The Beasts Pirates continuously developed and grew stronger, with several of their major cadres embarking on expeditions, intimidating neighboring countries, and establishing subordinate alliances. Binjack was responsible for managing all the details of these matters.
As the Pirate Governor and Captain of the Grand Fleet, Kaido only provided the general direction and plans for everyone.
As for the specific processes and methods, Kaido delegated authority to his subordinates, only demanding results.
In a short time, surrounding nations submitted one after another, paying regular protection fees annually to seek the Beasts Pirates' protection.
The turbulent and chaotic era in the New World, brought about by Rocks' demise, finally showed a glimmer of peace and stability.
Only a greater evil could subdue the evil and turmoil on this vast sea.
How ironic.
Grand Line, a certain valley.
A boat was docked in the bay, and a man with bare arms and a large axe on his back jumped down.
He had a 'fierce' character and a cat's paw print tattooed on his chest, and wore a cape. He was Silver Axe, the sole survivor of the Worst Generation Pirate Alliance from two years ago.
To be honest, he was also astonished by the combat power Kaido displayed back then. That absolute suppressive force reminded him of the man who intended to become the King of the World, Rocks D. Xebec.
Although various world powerhouses gathered under him for different reasons, often complaining and clashing with Rocks, it was precisely Rocks' indifferent personality and unrestrained ambition that allowed him to gather a large number of monsters in a short time.
"I didn't expect that kid to be so strong already?"
Silver Axe couldn't help but think to himself. Indeed, Kaido had displayed terrifying monstrous strength and a tough physique when he joined Rocks, but in a death match, he was still a step behind them.
However, things had changed.
The former sapling had grown into a towering tree.
He had become an existence that even the Marine could not ignore.
"When Kaido lost to him in the God Valley Incident, we shouldn't have underestimated him."
Silver Axe sighed. That day, the island collapsed, and Silver Axe fell into the sea. When he woke up, he was in a poor small town.
Later, he learned from the newspaper that Gan Zhui had also died.
"How could the Worst Generation Pirate Alliance just disappear like that?"
Silver Axe looked up at the sky in exasperation, a hint of a desire to retire rising in his heart. But then he thought of his arch-rival Shiki, who was currently thriving, and he became furious.
So Silver Axe began his journey to find companions again. His first target was Babel the Fishman, who had disappeared after the God Valley Incident.
The area of the ocean in this world is far greater than that of the land, and Babel the Fishman has absolute say in the ocean.
Soon, Silver Axe found Babel the Fishman doing farm work in the deep valley of the island, near the swamp.
Babel was a catfish Fishman, burly and close to the Giant Race in size, with hair like flames, and Buddhist beads around his neck.
The moment he saw Silver Axe, Babel was startled: "Silver Axe, what are you doing here?"
Silver Axe looked at Babel, his sunglasses seemingly glowing: "Hey, Babel, let's turn this world upside down again together!"
Babel looked at Silver Axe with an idiotic expression: "And then get wiped out by Kaido again, just like the Worst Generation Pirate Alliance? Don't mess around, Silver Axe. I finally managed to live a stable life. Before, I joined the Rocks Pirates because of Rocks' personal charisma. Now, I just want to live peacefully."
The smile on Silver Axe's face disappeared: "Are you really content to watch others grow bigger and stronger?"
"That's better than losing my life, isn't it? These years with the Rocks Pirates, I've saved up a lot of money and bought this island. Now, I feel that this kind of life is very good."
Most people either couldn't afford the Heavenly Tribute for their kingdom and thus couldn't receive protection from the World Government, or they couldn't endure the oppression of the kingdom and constant hunger, so they ran to the sea and became pirates.
There were no lofty ideals; it was all just forced by circumstances.
Babel sighed and put down his hoe: "Our Fishman race has long been oppressed, playthings in the eyes of the World Nobles, and goods for human trafficking... Back then, Rocks told me he planned to build a New World, a world where all races could survive.
But, Silver Axe, even a power like the Rocks Pirates, which almost dominated this sea, ultimately lost to the World Government. What do you think we have to turn this world upside down?
I am already very content with my current life. At least it allows me to stay away from disputes and live with my family in a safe haven."
As he spoke, two Fishmen walked over, an adult female and a child.
Silver Axe was stunned, then let out a deep sigh. When he looked at Babel again, he smiled genuinely: "I can't believe five years have passed, and you already have your own family. Time really flies..."
Babel also smiled: "Yes, whether Rocks' plan succeeded or not back then, this is now the paradise I used to long for."
Babel picked up his child, his face beaming with a happy smile.
The child had inherited Babel's physique, already having the height of an adult human male, and was curiously looking at Silver Axe.
Silver Axe didn't speak, a stiff smile forced onto his face. He was actually very bad at dealing with kids.
"Dad, this uncle looks so fierce!"
"Fierce? Haha, Silver Axe, you've scared the child!"
"No, Babel, I..."
"What 'I'? Since you're here, why don't you have a drink before you go?"
Silver Axe was a bit at a loss, but it was a rare reunion with Babel. Since he couldn't invite Babel, he would just make him pay dearly for a meal!
"First, let me say, I won't drink if it's not good wine!"
"You're still the same, Silver Axe!"
The two laughed heartily, slinging their arms around each other's shoulders as they walked deeper into the valley.
However, what Silver Axe didn't know was that at this moment, on the sea outside the island, a Marine warship was sailing towards them.
A Marine Vice Admiral, wearing a Marine Justice cloak, had both hands in his pockets, one holding a newspaper and the other holding a cigarette: "Are you sure? Someone here found traces of Babel, formerly of the Rocks Pirates?"
The Marine Captain looked at Vice Admiral Zoy, a Four-Handed Race member, with a solemn expression: "Half a month ago, someone witnessed a Fishman appearing on this island. After photo comparison, it should indeed be Babel."
Vice Admiral Zoy gave a cold smile: "That's good. These remnants should have died in God Valley. I didn't expect them to all hide..."
"Give the order: full speed ahead for the warship, and land on the island before dark... Since this island is not within the scope of allied nations, let this island turn into a sea of fire!"
"Yes!"
The Marine Captain's heart trembled. He knew that Vice Admiral Zoy was not just talking; the justice he upheld was to completely eradicate all evil!
