Chapter 243
Top wars.
——This upcoming war will be regarded as the largest war involving the Great Age of Pirates since the opening of the Great Age of Pirates in the future!
And the starting point of this war came from the [Blackbeard] Marshall D. Teach who betrayed Whitebeard for Yami Yami no Mi.
In order to hunt down Teach, his Captain at that time was also the knot of Whitebeard Pirates' second division Captain and Luffy, the big brother Portgas·D·Ace. Despite Whitebeard’s persuasion, he went out to sea in anger and found it on Barnairo Island. Teach gang and fight with them.
In the end, Ace was unfortunately defeated by Teach, and Teach gave Ace to Marine as a vote for the seat of [Shichibukai]. As a result, Ace was imprisoned into Impel Down, and then Ace would be pressed to Execution at Marine Headquarters in Marineford.
On the other side, Whitebeard Pirates got the news that Ace was about to be executed. [Whitebeard] Edward · Newgate is about to lead all the Whitebeard Pirates and his forty-three Pirates to Marine Headquarters for rescue.
At this point, although the Two Great Influences of Whitebeard Pirates and Marine are involved, it is very clear. It is only a group of Pirates intending to come to the execution ground that's all.
Although the strength of this group of Pirates is a little too strong, the same is true of Marine led by Sengoku.
Isn't this the meaning of Marine?
However, Sengoku has had a headache for a long time at this time.
Sengoku may feel tricky if only Whitebeard Pirates is mentioned, but it will never feel "headache".
What really worries Sengoku is actually the current situation of tangled and complicated.
In order to deal with Whitebeard Pirates and its forty-three Pirates, Sengoku has gathered 100,000 Marine elites at Marine Headquarters and issued a Shichibukai calling order, asking Oka Shichibukai to come and assist Marine to deal with it. Whitebeard Pirates.
The first big problem is this "Oka Shichibukai".
The so-called Shichibukai, there should be seven people.
……
Sengoku doesn't know one thing.
If you follow the normal timeline to develop, the seven people in Shichibukai's position at this time should be:
[Blackbeard] Marshall D·Teach, [Female Emperor] Boa · Hancock, [Hawk Eyes] Dracule, Mihawk, [天 Yaksha] Donquixote, Doflamingo, [Knight of the Sea] Jinbe, [Tyrant] Bartholomew Bear, and [Moonlight] Moria.
However, because of [BOSS] Lynn Barek's actions eight years ago, Shichibukai at that time has undergone considerable changes.
First of all, [Crocodile] Crocodile should have been defeated by Luffy who had sailed here because of the civil war in Alabasta, and was eventually imprisoned in Impel Down. Later, he assisted Luffy in making Impel Down by accident. .
But because of Lynn’s previous actions, Crocodile got a lot of clues about the Dark King in advance, including half of the Dark King design drawings, so Alabasta’s intelligence is tasteless for Crocodile. It’s a lot, and it’s not even needed anymore.
Poneglyph is not needed, and Nico Robin’s help is naturally not needed, and there is no civil strife in Alabasta.
As for the incident in Dressrosa, because there is no evidence of Crocodile's direct get involved, the World Government naturally has nothing to do with him.
Therefore, [Crocodile] Crocodile was not deprived of Oka Shichibukai's seat because of the crime.
However, when the Dressrosa incident ended eight years ago, Crocodile disappeared. Even the World Government could not directly track his whereabouts, and no one knew where he was.
One of Shichibukai [Crocodile] has been missing for a long time.
……
As for [天 Yaksha] Donquixote · Doflamingo, he was responsible for many of the crimes imposed on him by the World Government and was imprisoned in Impel Down eight years ago.
Doflamingo’s plan to join Shichibukai was shattered, and Shichibukai remained vacant until [Blackbeard] Marshall D. Teach added Ace to Shichibukai, which filled the vacancy. .
……
Speaking of another person-[Knight of the Sea] Jinbe.
If everything develops normally, [Fishman Hero] Fisher · Tiger will die of human betrayal, and the Sun Pirates under his command will also fall apart.
Among them, [Sawtooth] Arlong was arrested for attacking a human ship. Jinbe, a member of the group, joined Shichibukai in order to protect his fellow Fishman, in exchange for Arlong’s freedom.
After Arlong seized Nami's hometown of Cocoyasi Village, it was another story.
But now, Tiger is not dead, and the Sun Pirates group still exists. Both Arlong and Jinbe are still members of the Sun Pirates group.
So this seat of Oka Shichibukai has been vacant.
There are not many Pirates suitable for this position. They are either difficult to control, lack of strength, or dismissive of them.
……
On the side of [Moonlight] Moria, it is even more troublesome.
Ten years ago, the Water 7 incident occurred.
In that incident, Moria was used by the World Government as a pawn that could be discarded at any time, and even his ship was bombarded by the Marine fleet.
Taking this as an opportunity, Moria has a serious sense of distrust of World Government, and World Government also regards Moria as an "instability factor" in Oka Shichibukai.
However, if the World Government wants to remove a Shichibukai, it needs "reasons", especially the old Shichibukai like Moria, otherwise various media will fabricate various rumors.
Even if you want to get rid of Moria, you need a suitable opportunity.
Therefore, Moria was excluded as an extremely unstable factor in this Shichibukai's convening operation.
So, another Shichibukai was absent.
……
Therefore, Oka Shichibukai, who can respond to the call of the World Government and can be used as an effective battle strength, has only four people--
They are: [Blackbeard] Marshall D. Teach, [Female Emperor] Boa Hancock, [Hawk Eyes] Dracule Mihawk, and [Tyrant] Bartholomew Bear.
However, two of them are more special.
As a Shichibukai who just joined Blackbeard, his reliability is not high, and even before the war, he put forward the conditions to go to Impel Down.
Although the World Government agreed, Sengoku still feels distrustful of Teach.
In fact, for Sengoku, any Shichibukai can be "utilized" but cannot be "trusted".
As for the second place, it is [Tyrant] Bartholomew · Bear.
According to the report submitted by the scientist Begapunk, the transformation of the Bartholomew bear has been completed recently. At this time, the bear is already a walking corpse that can only obey the orders of the World Government.
Although battle strength is still strong, humans and machines are always different.
Compared with these two people, the isolation of [Hawk Eyes] and the strange behavior of [The Empress] who refused to convene before and then responded to the convening is nothing.
……
"One is missing, one is vacant, one cannot be summoned, and the remaining four cannot be fully trusted..."
Sengoku Rubbing his eyebrows, he muttered in a low voice: "Now I have received news that Lynn Barek has started to act again. Everything has come together!"
Speaking of which, Sengoku suddenly Lost in thought.
The reason for the chaotic situation today seems to be related to the [BOSS] Lynn Barek!
"Could it be that he created the current situation with one hand?"
Sengoku immediately shook the head, "No, this is not his style of action, it may only be a coincidence."
"And if Shichibukai's battle strength is insufficient, then it can only be made up strategically..."
Sengoku narrowed his eyes and began to focus on the upcoming battle. War.
At this moment, the door of Fleet Admiral's office was knocked suddenly.
A messenger came in and opened the mouth and said: "Fleet Admiral, [Hiken] Portgas · D· Ace's escort procedure is ready, please give instructions!"
