Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2718 The day we meet will be your death day!

Chapter 2718 The day we meet will be your death day!

The Four Souls World, Noah's Ark, the Void Palace, all are silent.

Inside the magnificent yet empty hall.

The throne high above, representing the supreme eternity and creation, and the nineteen radiant 'divine blades' before it, exude a suffocating, layered pressure.

at the same time.

Beneath the three tiers of red carpet, four figures stood like majestic mountains.

"The Temple of the God of War, the God of War who shattered spacetime, Edward Newgate."

"The Temple of the God of War, the Martial God of War, Kaido."

"The Temple of the Star Gods, the God of Collapsing Stars, Boros."

"Sword Saint Hall, Sky Sword Saint, Shiki."

The four men's loud voices echoed in every corner of the hall.

They possessed a pride and domineering aura that they could not conceal even in submission.

"Greetings, Lord Im!!!"

As soon as the words were spoken, they all knelt down on one knee.

If these four were placed in the outside world, any one of them could make the ocean, or even the entire planet, tremble with a stomp of their foot.

At this moment, however, he lowered his head and offered his loyalty and respect to the figure on the throne.

Im sits enthroned on the Void Throne of Eternity and Creation.

Golden eyes looked down indifferently.

"Get up."

The voice was calm yet clear, reaching the ears of the four people.

"I will obey Lord Im's will!"

The four men stood up as instructed, and although they relaxed their posture somewhat, they still maintained a respectful attitude.

They were all waiting for the reason for the summons.

Im didn't beat around the bush either, getting straight to the point:

"M summoned you here for matters concerning the Galactic Empire and the Universal Federation."

Upon hearing the names of these two forces, the four people's eyes flickered slightly.

Im slowly recounted the plan he had previously conceived.

"The World Government will announce at this World Conference that it will publicly support 'adventurers' to enter space, providing them with spaceships and supplies free of charge or at a low cost, and teaching them relevant technologies and knowledge."

"But besides these middle and lower-level people, we also need real strongmen to tear apart the order of the Galactic Empire and the Cosmic Federation, to plunder, to conquer, to expand their power, and to plunge their star systems into chaos."

Im's gaze swept over the four of them, and his tone became meaningful.

"And that's exactly what you used to be best at."

"Each of them leads a space fleet, acting as 'adventurers' in reality as 'pirates'."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell into a brief silence.

Return to old business?

Be a pirate in space?

This is a significant achievement for the four individuals who were once pirate emperors and cosmic overlords.

It is indeed a familiar old profession.

However, times have changed, and my mindset and environment are now very different.

Boros was the first to raise his head.

The large, single eye on his face showed no hesitation.

Only pure steadfastness.

"Lord Im, please forgive me for refusing."

This was the leader of the Dark Matter Pirates who once roamed the universe.

The answer at this moment was decisive.

"Oh?"

Im did not get angry, but calmly looked him straight in the eye and said, "Reason."

"When I first formed the pirate crew, it was neither for treasure nor for power."

Boros's voice was filled with arrogance and persistence.

"The sole purpose is to find an opponent with whom I can have a truly exhilarating battle, and to dispel the inner emptiness brought about by invincibility."

As he said this, a fanatical glint appeared in Boros's eyes, a thirst for battle.

"But the starfish has the 'Valley of God,' where there are many powerful figures who can get my blood pumping, as well as goals I can chase and enemies waiting in the future."

"Since what you desire most is right under your feet."

"Why should I waste any more time in the dull and tedious interstellar space?"

Yes, for Boros, the long interstellar journey was torture.

Only intense combat gives meaning to life.

Im nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

Indeed, I only considered Boros's previous identity, but overlooked what he was really pursuing.

For a martial arts fanatic like this, the current starfish is paradise.

“In that case, I won’t force you.” Im’s gaze shifted to the next person.

Kaido's brows were furrowed, as if he were engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

On the one hand, the temptation of unrestrained freedom in the universe is indeed considerable.

But on the other hand, a certain obsession in his heart was pulling him back.

After hearing Boros's statement, Kaido gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Lord Im, I also refuse."

His eyes flashed with a fierce, belligerent light.

"While becoming a pirate overlord in space sounds appealing, I prefer grand, world-class wars."

"Over the years I've realized that being a pirate is just small-time stuff, even if my activities expand to the galaxy."

"Since joining the World Government, I have witnessed the scale of cross-border warfare."

"I knew that only by staying in Haixing would I have more opportunities to participate in larger and more brutal wars in the future."

"Therefore, I hope to stay on Starfish, where I can improve my strength and be ready to fight powerful enemies for the World Government at any time."

This is Kaido. If Boros was a battle maniac, then he is a war maniac.

He does yearn for freedom, adventure, and pirates, but if he had to make a choice...

Then the battlefield of mountains of corpses and seas of blood is the only answer.

A hint of surprise flashed in Im's eyes, then he understood.

It seems that the World Government's conquests over the years have thoroughly spoiled their appetite, and they no longer have any respect for pirates.

"allow."

Im naturally wouldn't force anyone on such matters.

At that moment, a voice, though lowered in volume, still carried a hint of laughter, suddenly broke the atmosphere in the hall.

"That's a good thing!"

Shiki looked excited.

Those sharp eyes seemed to reflect a vast galaxy.

"Lord Im!"

"Unlike them, I am a born pirate."

"Since there is a wider 'sky' with countless unknown planets there."

"How could I, the 'Golden Lion,' miss this opportunity?"

Shiki suddenly opened his arms wide, as if to embrace the starry sea, releasing his boundless energy.

"What Galactic Empire? What Space Federation!"

"I will lead the newly strengthened Golden Lion Pirate Fleet, which I have personally built up, to show them what's what."

"What does 'One Piece' even mean?!"

The life of having complete freedom and embarking on adventures is the romance that this 'flying pirate' pursues.

For Shiki, ambition and freedom are indeed ingrained in his bones.

I just feel a little regretful that we didn't have that man named Roger as our opponent.

"very good."

Im nodded slightly; Shiki's choice was within his expectations.

He could almost see the other person becoming the 'Space Pirate Emperor' in the future.

Finally, the gaze fell on Edward Newgate.

The former 'world's strongest man' had a complicated expression at this moment.

The idea of ​​going on an adventure in space and rebuilding the 'Whitebeard Pirates' certainly stirred his emotions.

But for him, wealth, fame, and territory were never the top priorities.

"Lord Im."

Newgate took a deep breath and spoke slowly, his voice deep and resonant.

"My family is the only person I care about most in my life."

He looked up, his eyes sincere: "Could you please give me some time?"

"I want to go back and talk to my children."

This is Whitebeard.

No matter what, his family is always his weakness, but also his armor.

"can."

Im is not in a hurry; it is a long-term plan.

"This matter is still in the planning stage. Go back and think it over."

"And it won't be long before there's a place where you need to go."

"My Lord Sheim is understanding."

Newgate breathed a sigh of relief and bowed upwards again to show his respect.

Having explained everything, Im said no more.

"Go away."

The figure on the Void Throne had already vanished into starlight.

The oppressive aura that had made the four of them feel tense in the main hall receded like a receding tide.

The four men straightened up, looked at each other, and had different expressions.

“Worororo——”

"Whitebeard, you're still so fussy."

Kaido glanced at the other man sideways and teased him in a mocking tone, "Do you have to go home and ask your children about something like this?"

"Goo la la la la!"

Edward Newgate wasn't bothered.

Their years of interaction have transformed them from former enemies into comrades-in-arms.

He turned around laughing: "Someone like you wouldn't understand."

"If you don't have family by your side, you won't find any joy in doing anything."

Kaido retorted as he walked away, "Bullshit! I have a daughter, my own daughter!"

Boros didn't even glance at the two of them, showing no intention of participating in the conversation.

He wants to return to 'Valley of God' to continue fighting against various time-space projections.

Shiki, on the other hand, was quite enthusiastic: "Since neither of you are going, then I'll take this 'Space Pirate King'!"

"Don't get carried away, Golden Lion."

Kaido snorted coldly: "Be careful not to capsize outside."

"How can you be so sure you won't run into someone like Cheetah or Saitama again?"

"The day you're unlucky enough to mess with someone is the day you die!"

Shiki's expression changed drastically upon hearing those two names.

Indeed, it has been proven that there are not many, but there are also quite a few, powerful beings in the universe.

Some of them are even ridiculously strong.
