Chapter 322: Chapter 426-430
Chapter 426 Offended This Old Man and Still Want to Leave
Blue Electric Arc permeated around Nicholas, making the surrounding air crackle with electricity.
Faintly, one could see the smile on Nicholas's face.
Nicholas's sudden arrival made Zephyr frown deeply for a moment.
Although Sengoku had mentioned to him that Nicholas was different from other Pirates, in Zephyr's view, a Pirate is a Pirate, and their positions could never be the same.
As for who Jiraiya was that the other party mentioned, Zephyr didn't know, but he could be sure that the other party was speaking to him.
Bang! After punching Weevil back again with a Fist, Zephyr looked at Nicholas with a serious expression.
"Thunder God Nicholas, what do you want to do?!"
"Don't worry, I have no interest in you Navy who just entered the New World. I was just passing by here when I saw the battle below and came over out of curiosity. You guys continue. If you don't need Help, I'll just watch and leave."
Nicholas said sincerely to Zephyr. For him, if Zephyr wanted him to Help, then he really wouldn't mind twisting off Weevil's Head and giving it to Zephyr as a Gift. After all, Mr. Jiraiya is still very much missed.
As Nicholas's Words fell, Zephyr's brow furrowed even deeper. Obviously, he would not believe the nonsense of Nicholas, this Pirate.
Even the Marines around him became more vigilant.
After all, this Thunder God who dominates the New World in front of them seemed a bit unintelligent. And how dangerous an unintelligent Weapon with terrifying Military Force was, was self-evident.
Moreover, Nicholas's reputation, along with the major Things he had caused in recent Years, had already made these Marines subconsciously regard Nicholas as a terrifying Enemy in their Inner Thoughts.
Facing the expressions of the surrounding Marines as if they were looking at Wild Beasts, and Zephyr's vigilant Look, Nicholas was also a bit helpless. Although he had opened a partial God's Perspective, it didn't mean that these Pirates had also opened it. So who was the Enemy and who might be a Friend was really difficult for them to distinguish.
Even Sengoku, who had conveyed a lot of information to each other, Nicholas believed that the other party was definitely also wary of him.
"Nicholas, it's Bakkin! Do you still remember our glorious Years in the Rocks Pirates back then?"
And with Nicholas's arrival, Bakkin seemed to have grasped at Straws, calling out to Nicholas. Obviously, with Weevil being unilaterally suppressed by Zephyr, if they could win over Nicholas, this Top-Tier Combat Power, then the battle situation would be reversed in an instant.
"Oh, it's Bakkin, 200 Million Volt: Divine Punishment!"
Seeing Nicholas Nicholas's indifferent Eyes, Bakkin suddenly realized something was wrong.
But before her Words could come out of her mouth, she saw a Lightning Light fall directly from the Sky. Immediately after, there was a Rumbling Sound, and Electric Light spread across the Deck, illuminating Bakkin's surroundings for three feet, making it extremely dazzling.
"Mama," Weevil, who had just stood up, saw the scene of Bakkin being submerged by Lightning, and his whole Person went crazy instantly.
Edward Weevil, with Rage on his Face, wished he could devour Nicholas alive.
He held the Naginata tail with both Hands, raised it high behind him, and strode forward, running.
Each step made the Deck vibrate, and a terrifying Aura swept forward at this moment.
And the Naginata behind him, which was almost dragged to the ground, was undoubtedly accumulating terrifying Power.
"Moo Roar!" Faintly, a Roar Sound came out. Then, a violent Thunder Dragon formed in front of Nicholas in the blink of an eye, sweeping towards Weevil.
The violent Thunder Dragon only took an instant to devour Weevil completely.
"Roar, kill you!" Accompanied by a Roar of Rage, the Lightning that had submerged Weevil was actually blasted open by him.
Weevil's hair behind him was now exploding like a Super Saiyan, and it was also filled with Electric Current. However, his looks destined him to never be a Super Saiyan in this Life.
"I really don't know how Bakkin created you! You really are like a Beast."
Looking at Weevil, who was panting but whose Aura was even stronger, Nicholas couldn't help but speak.
As for the sudden fight between Weevil and Nicholas, Zephyr was naturally happy to see it happen. He even ordered some Marines on the Warship to go to Weevil's Ship to seize it, planning to directly transfer to Weevil's Ship if something went wrong with the Warship.
Weevil's Figure rushed towards Nicholas again, but when he slashed at Nicholas with his Sword, the Smile on his Face appeared for a moment and then disappeared. Because in his Gaze, Nicholas's Figure who he had slashed had already turned into Electric Light and dissipated.
"You Weapon, don't run around! Behave and let me cut you down!" Weevil said in a buzzing voice, slashing his Long Sword in his Hand towards the Position of the Ship Cabin where Nicholas had appeared.
Bang! Terrifying Power suddenly bloomed. A huge Slash Mark instantly appeared at the Position of the Ship Cabin of the Warship, and it immediately split into four or five pieces.
And Zephyr, who had originally planned to watch from the sidelines, immediately contracted his Pupil. Nicholas, this Weapon, had no intention of exerting Strength at all. If this continued, Weevil would be fine, but their Warship would definitely sink.
"Bang!" Zephyr moved instantly, and Weevil's Body actually flew backwards again, heavily.
"You Weapons!" Weevil Roared angrily. Obviously, both Nicholas and Zephyr had made him feel frustrated. This was an Emotion he had never experienced in the long Time he had been at Sea with Bakkin.
And the frustration that could not be vented eventually turned into Rage, simply called impotent Rage.
"Idiot Son, leave quickly! These two Weapons are not something you can handle right now!" Bakkin, who had been struck by Nicholas's Lightning, suddenly jumped up from the ground at some point and jumped directly onto Weevil's back, speaking directly to Weevil.
"But, Mama..." Weevil was obviously a little unwilling.
"No buts. You are not an Opponent for these two Weapons right now, but when you get your Pops' Float-Float Fruit, you will definitely be able to defeat them!" Bakkin seemed to be aware that Weevil's Emotion was not right now, and could only rely on suggestion to make Weevil obedient.
"Okay, Mama." After speaking, Weevil directly bent his legs, and then exerted force Underfoot, intending to leave.
"Offended This Old Man, and still want to leave so easily? Arm Strength: Mountain Crushing!" Bang! A terrifying Rumbling Sound accompanied Zephyr's Sound, and the Air was rippled by Zephyr's Strike.
Weevil's Body, who was just about to take off, shook, and then Blood gushed out from his mouth and nose as if it were free, and a trace of pain appeared on his Face.
Obviously, Zephyr's Strike directly Severely Wounded him.
But also taking advantage of Zephyr's Strike, Weevil's Body flew out directly and fell heavily into the Sea.
On the Warship. Zephyr watched Weevil fall into the Sea and then stopped paying attention. Weevil, who had just taken his Strike, was definitely Severely Wounded, not to mention that in the New World's harsh Sea Area, not having a Ship almost meant Death.
Zephyr turned his Gaze to Nicholas, and his Eyes became slightly serious.
Compared to Weevil and Bakkin, this Weapon in front of them was the truly dangerous Weapon.
The Marines were also shaken in their Inner Thoughts. They deeply understood Nicholas's terrifying Strength. Could it be that today their Neo Navy was going to start a Battle with Thunder God Nicholas?
Even though they had an absolute Advantage in numbers, the Battles of Sea Powerhouses had never been about numbers.
In the end, Zephyr raised his Hand.
"Everyone, return to your respective positions!" Hearing this, everyone on the Warship, although somewhat puzzled, all obeyed Zephyr's Order and withdrew in an orderly manner, leaving the Deck to Zephyr and Nicholas.
After there was no one else on the Deck.
Zephyr then also withdrew his Gaze, turned his Head, and looked at Nicholas standing on the Deck.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 427 Vegapunk's New Research
"I heard Sengoku mention you before setting sail, but I didn't expect we'd meet so soon."
Zephyr said, looking at Nicholas.
His unique voice made Nicholas feel momentarily dazed, as if he had returned to the time when he was following Naruto.
Seeing Nicholas, who seemed to be lost in thought, Zephyr didn't make any rash moves, but instead scrutinized him with a serious gaze.
He knew very well in his heart that if Nicholas wanted to do anything to their team, he would be even more troublesome than that guy who looked like Whitebeard but called himself Golden Lion Second.
As a former division Captain of the Rocks Pirates, he had fought against almost all the Top-Tier Powerhouses on the Grand Line, not only holding his own but even gaining the advantage, and had even attacked Holy Land Mary Geoise several times... Such a Man was undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
But his actions had always been very strange, leaving no trace to follow.
Unlike ordinary Pirate who fought for Territory or to realize their Ambition, this Weapon seemed to have his own Target.
Just as Zephyr was pondering, Nicholas spoke.
"It seems that Sengoku finally made a decision, but I didn't expect it to be you. I originally thought it would be Garp."
Hearing Nicholas's Words, black lines immediately appeared on Zephyr's Forehead. If Garp betrayed the Navy, then the World would probably explode.
For the Navy Hero to openly betray the Navy and the World Government, no matter where you put it, it would be a sign of the World Government's downfall. The World Government would probably go crazy directly.
What's more, with Garp's big-mouthed Personality, maybe it wouldn't be long after he set sail before the Five Elders would look for Sengoku to talk in Mary Geoise.
"As far as I know, you seem to have always been concerned about the Movement of the Navy?"
Zephyr asked in a deep voice.
"Just trying to gain some Force."
Nicholas replied indifferently.
"Gain?"
Zephyr was taken aback, and then instantly understood. His Eyes changed, as if he had thought of something.
At the same time, his brows furrowed even deeper. He didn't understand what kind of Foundation the World Government had that would make a Weapon like Nicholas go so far as to try to gain all the Force he could on the Grand Line—Roger, Whitebeard, the Revolutionary Army, the Navy, and other Forces.
He knew that when he became an Admiral, he had also seen the true ruler of the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise. Although he admitted that the other party was Strongest, so Strongest that he didn't even have the confidence to fight against him, if Nicholas gathered so many Powerful Figure, it might not be impossible to try.
"Don't underestimate that Toilet King who has been entrenched in Mary Geoise."
Nicholas then said Words that made Zephyr's Complexion drastically change.
"That Weapon's Power is constantly recovering, and may even fully recover in ten or twenty years. Imagine what it means for such a Terror to be able to roam freely on the Grand Line."
Although Nicholas didn't believe in Fate, it was clear that when Monkey D. Luffy and the Nika Fruit reached the Strength of Joy Boy in the past, Im's Strength would likely also recover and no longer be trapped in Pangaea Castle.
After speaking, Nicholas's Figure slowly floated up from the Deck, preparing to leave this place. After all, Judge in the North Blue was still waiting for his Support.
"So put away your pacifist Thoughts. When the Grand Line truly begins to experience Turmoil, those scum you don't care about may easily cause countless families to be destroyed..."
After leaving these Words, Nicholas's Figure rushed into the High Sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Watching Nicholas leave, Zephyr frowned and fell into Inner Thoughts.
... Navy Science Force, inside a Laboratory with extremely high Defense levels.
This was a Research Laboratory equipped with complete equipment and instruments, also specially prepared by the World Government for Vegapunk. It could be said that as long as it was Things Vegapunk needed, the World Government would find a way to get them.
At this time, in the Laboratory, Vegapunk was looking at the Vessel in front of him with great interest.
Inside the Vessel was placed a Devil Fruit with a peculiar shape.
"What truly incredible Creation. I just didn't expect that Weapon Nicholas would understand this Fruit so well. If this Fruit were obtained by him, I'm afraid this World would not be far from destruction. Ancient Weapon? Compared to those Things in that Weapon's mind, they are simply children's toys. But now is not the Time to eat it."
Saying this, Vegapunk pressed a button. With the sound of mechanical operation, this Devil Fruit, which had been specially collected, slowly sank to the Ground beneath the Laboratory.
For Vegapunk, at this Time, he also had a special Research project proposed by Nicholas.
About researching the theoretical feasibility and practical possibility of Heteromorphs.
And this project had also received key Support from the World Government.
After all, if this Research Topic about the mysteries of the human body and the Devil Fruit could achieve breakthrough progress, then it could allow the Strength of the World Government to be qualitatively Improvement in a short Time.
And in order to Support Vegapunk's Research, the Devil Fruit in Vegapunk's Material Room alone numbered more than fifty.
If Vegapunk's Research on Heteromorphs could succeed, it would mean that the rule that a Person cannot eat two Devil Fruit at the same Time would be broken, and the idea of Dual Devil Fruit User would become a Reality.
And once it was possible to eat Dual Devil Fruit, if paired well, it could even make two Devil Fruit that were originally not very strong instantly comparable to Top-Tier Devil Fruit.
Inside the Laboratory. Vegapunk, wearing a research suit, was humming a little tune and busying himself in front of various Precision Instrument.
For him, achieving breakthroughs in various Research was easy to make People happy, but it would be even better if he could be free from the constraints of those World Government guys.
I wonder how Baltimore is doing now, but with those Things I left behind, everyone's Life should be pretty good, right?
Just as Vegapunk was immersed in his own world of scientific Research, Caesar was constantly pacing back and forth in his Laboratory, that Feel was simply like having a million Ant crawling on his body.
"Ah! I can't take it anymore!"
Caesar raised his Hand with a look of frustration. In the past, it was very easy for him to know Vegapunk's Research Topic, but this Time, he didn't know what kind of bewitching Medicine Vegapunk had given to those World Government guys.
Not only could he not know Vegapunk's Research Topic, he couldn't even enter Vegapunk's Research area.
This made Caesar, who had always wanted to surpass Vegapunk and prove Oneself, feel extremely frustrated in his Inner Thoughts.
But—
"Is frustration useful?"
Caesar collapsed weakly in front of the Experiment Table, covering his Face and sobbing.
... On Cake Island, a large table of rich dishes was quickly swept away by the Charlotte Family.
Katakuri, having finished his Meal, didn't care about digestion problems at all and immediately threw himself into high-intensity Training.
Since returning from G-1, it had been like this every day.
Obviously, the War that happened in Mary Geoise had severely stimulated Katakuri.
He once again clearly realized his own Weakness, and once again clearly realized the Terror of the Powerful Figure in the New World.
Not enough, not enough... A Sound would constantly ring in his mind whenever he Trained to his Limit.
Although Charlotte Linlin, whose Original Self had returned, still had terrifying Strength, she currently had no way to fully unleash this Strength.
So Katakuri constantly squeezed his Potential, wanting to have the Strength to protect his Family.
"Older Brother Katakuri."
A Figure hiding in the distance watched Katakuri training desperately and murmured softly.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 428: Fishing Enthusiasts Fear Nothing
After saying goodbye to Zephyr and the others, Nicholas continued flying towards the North Blue. Even in the New World, your speed sometimes can't be increased in the Sky.
After all, there are too many abnormal climates in the New World. For example, not long ago, Nicholas encountered a Meteor Fire Rain, the Power of which was even comparable to the Scene he saw when he traveled from Fish-Man Island to the New World. It could be described as burning mountains and boiling seas.
Because of this, Nicholas had to temporarily stop and rest on an Island, waiting for this Natural Disaster to pass.
Moreover, since it was getting late, Nicholas also planned to take this opportunity to rest well and adjust his State. After all, the North Blue is already in chaos now. Who knows if Judge can still hold on when he gets there. If he gets caught, he will inevitably have to fight with Kaido or the Navy.
Just as Nicholas was sitting around the Campfire, grilling Goat Meat bestowed by heaven, which was entangled by Vine on a Tree.
Suddenly, from the Depths of the Jungle, which could scare Ordinary People to death, came a slight Sound.
At first, the Sound was not clear, just faintly audible. Nicholas didn't care much, after all, it was a Forest, so it's normal to have some Sounds at night.
Nicholas had even encountered strange Things while fishing at night when he was on Earth.
At that time, he was thinking about whether he could catch a Big Catch tonight when suddenly, from the small Forest behind him, came a series of intermittent, painful wails of a Woman.
Originally, Nicholas didn't care, but after another Big Catch, weighing at least thirty pounds, was scared away from the Fishing Pit, Nicholas couldn't sit still any longer.
Putting the Fishing Rod aside in front of the Spirit Tablet, after saying a Greeting, Nicholas picked up the Incense Burner of his 'good Brother' and stealthily moved towards the source of the Sound.
As a result, when he arrived at the Place where the Sound came from, Nicholas was almost scared to pee. He saw behind a Large Tree, there was a Monster with the Upper Body of a Woman in the front and the Upper Body of a Man in the back.
The Upper Body of the Man in the back had a ferocious face, while the Woman in the front was in considerable pain, constantly wailing.
Seemingly noticing Nicholas's arrival, the male and female Upper Bodies of that Terror Monster turned their Gaze towards the direction where Nicholas was.
Realizing the danger, Nicholas immediately ran back to his Fishing Pit and started baiting the nest. After all, could dirty Things be more terrifying than getting skunked?
He wasn't afraid when he was an Ordinary People fishing enthusiast in his previous Life, so now he has even less reason to be afraid.
But as Time passed, the rustling Sound gradually approached, and faintly, it seemed like People were talking.
"Jennifer, are you sure the Treasure you mentioned is here? Why haven't I seen Anything?"
"Don't worry, I got this from that eight-hundred-jin Fatty. It's said that his ancestors were great pirates. If it weren't for this Treasure Map, would I, your mother, be pinned down by that eight-hundred-jin Fatty?"
"Hehehe, who doesn't know the great name of Jennifer, the Queen of Endurance? Don't say eight-hundred-jin, even a thousand-jin, I guess you can easily Endure it."
From the Depths of the Forest, the voices of a Man and a Woman gradually became clearer.
The Two people seemed to be here for the Treasure.
At this time, another Man's voice sounded in the cold Wind: "That couple has been fooled. We'll make our move after they find the Treasure."
At this time, another Sound came, this Sound with a hint of indifference, said: "These guys who know our Navy Secret must be humanely destroyed. We cannot let the Scandal in the Navy that happened spread out!"
The voices of these People got closer and closer, constantly walking towards the Place where Nicholas was. Finally, they stopped near Nicholas and fell silent, leaving only the Sound of the cold night Wind rolling Leaves.
Observation Haki had already swept out, and a smile suddenly appeared on Nicholas's Face.
"Interesting."
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the Depths of the Forest!
"Who's eavesdropping!"
After shouting, the Forest returned to Calm, leaving only the rustling Sound of Leaves.
Just as Nicholas was still calmly leaning against the Mutton, seemingly unaffected at all.
A Pale human Face suddenly appeared above the dense Tree Canopy in the distance. This Face peered through the dense Leaves, spying on Nicholas who was grilling Meat by the Campfire.
The Wind suddenly stopped, and the Dark Night became deathly silent and quiet.
Just as that Face was carefully spying on Nicholas, Nicholas, who was sitting cross-legged by the Campfire, suddenly turned his Head following the Gaze of spying.
Facing Nicholas's Gaze, that Pale human Face was clearly startled.
And Nicholas also clearly saw the full appearance of that Pale human Face.
To be precise, the main body of that Pale human Face was a Vicious Bird with a ferocious face and a giant body. The Pale human Face was just a pattern on its chest.
That Bird was as black as ink all over its Body. If you didn't pay attention in the Dark Night, you would only see that Pale human Face.
At this moment, that Bird was tilting its Head, sizing up this Living Person who suddenly appeared in its Territory.
Seeming to think that Nicholas was not a Threat, just like those guys it had hunted before, that Bird flapped its Wings, made a piercing Sound, and rushed directly towards Nicholas.
A pair of sharp Claws, even gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
That Bird was very ferocious, and with one move, it intended to kill the Prey in front of it with a Strike.
Moreover, that Bird's Speed was very fast. It was almost a blink of an eye, and it had already approached within three meters of Nicholas. The sharp Claws were about to grab towards Nicholas's skull.
A Lightning suddenly appeared out of thin air, directly striking the Vicious Bird, causing it to stagger. Then, Nicholas opened his five fingers, and amidst the flashing Lightning, he directly and firmly grabbed the Vicious Bird's Neck.
Then he pressed it to the ground.
The Human-Faced Bird struggled and thrashed from the Electricity, and its bird beak continuously emitted human voices.
"Older Brother, do you not like me?"
"I bought a Pinwheel, whoosh~."
"Help! Don't kill me!"
"Hmm... why not?"
"You are so ruthless!"
"There's a ghost! Where's the ghost? The ghost is there. Where? Behind you!"
...
Seemingly because it was being electrocuted, this Bird became a little flustered. The topic changed abruptly, and it turned into another Person's voice.
"Yohohoho Yohohoho, deliver Bink's Sake to your side, like the Sea Breeze, freely ride the waves."
"What Scoundrel dares to spy in secret! Watch me... watch me what again?"
Looking at this Vicious Bird in his hand, which kept making various Sounds, Nicholas couldn't help but show surprise on his Face: "There are many strange Things in the New World, but this Mimic Bird, which can even imitate voices so vividly and realistically, is really the first time I've seen one. Isn't this as rare and good a Thing as a good catch?"
Even though it was caught by Nicholas, the Vicious Bird's Eyes were still very ferocious. If its Body wasn't restrained by Lightning, it probably would have already given Nicholas a fierce peck with its sharp beak.
Although this Bird was very fierce, after Nicholas's three minutes of humane Electrotherapy, it immediately became listless and lay on the ground, starting to give up.
After all, it couldn't win in a fight, and it couldn't escape. What else could it do but give up?
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 429 Seven Warlords of the Sea Summons
And just when this vicious bird was being lazy, suddenly a piece of fragrant roasted lamb was presented to it, skewered on a stick.
Nicholas also wanted to test the extent to which this vicious bird could imitate.
"From the south came a Lama, carrying five pounds of flatfish in his hand. From the north came a Mute, with a trumpet hanging at his waist. The Lama carrying flatfish from the south wanted to exchange his flatfish for the trumpet of the Mute from the north, but the Mute was unwilling to exchange his trumpet for the Lama's flatfish. The Lama insisted on exchanging for the trumpet of the Mute with the trumpet. The Lama swung his flatfish and hit the Mute with the trumpet with his flatfish, and the Mute took off his trumpet and hit the Lama carrying flatfish with his trumpet. It's unclear whether the Lama carrying flatfish hit the Mute with the trumpet with his flatfish, or whether the Mute with the trumpet hit the Lama carrying flatfish with his trumpet. The Lama stewed flatfish. The Mute played the trumpet didi dada."
Facing Nicholas's words, the lazy bird had no reaction at all, only staring intently at the lamb in front of it.
Faced with this behavior of the lazy bird, Nicholas directly gave it a round of Electrotherapy, shocking the lazy bird so much that its bird feathers stood on end.
When Nicholas repeated it again, and the lazy bird still had no reaction and received another round of Electrotherapy, after Nicholas repeated it for the third time, realizing that if it didn't react a bit, it would probably become roasted bird, the lazy bird also began to imitate Nicholas and speak the Tongue-twister.
At first, it spoke a bit haltingly, but after a few repetitions, realizing that it wouldn't be electrocuted anymore, the lazy bird became more and more energetic, even starting to constantly repeat "Lama" and "Mute." And when it finished reciting the Tongue-twister completely, looking at the Roasted Meat presented in front of it, the lazy bird swallowed it in one gulp, then tilted its head to look at Nicholas.
It seemed to feel that it had discovered something amazing, as if as long as it repeated the words of this two-legged beast, it would not only avoid Electric Shock, but even have Delicious Food to eat.
Looking at the lazy bird with a hint of anticipation in its Eyes, Nicholas also became interested. Even a Tongue-twister of this difficulty couldn't stump the lazy bird, so how about increasing the difficulty?
"Old Man Lu, sixty-six years old, built sixty-six buildings, bought sixty-six barrels of Oil, raised sixty-six Oxen, and planted sixty-six Weeping Willows. Sixty-six barrels of Oil, piled in sixty-six buildings; sixty-six Oxen, tied to sixty-six Weeping Willows. Suddenly a Gale arose, blowing down sixty-six buildings, overturning sixty-six barrels of Oil, breaking sixty-six Weeping Willows, and crushing sixty-six Oxen to death, infuriating Old Man Lu, who was sixty-six years old."
As a result, the voices of Old Liu the Sixth and Old Man Lu began to echo in the quiet Forest.
Early the next morning, a Pirate Ship sailing in the New World suddenly heard movement coming from overhead.
"Hey, did you hear that?"
"Hear what?"
Just as the two Pirates were staring at each other, a Sound suddenly came from the Sky above.
"Blackened black ash fertilizer ash will volatilize and turn ash, black taboo is black ash flower will fly back, ash-turned ash blackened fertilizer will volatilize and turn black ash, taboo flying flower returns to ash! Red Carp, Green Carp, and donkey! Khan, lead us to charge one more time! Chen () you () when () ah? I am from East Blue, East Blue Windmill Village..." The demonic Sound, and quickly flew towards the direction approaching the North Blue Calm Belt.
Leaving only the two Pirates staring at each other in confusion.
...
North Blue.
Rumble rumble... Gale winds swirled with Dark Clouds, and Lightning like giant snakes shuttled and flickered within the Cloud Layer, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
The Gale howled, and Giant Wave after Giant Wave surged on the Sea Surface. Between these raging Giant Waves, even a Battleship seemed exceptionally small.
On the Deck of the Battleship, a Pirate wearing a Beasts Pirates Uniform looked up at the Thunder Sound constantly rumbling in the Dark Clouds-filled Sky, with a Face full of helplessness.
"In this kind of terrible Weather, being assigned to deck duty is really bad Luck."
"Yeah, indeed, those on deck duty in this Weather are all unlucky bastards."
On the other side, another Pirate also wearing a Pirate Crew Uniform first wiped away the Seawater blown onto his Face by the Gale, and then echoed the sentiment.
Obviously, in this kind of Weather, being in the Ship Cabin and on the Deck are completely two different Worlds.
Just then, a huge black Figure emerged from the Dark Clouds and transformed into a tall humanoid form on the Deck, walking over.
"Lord Jin."
The two Beasts Pirates members guarding the Gate, watching the Figure striding towards them, immediately composed themselves and greeted him with respectful expressions.
King glanced at the two and asked, "Has there been any News about Young Master Yamato yet?"
The two subconsciously exchanged a glance, then simultaneously shook their heads.
"No."
"..."
Seeing this, King didn't say anything more, and walked past the two towards the Ship Cabin.
...
Several days ago.
Kuraigana Island, an Island abandoned for countless years.
Most of the Time, the Island is always shrouded in Fog.
On the Island, Architectural Ruins left over from War, as well as various rusty Weapons, can be seen everywhere.
A Castle that looked relatively intact stood in the midst of the already abandoned Building Complex, appearing exceptionally conspicuous.
Here, was precisely the Dwelling of Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
For him, who aspired to become the World's First Great Swordsman, unless he needed to go to Sea to challenge some famous Swordsman, he would basically always stay here, honing his Swordsmanship.
In the Castle Restaurant.
Casually placing his apron aside, Mihawk sat at the head of the long Dining Table, holding a glass of Red Wine in his Hand.
On the Dining Table in front of him, lay an opened Letter.
"..."
Hawkeye lowered his head and looked at the Letter, without saying a Word.
The content of the Letter was simple, but of extraordinary Significance. Since the establishment of the Seven Warlords System, this was the first Summons issued to the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Hmm..."
Hawkeye took a sip of Red Wine, and made a decision in just a moment.
After all, it was the first Summons, and moreover, the Status of Seven Warlords of the Sea had indeed brought him many Benefits, so he should go.
After a while.
The Sound of the Castle Gate being closed came from the Forest.
A Figure carrying a Long Sword like a Cross on his back walked towards the Coast in the Fog-filled Forest.
In the Forest, the Baboons holding various Weapons and fighting each other all stopped their Actions, watching the Figure walk further and further away with a look of awe in their Eyes.
After the Figure disappeared, the Baboons started fighting again. Obviously, for these guys, brawling was one of the few Fun ways to pass the Time.
...
North Blue, World Government Affiliated Nation, Systad Kingdom.
As one of the World Government Allied Nations, the Systad Kingdom had become an important Navy Base in North Blue.
Several hours later.
Several Warships arrived at the Port.
A Gangplank extended from the Warship and rested on the Shore.
The Navy, led by Garp, disembarked one by one along the Gangplank.
"This scene is really 'frightening',"
Kizaru said insincerely after seeing the Seven Warlords of the Sea who had also arrived not long ago on the other side of the Port.
"Sea Dregs."
Sakazuki's attitude was quite clear when he saw the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Garp, Kizaru, Sakazuki...
As Doflamingo, the Sea Rogue who had just arrived not long ago, a hint of Apprehension flashed deep in his Eyes.
It could be said that any one of these three guys, if picked out at random, would be a Nightmare-like Threat to the Donquixote Family.
Compared to Doflamingo's faint Apprehension...
Others, such as Crocodile, who didn't put anyone in his Eyes, Bartholomew Kuma, who maintained a quiet State, and Hawkeye, who had a State of indifference.
They seemed much calmer.
"Fufufufu, it's really terrifying. The Navy actually sent three Monsters at once, plus these few Monsters, what do they want to do in North Blue?"
Doflamingo kept wiggling his Fingers, his Eyes constantly scanning his Surroundings.
Obviously, in his opinion, a mere Germa, or even adding Kaido's Beasts Pirates, was not worth the Navy making such a big show.
(End of Chapter)
North Blue, the war between the Beasts Pirates, Germa 66, and the Navy is intensifying.
Various Locations Worldwide are filled with uneasy Emotion.
Countless gazes are directed towards North Blue, all waiting for a result.
It can be said that for Ordinary People, if the Navy wins this time, it will mean that the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line are still safe.
Moreover, for the Navy, if they cannot defeat or even drive the Beasts Pirates out of North Blue this time, it will mean that the Navy no longer holds an absolute Advantage against Pirates from the New World. Those guys in the New World will definitely become even more unscrupulous after seeing the example of the Beasts Pirates.
Furthermore, many Pirate Crews will turn their ships around and return from the treacherous New World to the Four Seas and the Paradise in the first half.
After all, many Pirates who entered the New World with great ambition initially discovered that everything was different from what they had imagined. In the New World, they either join Major Power and become someone else's underling, or they become wandering Pirates and roam around the Grand Line.
They can't even plunder the Islands under the Protection of the Great Pirate in the New World, and their lives can be said to be quite difficult, living day-to-day in uncertainty.
At this time, many Pirate Crews realized that the reason they could easily enter the New World from Fish-Man Island beneath Shambles was entirely intentional behavior by the Navy.
For the Navy, putting these dangerous elements in the New World is obviously of great Value for maintaining the Stability of the first half of the Grand Line and the Four Seas.
Otherwise, given the Distance from Marine Headquarters to Shambles, it wouldn't be too difficult to block the road to the New World if they really wanted to.
While entering the New World is easy, it is not so easy to return to the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line.
It can be said that all Pirate Crews that have entered the New World are registered with the Navy. As long as they dare to return to the Four Seas, Impel Down is their only destination.
So for these Pirate Crews who have realized this, if there is an Opportunity to return to Paradise, many Pirate Crews are very willing.
As for Ordinary People in the Four Seas, no one hopes that Kaido can gain a foothold in North Blue.
This is their most genuine Thoughts.
But they can't do Anything other than wait for the result, and this is the sorrow of the Weakest.
Sistad Kingdom Port.
After a brief meeting with the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Sengoku took Sakazuki and Borsalino to meet the King of Systad Kingdom. After all, the other party is also the King of a World Government Allied Nations, and the necessary etiquette must be observed.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea were received by Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Mole.
Behind Mole, nearly a hundred fully armed Navy Soldiers stood in formation on the Shore, watching the Seven Warlords of the Sea with slight Nervousness.
Facing the few people standing there, the Haki (Spirit) coming towards them gave people a sense of oppression that made it difficult to breathe.
The Navy Soldiers suppressed the Tremor in their Inner Thoughts. This is... the Royal Shichibukai!
Mole glanced at his somewhat Nervous Subordinates, and then strode up to the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"You've worked hard, Royal Shichibukai."
"Fufufu, spare me the pleasantries, just lead the way." Doflamingo said.
Doflamingo put his hands in his pockets, his posture sloppy, and glanced sideways at Vice Admiral Mole.
Among these people, Hawkeye, who minded his own business, would hardly give any feedback. Bear was basically the same, remaining silent most of the time. As for Crocodile, with a Cigar in his mouth, his Gaze hadn't even looked at Mole since Sengoku left.
Doflamingo also knew that if he didn't speak, Mole would probably tell them a lot of nonsense.
Slightly choked by Doflamingo, Vice Admiral Mole was not affected at all and calmly said, "Then please follow me to the Reception Room to rest for a while. Later, Admiral Sengoku will inform you of the Reason for this Seven Warlords of the Sea convocation."
After informing them, Vice Admiral Mole simply turned around and led the way.
Although he might not be able to defeat these guys one-on-one, he has the Navy, the strongest Armed Group on the Grand Line, behind him, so naturally he wouldn't lose his composure like the Ordinary People Soldiers below who were affected by these guys' Haki (Spirit).
Several tens of minutes later.
Vice Admiral Mole escorted Doflamingo and the other four Seven Warlords of the Sea to the Gate of the Reception Room.
Having completed his Mission of leading the way, he obviously had no Interest in staying with these notorious Villains of the Grand Line. After briefly instructing the Navy responsible for the Reception Room, he left.
Doflamingo directly kicked open the Gate of the Reception Room, and then swaggered in first.
In the Reception Room, there was a Round Table, and on the Round Table were various Fine Wine and Delicacies that had been prepared in advance. Obviously, even the Navy would not choose to neglect these powerful guys. In addition, there was a Sofa and coffee table set near the Balcony.
Doflamingo walked into the Conference Room, first glanced at the Round Table placed in the Reception Room, and did not act rashly.
Instead, he turned his Gaze and looked at the Sofa placed in front of the Balcony, then directly swaggered and sat on the single Sofa, placing his legs crossed on the coffee table.
Although it was a Round Table, the seating order was still very particular. For Doflamingo, rather than Conflict with those three Monsters, it was better to sit on the Sofa aside and watch the show early.
Faced with this situation, Mihawk simply pulled out a chair and sat down by himself, seemingly not caring about the Thing of seating order at all.
Watching Mihawk's Action, Crocodile smiled and casually pulled out a chair and sat down as well.
As for Bear, after sitting down, he directly picked up the Book in his hand and began to read it.
The huge Reception Room fell into a strange Silence for a while.
...
On the Flagship of the Beasts Pirates.
In a dimly lit Room, the gurgling Sound of "glug glug" echoed continuously.
It seemed that a Bull-Headed Gorilla was gulping down something.
On the floor of the Room, empty Wine Flasks were scattered everywhere.
"Ha—"
Kaido removed the Wine Flask, his cheeks slightly flushed, and then exhaled a long breath carrying the Aura of aged Fine Wine.
Not far in front of him were two tall Figures.
One of the Figures was none other than King the Flame Disaster, who had just returned not long ago.
"Ugorogo... hiccup."
Kaido hiccuped, then casually placed the Wine Flask aside and looked down at his Right-hand men in the crew.
"King, what News have you brought this time?"
"Boss Kaido, according to the Intelligence I obtained, the Navy, in addition to Navy Admiral Sengoku the Buddha, Akainu Sakazuki, and Admiral Kizaru Borsalino, has also summoned the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The Enemy we are facing this time may be a bit tricky."
King said to Kaido in a deep voice. Although he believed that Kaido would not be afraid of the opponent's lineup, he had to consider the actual Situation of the Beasts Pirates.
"Oh, such a big formation?"
Hearing King's Words, a Light flashed in Kaido's eyes.
"I understand Sengoku. If it's him, he will definitely formulate a foolproof Plan. But a Plan with so many Strongest involved is definitely not just to deal with us, there must be other Targets."
"Mwahahaha, Mr. Kaido, are you planning to make a big scene?"
Queen the Plague looked at his Boss with anticipation. Obviously, the Strength shown by Germa 66 made Kaido quite satisfied, and he temporarily ignored Queen's Artificial Devil Fruit Plan.
"Ugorogo..."
Radiance of violence flickered in Kaido's eyes, and he said coldly, "I won't miss such a lively event. Pass down the order... the climax of the War is about to begin! Ugorogo!!!"
Laughter of extreme excitement echoed in the sky above the entire Beasts Pirates Fleet.
Beasts Pirates Crew members, hearing this Laughter, couldn't help but look in the direction of their Boss.
