Chapter 738: Teach's Debut
For Marshall D. Teach and his followers, this day was exciting.
They all knew one thing: the moment Teach obtained the Devil Fruit he desired would be the moment they left Paros Island.
Although they felt some reluctance, the vast Great Sea held more appeal for them.
They were too familiar with Paros Island; they could return anytime they wished.
And following Marshall D. Teach, this extremely talented young Monster, to achieve something great?
What could be more exciting than that?
Meanwhile, the news of Marshall D. Teach reaching the summit spread throughout the World.
What does it mean to reach the summit?
It means conquering all Competitor in the Sky Arena and defeating everyone.
Ross had once reached the summit of the Sky Arena.
But similarly, he was also a defender.
He had faced challenger after challenger.
Everyone who defeated him had established a foothold on the Great Sea.
They became targets for countless Faction seeking to recruit them.
Wealth and reputation were easily obtained.
From the initial construction of the Sky Arena until now, Ross had witnessed its development, and he was known by everyone.
He also held extraordinary significance for the Sky Arena.
He didn't possess the potential of a Monster like Teach, nor did he have a special devil fruit ability.
He honed his body, body technique, and haki little by little, growing step by step to this day.
Although Ross's potential wasn't bad, compared to young Monsters like Teach and Char, he was closer to an ordinary human, making him more likely to gain favor with others.
Furthermore, he had a relatively approachable demeanor.
He was guaranteed a place in the Sky Arena's Hall of Fame.
Teach wasn't the only Monster to defeat him, but he was the last.
He was going to leave Paros Island.
He would return to the Kronos Kingdom.
Having come into contact with Monsters like Teach and the information of the Great Sea, he could better feel his own insignificance and the greatness of the Kingdom.
Moving forward, no matter what he did, he had a relatively bright future.
His home was in the Kingdom, and he hadn't returned for some time.
Following closely behind was speculation about Marshall D. Teach's future choices.
Join a certain Faction?
Become a pirate and form a Pirate Crew?
Or something else.
No one considered him joining the Marines.
Because among those who had left the Sky Arena so far, very few chose to join the Marines.
It wasn't that there were none, but none were Strongman.
Currently, the Marines' influence in the New World was minimal.
Just a period of absence, and their presence quickly began to weaken.
Previously, the Marines would still patrol the Central Sea Area of the Front Half of the New World.
Now?
After the Bloody Battle ended, large Sea Area were given up by the Marines, and a large number of pirates poured into them, forming the so-called "Pirate Novice Zone."
This was absolutely a disgrace.
North of the novice zone was "Monster Paradise."
To the east, one could bypass the Territory of the Bone Demon Pirates and the Plank Pirates to enter the Pluto Sea Area.
This route was considered a relatively safe path.
To the west were the few Sea Area where the Marines were present.
Of course, the Marines also had quite a few Marine Base in the New World, but they maintained a defensive posture and rarely actively pursued pirates.
World Conscription was underway, and before their strength was restored or even increased, the Marines and the World Government did not want to engage in conflict with pirates.
Therefore, very few Strongman would regard the Marines highly; joining the Marines was impossible.
It brought no interests and came with a lot of restraint.
More importantly, being hostile to the many Monsters in the New World?
Only a fool would do that.
Many people wanted to know Marshall D. Teach's choice.
However, most people could actually guess that Marshall D. Teach would become a pirate and establish a Faction; the essence was the same.
After all, Teach already had quite a few Subordinate around him.
In the past, when Teach hadn't become completely famous, they were somewhat inconspicuous.
Now?
After countless people started paying attention, a lot of intelligence on Paros Island was involuntarily exposed.
Who were Teach's likely Subordinate?
What was their strength?
Which floor of the Sky Arena were they on?
Under the spotlight, many things were difficult to conceal.
Especially in a metropolis like Paros Island, the infrastructure was very advanced, with broadcasts, streetlights, Nijū, and music readily available.
It also gathered Media Reporter from Around the World, establishing Branch on Paros Island or surrounding Island.
The Sky Arena had extraordinary money-making methods.
Besides focusing on fighting, commercialization was also an important direction.
"Hawk-Eye" Mihawk had extremely high popularity on the Great Sea and endorsed top hats and cloaks from a certain Kronos Kingdom Company.
He received nearly ten million Beli for free every year.
And he also received free top hats and cloaks, with diverse styles, and could even recommend designs.
This was a considerable temptation for the young Mihawk, so he did not refuse.
Therefore, the influence of the Sky Arena and Paros Island was in all aspects.
The Faction Teach possessed on Paros Island could not be underestimated.
As for what the future held, it went without saying.
Of course, the most important thing was that this Great Sea, especially the New World, was the main theme now.
When you want to establish a Faction, you will inevitably get involved with pirates, it's just a matter of whether you have the title of pirate or not.
Did the Gallagher Family established by Gallagher Karl count?
Did Rugal, the King of Underground Fighting, count?
It wasn't only pirates who had bounties.
It was just that most Criminal with Bounties were basically defined as pirates.
Marshall D. Teach's Pirate Ship had already completed construction and was docked at the Coast of Puto Island.
Becoming a pirate, for Marshall D. Teach, was a destined event.
Many people had great expectation for how much of a stir Teach would make on the Great Sea in the future.
After the Rocks Era ended, among the Great Pirate of the New Era, the most famous were still "King of the Beasts" Kaido and "King of Monsters" Typhon.
But for them, after the great pirate era, it was still too early.
Even Kaido and Typhon rose in the mid-to-late period of the Legendary Pirate era.
By then, the Rocks Era had already passed for five or six years.
As for others, they rose even later and had to join the Flying Pirates.
Therefore, the young Monsters who rose after the great pirate era began needed at least five or six years of growth.
As for standing alongside, or approaching, the world's top tier monsters, it would take even longer, requiring over ten years to achieve.
The improvement of combatant strength required the accumulation of time.
Situations like the Nika Fruit gaining "yonko level strength" experience cards through short-term bursts were special.
Being unable to maintain it for long was one reason; repeated limit bursts also consumed lifespan.
This was completely not worth it.
Nineteen-year-old Luffy, even with the devil fruit's first three gears, relying purely on combatant strength, could at most reach the level of an elite Vice Admiral, or even approach a Top Tier Combatant.
The burst of gear four gave him Top Tier Combatant Strength.
The burst of gear five even gave him peak sea combatant strength.
It seemed very powerful, relying on a special devil fruit ability and the powerful combatant strength formed by bursts.
But who could imagine the price that needed to be paid for it?
