After all, they had no contact with the outside world and lived a self-sufficient life. No matter how many pirates there were, it wouldn't affect them unless someone came knocking on their door.
Among such countries, Wano Country is the most unique.
Buried beneath the island is Pluto, one of the ancient weapons. The country adheres to a policy of isolation and has a number of powerful warriors. The World Government does not have much interest in this country.
They only contacted them in a special way, trading seastone with them.
After a long time, Absalom finally returned to Wano Country, which he had longed for.
The seas did not settle down, but in just one year, the new world achieved a relatively stable situation.
After Roger revealed his last words, the New World, which is far from Laugh Tale, was thrown into chaos as everyone tried to take advantage of their position to be the first to seize the One Piece.
However, the New World is also the place with the greatest disparity in strength. People who are powerful and influential in Paradise may not even be able to withstand a normal attack from others in the New World.
The real monsters quickly demonstrated to them the true extent of the gap in strength.
Whitebeard defended his strongest power, with Charlotte Linlin and Wang Zhi following closely behind, all expanding their territories and delivering brutal blows to any hotheads who challenged their authority, bringing temporary peace to the New World.
At least now most people in the new world know who they shouldn't mess with.
Not long ago, Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, challenged Whitebeard Edward Newgate and was ultimately defeated.
According to sources, Crocodile was completely helpless against Whitebeard and was severely injured by Whitebeard before leaving the New World.
However, no one thought he was weak. On the contrary, they felt that it was already quite an achievement that he had managed to challenge the world's strongest man, only to lose one hand and still leave alive.
"Crocodile is quite strong; he managed to survive after provoking Whitebeard."
In a sense, this can be seen as an acknowledgment of Crocodile's strength, although Crocodile himself would be very angry because of such words.
Crocodile saw such remarks as nothing more than sarcasm.
As for whether Whitebeard actually held back, only the two people involved know the answer.
"The air quality here has deteriorated quite a bit."
The Ghost Island has been completed, and from here Abu Salom can see several large, bright chimneys continuously emitting black smoke.
This is Orochi's plan: to join forces with Kaido to persecute this place, while Kaido also wants to turn it into a weapons factory. The unfortunate ones are still the ordinary people.
However, this has little impact on Absalom, who has a low moral compass but is determined to complete all tasks because of his loyalty to Oran.
If Zack were here, he would probably be very unhappy.
Absalom requested to come here, and so did the beasts; they needed a technical advisor.
The number of potions sold increased slightly afterward. Currently, Kaido's subordinates have gathered together the orcs who gained enhanced abilities through the use of beast transformation potions and formed a legion called the Gifters.
Of these, 35 people received second-generation drugs and 0 people received third-generation drugs.
Two years ago, Kaido purchased the third-generation serum, but due to their lack of willpower, none of these people were able to successfully undergo the modification.
This is the current state of the Beasts Pirates; their strength is severely fragmented.
Aside from Kaido and King, Queen can only be considered half a strongman; among the rest, there are really no strongmen who are qualified enough.
As for Jack the Drought, he's only a five-year-old child, and nobody knows where he is.
The standards for using the third-generation drug are quite high, and Kaido is finding it difficult to find a suitable candidate for the time being.
Later, in pursuit of greater numbers, Kaido temporarily abandoned the third-generation potion and instead purchased more second-generation potions, eventually assembling this elite squad of over thirty people.
However, Kaido did not give up on the more powerful version of the third-generation potion. This year, with the sea relatively stable, he offered more money to Oran to send a technical instructor.
Taking into account Absalom's own opinion, he finally arrived in Wano Country in high spirits.
"These are the eight second-generation drugs for this year, and two third-generation drugs as well."
Absalom handed the prepared potion to Quinn.
Due to issues with raw materials and adjustments to technology, production output will fluctuate to some extent; this is the official wording.
But Quinn knew perfectly well that the so-called problem was probably just Oran rolling the dice on a whim, deciding how many to build in the end.
As for how Quinn knew, he had personally witnessed how Oran allocated funds for Caesar.
A twenty-sided die randomly determines what percentage Caesar will receive, and this die includes the number 0.
However, according to Oran, "I was already being quite polite by not using a die with 20 sides all zeros."
"Yes, the goods are fine, and the Seastone is ready. You can take it after you've had your fun for a few days. Let me tell you, things are quite something in the Flower Street area."
Quinn leaned close to Absalom's ear and whispered, both of them wearing lewd smiles; in this respect, they were birds of a feather.
"By the way, I heard that Oran created a robot and even replicated that Golden Lion guy?"
"Yes, have you heard about it here too?"
"Isn't that obvious? Although this place is closed off from the world, we still have channels to contact the outside world. Oran is indeed planning something big; he probably already has the ability to build more."
"Mr. Quinn, this is our secret."
"I know I'm just talking to myself. You don't need to answer. Let's get down to business."
"Babanuki, Holmd, come here!"
The second-generation potion users were already very familiar with how to use the Beastmen, and in terms of the third-generation potion, Absalom was still the only successful example. Apart from Oran, he had absolute authority to speak on the matter.
"They both decided to undergo the third-generation drug treatment, and their willpower is among the strongest we have. You can handle the rest."
Queen was telling the truth. Kaido had specifically recruited volunteers in advance and tested them with Conqueror's Haki before deciding to let the two people who had persisted the longest try the third-generation potion.
"I'm fine, but what's going on over there? I feel like someone's spying on me."
"Oh, she's Kaido's daughter. Don't worry about her, you can continue."
