Chapter 147: As The Storm Rises, The Four Emperors Gather
"Is this how the World Government treats an amazing Marine General?"
"No wonder the building at Naval Headquarters collapsed!"
"So a Civil War broke out in the Marines?"
"The World Government blocked the news. I never heard of this!"
People all over the world were talking about it. They did not expect such a conflict between Yuichi, the World Government, and the Marines.
"So, isn't Yuichi now... a pirate?"
Some pirates in the crowd suddenly became excited.
"A pirate? Yuichi, who has combat power comparable to a Marine Admiral, has become a pirate? Will he form a crew by himself? Or is he going to join someone else?"
"Being targeted by the World Government, there is no way for one person to fight against them alone!"
At this moment, all the major pirate crews on the sea wanted to recruit Yuichi. Even weaker pirates wanted to join him. With a captain who surpassed a Marine Admiral, they could survive in the New World instead of being chased by Marines in the first half of the Grand Line.
While people were talking, the post-war settlement began.
[The Fourth World War]
[Winner: Ninja World]
[Congratulations to the Ninja World for obtaining the Time Selection Privilege for the next three World Wars]
[Ninja World power increased by 1%]
[One Piece World power weakened by 1%]
At this moment, the two worlds presented completely different changes. All creatures in the Ninja World were bathed in white light, feeling an increase in strength.
On the other side, in the Pirate World, it was as if vitality was being drained.
Whitebeard felt it profoundly. He could clearly perceive the loss of vitality in his body; he felt weaker, his spirit tired.
"This feeling is really uncomfortable!" Whitebeard sighed.
The entire Whitebeard crew looked unwell. Although they had enjoyed watching the Marines get beaten, they were not happy now. They realized they should have hoped for a Marine victory to avoid this weakening.
Yuichi, who was in his cabin, had returned early specifically to test this. He wanted to see if his own strength would diminish.
The result: Yuichi's Haki power was indeed weakened. He could clearly perceive that the destructive power of his Haki had dropped. It wasn't that he had less Haki, but the output per unit had been nerfed by the system.
However!
Reiatsu! Furyoku (Shamanic Power)!
These had no effect at all. To be precise, the weakening tried to take hold, but his personal System intervened.
[Detection of an unknown power weakening system]
[Clearing...]
[Clear complete]
[The System returns to normal]
Yuichi breathed a sigh of relief. Although Haki was weakened, the powers given by his System were protected. In the future, he would need to focus on powers other than Haki to hedge against World War losses.
While Yuichi analyzed his stats, the people of the Pirate World began yelling at the Marines and the World Government. They had completely forgotten that their world had won three times thanks to Marine efforts. After losing just once, the backlash was overwhelming. The hunger for victory was now insatiable.
Commander-in-Chief Kong watched the light curtain disappear. The next World War would start in seven days.
"Sure enough... no way!" Kong shook his head helplessly.
He had followed the will of the Five Elders, sending loyalists to let them gain power. But the ninjas had slapped them in the face. It turned out that the A-rank ninjas were far stronger than anticipated. Their teamwork, Shadow Clones, and traps made them generally stronger than Marine officers of the same level.
"Hey!"
The failure of the war, coupled with Sengoku's stubbornness and Garp's support of him, meant the World Government was in trouble. The story of the Marine debacle would soon be known.
Just when Kong was getting annoyed, the phone on his desk rang.
"Hello! What's the matter?" Kong asked in a low tone.
"Commander-in-Chief... big... big problem! Report from the team monitoring the Four Emperors!"
"What is it?"
"The Four Emperors—Red-Haired Shanks, Kaido of the Beasts, and Big Mom—have organized large fleets at the same time and set sail in the same direction!"
Three Emperors sailing in the same direction!
"Where are they going?"
"The intersection of their routes... If I am not mistaken, it will be the sea area where the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick is anchored!"
"What?" Kong stood up, eyes wide in shock.
"Four Emperors... Assemble!!!"
