Chapter 335: Clouds Move in All Directions
A few days later, after arranging everything in Xiaochao Village, Ji Xing boarded Red Hair's ship and headed for the New World again.
The ship he boarded was called the Red Force, a small ship. The cadres of the Red Hair Pirates usually used it when traveling around the seas. To go to Wano Country, they needed a larger and more stable ship, as well as more crew members to deal with various troubles.
So they had to go to Red Hair's base camp first and transfer to the large ship Red Force, which was made of the treasure tree Adam as the main material.
And within two days after they set off, the navy, which had been paying attention to the movements of the Red Hair Pirates during this period, got the news!
Navy headquarters, Marinford.
A meeting of senior generals was held for this purpose.
The participants included Navy Marshal Sengoku, Kizaru and Akainu, who are currently staying in the headquarters among the three admirals, Vice Admiral Garp, Chief of Staff Crane, and five other unnamed powerful vice admirals.
It can be seen that the navy attaches great importance to this.
Sengoku first established the conference center: "According to the information sent by Major General Lannes, it has been confirmed that Red-haired Shanks left the island occupied by Hawkeye and the former site of the Kingdom of Sitkael and returned to the New World.
The World Government also sent a notice that they will no longer restrict Morgans from publishing the news that the Folding Man Inhe and the White Lion Rodbell have been incorporated into the Beasts Pirates. Let us pay close attention to the changes in the New World."
Vice Admiral Tsuru gently rested his elbows on the table: "Release the news? According to the personalities of Red Hair and Kaido, it seems that a war is inevitable."
This is obviously intentional by the World Government, and all the senior generals present know it.
The Beasts Pirates have absorbed the two guys, Folding Man Inhe and White Lion Rodbell, and their strength will instantly expand to a level that exceeds that of the Whitebeard Pirates. Kaido is also an uneasy guy, and the balance is at risk of being broken. Naturally, the World Government cannot sit idly by.
"Kaido of Beasts, Red-haired Shanks, Ben Beckman, Folding Man Inhe, White Lion Rodbell... So scary~" This is obviously Kizaru.
Sengoku nodded and said, "This will be a war that is rare in the past ten years. As a navy, we naturally hope that the pirates will lose both sides, but things may not go as we wish, so we need to make estimates and preparations for various possible situations.
First, the Beasts Pirates win. In order to maintain the balance between pirates, the World Government said that we'd better rescue Red-Haired Shanks secretly."
Rescue Red-Haired? Everyone looked surprised. Let the navy rescue a pirate?
Sengoku actually had doubts about this order, but this was the order of the Five Elders himself, and he could not question it. He nodded, looked around, and his face sank: "Garp! Garp!"
"Huh... huh?" The bubbles on Garp's nose burst, and he woke up from his sleep. Looking at the angry Sengoku, he stretched out his hand to scratch his nose indifferently, and listened to an unnamed vice admiral telling him about the content of the meeting just now.
"Save Red Hair? No, I won't go." Garp said quickly, "I wish that bastard would die sooner, Sengoku, I won't go!"
The most suitable candidate was unwilling to move, so Sengoku could only look at the two generals.
Akainu frowned and said nothing. He wished that all the pirates would die, but he couldn't save a pirate. Moreover, in such a place, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist and become the target of public criticism.
Kizaru, who just said it was terrible, shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said with a pout: "Aokiji is not here, it seems that I have to make the trip."
Zhan Guo nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Kizaru."
Kizaru asked: "What should we do if Red Hair Shanks wins?"
Zhan Guo looked at Crane, and Crane thought: "Red Hair's target is Folding Man Inhe, and the victory condition is to kill him instead of killing Kaido, so it is still possible. If he wins, we may recognize him as the fourth Pirate Emperor and let him and the other three redefine the new world."
"I think so too, and I will contact the Five Elders later to seek their consent." Zhan Guo took over and said: "As for both sides losing... Under the premise of ensuring your own safety, Kizaru, how to decide is up to you to judge on the spot."
Kizaru said: "I understand~"
Next, Zhan Guo deployed a team of naval generals to follow Kizaru's actions to assist him, and then the arrangements for the Navy Headquarters during this period.
Troublesome times, short of manpower.
Aokiji is still not doing his job properly. Because the Devil's Child joined Baroque Studio, he went to see her again. He didn't catch or kill her again and again, just like a certain old bastard.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Garp, and Garp happened to look over and said, "Sengoku, I'm going back to the East China Sea for a vacation."
Sengoku was immediately furious: "Didn't you just go back for a vacation half a year ago?!"
Garp was shocked. What, he hasn't beaten Luffy for more than half a year? !
No, he must be yelling about being a pirate again, damn Red Hair Shanks!
...
A few days later.
New World, Cake.
Katakuri stood at the bow, reading the newspaper he just got from the Newsbird: "Did he really go to Kaido?"
The headline of the newspaper was bold: 'The Folding Man and the White Lion joined! The strongest pirate group assembled! '
Owen next to him read the newspaper and said, "Brother Katakuri, what should we do? Should we go back? Mom should restore your status as a star."
Although White Lion Rodbell was not killed during this period, they only had wins and losses, but they also beat him all over the world. More importantly, the original White Lion territory was planted with the flag of Big Mom Pirates, which made Big Mom very satisfied.
Katakuri was silent for a while. After seeing this newspaper, would his mother still be satisfied?
"No, we will go to the waters near Wano Country and wait for a while. He will not be content to be Kaido's subordinate."
...
Mobidi.
"Kulalalalalalal..." Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, read the newspaper and let out a unique and heroic laugh.
Marco, the captain of the first team next to him, also smiled and said: "The strongest? Where did these guys put us, Dad, do you want to do something?"
"Forget it." Whitebeard laughed and said: "The red-haired kid will take action."
"Red hair? Can he do it?"
"These two guys and Kaido are not of the same mind. The strongest? The Beast Pirates may become a tool for the red-haired kid to become famous."
Whitebeard looked a little nostalgic.
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the little devil on Roger's ship has come to this point?
But... I'm not old yet!
...
A newspaper made the whole New World a little restless, and all the pirates, big and small, focused their attention on the sea area of Wano Country.
Some weak pirates felt that Kaido had the strength to compete for the Pirate King, and developed a dependent mentality. Some powerful pirates felt that it would not be that simple, and waited and looked for opportunities.
And in Wano Country, Onigashima.
Kaido, the world's strongest creature with a height of more than seven meters and strong muscles, was crying loudly.
"Wuwuwu... Did you see it? Inhe! White Lion! We are the strongest pirate group! After a while, I will lead you to launch the world's largest war and destroy the navy! We are the king of the world! Wuwuwu..."
"Cheers to the strongest! Cheers to the king!"
Inhe and White Lion laughed and toasted with Kaido until the unrestrained Kaido fell asleep drunk. The two looked at each other, nodded to Jin and Quinn, and left.
When they reached a place where no one could see them, the smiles on their faces disappeared. White Lion snorted: "A drunkard who wants to be the king of the world? And the Wano general Orochi he supports is even more useless.
What do you think, Folding Man, let's join forces. When the time comes, my White Lion Pirates will rule Wano Country, and you will be the general. Together we will take over all of Kaido's power!"
Inhe looked at him and said gloomily: "I don't care about the rest, I want to kill Red Hair!"
White Lion smiled: "Of course, I'm afraid he doesn't dare to come. If he doesn't come, we will have some trouble in killing Kaido."
"He will come, soon."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey..." White Lion laughed strangely: "I look forward to it."
All simple-minded guys, if I didn't need your strength to deal with the damn Big Mom Pirates, I would have wished you would die too!
Damn, I should have taken over Wano Country and become the Pirate King at this time. What happened more than a year ago? What happened to that upside-down man? !
Yin He glanced at him indifferently.
Stupid, a fool who only knows how to use some conspiracies and tricks but doesn't know that strength is king, has no idea of the gap between him and me, Red Hair, and Kaido. The first one to die will be you, and then I will accept your pirate group without hesitation.
"Let's go, that Flame Disaster Jin has been secretly watching us, don't let him find out anything."
Everyone has their own thoughts.
Only Kaido is sleeping soundly.
...
On the other side, Red Hair's base camp.
After more than ten days of sailing and passing through a doldrum, Red Hair and others finally arrived here.
It doesn't look like they are going to fight a war at all, they are holding a banquet again.
This time, it's not just the cadres of the Red Hair Pirates, but also the ordinary crew members of the pirates, and some captains of the pirates who are attached to Red Hair.
Birds of a feather flock together.
The pirates who are attached to Red Hair are also of similar temperaments. They are not afraid of Kaido at all. They toast and drink.
Among them, the pirate Nicol, whose bounty is 485 million, toasted Red Hair: "Boss! Are we only going to kill the Folding Man this time? Can't we kill Kaido as well?"
Red Hair shook his head and said: "Kaido is not that easy to deal with. I don't want too many people to be killed or injured because of our private affairs."
"Private affairs? Boss, we can't pretend that we didn't hear this! Drink! Drink!"
Red Hair laughed and drank three cups in a row.
Amid the noise, Nicol suddenly noticed the unfamiliar face sitting next to Ben Beckman chatting and drinking: "Boss, who is that?"
Ji Xing turned around and raised his glass to him: "Holo, I'm here to fight, please take care of me."
Fight? Nicol was startled and found that the cadres suddenly laughed together, as if they remembered something happy.
Next chapter in the evening.
