Chapter 441: Famous throughout the sea

In the sky tens of miles away from the Queen Mama Chanter,

Zhang Jie's phantom-like body slowly solidified—returning to the real world from the Devouring Space.

As soon as he appeared, the omnipresent gravity permeating the space threatened to pull him down from the sky.

Hum.

The next instant, the micro-planet in Zhang Jie's dantian rotated,

and an electromagnetic force equal in magnitude to the gravity was emitted, canceling out the gravity and allowing him to float in the air.

"Being able to fly is really quite nice."

Zhang Jie nodded with satisfaction.

In a world like the Pirate King World, where ninety percent is submerged by seawater,

and he himself is a Devil Fruit ability user "hated by the sea," the strategic value of flight ability goes without saying.

"But I still need to add a layer of insurance."

Zhang Jie's mind stirred, and countless black nano-particles surged out from the Devouring Space, turning into a set of clothes, boots,

and gloves, a black trench coat that covered his entire body except for his head.

In this way, even if he accidentally touched seawater or Seastone, he wouldn't be restrained.

After all, the sea/Seastone restrains the ability user themselves; what does it have to do with items created by my ability?

If that were really the case, why would everyone use Haki when facing ability users?

Wouldn't it be more convenient and quick to just use a sheepskin bag to hold a few bags of seawater?

The only problem is that this is equivalent to using the ability at all times, which also consumes physical strength at all times.

For those ability users whose physical strength isn't strong enough, this is a huge consumption.

But Zhang Jie, through the blessing and training of the Shared Space, had long since become a physical monster, a specialty of the Pirate World,

capable of fighting for ten days and ten nights at a time. This little consumption was just a drop in the bucket.

"Now, first leave Totto Land."

Zhang Jie determined his current action goal.

Since he had already refused Big Mom's recruitment, staying in Totto Land, which was Big Mom's territory, would be too eye-catching.

He didn't want to have another bladder-testing match with Big Mom that had no benefits other than wasting time.

After all, as a pirate emperor who practices absolute dictatorship,

Big Mom would absolutely not allow a powerhouse like Zhang Jie, who could shake her rule, to wander around in her territory.

Moreover, Big Mom wasn't brainless. If she were to go to war with Zhang Jie again,

she would inevitably bring Katakuri and other Xia Luote Family officers to have a righteous… uh, evil gang-up.

And with the Xia Luote Family being almost entirely composed of ability users,

Zhang Jie couldn't be sure if Big Mom was hiding some Devil Fruit capable of cracking his intangibility ability.

At that time, if he were to take on the entire Big Mom Pirates alone,

even if he could rely on the Black God Suit's indestructible defense to not die, he would inevitably be in a sorry state.

It would be better to quit while he was ahead and settle the score after his strength had advanced further.

"World, here I come."

Zhang Jie opened his arms, as if embracing the whole world.

……

The events that occurred in the Big Mom Pirates, even with an island being destroyed, were too big a commotion

to be hidden at all, and were soon transmitted back by the moles buried in Totto Land by various forces.

And the reason the intelligence was transmitted so quickly was thanks to the magical creature capable of wireless calls—the Den Den Mushi.

If it weren't for these magical little creatures that looked like snails,

in the Pirate World, where the technological gap is huge and most islands are still stuck in "transportation relies entirely on walking, entertainment relies entirely on hands,

and communication relies entirely on shouting," the transmission of intelligence wouldn't be so smooth.

……

New World, Wano Country, on an island whose appearance is that of a giant skull,

with horn-like structures growing on it, and whose overall shape is like the skull of a

giant creature, a deafening roar came:

"Linlin, has your strength declined to the point where you can't even suppress a newcomer who has never been heard of?

It seems you can no longer sit on the throne of Pirate Emperor!

Only I, Kaido, am the new Pirate King after Roger!

When that time comes, I will launch a massive war!

A massive war that will affect the New World, Paradise, the Four Seas, and even the Red Line!"

A blue dragon hundreds of meters long flew out from Onigashima, drilled into the clouds,

and rode the wind and thunder, speeding toward the direction of the Big Mom Pirates.

……

"Pops, Pops, something big has happened to the Big Mom Pirates!"

In the sea area occupied by the Whitebeard Pirates, on a massive sailing ship that looked like a giant white whale,

voluminous and imposing, a tall, lean man wearing a purple jacket,

sporting a golden punk hairstyle, and with a Whitebeard Pirates tattoo on his chest,

was running with a piece of intelligence toward a man sitting squarely in the middle of the deck,

wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with a brown vest casually thrown over it,

who was taller even when sitting than ordinary people were standing, and exuded the aura of a powerhouse that could capture one's soul.

And the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the crescent-like long mustache on his face.

The only pity was that this majestic man, who should have been roaring at the mountains and rivers, was covered in IV drips.

Without a doubt, this massive sailing ship that looked like a white whale was the flagship of one of the Four Emperor pirate crews

—the Whitebeard Pirates, the Moby Dick, known as the "King of Ships."

The man with the golden punk-style hairstyle was the possessor of the Zoan-type, Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Model,

Phoenix form, also known as "The Phoenix," "Whitebeard's right-hand man,"

and a great pirate with a bounty of 1.374 billion Berries, Ma Erke, the first division commander and ship doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates.

As for the majestic man with the iconic crescent-like mustache,

he was naturally the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the "Four Emperors" of the New World,

the possessor of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit capable of triggering destructive forces like earthquakes and tsunamis,

Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, known as the "World's Strongest Man."

Looking at Ma Erke, who had run over in a hurry, Whitebeard laughed heroically:

"Ha, Ma Erke, what big event has made you so anxious?"

Ma Erke didn't care about the teasing in Whitebeard's words,

ran to Whitebeard in two or three steps, and held the intelligence in his hand high:

"Pops, something big has happened, something really big has happened!"

Seeing Ma Erke so anxious, Whitebeard became a bit interested and reached out to take the intelligence:

"I'd like to see what big event has actually happened?"

"Gu ha ha, an interesting little kid has really appeared on the sea!"

After taking the intelligence and taking in Zhang Jie's affairs in Totto Land, Whitebeard laughed out loud.

"Pops, what happened?"

At this moment, hearing Whitebeard's hearty laughter, the possessor of the Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Diamond-Diamond Fruit,

who could turn parts of his body into diamond and possessed extremely strong physical defense,

known as the "Diamond Shield" of the Whitebeard Pirates, the third division commander, "Diamond" Jozu, walked out of the cabin.

"Here, take a look and you'll know."

Whitebeard waved his hand and threw the intelligence in his hand to Jozu.

Jozu turned his wrist and easily caught the intelligence thrown by Whitebeard, which could have blasted a hole in the cabin.

After reading it for a few moments, a look of emotion appeared on his face:

"He really is an incredible newcomer."

As someone who had challenged Pops in the past, was then subdued by Pops, and finally joined the Whitebeard Pirates,

he knew very well the gold content of Big Mom, this pirate emperor—she was a monster among monsters who had fought her way out from countless pirates in the world,

and had climbed to the top stepping on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. ===== CHAPTER 442 =====
