I only want to be a Shichibukai when I have Bengyu

"Fire Fist, Portcas D. Ace, didn't you say you gave up on this goal before? Why are you moving the general to Alabasta now?"

"A general is a valuable fighting force, especially at this juncture when a general is sent to the front end of the paradise, Sengoku. We need an explanation for this."

Holy Land Marie Gioia, right between.

The five old stars stared at Sengoku who was standing in the center of the room. It was helpless to say that the majestic marshal of the navy didn't even have a seat here, and he stood here like a lowly servant.

"What's the situation in the new world? There's information about CP0, so I shouldn't need to say more, right?" Warring States didn't care about the issue of seats. Rather than getting entangled in such trivial matters, he cared about the business of the discussion.

"The Whitebeard Pirates are made of a solid structure, with no gaps to exploit. The navy has lost many people in the new world, but so far it has still found nothing. Several operations that looked promising have failed in the end." ·····If there is no other breakthrough point, no matter how hard it is for the Whitebeard Pirates, they will still be able to gnaw at it, but now there is another entry point..."

"Fire fist?"

The old man with a blond beard, short blond hair, red skin, and a dark red suit spoke out the name.

"Yes, it's Fire Fist."

"Then why wasn't this Fire Fist included in the target list before?" the old man with long straight white hair and beard, wearing a dark blue suit asked.

"Because we were not sure before that which one was easier to acquire between the Whitebeard Pirates and Fire Fist, and we didn't have any information about Fire Fist's whereabouts at that time. Even if we launched a naval manhunt in the park... to be honest, Too much movement will easily alert the enemy. As long as Fire Fist is not stupid, just finding a desert island to hide for a period of time is enough to bring down the branch navy of Paradise..."

"Does that mean things are different now?"

A bald old man wearing white robes and glasses interjected.

"Yes, the situation is different now. The actions in the New World have been in vain. I am afraid that I will not be able to find a better opportunity in a short time. In contrast, Fire Fist's whereabouts in the paradise have been exposed. According to the reports from my subordinates, According to the information coming in, Fire Fist seems to have had a conflict with Prince Elvus’s men, and they are fighting fiercely in the desert of the Kingdom of Alabasta.”

Warring States maintained his consistent calmness and seriousness, "I have ordered the men who discovered Fire Fist to keep an eye on his whereabouts. Lieutenant General Gumir, the commander of the G2 branch, has also received the order and is heading to Alabasta. As long as Gumil can be in place, Hold Fire Fist until Kuzan arrives... Maybe we can capture Fire Fist alive."

Hearing this, the five old stars looked at each other, if that's the case... that's not bad.

The premise is that this time it can really succeed.

As Sengoku said, the Navy and CP have been struggling in the new world for so long, but they have never been able to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates. The Four Emperors are as powerful as a fish in water in their own territory, unless the Navy and CP attack by force. Otherwise, they will not be able to achieve their goals by just relying on small actions at present.

"Of course, there is actually a more secure way besides this." Warring States put forward a new possibility as if he was not done yet.

"Stop being so pretentious, Warring States, tell me what you have to say."

"Your Majesty, the Shichibukai."

"You mean... Socacio Elus?"

The old man wearing a black hat, with fluffy white curly hair and beard frowned slightly.

They control the CP organization and their intelligence is much better than that of the Warring States Period. Monsters like the Black Prince that can easily destroy the balance of the sea have always been the focus of attention. Elus' intelligence in Alabasta has always been their focus. Clearly.

but,

The Warring States Period indeed came up with an extremely safe method.

If you can get Elus to take action, it shouldn't be difficult to take down the Fire Fist. After all... the golden lion was chopped down by Elus. Although the Fire Fist is the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Captain, but compared to the Golden Lion, it is not on the same level.

"Alvus... that arrogant brat!" The bald old man holding a knife in his arms reached out and touched his shiny bald head. His face was not very good-looking, "If you want to force that brat to do something, you can't do anything." It can’t be done just by talking about it.”

The other five old stars also nodded in agreement.

That kid dared to fight with the members of CP0 when he first came to the Holy Land. He showed no sign of awe when he saw them. He was so arrogant that it gave people a headache. However, that kid was really powerful, powerful enough to affect the whole sea. The balance of power has to be admitted that it does have the ability to be arrogant.

"Your Majesty, the Shichibukai are under the direct jurisdiction of the World Government. Although I have the power to recruit them,... Prince Elus and the other pirates are not the same thing after all. Even if they refuse my order, , I don’t have any means of punishment, so..."

The Warring States words were not finished, but the meaning was very clear.

The King's Shichibukai, which is used to divide the naval power, is directly under the jurisdiction of the World Government. Compared with him, the naval marshal, the priority of the orders of the Five Old Stars is higher than his. If the Five Old Stars can command Al If Prince Us takes action, Kuzan won't need to make such a trip.

only--

"We will contact that brat Elus, but Sengoku, don't place all your hopes on this, Kuzan... tell Kuzan to move quickly, don't let Fire Fist escape."

Wu Laoxing's answer made Warring States quite helpless.

Unexpectedly, even the Five Old Stars were unable to summon Prince Eleus... We could only hope that Gumir could hold off Fire Fist until Kuzan arrived... It took too long, There were too many variables, and Warring States actually didn't have much hope. He was just unwilling to give up and had to struggle no matter what.

And if Elus can really be dragged into the game, he will be able to gain a general-level combat power when dealing with Whitebeard, and the navy's sacrifices will also be reduced a lot.

"Anyway, please give it a try. Fire Fist and Prince Elvus' subordinates are fighting fiercely. If there is any conflict between Fire Fist and Prince Elvus... maybe it's a very serious matter. Good opportunity."

"We'll give it a try."

The five old stars nodded.

Indeed, no matter what, you can't just give up without trying. That brat Elus has enjoyed the convenience brought by the King's Shichibukai, and he should pay the corresponding price.

————

Kingdom of Alabasta.

In the castle in the oasis on the outskirts of the capital Albana, Elus was sitting in a rocking chair on the terrace, watching the battle between Ace and Iska hundreds of kilometers away. At this time, the personal phone on the coffee table next to him started ringing. Getting up, he reached out and picked up the phone,

"Mr. Zefa, what's the matter?"

"Kuzan left Navy Headquarters an hour ago."

"...Is there any problem with this?"

"Kuzan's destination is Alabasta."

"...I see, it's for Ace, no, to be precise, it's Whitebeard..." Elus' eyes spanned hundreds of kilometers, watching Ace as if he were there. The battle with Iska, "The recent actions of the Navy are all centered around the guide against Whitebeard, right? The Navy Headquarters' intensive training for young generals, the activities of the New World CP and the Naval Intelligence Force, it's really a shame that you are now Just tell me..."

"I didn't understand why the Navy suddenly targeted Whitebeard before. During this period, I was busy training students and gathering information!" On the other end of the phone, Zefa stood in the corner of the training ground, a tired general officer. They were lying in confusion on the training field.

"What's the gain?"

"The order to deal with Whitebeard is not a decision made by the Navy Headquarters. This is an official secret order from the World Government."

"Five old stars?"

"I'm not sure. From the tone of my previous exploration of the Warring States period, it seemed like the Five Old Stars were all involuntarily... However, I've never heard of anyone standing on the head of the Five Old Stars before. , I’m not sure if it’s true or false, I can only leave it to you to judge.”

"Nine times out of ten, it's true. The Five Old Stars... It may be too much to say that they are puppets, but some things are indeed not theirs to decide. Whether it is the World Government or the Navy... they are just... Someone else’s chess piece.”

Elus, who was lying on the rocking chair, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Destroying the Whitebeard Pirates...is it Im's will?

"What do you know?" Zefa lowered his voice. This former naval admiral's understanding of the World Government is very shallow. In addition to educating students, he used to hunt pirates... and the warring states who were full of evil. Compared with , He and He, they know very little about the world government.

"There is a big shot hiding in the Holy Land! I know only this much about the big shot above the Five Old Stars. I don't know much more. But Zefa, you'd better not investigate this matter in depth. I don't want to lose Your Excellency, the future Admiral of the Navy of the Kingdom of Exmundo.”

"I'm not one of those teenage brats whose head is full of hormones. I still understand the principle of doing things within my ability."

Zefa was not very satisfied with Elvus's contempt for him, so he couldn't help but retorted.

"Yes, yes, you have run out of hormones a long time ago. Stop talking about it. I have someone else calling here." Elus quickly hung up the call, not giving Zefa any chance to fight back, but It’s not a lie if someone else contacts you.

Someone did call his personal phone number while he was on the phone.

"Hello everyone from Wulaoxing!"

Elus rolled his eyes and stopped watching the battle between Ace and Iska. There won't be any big changes for a while. Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to focus on Luffy. For Robin's sake, the Straw Hats, thanks to the ship's doctor Chopper's ability to communicate with animals, found a moving crab from the 'Moving Club' in the desert. For Robin's sake, the moving crab and the Straw Hats were on the move. Moving quickly towards their destination...

"Prince Elus, don't talk nonsense, I have orders."

"What if it's to capture Fire Fist? Please forgive me for refusing. The Kingdom of Exmundo used to be under the banner of Whitebeard. I will never do such an ungrateful thing." Elus said with a strong voice. His extreme attitude blocked the unspoken order.

"... Elus, do you know what you are talking about? Taking shelter from the Whitebeard Pirates? This is a heinous crime of colluding with pirates."

"Ah!"

Elus sneered and choked directly: "If it weren't for the incompetence of the world government and navy, why do you think our Kingdom of Exmundo wants to shelter under Whitebeard's banner? You take so much gold from the sky every year, but you can't You have provided us with reliable protection, and now you are accusing us of colluding with pirates? Do you... think I am a fool?"

"Elus, based on your words, we can deprive you of your status as the king of the Shichibukai right now. You understand..."

"It's up to you. Don't think you can fool me with such a shabby name. Anyway, the identity of His Majesty Shichibukai is becoming less and less useful to me now. If you really dare to deprive me of my identity... then... Your freedom, but I also have my freedom, no one can try to instruct me to do something I don’t want to do.”

"Arrogant brat."

"Stupid old man."

The conversation broke up unhappily.

The five old stars were angrily cursed by Eleus's unruly attitude, cursing him over and over again for his rudeness and arrogance, but no one said they wanted to deprive King Eleus of the Shichibukai. Identity, if at first Elus needed the name of King Shichibukai to help him expand his reputation, now it is just the opposite.

The Black Prince - Socacio Elus is already the flagship of the Shichibukai no less than Hawkeye. It is the existence of these two monsters, Hawkeye and the Black Prince, that gives the Shichibukai enough The power and prestige that serves to balance the navy and pirates.

If the Black Prince is kicked out of the King's Shichibukai at this time, God knows what kind of trouble this unruly brat will cause. If the King's Shichibukai falls into huge turmoil because of this, it is not appropriate. Holy Land Benefits.

It's better to acquiesce to this state for the time being, and then consider punishing this brat when he finds someone who can replace the Black Prince.

same,

When the five old stars used words to express their dissatisfaction with Elus, Aleus was also ridiculing the imagination of the old guys, trying to drag him into the muddy water, and even wanted to use him to When the shield responds to Whitebeard's wrath, it's really like a monkey going down a well to catch the moon - what a beautiful thought!

"Hmph! A bunch of damn old guys."

Elvus hung up the phone with force, "Wait for me, sooner or later I will get you all off the top!"

When his anger subsided, he calmed down and regained his composure. He watched the Straw Hats and the others take the Moving Crab to the abandoned castle not far from Albana. Farug and Lucci had already set up the stage. Waiting for the Straw Hats to arrive.
