What exactly is the relationship between Shanks and Rocks?
Will already has an answer in his mind, but it is hard to say whether the answer he has in mind is correct or not unless Shanks admits it himself.
Unfortunately, after telling a lot of things about the Rocks Pirates, Shanks regained his composure and then left with a group of people complaining, as if they had never been in the sea.
Until Will returned, he didn't get an answer as to why Kaido owed Big Mom a favour.
He always had a hunch that maybe this matter had something to do with the huge scar on Kaido's body and that if he knew about it, he would be able to completely break Kaido's 'immortal body' in his next fight with the Hundred Beasts Pirates.
..........
A few days later, an explosive news story swept the world!
Big Mom is dead!
'Faceless' Will led his people to wipe out the Big Mom pirate group, and Big Mom that became a nightmare for countless people didn't even make it to escape, so she died at the hands of Will, and that was one-on-one without anyone bothering them!
This battle between the two Four Emperors came to an end in front of countless eyewitnesses!
The end result is unimaginable!
Although the outlying forces of the Faceless Pirate group were badly hit, with countless casualties, the core members survived, only with minor injuries.
On the other hand, the defeated side of the Big Mom Pirates suffered heavy casualties, with all the peripheral forces annihilated, the core members killed and wounded, and was being taken as a prisoner!
This is incredible!
Almost everyone thought that even if the Faceless Pirates could win, they would end up with a crushing victory, but this result almost punched them in the face!
What does this prove?
It proves that even if they have the same title as Four Emperors, there is a gap and even restraint between each other!
Yes, a lot of people can't accept the result and are starting to find evidence for why 'Faceless' Will 'easily' defeated Big Mom.
If Faceless Will had mastered something or other that restrained Big Mom's ability, then it would have been logical from the public declaration of war to the final result.
But no matter what anyone says or speculates, the Faceless Pirates became the first Emperors Pirates to defeat the power of their level!
As many people predicted, the world was shocked!
If it can be said that the "Faceless" Will during the War of the Best was still a budding hero, then the "Faceless" Will who fought Kaido head-on, defeated the Golden Lion, and defeated all challengers in one fell swoop to take the throne of the Fourth Emperor has undoubtedly revealed his ambition completely! and showed the world his ferocious fangs of devouring man!
And now, trampling on the corpse of Big Mom to climb even higher, he has pushed his reputation to another peak!
What no one had ever done before, he did!
Compared to him, it seems that the Navy's proud War of the Best has become a laughing stock!
Countless people have come to regard Will as the strongest of the Four Emperors and worship him!
If these people knew that after the death of Big Mom, Kaido threatened to take the head of 'Faceless' Will and that sooner or later there would be a battle between the two sides, then the world would go completely crazy!
The smooth pattern of the Four Emperors coexisting peacefully together, always getting along fine, is something many people are tired of seeing!
They want to see the Four Emperors denounce each other, they want to reshuffle the deck and build a new Four Emperors, they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic!
And somehow, Will has become the symbol of the new era of pirates, countless young pirates see him as a role model, and the biggest wish is to join the Faceless Pirate group and become one of them!
The world government must be the big promoter of this secret affair!
People like Shanks who see through the World Government's tricks know that the World Government is secretly urging the pirates to deplete the strength of all pirates in the sea, let them fight for a so-called 'Four Emperor' title, and for them, it's the best result if they all die together!
So that no one can shake the domination of the Celestial Dragons!
...........
In the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, dressed in a cloak, was amazed and put down the newspaper in his hand. He couldn't imagine how that guy did it.
In fact, before 'Faceless' Will openly declared war on the Big Mom, their organization was not very optimistic about the results of the war, many of them also believe that the final result no matter who wins is very likely to be a disastrous victory, for others to make a wedding dress.
There was even a proposal for the Revolutionary Army to stop the Faceless Pirates from stepping into the 'abyss', or simply for them to be the profitable fishermen!
But all of this was rejected by Dragon, who, unlike these opinions, was thinking about whether to help Will out in the dark, to get closer to each other again.
He didn't think that 'Faceless' Will would be an unsure, overwhelmed and reckless person.
If he had to place a bet, he would rather bet on a big win for the Faceless Pirates!
But because of the unanimous disapproval of the others, the final discussion resulted in a wait-and-see approach, or else the credit for defeating the Big Mom Pirates would definitely be given to the Revolutionary Army.
What a pity!
Dragon has always thought that the cooperation with the Faceless Pirate Group is the most correct thing he has done in the past few years. He wants money and they have the money, strength and the Faceless Pirates have the strength, and Will doesn't point his fingers at all on what to do. It is estimated that he will never find such a good partner. Not the second one!
The relationship between the Faceless Pirates and their revolutionary army had been promising, but it was ruined by a series of guys who were only interested in immediate gains.
Dragon doesn't doubt their loyalty to the organization, but it seems that his power to distribute the profits has fed their ambitions, and it's time to do some hammering.
If the revolutionary army ever needed a prefix in front of its name, it would have to be Dragon!
...........
In one of the secret bases of the world government, the Five Elders secretly summoned Stussy.
"How is the infiltration plan going?"
"He never cares whether his men are loyal or not, so I easily inserted a large number of spies. But at the same time, he values the core members of the Faceless Pirates, and our people are actively gaining combat credits to break into the core group of Faceless Pirates, but so far progress has been slow."
"Speed up the plan, but go without exposing, we will provide you with the appropriate facilities, be sure to break into the core of the Faceless Pirate group as soon as possible, in search of the real Pluto blueprint!"
"This person, 'Faceless' Will, will definitely have a weakness and will have to be found!"
"If he can't be used for our purposes, then he will have to be destroyed!"
"Now that you have gained part of his trust, this is the opportunity, and this mission must be accomplished even if you lose your life!"
"Yes!"
Stussy retires respectfully.
