With the fall of Golden Lion, the territory he left behind suddenly became a hot topic. The forces of Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin all moved towards Golden Lion's territory.
The pirates of the new era are also flocking to the Golden Lion's territory. In the New World, every moment is shrouded in killing.
The pirates of the new era engaged in a fierce battle with the forces of the Four Emperors. During this battle, two pirates among the pirates of the new era stood out. They were the red-haired Shanks and the sand crocodile Crocodile.
After Shanks came to the New World, he overran all his competitors with an invincible attitude. Although the Red Hair Pirates only had a few people and one ship, they had the largest territory.
Crocodile, the sand crocodile, led his crew to advance all the way, and the two of them occupied 70% of the Golden Lion's territory.
Now Marine is facing the most difficult test in history. Naval Headquarters Marineford was bombed into rubble even the Marine guarding New World suffered casualties in this battle.
Because of the death of the great pirate Golden Lion, pirates throughout the sea became more frenzied than ever before, and because of the lack of Marine power, the people of countless islands suffered from the slaughter of pirates.
This is the most chaotic era!
"Sengoku, this is the latest order from the government." Crane Vice Admiral handed a document to Sengoku with a solemn expression.
During the battle at Marineford, Crane Vice Admiral was knocked unconscious by the explosion, and her head is still wrapped with white gauze, but now the pirates are too short of people, so she has to fight despite her illness.
Because Aokiji and Akainu were seriously injured, they were also assisting Sengoku in processing documents, while Kizaru, Garp, and Zephyr were going around exterminating the evil pirates.
"How could they do this!" Sengoku hammered the table in front of him hatefully. He used so much force that blood burst out from the wound he had wrapped.
Seeing everyone else looking at him, Sengoku said tiredly: "Because of the loss of our troops, the government requires us to give up all the forces in New World, leaving only a G5 branch to concentrate all our efforts on strangling the pirates of the Grand Line and destroying them. Sin is nipped in the bud."
"What? What about the people in New World?" Crane asked in surprise.
Sengoku lamented: "Now we can no longer protect New World according to our strength, and the government also asked us to completely remove Shichibukai's name within a year.
He also didn't expect that the Golden Lion could cause such heavy damage to Marine on its own. Now the consequences have begun to show, and they will definitely get worse in the future.
"Okay, today we have two things to discuss. The first is the bounty for Levi and his gang, and the second is the issue of Shichibukai." Sengoku said, rubbing his eyebrows with a headache.
When Levi was mentioned, everyone was silent. Levi rose to prominence three years ago, but in just three years, he became the most vicious pirate among pirates, killing Celestial Dragons, robbing heavenly gold, and marines. During the war, it was because of this man that Marine declined to this point.
"Five billion beli." Aokiji said lazily.
Akainu's brows jumped heavily after hearing this, but he didn't say anything.
"So high?" Crane Vice Admiral was surprised. Whitebeard, who is now regarded as the strongest man in the world, has a bounty of only 5,046 million beli. Levi's bounty is as high as Whitebeard's in an instant.
Got it
"This man has the strength of Admiral, and this man is far more dangerous than Whitebeard." Aokiji immediately silenced everyone with one sentence.
"As for Enel? Give him a bounty of 2 billion! If he can follow a dangerous person like Levi, he is also a villain. As for everyone else, give him a bounty of 100 million!" Following Sengoku's order, Levi and his gang His worth immediately surpassed that of Whitebeard, becoming the pirate group with the largest bounty in the world.
"Let's discuss the Shichibukai thing now!" Sengoku sat upright again.
The original intention of the establishment of the Shichibukai system was to use pirates to control pirates. Although Sengoku and others tried their best to stop it, only one bear became a Shichibukai in so many years. However, the current situation on the sea is too corrupt, and Marine alone can no longer control the sea. Damn it, the Shichibukai system is imperative.
"I propose that Hawkeye can become one of the Shichibukai." Crane Vice Admiral suggested.
"What's the reason?" Sengoku asked curiously.
"Hawkeye is now the world's greatest swordsman. His becoming a Shichibukai will allow swordsmen from all over the world to join our Marine and increase our Marine's combat power. The most important thing is that Hawkeye only has swords in his eyes, and he generally doesn't Doing evil." Crane Vice Admiral analyzed it carefully for them.
"Okay, I agree with Hawkeye becoming a Shichibukai."
"agree!"
"agree!"
So Hawkeye became Shichibukai's first candidate.
"Now for the second candidate, I propose that Boa Hancock, the emperor of Nine Snakes, become Shichibukai." Sengoku said.
"Boa·Hancock?" Crane Vice Admiral frowned. She has investigated the new Emperor of Nine Snakes, who also owns Conqueror's Haki. Not only is she very powerful, but the Nine Snakes behind her are also an extremely powerful nation.
Boa Hancock just sailed this year, and she had a bounty of 100 million on her first voyage.
But Boa Hancock is very close to Levi. If she is chosen as a candidate for Shichibukai, she might tip off Levi.
"The power of Nine Snakes cannot be underestimated. We need to win over 457 and them. At the very least, we should not let them become enemies." Sengoku sees further than Crane. He wins over Nine Snakes from a strategic perspective.
"Nine Snakes are isolated from the world, what can we do to win them over?" Akainu asked Sengoku.
Nine Snake Island is located in the Calm Belt, with the natural barrier of Sea Kings. They have not yet become a member of the World Government, so they have always relied on plundering to make a living.
"Dr. Vegapunk has developed technology that allows warships to enter and leave the Calm Belt freely. From now on, the Calm Belt will no longer be an obstacle." Sengoku smiled slightly. This was the only good news during this period.
They are all Marine senior executives, and they knew the significance of this matter immediately, so it became a certainty that Hancock would become Shichibukai.
"What about Jinbei from the fish-men clan?" Aokiji suggested. He has fought against Tiger and Jinbei, so he naturally knows the power of fish-man karate. In addition, the fish-men have an average physical fitness that is ten times higher than that of humans, and they can live in the water like fish. If the fish-men can also By joining Marine, Marine's strength will also be greatly increased.
"agree!"
"agree!"
So the third candidate was also decided.
They didn't have suitable candidates for the following ones, so they could only leave this matter to be discussed in the future.
