As the world's military conscription intensified, finally, what was supposed to come came.
On this day, when Lovett was discussing with his bodyguards how to continue to delay the completion of the palace, a call came to his personal phone number.
There are only three or five people who know this number.
There were only one or two people who would call him at this time.
I silently picked up the receiver, and sure enough, a familiar voice sounded.
"Something is wrong, Earl Black!"
"Mr. Dongli?"
Lovett frowned: "What happened?"
"The new Marshal Akainu went to Marigioa and proposed to abolish the Shichibukai system at the meeting. It is said that half of the government officials have agreed to this, so the chance of passing the vote is very high."
"Hiss...he is a cruel person!"
Lovett took a breath due to toothache.
As expected of Akainu who believes in "absolute justice", no matter how great the changes are, his tolerance has limits.
In this battle, only two of the seven... no, six Shichibukai responded to the call and rushed to help. Such behavior that does not take the authority of the government seriously will certainly lead to a settlement in the future!
There are three things a new official should do when he takes office.
The first fire Akainu was set on during the Great Recruitment to boost morale.
The second fire Akainu burned the five old stars, demanding autonomy.
And this third fire...
Apparently he is going to attack the pirates!
Take advantage of the fact that the military conscription is in full swing now and use your morale to solve the deep-rooted system of the Shichibukai before the pirates come back!
"What's the attitude of the Five Old Stars?"
"Not sure."
Dongli said solemnly: "However, according to rumors, the commander-in-chief of the army Kong also supports his proposal. I am afraid it is only a matter of time before he persuades the Five Old Stars."
In the Shichibukai, Aoki and Tenyaksha are both connected to the Black Earl, so what?
This is their family matter.
If you have to look at their faces even for such a small issue, it will appear that the government has no confidence at all.
So this is not a threat.
The only thing Wulaoxing has to consider is whether it is worth it.
You must know that this is the first time in 800 years that a feat has been proposed and implemented effectively. It has greatly curbed the pirate rampage that occurred in the Great Pirates Era. Tori has only joined the Shichibukai for two years. If orders are changed overnight, there will be no future.
This is the opportunity.
In the original work, it was because of the continuous vacancies in the position of the Shichibukai, coupled with the fact that Doflamingo was defeated by Luffy and the scandal was exposed, that the then general "Fujitora" proposed to abolish the Shichibukai system, and the five old stars followed suit.
And now...
The only thing to blame is that the butterfly effect brought about by Lovett is too great.
The behavior of the navy touched the bottom line of those four people as pirates, but even so, it also gave Akainu the opportunity to attack.
The proposal put forward by the dignified naval marshal is of course far more weighty than the original story.
The former represents the entire navy!
The latter, however, can only represent itself.
After thinking for a moment, Lovett asked, "Where are you now?"
"Questla!"
"That's good. The Five Old Stars don't dare to attack the Baroque News Agency. Let your people stay there first. Come to the new world by yourself. Remember to keep it secret."
"Assault? Secrecy?"
Dongli looked shocked: "Do you think Wu Laoxing will agree to this proposal?"
"I don't know, just in case."
Lovett shook his head: "After all, if they really pass the proposal, do you think you still have time to escape?"
Dongli's back was instantly wet with cold sweat.
Yes!
This is not about quitting work.
If the Five Old Stars agree to this proposal, they will definitely keep it secret, and even release false news to confuse them, find opportunities to catch them all, and then... make it public!
You must know that without the skin of the Shichibukai, they are just a group of pirates.
Moreover, they are a group of pirates who pose a great threat!
"But how dare they?!"
Dongli is still puzzled.
In today's situation, how can the World Government still have the confidence to break with the Shichibukai?
You must know that the person standing behind him is the "former New World's most powerful country" Elbaf. The terror of the giant army is probably comparable to that of the undead under Lovett.
Behind Jinbei, there are also millions of fishmen and mermaids on Fishman Island. The female warriors of Hancock, the Windless Belt country of Amazon Lily, are equally powerful in fighting.
Also, the world's greatest swordsman, "Hawkeye" Jorakmir Mihawk, who once fought Shanks at Upside Down Mountain!
Faced with such a huge threat to their group of pirates, they still voluntarily give up on peace?
Why?!
"They alone can punish those arrogant star-chasers without your strength."
Lovett said this intermittently while hesitating, but his tone became firmer as he went on.
"Is it finally time to get into actual combat? Not bad, Vegapunk."
…
Holy Land, Marie Joa.
In a secret underground base far away from the city center, a man with fluffy brown curly hair and a cane opened the door of the laboratory. Hearing the noise, the researchers who turned around were startled, and an old man hurriedly greeted him.
Go up.
"Mr. Vegapunk, you can't get out of bed yet!"
"No...ahem...it's okay, I can't die!"
The man waved his hands with a pale face and asked: "How is the experiment going?"
The authority left for a long time made the old man's face straighten, and he immediately replied: "The last round of testing has begun. If the test passes, it will be put into mass production in one month at the latest."
"Ah That's good."
This short sentence made the man breathe harder. He leaned on crutches and sat on the chair brought by another man in a white coat: "Bring me the data and show me, you go and do your work."
"That's...okay!"
The old man sighed: "Don't force yourself."
Seeing that Vegapunk didn't respond, he could only smile helplessly and turn around to leave.
In fact, there is no way to force yourself.
It was under the strict orders of the Five Old Stars that they were forcing Bega Punk.
The early exposure of the artificial Devil Fruit made the Five Old Stars aware of the threat. While they were secretly planning to accumulate power, Black Earl and Kaido were not idle either.
In this case, the pacifist plan that has been on the agenda for a long time must be accelerated!
In addition, the naval defeat gave way to a new world, and the Golden Lion attacked the Holy Land. All these pressures were suppressed, and Vegapunk had to return to work immediately despite his serious injuries.
"I hope you can really do something good for this world, world government."
Breathing rapidly, the pale-faced Begapunk had a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"After all, that Black Earl might have discovered something."
"I can't protect that thing for too long."
Wulaoxing thought that during the attack that day, the Golden Faced Buddha did not kill him on the spot because he was concerned about the connection between the two parties. As an important researcher of the pacifist plan, killing him would be like destroying the fish and the net, and even the last tacit understanding would be ignored.
.
However, Vegapunk clearly remembers the expression on the face of the golden-faced Buddha who stabbed his stomach with a knife that day, as if he could see through everything.
"The master asked me to bring you a message, Mr. Vegapunk."
The Golden Faced Buddha said: "You are obviously a pure scientist, why can't you just do what a scientist should do... If one day you figure it out, the door to the City of Dawn will always be open to you."
Sounds normal, right?
Threaten him to interrupt the pacifist plan and not participate in the government's affairs against pirates, and then recruit him to his subordinates.
But Vegapunk heard something deeper.
Especially when he combined the tragedy that happened in the Water City and the fact that Caesar was imprisoned in the armor with evil spells by the Black Count.
An invisible pressure made him dare not close his eyes.
