Gecko Moria was taking a nap in the Gothic castle when he was suddenly awakened by a huge explosion and electric current spreading everywhere.
In the room full of lightning, the Shichibukai was suddenly awakened full of anger.
After Perona was hit by an electric current, she quickly hid under the bed after she resumed her movements, sticking her butt out and covering her ears as she shivered in fright.
Yeah, it's so scary!
Why is the lightning so terrifying?
It can actually be transmitted to the interior of the castle. Did Thriller Bark encounter a super extreme thunderstorm?
The Transparent Man Absalom and Dr. Hogback were also electrocuted, but they quickly recovered and ran towards Moria.
A large number of zombies also were knocked out and fell limply to the ground. There were even some weak zombies who directly lost their shadows and completely turned back into corpses.
"What's going on?! Who is it? Which bastard is it?!"
Gecko Moria was covered in smoke as he rushed out of the castle angrily. When he saw a second lightning column descending, he knew that it was not natural lightning, but it was lightning belonging to a devil fruit user.
Boooom~!
There was another loud noise, and another section of the Gothic Castle was blown away.
After Nami's two greetings, Moria was already looking at the golden ship in the sky with anger on his face.
He also knew a little bit about the new Shichibukai, Daddy Basire.
Whether it was briefings from Naval Headquarters or information posted in newspapers, he had read them all.
He just didn't expect that this kid would dare to invade his territory!
"Lord Moria!" x2
Absalom and Dr. Hogback soon stood next to their boss and looked at the airship in shock.
After a while, Perona in ghost form also cautiously flew out of the castle to see what was going on.
"Daddy Basire! You bastard! Get down here!"
Moria's mouth was full of sharp teeth and his eyes were red. He shouted angrily at the golden ship in the sky. Shadow bats appeared in a steady stream around his body, ready to attack at any time.
Now that Basire has come to his door, there is no need to think if he came with evil intentions or not.
This fight must be fought.
"Gecko Moria, you have been hiding here for so many years, and your belly got so big. It seems that you have become useless!"
As the Ark Maxim landed, Basire's domineering voice came out, which was also mixed with Conqueror's Haki, which suddenly caused countless zombies to fall down unconscious.
A large number of black shadows flew out from the zombies, but Gecko Moria quickly collected these shadows to prevent them from flying directly back to their real bodies.
Behind Basire, the corner of Crocodile's mouth twitched. What could he call it? Is this also dissing him?
He was defeated instantly when he challenged Whitebeard and had one of his hands chopped off. He was indeed hiding in Alabasta in Paradise, wasting more than ten or twenty years searching for the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapon Pluton.
Gecko Moria entered the New World and fought with Kaido of the Beasts, but was destroyed and all of his crew members died.
After escaping back to Paradise, he recruited the talented surgeon Dr. Hogback, accepted the recruitment of the World Government to become a Shichibukai, and then hid in the Florian Triangle to create his zombie army for more than ten years.
After these two guys became Shichibukai, they became like turtles and settled in a place to make plans just like Golden Lion Shiki.
For Moria, the blow of losing his entire crew was even more severe than the blow Crocodile suffered when he lost his hand. He actually let himself go completely and became more than ten times fatter. He also neglected his work and training all day long and left everything to his subordinates.
Inside his ship Thriller Bark, he waits all year to hunt down the pirates who stray into the Florian Triangle, complete his mission as Shichibukai, and collect shadows and corpses along the way.
As for Crocodile, he would at least personally exterminate pirates, create the image of a hero of the kingdom, and complete his mission as Shichibukai.
···
"Bastard, are you here just to provoke me?"
Gecko Moria was furious. The shadows he had just retracted were immediately swallowed by him, causing the aura on his body to begin to swell.
"I really want to see how much courage you still have after being beaten by Kaido"
Basire jumped off the Ark Maxim, smashing the ground into pieces as he landed, and stood in front of the pear shaped Gecko Moria with a look of contempt on his face.
Although Gecko Moria is 692cm tall, which is close to seven meters, and is taller than Whitebeard, this fat figure with a big belly is really not intimidating at all, and even looks a little funny.
"Don't mention that bastard's name!"
When Moria heard Kaido's name, his eyes immediately turned scarlet, this was a lifelong pain for him.
His loyal and good crew members all died in the battle at Wano Country.
"Are you scared to even hear his name? No wonder you have been hiding in the Florian Triangle for so many years!"
Basire ignored Moria's threat and said with a faint smile, while the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates also jumped off the Ark Maxim.
"Robin, Desire, let's go find Charlotte Lola."
Nami took a wanted notice of Lola, then took the other girls, ignoring Moria's zombie army, and left the frontal battlefield unscrupulously.
Charlotte Lola, the captain of the Rolling Pirates, with a bounty of 24 million beris.
Nami feels that together with Robin she can easily control Lola.
Zoro saw a samurai zombie in the zombie group, and looked at the sword in its hand with burning eyes. Is that the great grade sword Shusui?
Now Zoro has a lot of famous swords to choose from. Golden Lion Shiki's swords are also very good, but this kind of double-edged sword is not very suitable for his style.
So he hasn't changed his swords now. He still has Wado Ichimonji, Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri, and the sword Kashu had been given to the swordsman Golass.
"Captain John, Silver Axe? Have the corpses of these strong men turned into zombies here?"
Lafitte showed an astonished smile. It seemed that Gecko Moria's zombie army was quite promising.
"I kind of want the transparent fruit ability, but it doesn't fit my powerful image!"
Burgess looked at the lion-headed Absalom and stroked his chin, seeming to be considering the feasibility of eating the transparent fruit himself.
In the end, he gave up the idea. The transparent fruit ability seemed to be of no use to him.
"Law, look, another genius surgeon!"
Doc Q looked at Dr. Hogback, chuckled and said to the 'Death Surgeon' Trafalgar Law next to him.
A genius surgeon and a death surgeon, there should be some sparks between the two.
Seeing that the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates were so arrogant, Gecko Moria became even more angry, and a large number of black shadows on his body began to spread rapidly.
The way they didn't take him seriously at all, as if he were prey, reminded him of those bastards from the Beasts Pirates.
Kaido's brutal men slaughtered Moria's crew in a frenzy, leaving no one behind.
This left him with indelible psychological scars.
Now seeing the powerful crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates, he feels as if he is about to experience having his crew being wiped out again.
He couldn't accept this result.
"Daddy Basire, get out of my territory!"
'Tsuno-Tokage!'
The black shadow spread out from Moria's body, forming black spears coming out of the ground, quickly stabbing at all the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates.
He must strike first and kill the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates.
'Desert Espada!'
A huge sand blade cut diagonally across the ground, cutting most of Moria's black spears into two pieces.
"Long time no see, Moria!"
A desert tornado descended from the Ark Maxim and slowly appeared in front of Gecko Moria. At the same time, it also showed off its presence in front of the Big Daddy Pirates.
Although Crocodile knew that it was impossible for Moria's shadow spears to kill the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates, it did not prevent him from showing his strength.
"Crocodile!"
Moria's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that the arrogant Sand Crocodile would actually work under someone else's command.
The transparent man Absalom, the ghost princess Perona and Dr. Hogback all felt a bad premonition.
One Shichibukai, Big Daddy Basire, had already frightened them. Unexpectedly, there was also a former Shichibukai participating in the fight, so they had no chance of winning.
Perona, who was in a ghost state, had already disappeared into the wall with a panicked look on her face and fled away.
Her ghost form quickly returned to her real body, preparing to sneak away, and Absalom immediately entered a transparent state and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"Captain Moria, the situation is not good!"
Dr. Hogback's legs were a little shaky. The enemies that came were just too fierce, and he felt that the game might be really over today.
Two Shichibukai are invading their territory so they probably have no chance of winning.
To be honest, he really wanted to run away now.
"Damn it! Daddy Basire! Crocodile! What on earth do you mean by this?"
There was also a trace of cold sweat on Moria's forehead. He was not so conceited to think that he could fight one against two, but he still shouted ferociously and fiercely.
"Moria! Join my force! Then let's go attack a Yonkō together and maybe start a battle with Kaido, giving you a chance for revenge."
Basire grinned, stretched out his hand to invite Gecko Moria, and his tone was quite serious.
After all, Moria, a corrupt pirate, is easier to convince than Crocodile, and his ambitions are not that strong.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is impossible!"
"Aren't you afraid that the World Government will hold you accountable? I also have the position of Shichibukai!"
Moria subconsciously refused. Who the hell wants to be someone else's subordinate when he is already used to being the boss?
"That means you want to start a war with us, right? Besides, do you think I care about those rubbish orders from the World Government?"
The smile on Basire's face slowly faded, and his tone began to become cold. His crew members also began to gear up, each one excitedly staring at Gecko Moria and his subordinates, the zombies.
"You!"
Moria gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, glaring at Basire, the arrogant brat, with fear and anger in his eyes.
"It seems you haven't recognized the truth yet! Guys, come on, let him see what the gap is!"
Basire snorted coldly, waved his right hand, and ordered his men to attack.
Zoro, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed out like an arrow in an instant and went straight towards the samurai zombie, fearing that others would compete with him for this prey.
He now wants to grab the famous sword shusui. That blade looks very much in line with his taste and style.
"Wiiihahaha! Silver Axe's axe and armor are both good, so I'm going to take them!"
Burgess saw the sturdy armored zombie and immediately rushed forward. He wanted to strip off the equipment on that zombie.
Lafitte also took a fancy to the gold-inlaid flintlock gun and rapier on Captain John's body. They seemed to be a famous gun and swords, so he rushed out with his wings waving.
Van Augur fired quickly, and a cloud of blood splashed in the air somewhere.
"The sound of footsteps and the tiny marks left by walking revealed too many flaws."
He looked indifferently at the transparent man Absalom who showed his true form. The development depth of this transparent fruit ability user was so rubbish that he actually left so many fatal flaws.
Not to mention whether he could avoid Observation Haki's detection, just the sound of footsteps and tiny footprints can be easily detected by an expert.
"Ah! It's actually a seastone bullet!"
The lion-headed Absalom covered his shoulders in fear. The seastone bullet was now stuck in his shoulder, making him weak, unable to use the ability of the transparent fruit, and losing the ability to resist.
"Absalom!"
Gecko Moria immediately shouted nervously, because he didn't want to see his crew members die in front of him again.
He wouldn't care about those zombies since they could be resurrected after death, but these living crew members would really die if they were killed.
'ROOM!'
Dr. Hogback suddenly disappeared from his place next to Moria, leaving a small stone on the spot, and then appeared between Doc Q and Trafalgar Law.
"Law, your ability is so useful!"
Doc Q showed a sickly smile, while Dr. Hogback's face was pale and he dared not to move. He felt a lot of discomfort in his body.
He had also heard a little bit about Doc Q's reputation, and he knew that he had been tricked.
"It's all just tricks. Mr. Q's virus is stronger and can kill people invisibly."
Law smiled and exchanged pleasantries. After Basire defeated Crocodile, he knew that it was only a matter of time before they dealt with Doflamingo, not to mention the weird Dark Fruit ability.
If Captain Basire now takes Gecko Moria, another Shichibukai, under his command, then the Donquixote Family will not be able to put up a fight.
He now felt that the day of his revenge for Corazon's death was not far away, which gradually made him excited.
He couldn't wait for the day to come soon!
"Hogback!"
Moria watched with clenched eyes as another subordinate was mysteriously taken down. He was both angry and panicked.
Is the tragedy of having his crew wiped out really going to happen again today?
Moria wanted to save Absalom and Dr. Hogback, but Basire and Crocodile were staring at him, making it impossible for him to help.
The shadow claw he sent to help them was easily destroyed by Basire.
"Moria, your subordinates are so rubbish, they are even weaker than my minions! Come on, join the Big Daddy Pirates as well, otherwise, you and your men will have to die!"
Before Basire could speak, Crocodile spoke first. He knew about Basire's powerful methods and the Dark Fruit's weirdness. So Gecko Moria wouldn't be able to run away.
Instead of killing Moria and letting Basire retrieve the Shadow Fruit, he might as well help persuade him to surrender.
If Gecko Moria, another Shichibukai, also joins the Big Daddy Pirates, then Crocodile himself wouldn't feel so embarrassed.
After all, two Shichibukai joined, which shows that Basire is really strong. So it wouldn't be a shame for him to succumb to his command.
"Shut up! Crocodile! They're my crewmates!"
Moria watched helplessly as Absalom and Dr Hogback were both handcuffed with seastone by the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates, but he was unable to help.
"Oh, really? Then what can you pay for them now?"
Crocodile chewed his cigar and smiled contemptuously, and then said irritatingly, thinking that it would be good if Gecko Moria was forced to join the Big Daddy Pirates for the sake of his crew.
"..."
Moria gritted his teeth as he looked at Crocodile and Basire, his eyes full of reluctance. He wanted to save his men, but he didn't want to fall under Basire's command.
"Basire, let them go, I am willing to form an alliance with you, and you will be the leader of the alliance so I will follow your lead from now on!"
Moria said reluctantly, but he quickly stated his bottom line.
"Do you think Basire will need an ally like you? Moria, stop struggling and put down your pride!"
"Didn't you say that you care for your crew?"
Crocodile continued to taunt, feeling unhappy in his heart. If he could have formed an alliance with Basire, he would have chosen to form an alliance a long time ago instead of becoming a crew member of the Big Daddy Pirates.
Basire's Dark Fruit plundering ability is really too scary and despair inducing.
Even if he dies, Basire can still recycle his Devil Fruit ability and create another strong man.
This would make their death in vain, and there would be no regrets for Basire at all.
"Crocodile! Shut up, you dog! I am talking with Badire, what right do you have to interrupt?!"
Moria yelled angrily, why did Crocodile become so disgusting after joining the Big Daddy Pirates? It was really annoying.
"You!"
Crocodile's face immediately turned gloomy, and his expression was filled with murderous intent.
"Basire, let's kill him. You can give the Shadow Fruit ability to Burgess so that you don't have to worry about getting him a devil fruit every day."
Crocodile had a sand tornado on his hand, ready to attack the trash Gecko Moria at any time.
"Crocodile is right, I don't need allies. Moria, make your choice, join or die!"
A barrier blade appeared on Basire's hand, and the surging Emission Haki wrapped around it, full of oppression.
"Bastard!"
Moria watched with fear as Basire and Crocodile prepared to deal with him. He also saw that the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates had easily beaten his zombie army.
…
On the other side, Crocus and Brook have also landed on Thriller Bark and were waiting for an opportunity to snatch Brook's shadow back.
There is also a strong figure flying towards the island ship at high speed over the sea.
"Some people always have to be beaten up before they can see reality clearly!"
Basire stopped dawdling and wanted to show Gecko Moria his strength in person.
'Hakoku!'
The giant barrier blade in Basire's hand was briefly charged, and a terrifying spiral sword energy was sent at Moria instantly.
In fact, Basire doesn't have to force Moria to become his subordinate. At worst, he can deprive him of the Shadow Fruit ability and train another Shadow Fruit ability user.
And Crocodile, who had just been insulted, also took the opportunity to swing four sharp sand blades to block Moria's escape route.
'Kagemusha!'
Moria disappeared instantly, switching places with a shadow on the other side, avoiding Basire's terrifying attack.
'Doppelman!'
A black shadow clone that was about the same size as Gecko Moria ignored Crocodile's sand blade attack and went straight towards Basire.
A barrier armor appeared on Basire, and he ignored the Doppelman's attack and struck directly at Gecko Moria's body.
The fierce Conqueror's Haki erupted, disturbing Moria's mind, and the barrier blade in Basire's hand was stained with strange patterns.
'Seven Star Slash!'
Basire's figure flashed rapidly, leaving behind a series of afterimages, and instantly appeared in front of Moria, striking at him domineeringly.
Moria disappeared again, and exchanged places with his shadow to appear on the other side, but Basire's attack actually followed him, which made Moria's pupils tremble.
'Shadow shield!'
He crazily activated his Shadow Fruit ability and generated a shadow shield in front of himself, trying to block Basire's strange blow.
Uh-huh~
Moria vomited blood as he was thrown away, with a hideous wound nearly one meter long appearing on his body.
'Barrier: Death Duel Cage!'
As soon as Basire landed, he slapped his right hand on the ground, and a huge transparent barrier cage appeared, covering both Gecko Moria and Crocodile.
"This space is bigger and the release speed is faster."
Crocodile's mouth twitched slightly, not even his Logia Sand Fruit could help him escape from this barrier cage. He wondered if Moria could exchange places with his shadow from here.
Basire ignored Crocodile, and barrier spikes extended from the barrier cage, attacking Gecko Moria.
"Basire, don't force me!"
"Shadow's Asgard!"
Moria shouted angrily to gather all the shadows to provide him with power.
But at the next moment, he was stabbed again by the barrier spikes and covered in blood, and none of the shadows he was expecting appeared.
"Stop resisting, Moria. This barrier space is now completely isolated from the outside, and you have no shadow to consume!"
'Barrier giant fist!'
Basire rushed towards Moria again and gave him a terrifying punch, knocking out all the stomach acid and blood from him.
"You're much easier to deal with than Golden Lion Shiki!"
Basire grinned and looked at Moria who was kneeling and vomiting blood. He pulled out his seastone knife and stabbed it into his body.
Dealing with Gecko Moria was even easier than dealing with Crocodile.
He felt that Crocodile could also deal with this loser Moria now.
With the disappearance of the barrier cage, it means that the Shichibukai Gecko Moria has officially fallen.
"Basire, kill him, there is no need to keep this kind of trash!"
Crocodile said disdainfully, obviously still remembering that Moria had insulted him just now.
"Moria, now that you have seen my strength, tell me your final choice, will you join or die?"
Basire stood expressionlessly on top of Moria's fat belly, looking down at the downtrodden pirate.
The other battles gradually ended. Burgess blew up the zombie Silver Axe and stole his armor and axe. Lafitte cut off Captain John's limbs, grabbed his famous sword and gun, and also got a treasure wristband.
It can only be said that the shadows on these two big pirates were too weak to show their real strength, and they could only be beaten violently.
Zoro also defeated the zombie samurai Shimotsuki Ryuma, and the great swordsman entrusted Zoro with his black sword Shusui.
Brook's shadow on Ryuma also flew back to Brook's body.
But when Crocus and Brook tried to sneak away, they were discovered by the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates, and they were immediately surrounded. No one could take advantage of them.
If they don't pay the price, these two guys can't even think about running away.
As countless zombies were defeated, a large number of shadows returned to their original owners.
Nami and others also successfully found Charlotte Lola, controlled her, and took away the vivre card from her body.
When Nami wanted to search for Gecko Moria's treasure, she actually met Perona, who also had gone after the treasure and wanted to sneak away.
The negative ghost of Perona even caught Nico Robin, causing her to want to die on the spot.
Fortunately, Nami's Thunder Fruit also has a long-range attack, and she quickly stunned this weird ghost princess.
After Robin recovered, she showed a sinister smile to Perona and personally took care of the pink-haired twintails girl that made her show such an embarrassing side.
Facing the powerful and domineering Basire, Moria finally lowered his arrogant head for the sake of his own life and that of his subordinates.
However, with the bastard Crocodile as his 'role model', he felt that he wouldn't be too ashamed.
The two prideful Shichibukai, each finding solace in the other's situation, force their behavior into submission, desperately seeking justification.
Just as Doc Q and Trafalgar Law were treating Gecko Moria, a sturdy figure broke into the battlefield.
When Bartholomew Kuma saw the Big Daddy Pirates appearing in Thriller Bark, he was also stunned for a moment.
Especially when he saw the seriously injured Gecko Moria and Crocodile standing next to Basire, his usually expressionless poker face also showed a shocked expression.
The two sides fell into a brief tense atmosphere.
But soon, the officers of the Big Daddy Pirates surrounded the Shichibukai that had just arrived with excitement on their faces.
Could there be a third Shichibukai joining the Big Daddy Pirates?
Then, they can really compete with the Yonkō pirate groups.
Even Crocodile was a little eager to try. Anyway, his umbrella was broken, and he had to drag more people with him, leaving the other Shichibukai without umbrellas to protect themselves from the rain.
Basire also squinted his eyes and looked at Bartholomew Kuma dangerously. He was considering whether his death duel cage could completely trap him before he teleported with his devil fruit.
"Bahahaha, it's Kuma, long time no see!"
Basire walked towards Bartholomew Kuma with a smile on his face, but Kuma disappeared in an instant and appeared several hundred meters away. He was obviously very wary of Basire's barrier fruit ability.
"On behalf of the World Government, I came to inform Gecko Moria to prepare to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates."
Kuma kept a safe distance from Basire. The current Big Daddy Pirates were so terrifying that even Sand Crocodile had joined them.
Seeing how they were treating Gecko Moria, Basire seemed to have forcefully recruited Moria as well.
In this case, doesn't it mean that the Big Daddy Pirates already have two powerful Shichibukai as crew members?
The Big Daddy Pirates are really getting more and more dangerous.
Conquered two Shichibukai so quietly.
He had to notify Dragon quickly. Basire was as well hidden as the Revolutionary Army.
"War with Whitebeard?!"
Crocodile immediately exclaimed in shock. He didn't expect Basire's plan to be effective so quickly.
If they really succeeded in inducing a war between Whitebeard and the Marines, then the day when the Big Daddy Pirates become the new Yonkō crew is not far away.
"Moria has received the news and he will be leaving soon. Kuma, just pretend that nothing happened today, otherwise I know your identity clearly and wouldn't mind revealing it."
"Let's keep each other's matters a secret. If you don't talk, I won't talk about your matters either."
Seeing that Kuma was so wary, Basire knew that he could not trap this guy with a barrier cage, so he had to threaten him verbally.
He doesn't want to cause any problems in his plans now. After all, he also wanted to use his identity as Shichibukai to go to Impel Down.
"...!,I see."
"But I hope that Captain Basire will hand over a batch of memory alloy to me as soon as possible."
Kuma's pupils shrank. He knew that Basire seemed to know his identity. When the mark on the Big Daddy Pirates' island ship disappeared, he knew that he was not a simple guy.
"Bahahaha, it's a pleasure to work with you. I'll try my best to push your order forward."
"And I also have a cooperative project. I'm looking for an opportunity to rescue the okama king and the little crab. You ask your boss, the man in green robe, to send over the Kamabakka Kingdom's attack dishes and vitality recipes in the next few days."
"It would be best if you can also send over a few copies of that big-brained scientist's technological research."
Basire said with a smile. There were a lot of hidden things in his words, which shocked Kuma.
Just how does know so much?
"I'll think about it."
Bartholomew Kuma was silent for a long time. After saying something, he disappeared instantly and left Thriller Bark at high speed. He started making phone calls to the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, in the air.
Basire knew so much that it made Kuma feel a strong sense of crisis.
However, Basire, this conspirator, seems to still want to cooperate with the revolutionary army. This can be tried.
He needs to discuss it with Dragon first. They need to figure out what this guy Basire wants to do.
…
Seeing Kuma leave, Basire also fell into a brief thought.
This meeting should have little impact for now and all his plans can still proceed.
With Gecko Moria's surrender and joining the crew, three of his subordinates also joined the Big Daddy Pirates.
Basire didn't have much thought to persuade Crocus and Brook to surrender, and directly used the island whale Laboon as a threat to ask them to work for the Big Daddy Pirates and redeem themselves.
Basire and Moria had to rush to Naval Headquarters to attend the gathering of the Shichibukai.
Thriller Bark, the terrifying three-masted island ship, also rose into the sky with Van Augur's Float Fruit ability.
To be honest, Basire didn't want this ugly ship at all. At most, he just wanted to take Oars and a few good zombies.
But Gecko Moria persisted, unwilling to give up this island ship that had so many memories.
Basire had no choice but to accept and take the ship with them.
The Big Daddy Pirates obtained all of Crocus' treasures from Laboon, the island whale, including medical books, various rare medicinal materials, and medical equipment.
Most of these things were placed in the medical laboratory of the Groseade.
Because of the whine of the island whale Laboon, Basire allowed Crocus to return to Laboon's belly to accompany it, but Brook had to stay on the Groseade for a while.
Only when Crocus or Brook make a huge contribution can they redeem themselves.
For example, Crocus wants to make his own research contribution to the longevity medicine, rejuvenation medicine, Rumble Ball, beast evolution medicine... these rare medicines for the Big Daddy Pirates.
The Three-masted Island Ship Thriller Bark and the Ark Maxim merged with the Groseade and they left the Florian Triangle.
They crossed Sabaody Archipelago and quietly stopped at the edge of the Calm Belt near Impel Down, standing by and ready for the next plan.
Only the golden Ark Maxim flew towards Marineford.
This time, the World Government's forced summons of the Shichibukai was more urgent, and it was necessary to gather them to make war arrangements.
Elite Marines from all over the world have also arrived at Naval Headquarters one after another, preparing for this war, intending to eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates in one fell swoop.
According to the information from Marine and the CP organization, the Whitebeard Pirates have disappeared from the sight of many forces, and they don't know where they went.
Even the large number of affiliated pirate groups under Whitebeard's command also disappeared.
But everyone with a discerning eye knows that the Whitebeard Pirates must have left the New World and were going to Marineford.
Kaido also wanted to rush to the Naval Headquarters to join in the fun, but in order to avoid further escalation of the war, the Red Hair Pirates actually squatted at the entrance of the Beasts Pirates' territory, blocking Kaido directly outside the Country of Wano.
If Kaido dares to leave his territory, then red-haired Shanks will attack the Beasts Pirates that are left behind without Kaido.
This made Kaido so angry that he had a big fight with Shanks in the sea near Wano without saying a word.
This local war was also shocking, but in the end Kaido couldn't do anything to red-haired Shanks, so he could only return to Onigashima to drink alone in anger.
The Big Mom Pirates were already gearing up and were ready to seize the Whitebeard Pirates' rich territory.
As long as Whitebeard falls in Marineford, she dares to immediately seize the territory, she even wants to take Fish Man Island.
As for the Straw Hat Pirates, they have just arrived at the Capital of Water Seven, but under the orders of Luffy, they only repaired their pirate ship and continued towards Sabaody Archipelago.
They haven't encountered any fierce life-or-death battles along the way, and their current bounties are still very ordinary and not very eye-catching.
With only about ten days left before Fire Fist Ace's public execution, Luffy wanted to rush to Naval Headquarters faster.
The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock refused the first call from the World Government and Naval Headquarters and did not go to Marineford to attend the gathering of the Shichibukai.
This made both the World Government and the Marines very dissatisfied and wanted to cancel Boa Hancock's Shichibukai position.
So for this meeting, only five members arrived at Naval Headquarters, because Jinbe has been in jail for several days.
···
"Fufufu~, I haven't been to this place for a long time."
Donquixote Doflamingo grinned widely and walked as if he owned the place. He laughed wildly and stepped on the port of Marineford.
There was a huge figure behind him. He was another Shichibukai, the tyrant Bartholomew Kuma. At this time, he was holding a book and walking behind expressionlessly.
Inside Marineford's conference hall.
This time, the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk, was very punctual and even arrived early. He was already sitting in his seat drinking coffee, and his supreme sword, Yoru, was placed casually behind his chair.
"Fufufu~, Mihawk, why are you the only bastard here? Do those other guys look down on the forced summons of the World Government?"
Doflamingo walked into the conference hall, laughed and jumped directly onto the huge table where the meeting was going to take place. Like a gangster, he squatted on the table, picked up a bottle of red wine and poured it into his mouth.
He didn't expect someone to come later than him, he was really too arrogant.
The white-haired Vice Admiral Crane rested her chin on her hands and looked at Doflamingo, the evil villain bastard, expressionlessly.
"Fufufufu~, these Marines have no manners at all. When they saw me coming, they didn't even take the initiative to pour tea or wine. They are really a bunch of dog slaves!"
Seeing that Mihawk didn't care about him, Doflamingo, the former Celestial Dragon, had his expression darken, but soon he showed a grin, and the five fingers on his right hand twisted and twitched rapidly.
Several Marine generals standing around the conference hall suddenly pulled out their weapons and began to attack each other. In an instant, blood splattered and a commotion broke out.
"No! I'm sorry! I can't control myself!"
A Marine Captain slashed a Marine Commodore with his sword. At this time, tears were already in his eyes, and he shouted in fear, while the sword in his hand was still slashing.
"Enough! Doflamingo!"
Sengoku slapped his palm on the conference table and let out a roar, scolding to stop the bastard Doflamingo.
He wanted to kill this lawless guy himself. Doflamingo was the murderer who shot Rosinante with his own hands.
Rosinante was not only Doflamingo's biological brother, but also the deeply affectionate adopted son of Sengoku.
This hatred is not something that can be forgotten.
"Fufufufu~, don't be angry! Fleet Admiral, I'm just helping you discipline these ignorant slaves!"
Doflamingo grinned, took back his Parasite Strings with a wave of his hand, and then jumped back from the table to the chair.
However, he was still squatting on the armrest of the chair, with a joking and cruel smile on his face.
It seems that he was not worried about Sengoku trying to do something to him.
At this time, there was a loud noise from the Marines outside. Even the air defense siren was heard, and the sound similar to a helicopter came from the air.
A golden ship actually appeared directly in the sky above Marineford, which can be described as extremely daring.
As the height of the golden ship decreased and a Vice Admiral took charge of the order, the air defense alarm was quickly turned off.
"It's Big Daddy Basire's ship!"
"Damn it, this bastard actually brought a pirate ship here!"
Some Marines were extremely unhappy and started to curse. A big pirate actually drove a pirate ship above their sacred Marineford headquarters. This was a provocation and insult to the Marines.
Ignoring the Marines' dissatisfied remarks, Basire jumped directly onto Marineford's square, creating a large crater with cracks everywhere.
Then a large group of black bats appeared behind him, quickly forming the tall Gecko Moria.
"Naval Headquarters, Marineford."
Basire looked at this magnificent Marine fortress, grinned, and showed an arrogant smile. Then the two of them shook their black cloaks one after the other, and stepped into the Naval Headquarters unscrupulously.
Two Marine Captains who looked like guides quickly ran forward and carefully brought the two arrogant Shichibukai to the Marine conference hall.
"Fufufufu, these two guys actually came together?"
The joking smile on Doflamingo's face turned gloomy in an instant. He was not afraid of the reprimand and revenge of the Marine's senior management because he had the support of the Five Elders and Celestial Dragons, but he was very afraid of Daddy Basire, who knew a large number of his secrets.
And this guy also has great strength. Not only did he overthrow Crocodile and Golden Lion Shiki, but his subordinates are also very powerful.
Now Basire is still so close to this trash Gecko Moria. Have they already reached some kind of cooperative relationship?
Bartholomew Kuma's expression didn't change much, but he knew that Basire had subdued Gecko Moria.
In the past few days, after discussions between him and Dragon, they had planned to continue to reach further cooperation with the Big Daddy Pirates. To this end, Dragon really took out the secret recipes of the Okama Kingdom to trade.
"Bahahaha! Sorry, we are late!"
Basire strode into the conference room carelessly, found a normal seat and sat down. He didn't look like a newcomer at all.
Moria in the back also sat in a huge seat with an expressionless face.
The five Shichibukai have finally arrived.
"Fufufu~, Basire, we finally meet, you bastard!"
Doflamingo squatted on the armrest of the chair with his fingers twitching irregularly. He grinned and gritted his teeth as he said fiercely.
The eyes behind his pink glasses were looking at the newcomer kid who dared to blackmail him. His eyes were full of murderous intent, but also full hidden fear.
"Hello everyone!"
Basire waved his hand, casually destroying the transparent threads that came towards him, and turned to look at the pink flamingo.
"Hey Mingo, thank you for sending me the Logia Snow Fruit. Monet is very smooth and refreshing. I have really enjoyed her presence!"
"How about you send another one next time? I happen to be short of a maid. I heard that the weapon girl is quite good."
"I wonder if His Majesty the King, who has so much wealth and subordinates, is willing to give up some of his people?"
Then he intertwined his fingers and supported his chin as he continued to smile at Doflamingo with a mocking look on his face.
"You!"
Veins popped out on Doflamingo's forehead, and his twitching fingers grabbed the armrest of the chair strongly, causing it to break, and a wave of haki burst out from him.
"You can't even let go of a maid, right?"
Basire grinned, and with a violent surge of Conqueror's Haki, he instantly suppressed Doflamingo's Haki, and strong winds were produced by the collision between the two.
Mihawk, Bartholomew Kuma, and Gecko Moria all looked at these two lawless guys.
Using their Conqueror's Haki in front of the Fleet Admiral in Marineford, really arrogant!
The Marines standing guard around the conference hall felt as if their heads had been hit by a sledgehammer, and they began to shake.
"Enough! Stop it!"
A magnificent and solemn Conqueror's Haki appeared, instantly stopping the two from continuing to fight.
The Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who was glowing with golden light, roared angrily, causing both Basire and Doflamingo to stop their altercation.
Because this is Naval Headquarters, Marineford!
There are three Admirals, two candidates for Admirals, and more than a dozen elite Vice Admirals.
Not to mention there are old monsters like Sengoku and Garp.
"We didn't call you here just to watch you fight! Please be quiet!"
Sengoku's tone was filled with anger, and his Conqueror's Haki and the golden light of the Buddha Fruit quickly dissipated.
"You have been summoned this time to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates. I hope you won't mess up our plans because of personal issues."
In fact, it is a good thing for the Marine that the Shichibukai are hostile to each other, because they are afraid that they will gather into a group, which will cause endless disasters.
The next moment, another golden light appeared and gathered in one position.
Marine Admiral, Kizaru Borsalino. He only joined the meeting at this time, even later than the unruly Shichibukai.
Sure enough, seeing Kizaru appear, Doflamingo became more at ease.
The reason why Kizaru was arranged to attend this meeting was because the slacker Aokiji was still on his way back.
As for Akainu, a hard-blooded Admiral who has no tolerance for pirates, they didn't let him attend because they are afraid that he might directly start a war with these Shichibukai after attending.
"Fufufufu~, the Marines are finally willing to make a big move!"
Doflamingo said with a deep smile, he just likes to see the world in chaos. In short, the more chaotic the better, it is best to drag down the other three Yonkōs as well, and even the Celestial Dragons if possible.
"I want Whitebeard's body!"
Gecko Moria also spoke, obviously coveting the body of the leader of the Four Emperors and the strongest man in the world. If Whitebeard was made into a zombie, he would be very powerful, right?
"I just want to see the strength of the strongest man in the world."
Mihawk said lightly while thinking that until now, he has never fought against Whitebeard, which makes him feel a little regretful.
Bartholomew Kuma did not speak and continued to remain silent, as if the decision of this meeting had nothing to do with him.
"Bahahaha! I have no objection, but why haven't we seen the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock? I'm interested in seeing just how beautiful she really is."
Basire didn't care at all how Naval Headquarters would arrange the tasks of the Shichibukai, and acted like a pervert who didn't care about the war.
This made the other Shichibukai and the Marine executives present cast him a look of contempt.
This meeting between the Marines higher ups and Shichibukai ended in bargaining with different ideas, and everyone received their own task arrangements.
During this time, the Shichibukai must stay on the islands near Marineford and are not allowed to leave too far, because they must be ready to assemble at any time.
Sengoku also wanted Basire to stay to draw some of his blood and do a physical examination, but Basire immediately boarded the Ark Maxim with Moria and fled.
Vice Admiral Momonga, who returned without success last time, once again looked grim and received an order from Sengoku. He was going to Amazon Lily again to forcibly recruit the pirate empress Boa Hancock.
However, this time the World Government and Naval Headquarters directly issued orders and threats. If Boa Hancock dared to refuse, they would send these five temporarily idle Shichibukai to practice a local war before the war with the Whitebeard Pirates.
This pirate empress only wants to enjoy the benefits of being a Shichibukai, but doesn't want to assume the position's obligations, so it's better to just take her down.
The World Government does not need these disobedient Shichibukai.
At this time, aboard the Golden Ark Maxim, Basire and Moria were just about to take a rest when a huge figure teleported over.
Bartholomew Kuma suddenly appeared on Basire's ship.
"Hey, Kuma, you can come, but you mustn't leave your mark on my ship!"
Basire's face suddenly darkened and he stared at Kuma's little movements. Until now, he didn't understand the principle of the Paw Fruit's space marking ability.
He didn't want to dismantle the Ark Maxim just like he dismantled the port of the Groseade in order to remove the mark.
And he suddenly remembered that there was a space mark on Gecko Moria's Thriller Bark, and that Thriller Bark was now next to the Groseade, floating on the edge of the Calm Belt on the side of Impel down.
This is a bit troubling.
If Kuma goes to Thriller Bark on a whim, he might discover some of his plans.
After hearing Basire's warning, Kuma's hand holding the book stopped making small movements as expected.
To be honest, he really wanted to leave his own space mark on Basire's ship.
It's not that he wants to lead people to raid the Big Daddy Pirates, he just wants to leave a good place and send some people here to save their lives, such as the crew of the Straw Hat Pirates or his daughter Bonney.
"Captain Basire is imagining things!"
A gentle voice without emotion came out from Kuma's paralyzed face. He raised his hands to show that he held no malice.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Basire's Observation Haki always pays attention to Kuma's movements in order to prevent him from quietly leaving any marks on the Ark Maxim.
"Your shape memory alloy is very good, we need more, and we also want to get more batches of Rumble Ball No.1"
"If you can, Rumble Ball No.2 and No.3, we'd like a little bit of that, too."
Kuma was like a robot, telling him his purpose. In the past few days, the Big Daddy Pirates and the Revolutionary Army had successfully connected and completed part of the deal.
That kind of Rumble Ball No.1 can actually give Zoan Devil fruit users a fourth stage of transformation, while numbers 2 and 3 can grant a fifth and a sixth stage of transformation.
This shocked Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army. After analysis, they even thought that there might be a Rumble Ball No.4 in the hands of the Big Daddy Pirates, which could allow Zoan ability users to have seven transformations.
If this is the case, this is really a very important strategic material.
They did not expect that the scientific research technology of the Big Daddy Pirates had reached this level.
Shape memory alloys, Rumble Balls, longevity potions, rejuvenation potions, beast evolution potions, alloy weapons, various alloy knives and swords that are as hard as graded blades, and even exaggerated submachine guns.
Five-shot, ten-shot, twenty-shot, continuous-shot submachine guns of various grades and prices made the revolutionary army feel numb.
This completely overturned the revolutionary army's imagination of a pirate group. The island ship Groseade is simply a scientific research kingdom.
"As long as you bring something of sufficient value, everything will be easy to negotiate."
Basire grinned and said, of course he has a lot of good things under his possession. He also wants to take advantage of the time before the Summit War starts to go to Fish-Man Island to grab the Energy Steroid pill.
In this way, their Big Daddy Pirates can develop a new drug.
As for the side effects, that's none of their business.
They are only responsible for research and production, and customers only need to consume it to achieve the effect of becoming stronger.
Of course, Basire's medical team will try their best to improve this dangerous drug to achieve better results and reduce its side effects.
"Then I will leave it to you. This is our purchase list and payment list."
Kuma took out two lists, which were densely filled with supplies and weapons needed by the revolutionary army. In addition to gold and treasures, the payment list also included various science researches and technologies, including some of Vegapunk's discoveries.
"Awesome! Your boss really sees far and has a big heart!"
Basire took a look at the list and handed it over to the smart crew members composed of Lafitte, Crocodile and others for discussion to avoid the leakage of certain technologies.
"Captain Basire is also very ambitious."
Kuma also had an almost imperceptible smile on his paralyzed face. The moment Basire took over the list and read it, the pink bear paw on his palm flicked slightly under the white gloves.
"It's all for self-protection. The World Government is too powerful. I believe you also understand it."
Basire said casually, while his Observation Haki was still paying attention to Kuma, but he probably didn't expect that the big man who seemed to be simple and honest, would place a mark without even realizing it.
This guy with more than ten years of undercover experience successfully found an opportunity to complete his trick.
However, he would never reveal this secret unless necessary, otherwise Basire might fall out with them on the spot.
This is a serious show of bad faith, but he still did it. After all, one more mark and one more choice may sometimes even be the key to saving one's life.
"Captain Basire has so many sources of information."
Kuma said in admiration because they still don't know where Basire's information came from.
This has made Dragon feel a sense of crisis, and he currently does not dare to antagonize the Big Daddy Pirates for fear of them exposing too many of his secrets.
Then Kuma just left and headed for the Sabaody Archipelago, because Dragon asked him to help pay attention to the Straw Hat Pirates, and if necessary, send them away to train. Right now they are just too immature and not qualified to enter the New World.
Basire, on the other hand, wants to get his ship coated in the Sabaody Archipelago and prepare to go towards Fish-Man Island. In addition to snatching the Energy Steroid pills, he also wants to meet the mermaid Princess Shirahoshi.
When the Ark Maxim approached Sabaody Archipelago, Bartholomew Kuma had already teleported away in advance.
He didn't want the World Government and the Marines to discover that he and Basire were too close, which would cause unnecessary suspicion and exposure.
Seeing the big man leaving in a hurry, Basire closed his eyes slightly and thought carefully.
"Lafitte, ask Morgans about the location of the Straw Hat Pirates. By the way, let's sort out their information."
Based on the previous intelligence reports, Basire felt that the Straw Hat Pirates should have almost arrived at Sabaody Archipelago.
Kuma should be here to protect them this time. Dragon obviously knows his son's ability to get into trouble.
"Understood, Captain!"
Lafitte smiled slightly and started working immediately. He took out his den den mushi and called Big News Morgans, while sorting out the recently collected intelligence.
When they landed at the coating factory of Sabaody Archipelago, Lafitte had already handed the information to Basire.
Straw Hat Luffy defeated the Alvida Pirates with a bounty of 5 million beris and the Buggy Pirates with a bounty of 15 million beris in East Blue.
Later, he caused a riot in the Marine 153rd branch, causing a huge statue to collapse, taking down more than 30 Marines. His initial bounty was set at 20 million beris.
In the Grand Line, they defeated the Dagger Pirates with a bounty of 38 million beris, and the Pheasant Pirates with a bounty of 55 million beris. Luffy's bounty was increased to 60 million beris.
Then there was a riot in the Marine G-8 fortress. During the pursuit, the arsenal was detonated by chance, causing hundreds of Marines to be killed or buried in flames. The consequences were extremely bad, and his bounty was increased to 100 million beris.
In the Capital of Water Seven, he fought with X Drake, who had a bounty of 222 million beris, for several hours, and finally ended with a truce for unknown reasons.
During the battle, the battlefield between the two spread to a large bank. As a result, the two robbed 2 billion beris from the bank together and quickly fled Water Seven. Straw Hat Luffy's bounty rose to 200 million beris.
However, according to Morgans' secret information, the big bank in the capital of Water Seven was not robbed of so much money at all. It was just that they passed the blame to these two people. These two guys could only rob two to three hundred million beris at most.
Later, the Straw Hat Pirates met Marine Admiral Aokiji on Bosuzu Island, and successfully escaped from his hands, thus becoming famous.
In the attached photo from a tricky angle, Straw Hat Luffy was shown shattering Aokiji's ice body, and the bicycle was destroyed by a slingshot sniper. His bounty increased to 250 million beris.
Now the Straw Hat Pirates, like the Drake Pirates, have landed in Sabaody Archipelago and are one of this year's supernovas.
Basire was a little stunned when he saw this information. Is this the protagonist's ability to make trouble?
Without the incident of Crocodile, the Shichibukai, and the incident of Enies Lobby when they rescued Nico Robin, so many big things happened, raising Luffy's bounty again and again.
Moreover, Aokiji Kuzan… They actually used his reputation as a stepping stone to lift Straw Hat Luffy and his crew to a level that did not belong to them.
What Basire didn't know was just how dark Aokiji's face was when the news came out, and how cheerful Garp was as he kept praising this great disciple.
He also didn't expect that the reporter from the World Economic News Agency had such an amazing angle to capture the picture. This was completely distorting the facts.
For this reason, Aokiji was scolded by Sengoku and punished by a large salary deduction, and he was also looked down upon and ridiculed by Admiral Akainu.
Even the World Government Five Elders personally spoke out and punished this lazy Admiral, giving him a one-time penalty for the next year's vacation. At the same time, they asked him to capture a large number of pirates as soon as possible to clear his name and restore the reputation of the Marine Admirals.
"Really...I have nothing to say!"
Basire casually threw the information on the table, chuckled, and said a little speechlessly.
He also took a look at this year's supernovas. Except for the pirates he recruited and hunted, there was almost no difference from the original supernovas.
Straw Hat Luffy, X Drake, Basil Hawkins, Scratchmen Apoo, Urouge, Jewelry Bonney...
Basire looked at this information and guessed that Bartholomew Kuma came not only for the Straw Hat Pirates, but also to take a look at his daughter Jewelry Bonney.
They are really a group of guys with complicated relationships.
Due to the appearance of Basire, the Kid Pirates and the Fire Tank Pirates were destroyed. With Law and Zoro under his command, the number of Supernovas this year has almost shrunk by half, and they are no longer the worst generation.
Basire thought that since he had killed Kid, the supernova with the highest bounty. The strongest supernova this year would be Luffy with his 250 million beris bounty, beating out Basil Hawkins' 249 million beris.
Unexpectedly, two more wanted posters for Supernova were released, which stunned Basire for a moment.
Phoenix Pazer, the captain of the Phoenix Pirates, with a bounty of 100 million beris, and has just reached the passing line for becoming a supernova.
The second was Whitebeard Jr Edward Weevil, with a bounty of 400 million beris. This makes him the most powerful supernova this year.
And there is information that people from the World Government have begun to contact Weevil and are preparing to recruit him as the new Shichibukai to fill the position of Jinbe.
Looking at the two latest bounty orders and the titles of these two supernovas, Basire smiled.
Damn it, Naval Headquarters is about to start a war with the Whitebeard Pirates, and they actually gave someone the nicknames Whitebeard Jr and Phoenix.
Are the World Government and Marines trying to cause trouble?
Or do they want to humiliate the Whitebeard Pirates?
This means that the Whitebeard Pirates will be destroyed and a large group of pirates will soon replace them?
Basire also didn't expect that Miss Buckingham Stussy would dare to take the lead and use Whitebeard's name before Edward Newgate died.
This is so courageous!
She is not afraid that the Whitebeard Pirates and his affiliated pirates will take action against them.
"This butterfly effect seems a bit too big…"
Basire murmured and remembered that he had wanted to find Edward Weevil and Issho before.
The Ark Maxim landed quickly on the coating factory. The workers were well prepared and immediately greeted Basire, the Shichibukai, respectfully and kept flattering him.
At the same time, they promised to assign the best coaters and the best coating materials to perfectly coat this golden ship.
Basire left a few crew members to guard the pirate ship. Taking advantage of the coating time, he wanted to take a walk around Sabaody Archipelago to see if he could encounter these supernovas.
Especially Weevil, the powerful idiot. This guy can single-handedly kill 16 affiliated pirate groups under the Whitebeard Pirates.
Women like Nami, Robin, and Desire also wanted to go shopping and have fun, and other officers and crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates also wanted to have fun.
Basire did not stop them. After all, in Sabaody Archipelago now, their Big Daddy Pirates are the strongest pirate group, and no one dares to mess with them.
These crew members formed their own teams, took a lot of money, and started their own luxurious journey through Sabaody, while also searching for those supernovas.
Basire also started walking around with his escort team, including Foxy with the Slow Fruit, Gin with the Gate Fruit, and Noko with the Castle Fruit.
Law and Crocodile also followed him, while Gecko Moria, the fat shut-in, chose to guard the ship while he worked on transforming and strengthening the corpses of Golden Lion Shiki and Enel.
As for the three guys with strong backgrounds, namely Straw Hat Luffy, X Drake, and Jewelry Bonney, Basire will not plan to touch them for the time being.
Besides, Bartholomew Kuma might be nearby, guarding Luffy and Bonney.
But if he were to encounter supernovas such as Basil Hawkins, Scratchman Apoo, and Urouge, he won't even let them think about running away. Even if he doesn't go to Fish-Man Island for the time being, he has to capture them first.
In the lawless area of the Sabaody Archipelago, the Supernova Pirates gathered in this area, including the Straw Hat Pirates who came in a hurry along the way.
They were now asking for information about Fire Fist Ace everywhere. Even without the Octopus Hachi's help, they still found Shakky's Rip-off Bar by chance and went to find out the information.
It was this fateful encounter that almost made them be blackmailed by the sinister Shakky.
But fortunately, the name Monkey D. Luffy, the Straw Hat, and the name Shanks made her relent.
In fact, Shakky also knew the conversation between Rayleigh and Shanks, and had learned about the identity of Luffy.
What's more, she is also an information dealer. So she has known most of the information about the Straw Hat Pirates for a long time, and now she is just having fun by playing tricks on these idiots.
Under the guidance of Shakky, Luffy and his crew are going to the human auction house in the illegal zone to retrieve Rayleigh who sold himself to make some money.
Here, they once again met the dinosaur man X Drake, the fortune-teller Hawkins, and Jewelry Bonney, the pink haired woman with a stomach that is like a bottomless pit.
Luffy felt like he had found his kin, and finally found someone who could eat like him.
On the other side, Miss Buckingham Stussy has completed the second conditional negotiation with the people from the World Government.
She doesn't want to participate in this top-level war with the Whitebeard Pirates at all, but she can promise that after this war, she can consider making her son join the Shichibukai.
At that time, they also helped the Marines to kill the affiliated pirate groups under the Whitebeard Pirates.
The two parties reached a preliminary verbal commitment on these conditions.
···
Basire led his men and also walked into the illegal zone of groves 1 to 29.
"Crocodile, please wear your mask and don't attack casually."
Basire reminded Crocodile not to cause any trouble at this time.
However, even if he is exposed, at most it will only make the Marines more wary of him and not dare to do anything to the Big Daddy Pirates.
"I'm not a reckless man"
Crocodile snorted and said that he could endure it for now. Because on the battlefield of Marineford, he would be able to participate in the battle openly, and he also wanted to kill Whitebeard himself.
"Then go to the slave auction and have a look. I heard that it is Doflamingo's territory."
Basire grinned and walked straight to the largest auction on grove No.1 to experience the darkness of the world.
That guy Doflamingo actually stayed alone in Naval Headquarters to discuss other matters, and he heard that he was going to the Holy Land of Mariejois.
This guy is really brave and has no worries that the Five Elders will kill him even though he dared to threaten the Celestial Dragons before.
However, Doflamingo does have a lot of supply now, making both the World Government and Celestial Dragons want to cooperate with him.
Therefore, the Five Elders and Celestial Dragons will not get rid of this valuable chess piece for the time being.
As for Mihawk, this guy set sail on his small coffin boat and went to who knows where.
"On this island, you may encounter Celestial Dragons who come down to play from Mariejois at any time. So you'd better be careful."
Crocodile smoked a cigar and said expressionlessly.
To be honest, he doesn't really want to cause big trouble because of trash like the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles. Once they get involved in anything bad, he will really be annoyed to death.
He just wonders what Basire, who has Conqueror's Haki, will do with these trash Celestial Dragons when he encounters them if they were to annoy him.
"Do you think I'm afraid of them? It's better if they don't provoke me. If they provoke me, I won't care about these pigs' positions at all!"
Basire sneered and said, now that his plans have begun to gain momentum, he can afford to cause a bit of trouble. Even if he quits the Shichibukai on the spot, it will not have a big impact on his plans.
At worst, he will just attack Impel down directly instead of infiltrating.
"Kuahahaha, now I wish we would encounter them."
Crocodile also showed a frivolous smile. If Basire dared to attack the Celestial Dragons, he wouldn't mind teaching these lawless world nobles a lesson.
"Foxy, give them the wanted posters for Rob Lucci and others"
Basire held a stack of new reward orders. Spandam and Spandine, those two losers, had been working for so long and finally succeeded in doing something. They wanted to push the blame on the captured CP9s and label them all as traitors. Now they even released their wanted orders.
One interesting thing is that only Kalifa's reward order is alive-only, which means she can only be captured alive. It seems that her parents have helped with all they could.
"Yes, Captain!"
Foxy immediately took these wanted posters into the castle prison inside the seahorse Noko, and showed these wanted posters to Rob Lucci and the others.
As for whether they will surrender or not, Basire doesn't really care about the fighting prowess of these people now, and he doesn't lack this little time.
It's good if they surrender and join, but if they would rather die than surrender, then Basire will just kill them and let them become zombie material for Gecko Moria.
Although Iceburg and Franky have not officially joined the Big Daddy Pirates, they are still aboard the Groseade, following Ratchet and helping to upgrade the island ship.
On Basire's ship, only by playing your role can you live comfortably.
