"The Eight Kings of the Underworld? Interesting." Ye Chen smiled slightly, his expression flashing with a hint of unknown amusement. The New World seemed unexpectedly interesting.

In the original work, it was only lightly mentioned that the Four Emperors ruled the New World, but now, it seemed that was not entirely the case.

Although the Four Emperors were powerful, ruling the entire New World was not realistic. After all, those who could make a living in the New World were not idle people; everyone's heart was full of arrogance,

and everyone was a cunning scoundrel. Although the Four Emperors were strong, it didn't mean they could conquer everyone. And the Eight Kings of the Underworld were probably part of that.

At this moment, Esdeath looked at Doflamingo and said, "Doflamingo, besides these two pirate crews, are there any other major forces, ones whose power is similar to theirs, like the remaining Eight Kings of the Underworld?"

Doflamingo considered it for a moment, then chuckled: "Not yet. The intelligence we've received so far only concerns these two pirate crews."

"How is their strength?" Esdeath's eyes glinted with battle intent, and she asked Doflamingo with great interest. For the past few days, she had been dealing with pirates of little strength. Esdeath had long felt utterly bored. If it weren't for Ye Chen's order, she would probably be too lazy to even move.

"The Heaven Wolf Pirates once contended with the current Red-Haired Pirates for the position of a Four Emperor. Although they later failed in their bid and suffered a great loss of vitality, their strength is still not to be underestimated.

Their overall strength is only slightly inferior to a Four Emperor. And although the Minotaur Pirates are not as strong as the Heaven Wolf Pirates, they are also a relatively strong pirate crew in the New World." Doflamingo slowly spoke, explaining the strength of the two pirate crews in detail.

"Contended with Shanks before, it seems this Heaven Wolf Pirates is no pushover," Ye Chen thought to himself. Although Shanks was currently the weakest of the Four Emperors, a Four Emperor was still a Four Emperor.

His strength was not something ordinary people could compare to. And the Heaven Wolf Pirates could survive under Shanks's hand and even become one of the Eight Kings of the Underworld. One could imagine how strong this pirate crew was.

"Lord Ye Chen, I want the Heaven Wolf Pirates. Leave this one to me." Esdeath's face was extremely excited, her eyes burning with battle intent. However, when she spoke, she paused for a moment, then looked at Ulquiorra and said, "You can't snatch this one from me."

Ulquiorra glanced at Esdeath, his face expressionless as he said, "This is to appease Lord Ye Chen."

As soon as he spoke, Esdeath immediately turned her head and looked directly at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with a trace of longing. Looking at Esdeath's longing eyes, Ye Chen chuckled: "Alright then, Ulquiorra, the Minotaur Pirates are yours. As for the Heaven Wolf Pirates, I'll let Esdeath go. I'm still interested in someone who once fought Shanks."

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo's forehead was covered in cold sweat. 'These are truly ruthless people. Even if the Four Emperors were to make a move, they would prepare thoroughly before doing so.

These people, on the other hand, seem to have no thought of preparation at all, as if they're dealing with ordinary pirates, completely unconcerned.' And by the looks of it, Ye Chen intended to completely annihilate them.

However, Doflamingo didn't think they could annihilate both pirate crews with their methods. If their entire army were deployed, he wouldn't be very suspicious. After all, they were a group of lunatics who attacked Mary Geoise and forced Mary Geoise to compromise.

But if only one or two people were sent, he wouldn't believe it much. After all, the two pirate crews could still thrive under the Four Emperors, which showed their extraordinary nature.

At this moment, Ye Chen looked at Doflamingo and said, "Oh, right, besides the so-called Eight Kings of the Underworld and the Four Emperors, are there any other huge forces whose power is similar to theirs?"

"Fufufu." Doflamingo let out a strange laugh, looking at Ye Chen and saying, "Currently, no. On the surface, the Four Emperors rule, and in the underworld, the so-called Eight Kings of the Underworld rule.

This is the current situation in the New World." Hearing Doflamingo's words, Ye Chen also gained a general understanding of the New World. On the surface, the Four Emperors ruled, and the underworld was ruled by the so-called Eight Kings of the Underworld.

"Oh, right, are these two pirate crews related to Kaido?"

"Yes, the Minotaur Pirates are Kaido's subordinates. We're not sure about the Heaven Wolf Pirates for now, but there are rumors that the Heaven Wolf Pirates once contended

with a Four Emperor and were once pushed into a dangerous situation by the Red-Haired Pirates, almost completely annihilated. Later, the Beast Pirates intervened, saving the Heaven Wolf Pirates."

"They could become one of the Eight Kings of the Underworld, and there's also the shadow of the Beast Pirates behind them."

"This is indeed true." Ye Chen heard this and immediately chuckled. He understood now. These two pirate crews had been completely under Kaido's command.

He estimated that these two pirate crews were just sent to test them, wanting to see the strength of Emperor's Landing. However, this time, it was estimated that Kaido would be disappointed.

These two pirate crews would probably go and not return, like a meat bun thrown to a dog—they would go and not return.

"Oh, right, what about your strength in the New World? Do you have a place among the Eight Kings?" Ye Chen asked. He had already generally understood the situation in the New World. The next thing he had to do was to understand Doflamingo's strength before doing this.

Doflamingo heard this and showed a bitter smile; "The Eight Kings are not yet my turn."

"How about I let you sit among the Eight Kings, and you help me do one thing?" Ye Chen said with a smile. Doflamingo heard this and instantly froze, his expression showing a hint of shock.

However, he quickly showed a hint of helplessness and shook his head: "Even if you help me get there, I can't keep it." Doflamingo still longed for the position of one of the Eight Kings,

but he also knew that even if he got there, he couldn't keep it. Although his strength was not bad, there were many who were stronger than him in the New World. Hearing this, Ye Chen thought for a moment, and then his eyes flashed with a hint of clarity.

At this time, Doflamingo's strength was not bad, but there was still a considerable gap compared to his future self. There was still a considerable gap until he awakened his Devil Fruit.
