Chapter 198: The Power Of The New Emperor, The Most Terrifying Hero
Although Enel didn't quite understand Yuichi's words, it seemed his leader didn't want him to interfere. Enel shrugged and walked back.
In the air, Golden Lion Shiki glanced at Yuichi. "Are you really going to deal with them alone?"
Yuichi nodded. "Ah."
Seeing that Yuichi was unwilling to say more, the Golden Lion guessed Yuichi wanted to make a clean break with the Marines.
At this time, "Black Arm" Zephyr appeared behind Yuichi, walking slowly. The roar of his huge mechanical arm—the Battle Smasher—put pressure on the surrounding soldiers.
Though the young sailors didn't know Zephyr, the Marine officers looked at him in great surprise.
"Teacher..."
The former Admiral and Chief Instructor was unknown to recruits, but many Rear Admirals and even Vice Admirals present were his former students. Hearing the generals call the newcomer "Teacher," the soldiers were confused. Who was this person?
Zephyr came to Yuichi's side. He glanced at Garp and Sengoku, his gaze complicated but fleeting.
Looking at Yuichi, he said, "I originally said I would come to help! But now it seems that you want to settle this yourself!"
Settle? Yuichi didn't explicitly say that, but he didn't want to explain either. Silence was the best choice.
Seeing that Yuichi didn't speak, Zephyr patted him on the shoulder. "Then this battle is up to you to resolve!"
"Zephyr!"
Suddenly, Sengoku shouted.
When the name "Zephyr" rang out, the soldiers felt as if they had heard it somewhere before.
"When did you start hanging out with pirates too?!"
Sengoku questioned Zephyr. Regardless of whether Zephyr had defected from the Marines, Sengoku never imagined he would become a pirate. Zephyr's family had died at the hands of pirates; his hatred for them should never have disappeared.
Zephyr stopped. "What are you trying to say, Sengoku?"
"Are you a pirate now?"
Zephyr did not avoid the question. He nodded directly. "That's right! The NEO Marines are now formally merged under the Pirate Emperor Yuichi's command!"
"What?!" Sengoku stared blankly.
Zephyr had become a pirate? How did Yuichi convince him? Whether it was the Golden Lion or Zephyr, what method did Yuichi use to make these men willingly become his subordinates?
The soldiers on the side asked their officers, "Vice Admiral, who is this man named Zephyr?"
The Vice Admiral opened his mouth slowly. "Black Arm Zephyr. Former Marine Admiral, Chief Instructor of the Marines. Many generals, even Admiral Kizaru and Admiral Aokiji, were once his disciples!"
This news was shocking. A former Marine Admiral of the same era as Sengoku and Garp! But how did he become a pirate?
In the auditorium of the Pirate World, the audience suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.
"Wait!"
"The former Marine Admiral Zephyr! Plus the Golden Lion Shiki, who fought Roger, and the Logia Lightning user... the strength of these three is completely comparable to the Admirals!"
The pirates in the audience began to react.
"The New Emperor, Yuichi! This guy has gathered three major powers under his command!"
"Originally, the Four Emperors had their own three top commanders, but now the New Emperor has his own 'Three Great Powers,' and they aren't weaker than the old Yonko's crews!"
"Not only are they not weak," a voice analyzed, "The NEO Marines have a large number of troops and their own weapons laboratory. The Flying Pirates, though damaged in the past, are still a massive fleet. Plus that new guy with the invincible Logia ability..."
"New Emperor Yuichi... he might still have a gap compared to Whitebeard or Kaido in total numbers, but his elite force is definitely on par with Red-Haired Shanks!"
The audience was ebullient. Yuichi, originally regarded as a loner on the throne, possessed terrifying power.
"And look at that ship," someone pointed out. "The Ark Maxim in the sky. It's a ship capable of flying! No wonder the Five Emperors gathered on a Sky Island."
"From a person about to become a Marine Admiral to the Fifth Emperor with a massive army... is this really a coincidence?"
Someone raised the question, and the implications made everyone's brains explode. How could this be accidental? If it wasn't an accident, it meant Yuichi had planned all of this.
"This man... has been planning for years!"
Everyone shuddered. If Yuichi's strength was shocking, his patience and scheming were terrifying. He had waited so many years to explode onto the scene.
"This guy is definitely the scariest villain of this era..."
