Chapter 114: Reactions from All Sides
"Our strength is really pathetic. We can't even handle these small pirate crews—we even needed Senior Wind God Pterosaur to step in."
Buck spoke in a discouraged tone.
If Jiang Qize had heard that, he would've slapped him on the spot. With strength like yours, you dare call them eighty-million pirates?
"We just have to work harder from now on."
Aisha held his hand firmly.
"Mm." Buck looked at her with tender affection and nodded.
Cammon curled his lip. Seriously? Even now they're feeding us dog food?
"All right, we still haven't finished what the captain told us to do," Robin said.
"Yeah, we better get it done quickly."
"Let's move. Senior Wind God, could you help us get these bodies on board? They're all treasures for the captain."
"Roar~"
The Wind God Pterosaur let out a call.
Then Cammon and the others headed inside.
Half an hour later.
Figures began appearing around the harbor, which had already been reduced to ruins.
When they saw the scene, each person was shaken and terrified.
"So this is the Dragonflame Pirates' strength? Too horrifying."
"Thank god we didn't make a move… otherwise we wouldn't even have bodies left to find."
"That giant bird just now was massive—felt like it was as big as an island."
"I heard the Dragonflame Pirates even have a giant. And he didn't even take action this time."
"And supposedly there's a sea beast even bigger than that giant bird."
The crowd whispered among themselves. One look at the enormous Golden Dragon battleship out on the sea, and all their other thoughts vanished—staying alive mattered far more.
Among them, a man in a suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a den-den mushi perched on his shoulder and a neat cropped haircut, closed his notebook. He cast a faint glance toward the Dragonflame before turning away and disappearing.
…
Time passed quickly.
The events involving the Dragonflame Pirates in Jaya Town spread across the seas through the newspapers.
They caused quite a stir.
New World, Cake Island.
"This ship is good. The BIG MOM Pirates will take it. Katakuri, go bring it back."
Inside a massive cake castle, a towering figure spoke from the high seat, voice rumbling.
"Yes, Mama."
Below her, a tall man with amaranth-colored short hair, a burly frame, long legs, and stitched scars on both cheeks—his arms covered in tattoos, a white ruffled scarf around his neck like a flower—responded before turning to leave.
…
Wano Country.
Beasts Pirates.
"The Dragonflame Pirates aren't bad. They can join the Beasts Pirates."
On a huge throne made of bones, Kaido took a drink. Liquor dripped from the corner of his mouth as a massive grin stretched across his face.
"Captain, I'll go capture them. Once I bring them in, they'll definitely obey the Beasts Pirates."
A tall man—helmeted with a mask and goggles, dressed head to toe in black with gloves, black wings on his back, a sword at his waist, flames coiling around him—spoke up.
"Go. If they don't join, kill them all and bring the ship back."
Kaido drank, smiling menacingly.
"Yes!"
…
On a nameless island in the New World.
"Hahaha! Captain, looks like this kid's about your age!"
A loud laugh rang out through a forest, scattering the birds.
On the rocks and tree trunks, men sat or reclined, eating meat and drinking.
At the center of the group, a man with red hair and three long scars over his left eye was drinking.
