Chapter 106: - 106: The Sudden Upheaval in the New World
Each of these individuals possesses an immensely powerful and terrifying Devil Fruit ability. If he could bring them under his command, then within ten years, he would unify the New World without even lifting a finger!
That Supernova, Brook—how did he get so lucky? Not only has he recruited such formidable crew members, but his own Devil Fruit also seems incredibly powerful. A Soul-type Devil Fruit, perhaps?
With this realization, Rocks’ attention began to shift away from Golden Lion Shiki and toward the Hell Pirates. They, too, had a flying pirate ship!
Their value had now completely surpassed Shiki’s strategic worth!
But as the ruler of the seas, Rocks declared that he wanted both the Hell Pirates and Golden Lion Shiki! The one who would reign supreme over the New World could only be him—Rocks D. Xebec!
However, when it came to intelligence, the Rocks Pirates were undeniably inferior to the Vesper Pirates, who had dominated the New World for years. Even the underground newspaper, the World Dark News, belonged to Vesper now.
Rocks often relied on intelligence from the World Dark News, which was run by its president, Kandor. This was an unacceptable situation for him.
Rocks was a combat genius, but his ability to manage and expand his forces lagged far behind Vesper’s. He had always believed in brute force, yet even he could now see how vital a strong intelligence network was.
He wanted to destroy Vesper and take over the World Dark News for himself!
Right now, it felt as if the Rocks Pirates were being closely monitored by Vesper. Many of their actions were observed by those damned news vultures.
From now on, every time he saw a news vulture, he’d order his crew to shoot it down! He’d rather let the Marines track his movements than allow Vesper to know his sailing routes!
