Chapter 269: Scarlet Night
The deafening cheers echoed tirelessly throughout Wano Country over and over again, but the excited pirates didn't even notice that the Sea Kings had begun to withdraw from the battlefield at this time.
There are no other pirates on the shore except for the people of Autumn White and the fish people of the Sun Pirates, so compared to the blazing heat in the city, this place is not very deserted.
Qiubai's exhaustion had reached the extreme, and the distant shouting made his brain buzz, but he couldn't hear what was being shouted over there.
"Are you all here? We're ready to get out of here. He said in a very weak tone.
Naturally, all the people had already withdrawn from the battlefield and gathered here, and Qiubai was just the last person to come back after completing the mission.
"Monet?" Then he glanced at Monet again.
Monet nodded solemnly to the captain.
At this time, Qiu Bai finally settled down completely, and the action of Wano Country was successfully completed.
“…… Sail. ”
He only had time to say these two words, and before he even knew where his destination was, he was tired and fell asleep.
…………
By the time Qiubai woke up again, it was already three days later.
He sat naked on a soft velvet pillow, but there was nothing offensive about it, and even if he was not clothed, he was almost as if he were wearing clothes...... It's still the kind of striped bandage that is very avant-garde.
In just three days of his coma, explosive news has swept the world, and its shock is comparable to that of the war and the death of Whitebeard.
In front of him was a newspaper with a genuine photograph of Captain Bucky and his men standing on Kaido's shoulders, each with a horn in both arms, and Kaido's face was written in thick, thick black handwriting—Victory belongs to Bucky.
"The pirate war with Wano Country as the stage has come to an end, and as far as the result is concerned, the pirate Bucky has won the war completely, and a new era has come, and Bucky has proved with ironclad and irrefutable facts who is the real son of the times."
"After decades of being exposed to the world in the battle at the top, and then quickly rising to defeat Kaido, another crew member of the original Roger Pirates has finally fulfilled his ambitions."
"Although Kaido was eventually recaptured by his desperate counter-attackers, Captain Bucky had already imprinted his defeat on him...... Today, the void left by Whitebeard's death has been filled, and the New World has been restored to the power of the Four Emperors, a situation that the Navy and the World Government did not anticipate. ”
"Bucky has become the new Four Emperors, and no one will doubt that."
"It is worth noting that according to the information revealed by Bucky himself, the original Seven Martial Sea Akiha, who participated in the operation together, died in battle with him against Kaido, and Captain Bucky said that it was Akiba's struggle that laid the foundation for his final victory, and he called Akibai a 'true comrade-in-arms' and a 'friend worth remembering for life'......"
"Humility and affection are perhaps one of Captain Bucky's strengths, which is rare for a pirate."
Then there is the mess of how Captain Bucky fought Kaido, how he used the artifact called the Trident, and what the future goals of action were.
The report ...... It was written by a fan of Bucky, right? Qiu Bai smiled as he took the newspaper away, "But he really helped us." ”
Qiubai didn't think there was anything wrong with Bucky taking the credit for defeating Kaido and faking his own death, or even the opposite, he felt that Bucky had really helped a lot this time.
"At present, Bucky and Kaido have withdrawn from Wano Country, and the Hundred Beast Pirates have retracted their tentacles, and looking at Bucky's movements, it seems that he intends to regain Whitebeard's territory...... The tens of thousands of pirates who fought with us all joined Bucky's command. Monet took Qiubai's newspaper and explained further.
At this time, the whole ship was concentrated in Qiubai, and the Sun Pirates who had completed the escort mission had already separated from them.
"Bucky is as high-profile as possible, there are so many pirates following him, it is estimated that it is impossible to keep a low profile, that will completely attract the attention of the world government and the navy, I have to thank him for his 'memorial' for me, it would be great if the navy could really think that I am dead during this time." After Qiu Bai said such a simple sentence, everyone present understood what he meant.
The next thing they have to find and enter is Ralph Drew, the "Final Island", and if the Navy knows this, compare it to Bucky over there...... And they still care about a woolen Bucky? There must be how many people have come to besiege Qiubai, and if you don't kill this thing, it will never be over.
Now that Bucky is helping to attract all the pressure, Qiubai is simply very grateful, the great Captain Bucky wants to be the Four Emperors, he will be the Four Emperors, that is the reward he deserves, as for Qiubai? Names like the Four Emperors have never meant anything to him, and he has only one goal to pursue from beginning to end.
At this point, the mummy Qiu Ge had already collected all four pieces of the puzzle, and as long as he wiped away the fog around him, he would know what kind of painting he was going to get.
At the same moment, Sanctuary Marlene Joa.
The Sengoku Marshal had information gathered from various sources about the war in front of him, and the intelligence information he could obtain was naturally far from being comparable to that of a newspaper, but even so, it was impossible to really know what the war was like.
After all, Wano Country is a closed country, so there is no navy, and the information he gets is fragmented and difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood...... In essence, except for Qiu Bai's associates, no one else could get a glimpse of the previous wars from the big picture, even his ally Bucky Great.
"They really defeated Kaido, which was far beyond my expectations, and it seems that we underestimated the strength of this man before Bucky." Sengoku said while looking at the documents in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his mind was a mess, what kind of sea king trident or something like that was simply a big head.
His old friend Karp sat in front of Sengoku, and the old sailor's expression was also more serious at this time, at least not the usual giggle.
"At the beginning, the little ghost who was fooling around on Roger's boat, I didn't expect it to grow to such a point, I really can't accept the old age." Karp said.
The so-called "three-year-old looks old", the redhead can achieve what he has achieved at this time, Karp has nothing to say, but Bucky is indeed far beyond his expectations.
"Bucky aside, the crux of the matter is, do you really believe that Qiubai is really dead?" Sengoku asked, this was his primary concern.
"But he did disappear from the battlefield, right?" Karp wasn't sure either, after all, he hadn't seen Qiubai die.
“…… It's hard to imagine that the pirate just died, after all, he didn't look like the kind of person who made wedding dresses for others. ”
Warring States is naturally very suspicious of Qiubai's death, but what can he do, a rather embarrassing reality is in front of him - the navy does not have enough manpower to search for Qiubai's information on a large scale, even if there is surplus power, it will be used on the "Four Emperors Baji".
The impact of the war on the top has not disappeared, which can be regarded as a "war dividend" for Qiubai.
