The next day.
The big news that the Captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace with a bounty of 550 million beris, was captured by the CP organization, spread throughout the sea in one morning with the news coos.
Common people were lamenting, are today's CP agents more efficient than Marines?
The big pirate that even the Marines couldn't catch was caught by CP agents.
Countless civilians were also happy that this big pirate was caught. The more pirates die, the better, regardless of whether they are caught by Marines or CP agents.
The pirates' fear of CP agents also increased a lot, and their anti-espionage awareness skyrocketed.
…
A certain sea area in the New World.
A huge pirate ship shaped like a whale was sailing.
At this time, the atmosphere on the ship was extremely heavy. Everyone looked at the newspaper and did not dare to speak. Their expressions were very solemn.
"Pops! We have to rescue Ace!!"
Each division captain began to shout anxiously. Ace went to hunt down Teach. Unexpectedly, there was no news about Teach but instead Ace was captured by the World Government.
They couldn't accept this fact!
"Quiet! Marco, hurry up and ask our contacts in the underworld to help us get information!"
Whitebeard's voice shocked his noisy sons. Right now he was also very anxious, but they had to calm down and figure things out before they could find a way to rescue their family member.
"Yes! Pops!"
Marco immediately used a den den mushi to notify various affiliated pirate groups and an underworld Emperor, asking them to work together to collect information for the Whitebeard Pirates.
At the same time, they also prepared a large amount of money to ask Big News Morgans to provide them with first-hand information.
After receiving the information, Morgans grinned. Not only did he want to eat the intelligence fees from both sides, but he also wanted to make it public and take everyone's money.
The Whitebeard Pirates were a little worried, and Shanks of the Red Hair Pirates sighed helplessly after seeing the news. What he was most worried about truly happened.
It looks like another massacre is about to begin.
Kaido from the Beasts Pirates was happy, wishing that Whitebeard and Naval Headquarters would start a war soon, so he could join in the fun.
Charlotte Linlin of the Big Mom Pirates hoped that the old Whitebeard would die soon and give up his position as the leader of the Four Emperors, so that they could seize more territory.
In The Fish Men Island, Jinbe hadn't even seen the newspaper, but he still got the news from the Whitebeard Pirates who contacted him through den den mushi.
This caused him to immediately set off from The Fish Man Island and go to Naval Headquarters to learn the inside information. He was an aboveboard 'spy'.
And the Shichibukai do have the right to apply for prison visits.
However, the World Government, which is familiar with Jinbe, refused his right to visit the prison this time.
Jinbe has also been inquiring about information at Naval Headquarters and providing intelligence to the Whitebeard Pirates.
In the next few days, after learning that the Marines would publicly execute Ace, Jinbe not only refused the forced summons to the Shichibukai, but also resisted the execution.
As a result, he was detained on the spot by the Marine and sent directly to the sixth floor of Impel Down, where he was imprisoned together with Fire Fist Ace.
When Straw Hat Luffy saw the news about Ace, they had already arrived at Jaya Island and were about to go to Skypiea.
As a result, Luffy chose to painfully give up the adventure on Sky Island and continued sailing, wanting to go save his brother.
The marines at Naval Headquarters were also furious. They didn't expect Big News Morgans to release the news so quickly.
They also wanted to prepare for a public execution and only then spread the news.
Now they can only speed up the progress and recruit elite Marines from the New World to go to Marineford to prepare for a war with the Whitebeard Pirates.
All forces are preparing, worrying, and excited about the arrest of Fire Fist Ace...
But the Big Daddy Pirates, the main instigators, have already entered the Florian Triangle.
"According to records, this black fog has existed for hundreds of years. It is very strange. According to tales, some people have seen giant beasts and monsters thousands of meters tall in the thick fog, with scarlet eyes as big as hills. I don't know if they are real."
Nico Robin looked at the information she found and recounted it to Basire as she gently massaged his shoulders.
"Is it possible that a super powerful devil fruit user created the Florian Triangle?"
Basire closed his eyes and relaxed while enjoying Robin's massage. He thought of Punk Hazard, an island of ice and fire, time travel in the rainbow mist, New World's lightning Island, and this very special foggy sea area.
Is there really such a powerful Devil Fruit power that can change a sea area or island for hundreds of years?
It doesn't seem impossible!
Could it be that the giant beast in the Florian Triangle had its shadow cut off and could never leave this sea area?
Or maybe it's some monster that doesn't like sunlight and has lived here for hundreds of years.
"How could there be such a powerful person?"
Robin asked softly, but she was stunned for a moment. Basire's wild ideas might come from his knowledge of the future.
This made her a little unsure again.
Is the Florian Triangle really man-made?
That's too exaggerated!
"I just said it casually, I don't believe there are such powerful creatures."
Basire smiled softly. This time he came to Gecko Moria's territory. In addition to trying to recruit this guy, he also wanted to capture Charlotte Lola.
Although it is very difficult to bring the Big Mom Pirates to join the war, he still needs to be fully prepared.
After all, Big News Morgans was actively cooperating with Basire.
If they plan carefully, they can still lure out a part of the Big Mom Pirates' combat power.
And he also needs to deal with Ussop.
Although the Red Hair Pirates will definitely go to Marineford, if they arrive earlier, it will have a big change in the development of the war.
Maybe if Shanks stops blocking Kaido, this wild dragon will fly in to join the battle.
Preparation is necessary, just in case it succeeds.
Basire showed a teasing smile.
He also remembered another thing. Crocus and Laboon, have they already found Brook in the Florian Triangle?
They really can't be so unlucky that they couldn't find him after searching for so long, right?
Basire also thought of a few funny ideas.
Crocus and Laboon were lost or eaten by giant beasts.
Or maybe Crocus was directly captured by Gecko Moria and had his shadow cut.
Or maybe Crocus found Brook first, but couldn't defeat Gecko Moria and couldn't get Brook's shadow back at all, and then he was also trapped here. Or even better, Crocus also had his shadow taken away.
Thinking of this, Basire couldn't help but smile. Crocus, who is in his seventies, seems like it would be difficult for him to defeat Gecko Moria.
Moreover, the invisible Absalom and the ghost princess Perona next to Moria, these two people have quite sinister abilities, and it should be enough to take Crocus by surprise.
Even if Crocus is the doctor on the Pirate King's ship, he might end up trapped here accidentally.
