Marine Headquarters.
In the top office, Fleet Admiral Sengoku is reviewing documents.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, urgent information!"
A Marine Rear Admiral rushed into the office in a hurry, reporting to Sengoku nervously: "The Ghost Hand Pirate's subordinates cadres and the Whitebeard Pirate's clashed violently in Etwall in Stuart Potter sea area!"
Hearing the Marine Rear Admiral's report, Sengoku suddenly looked up.
It is not uncommon for the Yonkō Pirates to clash against each other. Generally, as long as it does not involve a Yonkō or a full-scale war, Marines generally adopts an attitude of surveillance.
But.
Ghost Hand Pirates is another case!
Sengoku knows very well to what extent Ross's madness has reached, Ross is someone who had once overturned the Marine Headquarters in person. The subordinates of the Ghost Hand Pirate regiment and the pirate regiment under the flag of Whitebeard Pirates are involved in direct conflict. This will not be as simple as an ordinary war!!
"Etwall, Stuart Potter sea, that should be Whitebeard's territory, why would the Ghost Hand Pirates fight against the Whitebeard's there?"
Sengoku stood up and asked the Rear Admiral gravely.
"The exact reason is not clear, but it seems to be a fight over a Devil Fruit," The Rear Admiral says nervously.
Sengoku's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What's going on with Totto Landsea and Whitebeard?"
"Unclear for now."
The Rear Admiral bowed his head and said that as even if there is a local war between the Ghost Hand Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates, they have just learned of this news and although Marines always kept an eye out at Yonkō Pirates all the time, it was impossible to for them to know everything about a Yonkō.
"Check it now!"
Sengoku shouted.
The Rear Admiral answered and immediately turned and left the office.
After Rear Admiral pushes the door away, Sengoku, standing there, leans over and supports the top of his desk with his hands, his face showing a terrible headache.
Ghost Hand Ross!
Ghost Hand Ross again!
He had received word from the World Government intelligence agency a few hours earlier that Ross had infiltrated the Scientific Force Base zero and that all of it had been destroyed except for Vegapunk.
And in less than a few hours later, the Ghost Hand Pirates clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates. It was like a spiny dolphin covered in thorns, which had to be pierced everywhere.
After half an hour.
A Marine Vice-Admiral hurriedly came to Sengoku's office and reported to Sengoku solemnly about the specific movements of the Whitebeard Pirates and Ghost Hand Pirates.
"The Ghost Hand Pirate regiment was dispatched on a large scale, and the Whitebeard Pirate regiment has done something similar. Two of their Captains had set off a day ago."
"Convene a high-level meeting!"
Sengoku took a deep breath, a touch of gravity in his eyes.
If it is only an ordinary war than they can still wait and see, but when it comes to Whitebeard Pirates and Ghost Hand Pirates Captain-level characters, it will likely evolve into a full-scale war!
If Whitebeard and Ghost Hand Pirates fight, it is impossible for their Marine Headquarters to sit idly by and ignore it. They must start to act, but how to act still requires a meticulous strategy.
…
At the same time.
In Beast Pirates Territory, somewhere at sea.
"Ah, how did that Ghost Hand kid get up against that old man Whitebeard …" Hundred Beast Kaido listened to the report and rubbed his hair with one hand.
"Master Kaido, shall we act?"
A person sighed beside him: "While the conflict between Ghost Hand Pirates and Whitebeard in going on, we can take all the territories of the Ghost Hand Pirates."
"…"
Kaido sat there cross-legged and didn't respond.
If he captured Ghost Hand Pirates territory while they and the Whitebeard Pirates are fighting, where would his reputation go?!!
This kind of thought didn't exist in his mind at all. Instead, if the Ghost Hand Ross and Whitebeard really fought against each other, he would be quite interested in the fight itself and he was already thinking about going there.
…
Akagami's territories.
Somewhere on the grass, people from the Akagami pirates were gathering, talking and laughing with each other. The reason for this party was the visit of Hawkeye Mihawk.
But at this time, everyone's laughter had stopped, and there were only some low drinking voices in the field.
"It really is impossible to rest peacefully …"
Listening to reports from his subordinates, Shanks sat there wearing a black cape while facing the shore, exposing a deep gaze.
Beckman sat on a rock behind Shanks and took a puff of a cigarette and slowly said, "Looking at this momentum, a war cannot be avoided."
A Devil Fruit, unless it is something like the Goro Goro no Mi, is not a particularly big deal for a Yonkō Pirates.
As long as either side slightly compromises, the conflict will immediately stop.
The problem is that neither Ghost Hand Ross nor Whitebeard is someone who would compromise. Once both sides do not choose to concede, that war is inevitable!
"What shall we do, Boss."
Lucky Roo took a bite of the meat and asked Shanks.
Shanks lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly, then he slowly opened them and stood up and wrapped up his cloak on his body before saying:
"Get ready to go."
"Well, are we going to fight?"
Lucky Roo swallowed the meat into his stomach before asking.
Beckman also stood up while his hands were patting his butts, and said: "It depends on how much things will get messed up, Marine won't sit idly by, and Kaido may not stand idly by either."
"Ghost Hand … Ross …"
Sitting a short distance away, Hawkeye lowered his head, revealing a touch of contemplation.
He had the impression of Ross when he defeated a swordsman who challenged him to a fight at an island. At that time Ross and Leader Don Chinjao fought.
He was not interested in the Battle and left directly, but he did not expect that the man who was nothing in his eyes at that time would become a Yonkō.
"Do you know Ghost Hand Ross?"
Shanks heard Hawkeye's murmur and looked at him strangely.
Hawkeye stood up and shook his head. "It was just a meeting. At that time, he was still struggling in the first half. I didn't expect that in a flash, he had reached the current level."
"Hahaha, who would have thought?"
Shanks laughed when he heard Hawkeye's words. He and Hawkeye were no different in this situation. They had only met Ross once. Although he had a hunch at the time that he might meet Ross again.
But who would've thought that by the time he met Ross again, the other party would've already become a Yonkō?
"Do you want to come?"
laughter fell and Shanks looked at Hawkeye.
Hawkeye groaned slightly and said, "The government may call in the Shichibukai. If you don't mind, I'll take a free ride."
…
After a few hours.
The news of the conflict between the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates began to expand toward the entire sea at a very fast speed, and countless forces of all sizes got the news.
This news got the World's attention!
Almost all of them were nervous, whether they were related to the Whitebeard Pirates or the Ghost Hand Pirates.
The destruction of the BIGMOM Pirates is still fresh in their minds.
And the impact caused by their collapse, that big shuffle of the Underground world, also caused the whole world to be confused for a while, and the scope was extremely wide.
Today's conflict between the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will probably only have a large impact and it would not be a small one!
