Chapter two hundred and twentieth, the threat of giants
However, it is foreseeable that this will be a long-term work.
Artificial fruits require time to be cultivated and nurtured, and the extent to which they can be used depends on how the ability user develops them.
Just think about Momonosuke in the original work and you will know this...
After interrogation, Caesar admitted that the government did have this plan at the beginning, and that the task just fell into his hands, but it had not had time to take action.
In other words, the dragon fruit that was supposed to appear in Punk Hassad in the original work is now not even mentioned. For Caesar, Lovett's request is also the first time for a big girl to get into a sedan chair.
"It takes time for Caesar to make the fruit, it takes time to cultivate the fruit, and it still takes time to develop it after eating it..."
Lovett shook his head silently: "Forget it, just wait."
Then he smiled and said: "After all, the most important thing for me now is still to regain my strength."
"Wallace..."
Lovett put his cane up on the ground and spoke softly.
"I'm here, Master!"
"Let Leviathan block the hull and find a deserted seabed to stay."
The undead aura that escaped from the last practice almost destroyed Questela, and Lovett didn't want to make the same mistake twice.
"clear!"
After hearing this, Wallace, who had blond hair and a pale face with a somewhat sickly aristocratic temperament, bowed and retreated with feverish eyes. After a while, Leviathan's helpless "chirp~chirp~" sound
The Anson slowly left the port and disappeared into the sea.
…
Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
Marshal's Office.
There are still only a few generals in the office.
The navy will not be able to rest for a day until the encirclement and suppression operation against the revolutionary army is over.
But at this moment, Warring States had no time to pay attention to the revolutionary army, and he didn't even want to pay attention to the rumors about his old age. He was more concerned about the news brought back by Qing Pheasant.
"You mean that because Loki, the giant prince, does not agree to go to war with the government, Elbaf is currently divided into two factions?"
"Yes."
In this regard, Aokiji nodded: "After the 'Blue Ghost' Tori and the 'Red Ghost' Broki brought the news back, some giants supported the war and blood debt repayment, but some groups headed by Loki and Elder Aruru
If they don’t agree to go to war, neither side can convince the other, and they are in a state of cold war.”
Speaking of this, Qing Zhi smiled.
"Everything is as you calculated, Marshal."
When I rushed back to the headquarters, Qingji said there was good news, and that news was this.
Lovett once said that it would be extremely difficult for the two men to break through the Navy's defense line and return to the New World, but the situation would be different if the Navy deliberately let them go back.
Hearing this, Warring States snorted angrily: "Huh! That brat, don't think that I don't know his tricks!"
"The real threat is him, the Green Oni and the Red Oni are just pawns thrown out by him."
"If we really kill or arrest them in order to block the news and prevent Elbaf from knowing about it, then he can continue to stab them. By then, the old and new hatreds will be added together, and Elbaf will have to start a war even if he doesn't want to.
"
Poisonous plan!
What a wonderful poisonous plot!
Even as an enemy, the Warring States Period could not help but lament that the Black Earl was so terrifying.
If he orders a big fight because Tori destroyed the navy's fleet, he will definitely usher in a counterattack from the world's strongest country, the Elbaf Warrior Village.
It's not that I'm afraid of the giants.
But once the two sides start a war, it will definitely trigger a series of chain reactions and break the balance of the sea.
Fortunately, he quickly figured out the stakes.
On one side, Ghost Spider was assigned to continue chasing the Black Earl, and on the other side, he secretly issued an order to let the troops chasing Dongli and the others pretend to be fake and let them leave.
The result was just as expected.
Even the Elbaf giants, who are famous for their bad tempers, still have reason.
Revenge must be avenged.
But we must not fight easily.
"but……"
Suddenly, Qing Pheasant changed the topic: "There is also some bad news."
Sengoku glanced at him indifferently: "The Giant Soldier Pirates have been reorganized?"
"Yes."
Aoki nodded, not surprised that Sengoku could guess: "The reason why the Giant Soldier Pirates were established more than a hundred years ago was to go out to sea to plunder supplies for the barren Elbaf, which is the same as Hancock, the empress of Nine Snake Island.
"
"But with the disappearance of Tori and Broki, and the disbandment of the Giant Soldier Pirates, Elbaf remained in poverty for decades. It was not until the Great Pirate Age that countless pirates poured into the new world, and their lives were slightly better by plundering pirates.
improvement."
"Seeing the situation in his hometown, Tori reorganized the Giant Pirates decisively and resumed his old business to go to sea to plunder."
"I think this is the real reason why Prince Loki refuses to go to war."
Suddenly, Warring States laughed and said: "As a royal family, he naturally has more to consider, otherwise he would not let go of his hatred and try to marry Big Mom. And I have read the information about 'Ao Oni' Dongli, and it is nothing.
An ambitious and unreasonable guy."
but.
He said with a serious expression at this moment: "Because of this, we cannot be careless."
"Ah, you're right."
The smile on Warring States' face faded: "It seems that the country is divided into two factions. In fact, Dongli's faction was deliberately created to vent everyone's anger. In fact, both of them are of the same mind, and they cleverly avoid facing the front.
The outcome of the war calmed the anger of the domestic people and maintained the balance of the country."
"There is a time limit."
With Aoji looking confused, Warring States solemnly said: "If the oppression is not relieved, it will break out one day. When the country becomes rich, or the situation becomes uncontrollable, war will still be inevitable."
is that so?
Aoki couldn't help but raise his chin.
So... what kind of good news is this?
This feeling of being crushed by IQ, whoever tries it will know!
Seeing Aoki's expression of "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?", Warring States couldn't help but smile: "You have very little exposure to political things, Kuzan."
"If you have nothing else to do, it will be good for you to look through the historical data and see how the marshals in the past controlled the navy."
These words can be regarded as appointing him as the next marshal.
Qingzhi suddenly felt extremely stressed and said with a wry smile: "I...will try my best."
"So……"
He crossed his hands and propped up his chin, but the eyes on his wrinkled face were shining brightly.
"How to avoid this war with the giants? There are too many issues to consider."
"Hmph, you actually know the answer better than me, don't you, Tsuru-chan?"
After saying that, the two old foxes looked at each other and laughed sadly.
Qing Pheasant: "..."
Can I admit that I am a fool?

…
New World, Ten Thousand Kingdoms, Baked Dessert Island, Full Town.
"Hey, did you hear that? Someone is missing again."
"What? How long has it been since then?!"
"It's less than three days, right? Mr. Owen personally led people to search the scene, but found nothing... you said."
The man carefully looked left and right, then came closer and said, "Is it haunted?"
"Nonsense!"
The companion shuddered: "Mom's fruit power can control the soul. What kind of ghost dares to cause trouble in all countries!"
"That means you don't suspect there are ghosts?"
"Hiss... stop talking, it's so weird."
"Hee hee hee!"
The man smiled a few words and was about to say something when he suddenly swallowed, tensed up and looked forward.
"O...Mr. Owen!"
Behind his companion, the pale Charlotte Owen was standing in the shadow cast by the building, looking at them calmly.
He didn't say anything, just stared quietly, which made his hair stand on end.
Fortunately, at this time, someone ran from a distance and shouted hurriedly: "Sir Owen! Sir Owen!"
He came closer and took a breath: "Mom asked all the ministers to come over and said that she had something to report."
Seeing this, Charlotte Owen finally rolled her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "I know."
Then slowly turned around.
"Stop spreading these rumors. If it causes a commotion, you know what will happen."
Upon hearing this, the man quickly bowed 90° as if he had been granted amnesty.
