Chapter 1187 The Four Kings of the New Era
During the two years, the situation in the New World did not change much.
The Storm Pirates officially rose to become a powerful overlord-class pirate group.
The strength of "Storm" Sagros Atarga should not be underestimated. Although he is young, only twenty-six years old, he possesses very terrifying combat power.
Faced with the recruitment of the Flying Pirates, Etarga refused without hesitation.
He did not participate in the Battle of the Golden Sea, which caused considerable trouble to Atargar, but all of them were defeated by him.
A truly strong person never cares about what others think.
The same is true for Etarga.
During this window period when all major forces are silent, the Storm Pirates have grown into a new force that has the potential to impact the New World and become the emperor.
Likewise, the Red Hair Pirates have also risen in the past two years and become a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
Just like the Storm Pirates, all of their members are elite.
The momentum of its rise is unstoppable, and it becomes more terrifying after every battle.
Even if they clash with other overlord-level pirate groups, they will not be at a disadvantage, can escape unscathed, and even have the advantage.
However, the Storm Pirates, like the Red Hair Pirates, do not seek hegemony. They have several islands in the New World as their territory, many of which are used as strongholds or are guarded by affiliated pirate groups.
This results in them having less trouble and avoiding conflicts of interest with other powerful forces.
Similarly, other forces are unwilling to provoke them easily. No matter which pirate group it is, their strength should not be underestimated.
Moreover, Etarga and Shanks, who are also non-Devil Fruit users, are quite famous in the sea.
Relying on his own strength, he established himself in this new world full of monsters and people with special abilities.
Since Wang Zhi's death in battle, there are no longer any pure non-Devil Fruit users among the truly top pirates in the New World.
The rise of Etarga and Shanks has undoubtedly been expected by many people.
After all, those with special abilities are a minority, and those with top-level devil fruit abilities are even rarer.
Today, the "Black Emperor" Marshall D. Teach.
"Red Hair" Shanks.
Zagros "Storm" Atarga.
Gallagher Carr, the Spider King.
These four young monsters, who are not much different in age, have begun to be called the four kings of the new era.
The same is true among the people.
Perhaps "Black Emperor" Teach will rise faster, become stronger, and have greater influence.
However, not many people in the society actually know this.
Teach has not yet become emperor, which means that in the eyes of many people, his status in the New World is still lower than that of the Sea Emperor.
This thing was invented by Morgans.
To some extent, the status of Gallagher Carr, Shanks and Etarga were elevated by virtue of Teach's fame.
No matter what the parties involved think, the matter is done. In the new world that has returned to peace, the newly emerged monsters have attracted much attention.
Naturally it became a consensus.
This is also a distinction from the old big pirates in the past.
Compared with today's sea emperors, the four kings of the new era can be said to be two eras apart from them.
Today, the sea is still ruled by the Rocks Pirates, and the current sea emperors are all remnants of the Rocks Pirates.
The shadow of the Rocks Pirates still covers the entire ocean.
The impact is too great.
The war in these years can also be said to be a continuation of the war between the World Government and the Rocks Pirates.
It has to be said that the World Government might also be secretly pushing for this, trying to stimulate internal division among the pirates.
However, the goal was not achieved.
The Storm Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates did not participate in the fight for hegemony.
"Spider Emperor" Carl is deeply involved in underground forces and is not even considered a pirate.
The Black Emperor Pirates, the only group participating in the fight for supremacy, have already demonstrated their terrifying power.
"Moonlight" Moria was directly excluded.
He is already not young, only a few years younger than Kaido. He became famous in the West Sea early on and has the name of "hero".
However, they did not really go out to sea until after Roger was executed and the Great Pirate Era began.
This also shows that Morgans is not optimistic about Moria and does not think Moria is qualified to become emperor.
Although they lacked strength and showed no dominance, the Pirate Group was strong enough thanks to the corpses of many monsters.
However, this ability was naturally countered by Charlotte Lingling.
Lingling can transform these corpses into Homies at any time.
This is also the main reason why the Moonlight Pirates dare not conflict with the Big Mom Pirates.
This path is not the right way after all. In Morgans's opinion, Moria has reached his limit.
Even if you have a lot of corpses, it will be useless if you don't have enough strength.
Lingling is very scary now, and can even use this opportunity to threaten Moria if Moria doesn't want to lose everything he has.
With such a defect, how could Moria be qualified to be the emperor of the sea?
What Morgans didn't say was that Moriah had desecrated the bodies of the Celestial Dragons, and the World Government would sooner or later take action against him.
Just like the dry bones in the tomb, the seeds of destruction have already been planted.
Like the four kings of the new era that he arranged, all of them have the potential to become emperors. They are young and have terrifying strength.
Teach needs no further explanation.
"Spider Emperor" Gallagher Carr, who has reached the top of the Sky Arena at a young age, also possesses a top-level mythical beast devil fruit.
The battle with "Hundred Beasts" Kaido also showed his terrifying fighting power. After a few years, Carl has become even more terrifying.
Although "Storm" Etarga and "Red Hair" Shanks are not people with special abilities, they have extraordinary backgrounds.
This is no secret to the World Economic News Agency.
When he found out this information, Morgans was a little shocked.
"Storm" Etarga comes from the "Ten Thousand Snakes" and was cultivated by the "Hades Serpent" Mobius.
Relying on powerful intelligence capabilities, they even found out Atalga's birthplace and learned about Atalga's innate special abilities. Combining this with the existing intelligence, they were able to infer it.
Etarga possesses terrifying domineering aura and is a natural king.
Of course, it could also be the power of Observation Haki, but Morgans determined it to be the power of Conqueror's Haki.
In order to explore this secret, he has personally taken action, and his abilities are different from those of "Pirate King" Roger.
There is another natural king on the sea.
That is Katakuri, the son of Charlotte Linlin and the second-in-command of the Big Mom Pirates.
Katakuri is powerful enough, but the more special Etarga has even more terrifying potential.
One can imagine how great a shock the sea was when all this was exposed.
In a sense, Etarga is a disciple of the "Hades Serpent" Mobius.
And Mobius, as the son of Hades, defeated Whitebeard and undoubtedly became one of the legends of the sea.
Having "Ten Thousand Snakes" as a background is also an important support for Atarga.
And "Red Hair" Shanks' status is equally important.
Multiple pieces of evidence indicate that Shanks was born in the Roger Pirates and was a trainee crew member of the Roger Pirates.
He has been traveling around the world with Roger's pirate group since he was a child.
Many people on the sea knew of Shanks' existence, but they didn't pay too much attention to it.
When the World Government was madly targeting the Roger Pirates, the Roger Pirates were the main focus of the World Economic News Agency.
When Shanks was not so famous, the World Economic News Agency did not care.
Even though it became a supernova, the main focus of the World Economic News Agency was distracted by other major events on the ocean.
Afterwards, Shanks led the Red Hair Pirates to practice in seclusion, and after no news was heard from them, they were naturally forgotten.
According to the World Economic News Agency, "Red Hair" Shanks inherited the swordsmanship of "Pirate King" Roger and his second-in-command Rayleigh.
This conclusion was reached by comparing Shanks' battle video with Roger and Rayleigh's battle video during the first Kendo Tournament.
Especially the iconic "God's Bane", which has been reproduced many times in Shanks' hands.
You know, this move of "Pirate King" Roger is well-known to everyone and is a symbol of Roger.
Evidence from all sides shows that "Red Hair" Shanks is the successor of "Pirate King" Roger.
The Rocks Pirates still have a terrifying influence to this day.
Not to mention the Roger Pirates who are even closer.
Just like "Storm" Etarga received the blessing of "Ten Thousand Snakes", "Red Hair" Shanks also received the blessing of Roger's Pirate Group.
This has invisibly elevated their status and increased the world's expectations of them.
This is a good thing and a bad thing.
More pirates want to use them as stepping stones and cause trouble for them.
Morganus did not just say the four kings of the new era casually, but had given it careful consideration.
