Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 219 Aftermath of the War

Just the day after the war ended, news about it spread throughout the world at an unprecedented speed.

Even before Kaido, Thatch, and Cracker were captured, most people in the world speculated that the world would definitely experience a period of turmoil.

Even though they were somewhat prepared, they never expected the upheaval to be so intense.

Most of the prisoners in Impel Down escaped, but the vast majority died on the battlefield. The Whitebeard Pirates and Big Mom Pirates were both severely damaged, leaving less than 10% of their original strength. Almost all of their low- and mid-level combatants were wiped out.

Although the roots are still there, it will definitely take a long time to recover.

Moreover, the key question is whether the Navy will allow them to continue their recovery efforts.

After all, the Navy's losses this time were far less than those of the pirates, and the Navy that came later didn't even get to the battlefield.

When they arrived, only the two locations where Garp and his group were still fighting remained on the battlefield, so they naturally couldn't get involved.

In conclusion, after this war, although the Whitebeard Pirates and Big Mom Pirates still have their core strengths, they can no longer dominate the seas as they did before.

While other pirate crews may not be as strong as these two at the top, they are even stronger in the lower and middle ranks.

However, if they were to actually fight these two pirate crews, they would still be no match for them, since these two pirate crews have two top-tier fighters, Whitebeard and Big Mom.

Top-tier combat power is still of paramount importance in warfare.

At this moment, in a certain area of ​​the New World, a pirate crew is sailing here.

This is the ship of the Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, or rather, one of the Three Emperors' pirate crews.

At this moment, on the ship, Shanks sat in a chair, looking at the newspaper in his hand, with an "I knew it" expression on his face.

"I knew it! Going there would have been a disaster!"

"Luckily, we already have 'experience' and didn't get involved in this in the past!"

"really!"

As soon as the red-haired man finished speaking, Lucky Roux chimed in.

The others reacted similarly, nodding subconsciously one by one.

Upon seeing the newspaper report, an idea suddenly popped into their minds.

It seems that encountering Kyle and getting a beating from him isn't such a bad thing after all.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they would most likely go and get involved in such a situation.

After all, given their objectives, they didn't want to see the pirates suffer too many losses, otherwise, if the balance of power became too great, it would have a huge impact on their plans.

But now they don't think that way anymore, because Kyle has the same goal as them.

With Kyle, this overrated guy, around, the rest of the people don't seem so important.

So ever since they were redeemed by the Five Elders, they have learned a lesson and remembered one principle: never make an enemy of Kyle.

Making an enemy of that guy will definitely not end well.

As a result, two of the three Yonko-level pirate crews involved suffered heavy losses, and the other could be described as completely wiped out, although they didn't die.

However, they were all captured and imprisoned in Impel Down. After this battle, Impel Down will definitely be stricter with prisoners, making it much more difficult, if not impossible, to escape again.

As for the Red-Haired Pirates, because they were newly promoted to the Emperor-level pirate crew, their overall strength was the weakest among the four Emperor-level pirate crews.

After all, their development time is still too short compared to the other three Emperor-level pirate crews.

But now, after the battle at Impel Down, their pirate crew has become the strongest pirate crew in the world.

I didn't do anything, and I was inexplicably taken up there.

What do you mean by this?

"Speaking of which, the newspaper says that Kyle wiped out over 90% of the pirates single-handedly. Do you think that's true or false?"

Suddenly, Yasopp asked a question out of curiosity.

As soon as he said that, everyone else turned to look at him.

"Um...did I say something wrong?"

What do you think?

Lachi Ru spoke softly.

Even the usually composed Ben Beckman was looking at him with an expression as if he were an idiot, and said in a low voice:

"Yosbumi, it seems you didn't get enough of a shock three years ago, otherwise you probably wouldn't have said that!"

"Haven't felt Kyle's thunderous power in a while and you've forgotten what it is?"

"How about you go to Marine Headquarters and have Kyle give you a thunder shower, just to relive the experience?"

……

Yasopp remained silent for a while, then spoke:

"Then let's forget about it!"

At this moment, the redhead slowly stood up, a movement that immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at him.

The redhead slowly walked to the ship's railing, raised his eyes, gazed at the boundless sea ahead, and after a long silence, suddenly spoke:

"With Kyle's strength, nothing is too outrageous for him to do. This world..."

"Perhaps this era will truly bring about a massive change!"

"What we need to do is continuously strengthen our capabilities so that we can be qualified to participate when the tide of the times arrives!"

"And that day shouldn't be too far away..."

-

"The Whitebeard Pirates and Big Mom Pirates have been severely damaged? The Beasts Pirates have been wiped out?"

Somewhere on the high seas, a pirate stood up excitedly, staring intently at the newspaper in his hand.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding pirates immediately became excited, staring intently at him and asking:

"Really? Captain?!"

"Is that really what the newspapers said?"

"How could it be fake? See for yourselves!"

The pirate who spoke first handed the newspaper to his crew.

His face, however, was filled with intense excitement, and in his eyes burned a flame called ambition.

The Four Emperors have been severely damaged!

No, if three Yonko-level pirate crews are severely damaged, does that mean they are at their weakest point?

Especially the Beasts Pirates, who originally occupied such a large territory, could they now also get a share of the spoils?

The Whitebeard Pirates and Big Mom Pirates are in the same situation; with over 90% of their forces gone, they certainly can't hold onto such a large territory.

And even if we can't take the territory from them, we can take this opportunity to join one of the two pirate crews, right?

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; no matter how badly the two pirate crews are damaged, they are still at the top of the New World pirate crews.

For many pirates, the New World is not an easy place to survive. Pirate factions are intertwined here, and without strength, one will inevitably become cannon fodder sooner or later.

Moreover, they might be wiped out at any time due to the clashes between those powerful pirate crews.

Normally, joining a Yonko-level pirate crew is no easy feat.

But now that so many people have died, it certainly wouldn't be too difficult to join again.

Moreover, even without them joining voluntarily, the Whitebeard Pirates and Big Mom Pirates will likely recruit in large numbers, so their current situation is not good.

Recruiting forces is inevitable!

In an instant, countless pirates from all over the world flocked to the territories occupied by Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido.

Some pirates went to seize territory, while others wanted to join them.

The world order has quietly undergone tremendous changes, and a new era is about to begin!
