Early the next morning.
Countless News Coos set out from the World Economic News Service, carrying today's big news newspapers, and quickly flew to all parts of the world.
Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
It was only after the Fleet Admiral Sengoku saw today's news that he learned that the Big Daddy Pirates had gone to encircle and suppress the stronghold of the Golden Lion Fleet, instead of hunting down those pirates who had joined the fleet according to information provided by the Marine.
"This brat can actually force Shiki back?"
The Marine hero Garp the Fist was also reading the newspaper carefully, with a bit of surprise in his face.
Even if Golden Lion Shiki's strength was severely degraded, he shouldn't be beaten by the newcomer Basire.
However, there was a picture attached to the newspaper that forced them to believe this fact.
In the photo, Golden Lion Shiki had indeed torn off the two famous swords from his legs and was holding them with his hands to deal with Basire.
Being able to force Shiki into such an offensive stance shows how powerful Basire is.
After all, if the opponent is too weak, Shiki can easily kill the enemy with the power of the double blades at his feet and the Float Fruit.
"Things are not that simple!"
"News just came from the World Government that Morgans sold some of Basire's information to the CP organization at a high price."
"That bastard Basire actually has Conqueror's Haki, and it's probably not much weaker than Golden Lion Shiki!"
Sengoku said with a serious face, you must know that in his previous information, Basire had never displayed the Conqueror's Haki.
Did the kid Basire awaken Conqueror's Haki while fighting Golden Lion Shiki, or has he been hiding his strength all this time?
If he has been hiding his strength, then what is his purpose and plan in joining the Shichibukai?
Thinking back then, Doflamingo wanted to become the king of Dressrosa in a fair and just way, so he robbed the heavenly tribute, blackmailed the world government, and became a Shichibukai like that.
Boa Hancock, who also has Conqueror's Haki, is the one who the Naval Headquarters used force to make her join the Shichibukai by using the safety of the people of Kuja Island.
"East Blue really has an amazing kid this year!"
Garp read the newspaper and re-evaluated Basire. With Conqueror's Haki and the powerful Devil Fruit ability, his strength is no worse than any of the veteran Shichibukai.
He didn't even know if his fist could break the barrier of Basire.
Now he really wanted to try it!
"Another ambitious little bastard. I wonder what bad things this guy Basire will do in the future!"
Sengoku had a headache. He could already guess that Basire, the user of Conqueror's Haki, would definitely not be worse than Doflamingo in the future.
It is even possible that he might betray the world government and enter the New World to seize the position of Yonkō.
"The commander of the Marine G-8 branch, Vice Admiral Jonathan, just sent a message that the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates have handed over ten captains of the Golden Lion Fleet to them, and have collected the rewards for them."
Marine Vice Admiral Crane crossed her arms and said calmly, with a hint of thinking in her eyes.
Whether it's the news in the newspaper or the bounty prisoners escorted by the Big Daddy Pirates, it is truly proven that Golden Lion Shiki has indeed made a big mistake with the little brat Basire.
"It seems that we underestimated Basire. Although we successfully provoked a deadly battle between him and Golden Lion this time and inhibited the development of Shiki's power, we accidentally raised another possible danger."
"Next, we have to find a way to curb the development of the Big Daddy Pirates."
Sengoku's face was a little thoughtful. Although an old lion was a threat, it was still not as good as a thriving little monster.
The currently established Shichibukai more or less have their own needs and weaknesses, allowing the World Government and Naval Headquarters to manipulate them and cooperate.
Sengoku originally just wanted to use Basire as a chess piece, and use this new king to inhibit the development of Golden Lion.
By the way, by using the threat of Golden Lion Shiki, the Big Daddy Pirates had to rely on Naval Headquarters to deal with the Golden Lion Pirates, allowing Basire to become a thug of the World Government.
Just like Gekko Moria who was destroyed by Kaido of the Beasts, he can only rely on the World Government with a little chance of revenge.
Moria was also seeking asylum. Otherwise, if he continues to stay in the New World, he may really be hunted and killed by the Beast Pirates.
However, the current Big Daddy Pirates can actually defeat Golden Lion Shiki by themselves without the help of Naval Headquarters. This allows Basire to successfully escape the little scheme of Sengoku.
"The Big Daddy Pirates also want to apply for access to the information of all the rookie pirate groups in the four seas. They should have some plans for this information. Do you want to give them the information?"
Tsuru held a document and asked Sengoku. She guessed that Basire might be planning to use the Marine's information to conquer and absorb powerful pirates from all over the world and continue to develop his own power.
"No! And please urge them to wipe out all the pirates under Golden Lion Shiki first!"
Sengoku thought for a few seconds and rejected the request directly. Basire wanted to use the Marine's information to develop his power. He must not follow his wishes.
"Clear!"
Tsuru responded with a smile. In fact, she was thinking the same thing. The Marine cannot allow this new Shichibukai to grow and develop easily.
Otherwise, another huge dark force like the one established by Doflamingo will appear again.
This evil guy, relying on his identity as a former Celestial Dragon has become very popular among the world government and pirates, creating a huge underground force.
"Haha, aren't you worried about the kid Basire being angry?"
"If this little bastard is going to use his identity as a Shichibukai to rob, destroy other countries, and cause more damage, it would be better to just give him the information and ask him to help kill these new pirate groups."
At this time, Garp suddenly said that because in his eyes, it didn't matter if the Big Daddy Pirates developed, as long as Basire was still in the Grand Line, the Marines could easily encircle and suppress him.
Moreover, the Big Daddy Pirates cannot recruit and absorb all the newcomers. After all, many newcomers are also arrogant bastards and villains, and it is impossible for them all to surrender to Basire.
And if he wants to betray the Shichibukai after he develops, then Garp will have a reason to deal with the Big Daddy Pirates who have recruited a large number of pirates.
If the Big Daddy Pirates can gather so many elite pirates together, then they can just deal with them all at once and save a lot of time. There is no need to hunt down these numerous pirate groups on the seven routes.
