Pirate's Swordsman

Naval Headquarters, Marin Vando.

"Everything that needs to be explained has been explained."

After hanging up the phone from Drake, Kizaru crossed his legs, crossed his hands on his chest, supported his chin, and said slowly: "Drake is a smart guy, he should know what to do in the future."

"This old man is not worried."

Warring States, who was across the desk, put down the documents in his hands after hearing this and rubbed his temples with a headache:

"The problem now is still that guy in the New World. He hasn't seen any movement for two years, and suddenly he went all the way to the paradise and took away the orphan of O'Hara. What on earth did he want to do..."

After all, the intelligence network of the Navy Headquarters is far from comparable to ordinary forces on the sea. In just two or three days, the real cause behind the battle in the capital of Alabasta was figured out.

"The historical texts collected by Charlotte Lingling all fell into his hands."

Kizaru thought for a while and said in deep thought, "There was news before that people from the Hayate Pirates were seen appearing on Fish-Man Island. They were probably heading for the lost text of the road sign. I don't know if they succeeded in the end. .”

"The odds are low, but there is no doubt that this guy suddenly became interested in historical texts."

Warring States snorted coldly, "Mary Joa is already putting pressure on me. I hope our headquarters can take action against the O'Hara orphan as soon as possible. Humph, that's easy to say. Everyone has been taken away by that guy. We What can be done to her?"

Like emperors, each of the four emperors who reigned in the second half of the Great Route were among the world's top warriors, possessing terrifying power under their command that could shake the entire world.

Even the entire navy headquarters is extremely wary and has to think twice before sending people into the opponent's home court.

"Forget it, let's not mention this for now."

Thinking of this matter, Sengoku couldn't help but feel a little irritated, and even his goatee was almost torn off, "Let's talk about the vacant Shichibukai position, Porusalino, do you have any suitable candidates there?"

"No."

Kizaru denied it without even thinking about it. He rolled his eyes and curled his lips and said, "The position of the Shichibukai that was vacated last time was vacant for two or three months before it was taken over by the man named Keli. Fill in the arrogance, it’s only been a few days, you don’t need to be in such a hurry, right?”

"The situation is different from before..."

Warring States shook his head and did not explain much. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he sighed with a wry smile, "Speaking of which, it seems that every time there is a vacancy in the position of Shichibukai in recent years, it is inseparable from that guy..."

It seems to be true.

Kizaru frowned, and he roughly reviewed, whether it was Doflamingo who died six or seven years ago, or Crocodile who just died in Alabasta a few days ago, these two Shichibukai The vacancies in the position were all created by Schiano.

Not to mention that two years ago, that guy was also a Shichibukai himself. He fell out with the navy and became the fourth queen. He also vacated a position as a Shichibukai...

what is this?

Kizaru held his chin and pondered. He vaguely remembered that before he became the Shichibukai, that terrifying man had always been known as the Vice-Admiral Killer within the Navy.

Is it necessary to add the title of Shichibukai Killer now?

………………

The first half of the Grand Line, Manche Island.

This is a small island. The warm currents from the surrounding sea areas make the climate of this island humid and hot all year round, making it uninhabitable.

However, because it is located in the middle of seven shipping routes and has an extremely advantageous geographical location, ships often dock on the shore. Over the years, it has gradually developed into a famous port. Business in the town is prosperous, especially the tavern industry, which has always been quite popular. .

It was late winter, the sky was bright, and there was a medium-sized pirate ship, bathed in the morning light, riding the wind and waves, heading towards Manche Island.

"Captain, Manche Island is ahead!"

A sturdy pirate with purple hair and beard was standing on the watchtower and saw the islands appearing in the sea.

Finally, he shouted excitedly down below.

"Hahaha! Kids, do you hear that? Manche Island has arrived, and we can finally have a good drink!"

The speaker was a burly, rugged man. His skin was tan, with fluffy black hair and thick chest hair. He wore two necklaces around his neck and different styles of jewelry rings on his fingers. He looked like a nouveau riche. .

It was Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach, who shortly after killed the captain of the fourth division, Thatch, and after seizing the Dark Fruit, defected from the Whitebeard Pirates.

At this moment, he stood in front of the deck, looking at the few subordinates, shaking the empty rum bottle in their hands, and laughed loudly:

"Damn it, I haven't had a drink for half a month, I can't bear it anymore!"

Everyone in the captain also laughed. These people were the earliest members of Teach's team. They had very different personalities. However, as pirates, no one disliked the taste of wine.

"Speaking of which, there are quite a few taverns and casinos on this island, and there are quite a few pirates who choose to vacation and rest here."

The helmsman, Basas, touched his chin and said:

"Captain, in my opinion, once the wine is over, we can start from this island. We can pick out some valuables from the drunken pirates and give them to the World Government."

"Hahahaha, I thought so too!"

Tiqi put down the empty wine bottle in his hand and grinned: "With so many prey, there must be a few with a bounty of over 100 million. As long as these guys are taken down, the position of the King's Qibukai will be I’m not far away!”

Several other subordinates nodded in agreement. They knew Teach's general plan.

The reason why his captain planned to become the King's Shichibukai was not because he wanted to use this special identity to gain any legal rights to plunder, but because he wanted to take the opportunity to enter the legendary and mysterious underwater prison Impel City, and start from the bottom of the city. Choose a suitable partner among the most vicious pirates.

Especially due to the death of Crocodile not long ago, the Shichibukai position that was originally filled is now vacant again. It can be said that this is the best time for them to realize their plan.

After going ashore.

The group of people went straight to the tavern and drank until late at night, drinking to their heart's content.

After waking up the next morning, several people, under Teach's instructions, set out from the hotel where they were staying, and began to divide the work and conduct a large-scale screening and search for the pirates who were still staying on Manche Island. Out of those pirates with a bounty of over 100 million.

The disadvantage of insufficient manpower showed up. After this busy period, several days passed. It was not until the morning of the fourth day that the crew of the Blackbeard Pirates reunited and sent the collected information to Ti. In front of Qi.

"These are all the pirates with a bounty of over 100 million, Captain."

Navigator Lafite pressed down the brim of his top hat and said in a low voice, "Except for the one who happened to leave three days ago, there are currently four billion-dollar pirates still on the island. There is absolutely no possibility of missing them."

"The first one, 'Silver Sand' Adolf, captain of the Silver Sand Pirates, has a bounty of 1 million Baileys."

"The second one is 'Poison' Finn, the captain of the Poison Pirates, with a bounty of 1 million Berry."

Tiqi sat on the sofa, his eyes lingering on the wanted photos of the two of them, his eyebrows raised, but he didn't say anything.

"It seems that you, Captain, are a little disgusted with these two guys."

Lafitte noticed Teach's subtle expression, immediately raised the corner of his mouth, and chuckled, "The bounty of just over 100 million is indeed a bit weak, but the remaining two are interesting, because they happen to be in the same place. On a pirate ship.”

As he spoke, Lafitte elegantly pulled out two wanted posters from under the pile of information and placed them side by side in front of Teach's eyes.

And as Teach glanced away, Lafitte's faint voice also sounded in his ears:

"Monkey D. Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, has a bounty of 2 million Baileys."

"Sanji Blackfoot, leader of the Straw Hat Pirates, bounty, 1 million Baileys..."
