Pirate Death Arrives.

During the Battle of Marineford, although the Whitebeard Pirates suffered heavy losses, the remaining strength is not weak.

There were even many capable squad captains who survived.

The most important thing is that the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates, the vice-captain, Marco, was slightly injured but still alive.

In terms of his strength.

As long as he doesn't meet the absolute core figures in the navy and the other three sea overlords in the new world, he is almost, um... not invincible, but at least invincible.

What's more, Marco's influence in the Whitebeard Pirates is almost second only to Whitebeard.

As long as he wanted, he could still combine the remaining power of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, he did not do so, and did not deliberately form a group to act as Whitebeard's replacement.

Why is that?

The reason is also very simple.

First of all, this has to do with Marco's own personality.

Like Whitebeard in his later years, he had no intention of continuing to fight for supremacy on the sea.

And Whitebeard can almost be said to be his only hope.

In order to protect their evacuation, the other party died in the Navy Headquarters. As a "son", Marco's heart also died. His only wish is to spend the rest of his life protecting Whitebeard's hometown, Sphinx.

And in fact, he did just that.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another very important reason, which is also the key reason why he is unwilling to go to sea.

Ace, dead!

Whitebeard has always known Ace's identity and wanted to train him to become the next Pirate King.

Marco naturally fully supports this.

However, once Whitebeard died, once Ace, the designated successor, died, who could Marco support?

There is absolutely no future or hope in sight.

It can't be him, right?

Do not make jokes.

He really doesn't have the ambition to dominate.

And this is the real reason why Marco chose to retire.

At this point, the Whitebeard Pirates were leaderless and in disarray, and were already on the decline.

The top pirate group in the entire pirate world seemed to be becoming a thing of the past.

This is the root of the problem.

The remaining forces of the Whitebeard Pirates are still strong.

Although not among the top ones.

But it is also the most powerful pirate group under the other emperor-level pirate groups.

The problem is that those in the Whitebeard Pirates who can stand up are unwilling to do so.

Without support, in this new world where competition is particularly fierce, one will only be slowly eaten away.

On the other hand, the Big Mom Pirates.

to be frank.

Even without Big Mom, they would only lose a top-level fighter, and the normal circulation would not be affected too much.

First of all, you need to understand the composition structure of the Big Mom Pirates.

Almost all of its core members are descendants of Big Mom.

They all have the same bloodline.

This also indirectly reflects the power of Big Mom's genes.

Logically speaking, under this structure, the Big Mom Pirates should be unprecedentedly united.

It should even exceed the verbal father-son relationship of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, the reality is quite the opposite.

Unlike the harmonious Whitebeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates are filled with all kinds of open and covert struggles and darkness. On the surface, nothing may be visible between them, but the fighting in secret is extremely fierce.

The main reason lies with Big Mom.

She was often moody in her treatment of her offspring, and often even a little too cruel.

Big Mom didn't see them as human beings at all, but more as cold tools.

Her bad character will also indirectly affect the next generation.

This causes their three views to be distorted to a certain extent.

to be frank.

There are really few truly normal ones among her offspring.

Moreover, many people are filled with fear and disgust towards Big Mom.

When Big Mom goes crazy, she can really eat people.

This even includes her offspring.

Many people are clear about this.

This is also the reason why it is said that without Big Mom, the Big Mom Pirates might be better off!

With her around, there is only oppression among all nations.

Big Mom would go crazy from time to time, like a time bomb that could get out of control at any time and bring about a huge disaster.

After all, as one of the Four Emperors, their strength is simply not something that ordinary people can contend with head-on!

In the Big Mom pirate group, only Katakuri can barely cope with it.

And there is no big mom.

IWC is still able to operate stably.

This is mainly related to Katakuri's extremely high influence in the pirate group.

Of course, not everyone is convinced by Kadok.

The other 'four generals' in the Big Mom Pirates are not just for show.

There is also the eldest son of the Charlotte family, Charlotte Perospero. That guy has great ambitions and has always regarded himself as the next leader of the Big Mom Pirates.

At the same time, he also regards Katakuri as a potential competitor.

But.

In the world of pirates, strength is the key after all.

In the Big Mom pirate group, Katakuri is definitely the strongest except for Big Mom.

His observation Haki has even reached the level of 'predicting the future'.

Wanting to defeat him is the same as Marco. In the New World, no one except the Four Emperors can do it.

Plus his terrifying influence in the Charlotte family.

As long as those ambitious guys can be intimidated, the Big Mom Pirates can be stabilized.

Moreover, completely different from the current Whitebeard Pirates, they did not suffer much loss of manpower at all.

As long as they can control the situation, and as long as the other two emperor-level pirate groups, especially that guy Kaido, do not take action, then they will be invincible.

A strong military force is the key to their continued survival.

The thirty-five islands of Wan Guo form a tight whole.

A difficult one, P Plus support.

It is extremely difficult for other pirate groups to attack.

And this is the crux of the problem!

However, after many twists and turns, Big Mom was finally released by the navy.

This operation is a bit strange though.

However, it did frighten those pirate groups that were secretly eyeing and hesitating whether to launch an attack on Wan Guo.

This naturally includes the ambitious guy Kaido.
