Holy Land, Port of Mariejois.
Shichibukai meeting room.
"Fufufu, Marshal Sengoku, why did Shichibukai's meeting choose the Holy Land instead of your Naval Headquarters?"
"Could it be that your Naval Headquarters is not convenient for us to visit now?"
Doflamingo watched as Sengoku walked in through the door.
After unravelling the thread that he used to control Marine Vice Admiral to fight each other.
He asked Sengoku with a smile on his face.
For this Shichibukai meeting, he came to visit the zombies in Naval Headquarters.
If there is no way to visit the corresponding zombie situation, such a result can only disappoint him.
"I thought you pirates at sea didn't want to go to Naval Headquarters, that's why I chose this place."
Sengoku glanced at Doflamingo disapprovingly.
For some reason, he always felt that there was something in Doflamingo's words.
But soon, he shook his head.
His gaze left Doflamingo as he glanced at Jinbei, Moria, Kuma, and Mihawk.
"Only Hancock didn't you come?"
"No, it should be said that everyone else came except her."
"That really surprised me."
Sengoku raised his eyebrows, walked to his seat and sat down, sighing and said to everyone.
"Fufufu, after all, the pirates discussed this time include the super rookie who offered a reward of 1 billion Berry."
"And some of the crew members on that guy's ship are even higher than the bounty we had before it was revoked."
"It's not surprising that everyone will be curious."
Doflamingo raised his mouth and smiled.
"A fighter with a reward of 1 billion Berry, who can fight Shiki."
"Although he is not a swordsman, I am very interested in his power."
Hawkeye Mihawk raised his head, revealing his falcon-like eyes, and spoke.
"Kishishishishi! Even Shiki has appeared, so I can't squat in my place and sleep."
Moria clutched his big belly and laughed heartily.
Kuma: "..."
"Sengoku, I heard that Rifan can use fish man karate!"
"And he also masters the method of fish man karate!"
"Excuse me, is this true?"
Jinbei looked serious and asked Sengoku a serious question.
Unlike other Shichibukai who focus on Rifan's strength.
Jinbei is more concerned about Rifan's ability to use fish man karate.
"This matter, I also want to ask you, even."
"Right now, you should be the one who has the deepest grasp of fish man karate."
"Rifan can learn such a strong fish man karate, don't you have any information?"
Sengoku frowned, and looked at Jinbei suspiciously.
He really doubted Jinbei.
The fish man karate mastered by Rifan is too pure.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't show that a casual fish man karate master can bep trained.
If it is true that there are fish mans who can train a human being to be a master who can use fish man karate techniques.
Sengoku felt that this person must be Jinbei.
"Sengoku, are you suspicious of me?"
"I can tell you very clearly that I haven't even seen that Rifan's face."
"If there is such a human being who is good at using fish man karate I have met, it is impossible for me to have no impression of them."
Jinbei frowned slightly, and said seriously.
"Kishishishishi, we're not sure about that!"
"The fish men island is under the 10,000-meter deep sea."
"Neither the Marine nor the World Government sent troops to guard The fish men island,"
"If you guide a human to practice fish man karate there, people from Marine and World Government will not be able to know the details."
The corners of Moria's mouth curved into a crescent shape, and said with a playful smile.
"Moria, watch your words!"
"There's no need for me to lie about such a thing."
Jinbei snorted coldly, and the aura of being a master of karate began to press towards Moria.
"Kishishi, do you want to fight?"
"Jinbei, this is not the sea."
"Do you think you can beat me?"
Moria took out his shadow scissors, showing no fear of Jinbei.
"Fufufu, do you want to fight?"
"Since this is the case, shouldn't we take a back seat?"
"You say so, Hawkeye, Kuma?"
The corners of Doflamingo's mouth were split open, and he looked at Moria and Jinbei with a look looking for fun
"That's enough. I didn't come here to watch you fight."
Hawkeye opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Rifan can also use the technique exclusive to Giants and has mastered the Marine Six Styles, a feat achieved only by the elite of the World Government. His proficiency in taijutsu makes it unsurprising that he could learn fish-man karate. Sengoku, let's start the meeting, I'm not free as the people here."
Kuma said in a muffled voice, and with his words, he managed to relieve Jinbei from the siege.
Of course, in his heart, he was also curious about the relationship between Rifan and Jinbei.
"In this case, let's start the meeting that called you here."
"First there was Crocodile, that guy did something he shouldn't have done, so he was executed by Marine."
"Next, I hope you fellow Shichibukai can act in accordance with the rules."
"Otherwise, we can deprive you of your Shichibukai title as we deprived Crocodile of his Shichibukai title."
Sengoku rested his chin on the backs of his hands and said in a serious tone.
"Fufufu, what a deterrent warning, Marshal Sengoku~"
"However, I have a doubt, is it really your Marine who defeated Crocodile?"
"As far as I know, the only powerful Marine going to Alabasta at that time was the Marine Admiral candidate Gion."
"It doesn't matter whether she has the ability to defeat Crocodile."
"But she was able to defeat Shiki again after defeating Crocodile, which is a bit unreasonable."
Doflamingo laughed, completely disrespecting Sengoku.
In fact, with his special status as the former Celestial Dragons, he really doesn't need to give Sengoku respect.
The other Shichibukai in the scene were not fools either.
They already had doubts about Alabasta's incident,
And faintly feel that the Black Pearl Pirates' share in the Crocodile and Shiki incidents is not as low as imagined.
That's why they're willing to come to the holy port of Mariejois for the Shichibukai meeting.
When Sengoku heard Doflamingo's words, blue veins burst out on his forehead.
Fortunately, Tsuru on the side made a sound at this time.
"Be quiet, Doflamingo."
"If you want to keep your business going as normal as possible shut up."
Marine Chief Staff Officer Tsuru glanced at Doflamingo and said in a deep voice.
"Fufufu, Staff Officer Tsuru has spoken, since that's the case, I'd better be quiet."
Doflamingo shrugged and stepped back from the table to his chair.
Tsuru somehow chased him for so many years before becoming Shichibukai.
More or less, Doflamingo still has a certain awe of Tsuru.
Sengoku took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said:
"Let's move on to the next topic!"
"Crocodile is dead, now there is a vacancy in Shichibukai place."
"It's rare that all of you Shichibukai are here together. Do you think anyone can take the place of Crocodile?"
Hearing this, Kuma opened his eyes and said:
"Since it was Black Mist Rifan who fought off Shiki with you Marines, how about making him Shichibukai?"
"Based on that man's record, it is enough to deter the pirates in the sea."
Rifan is the man Kuma acknowledged. And he was also deeply appreciated by Dragon.
Even though Rifan did not formally join the Revolutionary Army, Kuma felt that he was definitely on the side of the Revolutionary Army in his heart.
If Rifan can become Shichibukai, it will also have a certain effect on the revolutionary army in the future.
"Kishishishishi, I don't care, I just want to know how you Marine plan to deal with Shiki that he again reappeared in the sea."
Moria laughed.
As Kuma and Moria spoke, the rest of the Shichibukai all made roughly the same remarks as Moria.
To them, it doesn't matter who becomes the Shichibukai.
As long as it doesn't affect their interests.
"Making Rifan a Shichibukai..."
Sengoku frowned, thinking again of what the Five Elders had said the last time they stalked
At this moment, a strange voice sounded from the office window.
"If you want to choose Shichibukai, how about considering my captain?"
As the voice fell, everyone in the office looked over.
"You are, West Blue's security officer Lafitte, and you seem to be a pirate in a team called the Blackbeard Pirates now."
"How dare to come here alone, your really courageous."
Tsuru glanced at Lafitte and said calmly.
"Fufufu, this is interesting."
"I didn't expect that someone would come to recommend their captain."
Doflamingo smiled, looking over with equal curiosity.
"Talk, if your answer doesn't satisfy me, I will put you in Impel Down myself!"
Sengoku is worrying about Rifan, and the appearance of Lafitte can be said to have deepened this worry.
"Hehe, don't worry, our captain is definitely qualified to be a Shichibukai."
"Whether it's his strength or the person he wants to hand over to you."
While doing a funny performance on the windowsill, Lafitte laughed and said:
"Our captain, Blackbeard Teach, although unknown."
"But he's strong enough to beat Whitebeard's 2nd team captain Fire Fist Ace!"
When Sengoku heard this, his eyes froze immediately:
"You said that Teach defeated Fire Fist Ace? Could it be that the person you said earlier to hand over to us is Fire Fist Ace?"
Lafitte nodded slightly and said:
"Indeed! It is this Fire Fist Ace that we are going to give you Marine."
"Of course, this is only if you promise us to give Shichibukai position to Captain Teach."
Sengoku frowned, and exchanged a glance with Tsuru beside him.
Both of them understood that the situation of Fire fist Ace was very special. If Fire Fist Ace is caught, it is very likely to trigger a fight with the Whitebeard pirates
A war between a Emperor Regiment!
Moreover, the relationship between Ace and Garp is still very unusual.
But this rare opportunity to dismantle the Whitebeard Pirates, Sengoku does not want to give up.
Having said that, but thinking of the conditions Rifan had given, he seemed a little hesitant for a while.
If Vegapunk can develop an antidote to the zombie virus, then he can indifferent to Rifan proposition.
But if it can't be researched in a short time, and Shiki spreads the zombie virus to other places, Rifan's existence will become much more important.
"You caught Ace?!"
Jinbei stood up and looked at Laffitte with a serious expression.
Ace is his good friend, and Whitebeard is kind to him, so he naturally doesn't want Marine to catch Ace.
"Fufufu, this Shichibukai meeting is really dramatic, I didn't expect to encounter so many exciting things~"
Doflamingo raised the corners of his mouth, covered his forehead and laughed out loud.
"If you do catch Ace, that does qualify your captain as a Shichibukai."
"However, if it's just that, it seems that it can't compare to Rifan who has a reward of one billion Berry."
After thinking for a while, Sengoku decided not to make a final decision yet.
"Rifan..." Lafitte's eyes flashed when he heard the name that Teach and Ethan often discussed.
After a while, he raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile:
"Even if I say that the true identity of Fire Fist Ace is the orphan of Gol D Roger?"
"Is that enough to make my captain a Shichibukai, Mr. Sengoku?"
