Chapter 481: Shui Xianxing Island

Chapter 481: Shui Xianxing Island

The arrogant remarks published in the newspapers immediately caused an uproar in the world.

The navy has always issued a bounty, making countless pirates a walking Bailey in the eyes of others.

Kill pirates and exchange for bounties.

This is common sense and an effective way for the Navy to contain pirates.

Now, Festa has so boldly exchanged the entrance ticket for the celebration and the head of the admiral as an equivalent exchange.

Such behavior is undoubtedly a provocation to the Navy.

However.

The pirates who were looking forward to the celebration were very impressed with it.

The head of a Navy colonel in exchange for a ticket to the celebration.

This is reasonable.

Because, this is an unprecedented celebration that can be linked to the Great Secret Treasure.

Furthermore—

It has always been their heads that were exchanged for bounties, and this time, it was their turn to turn the tables.

"I can understand Festa's approach."

Maud looked at the newspaper with a calm expression.

The holding of the celebration will inevitably lead to interference from the naval headquarters.

The rules set by Festa can cause trouble and hindrance to the navy on the eve of the celebration.

Maybe the effect will not be much better, but at least it can keep the purpose of those pirates who want to participate in the festival.

Almost foreseeable—

Chaos begins.

"Huh, it's a bit interesting to exchange the head of a colonel for an admission ticket."

Lafayette squinted, and the crutches in his hands swayed like a pendulum clock.

The self-proclaimed right-hand man of Maud seems to be interested in such rules.

Perona floated behind Maud, looked at the newspaper in Maud's hand, and said softly: "Only at the hider can the heads be exchanged for admission tickets,

What is a hider? "

"A profession active in the underground world, the main business content is to help people keep valuables for a fee."

Maud answered Perona's question.

According to the rules laid out by Festa, those who want to participate in the celebration must hand over the body or head to the hiding division after hunting a colonel of the Navy Headquarters.

Only in this way will the hider reveal where the admission ticket is stored.

In this way, with the participation of the hiding division, it is not an easy task for the navy to intervene in advance.

After all, hiding has always been a hider's forte.

But relatively, with this level of cooperation, I am afraid Festa will have to pay the hider a lot of money.

From this point of view, the gold in the sky that Festa and Barrett looted should not be a small number.

"First kill a colonel of the navy headquarters, and then find a hider to exchange for admission tickets. It is a very simple condition to participate."

Shiliu gently rubbed the handle of the knife with his thumb, and spoke in a very cold tone, as if he would recommend himself to take on the task in the next second and fetch the head of a colonel of the Navy Headquarters.

Aokiji glanced at Shiliu without a trace.

Even if he has left the navy, Festa's behavior still makes Aokiji unhappy.

In contrast, Shiliu, who was also from the Navy, didn't think there was any problem with this rule.

"Hoho, everyone who saw the newspaper should have already acted, so we have to hurry up, Captain."

Lafayette stopped the swing of the crutch, tucked it behind him, and looked at Maud.

Hearing Lafayette's words, everyone present looked at Maud.

"Well, let's get the admission ticket first."

Facing the eyes of everyone, Maud looked calm.

Shiliu immediately volunteered: "Let me leave the task of hunting the navy colonel to me."

Maud shook his head, with a hint of playfulness on his face.

"I didn't say...you have to abide by the rules of the game set by that guy."

"..."

When everyone heard the words, their expressions were different.

........

Navy Headquarters.

Office of the Marshal.

Akainu's face was gloomy.

The conditions for admission tickets for the festival set by Festa are simply a kind of provocation by Chi Guoguo, and they completely ignore their navy.

Akainu, who has always been violent, how can he bear it.

Now, he can't wait to punch Barrett and Festa into the hot magma.

But on second thought-

At a time when the combat power of the new pacifists has been renewed, isn't this so-called pirate celebration an opportunity to take away all the pirate forces?

You can even sit still and wait for a top cut in the melee.

Anyway, as long as the pirates can be eliminated, Akainu will do it without hesitation, no matter how dirty or despicable it is.

This is his consciousness and his justice.

"Pirates, they are all bloody scum."

Akainu looked down at the newspaper on the desk, cold killing intent brewing in his eyes.

He didn't know how many years he could sit in this position.

But as long as he reigns for one day, he will not miss any opportunity to punish the pirates.

to this end--

sacrifice, price.

All are not enough.

At this moment, the sound of clogs stepping on the ground came from the corridor outside the office.

Akainu looked up at the open office door.

Just by listening to his voice, you can tell that the person coming is Fujitora, one of the current generals.

After a few breaths, Fujitora in a purple kimono appeared in front of the office door, then stepped into the office with his clogs, and the wooden stick in his hand kept beating on the floor in front of him.

Akainu said blankly, "Don't let me down again, Fujitora."

The sound of the stick hitting the ground stopped abruptly.

Fujitora stood still, raised his eyes to Akainu, revealing the whites of his eyes.

He pondered at first, and then calmly said: "This old man understands the weight of this action, even if he died, he would not hesitate."

"Better so."

Akainu clasped his hands, and his low voice revealed a sense of oppression.

"This kind of ridiculous pirate celebration is an opportunity that can change the times... As long as this opportunity is seized, it is time to end the era started by Roger's words 24 years ago!"

"..."

Fujitora was silent.

From the standpoint of justice, the era that Roger started by himself is undoubtedly bad.

But no one knows whether the new era that exists in the future will be worse or better.

now--

The intractable and thorny pirate forces are still standing on the sea.

It's not easy to get rid of it in one pot.

But this so-called celebration is indeed a rare opportunity.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the office.

Fujitora didn't look back when he heard the voice.

Akainu's gaze went beyond Fujitora to the office door, frowning slightly.

After a while.

Three men in white coats and strange masks came to the office.

Akainu looked coldly at the person who came, and said unceremoniously: "Seeing you at this time, it must be bad."

Saying that, Akainu took off the cigar and pushed it hard into the ashtray.

snorted.

The end of the cigar was snuffed out, and plumes of white smoke came out.

"Watch what you say, Sakaski."

One of the masked men had a very bad tone.

"who do you think You Are?"

Akainu let go of the cigar, looked down at CP0, and then said coldly in a tough tone: "Go back and tell the Five Old Stars, no matter what they want to do... This time, don't get in the way!"

"you……!!!"

The three CP0 members who had not yet indicated their intentions were slightly stunned.

Akainu's tough attitude at this moment shocked them directly.

.........

The "rules of the game" thrown out by Festa through the newspaper made all the pirates who wanted to participate in the celebration act quickly.

In contrast, the naval branches located all over the world, as well as the naval units stationed in all parts of the world, have raised the alert level without exception.

Having dealt with pirates for so many years, no navy will underestimate the madness of pirates.

In a sense, just give the pirates a clear temptation.

Well, pirates can do anything.

When the last newspaper slowly fell from the sky to the ground.

The fighting between the two camps suddenly broke out.

less than a day.

The naval bases stationed on the guard side and the warships that went out to perform missions were all attacked by the pirates.

And these battle information, like a data stream, are quickly transmitted within the relevant channels of the underground world.

If someone successfully hunted down a navy at the level of a general.

Then, people who are in the underground world and don't plan to participate in the festival will drink and cheer.

If someone fails accidentally, they will be wiped out by the navy instead.

Those who applaud are still applauding.

It's a carnival.

And bystanders are never too busy.

The constantly changing information in the underground world represents the passing of fresh lives.

And the leaders of the various forces who have the information are secretly watching the trend.

"What does Festa want to use this celebration for?"

This is a question that they, who are in high positions, will naturally think about.

To participate or not, and when to participate.

This is also a question they should think about.

But in any case, the temptation brought by the big secret treasure is definitely not something that people like them can resist.

......

Time passes day by day.

Chaos began to emerge.

Fight, bloody battle.

Blood dripped into the sea.

A pirate group that successfully destroyed a warship, not caring about the excitement, took the corpse of the navy general to the hider to exchange for the ticket.

Then they got a permanent pointer and a standard treasure map from the hider.

This is also the consistent hiding method of the hiders in the great waterway, placing the client's "precious things" on one of the tens of millions of islands in the world.

And pointing to the hiding place, that is, the permanent pointer and the treasure map.

The pirate group that got things in their hands set sail at the fastest speed.

"I must get Ralph Drew's permanent pointer!"

The pirate captain who is slightly famous in the new world, looks at the sea in the distance and has a high ambition.

The pirate brothers behind him cheered loudly, cheering for their captain's ambition.

On the deck, it was very lively for a while.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

In the ears of many pirates, a piercing clang sounded suddenly.

Before they could react, the ship beneath them split in two.

"!!!"

Everyone, including the captain, looked horrified.

Immediately afterwards, the ship that was torn in half fell to the sea with a bang, smashing large waves.

The pirates either screamed or panicked.

In an instant it became a mess.

On the sea not far away, a small boat was undulating with the waves.

On the boat, Hawkeye slowly retracted the black knife.

"It's easy."

He, who came for the admission ticket, muttered to himself coldly.

In the process of competing for admission tickets, some people follow step by step, and some people use simpler and rude methods.

Regardless of the outcome of the process, almost every minute and every second, someone dies.

This is the first round of screening.

......

somewhere in the sea.

The bow of a dragon's head and the whole body of a dark ship broke through the waves on the sea.

This is Maud's Netherland.

Because Jaya is going to sit in the rear to assist the construction of the Sky City, Moder can only use conventional navigation methods when he goes to participate in the celebration this time.

"Is the thing kept in the hiding place the real ticket..."

Maud stood against the wind, looking down at the skull on the treasure map.

He grabbed this treasure map directly from the hider.

Although the rule is to exchange the head of an admiral for permanent pointers and treasure maps, powerful people do not necessarily have to abide by the rules.

So Maud's approach is very straightforward, and the snatch is over, so why waste time killing an admiral.

three days later.

Following the guidance of the permanent pointer, the Netherland came to a deserted island.

The island is not large in size and is a small island.

There is a mountain in the center of the island, and there are lush green forests in all directions.

This is a typical spring island, exuding strong vitality.

Following the instructions of the treasure map, Maud found a small rough wooden box under a natural trap overgrown with spiky plants.

Open the small wooden box, and on the red soft cloth pad is another permanent pointer.

Maud frowned slightly, picked up the permanent pointer, and saw the name engraved on the wooden frame of the permanent pointer at a glance.

"Shuixianxing Island?"

Maud was a little surprised when a familiar name jumped into his eyes.

He knew that this island was the end of every route, and the closest island to Lovedrew.

Unexpectedly, Festa put the celebration venue on Mercury Island, and specially created a permanent pointer for this purpose.

only--

Whether it is to arrive at Mercury Island along the magnetic route, or to mass-produce permanent pointers, it is not something that can be done on a whim.

This shows that Festa started planning a long time ago.

"Could it be a trap?"

Lafayette also knows the origin of Mercury Island, and because of this, it cannot be ruled out that the name on the permanent pointer is fake.

"Not very likely."

Maud shook his head.

From Raleigh and Jabba, he gained a level of understanding of Barrett and Festa.

Neither Barrett's unreasonable desire to fight nor Festa's obsession with grand celebrations are likely to make these elaborate preparations a child's play.

This guy who made a lot of shit in the live broadcast really wanted to make a grand celebration.

To this end, the venue for the celebration was placed on Mercury Island.

That is to say—

Those who get the Ralph Drew permanent pointer on Mercury Island can go directly to Ralph Drew from the Mercury Island.

"Let's sail."

Maud gives Lafayette the Mercury Island permanent pointer.

The gathering of multiple forces is a predictable development.

And Maud just wants to kill a bloody path from it, and then move towards the throne of the sky prepared for only one person.
