# Chapter 401: Target West Blue
Another month passed.
Navy Headquarters Meeting Room.
"Continue monitoring the Byrnndi Pirates and prepare for war.
That Madman will act soon."
"Yes!"
Amidst a chorus of voices, the meeting concluded.
Kong, however, felt a headache coming on.
For the Marines, it seemed like nothing good had happened in recent years.
Only the results from the Elite Training Camp gave him some expectation.
Monkey D. Dragon only took one year to graduate from the Elite Training Camp; his combat strength was already off the charts.
Sakazuki and Borsalino also graduated simultaneously three months ago, having studied for about a year and a half.
To truly grow up, they still needed training.
What they needed to deal with now was the Byrnndi Pirates.
Currently, the Byrnndi Pirates were mobilizing their forces, constantly consolidating their strength, recalling crewmates stationed on various Island, as well as some Affiliated Pirate Group.
This action caused confusion.
It was a stance of full preparation for war, but consolidating their strength like this made it unclear where Byrnndi World's target was.
Instead, it seemed as though he was preparing to give up his existing Territory.
The Byrnndi Pirates' strange actions made the surrounding Faction hesitant to act rashly.
They secretly moved their military strength closer to the Byrnndi Pirates' Territory, ready to respond to any attack from the Byrnndi Pirates at any time.
The Whitebeard Pirates and the Tyrant Dragon Pirates had the biggest reactions.
The John Pirates, the Silver Axe Pirates, and the Five Peaks Pirates.
The war between these three Pirate Crew and the Flying Pirates was still ongoing.
The Flying Pirates' "Titan" Atlas and Reinhard successfully withstood the stress brought by Silver Axe and Captain John.
The main battle was still the great battle between Shiki "The Golden Lion" and Wang Zhi.
War doesn't end so easily, especially a prolonged great battle like this; it's difficult to decide the outcome in a single fight.
What Shiki needed to achieve was not just defeating Wang Zhi, but also defeating the Five Peaks Pirates.
To make the Five Peaks Pirates defeated Subordinate of the Flying Pirates.
In battle after battle, facing Shiki, Wang Zhi had never fallen into a disadvantage.
Wang Zhi, in his peak, had enough stamina to engage in a great battle with Shiki.
Subtle advantages could not directly determine whether Shiki would achieve victory.
The Battlefield for both sides was the Great Sea.
pirate ships collided and clashed in the surrounding Sea Area, engaging in brutal slaughter.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhi and Shiki continuously fought on the Sea.
Wang Zhi was not an Ability User.
The Longsword in his hand could easily cut through Shiki's Ability Creations.
Shiki flew in the air, engaging in close combat with Wang Zhi using his twin Swords.
Although Shiki wasn't a pure Swordsman, as a Swordsman, one must aim to be the World's Strongest Swordsman.
Shiki was the same.
His defeat at the Sword Tournament a few years ago still bothered him greatly.
It was merely a matter of inferior skill, but how could the arrogant Shiki allow himself to have a weakness?
Wang Zhi was a whetstone.
Shiki's swinging Long Saber became increasingly sharp, a look of excitement on his face.
Regarding the Flying Pirates, as long as the Byrnndi Pirates didn't attack them, the three Pirate Crew wouldn't interfere.
"Pops, what exactly does the Byrnndi Pirates want to do?
Are they preparing to go to war with us?"
Among the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard was surrounded by his sons.
Although he was somewhat confused, looking at them, they seemed somewhat excited, rubbing their fists as if preparing for war.
"I'm not sure, but their target shouldn't be us, nor the Tyrant Dragon Pirates."
Whitebeard's intuition told him that the strangely acting Byrnndi Pirates' target shouldn't be the neighboring Pirate Crew.
And then a few words suddenly flashed in his mind: eliminate all impossibilities, and what remains is likely the Marines.
"But everyone, don't let your guard down.
We could become the target of other Faction at any time."
It hadn't reached the degree where they had to fight.
Even though he doted on his Child, he wouldn't let them sacrifice themselves.
For now, he had no intention of making a move.
At the Byrnndi Pirates' Base Camp.
Nearly twenty thousand Pirate were gathered on the entire Island.
Member of the Byrnndi Pirates, and the Byrnndi Pirates' Affiliated Pirate Group.
All the Pirate excitedly looked at the figure on the Platform, filled with dominance.
The moment they had been waiting for was finally arriving.
Joining the Byrnndi Pirates, wasn't it an acknowledgment of Byrnndi World's powerful Strength and the Byrnndi Pirates' development potential?
Byrnndi World's performance was among the top tier in the Rocks Pirates.
"Hahahaha!"
"My little one, prepare to fight!
Endless treasure awaits us!
Show everyone what true Pirate are like!"
Byrnndi World spread his arms and laughed heartily, his bold voice reaching everyone's ears.
"Hoooh!"
.
.
.
Countless Pirate cheered excitedly, raising their arm, Long Saber, and firearm.
They didn't know exactly where the destination was, but from World's description, it definitely wouldn't disappoint them.
Their blood boiled, and emotions were contagious.
Everyone's heart was filled with fighting spirit.
pirate ships formed a massive Fleet.
Hundred of pirate ship created a strength capable of crushing everything.
Under Byrnndi World's leadership, they continuously sailed towards the Southern Sea Area.
Located in the South, the Tyrant Dragon Pirates were facing a formidable enemy.
Their forces were consolidated, all their strength gathered around Dragon Country, planning to rely on Dragon Country's natural geographical advantage to engage in a great battle with the Byrnndi Pirates.
Zak knew that in the face of the Moa Moa Fruit's terrifying destructive power, any military strength was futile.
"Could that guy World's target really be us?"
The Higher-up of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates gathered together.
Zak frowned, somewhat unable to understand.
The Tyrant Dragon Pirates and the Byrnndi Pirates had always coexisted peacefully, and the Tyrant Dragon Pirates were happy to develop in peace.
The surge in Seastone prices had allowed him to earn more profit.
"I don't think so, Boss.
Why don't you go take a look yourself?
This is too sudden."
Jose suggested.
With their Boss's ability, combined with Dragon Country's natural geography, it could be said that no one could enter Dragon Country's homeland.
On the Great Sea, Zak's Full Beast Form's destructive power was terrifying.
He believed Byrnndi World should be aware of this.
Just then, a Subordinate ran in flustered, "Bad news, Boss!
It seems the Byrnndi Pirates sent a message."
"What message?" Zak exchanged glances with a few Cadre.
"But it's only two words."
The Subordinate took a breath and cautiously glanced at Zak, "'Make way.'
Just those two words."
At this, everyone's gaze fell upon the map.
South of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates was the Calm Belt.
And crossing the Calm Belt?
"It's the West Blue!"
"Then don't worry about the Byrnndi Pirates."
Zak took a deep breath and said slowly.
Although Byrnndi World's attitude was somewhat dominant, he possessed the Strength to back it up.
