Chapter 408: The Web Tightens
The calm sea became lively again as time passed.
The reason was clear—there were quite a few supernovas this year, coming from all corners of the sea. With so many gathered together, their arrival in the New World was bound to stir up chaos. Although the first half of the Grand Line was considered a paradise for pirates, the strong here were not as formidable as those ahead. Yet, to be named a supernova meant these individuals were the cream of the crop among pirates in the first half of the Grand Line this year.
They were all promising seeds for the future.
Naturally, some powerful forces sought to recruit these supernovas.
"Come to think of it, weren’t the Black Crow Pirates supernovas back then?"
"Ah, yes, I remember it clearly. Even as newcomers, the Black Crow Pirates slaughtered several incredible figures as soon as they entered the New World."
"Right. The Black Crows back then were terrifying, nothing like typical rookies."
"Hahaha, there are quite a few supernovas this time. I wonder if any of them will rise like the Black Crows did. Newcomers never get an easy welcome in the New World."
"Tsk, don’t kid yourself. Not everyone is qualified to become like the Black Crows."
People whispered in taverns, on decks, and across islands.
But in the New World, another matter entirely had caught everyone’s attention.
A piece of explosive news from the Navy was deliberately printed in the Navy’s newspaper and circulated throughout the seas.
