LRAB Chapter 157 The Storm Is Coming
Chapter 157 The Storm Is Coming
Time flies, and summer has arrived in the blink of an eye. The sun shines brightly on the sea, and the shimmering waves add a touch of joy to this vast ocean, bringing even more lively fun.
At this point, there were only two days left before Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu planned to establish the Hunter's Guild.
Over the past month, many fascinating and little-known stories have unfolded on the high seas.
Morgans's propaganda skills were unparalleled. Through his dissemination, the news that Minos and the Shadow King were going to establish the "Hunter's Guild" on the island of Serbia, the former territory of the Red-Haired Pirates, instantly became a bombshell, creating a huge uproar across the entire sea.
The people of the New World were still reeling from the epic battle between Cheng Xiaoyu and the Red-Haired Pirates, and the fierce clash between Minos and the Whitebeard Pirates.
Before anyone could fully process this news, the bombshell announcement of the "Hunter's Guild" by the Fifth Emperor Minos and the Shadow King came one after another, catching everyone off guard.
In an instant, various opinions exploded in the New World and even the entire world.
Half the people were cheering and jumping for joy. The Fifth Emperor Minos was finally going to establish his own power, which was undoubtedly a signal that a major change was about to take place on the sea.
After the news spread, the pirates in the New World were in an uproar, and the pirates of the four seas were also restless. They were full of longing and wanted to join the "Hunter's Guild" of the Fifth Emperor Minos.
This news was like a hurricane, blowing out all the pirates who had been hiding in the shadows across the four seas. They couldn't wait to head to the New World, eager to witness the splendor of Minos and the Shadow King.
Amidst this surge of pirates, a special figure emerged in the East Blue: Ace, Luffy's older brother, the "chosen one."
With Luffy and the others as witnesses, Ace set sail from Windmill Town in the East Blue, officially embarking on his pirate journey.
The sudden emergence of a large number of pirates in the East Blue has caused headaches for the high-ranking officers of the Navy Headquarters.
On one hand, they have to deal with the chaos caused by the conflict between the top royal crews in the New World, and on the other hand, they have to be on guard against pirates that suddenly appear in all parts of the world and the Grand Line.
Given the dire situation, the Navy Headquarters made an emergency deployment: "Dispatch Sakazuki and Aokiji, along with several Vice Admirals including Chaton, to guard the New World in case of a sudden riot."
"Kizaru, Garp, and the others stayed in Marineford to secure the rear."
"As for the Four Seas region, we will dispatch major generals and colonels to prepare for the direct suppression of pirates."
However, not only are pirates active in the four seas, but the situation in the New World is also complex.
Some pirates felt that the Red-Haired Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates were no longer worthy of being called the Five Emperors, so they began to provoke them.
The Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates were naturally furious at these overconfident provocations.
Whitebeard casually swung his hand, unleashing a powerful and imposing attack; Shanks's divine evasion was even more exquisite, and the two easily suppressed these arrogant pirates.
The other pirates, witnessing the formidable power displayed by Whitebeard and Shanks, were filled with resentment but had no choice but to give up.
Meanwhile, many pirates, having heard about the "Hunter's Guild," came to the island of Serbia, hoping to join.
But Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu completely disregarded them, not even bothering to acknowledge them. They had no intention of recruiting subordinates casually; in their eyes, these pirates were nothing more than a group of worthless people.
Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu's attitude naturally provoked strong dissatisfaction from the pirates who came seeking to join. They all cursed, "What the hell? It's just a Hunter's Guild, how dare they be so arrogant? We don't even want to join!"
"That's right! We'll spread this word later and see how they manage to recruit pirates!"
"Then let's see if they still dare to be so arrogant. They're simply outrageous!"
Thus, spread by these disgruntled pirates, the news that the Fifth Emperor Minos and the Shadow King looked down on people quickly stirred up another storm of public opinion on the sea.
The Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates were secretly pleased when they learned of this, as they thought Minos and the Shadow King were far too arrogant and utterly foolish.
They actually refused to accept people who offered themselves up; this is simply self-destructive.
Cominos and Cheng Xiaoyu paid no attention to the outside world's discussions and continued to do as they pleased.
After all, they never intended to have a large number of subordinates in the first place.
However, something even more frustrating happened. The pirates were unwilling to give up so easily.
They actually managed to gather many wandering pirates on the high seas, as well as some pirates who were struggling to survive between the various royal crews, and together they went to the island of Serbia to cause trouble.
They made outrageous statements, claiming they would refuse to leave if they weren't allowed to join the "Hunter's Guild," attempting to threaten Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu with this.
At first, Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu ignored these farces, but the pirates became increasingly brazen and went too far.
"What? You dare threaten me, King Minos?" Minos roared.
"Hmph, you still dare to play this moral blackmail trick?" Cheng Xiaoyu sneered repeatedly.
In this situation, Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu appeared in front of the group of troublemaking pirates.
Seeing this, the pirates thought their plan had succeeded, and they all snorted coldly, thinking to themselves, "Why didn't they just come out to greet us earlier? Why did they have to make such a scene? We'll all be working together in the future, how embarrassing."
Their arrogance stemmed from the fact that Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu had no subordinates, which they saw as an opportunity. However, they were unaware that Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu had no intention of having any subordinates at all.
Just as the pirates were getting carried away with their smugness, Minos made his move. He unleashed several punches in quick succession, seemingly ordinary yet containing terrifying power, and the pirates instantly died like bubbles.
Minos deliberately preserved their corpses, while Cheng Xiaoyu used his abilities to successfully transform them into shadow soldiers.
Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu's powerful attacks, especially their terrifying shadow extraction skill, terrified those watching from the shadows.
And so, a not-so-big but still quite a big deal was calmed down.
To Minos's delight, he eliminated approximately 1000 pirates in this operation.
These pirates vary greatly in strength. According to the system notification, killing a pirate will earn you at least 20 kill points.
The highest kill value was over 5000, and there were a total of 5 pirates with such a high kill value.
After this series of actions, Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu reaped a great harvest, as if they had picked up a huge fortune for free. How could they not be happy?
However, Minos used these kill points to do some things in secret. (⌒▽⌒)
