On the day the war ended, the World Government announced the results of the war, but the focus they mentioned was not Whitebeard's deathbed declaration, or describing the strength of a certain pirate. Their focus has always been that Whitebeard is dead. .
The death of Whitebeard means the end of a legendary pirate, and means that there will no longer be a monster named Whitebeard on the sea.
Anyone with some knowledge knows what the death of Whitebeard will lead to, but ordinary people are different. They will only celebrate this "victory" belonging to the navy.
The truth was gradually reduced as the news was delivered, and by the end, the news people received was completely different from the true situation of the war.
The Navy won and Whitebeard died. This is the only understanding most people have.
As for the episodes in the war, such as the large number of prisoners in Impel Down that escaped from prison, the departure of Whitebeard's remnants, and the large number of casualties in the navy, these news were gradually forgotten under the auspices of the World Government.
After all, pirates are a group who live by robbery. There are only a handful of pirates who can reach the position of emperor of the sea and establish their own maritime empire.
And these guys who are not engaged in production but only robbing are also the objects of disgust among the people.
Even if Whitebeard used his own power to protect a large number of islands, in the eyes of others, he was no different from those pirates who only robbed homes.
【Very good! Whitebeard is finally dead! 】
[Now peace can be restored to the sea. Let’s have a banquet. I’ll pay for today’s drinks! 】
They were excited about the results of the war they received, and spent a beautiful day in their hearts in a festive way, having fun and imagining the future, but this joy lasted only a short time.
What the ordinary people saw was the death of Whitebeard, but those who were already ambitious were paying attention to the mysterious treasure.
Whitebeard personally confirmed the existence of the great secret treasure, which made countless pirates crazy about it.
In order to snatch the big secret treasure, more people chose to go to sea, and the first ones to bear the brunt were the people who were celebrating just now.
The war at the top mobilized elite navies from all over the world, including a few capable generals from the navies of the four seas.
Before these generals returned to their bases, the navy's deterrent power plummeted. Facing countless new pirates, the navy could only attack frequently to attack these newly emerged pirates.
The dispatch rooms of various branches were almost in a state of continuous rotation. Just after dealing with a group of pirates, a new alarm sound reached their ears.
The seas all over the world are busy because of these newly emerged pirates, not to mention the New World. The territory of the Whitebeard Pirates has already fallen into chaos.
Whitebeard originally occupied a large part of the New World's territory, but in order to rescue Ace, it can be said that all members of the Whitebeard Pirates were mobilized.
The sixteen divisions of the team were unreserved, and all the affiliated pirate groups were dispatched, leaving very few people to guard them.
This leads to the fact that when Jack and Olga are fighting for territory, what limits them is not the enemy's strength, but the distance.
Many islands in the New World have become accustomed to living under the protection of the pirate flag, so Jack and Olga's job is very simple. Find an island, convince the island's administrator, plant their own flag, and leave a few people behind. Once the individual is stationed, head to the next place.
The issue of island management will be arranged in the follow-up. Their task is to staking the territory and win it first.
As for how to manage the island, someone else will take care of it later.
It's okay to let Jack control the territory, but letting him manage new islands is really embarrassing people.
Even if the cadres of the Beasts began to divide their forces after entering Whitebeard's territory, the large number of islands restricted their steps. Even if the war above was over, their mission was not over.
"Brother Jack! Governor Kaido has sent a new order, asking you to return to Onigashima to hold a banquet after completing your mission."
"I understand. Brother Kaido is indeed the strongest. Sipshead, Jinrami, you two are responsible for the islands here. I will occupy the nearby islands and then end our mission."
"yes!"
The beasts have occupied a lot of territory that originally belonged to Whitebeard. According to the battle situation reported back by Olga not long ago, the newly occupied territory is now close to the processing limit of the beasts.
For them, it is not difficult to secure this territory, and it is not difficult to just hang up the flag and collect protection fees, but to manage this island well, a lot of energy and manpower must be invested, and handling the limit also refers to this aspect.
With the new order, Jack also planned to return after occupying the nearby islands. Only a few people were left to garrison, and Jack's Steel Mammoth continued to sail to the sea ahead.
And here, the flag belonging to Whitebeard has been collected by the residents of the island. Whitebeard is very popular in his territory, and most people are very grateful for the protection brought by his flag.
Even though Whitebeard was dead, this situation did not change immediately.
The pirates of the Hundred Beasts did not insult the flag. Even Kaido recognized Whitebeard's strength, so they would naturally not do such meaningless things.
But in the eyes of some island residents, Sipshead could see an expression of reluctance.
When Jack and the others first arrived on the island, these people also resisted, but they were easily defeated.
"Don't be dissatisfied. In a few days, you will be glad that our flag is hanging here. Do you think you can defend this island with your three-legged cat ability?
This is a new world. Without us, there will be other pirates. If it were another pirate group, their methods would not be as gentle as ours. "
Sipshead fiddled with a piece of ore in his hand, which was one of the reasons why they occupied the island.
Islands that do not have sufficient interest value are not in the priority occupation sequence of the beasts, unless the geographical location of the island is very critical. Failure to occupy it may cause other territories to become enclaves.
"You give us resources and we protect your safety. Everything will be the same as before, and you can even live better.
Time will tell, or you can try to see if you can beat us. "
While crushing the ore in his hand with one hand and giving a pie to the residents in front of him, Sipshead also showed off his force again.
In fact, what he said is correct. Islands in the New World that are unable to protect themselves usually end badly, such as Jack's destination.
Due to its location, he arrived at the island a few days later. When he landed, the originally peaceful island had already become dilapidated, the houses were set alight by flames, and the sound of crying spread outward in the sea of fire.
