In addition to Crocodile, there are others who have guesses.
On an island somewhere in New World, the sea breeze blew the black cloak of a red-haired man on the cliff of the island.
His other good arm was now holding a newspaper and looking at the sea in silence.
"Hey, Shanks, are you not going to continue to attend the wedding?"
Ben Beckman approached from the rear and said, "I can't find your people anywhere."
Shanks smiled. "It's a banquet, as long as you're happy. You can attend your own banquet, don't worry about me."
This wedding was a wedding between one of his crew members and someone he loved. They held the wedding on this island.
Pirates are also human beings, and they also need to get married, and some are willing to marry them.
"What are you thinking about?" Ben Beckman took the newspaper in Shanks' hand, glanced at it and said: "The new Shichibukai? Admiral White?"
Everyone knows that Kuro is looking for Shichibukai all over the world, and the new Shichibukai he found is very powerful. Joe Rudolph is very powerful.
"Sam William? The man with a bounty of 100 million Berries seems to have come from East Blue. He can be a Shichibukai. With the characteristics of that man Kuro, his strength should be unquestionable."
Ben Beckman said, "But this kind of thing is not enough to make you so worried."
"How am I worried?" Shanks smiled faintly. "Think about it carefully. This newspaper, and the newspaper I saw before, is missing something."
"What is missing?"
Ben Beckman flipped through the newspaper again. The news on it was basically nothing serious.
In addition to Commander White Sam William's happy mention of Shichibukai, the remaining information is:
The alliance between the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates continues.
Astya's 'Emperor' declared orthodoxy and issued documents to stop the war between the other two countries.
Dressrosa 'Conqueror' enters the North Sea …
This can be considered a big deal, and the lower ones are even smaller.
"This is nothing?" Ben Beckman asked curiously.
"Think again, about that guy Kuro," Shanks said.
These words stunned Ben Beckman. He looked at the newspaper again and said, "This is strange. There is no news of him defeating Mihawk in the recent newspaper. The World Government should not let go of such big news. Mihawk personally admitted that there is no such thing as concealment. The World Government should also know about it. Why didn't they publish it?"
"Yeah, that's the problem…"
Shanks sighed. "That guy, there has been too little news recently, but as soon as he appeared, it was all key points. Although the newspaper did not disclose it, Mihawk was defeated by Kuro. This matter was spread on a small scale, and everything that should be known should be known."
"That kind of fight…"
Ben Beckman blew out a mouthful of smoke. To be honest, he didn't quite recognize that kind of fight. Although the fight between the two was still very dangerous for him, it was still a bit less upright.
But this is Mihawk's agreement with Kuro, and he can't say anything. The world's number one swordsman has actually changed hands.
But now it's not about the competition, but the lack of relevant news.
"Speaking of which…"
Ben Beckman thought of something and said, "In the recent newspapers, there are Admiral of the Marine Corps, Fujitora and Green Bull, but there is no Kizaru. There is very little news about Kuro. In addition, a lot of news is hidden at the moment… It can't be, right?"
Shanks chuckled and looked up at the sky. "Times are always moving forward. Marines also have to replace new blood. There's nothing wrong with that. The fact that Kuro severely injured Tiki was not disclosed. He went to the Country of Peace and still didn't disclose much to Kaido and Charlotte Ling Ling. Now the world's number one swordsman is the same. Maybe the sky is about to change."
Ben Beckman didn't say anything this time. Instead, he smoked his cigarette silently and looked at the sky with Shanks before sighing heavily.
… .
Impelton.
Sixth floor.
In a huge independent prison.
Crash!
Crash!!
The sound of chains colliding kept ringing in the prison, getting louder and louder, accompanied by some strange laughter.
"Humph, humph, humph, humph!"
The sound of chains shaking attracted the attention of a large number of Impel Down prison guards. Along with their footsteps, the prison guards appeared at the entrance of the prison and looked at a man inside with fear.
In the prison that was big enough to pay attention to giants, there was only one man locked up. The man was lying on his back on the ground, his torso was tightly bound by chains, and his limbs were entangled by chains, extending all the way to the surroundings of the prison.
As his body swayed, the chains of the prison were rattling.
"Doflamingo!"
A jailer held his gun tightly and couldn't help shouting, "What do you want to do?!"
Although they were bound by the Seastone chain and they were sure that he would not come out, they were still afraid to see this man.
This is the first Shichibukai!
And it's very dangerous!
They have seen so many prisoners, but in terms of danger, this man is definitely in the top ten!
"Hey, can't you see it? Can't you see it?!"
Doflamingo still had a newspaper in his hand, and he was grinning.
When he was caught, the only request he made was to read the newspaper, which was naturally met.
"Golden Lion, Kuro! That guy is going to become a general. He has been planning for so long, and he is finally going to take that step. The 'Emperor' of Astya? It was said in the newspaper that the Duchy of Asia is going to become a member country, right? The leader is Kuro, their king is dead, but this Farytel is claiming orthodoxy. A civilian actually dares to claim orthodoxy, and it happened after Kuro went!"
"Hey, [Great Shield] Kaz's base is Greenbitt, he has the clone soldiers of Vinsmoke, and that bastard Pansa went to North Blue, what did he go there for? Vinsmoke is going to be in trouble! Blame them for being removed by the World Government!"
"Now, now! That Kuro is going to be a general under all of this! ☆☆☆!!"
Speaking of excitement, Doflamingo struggled wildly to break free from the chains. "Hey, let me out! Let me out, I can help Kuro! Isn't Shichibukai short of one person? That position is mine! Let me continue. How can I be absent from pulling down those high and mighty people!"
Crash!!
The chains continued to rattle, making the prison guards tense up. Cold sweat flowed down their faces as they aimed their guns at the people inside.
"What are you arguing about! Doflamingo!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside. Hannibal walked in majestically and pointed at Doflamingo.
"Hey, at least give me face as the new Director. You criminal, stop arguing!"
"Hey, hey, hey…"
Doflamingo looked up at Hannibal and smiled meaningfully. "Don't you understand? The world is going to change!"
