Cake Island.
The original City Fort, which was big enough to rival a City town, and the countless buildings on the island, have been turned into ruins, and the entire island has almost been destroyed.
In the ruins, Gerd and others set up a temporary camp.
In the follow-up pursuit of the BIGMOM Pirates, Chef Streusen was attacked by Hajrudin and Ficheux Erman and was beaten to death and the remaining cadres were also seriously injured.
BIGMOM herself and the Sweet Commander Cracker died on the battlefield, Katakuri and Charlotte Pudding were successfully captured, and the remaining Sweet Commanders Smoothie and Snack, who were heavily wounded, eventually fled the Cake Island and are now missing.
"They escaped?"
In the makeshift camp, Ross looked at Ficheux Erman and others who had failed to catch up with Smoothie and Snack, with his hands on his chin and said a quiet tone.
Ficheux Erman and others look somewhat ashamed. They were supposed to be able to eliminate Smoothie, Snack and other remaining pirates. However, due to the special nature of Totto Landsea, when they reach the sea, their ship got stuck in the candy made by Perospero and they were unable to pursue them.
And.
During this period, there were a large number of other reinforcements that came from other islands to block them.
Although these small soldiers weren't a threat to them at all but because they were on the sea and their numbers were large, by the time they dealt with the resistance, Smoothie and others have already escaped and they couldn't chase after them.
Ross didn't talk, and no one dared to speak in the field.
Ross, who killed BIGMOM in front of them, is no longer someone who they would dare to stand against. It's a big joke to even think about it. When it comes to important things, even if Fuceux Erman had to worry about it.
"Forget it."
Ross's voice finally broke the silent atmosphere.
He lightly shook his head and stood up.
The two remaining Sweet Commanders are running so he will let them run. Anyway, BIGMOM is dead and just two of them won't be able to make any big waves.
Ross took a step to the top of a relatively high building wreck nearby, overlooking the whole cake Island, he looked at the distant coastal sky with a profound vision:
"From today onward, Totto Landsea is ours."
Seeing that Ross is no longer focused on the running two Sweet Commanders, Ficheux Erman and others were relieved. At the same time, hearing Ross's words, everyone's emotions were surging.
Why is the pirate on the top of the New World called an Emperor?
Because they have their own territory and they ruled an area of the sea like an Emperor, all the islands and countries in their territories belong to them.
Now BIGMOM has been killed in battle, and more than half of the BIGMOM Pirates have been killed or injured, which means that they have completely quit the stage of the New World and they won't be able to return. However, this piece of land that once belonged to BIGMOM Pirates has changed its ownership and become their territory.
"In the future, we will be true Yonkō."
Robin stood under the ruins where Ross stood and said with a soft voice.
There was nothing wrong with her wording. From the moment BIGMOM died, the Goko changed back to Yonkō.
Seven years.
It took them seven years from West Blue to reach here today.
This was a long journey, but for this sea, it is an incredible rise, from being nameless pirates to the Emperor who ruled the New World!
Whitebeard was already a strong pirate before the Great Age of Pirates and after that, he became a pirate that stood at the top of this World, BIGMOM and Hundred Beast Kaido were also pirates before the Great Age of Pirates and they were a terrifying figure in the world. As for Red Hair Shanks, he was once a member of the Roger Pirate.
Whereas.
Ross belongs to a new generation of pirates, he is from a different era then Whitebeard and Kaido.
From the moment when Ross annihilated the BIGMOM Pirates, it also became evident that the era of Whitebeard and others is about to die, and the Grand Line will usher in a new generation of rulers!
"Captain Ross, what about this cake island?"
Laffitte came to the ruin and looked around and headed for Ross.
The Cake Island is the main island of Totto Landsea and the former base of the BIGMOM Pirates, but it has now been destroyed. If they were to rebuild it, it will take a lot of time.
"Rebuild."
Ross thought a little, and responded calmly: "But this will not be our core territory, our core territory will be in the sky."
Now that he has the Totto Landsea as his territory, Sky Island can also move here.
With Ross's current ability, it's not difficult for him to push Birka's Sky island to the top of the Cake Island, not to mention that Fujitora can help with that hard work.
"Understood."
Laffitte was a little shocked and immediately understood the meaning behind Ross's words and agreed with a slight smile on his face.
The Birka island is indeed a place that is suitable as a core territory. Their Ghost Hand Pirates does have the ability to arbitrarily go up and down the island.
"Shiliew will be in charge of dismantling the flags and destroying all the remnants of BIGMOM Pirates," Ross spoke to Shiliew of the Rain.
There must be remnants of the BIGMOM Pirates on other islands in the Totto Landsea. As for the remnants of the BIGMOM Pirates, Ross had no intention of taking them in or letting them go. He has no prisons and other things to held them here. So he will simply execute them all.
The job of executioner was left to Shiliew of the Rain.
"Yes."
Shiliew of the Rain was polishing the Second Generation Ghost Blade. When he heard Ross's words, he grinned and was satisfy as he gets to kill more pirates.
Ross glanced at Shiliew of the Rain and reminded him calmly: "Don't move against the Innocent civilians, don't let me be an Emperor without any people in my territory."
"Understood."
Shiliew of the Rain slightly closed his eyes.
Ross turned to look at Laffitte and said: "We have acquired all the territory of the BIGMOM Pirates and after Shiliew cleaned the remnant of the BIGMOM Pirates, you will handle the people and calm them down."
Laffitte, who has hypnosis and brainwashing ability, will have no problem doing his mission Shilew cleaned the remanent of BIGMOM Pirates.
New World is the sea ruled by Yonkō. People living in the New World know what to do in order to survive. Ross is not worried about disobedience.
"After receiving the monitoring work, I will hand it over to you, Isshou."
Ross turned to look at Fujitora and said: "The BIGMOM Pirates are over, maybe there are some dark forces and pirates who want to fish in troubled water. If anyone dared to invade Totto Landsea, you know what to do with them."
Totto Landsea has been ruled by the BIGMOM Pirates for many years. Under their constant looting, there is a lot of wealth accumulated here. Now that the BIGMOM Pirates are finished, someone might take advantage of this opportunity to go to the edge of the island to profit themselves, he will not allow that to happen.
Whoever dared to do it, they would need to be reminded that the Ghost Hand Pirates are not friendly.
"I will do my best."
Fujitora nods slowly as he holds the sword. The mission is exactly what he is willing to do as it is equivalent to maintaining the security of Totto Landsea and he has no problems with it.
