REVIEWS AND POWERSTONES PLSSS!!!!!
CHAPTER 297 TEACHER AND STUDENTS
The entire world was naturally deeply shocked by this news.
That was Navy Headquarters.
In the eight hundred years since the World Government established Navy Headquarters, this organization had continuously suppressed the entire sea.
They might have had failures, but never such a devastating defeat.
Even the once invincible Rocks Pirates, even the Roger Pirates who'd achieved unprecedented accomplishments—they'd never driven the Navy to such a state!
Two fleets commanded by three admirals were completely routed. Aside from Admiral Kizaru managing to escape by luck through his ability, all other expedition personnel were captured!
This even included two monster pirates who'd just joined the Warlords!
Before this, everyone on the seas had undoubtedly believed this war would end with Navy victory.
Who could have imagined before this that the final result would be like this?!
The Navy had actually suffered such a devastating defeat!
"Was Black Arm Zephyr always this terrifying?!"
"Did he plan this all along, just hiding his power while in the Navy?!"
People couldn't help having such speculations. After all, the newspapers didn't explain Brett's role in this battle—he hadn't even appeared in the papers at all.
People on the seas had no idea Brett was also involved in this matter.
People just wondered how the man who'd even had his arm severed by a pirate before had suddenly become so formidable now?
After all, among those he'd captured, besides Navy Headquarters' three admirals, there was also the pirate who'd severed his arm before.
That bastard must have been acting before!
This was natural speculation.
However, speculation about Zephyr wasn't the point. The real point was—after this battle, how the world situation would change.
"Are you kidding me? The Navy suffered such a devastating defeat. Can it still protect our safety in the future?!"
Kings of numerous member nations shrieked in panic.
If even the Navy couldn't shelter them, how could they remain unscathed in this chaotic Great Pirate Era?
If the Navy couldn't provide them protection, why should they pay massive Heavenly Tribute every year to become part of the government?
"The Navy suffered such a devastating defeat. The NEO Navy's rise is now unstoppable! What will this world become afterward?!"
Many people had become quite pessimistic about the sea's future.
After all, in the government's propaganda, Zephyr was a betrayer of justice, a villain harboring evil intentions.
His victory naturally meant justice's defeat—a microcosm of the world order collapsing.
Thus, the entire world fell into panic.
People feared the world's changes, feared the future's arrival.
Could the World Government still rule this world as it had for eight hundred years? Could this world still be as stable as before?
Those contemplating this weren't just common people on the seas—kings of various member nations had also fallen into deep thought.
The NEO Navy—this force that originally nobody paid much attention to—could it really possess the power to overturn the world?
Member nations under the government became panicked. Naturally then, the World Government non-member nations in the New World that had previously joined under the NEO Navy banner now became excited.
They seemed to have made the most correct choice.
Such powerful strength was completely sufficient to protect them from harassment by New World pirates.
"Has our hope finally appeared?!"
New World, a certain non-World Government member nation—the white-haired old king nearly wept. "Has someone who can protect us in these chaotic waters finally appeared?!"
Because of his powerful strength, Zephyr and the NEO Navy he commanded had now become the hope of many people.
New World—the monsters were also shaken by this battle.
"They actually won!"
Charlotte Linlin held the newspaper, her face filled with astonishment. "Brett and Zephyr, those two, can actually accomplish this?!"
Though she believed no one on the seas could defeat her, wanting to defeat a lineup of three admirals plus two Warlords and a bunch of vice admirals—even her Charlotte Family probably couldn't do it.
But that guy Brett had done it. Even after achieving victory, he'd only let Kizaru alone escape while capturing everyone else.
This was simply miraculous results!
"Ma ma ma ma, this isn't bad news at all. The World Government is probably quite troubled now!"
Charlotte Linlin grinned widely.
Though they'd had some conflicts, Brett was still an intimate partner of the Charlotte Family.
Below, Katakuri pressed his lips together, saying nothing.
Indeed, this indeed wasn't bad news.
"Ma ma ma ma, the New World is about to undergo massive changes. I need to hurry and contact that bastard Brett again!"
Wano Country, Flower Capital.
Because Onigashima had basically been destroyed, the Beasts Pirates could only relocate their headquarters here.
"That bastard!!"
Kaido, who'd been beaten by Brett before, still had bandages wrapped around his body. "I won't forgive him!!"
There'd already been irreconcilable conflicts with that bastard, plus what that guy had done in Wano this time—Kaido had long hated Brett to the bone.
"But Kaido-san, defeating that guy won't be easy."
King, whose body was similarly wrapped in thick bandages, said in a muffled voice.
Having also taken one of Brett's punches, he'd suffered serious injuries too.
When Onigashima collapsed, if Kaido hadn't rescued him, he'd have already sunk to the ocean floor and drowned.
"Fufufufufu, that guy Brett has indeed become a genuine monster."
Laughter rang out. The man wearing a feather coat smiled cheerfully. "But it's not necessarily completely impossible to handle. At least now the government is on our side too, right? How about trying to cooperate? I can be the middleman. After all, I'm still a Warlord member. The government should welcome it."
"Hmph."
Kaido snorted coldly. "Any news from that bastard Queen? Still haven't found traces of Yamato and those fools?"
After the Beasts Pirates returned, they'd immediately begun carpet search operations, vowing to root out all enemies lurking in this country and completely destroy them.
"About that—" Kimg paused. "Still searching."
"Tell that bastard to speed up. No matter how many die, I just want to see those bastards' heads placed before me!"
"Yes."
A certain island in the New World.
In a dim prison, in a row of cages made from solid alloy, two men—one red, one blue—were bound by chains, firmly tied to the ground.
Tap tap tap tap.
Footsteps rang out.
Someone came.
"Ara ara."
The blue man opened his eyes. "Zephyr-sensei, have you come to mock your fallen students?"
"Just wanted to chat with my foolish students."
The visitor sat cross-legged outside the prison.
"Stop talking nonsense."
The red man said coldly. "I don't think there's anything left to discuss between us."
"Don't be so absolute."
Zephyr smiled. "Let's chat—about this world."
