Seeing this, the others had nothing left to say.
Since Kaido himself had respected him as the new Governor-General of the Beast Pirates.
The events that transpired today left them deeply shaken.
If word of today's events were to leak out, the entire world would likely be shaken to its core.
Since that man had inherited the position of Governor-General of the Beast Pirates, he naturally became one of the New World's new Four Emperors.
There were now only two of the old Four Emperors left.
One was Big Mom of the Big Mom Pirates.
The other was their old rival, Shanks of the Red Hair Pirates.
The new Four Emperors were Teach of the Blackbeard Pirates, and their Beast Pirates' new Governor-General, Lord Uchiha Ryōsuke.
After hearing Kaido's words, Black Maria immediately went to make arrangements.
She spread the news across the island so that everyone would know.
She also notified them that the official Governor-General power transfer ceremony would be held tomorrow.
This news sent all the pirates on the island into an uproar.
None of them could believe it.
They discussed it passionately.
"What? Lord Kaido is actually stepping down from the Governor-General position? This is absolutely absurd."
"It can't be helped. That mysterious man is simply too strong, and he made a pact with Lord Kaido. Whoever lost would become the Vice Governor-General."
"Unfortunately, Lord Kaido was defeated, so he is fulfilling his end of the bargain."
"Still, there's no need to worry too much. The new Governor-General is absurdly powerful. Perhaps our Beast Pirates can become the true overlords of the sea."
Basically all the pirates accepted the fact of Kaido's abdication.
Since none of the high-ranking officers came forward to object, and they even learned that Lord Kaido had done this willingly.
They had even less reason to oppose it.
In fact, they even hoped to further expand the Beast Pirates' influence under this lord's leadership.
This new Governor-General had the potential to become the next Pirate King after Roger.
That would make them the crew of the Pirate King. The mere thought of it made them so excited they couldn't sleep all night.
Such thoughts were very realistic; it was said that this man was far stronger than Kaido.
So, if they were to face the other Four Emperors—Shanks of the Red Hair Pirates, Big Mom of the Big Mom Pirates, and the newly ascended Teach of the Blackbeard Pirates...
It would likely be a completely one-sided crushing defeat.
Meanwhile, Ryōsuke had Yamato return early to rest.
Yamato had originally wanted to discuss how to save Wano Country with Ryōsuke.
Ryōsuke had already agreed and would naturally fulfill his promise.
Saving Wano Country was a breeze; he could crush Kurozumi Orochi with a single hand.
His subordinates could also easily wipe out Kurozumi Orochi's forces.
However, he was more interested in acquiring this country and bringing it under his own control.
Using force alone obviously wouldn't make the stubborn samurai of Wano Country submit.
Kaido's military might was already overwhelmingly strong compared to them, yet they had still stubbornly resisted for twenty years without yielding.
This was clear proof.
Ryōsuke actually quite admired their persistence.
Of course, Ryōsuke wouldn't just kill them all outright; he wasn't that evil.
So, the only viable method left was a political marriage.
He knew that Kozuki Hiyori was Kozuki Oden's daughter.
She was quite a beauty in her own right.
Currently, she was the number one beauty in Wano Country.
As long as he could marry her, making the Wano samurai submit and taking control of Wano Country wouldn't be a problem at all.
If she disagreed, Ryōsuke wouldn't care in the slightest.
There was nothing he wanted to do that he couldn't achieve.
Making her submit would be far too easy.
Right now, however, he was more interested in asking about the Straw Hat crew's situation. Where were they currently?
He looked at Ulti beside him.
"Ulti, where is the Straw Hat crew right now?"
Ulti couldn't understand why Lord Ryōsuke would ask her such a question.
However, she did read the newspaper occasionally and knew a bit about the situation.
"The Straw Hat crew crashed Big Mom's tea party on Whole Cake Island. They've got some serious guts. But it seems they managed to escape safely, and their current whereabouts are unknown."
A smile appeared on Ryōsuke's face.
"That is quite interesting. It seems they should be arriving in Wano Country soon."
Ulti frowned and asked.
"Lord Ryōsuke, how is that possible? How would they dare come here to cause trouble?"
After all, the Straw Hat crew had only managed to successfully wreak havoc on Whole Cake Island by using a scheme to make Big Mom lose control.
Otherwise, no matter how strong they were, they probably would have perished at Big Mom's hands, because Big Mom was a powerhouse in no way inferior to Kaido—a monster-like existence.
But thinking about it, it was actually possible.
After all, quite a few Supernovas from their generation had already been caught here.
There was Hawkins, Apoo, X Drake, and Kidd.
The first three had already submitted, and while that tough nut Kidd hadn't yielded, he had been locked up.
Even if the Straw Hat crew came, they would just meet the exact same fate.
Of course, that went without saying now. Before Lord Ryōsuke arrived, they might have had a chance to delude themselves.
Now that Lord Ryōsuke was at the helm of the Beast Pirates, Ulti felt that even entertaining the thought of challenging the Beast Pirates was excessive—it was pure delusion.
Even someone as strong as Kaido had suffered a miserable defeat at this lord's hands. To put it bluntly, he was no different from a weakling.
Ryōsuke naturally knew that the Straw Hat crew was probably preparing to come right now, though he didn't know how long it would take them to arrive. He was quite interested in Nami and Robin among them.
They would be perfect for bearing his children.
As for Luffy, he would entertain him properly.
He wouldn't go so far as to kill them.
But dealing them a blow was certainly doable.
This time, of course, the Beast Pirates would not lose.
Because there wouldn't even be a Beast Pirates anymore; he was going to reform the Beast Pirates at tomorrow's power transfer ceremony.
At this moment, Ulti suggested.
"Lord Ryōsuke, would you like your subordinate to take a few Tobi Roppo members and capture them?"
The Supernovas still had some worth, having defeated Doflamingo after all.
It would take at least a few Headliners to take them down.
Ryōsuke waved his hand and said.
"No need. There's no reason to go through so much trouble. If they find their way to Wano Country, I will receive them personally."
"You have a much more important task."
Ulti hadn't expected Lord Ryōsuke to place so much importance on this crew, but with Lord Ryōsuke acting personally, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they grew wings.
"I don't know what this more important task is, but I will complete it with all my might."
Ryōsuke said with a smile.
"To bear my children, of course."
Ulti's face instantly turned red.
She naturally knew that having children required doing *that* kind of thing.
She had never done it before, but she had heard that it made women act completely strange.
However, she was also very excited, because her partner was Lord Ryōsuke.
She was willing to dedicate everything to Lord Ryōsuke.
"My Lord, please let me serve you tonight."
After saying that, she took the initiative herself.
It was a sleepless night.
Ulti didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day, the flush on her face still not having faded.
Last night had been far too thrilling and pleasurable. She hadn't expected Lord Ryōsuke to be so delicious and so powerful, as if he possessed an endless supply of stamina.
