Regardless of the circumstances, since the news has still spread, then Seimei must go and see for himself. This is his own problem, and it is the treasure of the Rocks Pirates. No matter the circumstances, no matter whether the treasure is real or fake, as long as it is treasure, then as members of the Rocks Pirates, they must go.

"Hmm~"

Seimei squinted, gazing quietly into the distance, but couldn't help thinking about his conversations with Natsuki via Den Den Mushi.

……

Blue~~~

Blue~~~

As the Den Den Mushi connected, Seimei said with a teasing smile, "Natsuki, I really didn't expect you to contact me first. What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Xia Qi smiled and said, "But it can't compare to you, Seimei. In just two short years, you have developed Wano Country to such an extent. According to my intelligence, the Five Elders have even suggested that you directly become one of the council countries. Such a status is very formidable."

Seimei shook his head and said, "Although that's true, I'm not interested in joining the Council of Nations right now. After all, the Council of Nations is practically meaningless right now. If you want to do it, you have to do it the best you can. There are four superpowers on the sea right now, and the Elbaf Giant Kingdom hasn't joined the World Government. There are only three Council of Nations, and the other two positions are still vacant."

"Hehehe~~~"

Xia Qi teased with a smile, "As expected! As expected of you, Seimei! But it's nothing, it's your business. I have something to tell you this time. News has come out of Hatchinos that Captain Rocks' treasure has been discovered."

"what?!"

Seimei, completely taken aback and slightly stunned, said, "Shakky, your information is false, isn't it? Captain Rocks' treasure? That shouldn't be possible! Given Captain Rocks' personality, would he really possess such a treasure?"

Xia Qi said very calmly, "I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but consider this information a gift to you. If you want to continue trading in the future, you'll have to pay for it."

"Hehehe~~~"

Seimei smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. I accept this information. Besides, Wano Country will probably be buying a lot of information from you in the future, so remember to give me a discount."

"No problem, I'll break the bone."

"That's really stingy!"

"Information merchant, thanks for the invitation, no bargaining."

"Hehehe~~~"

……

Seimei pondered Shakky's thoughts at the time and thought to himself, "Given Shakky's personality, she clearly wanted to establish a long-term trade with Wano Country. It couldn't be a joke. In other words, the information about Captain Rocks' treasure must be true."

"Really are……"

Seimei shook his head with a sigh and said, "I really didn't expect that Captain Rocks actually had treasure. However! I feel there are still problems with this matter. We need to think about it carefully. If there are problems, we need to consider it thoroughly."

Snapped!

As he unfolded his fan, a different glint flashed in Seimei's eyes. This matter was definitely extremely troublesome and difficult to handle, so no matter what, he absolutely could not let his guard down, after all! From every angle, this matter exuded an eerie aura.

Seimei muttered to himself, "If this is their scheme, then we need to consider whether to call Suzuka over. If that happens, it would be quite an embarrassing situation."

after all!

Suzuka had just left, and now he'd summoned Suzuka Gozen back again—wasn't that incredibly embarrassing? Of course! These things still needed to be dealt with gradually; no one really knew the specifics of the situation.

Locks D. Gibek!

The discovery of this man's treasure caused a huge uproar on the high seas. Almost every major pirate on the sea, including those who had connections with the Rocks Pirates, headed straight for Hatchinos, since the news originated there.

……

Wow~~~

Wow~~~

The ghost ship sailed on the sea, while Qiren Gorge carefully surveyed its surroundings. Yun asked curiously, "Lord Fengli! Is the sea in this world so vast?"

Standing on the edge of the ghost ship, Fengli pondered, "According to what Lord Seimei once said, the ocean in this world is more than ten times larger than the oceans we knew before. It is an enormous ocean, incredibly terrifying and vast!"

"I see!"

Yun nodded in agreement, but couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "This ocean! It's truly amazing! It lets the entire ocean witness the power of Suzuka Mountain, and lets the entire ocean feel just how powerful Suzuka Mountain is!"

"That's right!"

"That's right!"

Both Suzuka and Hana nodded firmly, while Yan, as if speaking with unwavering conviction, said, "Even so, we still need to be vigilant. This sea is very powerful, and Lord Ōtakemaru, Lord Uminari, Lord Kyūjō, and all the other lords are not here. Therefore, we must be even more cautious and absolutely cannot embarrass Lady Suzuka..."

"Ok!"

The Seven Gorges all nodded seriously. The sea monsters of the Sea Kingdom are actually very violent monsters. They are actually quite good to each other internally, and they are like family to each other. But they are completely different from the outside world. They are like a group of terrifying madmen, ready to kill. Because of this, they have long been prepared for war. But because of this, they cannot afford to lose face!

joke!

They are all citizens of the Sea Kingdom, of Suzuka Mountain! How shameful it would be to act like this! It would be like a joke! That's why we must be firmly prepared in this matter; we absolutely cannot afford to lose face.

"Hmm~"

Fengli nodded and said, "In that case, I'll explain it to you. The general division of this world starts with the World Government..."

As the raccoon explained, the Seven Valleys also learned about it seriously. On the other side, Suzuka Gozen assessed the strength of the yokai of Suzuka Mountain and concluded that their overall strength was only about one-tenth of their peak strength, and they were nowhere near their peak strength. In other words, they all needed to be on guard.

"Ok!"

Suzuka Gozen nodded after a moment's thought and said, "Everyone, pay attention to this: your strength is only one-tenth of what it was in your prime. You must train hard or obtain energy called Devil Fruits to recover. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Each siren responded solemnly to Suzuka Gozen. They were well aware of their weakness, and since they were aware of it, they couldn't just fight like fools. Instead, they had to make other preparations. Just like in the Seven Valleys, they also had to train more diligently. Otherwise, if they didn't even have the strength of their peak, it would be very embarrassing.

honestly!

At its peak, the Sea Kingdom's fighting power was like that of a madman. With the blessing of Hai Ming's magic and their fearless spirit in the face of death for their homeland, they actually managed to storm the entire Heian-kyo, including the five major forces surrounding Heian-kyo. Because of this, the strength of the entire Sea Kingdom was terrifying.

In fact, the strength of the Sea Kingdom is truly formidable. If we consider the Sea Kingdom at its peak under the leadership of Suzuka Gozen, it would undoubtedly surpass other powerful nations like Arakawa, and be a force to be reckoned with against Mount Oe. Of course, it would still be somewhat inferior to the most powerful Tengu clan, Mount Tengu, and that much is undeniable.

Regardless of the truth, the strength of the Sea Kingdom is undoubtedly formidable. Just as Suzuka Gozen was carefully studying the next route, Yun from the Seven Valleys approached quickly and said, "Lady Suzuka Gozen, we rescued a special race under the ghost ship. According to Lord Fuuri, it should be the fish-men. Would you like to go and take a look?"

"Fish-men?"

Suzuka Gozen was slightly taken aback.

Chapter 122: Suzuka Gozen's Encounter with the Whitebeard Pirates Leads to the Destruction of CP9

Hatchinos!

With the fall of the Rocks Pirates, this pirate island seems to have lost its importance to the world. However, it holds a unique place in the hearts of pirates. Almost every pirate who comes to the New World wants to enter Hatchinos, just as they respect Roger for Loguetown. Similarly, various pirate crews have always been vying for control of Hatchinos.

only.

Because the difference in strength between the two sides was not significant, the outcome was almost never decided.

"Master Harumi!"

"Ok!"

White Wolf strode over, and Seimei nodded, saying, "I can already sense it. That familiar aura! Whitebeard, Edward Newgate! The Moby Dick!"

As the White Wolf spoke, Seimei looked at the pirate ship that gradually emerged in the distance, resembling a whale, with a very calm expression in his eyes. The Moby Dick, this pirate ship that resembled a whale, was the pirate ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, and one of the symbols of the Whitebeard Pirates in the world.

"Gulala~~~"

As the loud laughter rang out, the voice belonged to Edward Newgate, the man known as Whitebeard on the high seas. He grinned, a ferocious look on his face, and held the Murakumogiri sword, looking arrogantly at Seimei, saying, "I was still curious about this ship! What kind of ship is it? I didn't expect it to be Seimei's pirate ship."

"Huh, 22?!"

"Pirate ship?"

Seimei smiled and shook his head, saying, "Whitebeard, I am no longer a pirate. This ship! You can call it a ghost ship, but calling it a pirate ship is indeed not quite appropriate."

"You're not planning to be a pirate anymore?"

Edward's sharp eyes were fixed on Seimei, who maintained a smile throughout. Indeed! For him, there was no longer any need to be a pirate, or rather, he was no longer a pirate. Even the Navy had never increased his bounty, which proved everything. In the Navy's eyes, Seimei was no longer a pirate. Moreover, given Wano Country's current status on the seas, causing trouble would be a bad thing.

"Humph!"

Edward grinned and said, "Seimei, you think you can just stop being a pirate? It's not that easy. Once you're a pirate, you're a pirate for life! It's not that easy to wash away that identity."

"Ok!"

Seimei nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, if you're a pirate, you'll almost always be a pirate. But for me, it doesn't really matter. Whether I'm a pirate or not, as long as no one dares to say such things again, that's enough. On this sea, I am the king of Wano Country. Who would call me a pirate?"

Edward said with interest, "Seimei, you seem to really hate being a pirate?"

Seimei shook his head and said, "It's not that I hate the identity of a pirate! Well, it's just that there are some differences. Pirates face many troublesome things on the high seas, especially for the future development of Wano Country. This matter is quite troublesome."

"..."

Edward remained calm, and although he didn't speak, his eyes were sharp enough that he clearly knew exactly what had happened. This matter was beyond doubt.

indeed!

Pirates certainly don't have much status on the high seas, that's an undeniable fact. No matter what, you have to admit it. To the major powers on the high seas, pirates are just peasants, and they're not even worth a second glance.

"never mind!"

Edward shook his head and said casually, "I'm too lazy to bother with a brat like you, but! Seimei, aren't you planning to start a war today?"

Seimei smiled and shook his head, saying, "No interest! The benefits of taking action against you are not high. Moreover, the people I brought this time are not capable of destroying your Whitebeard Pirates. Even if they did, it would be a case of injuring the enemy a thousand while losing nine hundred of our own, which is truly meaningless to me."
