Chapter 510: Chapter 511: The Three Emperors Meet
Chapter 511: The Three Emperors Meet
Just as the Marines conquered the most important stronghold in the first half of the New World...
At the Edd War sea, the sky was thick with dark, oppressive clouds that blotted out the sun. Over a hundred ships flying the Rockefeller pirate flag drifted on the sea, their banners whipping in the wind.
And opposite these hundred pirate ships, the fleets of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates appeared in the same sea area.
Standing at the prows of their ships, Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Charlotte Linlin both looked towards the Rockefeller Pirates, who were waiting in formidable battle formation.
"Is this a show of force? Or a welcome?" Marco said, seeing the posture adopted by the Rockefeller Pirates.
"Gurarararara! My sons, we can't let them look down on our Whitebeard Pirates! Everyone, pull yourselves together!" Whitebeard Edward Newgate said to his numerous sons.
"Yes, sir!"
All the crew members looked around, full of spirit. A magnificent scene like this was not something one could see easily. The three pirate crews had brought out their entire forces.
At the Edd War sea, nearly four hundred pirate ships from the three factions had assembled in neat formations. The sight of these four hundred ships covering this stretch of sea was majestic and awe-inspiring. Everyone was filled with surging passion.
However, one shouldn't be too impressed by the number of four hundred ships. In truth, this number was heavily inflated.
Whether it was the Rockefeller Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, or the Big Mom Pirates, the number of ships that could truly be considered warships was less than one hundred. The rest were just armed merchant ships or other small vessels. Most had just mounted a few large cannons on their decks to make up the numbers. Very few could be considered true warships.
Among the three great pirate crews, the Rockefeller Pirates had the most warships. Their crew alone possessed fifty warships. As for the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, the only ships that could be considered warships were the flagships of their respective division commanders and ministers. The rest were just modified ships. Although they had some firepower, it was a different story if they were to truly face off against the Marines.
But the ships deployed by the Marines were all genuine, top-of-the-line warships.
The flagships of the three pirate captains detached from their respective fleets and headed towards the center of the three-way standoff.
The Rockefeller Pirates' Poseidon, the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick, and the Big Mom Pirates' Queen Mama Chanter!
They broke away from the main forces and moved towards the middle. The three massive ships slowly approached each other.
"Welcome, Captain Whitebeard!"
"Welcome, Captain Rockefeller!"
"Welcome, Captain Big Mom!"
Three great shouts came from the three sides. The meeting of the Three Emperors had officially begun.
"They're here. All you young ones, step back! Your bodies won't be able to handle this."
Marco looked at the approaching Rockefeller Charlotte and Charlotte Linlin. His words made many members of the Whitebeard Pirates pause. Many didn't move.
And likewise, on the Big Mom Pirates' ship.
"Have the younger brothers and sisters get back to the cabins, quickly!" Katakuri said to the people behind him.
The children of the Charlotte family were taken aback but still obeyed Katakuri's words and returned to the cabins.
The three pirate crews' flagships came to a halt, facing each other in a triangle formation.
Three sets of footsteps slowly sounded.
Charlotte, with his hand resting on the hilt of his Seven-Star Sword, slowly walked to the prow of the Poseidon, followed by Carter and the others.
Whitebeard, holding his Murakumogiri with a solemn expression, walked to the prow of the Moby Dick, followed by Marco and the others.
Charlotte Linlin's heavy body strode onto the prow of the Queen Mama Chanter, followed by Katakuri and his siblings.
The three parties officially met on the prows of their respective ships.
In an instant, the atmosphere grew tense. Not a single person spoke; they were all watching each other, including the crew members on the opposing ships.
Marco, Katakuri, and the others frowned when they saw that the ones following Rockefeller Charlotte were not the famous Esdeath, Caesar, and Tesla, but his old guard from before. But they quickly relaxed.
Charlotte, Whitebeard, and Charlotte Linlin stared at each other.
Suddenly, three great laughs erupted at the same time!
"Hahahahaha!"
"Gurarararara!"
"Mamamamama!"
"Charlotte (Newgate, Linlin), it's been a long time!" the three said in unison.
Then, a powerful aura burst forth from the three of them. Conqueror's Haki erupted from their bodies simultaneously.
Reddish-green, black-red, and pink.
The three streams of Conqueror's Haki slammed into the three fleets, instantly enveloping the entire sky.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Behind the three factions, countless crew members who couldn't withstand the impact of this intense Conqueror's Haki collapsed onto the decks. Many ships even began to creak, cracks appearing on their hulls.
"What powerful Conqueror's Haki! Is this the power of the Three Emperors?" a pirate said, forcing himself to stay upright as he looked at the three towering figures at the lead.
Although one of the figures wasn't that tall, in their hearts, he was still like a great mountain, one that was difficult to surmount.
The three streams of Conqueror's Haki clashed with each other, unleashed without reservation. They entangled in mid-air, neither giving an inch.
After a brief stalemate, the three energies surged towards the sky in unison, instantly piercing through the dark clouds and welcoming the sunlight.
The Conqueror's Haki vanished in an instant. The pressure on everyone disappeared. Countless people gasped for fresh air, as if they had come back to life.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Gurarararara!"
"Mamamamama!"
Rockefeller Charlotte, Edward Newgate, and Charlotte Linlin all laughed heartily at the same time. Their laughter echoed through the clouds.
Charlotte took out two bottles of fine wine from his bracelet and threw them towards Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin.
"Come, try the fine wine of our Rockefeller Pirates! It's absolutely the best in the world!" Charlotte said, looking at the two.
He lifted and threw the wine jugs, which were half the height of a person. Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin caught them with ease, not spilling a single drop. The two immediately began to drink heartily.
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
"Good wine! This is truly good wine," Whitebeard, the wine connoisseur, exclaimed, his eyes lighting up in praise.
"Mamamamama! It is indeed not bad. Charlotte, name your price. I'll take as much as you have," Charlotte Linlin said, licking her lips.
"Hahahahahaha! You can have as much as you want! After we defeat the Marines, you can drink however you please!" Charlotte said to the two.
But when he mentioned defeating the Marines, the smiles on both Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin's faces vanished.
The atmosphere was silent for a long time. Charlotte Linlin was the first to speak.
"Mamamamama! Charlotte, I've come here to help you this time. I wonder what price you're willing to pay. If it's not sincere enough, I'll just leave."
Charlotte Linlin's greedy expression made Charlotte's smiling face turn grim.
