Chapter 164: The Purpose Of The Five Emperors, The World War Is About To Start
Pirates all over the world were celebrating. This seemed to be a sign that the prosperous age of pirates was about to begin.
At the same time, for many ordinary people, the establishment of the Five Emperors Alliance was shocking not just because of the new Emperor, but because five such figures could form an alliance at all. Everyone known as an "Emperor of the Sea" dominated their own territory. They should be at odds with each other, yet in the blink of an eye, they had formed an unprecedented coalition.
The Four Emperors, Marines, and World Government formed a balance. Now that the Four Emperors had become the Five Emperors, this balance was broken. What was even more frightening was that they were united.
This was undoubtedly blockbuster news. When it spread, everyone felt that the sky had collapsed.
"These Pirate Emperors... how could they be united all of a sudden?"
"What exactly are they trying to do?"
"Could it be to destroy the World Government! Or challenge the Marines?"
Ordinary people felt there were too many things to worry about right now. The World War was about to begin. The last time their world was defeated, the power of the whole world was weakened. Seeing this new war approaching, everyone was looking forward to the Marines recovering their face and strengthening the world again.
But the pirates were restless at this juncture. With the creation of this alliance, how should the Marines deal with it?
The Fifth World War will begin in less than seven hours.
The news had spread throughout the world, and everyone was discussing the purpose of the alliance.
Right now in the New World, on the Golden Lion's floating Island, the five Emperors held a temporary talk. It was perfect—even more suitable than Whitebeard's purpose-built Sea Town. There were no Marine or World Government spies here. There was absolutely no way for them to listen to the conversation.
Somewhere on the Sky Island, in an area the size of a football field, five Sea Emperors sat around a huge round table. Five cups of sake were placed on simple wooden stands.
Whitebeard sat in the main seat, occupying the absolute core. To his left was Kaido; to his right was Big Mom. Shanks sat next to Kaido, and Yuichi was arranged next to Big Mom. The five gathered in a semicircle.
This seating allocation showed Yuichi's current status in the league. In terms of strength, although Yuichi was recognized by the other four, neither party in the battle with Kaido had done their absolute best, so there was no definite conclusion yet. In terms of military power, Yuichi was the weakest existence among the five.
However, because of Yuichi's age—making it this far so young, like another Shanks—the four of them recognized him.
The current talks would reveal the second reason why Yuichi could join the alliance.
Whitebeard raised his hand and motioned to Yuichi. "Now tell them! Your analysis of the World War."
Listening to Whitebeard's casual tone, speaking as if to someone close to him, Big Mom, Kaido, and even Shanks showed a subtle change in complexion. During a meeting of Emperors, words were not spoken casually. Whitebeard wanted to express how good his relationship with Yuichi was.
The others quickly returned their expressions to normal.
Five Emperors. Five was an odd number, so it wasn't difficult to guess that when the alliance made major decisions in the future, the rule of majority vote would be adopted. Allies were important. Whether to get something out of Yuichi or to snag an ally, Yuichi had become somewhat sought after.
Under the eyes of the four people, Yuichi stood up slowly. He coughed lightly, adjusting his voice. Then, he spoke.
"About the World Wars... after four wars, I probably found some patterns!"
"First things first! The forces that fight for the world are not fixed, but rotated! The first one to be picked is the strongest force in the world. In the Ninja World, the strongest force is Konoha Village, but in our world, it is the Marines!"
"The rule of rotation is that when the selected faction is defeated, the representative faction participating in the battle will be replaced!"
Yuichi spoke at a moderate pace while Kaido, Big Mom, and Shanks contemplated.
Rotation...
Thinking about it according to Yuichi's words, it seemed plausible.
Shanks raised his eyebrows. "So if the Marines lose again, then next time they will rotate to other forces to replace them! Is this why we formed the Five Emperors Alliance?"
"That's right!" Yuichi nodded.
But Kaido was confused. "How can you be sure that they will definitely choose our newly formed alliance?"
Regarding this question, Yuichi had no way to give an accurate answer because he knew the Ninja World and the strength ranking among the Five Great Ninja Villages, but they didn't. Yuichi wouldn't reveal his knowledge of the Ninja World, so he gave an ambiguous answer.
"The second representative force in the Ninja World, if my guess is correct, is the second most powerful force besides Konoha Village! The subsequent Five Kage Alliance also concentrated the power of all the villages because they also saw this rule! They let the five villages become one force so that they would become the biggest faction!"
After hearing such an explanation, although Kaido remained skeptical, he believed half of it because what Yuichi said was not unreasonable. According to this rule, the second group to fight must be the second most powerful force. The Five Emperors Alliance was not only the second strongest; it could be said to be even stronger than the Marines. It was undoubtedly the most powerful force in the Pirate World. So if the Marines were rotated out, the next one was sure to be their alliance.
Big Mom also thought about it for a moment. Although she didn't think Yuichi knew the rules completely, the analysis was sound. Now, Big Mom focused on Yuichi; in addition to his outstanding talent, he had a shrewd mind. It would be great to have someone like that join her Charlotte Family. A way must be found to absorb Yuichi's bloodline.
Whitebeard looked at everyone. "So you understand now that the significance of establishing the Five Emperors Alliance is for the next World War... As long as the Marines lose this time, then we will fight in that world next time!"
"Before that, I would like to explain that when the time comes, the five of us will discuss who will fight. A show of hands vote. If everyone chooses the person they support, then we randomly choose..."
