Chapter 257:
Once the news of CP9's public execution was released, it spread throughout the ocean in a very short time.
This was a deliberate promotion by the Navy Headquarters. As long as the countries in the four seas, including the pirates in the New World, could receive Morgans' World Economic Report, they would know the news released by the Navy Headquarters. At
3 pm one week later, Ace, the captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, was executed!
"Hey, hey! This is a big deal. I've lived for so long, and this is the first time I've seen a public execution. And the person being executed is Captain Whitebeard."
"Is this a declaration of war? The Navy Headquarters declares war on the Four Emperors Whitebeard? Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for the Navy to secretly deal with Captain Whitebeard?"
In Alabasta, after seeing the news, Cobra also knew the reason why Kahn left. He couldn't help but say to Igram on the side, "Mr. Kahn left in a hurry. If he needs military help, Alabasta's 600,000 regular troops can help him."
Igram quickly waved his hand and said, "That's the Navy Headquarters. They won't allow troops from Alabasta to enter, Your Majesty. If a small number of helpers are still okay, Bell and Gaga can both be dispatched."
"In that case, it would be better for me to go. Now my strength has surpassed Uncle Bell and Uncle Gaka."
After reading the newspaper, Weiwei felt very sorry that she could not see such a big scene. She said with some disappointment: "If I had known earlier, I should have stayed with Mr. Kahn." The sea of
the New World
seemed to be pressed into a calm belt by an invisible heavy momentum, and there was no wave at all.
There were more than 40 large pirate ships gathered in this sea area. The captain of each pirate ship was a famous pirate in the New World. If they met them, even the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters would be cautious about the powerful captains.
After Marco counted the number of people, he said to Whitebeard: "Dad, everyone is almost here. Do you want to gather everyone to say something?"
"Kuhahaha, no need, let's go directly to Marifordo!"
Whitebeard laughed loudly, and his spirit seemed to resonate with the surrounding sea, and he wanted to set off a new wave in the entire Age of Discovery.
After laughing, Whitebeard drank another large bowl of wine, and then continued: "If I look at them for a while longer, I can't help but let them go back, Kuhaha, although my sons are all stubborn, they will definitely not listen to me, their father, on this matter."
"Aren't these all Dad's teachings, we are just learning from them!"
Marco also laughed, but after laughing, he was silent for a while, he continued: "Dad, why don't you agree to the Beasts Pirates."
The war that the Whitebeard Pirates are facing this time is too dangerous. It is said that the navy has bought more powerful arms and cannons from the Seven Warlords of the Sea magicians, which can destroy the Nine Snakes Pirates in a short time.
They also got some through some channels. You know, Fishman Island is protected by Whitebeard. After seeing the powerful weapons and magical products of the Kahn Chamber of Commerce, Marco's heart was indeed heavy. If he chose to put down his grudges and the Beasts Pirates.
"Marco, your stupid son, what nonsense is going on? That will only make Ace and I more uncomfortable!"
Whitebeard said loudly, and rejected Marco's words again. Before the official news from the Navy Headquarters spread, the power of the Four Emperors was enough to detect the Navy's movement.
The main force transferred back to the New World was huddled up for defense. Admiral Akainu was also transferred back to the Navy Headquarters. The Seven Warlords of the Sea were summoned, and the Navy fleet was the only one monitoring near them.
All these situations can show that the Navy Headquarters is planning a big operation, and the target is them.
The Beasts Pirates want to join in the fun, but based on Whitebeard's understanding of Kaido, he must have seen some benefits in this war and wanted the Whitebeard Pirates to be in the front, while the Beasts Pirates would collect the benefits in the back.
Looks heroic, but in fact he is a hero!
If there weren't too many concerns, when Oden died, the Whitebeard Pirates would have attacked Wano Country. Ace also wanted to attack Kaido because of Wano Country, but he was stopped.
Whitebeard would never cooperate with Kaido. He wanted to implement his own ideas. If he mixed it up, he might as well change a method and capture all the navy of the New World while the vice admirals were away, and exchange Ace for the lives of tens of thousands of people. But he couldn't do it.
Sengoku also knew that he, Whitebeard, couldn't do such a thing, so he issued a declaration of war openly!
"Let's go, Whitebeard Pirates!"
Whitebeard stood on the bow of the Moby Dick and shouted loudly to issue the captain's order.
"Ah! Attack Maryford and rescue Ace!"
"Let the navy see how powerful we are!"
After hearing the order of Whitebeard, many captains all waved their swords and shouted in agreement. They were the strongest Whitebeard Pirates on the sea. Even if the opponent was the navy, they would never be afraid of them!
The spirits of many captains echoed each other, and finally gathered on the man standing at the bow of the Moby Dick, forming the representative of this era. After the news of
Marifordo spread, Sengoku was busy every day. They were about to face the strongest pirate in the world. As an old rival who had fought with Whitebeard dozens of times, no one knew the horror of Whitebeard better than him. This guy just had no ambition. His biggest dream was to protect his family, otherwise he would have become the next Pirate King. The Navy Headquarters will quickly mount the newly purchased P-3 howitzer next to the cannon. Due to the urgency of time, the military factory of the Kahn Chamber of Commerce did not have sufficient supply of shells, but the number was enough to give the Whitebeard Pirates a ruthless blow. Even if most of the forces in the navy were assembled, Sengoku still had no confidence in victory. After the news of Marifordo spread, it seemed as if there was a layer of dark clouds hanging over him. The solemn and murderous atmosphere gradually surrounded everyone's heart. This is a war that can change the world. The family town behind Marifordo has been completely cleared out. Now only combat and logistics personnel are left in the Navy Headquarters. No one who doesn't want to work is left. "Hello, this is Sengoku. How is the surveillance ship? Have you lost contact again? Keep finding out. Don't let your guard down!" "Marifordo, keep monitoring the Big Mom Pirates. Are they still holding the tea party? Keep monitoring. As long as one pirate ship is missing, find out immediately."
"I'm Sengoku. What's going on with the Beasts Pirates? Two pirate ships have left, idiot. Why don't you take the initiative to report such important news? Immediately ask the nearby branch to send out surveillance warships to find out the whereabouts of the two pirate ships!"
After finishing the Den Den Mushi command, Vice Admiral Tsuru said calmly: "Take a break, Sengoku, you've done your best."
"It's not enough. The opponent is that Whitebeard."
Sengoku took a deep breath and said to Tsuru, then his fingers around his chest kept tapping, thinking about what loopholes can be filled.
Garp ate senbei on the side and said: "Sengoku is like this, Xiaohe, don't persuade him, this guy won't give up until his hair turns white."
"It's all your fault, Garp!"
Sengoku just shouted angrily, and then he didn't bother with Garp anymore.
This time is a very important matter for the navy. If the Whitebeard Pirates are eliminated cleanly, then the navy will further gain a foothold in the New World, shift its focus to the West Sea and the North Sea, and completely divide the Grand Line into two sections.
At that time, the power of the pirates will be weakened. As long as the navy is there, the pirates in the East China Sea and the South China Sea will not try to pass through the Red Earth Continent.
With the power of the navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the updated weapons and ammunition, the navy has an absolute chance of winning this time. It is meaningless for
the Kahn Chamber of Commerce
to stay in the Navy Headquarters. After Kahn left a shadow clone there, he used the Apparition to return to the Rain City.
Taking advantage of the time before the war, Kahn extracted the devil fruit abilities of Kidd and Appo and obtained two superhuman ability serums.
Then he killed them directly and prepared to exchange them for the bounty after the war on the top.
"Boss."
After Nico Robin noticed that Kahn had returned, she came to the underground laboratory alone, and when Kahn came out, she was ready to report something.
"There are several bounty hunters with good talents. I think it is possible to recruit them. However, after the intelligence forces investigated them, they found a problem. The places these guys mentioned were all destroyed by pirates, and the time difference was less than a month."
"Is it such a coincidence?"
Nico Robin nodded and said, "It is indeed a bit of a coincidence. I remember that you have a potion that can make people tell the truth. After all, their strength is not bad. If there is no problem, they can be as strong as Wappa with a little training."
Kahn waved his hand and said, "Don't bother so much. Just let them come to see me. I will judge what will happen next."
"Then I will bring them here now."
Nico Robin said, and went upstairs to take those people to the underground conference room.
After arriving at the underground conference room, Kahn had already sat at the main seat of the conference table, waiting for Nico Robin to bring people over. After
the people came, Kahn saw surprise in the eyes of those behind Nico Robin in an instant.
"Boss, these three are bounty hunters from the South China Sea. They are Rob Lucci, Kaku and Jabra. They were all famous bounty hunters in the first half of the Grand Line."
Kahn chuckled and said, "Of course, after all, they are masters trained by CP9. It's a bit of a big deal to throw them into bounty hunting, right, Rob Lucci?"
After hearing Kahn's words, Rob Lucci's pupils shrank suddenly, and they immediately attacked Nico Robin with all their strength, holding her hostage to threaten Kahn.
Although I don't know how my identity was exposed, this is the most useful way to get out.
Beep!
A dense flash of lightning flashed, and the three people just raised their legs, and their limbs were bound by chains made of lightning; no matter how fast their physical skills were, they couldn't be faster than lightning.
It was a bit whimsical for Kahn to want to hold someone hostage. "
Wooo
