One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 227
New World, Grimms, Bafaba Hall
Barrett, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin stared at each other, and their invisible auras clashed continuously. The entire banquet hall was plunged into a deathly silence under the impact of their auras.
After a while…
“Hahaha! You two are quite something!” Barrett suddenly burst into laughter, withdrew his aura, and put his arms around Kaido and Charlotte Linlin’s shoulders.
“You two, you really live up to your reputation as old-timers who have come from the previous era. I respect both of you!”
Kaido and Charlotte Linlin shook off Barrett’s arms and exchanged glances. “Hmph! I don’t need you, a junior, to respect me, Barrett!”
Charlotte Linlin glared at Barrett with a hostile expression. “Barrett, cut the age nonsense; I’m not buying it.” Kaido retorted casually and then sat down, picked up a bottle of wine from the table, and started drinking.
“Mmm, mmm, mmm! I’ve heard that your wine is excellent, but I didn’t expect it to be this delicious.”
“Hahaha, feel free to enjoy it. We have plenty of wine.” Barrett grinned and sat down next to Kaido, clinking his bottle with Kaido and Charlotte Linlin.
“Hahaha, Barrett, haven’t seen you in so long!” Charlotte Linlin, who seemed more relaxed, walked towards Barrett with a cheerful smile.
“We haven’t seen each other in over a decade!” Kaido glanced at Barrett, unable to hide his annoyance.
“Come on, Kaido, my man. How have you been? I’ve heard you’ve been making quite a name for yourself in Wano lately.”
“Enough with the small talk. Get to the point. I’m a busy man.” Kaido was clearly impatient.
“Haha, come on, Kaido. Let’s not rush things. If Locke has invited us here, there must be something very interesting to discuss, right?” Charlotte Linlin chimed in, insinuating.
Locke raised an eyebrow and grinned. “Yes, indeed. The reason I gathered everyone here today is for something quite significant.”
With his arms stretched out, Locke continued, “Our Locke Pirates are preparing to integrate the entire Ettwohl Sea and establish a brand new country!”
“This will be a nation of complete freedom, peace, happiness, and prosperity, under the control of the Locke Pirates!”
“Within this nation, all pirates will have the same legal rights as ordinary citizens, and everyone will receive our Locke Pirates’ protection.”
“Starting today, the Ettwohl Sea will be renamed the Locke Federation!”After Locke’s words, the entire banquet hall fell into a stunned silence.
All the pirates present couldn’t believe what they were hearing. They hadn’t expected Locke to make such an announcement.
However, after the initial shock, a great celebration erupted. Everyone knew that Locke’s decision would have a massive impact on the world.
From now on, the Locke Pirates would completely control a quarter of the New World’s sea territory, making them the undisputed rulers.
Locke had been well aware of the consequences of his decision even before making it. He knew that a new era was coming, and he intended to claim a significant part of the New World well before the world-altering events began.
