In the big bank of Water Seven.
Some security personnel have fallen to the ground, including a couple powerful black-suited guards with the strength of a pirate of no less than 70 to 80 million beris.
The crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates were sitting in the reception hall and the money they snatched piled up like a hill. The staff members of the bank were already trembling with fear.
Then, whether it was the Big Daddy Pirates or the bank's den den mushis, they all started ringing.
Basire first took out his Shichibukai's exclusive den den mushi.
"Basire, do you think that after becoming a Shichibukai you would be free to do whatever you want? Take your pirate group with you and leave Water Seven immediately!!"
As soon as the phone was connected, the Fleet Admiral Sengoku was heard yelling, his tone full of anger, as if he was about to withdraw Basire's Shichibukai status at the next moment.
Now the den den mushis at Naval Headquarters has already received many alarms and complaints. Even the World Government was aware of Basire's actions.
"Hey, Fleet Admiral, doesn't the treaty of the Shichibukai say that we can legally plunder? Are you going back on your word now?"
Facing Sengoku's questioning and scolding, Basire held the phone away from his ear and his tone was a bit joking.
However, when he saw a bunch of desperate reporters appearing in front of the bank, he immediately changed his tone.
"Actually, I am also very helpless. The Marine refused to give me the information I needed and did not provide me with convenience, so that I could not make money by encircling and suppressing pirate groups."
"In order to support so many crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates, I was forced to do some robbery to replenish our working capital."
"Moreover, I promise that I will make good use of this money. I will use these beris to buy the information we need from the underworld."
"In this way, I can continue to quickly encircle and suppress these pirate groups and make my own contribution to world peace and justice."
"I think that Fleet Admiral Sengoku will definitely understand me!"
Basire immediately began to twist the events and also found a morally high position, pretending to be weak, and started his personal performance.
As expected, those reporters began to write crazily in their notebooks, as if they had heard some big news, and they did not forget to take a lot of photos of Basire.
It doesn't matter whether what he was saying is true or not, as long as it can increase newspaper sales.
Seeing that the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates had no intention of stopping or taking action, these reporters became even bolder and began to pour into the reception hall.
Some guys even started interviewing and filming them, especially beautiful pirates like Desire and Nami. They are really too attractive, which will definitely help to sell the news.
Nico Robin had returned to the Ark Maxim and was wearing a sun hat and sunglasses to avoid appearing in public.
Even rugged pirates like Burgess and Eldoraggo had young reporters interviewing them.
This made them extremely happy and excited, and they were very cooperative in having their photos taken. They even answered some slightly more exciting questions without restraint, which made the reporters' eyes light up.
It was as if these pirates were a pile of beris.
However, when they saw the hill made of money, they felt that even if they spent their whole lives selling newspapers, they would not be able to make that much money.
"Basire! Stop pretending here! Your goal has already been achieved. Now leave the Capital of Water Seven immediately. We will give you the information you want!"
Even though Sengoku was full of anger, in order to reduce losses and reduce the seriousness of the situation, he could only choose to compromise and agree to the Big Daddy Pirates' previous intelligence request.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, although your justice is late, I think you are still a good person."
"However, we have purchased a lot of high-priced information on pirate groups from the underworld intelligence organizations, and our funds are almost depleted."
"So this time, we will borrow the money from the big bank in the Capital of Water Seven for a while."
"After we round up more pirate groups and earn the money of their bounties, we will return part of it and then honestly hand over part to the World Government!"
"Moreover, I promise you, our Big Daddy Pirates also have their own principles. If we say that we will not destroy Water Seven, we will not destroy this shipbuilding island, and we will not kill people indiscriminately either."
"Remember to award me a banner and medal for being an outstanding Shichibukai next time!"
"We will do our best to suppress pirates and actively pay taxes on our legal plunder!"
Basire was talking very excitedly, while Sengoku was absolutely furious when he heard it, and the reporters were excited, feeling that they would be making headlines tomorrow.
The Shichibukai Daddy Basire used the money he legally plundered from the Capital of Water Seven to buy information to encircle and suppress pirates, and he also pays the World Government's share of the money honestly.
Is this the loss of morality or the loss of humanity?
The world government makes these kinds of bullshit rules about legal plunder, but Basire, a pirate, talks about integrity here and actively turns over stolen money.
Moreover, the original reason why the Big Daddy Pirates chose to rob the Capital of Water Seven was because Naval Headquarters refused to provide information to Basire to encircle and suppress the pirates.
All kinds of conjectures and wild ideas were taking shape in the minds of these reporters. They want to add fuel to the fire, exaggerate a little more, and make up a wonderful story.
Boom~!
At this moment, a terrifying explosion sound came from outside.
"Captain, there are Marines bombarding our Ark Maxim!"
Van Augur immediately shouted to Basire, and Lafitte had already flown out to intercept the Marine's artillery fire and protect their ship.
Aboard the Ark Maxim, Nico Robin, Kuro, and Gin were busy protecting the golden airship.
Soon, Zoro, Burgess and the others had already run outside to intercept the Marine's intensive artillery fire.
The Ark Maxim also rose up quickly, getting away from the Marine's firepower.
…
Inside the reception hall
"Hey Sengoku, can Marines now attack the Shichibukai, aren't we supposed to be allies?"
Basire, who had been pretending to be pitiful and teasing just now, had turned expressionless, and his terrifying aura reappeared, making the reporters and staff present quiet down.
All the members of the Big Daddy Pirates have arrived outside the bank and started fighting with the Marines who suddenly attacked them.
Among them was a huge dinosaur, which rushed directly into the camp of the Big Daddy Pirates and began to attack recklessly.
Marine Rear Admiral X Drake, the user of the Zoan Dragon Fruit Ancient Species model Allosaurus, like an ancient ferocious beast, launched an attack on the Big Daddy Pirates.
The terrifying strength of the beast knocked Burgess and Bear King away.
"Lawless pirates, hateful Shichibukai! Even if I have to disobey the orders of the World Government and Naval Headquarters today, I will destroy you!"
X Drake, who entered the half-dinosaur form, threw away his cloak of justice, and then rushed straight towards Big Daddy Basire in the reception hall, as if he wanted to fight him to the death.
