Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

"really!"

Ron glanced at Kaido: "However, I don't intend to let that weapon reappear."

Kaido's expression froze, and he frowned, saying in a deep voice, "Why? Wouldn't having such a powerful weapon increase our chances of winning? Why not use it?"

"There's no why, and besides, I don't need to explain everything to you, do I?"

Ron looked at Kaido with a slightly cold expression and said, "The second condition for the Beasts Pirates to participate in this war is that the Beasts Pirates and you must follow my command completely and obey my orders, right?"

"Order……"

A fierce glint and killing intent flashed in Kaido's eyes.

"I am Kaido of the Beasts! You think you can order me around?!"

His eyes glowed red, and the aura of a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea) emanated from him, making everyone present feel a powerful sense of oppression and intimidation.

Ron looked at him, his azure eyes slightly narrowed.

"Kaido, the one who decided this war... is me. Before you join this war, figure out your own stance!"

Finish this sentence.

A brilliant red light flashed in Ron's eyes.

An overwhelming aura emanated from him, directly dissipating the aura emanating from Kaido.

That was an aura of unparalleled power, a Conqueror's Haki even stronger than Kaido's!

The clash of the two Conqueror's Haki was earth-shattering, changing the color of the sky and the earth. The vast sea outside the island was also churned with towering waves. The remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Straw Hat crew were directly hit by the Conqueror's Haki, their eyes rolled back, they lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

Sensing the immense power and oppressive force of that Conqueror's Haki, Kaido stared with a grim expression at the young man before him, whose azure eyes were utterly calm and indifferent.

It's only been two years, has that kid become so strong already?

It's just as imposing as the white beard he exuded in his youth!

Whitebeard is dead, is this guy going to conquer this sea again?

No.

This guy might be even more of a monster than Whitebeard!

Kaido glanced deeply at Ron and the blood-stained sword at his waist, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes before dissipating his aura and Conqueror's Haki. He turned and said, "Do whatever you want."

He was enveloped in a swirling cloud of lightning and thunder, and then a giant dragon burst out of the vortex, twisting its enormous body as agile as a serpent, and flew towards the surface of the sea.

Kaido's voice came from the sky.

"The Beasts Pirates will arrive at Punk Hazard in one month."

After Kaido left.

Sabo let out a breath and said to Ron in front of him, "That was a scare. I thought you were going to have a big fight with him, Ron."

Ron turned to him and smiled, "I did mean that just now. If he showed even a hint of murderous intent, I would definitely leave him here."

The crowd looked at each other, their expressions blank.

"That's the situation now. Sabo, Kuma, Ivankov, you go back to Dragon first, explain the situation to him, and ask him to help prepare and recruit combat forces."

Ron addressed Sabo and the others.

Sabo and the others nodded firmly.

When it comes to overthrowing the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, perhaps no one is more enthusiastic and eager than the Revolutionary Army.

This is the best opportunity!

Ron then looked at Ace and Marco: "Ace, Marco, you two should go back and regroup first. If there are any who don't want to risk their lives to participate in this war, there's no need to force them."

"understood."

After explaining some things.

Everyone dispersed.

We'll meet again in Punk Hazard a month from now!

After exchanging a few words with Ron, Empress Hancock left, satisfied.

On this deserted island, only the Sky Scourge, the Straw Hat Pirates, and Jinbe remained.

"Is Luffy alright?"

Ron walked up to Nami and the others, looking at Luffy, who was lying on the ground covered in blood and still unconscious.

"That trans woman with the big head said there's nothing seriously wrong with her now, and she should wake up in a few more days after resting."

Sanji replied.

Ron nodded.

He then looked at Nami, Zoro, Brook, Chopper, and the rest of the Straw Hat crew, and smiled apologetically, saying, "I'm sorry for dragging you all into this. But it's alright, I believe we will win this war."

"Are you really, really okay? That's the World Government, after all..."

Usopp was still extremely worried.

Being a pirate is already terrifying enough; he never even considered going to war with the World Government.

Do you have a winning plan?

Zoro looked at Ron and asked, "Like... ancient weapons or something?"

Frank's expression hardened, and he stared intently at Ron.

Ron noticed his gaze, turned to look at him, and smiled, "You're Franky, right?"

Franky was taken aback: "You know me?"

"Of course, we've met once before."

Frankie was stunned when he heard this.

"I...we met once? When? I don't seem to remember..."

"You really don't know."

Ron looked at him with a gentle smile: "Because I knocked you unconscious back then."

Franky was stunned, and the rest of the Straw Hat crew were also taken aback.

Ron reached into the void and retrieved a stack of yellowed blueprints, handing them to Franky:

"Give this back to you."

Franky took it with a puzzled look, then looked down and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Huh?! Isn't this the Hades design blueprint I lost?!?!"

The Straw Hat crew and Jinbe, who was standing next to them, were stunned for a moment, and then they all reacted, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

“Ehhhhh?!!!”

"Frankie, what... what did you just say? The blueprints for Hades?!"

Nami was speechless.

Franky didn't have time to answer her, staring intently at Ron and saying, "Why, why is this thing in your hands?!"

He was so surprised that he started to stammer.

Ron scratched his head and smiled at him somewhat embarrassedly, "I was the one who knocked you out and took this thing back in Water Seven."

Frankie was stunned.

"……Eh?"

"Oh, when I took this thing back then, I was planning to use it to make a deal with the World Government. I didn't expect to forget about it after putting it away. Later, I didn't need it anymore. Now it seems I should return it to you. Anyway, I've memorized the contents of it."

Listening to Ron's willful and casual words.

Franky, Nami, and the others all stood there, stunned, as if petrified.

Kuina, Robin, and the others covered their mouths and chuckled.

When it comes to being willful, their captain is second to none.

…………

after that.

The Straw Hat crew first returned to Sabaody Archipelago and went to Rayleigh's place.

After returning to White Earth Island, Sabo and the others immediately followed Ron's advice and began to use all their strength to search for the Glint-Glint Fruit, Dark-Dark Fruit, and Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Not only them, but the World Government, the Navy, and all the major powers in the New World, as well as the underworld, are all searching for these three Devil Fruits.

This led to a series of major power conflicts.

After the Navy, which represented absolute justice, suffered a crushing defeat at Marineford, its manpower, combat strength, and reputation were all far inferior to what they had been before.

Furthermore, with the World Government mobilizing troops to prepare for Ron's declaration of war, the Navy was powerless to deal with the conflict erupting on this sea, gradually losing its dominant position on these waters.

As the ocean in the New World gradually became engulfed in a raging whirlpool storm.

Zephyr, along with Ain, led the new Navy, built upon the foundation of pirate guerrilla groups, to replace the traditional Navy and protect a large number of civilians amidst the power struggles of the New World.
