(We missed the goal by just about a hundred power stones, so only 1 extra chapter. Same deal, 2 extra chapters if we reach 500 power stones)
Under Jinbe's constant requests and his status as Shichibukai, the Big Daddy Pirates did not make him stay in the prison of the castle.
Instead, they let him wear a seastone chain and follow Crocodile around like Ivankov.
As for the two cunning guys, Crocodile and Lafitte, they also want to recruit these two strong people. Although the chance is very slim, they still have to try. What if they succeed?
As a result, the answer they got is that the Okama King Ivankov would never betray the Revolutionary Army, and the Sea Hero Jinbe would never leave Whitebeard and Ace.
This made Crocodile and Lafitte understand why Basire didn't try to recruit these two people and specifically asked not to remove the seastone from their bodies.
"Jinbe, I have always wanted to take Whitebeard's head. And you're actually asking me to let you go to save him?"
Crocodile said unhappily, how could he help Whitebeard when everyone knew about his grudge with the old man?
"And I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, the position of Yonkō of the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely be taken by our Big Daddy Pirates!"
"If you want Fish-Man island to have a Yonkō pirate group to protect you in the future, you'd better join us as soon as possible!"
Crocodile turned back and looked at Jinbe seriously.
"Whitebeard will not fail, he will definitely save Ace!"
Jinbe also looked at Crocodile with a firm gaze. He has a deep affection for the Whitebeard Pirates, and his friendship with Ace is also very deep.
For their sake, he was stripped of his status as Shichibukai and imprisoned in the Eternal Hell of Impel Down.
The two former Shichibukai glared at each other, neither of them wanted to relent.
"Humph! You are just a prisoner, and Whitebeard is just an old guy! His era is over, and the era of the Big Daddy Pirates is about to begin."
"Jinbe, don't put the entire Fish-Man island in danger just because of your personal feelings."
Crocodile smiled calmly, blew out a smoke ring to Jinbe, and then continued his mission of capturing prisoners.
He knows how terrifying Basire's power is, and that Dark Fruit body can plunder devil fruits infinitely, which will allow the Big Daddy Pirates to ascend to the position of the strongest pirate group.
The moment Basire mastered Conqueror Haki infusion, he already had the strength to compete with the Yonkōs.
The fishman Jinbe looked at Crocodile's back and clenched his fists, but there was nothing he could do.
···
On the Calm Belt, there was a huge mechanical island ship, the propellers were constantly turning, the blast dials were ejecting huge winds, and they were constantly heading towards the direction of Impel Down.
There was also a golden ship parked in the center of the island.
The genius mechanic Ratchet was in the main control room, controlling the Groseade to move forward.
He didn't expect that the Paramecia Magnetic Fruit would be so powerful, and with the cooperation of Nami-sama's Thunder Fruit, the coordination of the two Devil Fruits has undergone a qualitative change.
Under Basire's guidance, the rudimentary electromagnetic power system and super electromagnetic gun were simply hundreds of years ahead of this world's technology.
Ratchet believed that even Vegapunk, who was known as the world's number one scientist, could not think of such a concept.
And when Mistress Robin handed him the design of the Ancient Weapon Pluton, he went completely crazy.
He only sleeps four hours a day now, and spends the rest of his time studying Pluton's design drawings and modifying the mechanical island ship.
If possible, he would like to try the highest frequency of this super electromagnetic gun now.
Under the strongest attack of his Magnetic Fruit and Nami-sama's Thunder Fruit, it will definitely destroy an island, and its power will not be worse than that of the Pluton battleship.
Moreover, this giant cannon originally incorporated part of the design of the Pluton battleship's devastating cannon.
On the other side, in a certain area of the Grand Line, there is a huge island moving quickly, heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago, and of course it may also be heading towards Naval Headquarters Marineford.
On this mobile island, there is a huge plant rhizome, and it seems that a few leaves have grown out.
There was a group of humans wearing uniforms on the island, holding an Eternal Pose to guide the direction of a small yellow flower.
···
In front of the huge live broadcast screen of Sabaody Archipelago, it has become incredibly lively, and everyone watched with rapt attention because Fire Fist Ace is about to be pushed to the execution platform.
Seeing the densely packed Marines in Marineford, countless civilians could feel a sense of security. With the protection of the Marines, their lives will not be disturbed by pirates.
In Enies Lobby, Spandam, who was dressed in serious formal attire, also arrogantly led the CP9 agents to escort Charlotte Lola, the daughter of the Yonkō Big Mom, to Marineford for execution.
This time, in addition to being in the limelight and showing up in front of the people of the world, he also needed to hand over the command of the CP9 team to Sengoku during this time.
Spandam's father, Spandine, also knew the danger of this operation. For the safety of his son, he secretly deployed an additional group of CP5 agents to protect him.
On the sea, deep sea, and even in the air of the New World and Paradise, there were forces from all sides rushing towards Marineford.
…
In the main square of Marineford.
Seeing the 100,000 Marine elites, Doflamingo also knew that the strongest forces in the world were still the Marines and World government, and the Yonkōs were nothing more than that before them.
"Fufufufu~, Basire, you haven't said a word from yesterday to now. Are you scared to death by the possibility of fighting Whitebeard?"
Doflamingo grinned loudly and said, now among the Shichibukai, he is standing in the middle position, showing his status as a former Celestial Dragon.
On his right side are Big Daddy Basire, Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, and Gecko Moria.
On the left are the world's greatest swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk, the tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, and the second Whitebeard Edward Weevil.
In this lineup, it seems that the short people are standing in the middle and are more powerful, and the tall people are standing next to them.
Doflamingo looked at Basire, who was still silent and glanced at him, and the veins on his forehead popped out.
Basire is actually ignoring him!
However, this also made Doflamingo a little confused. According to Basire's usually aggressive character, from yesterday to now, he should have answered his insults.
There is a problem, there is definitely a problem!
His fingers began to twitch like crazy.
"Doflamingo, if you dare to disturb Lord Basire again, I will kill you!"
The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock immediately looked at Doflamingo coldly, and the Conqueror's Haki on her body pressed against him.
She made her snake Salome move towards Doflamingo, directly passed 'Basire', changed positions with him, and stood next to Doflamingo.
And 'Basire' also walked towards the Pirate Queen's original position with an expressionless face, staying away from Doflamingo who was trying to provoke him.
"Fufufufu~"
Doflamingo smiled even more happily. He knew that there must be something wrong with Basire. After all, Basire was also a user of Conqueror Haki.
So how could he endure such provocation from him, and such behavior of changing positions with the Pirate Empress!
He just didn't know the true identity of this bastard and where the real Basire went to cause trouble, but he was looking forward to finding out even more.
If Basire could make this war escalate, he would be even happier!
