Chapter 1018 Sadness and Joy, One World, Different Life
"Papa's flag...is no longer there."
At the entrance of Murloc Island, a new flag stands on the flagpole. The deterrent force of the beasts makes the pirates who arrive at Murloc Island dare not have other thoughts.
Just for the Whitebeard Pirates, this gap is still very big. A few days ago, when they went to Marlin Fandor through Murloc Island, the flag here was still their flag, but now everything is different.
The same goes for the Whitebeard Pirates. After all, they are the pirates who came together because of Whitebeard.
The composition of the Whitebeard Pirates is not like the original Rocks Pirates or the short-lived Blackbeard Pirates. They have no morals at all, but their composition is also uneven.
After the death of Whitebeard, the pirates of the team did not disband, and maintained the original state under the leadership of each captain.
But those affiliated pirate groups are different. Some captains died in the top battle, and the rest of them have their own ideas. Some choose to continue to fly the Whitebeard flag, and some have regained their independence.
Unless someone can carry the banner left by Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirates will already exist in name only.
Today they are still a powerful force in the new world, but they have already withdrawn from the first echelon.
Marco expected that Murloc Island would change its flag. He also knew that Murloc Island had a certain connection with Beasts, but the speed of changing the flag was beyond his expectation.
"Marco, there is no way to do this. The Murloc Island must survive. I hope you can understand our approach. To be honest, Newgate's last words have caused us a lot of trouble."
It was still Neptune who received them, and the king was quite busy during this time.
Whitebeard’s help to them is real. Even though the banner of beasts is now hoisted, Neptune is not so ruthless, and warmly received Marko and others.
After the death of Whitebeard, Marco has become the acting captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. For the Whitebeard Pirates, their captain will always be that one.
Whether it is now or in the future, the position of captain of the Whitebeard Pirates will probably be vacant.
If Whitebeard is still alive, the successor he appoints is likely to be Ace, but it is impossible for Ace to take over this position now, neither he nor the other crew members can accept this kind of thing for the time being.
Listening to Neptune's explanation, Marco sighed, knowing that he had no reason to say anything.
"I don't know that the future Murloc Island will not need us."
“.”
Nepton didn't reply, but everyone understood that the Murloc Island, which was sheltered by beasts, no longer needed Whitebeard's remnants, and Whitebeard's remnants were also unable to shelter the Murloc Island.
"Then we won't stay any longer, King Neptune, we are going back to Dad's territory."
The territory was occupied by other pirates. This matter was within the expectation of Marco and others. It is not surprising that Beasts and BIG MOM took action. Now they have no ability to offend them who have the power of the four emperors.
And now they no longer need as many territories as before, so the goal of the Whitebeard Pirates is to point to Whitebeard's hometown - Sphinx Island.
This impoverished island can't afford the gold at all, so naturally it is not qualified to become a member country, and it has become a lawless country as time goes by.
Although Whitebeard went to sea and became a pirate when he was a child, he has always missed the land where he was born and transported supplies here from time to time. Even though he has no friends and family on this island, Whitebeard still has a special feeling for his hometown.
What Whitebeard has always guarded is also what Marco and the others want to protect. Only this island, they don't want to give it to anyone.
Sphinx Island is far away from the territory of BIG·MOM. The only risk is the beasts, but the beasts gave up this island, which is what Kaido and Arceus meant.
Sphinx Island is too poor, the geographical location is not good, there is no unique advantage, and there is no gain in occupying it. In this case, they directly left it to the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates.
It is much better for these people to have a fixed territory than for them to run around the world.
After that, Shanks arrived on the island and participated in the funeral of Whitebeard. As for the future of the Whitebeard Pirates, that is not a question for him to think about.
The actions of the Whitebeard Pirates also possess rationality, and the persimmons are soft. They can't afford to offend the current Beasts and Big Mom, and they can still deal with those pirates who take advantage of the chaos.
Putting grief into their hearts, they began to paralyze themselves with new battles.
On the other hand, in the territory of the Beasts Pirates, the residents of most of the islands are full of joy, and the relationship in the Pirate World is generally deformed. In this case, the Somali pirate banking system of Beasts is also preserved.
Many people got investment dividends when the beasts won. As for the sad people
Wars will kill people, even if they are the attackers, this situation cannot be avoided. Although pensions will be issued, relatives and friends will still feel sad, but there are not many such people.
Most of the pirate groups are alone. There are only a few people like Mandelfish who are full of promotion and retirement, and hedonists like Drake are the norm.
Ordinary brothers will grieve for them for a while, but it won't be long before they throw themselves into the banquet and celebrate their victories.
As the leaders of the Beast Pirates, Kaido and Arceus have not yet returned to the Wano Country. Without special circumstances, Arceus will not speed up the sailing speed, but will only let the Siyuan sail at a regular speed.
Kaido couldn't bear the loneliness anymore and rode the eight-headed dragon to find someone to fight. To be more precise, he went to abuse vegetables. He also heard the news that the sea was no longer calm, and planned to teach those little ghosts a lesson .
Just before leaving, he indicated the date of the banquet and said that he would return to Ghost Island as scheduled.
During the voyage of the Siyuan, some lifeboats would be seen from time to time, and the warm-hearted Yamato would often help them. At first, those people were grateful, but when they saw the pirate flag on her body, their faces The expression on the face was replaced by fear.
"Father, I don't understand, why do these people think that the sea will be stable when White Beard dies?"
This is what she heard from the population on the shipwreck.
【White Beard is dead, why does the sea still not stop. 】
Even she couldn't understand the statement.
"Yeah, even you understand the truth, but most people still don't understand it, or rather, it's not that they don't know, but more people don't want to believe it."
"Right. Wait, adoptive father, aren't you complimenting me?"
