chapter 38

"Oh? Hancock, what's the matter?" Mu Feng asked, looking at Hancock who seemed hesitant to speak.

"Thank you, Lieutenant General Mu Feng," Hancock finally said after hesitating.

"It's nothing, just a matter of effort," Mu Feng replied with a smile.

As Mu Feng looked at Hancock, he noticed a strange light flicker in her eyes. After a moment of hesitation, Hancock spoke up, "Lieutenant General Mu Feng, in the future, Amazon Lily will become your ally. As long as it doesn't threaten the survival of Amazon Lily, we will never hesitate to support you."

"Similarly, Ms. Hancock, you will also be my ally from now on. If necessary, I will take responsibility," Mu Feng assured her with a smile.

Hancock's face flushed slightly at Mu Feng's words. "Then... I'll take my leave," she said, sounding a little flustered.

Observing Hancock's departure, a small smile formed on the corner of Mu Feng's mouth. It seemed that the day when Hancock would fully succumb to him was not far away.

......

News of Mu Feng's victory over the Shichibukai was deliberately promoted by the Marines and spread throughout the world in just three days.

Initially, people were astonished, but soon the entire world was buzzing with excitement.

Especially the powerful pirates of the New World.

Upon reading the news in the newspapers, their initial reaction was disbelief. They questioned whether it was some kind of April Fool's joke, but soon realized that it was not.

"What?! Alone?! A mere Marine lieutenant defeated all the Shichibukai at once? Mu Feng? Who is this guy?! The Marine lieutenant who killed Jack "Drought"?! But it can't be possible for him to be this powerful!"

"This is too fake... Are all Marines fools? Who would believe this?"

"If this is true, I'll eat shit!" (Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The majority of pirates expressed disbelief and skepticism. However, the Four Emperors, who stood at the pinnacle of the pirate world, had a different reaction.

......

"Father, this is surely a fake. Although this guy named Mu Feng killed Jack "Drought," it was on the ocean. Jack's strength is at best half of his full ability. If he were to fight all the Shichibukai at once, I doubt the Marines could achieve what Garp can," Marco said as he handed the newspaper to Whitebeard aboard the Moby Dick.

"Koohahaha... Marco, I know Sengoku very well. We've had our fair share of battles when we were Admirals. Although we may have had our differences, when it comes to matters like this... it's unlikely to be fake. It seems that Marine has an incredible individual," Whitebeard replied, taking the newspaper from Marco.

"It's truly amazing," Marco sighed.

"Koohahaha... don't worry. This is not the old era. The New World belongs to us pirates," Whitebeard reassured them with a laugh.

However, a hint of twilight crossed his eyes, a reminder of his advancing age.

But that trace of twilight quickly disappeared.

Who am I?

I am Whitebeard! The strongest man in the world! If anyone dares to challenge me, I won't hold back... Kuhahaha.

......

"Captain, Hawkeye was defeated. He lost to the Marine Lieutenant General named Mu Feng," Yasopp of the Red Hair Pirates reported to Red Hair in a low voice, handing him a newspaper.

"Oh... Mihawk lost?" Red Hair took the paper and said.

Reading the newspaper, Red Hair was even more shocked. "This is amazing... he defeated Mihawk in swordsmanship. This young man named Mu Feng is truly incredible. If I were to face him in swordsmanship alone, I wouldn't know if I could beat him."

......

"Boss, Monkey D. Mu Feng has defeated the Shichibukai," one of the Three Calamities, "Wind Disaster," reported to Kaido in a hushed voice.

"Huh! It's normal for the trash Shichibukai to be wiped out. Doflamingo isn't dead," Kaido responded like a monstrous creature.

"He's not dead," the Wind Disaster confirmed.

"That's good. Make him move faster," Kaido said. "Also, keep an eye on the Marine named Mu Feng. If he appears in the New World, inform me immediately. I'll take care of him personally... I'll kill him."

Kaido's eyes glimmered with a fierce determination.

......

Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

Marshal Sengoku's office.

Sengoku looked at a document in his hand with a gloomy expression when Mu Feng entered the room without waiting for a response. Seeing Sengoku's troubled look, Mu Feng was slightly surprised.

"Marshal Sengoku, is something wrong?" Mu Feng asked.

Sengoku's expression softened a bit as he saw Mu Feng. He sighed and said, "Pirates, those damn pirates again! The pirates from the Chambord Islands, because they don't believe that you defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they think the Marines are insulting them. So they united and attacked Shampoo Land. Lieutenant General Oda of the Marine branch in the islands died in the battle. Marines at all levels suffered heavy casualties, and the Marine branch in Chambord has been paralyzed."

Chambord Islands...

Mu Feng's eyes lit up as if he had an idea.

"Marshal, since this situation was caused by me, allow me to handle it. I request permission from Marshal Sengoku! Lieutenant General Monkey D. Mu Feng of the headquarters, I request to go to the Chambord Islands, suppress the pirates, and pay respects to Lieutenant General Oda," Mu Feng requested.
