# Chapter 167: Byrnndi Pirates
"Just as I thought."
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Hades thought to himself.
This was information about the Rocks Pirates.
Edward Newgate, a Core Cadre of the Rocks Pirates, had a great battle with Gol D.
Roger, the Captain of the Roger Pirates, at Fish-Man Island.
The actual outcome of the battle wasn't clear, but Edward Newgate's retreat undoubtedly demonstrated the terrifying strength of Roger Pirates Captain Roger.
This also revealed a fact: the Roger Pirates had refused the invitation from the Rocks Pirates.
The Rocks Pirates were a terrifying Faction that had defeated the World Government in a frontal war.
Joining the Rocks Pirates was the wish of countless pirates, yet the Roger Pirates refused?
Even if it meant offending the Rocks Pirates, they were unwilling to join.
This kind of thinking was truly baffling.
For top-tier Strongmen like them, how many restrictions would there be if they joined the Rocks Pirates?
They could continue doing what they were doing before.
They could even gain a group of powerful combatants to plunder treasure, making their actions safer.
Battles with the Marines were already a normal part of a pirate's life.
The Roger Pirates, for instance, were constantly being pursued by the current Marine Vice Admiral Garp.
They were already being targeted by the Marines, and now they had also offended the Rocks Pirates.
Where in the New World was there still space for the Roger Pirates to survive?
Joining the Rocks Pirates wasn't a difficult choice.
Once the Rocks Pirates disbanded, they would naturally leave, and nothing would change from how things were now.
The Rocks Pirates were destined to disband; this was a consensus among many pirates.
Very few Pirate Crews could last for a long time.
The absolute core of the Rocks Pirates, Captain Rocks D.
Xebec, was now fifty-seven years old.
This was the time when his strength was at its peak, but how long could such a peak last?
In another ten-odd years, Rocks would be nearly seventy.
At that time, how could Rocks suppress these Monsters who had fully grown up?
This news shocked the entire World, elevating the prestige of the Roger Pirates even further after the War of Annihilation.
The Roger Pirates, conversely, gained the support of many pirates.
There were quite a few pirates who disliked the domineering style of the Rocks Pirates.
But under the suppression of the Rocks Pirates, they didn't dare to even think of resistance.
The Roger Pirates daring to "say no" to the Rocks Pirates was the first time since the Rocks Pirates were established.
The Roger Pirates thus gained the support of many pirates.
The monopoly of the Rocks Pirates made people hope for the emergence of an existence capable of resisting the Rocks Pirates.
But the vast majority had no confidence in the Roger Pirates.
Currently, the entire New World was the territory of the Rocks Pirates; there was nowhere to hide.
This was the first time a pirate had dared to challenge Rocks' authority.
"However, your days are going to be tough from now on."
Hades laughed inwardly.
He knew just how strong the influence and strength of the Rocks Pirates were.
The Roger Pirates, having arrived in the New World, wouldn't necessarily find it impossible to move an inch, but they would certainly be extremely uncomfortable.
However, without Rocks D.
Xebec personally making a move, unless multiple Core Cadres acted together, it would be difficult to completely defeat the Roger Pirates suddenly.
Instead, they would become a whetstone for the growth of the Roger Pirates.
Hades had no intention of interfering.
His focus was no longer on the Roger Pirates but on the Byrnndi Pirates.
Just as he had predicted.
Undoubtedly, in the face of the Roger Pirates' provocation, the Rocks Pirates issued a "Kill Order" to the Great Sea, placing an eight hundred million Beli bounty on Gol D.
Roger's head.
At the same time, they dispatched Cadres one after another, intending to pursue the Roger Pirates.
It was precisely this that completely pushed the Roger Pirates to the opposite side of the Rocks Pirates.
None of this should have happened.
The Roger Pirates unexpectedly refused the Rocks Pirates.
And the Rocks Pirates were accustomed to being domineering; no one had ever dared to defy them.
Having just arrived in the New World, the Roger Pirates suddenly found themselves targeted by everyone and were forced to hide everywhere.
Wandering around and coming to the New World for the first time, they now truly felt what kind of terrifying organization they had offended.
The tentacles of the Rocks Pirates had long extended to most areas of the New World.
The whereabouts of the Roger Pirates were difficult to conceal.
In a short period, they had clashed with multiple Core Cadres of the Rocks Pirates.
Shiki "The Golden Lion", John, Silver Axe.
The more they clashed, the more the Rocks Pirates valued the Roger Pirates and were willing to give them opportunities.
The Roger Pirates had many powerful combatants.
If they were to join the Rocks Pirates, they would definitely enhance the overall strength of the Rocks Pirates.
Facing such rare and valuable combatants in this era, Rocks was very generous.
But the Roger Pirates stubbornly refused anyway.
They were simply a prime example of someone refusing a generous offer.
After about a month of turmoil, the Roger Pirates, facing the powerful Rocks Pirates, disappeared from the Great Sea, having hidden somewhere unknown.
In the middle section of the New World, in the southern Sea Area near the Calm Belt.
The Byrnndi Pirates were wandering in this Sea Area.
Like ghosts, every time they appeared, they had to destroy something.
Pirate ships, towns, warships.
Byrnndi World was a true pirate, treating everyone outside of his own people as enemies.
An important point was that he deeply trusted his Crewmates and Subordinates and was very good to his own people.
His cruel style made him hated by enemies, but his willingness to stand up for his Subordinates also gave him extremely high prestige among pirate groups who had not suffered his terrifying attacks.
Many pirates were willing to join under such a powerful pirate.
The Byrnndi Pirates rapidly expanded under these circumstances, reaching a Great Fleet of three thousand pirates.
On Jones Island, which served as the temporary Base for the Byrnndi Pirates.
On this day, an important "guest" arrived.
The Byrnndi Pirates, led by Captain Byrnndi World, gathered at the Port of Jones Island.
Their gaze was fixed on the Great Sea, on the approaching Farazul.
The approaching Pluto Pirates.
That man was coming, Pluto Hades!
They had known this news for a long time.
When Newgate invited the Roger Pirates, they realized that it would soon be their turn.
And the movements of the Pluto Pirates along the way were not concealed at all, following a straight trajectory, their target undoubtedly being the Byrnndi Pirates.
The young Byrnndi World was not as insane as he would be in the future.
His older brother, Binjack, was still able to suppress Byrnndi World.
As time passed, Byrnndi World's inner brutality, destructive urges, and dissatisfaction with the World Government would grow stronger and stronger.
By then, even Binjack would be unable to suppress him, and he would have to let him do as he pleased.
The current Byrnndi Pirates could be subdued by the Rocks Pirates.
If it were the Byrnndi Pirates from a decade or so later, even if Rocks D.
Xebec himself came, it would be useless.
Hades felt a bit of expectation inwardly.
How far could Byrnndi World grow up after joining the Rocks Pirates?
In his memory, Byrnndi World should not have joined the Rocks Pirates.
He didn't know the advanced application techniques of Haki, nor Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
Relying on his monstrous talent, powerful body technique, and Devil Fruit ability, he became a top-tier Monster of this Great Sea.
He was a prime example of a "self-taught" Strongman.
Without exposure to that level, he ultimately couldn't control that kind of strength.
Byrnndi World also rarely fought against Monsters like Newgate.
It was precisely because of this that Byrnndi World was ultimately a step below Newgate and the others.
Before the structure of the Three Great Legendary Pirates was established, he was captured by the Marines and imprisoned in Impel Down.
That domineering and wild gaze made Byrnndi World feel as if he was being targeted by a terrifying creature.
The seemingly "petite" body of Hades contained a strength that he dared not underestimate in any way.
