In the surrounding waters of Banaro Island.
Today, artillery fire roared on the sea. Three pirate groups of the Golden Lion Fleet were performing their missions as ordered by Headquarters when they were suddenly violently attacked by the Big Daddy Pirates.
The huge island ship Groseade, together with the Dreadnaught Sabre and the large diving surprise sailing ship Bliking, completely surrounded these three pirate groups.
In particular, the super cannon of the Groseade was so powerful that when it hit a pirate ship with a single shot, it exploded into pieces of wood that filled the sky.
According to one of the conditions of Sengoku, this time the battle between Big Daddy's pirates and Golden Lion Shiki's pirates must be clear and massive.
In addition to forcing the Big Daddy Pirates and Golden Lion Shiki to completely confront each other, this will also establish the reputation and intimidation of the new Shichibukai.
But Sengoku refused to increase Basire's deterrence by increasing his bounty before he became a Shichibukai.
This leads to Basire and his crew to retain their bounties that haven't changed in a long time.
In fact, Sengoku has another idea. He hopes that the Big Daddy Pirates will obtain the position of Shichibukai with a lower bounty, and then more pirates will challenge them.
In this way, the Big Daddy Pirates can be used as a weapon to help the World Government clean up more pirate groups.
Nowadays, most of the Shichibukai are veterans and have become increasingly disobedient. Their reputation has long been established, resulting in the fact that the number of pirate groups eliminated by them is very small because nobody wants to confront them.
Therefore, the fresh blood of the Big Daddy Pirates must be used more, and let them destroy more pirate groups.
"Mission completed!"
On the Groseade, Kuro and Van Augur looked at the burning pirate ships and showed a faint smile.
"Then tomorrow, Captain Basire will be the new Shichibukai!"
Demon Sheriff Lafitte smiled with satisfaction. In the following time, the Big Daddy Pirates will not be hunted down and suppressed by the Marines.
Now their only enemy in the Grand Line is Golden Lion Shiki.
"All this is destined by fate!"
Doc Q said in his sickly tone, he knew that people with a big destiny would definitely rise in the shortest time.
Captain Basire has only been at sea for half a year, and he has already squeezed into the Shichibukai, one of the three major organizational forces.
And Basire doesn't want to stop here. His growing ambitions and willpower are expected to awaken Conqueror's Haki soon.
The position of Shichibukai should not last more than two years.
And Golden Lion Shiki is the Big Daddy Pirates' biggest challenge right now.
As long as he crosses the threshold of the legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiki, Captain Basire will surely become the next legend.
Doc Q believes in his choice. Basire will not fall here with Golden Lion Shiki. He also firmly believes that Basire is the man of destiny!
"Return!"
Basire stood aboard the Groseade and gave the order directly without any expression. He did not take any action in this battle, and his men had already solved the three pirate groups.
It's as simple as taking care of a few kittens and puppies. Next, they just need to be prepared for Golden Lion Shiki's revenge.
Some agents, reporters, and intelligence personnel from various forces on Banaro Island reported back on the fighting situation here.
The combat prowess of each cadre of the Big Daddy Pirates and this huge island ship with good performance were quickly exposed to the Marines and world forces.
Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku only now learned that the Big Daddy Pirates have developed to this extent.
They have been hiding too well!
This made Sengoku feel that Daddy Basire, a new pirate, not only had strong fighting power, he also had a smart mind and powerful ambition.
However, now that the conditions have been met, let Basire become a Shichibukai and a fierce dog against Golden Lion Shiki.
He just doesn't know if Basire can survive in the hands of Shiki, the old lion. Naval Headquarters doesn't want to replace another Shichibukai so soon.
…
The next day.
The World Economic News devoted a full page to announcing the news that Basire became the new Shichibukai on the newspaper headlines.
Moreover, the news that the original Shichibukai Sir Crocodile fell at the hands of Basire was also exposed.
However, because the Economic News Agency did not obtain detailed information, Morgans made up the story himself with a bad smile.
Through his imagination, he fabricated a report about how Basire fought a fierce battle with Crocodile.
Finally, and most importantly, Morgans also reported in newspapers the fact that the Big Daddy Pirates had wiped out the three pirate groups who had joined the Golden Lion Fleet.
This will completely spark the hatred between the two pirate groups.
Morgans also received generous additional 'retouching' fees from the World Government.
In the newspaper, he cryptically stated many times that Basire, the new Shichibukai, had promised to challenge Golden Lion Shiki, the useless remnant of the era.
The newspaper quickly spread throughout the Four Blues, Paradise and the New World.
Not only was Golden Lion Shiki furious when he saw it, but even Basire's face became extremely cold after taking a look.
As expected, Morgans is a newsman who is not even afraid of the World Government's attention.
Now this little rumor is just to offend Golden Lion Shiki, a remnant, and Basire, a newcomer, and it is completely within his tolerance.
However, Morgans quickly changed the location of his headquarters to avoid being approached by Golden Lion Shiki for revenge. After all, the Float Fruit's ability is too outrageous.
Even if his Economic News Agency headquarters could move by flight, there would still be some risk of being exposed.
However, Morgans was just being cautious.
After all, under his report, a war will definitely break out between Golden Lion Shiki and Big Daddy Basire, and they have no time to pay attention to this unscrupulous birdman.
…
New World, Dressrosa.
"Fufufufu~, I didn't expect that bastard Sand Crocodile to be so weak! He actually fell into the hands of this brat! He is really a waste!"
The Underworld Broker and Shichibukai, Donquixote Doflamingo held the newspaper and said a little unhappily, with a few veins popping out on his forehead. The more he read the newspaper, the more angry he became.
He just lost a big client.
So what will happen to the batches of weapons that Crocodile ordered for Alabasta's million-strong rebel army, and all that dance powder, who are the Donquixote Family going to sell them to?! ! !
There is no shortage of buyers for those seastone products. Even if Crocodile doesn't want them, Doflamingo still has a lot of customers.
But it was difficult for him to get rid of these low-level weapons given to the rebels, and there were still so many of them.
The most important thing is that after the fall of the bastard Sand Crocodile, he still has not recovered a big part of the arms money!
