Chapter 712: Demon King's Strategy
Long before the Silver Axe Pirates Great Fleet arrived.
Charlotte Linlin's sons, Katakuri and Oven, had already arrived.
Within the Silver Axe Pirates Great Fleet, the Silver Axe Pirates themselves possessed nearly ten thousand Army.
After declaring war, a large number of Pirates joined the Silver Axe Pirates.
In a short period, the number of Silver Axe Pirates swelled to thirteen thousand.
This also included those Affiliated Force, most of whom were planning to fish in troubled waters.
Even so, the Total Military Strength of the Silver Axe Pirates Great Fleet reached eighteen million.
In one fell swoop, they became a Faction in the New World second only to the Flying Pirates, nearly restoring themselves to their Peak period.
Of course, this was just an illusion, but even so, it was astonishing enough.
After two consecutive Bloody Battles, the Total Military Strength of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates had dropped to four thousand people.
Unlike other Faction on the Great Sea, Recruitment for the Tyrant Dragon Pirates was inherently more difficult.
The main reason was that "Tyrant Dragon" Zak looked down on most recruits.
With just time, the Tyrant Dragon Pirates could quickly restore their strength.
The Tyrant Dragon Pirates had not anticipated such a sudden situation at all.
Even including their Affiliated Force, in terms of Military Strength, the Tyrant Dragon Pirates had less than one-third of the Silver Axe Pirates'.
A three-fold Military Strength Gap.
It was not something that could be easily compensated for.
Dragon Island's Geographical Advantage had been neutralized.
Their powerful firepower was like scrap iron.
Silver Axe directly sent fifteen thousand Army to board the Floating Clouds.
From a high altitude of ten thousand meters, they simultaneously descended from the Sky from Dragon Island's Rear Area, directly reaching the Tyrant Dragon Pirates' Core Territory.
Meanwhile, Silver Axe himself led the remaining three thousand Force to directly attract the Tyrant Dragon Pirates' attention.
Zak was still too arrogant.
If he had followed the Silver Axe Pirates all the way, even with the Floating Clouds, the Silver Axe Pirates would have had to expend considerable effort to land on Dragon Island.
Facing the well-prepared Tyrant Dragon Pirates, they would also have suffered significant heavy losses.
Just Zak alone made them incredibly difficult to deal with.
Silver Axe had even planned to fully tie down Zak, preventing Zak from interfering with the Silver Axe Great Fleet's landing on the Island.
Unfortunately, Zak did not do this.
Instead, he stayed at the Base Camp, waiting for the Silver Axe Pirates to arrive.
This allowed the Silver Axe Pirates to land on Dragon Island directly without paying any price, and also catch the Tyrant Dragon Pirates off guard.
They already had a Military Strength Advantage, the Tyrant Dragon Pirates were not fully prepared, their members had not fully assembled, and they were stabbed in the back.
The scale of victory tilted towards the Silver Axe Pirates from the very beginning.
Even if the Tyrant Dragon Pirates had planted Spy within the Silver Axe Pirates, they couldn't be of any use.
The Den Den Mushi Jammer had been updated and iterated.
In War, intelligence is a crucial factor; most Top-tier Great Pirate understood this point.
Especially during secret operations.
As a machine strategically preventing intelligence leaks, it would naturally be equipped on the Silver Axe Pirates' ship.
And there were two of them.
With this Jammer present, even with Spy, the intelligence could not be leaked.
Why did Anz sense something was wrong?
Because the number of Pirate Ship in the Silver Axe Pirates Great Fleet before them was slightly less than expected.
Furthermore, their Main Combatants had basically landed on Dragon Island.
They would also participate in the War, but only after the members of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates guarding the edge of Dragon Island had completed their evacuation.
At this time, they were already preparing to evacuate.
However, they weren't leaving, but preparing to go around to the other side of Dragon Island to land.
"Tyrant Dragon" Zak was being held back by Silver Axe, and the Force guarding the Island would also be attracted by the companions who had already landed.
Under these circumstances, their resistance to landing on the Island would greatly decline.
What the Tyrant Dragon Pirates didn't know was.
After the Silver Axe Pirates departed, the Five Peaks Pirates directly dispatched their Army to occupy large portions of the Silver Axe Pirates' Territory.
Having suffered heavy losses after the Bloody Battle, the Five Peaks Pirates were completely unable to support such a vast Territory.
They even found it somewhat difficult to maintain their original Territory.
However, since they were surrounded by Great Pirates, he wasn't worried about anyone coming to cause him trouble; he had ample time to restore his strength.
As for the Silver Axe Pirates' Territory, Wang Zhi didn't care about the details; he would take it first and worry about it later.
As soon as the Five Peaks Pirates made their move, other Faction that were still observing also took action, rushing forward to encroach upon and divide the unguarded Island.
In a short period, more than half of the Silver Axe Pirates' Territory was occupied.
After occupying the Silver Axe Pirates' Territory, the Five Peaks Pirates halted their expansion and settled down.
What others didn't know was that the Five Peaks Pirates' Main Ship was en route to Dragon Island.
Many Pirates led by Great Pirate Wang Zhi were preparing to join in.
They would arrive in just one day's time.
And in the East of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates Territory.
Two figures were flying in the Sky, flapping black wings, continuously approaching Dragon Island.
The Demon King Pirates Cadre "Black Feather" Belial and "Witherer" Samael.
These two were the reinforcements sent by the Demon King Pirates; for Nash, sending two Cadre was already showing Silver Axe a lot of respect.
Even if the Silver Axe Pirates hadn't contacted him, the Demon King Pirates would have taken action to tear a piece of flesh from the Tyrant Dragon Pirates.
It was also for the Seastone Share that Silver Axe had promised.
Even if Silver Axe didn't keep his promise, getting it for a year or two would still be a gain.
In Nash's view, Silver Axe didn't just contact the Demon King Pirates.
This was also the source of his confidence; he wasn't worried about Belial and Samael encountering any danger.
Moreover, the strength of the Silver Axe Pirates was already terrifyingly strong.
And the main target was to help Silver Axe defeat "Tyrant Dragon" Zak, a strong enemy from the same era as him.
In terms of potential and danger, the Tyrant Dragon Pirates were definitely higher than the Silver Axe Pirates.
Especially in the future.
The Tyrant Dragon Pirates, possessing numerous Dragonoid Race Warriors, were not lacking in high-end combat power at all.
If the Dragonoid Race, whose hidden location was unknown, were to appear and support the Tyrant Dragon Pirates, then if the Demon King Pirates wanted to expand in the future, their target could only be the Five Peaks Pirates.
He would rather go to war with the Five Peaks Pirates, who had no upward momentum, than confront the equally young Tyrant Dragon Pirates.
After all, relying on the support of the Rocks Pirates Dragonoid Gang, the Tyrant Dragon Pirates were stronger than the Demon King Pirates from the very beginning of their establishment.
After all, no matter how much military strength a Pirate Crew had, it was useless; they were basically cannon fodder.
In a true great battle, what was needed to depend on was high-end combat power and Top Tier Combatant.
And the Tyrant Dragon Pirates did not lack these.
Dragonman Anz, who had eaten a mysterious Mythical Zoan.
The Captain of the Orochi Pirates, Kurozumi Orochi, the strongest Affiliated Force of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates, was also a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit User.
During the Bloody Battle, Kurozumi Orochi also exhibited powerful combatant strength and was blocked by a certain Strongman from the World Government.
Among the other Dragonoid Race Cadre, there were also many Devil Fruit User, and there were also three or four Ancient Zoan Ability User.
Considering the future development strategy, the Tyrant Dragon Pirates would obstruct the Demon King Pirates' path to the west, so they could only expand northwards.
