Chapter 118: Territorial Influence
Chapter 118: Territorial Influence
Is it over?
No, how could a single Iskandar Island satisfy the appetite of the Pluto Pirates?
Early the next morning, before the events on Iskandar Island had spread, the Pluto Pirates took action again.
Led by their various Cadre, they sailed in the Marine Warships that had been devoured and modified by Titan, occupying all the surrounding Islands.
Planting the flag of the Pluto Pirates, the original Faction on the Islands either submitted, were killed, or fled.
Ultimately, centered around Iskandar Island, the Sea Area encompassing a total of thirteen Islands officially became the Territory of the Pluto Pirates.
"That guy moves really fast."
Floating Island, Flying Pirates Base Camp.
The magnificent golden palace was moved directly by Shiki from a certain Kingdom.
Sitting upon the Throne, Shiki "The Golden Lion" couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
A period of time had passed, and the strength of the Flying Pirates had clearly increased, both in quantity and quality.
In terms of Faction, they still couldn't compare to the Golden Pirates, and in high-end combat power, they were weaker than the Werewolf Pirates.
Regardless, the Flying Pirates were rising at an unstoppable speed.
Surpassing them was only a matter of time.
Because Shiki was still growing, could still grow, and had another twenty to thirty years of growth period.
But both "Golden King" Donovan and "Werewolf" Quero had already reached their peak.
As Sea Overlord of the old era, they were also facing the impact of the new era.
It was clearly very difficult for them to continue improving their strength or expanding their Faction.
Compared to them, the vast majority of Pirate would choose Shiki "The Golden Lion".
His astonishing development speed, if one didn't count the suddenly appearing Pluto Pirates, could be said to be far ahead of the pack.
The Pirate Crew established by Seniors like John, Silver Axe, and Wang Zhi simply couldn't compare.
Despite this, the Flying Pirates were still being suppressed by the Pluto Pirates.
Hades possessed many advantages that Shiki couldn't match.
Similarly, Shiki also had merits that Hades didn't.
"This can't go on."
Unsatisfied, despite developing so rapidly, Shiki "The Golden Lion" was still unsatisfied with everything he currently possessed.
Everything is afraid of comparison; contrasted with the Pluto Pirates, he desired even more.
Desire was the driving force behind everything.
Shiki also had the idea of leaving Hachinosu, finding a Territory that truly belonged to him, and embarking on his own path as a hegemon.
But in this era, that was clearly not allowed.
There was only one Sea Overlord on The Great Sea, and only one was permitted, and that was Rocks D.
Xebec.
Even Hades didn't have such an idea.
Unless the Rocks Pirates disbanded, before that, no matter how many thoughts one had, they had to be suppressed.
As for Hades, Shiki greatly admired him.
In his eyes, Hades' most impressive quality wasn't his talent, his strength, or his background.
It was his incredibly strong decision and execution.
Before that, there would be a complete plan.
This was something Shiki couldn't do.
He had watched how Hades expanded his Faction and established his Pirate Crew in such a short time.
Therefore, he needed a strategist who could formulate action plans, someone who could be called an advisor, or a staff officer who oversaw the overall situation.
And he would be the executor.
Hades could do this himself, and moreover, he had a vast Faction behind him.
In the development process of the Rocks Pirates, the role of the Intelligence Organization could not be ignored.
Shiki used to only value strength.
As his Faction expanded and he saw more, he also began to understand what he needed.
Never underestimate the power of wisdom.
Develop his own Intelligence Force.
.
.
No, he didn't have that ability.
He needed talent in this area.
Hades didn't know that Shiki had already begun competing with him in secret.
As the news reached various Faction, the Pluto Pirates would undoubtedly be given more importance.
Especially the Marines.
The Territory of the Pluto Pirates was located in the New World Center.
If they wanted to invade the rear part of the New World, the Core Area of the Rocks Pirates, the Pluto Pirates would inevitably be an important barrier obstructing them.
The current Pluto Pirates already posed such a threat; they had too many Strongman, and they were still growing.
Especially Hades, who was at the forefront, and his Guard, Titan.
Really, in just a few years, the Pluto Pirates would become like an iron wall.
The stimulus from the Pluto Pirates, coupled with various reasons, led the Marines and Army to decide to take action.
Most importantly, the World Government did not wish to maintain the current situation; they needed to counterattack.
Two years time had passed since the World Conference, and the Rocks Pirates had been attacking World Government Affiliated Nation.
Every few days, they would attack a Member Nation, sometimes dispatching several Legion at once.
Although the intelligence gathering of the Marines and World Government could obtain most of the intelligence on the Rocks Pirates, allowing them enough time to respond, they weren't successful every time.
The number of destroyed Member Nation, severely damaged Member Nation was not small.
Some Member Nation that had been restored with the help of the World Government even suffered a second destruction.
This caused the foundation that the Royal Family of these destroyed Member Nation had preserved to be consumed again.
This also made many Royal Family of destroyed nations no longer think about restoring their nations.
To be precise, before the downfall of the Rocks Pirates, they would not restore their nations.
Little master, there's more to this chapter later, oh, please click next page to continue reading, the later part is more exciting!
Staying in Mary Geoise was also safe.
During this period, they also didn't need to hand over Heavenly Tribute.
Possessing vast wealth, the World Government dared not act against them and even had to provide them with good food and drink.
All the Member Nation were watching!
The quantity of World Government Affiliated Nation had been decreasing, breaking the 200 mark early on, and now only 186 Member Nation remained.
The annual amount of Heavenly Tribute had significantly reduced.
The World Government's influence in the World was constantly suffering blows.
The Member Nation couldn't tolerate it, and the World Government couldn't endure it either!
If this continued, the World Government would not be far from downfall.
Moreover, facing this situation, Member Nation Around the World were constantly exerting pressure.
Because the current situation had not changed.
Although the Marines had dispatched combatant strength to the Four Seas, reducing the number of Pirate in the Four Seas, they still faced the threat of the Rocks Pirates.
The World Government had dispatched reinforcements to the Marines but had no concrete action to contain the Rocks Pirates.
Even their defense was full of loopholes, with Member Nation constantly perishing.
After the World Conference, the Member Nation united again and issued a final warning to the World Government.
If the World Government still did not launch action and did not produce results that satisfied them, they would continue to reduce the amount of Heavenly Tribute.
This time, there would be no room for negotiation, and they would even refuse to participate in the upcoming World Conference.
Although the Marines and Army were already making efforts, the constant destruction of Member Nation was an undeniable fact.
No one would care about their hard work.
For the Member Nation, they only looked at results.
