Chapter 165: One-On-One Duel, The Rules Of World War
What Whitebeard said about the rules was exactly what Yuichi had initially thought.
The Five Emperors Alliance had just been established. Although in terms of strength, reputation, and influence, Whitebeard was undoubtedly the strongest, Kaido, Big Mom, and Shanks were not easy to deal with. Regardless of their internal thoughts, those who became Emperors were not willing to suffer losses easily. Therefore, it was necessary to formulate absolutely fair and just rules.
Whitebeard and Yuichi had basically reached an agreement. Therefore, in subsequent votes, at worst, a situation of two votes against three could be formed. Kaido and Big Mom might join forces temporarily, but Shanks didn't deal with them very well. Shanks was about to face a choice: choose Yuichi/Whitebeard's side, or the side of Kaido and Linlin. Under normal circumstances, Whitebeard felt that Shanks would definitely choose him. This brat under Roger had connections with him.
Therefore, future decisions would likely evolve into a three-to-two vote. This would form an overwhelming advantage. Everything was under control.
Kaido and Big Mom didn't know yet that there was a tacit understanding between Yuichi and Whitebeard, but the first thing they did after sensing the dynamic was try to win over Yuichi to form countermeasures. This was naturally the best thing for Yuichi, so he didn't object.
After the structure of the alliance was settled, they discussed irrelevant notes—for example, that the alliance was only in name and they were still in charge of their own territories.
Time passed bit by bit. There was still one last hour before the start of the Fifth World War.
Whitebeard and the others didn't plan to leave. They would watch this World War right here. They hoped that the Marines would be defeated again this time. Although the world would be weakened, the chance for the pirates to take the stage had come.
At the same time, people all over the world were quietly looking forward to the start of the war. There was excitement, but also worry. It was related to the survival of the two worlds. Even if the world lost once, it would not be destroyed, but the feeling of weakening power was unpleasant. They didn't want to experience it a second time.
"I hope the Marines won't lose to those ninjas again!"
"A lot of things have happened in the Marines recently. I really don't understand what the World Government is thinking! If Mr. Yuichi was there, who is obviously strong, we wouldn't lose so badly! But these people actually forced such a powerful person gone!"
Many people gathered to discuss this, beating their chests angrily, feeling helpless regarding the World Government and Marines. But although it was regretful, the person who left the Marines had now become the Fifth Emperor of the Sea—the most hated pirate in the eyes of ordinary people.
At Naval Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Kong sat in the Fleet Admiral's office, listening to a Den Den Mushi. On the other end were the Five Elders, telling Kong to win at all costs.
Kong was full of confidence. He didn't understand the situation last time, but this time he had gained the absolute right to speak and could dispatch truly powerful Marine Generals. A World War would be no problem.
After hanging up, a smile finally appeared on Kong's face. "As long as we continue to win World Wars, not only will the world not be destroyed, but the Marines will also become stronger! At that time, there will be no alliance of Five Emperors, no pirates, and even this Era of Great Pirates will be completely ended!"
Thinking of a peaceful sea, Kong looked very excited. He still had justice in his heart. The World Government had done a lot of stupid things, but as long as they could be corrected, the world could still be saved.
However, Kong ignored a problem. If one day there were no pirates and no threat from the sea, what was the point of the Marines' existence? To guard the world? Ridiculous! No matter how sharp the sword is, if it is useless, it is left in the warehouse to gather dust, thrown away, or smelted.
Just when he was imagining that the sea would be peaceful soon, the Fifth World War began!
The light curtain in the sky appeared on time again. There was a sound like a TV turning on. Everyone raised their heads and looked toward the sky.
[The Fifth World War Begins]
[Method: One-on-One Duel]
[Representative forces of the two worlds each send 5 people with S-level combat power.]
[A total of 10 people. One-on-one battles. The side with the most victories wins the World War.]
[Regardless of the final result, the combatants who win the battle will receive a special reward.]
[Ninja World]
[Faction: Five Kage Alliance]
Whitebeard and the others on Sky Island saw the words "Five Kage Alliance." Suddenly, they looked at each other. It seemed that the people in the other world had done the same thing. And they were one step ahead; those ninjas were not very strong, but they were smart. They also discovered the rules of the World War!
[Pirate World]
[Faction: Five Emperors Alliance]
When the "Five Emperors Alliance" was selected, Whitebeard and the others were stunned.
What was the situation? Didn't Yuichi say that the Marines would be defeated twice before it would be their turn? Why were they selected by the light curtain now?
Even Yuichi felt incredible.
At this moment, the people who were more puzzled were the World Government, the Five Elders, and the Marines... especially the Marines, who were all ready to save face! They were confused. Why did the representative force suddenly change to the Five Emperors Alliance?
