Currently, their Limitless Pirates are just starting to develop, far from being the opponent of the current Marine.
Since they cannot afford to provoke the World Government member states, they should slow down for a while and make a move after the Pirate Crew have developed.
Although during the Rocks Pirates era, the Marine and World Government turned a blind eye to the pleas for help from the World Government member states in the New World.
But that was because Rocks was still alive and the Rocks Pirates were too strong.
Now that Rocks is dead and the Rocks Pirates have disbanded, if any Pirate dares to attack the World Government member states.
The World Government and Marine will definitely take action to promote the World Government's prestige.
After all, it's understandable if the World Government couldn't deal with the Rocks Pirates, but if they can't even deal with the remnants of the Rocks Pirates, then the other World Government member states will be disappointed in the World Government.
"However, the Limitless Pirates cannot fight the Marine, but if they unite with a few others who want to expand, they won't need to be afraid!"
Nox thought to himself.
He must occupy the Kingdom of Baikal, a World Government member state, no matter what.
After all, this country stands in the way of Nox's expansion; without removing it, it will always be a stumbling block.
Even if Nox is given a few years to develop, he still wouldn't be able to face the encirclement of two Admirals.
If that's the case, then unite with other Pirates to attack other World Government member states within the New World, forming a temporary alliance of interests.
At that time, even if all the top fighting forces of the Marine are dispatched, they won't be afraid.
However, this matter will only be considered after the other Pirates have expanded to their limit.
After deciding on the expansion, Nox began to gather his subordinates, preparing to expand their territory.
The many members of the Limitless Pirates were all excited when they heard that the Pirate Crew were going to expand.
Expansion means plunder, and plunder means money. Don't Pirates love money?
"Hahaha, Samurai, follow the General out of the country and expand outwards!"
Ashura Doji was equally excited, leading the two thousand Samurai from Wano Country to set off with Nox.
Nox specifically had some of the Samurai from Wano Country participate. Among these Samurai, several hundred had ill will towards him, and the rest were radicals.
Soon, the Limitless Pirates were ready to go, eight pirate ships, over eight thousand people!!
"Little ones, let's go!!"
Nox stood at the bow of the ship, speaking loudly with high spirits!!
"Hahaha, let's go!!!"
Following Nox's call, the Pirates cheered one after another.
Such a large movement by the Limitless Pirates naturally couldn't escape the notice of those who were paying attention to the Limitless Pirates.
Especially the three non-World Government member states, Beloso, Preis, and Jeremy, they were all neighbors of the Limitless Pirates and couldn't help but pay attention.
Sure enough, as soon as the Limitless Pirates began to move out, these three kingdoms were like ants on a hot pan.
Kingdom of Baikal Royal Palace:
"Your Majesty, the Limitless Pirates have moved out. Could they be coming for our Kingdom of Baikal?"
The minister asked with some concern.
"According to the World Government's intelligence, the target of the Limitless Pirates is the three non-World Government member states around us, not our Kingdom of Baikal."
King Soman of the Kingdom of Baikal rubbed his brow and said.
Before the Limitless Pirates took action, Nox had already sent people to release the news that their target was not the Kingdom of Baikal.
This was to stabilize the Kingdom of Baikal, and also to stabilize the Marine and World Government, showing that he had no intention of attacking World Government member states.
"Since the Limitless Pirates have no ill intentions towards us, I wonder if we can go through the World Government and have the Limitless Pirates release the Third Prince."
A noble who supported the Third Prince suggested.
"The Limitless Pirates have sent someone to deliver a message. They will release Garcia for a ransom of three hundred million Berries."
"Go prepare the ransom, and bring Garcia back as soon as possible."
King Soman of the Kingdom of Baikal said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The minister immediately replied upon hearing this.
Looking at it this way, the Limitless Pirates should not have a conflict with their Kingdom of Baikal.
After all, the Limitless Pirates have shown goodwill by releasing their Prince, so the World Government saying that the Limitless Pirates' target is not their Kingdom of Baikal should be correct.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that this was all Nox's delaying tactic. Anyway, that so-called Third Prince was useless in his hands, so he might as well make use of him.
"What should we do? The Limitless Pirates are going to expand, and the first to bear the brunt are our three countries!"
"How about contacting the Kingdom of Baikal? The Kingdom of Baikal is a World Government member state, and the Limitless Pirates shouldn't dare to attack it."
"I tried before, but that guy Soman said it had nothing to do with their Kingdom of Baikal, so he ignored it."
"How foolish! If the Limitless Pirates occupy all three of our kingdoms, how could they not attack the Kingdom of Baikal? Unless the Limitless Pirates don't want to expand anymore!"
"Then what should we do now? We non-World Government member states have no human rights, let alone the protection of the Marine and World Government. Even if the three of us are combined, we can't defeat the Limitless Pirates."
"What else can we do? Surrender quickly or run away with our treasures!!"
"..."
The Kings of the three kingdoms, Beloso, Preis, and Jeremy, were discussing through den den mushi how to deal with the Limitless Pirates.
But after a call, they couldn't find any solution.
They all wanted to run, but where could they run to in the New World?
The New World is full of Pirates and is in chaos. Taking so much treasure out of the kingdom without strong power to protect it is tantamount to showing off and seeking death in front of the Pirates.
"Kano, Karoo, Bullet, the three of you lead three pirate ships to Preis Kingdom. Ashura Doji, Marley, the two of you lead three pirate ships to Jeremy Kingdom. You must take down those two kingdoms for me!"
"If you encounter any enemies you can't defeat, immediately send a message to me, and I will help you deal with them!"
After setting sail, Nox divided his forces into three, attacking three kingdoms simultaneously.
The previous plan was to attack the kingdoms one by one, which was very stable.
But Nox thought about it later. If he led the team to plunder every time, there would be no pressure on Bullet and the others.
In the long run, they wouldn't gain any strength, so Nox temporarily changed his mind.
Anyway, there were many mirrors left on their pirate ships, and Nox could go to support them at any time.
"Yes, Captain!!"
Ashura Doji and the others were very excited upon hearing Nox's words. After all, it was a kingdom, and if they could take it down with their own strength, it would prove their power.
They wouldn't miss such an opportunity, and they had even made up their minds in their hearts that no matter what, they had to defeat their opponents with their own strength.
"Hahaha, let's go straight to the Royal Palace!"
Jeremy Kingdom was the closest. With Ashura Doji and Marley as the main force, Mink Tribe leopard man Marcus and Fishman Gerald as support, the four Vice Captains led over three thousand people and immediately rushed off the ships, heading directly towards the Royal Palace.
"Pirates, don't even think about plundering Jeremy Kingdom!"
General Avi of Jeremy Kingdom solemnly led numerous kingdom soldiers to block Ashura Doji and the others.
"Hahahaha, if you want to stop our Limitless Pirates, then come and defeat me!"
Ashura Doji laughed loudly and rushed towards Avi, who was standing at the forefront.
"One Sword Style · Iaido · Fierce Tiger Unleashed!!"
The di mie sword, covered in Ryuo, was instantly drawn. As the sword slashed out, a tiger's roar suddenly sounded, and the slash, like a fierce tiger, rushed towards Avi.
"Pressing Ton Slash!!"
Avi held a giant sword, also covered in Busoshoku. Facing the tiger-like slash, he showed no weakness and also swung his sword to slash upwards.
"Hmm? Something's not right!!"
Ashura Doji saw that his slash was actually cut down by the opponent, but he clearly felt that the opponent's sword was not strong, so why could it cut down his slash?
"Ton Weight Slash!"
Avi didn't give Ashura Doji any time to think. After cutting down the slash, Avi suddenly approached, and the heavy sword in his hand slashed down fiercely.
"Clang!!!"
Ashura Doji held his sword to block, but found that the heavy pressure on the heavy sword made it impossible for him to block, and he was sent flying back over ten meters by the opponent's sword slash!
"The power of a Devil Fruit!!"
After close contact, Ashura Doji knew that the opponent's attack carried the strength amplification of a Devil Fruit. That power instantly increased the weight of the opponent's giant sword by a lot.
Ashura Doji guessed correctly. Avi had eaten the Supa Supa no Mi, a Paramecia type Devil Fruit, which could increase the weight of himself or anything he touched up to ten thousand tons!
"Meteor Slash!!"
Avi, having gained the advantage, did not let up. After sending Ashura Doji flying back, he suddenly leaped up, and then quickly descended from the air, carrying the ton-weight pressure and slashing towards Ashura Doji's head.
"Soru!!!"
Ashura Doji knew he couldn't take it head-on and immediately used the Rokushiki Soru he had learned to evade the attack.
"Bang!!!"
When Avi's giant sword landed, the ground suddenly cracked open from the tip of the giant sword to dozens of meters forward, forming a huge ground fissure.
Ashura Doji used the speed of Soru and had already approached Avi before he could react.
"One Sword Style · Cross Slash!!"
Two sword shadows, like flowing light, quickly flashed by. The powerful Ryuo Haki broke through the Busoshoku defense on Avi's body, leaving a cross-shaped sword mark on Avi's chest and sending him flying out.
"Your Devil Fruit power can only exert its maximum effect when attacking. At other times, it's not very useful!"
Ashura Doji looked at Avi, who was flying backward, and said lightly.
After just a few exchanges, Ashura Doji had already seen the opponent's weakness.
