Chapter 127: Combine The Four Emperors To Form The Strongest Force
"Support?"
Zephyr looked at Yuichi; the phrasing made him feel there was a hidden meaning in Yuichi's words.
The ability of Spirit Vision allowed Yuichi to vaguely sense the doubts in Zephyr's heart.
Currently, the feeling Spirit Vision gave Yuichi was far less powerful than what Asakura Hao possessed. Perhaps it was because his character awakening progress was still too low.
Spirit Vision could only allow Yuichi to vaguely sense Zephyr's mood swings—emotions like happiness, sadness, doubt, or surprise. Right now, Zephyr was full of doubt and curiosity.
Yuichi didn't continue playing charades. He directly said something that shocked Ain, Binz, and the surrounding soldiers.
"I want to join forces with the Four Emperors to form the most powerful force on this sea!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the soldiers stared at Yuichi with wide eyes.
They were all likely thinking: Is this man crazy?
Uniting the Four Emperors to form the most powerful force on the sea... Once the Four Emperors were united, they would indeed be the most terrifying force in existence.
But how could the Four Emperors be united?
None of the Four Emperors were the type to submit to others. It was simply a pipe dream to think those four could work together.
Zephyr's complexion quickly turned extremely gloomy. Rage burned in his heart.
"Yuichi... After you left the Marines, did you lose the heart to uphold justice?"
"If that is the case, leave this old man immediately, before I get angry!"
Zephyr's family had been killed by pirates, yet Yuichi asked him to support a pirate alliance? No matter what this alliance intended to do, it was impossible.
Zephyr's hatred of pirates was well known to Yuichi. Naturally, it was impossible for Yuichi not to have considered this. He already had a reason that would completely convince Zephyr.
Zephyr's sudden anger brought Ain, Binz, and the surrounding soldiers back to their senses. Only then did they remember their leader's deep hatred for pirates. Supporting an alliance with them? It was a thousand percent impossible.
If Black Arm Zephyr succumbed so easily, he wouldn't be Black Arm.
Yuichi looked at Zephyr. "Is Teacher not going to listen to my reasons?"
Hearing this, Zephyr laughed instead. He knew Yuichi; the boy wouldn't act without being absolutely sure.
In other words, Yuichi was confident he could convince him.
This made Zephyr suddenly feel interested. His hatred for pirates could not be eliminated no matter what. How was Yuichi going to convince him?
"Hmph! Then tell this old man. Let's see what kind of reason my proudest disciple has to convince me!"
Zephyr crossed his arms, seemingly convinced that no matter what Yuichi said, he would remain indifferent.
Yuichi opened his mouth. "Uniting the pirates may provide a chance to revive your family."
One sentence.
The speed of speech was neither fast nor slow, the voice neither light nor heavy, but extremely flat.
But with just that short sentence, Zephyr stared at Yuichi with wide eyes.
"What did you say?"
"Uniting the pirates may provide a chance to revive Teacher's family."
Zephyr rushed toward Yuichi in an instant, grabbing Yuichi's collar with both hands, the muscles in his face twitching uncontrollably.
"Are you... telling the truth?"
Yuichi nodded.
"Teacher has noticed it too! That strange Fusion of All Worlds System seems to be omnipotent. It teleported us to another world."
"It even opened up a weird space."
"It prevented the Four Emperors and others from moving freely."
"It can give us the power of another world."
"It can make everyone in the whole world younger and stronger. I think it should have the ability to revive the dead!"
When Yuichi finished speaking slowly, Zephyr loosened his hands. His gloomy face gradually calmed down, and then an indescribable joy crept up his brow. His expression relaxed, and a hopeful smile bloomed on his face.
Hearing Yuichi's logic, Zephyr already believed it in his heart.
That light curtain, that Fusion of All Worlds System, really seemed to be omnipotent. Perhaps resurrecting the dead was just a piece of cake for that thing.
But!
Zephyr looked down at Yuichi again with cold eyes.
"Even if it can revive my family, why must I unite with pirates?"
Having said that, Yuichi casually sat down cross-legged. Zephyr hesitated for a second, then sat cross-legged in front of Yuichi.
The two looked at each other as Yuichi explained slowly.
"Hasn't Teacher figured it out yet?"
"Why were the Marines chosen for World War I?"
"The faction chosen by the opponent in World War I is called the Hidden Leaf Village!"
"Is this just a coincidence?"
"After the opponent was defeated, their combat forces changed. Didn't Teacher think about why they would switch to other powers?"
Speaking of which, Yuichi picked up a stick and drew on the ground.
"World War I!"
"I think it should have been just a simple test! A test of the power of both worlds."
"World War II!"
"It should be called a formal war! It was the first time that the worlds of both sides formally fought each other, and the winning world had the chance to evolve."
"World War III!"
"Plunder Battle. Power plunder after world evolution."
"Three world wars. The faction called Hidden Leaf fought twice! The third time, it rotated to another faction."
Now Zephyr began to follow Yuichi's train of thought. He seemed to have anticipated the guess Yuichi was about to make.
According to Yuichi, the faction representing one's own side would be replaced once it lost. Since there were replacements, the order of appearance shouldn't be random. There had to be some kind of restriction.
If the first war was a test of strength, then the strongest forces from both sides should have come out to test each other. The strongest force naturally represented the apex power of their own world.
Yuichi wanted to join forces with the Four Emperors to form the most powerful force in the Pirate World because... the Marines had been defeated in the narrative sense of the system's selection.
The next rotation would be the strongest force formed by the Four Emperors.
Yuichi wanted to continue, but Zephyr raised his hand to signal Yuichi to stop.
"The old man already understands what you want to do."
Zephyr had a smile on his face.
This smile made Yuichi smile too. "Does this mean Teacher agrees?"
Although Yuichi could try to unite with the Four Emperors by himself, if he ran to them alone without a power base, he would only play a supporting role and have no right to speak.
In that scenario, even if the forces united by the Four Emperors fought on behalf of the Pirate World, Yuichi would have no way to lead the fight. Not to mention the inability to obtain the rewards of the Fusion of All Worlds System. Even the mission of his template system wouldn't be triggered.
Zephyr stood up and threw his cloak to Binz. He looked down at Yuichi.
"Beat me!"
Hearing this, Yuichi froze for a moment. Why did he have to fight when Zephyr had already agreed?
[Task Triggered]
[Compete with Black Arm Zephyr in Haki and Physical Art and defeat him.]
[Task Reward: The awakening progress of the second character template is increased by 5%, and the Host's own hidden ability, Conqueror's Haki awaken.]
