This meeting between the Marines higher ups and Shichibukai ended in bargaining with different ideas, and everyone received their own task arrangements.
During this time, the Shichibukai must stay on the islands near Marineford and are not allowed to leave too far, because they must be ready to assemble at any time.
Sengoku also wanted Basire to stay to draw some of his blood and do a physical examination, but Basire immediately boarded the Ark Maxim with Moria and fled.
Vice Admiral Momonga, who returned without success last time, once again looked grim and received an order from Sengoku. He was going to Amazon Lily again to forcibly recruit the pirate empress Boa Hancock.
However, this time the World Government and Naval Headquarters directly issued orders and threats. If Boa Hancock dared to refuse, they would send these five temporarily idle Shichibukai to practice a local war before the war with the Whitebeard Pirates.
This pirate empress only wants to enjoy the benefits of being a Shichibukai, but doesn't want to assume the position's obligations, so it's better to just take her down.
The World Government does not need these disobedient Shichibukai.
At this time, aboard the Golden Ark Maxim, Basire and Moria were just about to take a rest when a huge figure teleported over.
Bartholomew Kuma suddenly appeared on Basire's ship.
"Hey, Kuma, you can come, but you mustn't leave your mark on my ship!"
Basire's face suddenly darkened and he stared at Kuma's little movements. Until now, he didn't understand the principle of the Paw Fruit's space marking ability.
He didn't want to dismantle the Ark Maxim just like he dismantled the port of the Groseade in order to remove the mark.
And he suddenly remembered that there was a space mark on Gecko Moria's Thriller Bark, and that Thriller Bark was now next to the Groseade, floating on the edge of the Calm Belt on the side of Impel down.
This is a bit troubling.
If Kuma goes to Thriller Bark on a whim, he might discover some of his plans.
After hearing Basire's warning, Kuma's hand holding the book stopped making small movements as expected.
To be honest, he really wanted to leave his own space mark on Basire's ship.
It's not that he wants to lead people to raid the Big Daddy Pirates, he just wants to leave a good place and send some people here to save their lives, such as the crew of the Straw Hat Pirates or his daughter Bonney.
"Captain Basire is imagining things!"
A gentle voice without emotion came out from Kuma's paralyzed face. He raised his hands to show that he held no malice.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Basire's Observation Haki always pays attention to Kuma's movements in order to prevent him from quietly leaving any marks on the Ark Maxim.
"Your shape memory alloy is very good, we need more, and we also want to get more batches of Rumble Ball No.1"
"If you can, Rumble Ball No.2 and No.3, we'd like a little bit of that, too."
Kuma was like a robot, telling him his purpose. In the past few days, the Big Daddy Pirates and the Revolutionary Army had successfully connected and completed part of the deal.
That kind of Rumble Ball No.1 can actually give Zoan Devil fruit users a fourth stage of transformation, while numbers 2 and 3 can grant a fifth and a sixth stage of transformation.
This shocked Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army. After analysis, they even thought that there might be a Rumble Ball No.4 in the hands of the Big Daddy Pirates, which could allow Zoan ability users to have seven transformations.
If this is the case, this is really a very important strategic material.
They did not expect that the scientific research technology of the Big Daddy Pirates had reached this level.
Shape memory alloys, Rumble Balls, longevity potions, rejuvenation potions, beast evolution potions, alloy weapons, various alloy knives and swords that are as hard as graded blades, and even exaggerated submachine guns.
Five-shot, ten-shot, twenty-shot, continuous-shot submachine guns of various grades and prices made the revolutionary army feel numb.
This completely overturned the revolutionary army's imagination of a pirate group. The island ship Groseade is simply a scientific research kingdom.
"As long as you bring something of sufficient value, everything will be easy to negotiate."
Basire grinned and said, of course he has a lot of good things under his possession. He also wants to take advantage of the time before the Summit War starts to go to Fish-Man Island to grab the Energy Steroid pill.
In this way, their Big Daddy Pirates can develop a new drug.
As for the side effects, that's none of their business.
They are only responsible for research and production, and customers only need to consume it to achieve the effect of becoming stronger.
Of course, Basire's medical team will try their best to improve this dangerous drug to achieve better results and reduce its side effects.
"Then I will leave it to you. This is our purchase list and payment list."
Kuma took out two lists, which were densely filled with supplies and weapons needed by the revolutionary army. In addition to gold and treasures, the payment list also included various science researches and technologies, including some of Vegapunk's discoveries.
"Awesome! Your boss really sees far and has a big heart!"
Basire took a look at the list and handed it over to the smart crew members composed of Lafitte, Crocodile and others for discussion to avoid the leakage of certain technologies.
"Captain Basire is also very ambitious."
Kuma also had an almost imperceptible smile on his paralyzed face. The moment Basire took over the list and read it, the pink bear paw on his palm flicked slightly under the white gloves.
"It's all for self-protection. The World Government is too powerful. I believe you also understand it."
Basire said casually, while his Observation Haki was still paying attention to Kuma, but he probably didn't expect that the big man who seemed to be simple and honest, would place a mark without even realizing it.
This guy with more than ten years of undercover experience successfully found an opportunity to complete his trick.
However, he would never reveal this secret unless necessary, otherwise Basire might fall out with them on the spot.
This is a serious show of bad faith, but he still did it. After all, one more mark and one more choice may sometimes even be the key to saving one's life.
"Captain Basire has so many sources of information."
Kuma said in admiration because they still don't know where Basire's information came from.
This has made Dragon feel a sense of crisis, and he currently does not dare to antagonize the Big Daddy Pirates for fear of them exposing too many of his secrets.
Then Kuma just left and headed for the Sabaody Archipelago, because Dragon asked him to help pay attention to the Straw Hat Pirates, and if necessary, send them away to train. Right now they are just too immature and not qualified to enter the New World.
Basire, on the other hand, wants to get his ship coated in the Sabaody Archipelago and prepare to go towards Fish-Man Island. In addition to snatching the Energy Steroid pills, he also wants to meet the mermaid Princess Shirahoshi.
