Chapter 318: Evolution Complete
The seas surged with rising storms.
In this short span of time, three new Emperors rose again on the seas, shocking the entire ocean.
The Saint-Bang Pirates were destroyed by the Beasts Pirates. The Poken Pirates were destroyed by the Red-Haired Pirates. The Caesar Pirates were destroyed by the Red Demon Pirates.
The Great Age of Pirates had entered the era of the Five Emperors.
A large number of pirate crews joined under the Five Emperors as subordinate pirate crews. All at once… the chaotic situation of the New World improved considerably.
However, because of the prestige of the Five Emperors, the authority of the Navy across the seas was suppressed. In the Four Seas, large numbers of newcomers set sail, forming new pirate crews and flooding into the ocean.
…
In the waters at the entrance to the New World, not far from the Red Line.
On a massive island.
The enormous fortress bearing the Marine Headquarters emblem stood tall.
Fleet Admiral's Office.
"Sengoku, in a few months I will step down as Fleet Admiral. At that time, you will take over the position."
Kong looked at Sengoku and spoke calmly.
"Fleet Admiral Kong, why so suddenly?" Sengoku frowned slightly.
"I will be transferred to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armed Forces. Do you have the confidence to manage the Navy well?"
"Yes."
Sengoku nodded.
"Mm. After you become Fleet Admiral, three Marine Admirals will be selected at the same time. Do you have any suggestions?"
"Borsalino, Kuzan, and Sakazuki. With their strength and achievements, they are fully qualified to serve as the three Marine Admirals. Right now, the Navy needs to establish its prestige across the seas."
"Mm, then it will be those three. Let them continue hunting pirates during this period."
Knock, knock, knock!
At that moment, a knocking sound came from the door.
"Come in," Kong said in a deep voice.
A man in a suit walked in from outside.
"Fleet Admiral Kong, the ten Poseidon-class warships have been delivered," the suited man said while lowering his head.
"Poseidon warships?" Sengoku looked at Kong in confusion.
"The Poseidon warships are battleships the World Government created based on the ancient weapon Pluton. They're for us to use to pacify the seas."
Hearing this, Sengoku immediately understood. A trace of delight flashed in his eyes.
They had already experienced the power of Pluton through the Dragon Flame Pirates' Dragon Flame ship. If they possessed a fleet like that, eliminating pirates would become much easier.
…
On Dragon Island.
"Roar! Roar! Roar~"
Earth-shaking roars rang out, carrying waves of dragon might that surged into the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
The ground trembled repeatedly.
At this moment, Jiang Qize stood below Ancestral Dragon Peak, looking at the dinosaurs below.
The dinosaurs whose bloodlines had evolved had now awakened.
They stood in neat rows, looking at him. In their vertical pupils that glimmered with faint golden light, they gazed at him with respect.

[Abilities]: Violent Bite (each bite has a bite force reaching 20 tons), Power of the Earth (while fighting on land, restores 1% stamina per second)

[Abilities]: Flame Fang (attacks carry burning damage)

…
Looking at their attributes, they had all transformed into sub-dragon bloodlines—half-dragon species—and each possessed elemental abilities.
Seeing this, the corner of Jiang Qize's mouth lifted.
"Not bad."
Then he opened Wind God's attribute panel.
