Chapter 740: The Riotous Great Sea's Qualification
"I want to bring my talent to the Great Sea!"
These were the words spoken by "Black Emperor" Marshall D. Teach.
They were also words that had become quite popular in the New World recently.
This world has never lacked people with talent, especially in the New World where heroes contend.
It has gathered an unknown number of Monster.
The strength gap in the Great Sea is very transparent; there are very few ignorant people.
Even "Moonlight" Moria has begun to lie low.
Over the years, there have been many Strongman who concealed their sharpness and slowly accumulated strength.
This accumulation didn't just start in the Great Pirate Era; it began even after the Legendary Pirate Era and the Rocks Era.
Not showing their faces doesn't mean they don't exist; there are also many whose reputation is too small, or who only have a little reputation.
Hades knows just how terrifying the energy contained within the Great Sea is.
Some factions that only occupy a single Island are actually not to be underestimated.
The current Gallagher Family, and the future Donquixote Family, actually only have one Island as their Territory.
For most factions, this is actually already enough.
Some factions that found it difficult to compete in the space of the New World even returned to the Grand Line Paradise via Fish-Man Island to lie low and develop in secret.
The outbreak of the bloody battle led to a significant decrease in the number of New World Pirates, especially those in the middle to upper echelons.
Coupled with the impact of the Great Pirate Era, this gave these Young Pirate a great deal of living space.
Now, there are also several Chaotic Sea Area that are not occupied by Overlord-level Great Pirate.
An unknown number of factions have emerged to compete with each other.
It's normal for an Island to have seven or eight pirate crews.
A pirate crew capable of ruling a named Island is actually not considered weak in the New World.
The Great Pirate Era is an extremely riotous era.
Especially in the New World, every Sea Area is very chaotic, with factions constantly competing with each other.
This is especially true for Territory outside the sphere of influence of Top Power.
Even in those fringe areas, people are competing and fierce fighting.
For example, the Whitebeard Pirates often need to send people to deal with, expel, and eliminate those causing trouble on their Territory.
An unknown number of factions have emerged, and an unknown number have silently perished.
With the Marines' faction far from the New World, some pirate crews, even if they have considerable strength, still cannot obtain a bounty.
This is because the Marines' attention is not on them, unless they truly enter the Marines' vision.
The pirates in the New World are killing each other; this is something the Marines and the World Government are happy to see.
Since it will happen even without intervention, why bother paying Beli for bounties?
It would just be a waste of money.
Although the annual Marine military funds are considerable now, they still need to be calculated carefully.
A larger army scale, more Marine Base, more marine warships.
Money flows like water.
Therefore, the world conscription will last for at least five or six years, possibly longer or shorter.
To better suppress the Great Sea, mainly the Four Seas, which is the World Government's Base.
The Marines need to recruit up to a million.
This was originally the Marines' previous target, but unfortunately, it was interrupted by war while it was underway.
The outbreak of the Great Pirate Era, the swelling number of pirates, and the chaos of the Great Sea have given the Marines a large source of recruits.
Things are always relative.
For example, the North Blue Navy has done a good job suppressing the North Blue and suppressing pirates.
However, the coverage work for the Four Seas has not yet been completed.
A large number of recruits need time for training.
Brand new Marine Base need to be built.
All of this takes time.
As for truly making the Great Sea stable and reducing the frequency of pirate appearances, that is a long-term goal.
It will require over a decade.
Even now, the number of pirates is still swelling.
The tides of the New World are surging, but in the eyes of Strongman like Hades, no matter how much commotion they cause, they are just small waves.
What are giant waves?
News involving Top Power, such as the previous clash between the Tyrant Dragon Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates, that is giant waves.
News of "Tyrant Dragon" Zak displaying his unparalleled ability to cause natural disasters and successively attacking the Base Camp of the Big Mom Pirates, Five Peaks Pirates, and Demon King Pirates, that is giant waves.
Even so, Teach's performance is enough for others to remember his name.
It has reached the ears of those Top-tier Monster.
Teach's talent is undeniable.
Furthermore, he is very young and has undergone excellent training, not someone who started halfway.
However, this does not mean that Teach has the qualification to stand before those Monster.
They still do not belong to the same level.
Even standing at the peak of the Sky Arena, Teach is not yet considered to have grown up.
What does it mean to grow up?
Only by surviving in the hands of those Top-tier Monster can one truly be considered to have grown up.
One must be like "Underworld Serpent" Möbius, who could retreat unscathed even when directly challenging "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate head-on.
Like "Godspeed" Char, Goenitz, and Grado, who proved their strength on the world-class stage.
Without battle records, everything is meaningless.
Currently, Teach clearly does not have this qualification.
Of course, Teach is also clear about this, and Lubock is even clearer.
Even if Teach can persevere under the cruel competition, what about the other members by his side?
They are still young and have not yet grown up; the price paid for that would be completely not worth it.
Thanks to the Sky Arena, Teach's prestige in the New World is even no less than that of Great Pirate like "Bone Demon" Bone.
Without sufficient strength, becoming the target of everyone is clearly not a smart approach.
Facing threats, many pirates don't mind forming alliances and joining forces to deal with the person who poses the greatest threat.
Therefore, the brand new Black Emperor Pirates need enough time to develop.
And Marshall D. Teach also needs to seek more outstanding companions in the Four Seas to prepare for future hegemony.
The title of Black Emperor thus fell upon Teach.
This was something they adopted themselves, and outsiders also gave it recognition.
Although the Marines generally don't give vicious pirates pleasant and imposing names.
Just like "Straw Hat Kid", it's simply utterly dismissive.
But for some relatively recognized titles, they won't deliberately be annoying.
Especially for a Monster like Marshall D. Teach, who possesses super strong potential.
Whether he deserves it or not, Time will tell.
This also represents Teach's absolute confidence in himself.
In the name of "Black Emperor", he has undoubtedly already declared his ambition.
Just like Gallagher Karl, the title Spider Emperor was the codename he gave himself at the Sky Arena.
