In May of the year 1495 of the Kaiyuan calendar, three months had passed since the Rocks Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates reached a marriage alliance.
During these three months, at Rocks' request and with the help of the Charlotte family, Barbossa firmly established himself in the dark world.
In the dark world, the Rocks Pirates sold various new weapons and technological items that were obsolete by pirate groups, and soon occupied most of the dark world's weapons market.
By selling various weapons and technological items, the Rocks Pirates made a huge fortune.
After gaining a firm foothold in the weapons market, the Rocks Pirates spent a large amount of financial and material resources to secretly establish an extremely powerful intelligence department.
Barbossa placed these intelligence personnel into almost all the major forces on the ocean.
These include the Navy, the World Government, major pirate groups, etc.
The biggest weakness of the Rocks Pirates has also been completely solved.
In addition to standing firm in the dark world, the Rocks Pirates' half-year-long battle to conquer the Etwal Sea has finally come to an end.
With all the members of the Rocks Pirates acting together, all the pirates, gangs, forces of the dark world, and kingdoms in the entire Etowal Sea were destroyed and occupied by the Rocks Pirates.
As a result, the Rocks Pirates became the king of the entire Etwal Sea.
The Rocks Pirates, with Grims, the central island of the Etowal Sea, as their center, rule over the seventy-two island kingdoms in the Etowal Sea, becoming the pirate group with the largest territory in the New World.
The pirate group under his command has also received a huge boost in the past six months.
He once had only ten pirate groups under his command, but within half a year, the number had expanded to forty-two.
The number of pirates under his command also increased from less than 10,000 to 30,000.
Flower Island, Grims.
Today, the Zijinhua Port is crowded with people and is extremely lively.
"Look, that's Lord Moria's flagship!"
"Lord Moria!!!"
"Hahaha! Lord Moria is back today too! That's great!"
"I heard that Lord Moria defeated three pirates with bounties of over 100 million yuan on Pudu Island by himself!"
"I have decided. I want to join Lord Moria's army!"
Moria stood at the bow of the Black Bat, looking at the crowded port and grinning.
"Hey hey hey hey, I haven't been back for half a year! Grims Island is really prosperous now. Guys, when we get back to the island, I'll take you to enjoy it!"
"Ohhhhh! Long live Lord Moria!"
"Hey, isn't this Moria? I didn't expect you to come back today as well."
Just as Moriah and others were cheering and celebrating, Enel floated onto his ship, sat on the mast and teased.
Half a year later, after obtaining Rocks' consent, Eneel led a fleet to the expedition.
During this half year, Enel changed from his former timid nature to doing crazy things on the sea.
With the powerful nature-type Cloud-Cloud Fruit, strong physical skills, and two-color Haki, he sank dozens of pirate ships.
At the same time, due to his ability, he was given the title of King of the Sky who controls the sky.
And because of his active performance, the World Government offered a bounty of 200 million Beli on him, making him another pirate in the Rocks Pirates with a bounty of over 100 million.
"Hey, isn't this little brother Enelu? Hehehe, what a coincidence."
Moriah looked at Enelu with a smile and raised his hand to greet him.
"Humph! You are not allowed to call me little brother! I have a famous name, the King of Heaven! Call me the King of Heaven!"
Enelu snorted in dissatisfaction.
Although he is the weakest in the entire Rocks Pirates, he still doesn't like being called his younger brother.
"Hehehe, I get it, little brother Enelu, from now on I will call you little brother Tianwang!"
Moriah looked at Enelu with a teasing look and said jokingly.
"Asshole! Do you want to duel with me?!"
Veins bulged on Enel's forehead and he looked at Moria fiercely.
However, at this moment, he looked like a tsundere little devil.
"Hey, isn't this little Enel?"
Just as Enel was yelling and threatening Moriah, a huge pirate ship sailed to Moriah's Black Bat.
Sasaki's voice rang in the ears of both of them.
"Asshole! Don't call me brat!"
Enelu glared at Sasaki unhappily.
"Hehehe, Sasaki, I didn't expect you to arrive today too?"
When Moria saw Sasaki, he said with some surprise.
"Hahaha, of course! I can't wait to come back and take a look. How about Moria, let's have a drink later?"
Sasaki was equally happy.
He hadn't seen his friends for half a year and he missed them terribly.
"Hey! Don't forget me!"
When Enelu saw that Moriah and Sasaki actually wanted to abandon him, he immediately shouted unhappily.
Grimsøya, Castle of the Flowers.
"Yohoho, Captain Rocks, Moria-san, Sasaki-san, and Enelu-san have all arrived at the port. Do we need to go greet them?"
Skullhead Brook sat on the sofa on the side, holding a cup of coffee and asked with a chuckle.
"Ah, forget about welcoming him. He's not a stranger."
Rocks smiled, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling street.
"I haven't seen you for half a year. I really miss you. It's just right that everyone is back today. Let's inform the residents of the island to hold a banquet for the whole island tonight."
"Yohoho, that's great. I think everyone will be very happy."
At the port, the Black Bat and the Triceratops slowly docked at the pier, and Moria, Sasaki, and Enelu got off the ship.
"ah!!!!"
"Lord Moriah!!"
"Lord Sasaki!"
"Lord Enelu!"
The people gathered at the dock cheered when they saw Moria, Sasaki, and Enel.
Everyone was cheering the names of Moria, Sasaki, and Enel, as if they were welcoming the heroes who had returned victoriously.
However, to the residents of this island, everyone in the Rocks Pirates is indeed their heroes.
After all, they gave all of them an extremely peaceful and happy life.
And on this ocean, tranquility and peace are the most unattainable things.
"Hehehe, these guys are really enthusiastic."
Moria looked at the enthusiastic people and felt extremely happy.
He waved his arms and kept responding to the people.
"Haha! I never thought that a scumbag pirate like us on the sea would be treated as a hero one day."
Sasaki was also in a good mood.
This was the first time he felt like being treated as a hero and admired by others.
"Humph! You guys are really ignorant. I have seen this kind of scene countless times."
Enelu said in a very arrogant manner.
"Okay, let's go. I guess Boss Rocks has been waiting for us for a long time."
"Hahahaha, Boss Rocks, it feels like I haven't seen you for a long time."
Amid the farewell of countless people, Moria, Sasaki, and Enel slowly walked through the crowd and headed towards Baihua Castle.
