Chapter 795: The Game Between Superpowers? (2)
"It seems within three years, a great battle involving the Four Great Top Powers will erupt in the southeast of the New World." Hades predicted.
The final victor could be anyone.
Can the Demon King Pirates defeat the Five Peaks Pirates and successfully rise to power?
After all, Wang Zhi is currently at his peak, his strength hasn't declined.
Unless they wait another ten-plus years.
By then, Wang Zhi's peak period will be over, and he will start declining.
Even if he can maintain peak combat strength, the decline in stamina is inevitable.
Being defeated by "Demon King" Nash would also be a matter of course.
However, is "Demon King" Nash really willing to wait that long?
How would defeating an aging Wang Zhi prove his strength?
Nash's arrogance wouldn't allow him to do that either.
He must defeat the Five Peaks Pirates while Wang Zhi is not yet aging.
Facing Wang Zhi, who is still at his peak, even if he is defeated, Nash wouldn't be disgraced because he is still young and can prepare for the next war.
Wang Zhi would merely solidify his status.
As for the Wano Country battlefield, it's relatively brutal.
Once one side is defeated, they will be expelled from Wano Country.
Or simply die in battle.
In Hades' view, the best outcome, the most likely possibility, is for the Tyrant Dragon Pirates to defeat the Silver Axe Pirates and reoccupy Wano Country.
The Great Xia Kingdom would also be able to obtain Wano Country's seastone resources and interests.
And in the war between the Demon King Pirates and the Five Peaks Pirates, the Demon King Pirates would win the final victory.
Compared to the interests brought by Wano Country, cooperation with the Demon King Pirates is more important.
As for the need for seastone, the Landis Kingdom can completely secretly negotiate with the Great Xia Kingdom.
In any case, the Landis Kingdom controls the World Economic Journal and the World Telephone Bug Group, so they are not short on beli at all.
This way, everyone is happy.
With the World Government as a major enemy, it's impossible for the two superpowers to have conflict over such minor matters.
Ultimately, Silver Axe and Wang Zhi, these two elders, would become stepping stones and be abandoned.
Whether it's Silver Axe or Wang Zhi, these two once shook the Great Sea in the past.
After the Rocks Pirates disbanded, before Great Pirates like "\"Golden Lion\" Shiki" and "\"Whitebeard\" Edward Newgate" had truly grown to their peak.
In those initial few years, their momentum was even comparable to "\"Golden Lion\" Shiki's".
If the Flying Pirates hadn't received secret support from a superpower, "\"Golden Lion\" Shiki" wouldn't have been able to become a "Rocks Successor" after the Flying Pirates disbanded.
At the very least, he would have been under suppression by these monsters who reached their peak earlier for several years.
And now?
No one can remain glorious forever.
Their pirate crews suffered a crushing defeat by the Flying Pirates.
And were repeatedly defeated by "\"Golden Lion\" Shiki" in one-on-one battles.
Coupled with the rise of numerous rising stars and young monsters.
They no longer possess the invincible spirit they had in their youth.
Sometimes, one has to admit to aging.
As for Silver Axe, even the Five Peaks Pirates, who expanded their territory, merely benefited from their cooperation with Silver Axe.
In reality? Wang Zhi has also started indulging in pleasure, which can be seen from some aspects of his daily life.
Honeycomb Island itself is a famous Pirate Paradise.
Hades dares to guarantee that the Five Peaks Pirates will not proactively initiate a war against the Demon King Pirates.
The faction that declares war will definitely be the Demon King Pirates.
Since the two old monsters have lost their fighting spirit, it's better to yield their positions to the younger generation.
While their strength is still at its peak, they should be buried in the war against the World Government, contributing their part to weaken the World Government's strength.
This outcome is actually the best.
It is also the outcome Hades envisioned in his heart.
As long as he wants it, he can turn all of this into reality.
Rocks died in battle on the battlefield, dying in glory.
Captain John was also like this.
Silver Axe and Wang Zhi should be like this too.
Instead of holding onto their positions uselessly, hogging the limited territory in the New World.
Only this way can their interests be maximized and their value completely squeezed out.
Without wider living space, how can those young pirates grow?
"It seems I need to consider it."
Hades put down the data, a smile appearing on his face.
Consider what? Of course, it's preparing a grand funeral for them.
This requires planning.
However, it's impossible to make them destined to provoke the Marines and start a war with the World Government.
The most crucial factor among them is "\"Golden Lion\" Shiki".
Only Shiki can influence Silver Axe and Wang Zhi, making them participate in a large-scale war.
What made Hades somewhat puzzled was that he didn't know what the Flying Pirates were trying to do now.
The invasion of Impel Down is considered a major operation.
But why are they getting involved in Wano Country?
They haven't taken action for a long time.
At a time like this, they should strike while the iron is hot and completely interrupt the momentum of the Marines' World Conscription and rapid restoration.
How could he know that "\"Golden Lion\" Shiki" had learned about the whereabouts of an Ancient Weapon from Gaban and had been searching for it?
The Flying Pirates are currently not under the control of these superpowers like them.
The decision-making power is in the hands of a few core members.
Furthermore, when the Flying Pirates will erupt into a great battle with the World Government is not something they can decide.
What can be confirmed is that the Flying Pirates and the World Government will have a battle sooner or later, and the battlefield will be Mary Geoise.
"\"Golden Lion\" Shiki" will not die easily.
Even if it's a funeral, it must be incredibly glorious.
