Except for Lovett, no one knows what impact the Straw Hats will have when they step into the Grand Line. Two-thirds of their destiny is on their shoulders. Even though he has lost many opportunities, he is still the center of the whirlpool of the times.
He is stirring up the storm with his strength, while the other party is destined to be his destiny.
Holy Land, Marie Joa.
As Luffy entered the Grand Line, deep in Pangu City and inside the flowers, an old man wearing a pointed hat slowly opened his eyes.
The strange eyeballs had circles of black lines. When he opened his eyes, two lines of blood and tears slid down his cheeks.
But his face was expressionless.
Just looking up at the sky, my sight seemed to penetrate the ceiling, looking into the unknown distance.
"Is it finally here? The last king."
Crunch, crunch!
The slender, ghost-like figure slowly stood up from the throne, dragging his extremely exaggerated white robe, and the old man slowly walked deep into the flowers.
This is a holy place among holy places!
He is the only one qualified to appear here.
Even Wulaoxing didn't know that there was a huge space behind the flowers.
A huge straw hat that obviously does not belong to humans and has been baptized by time sleeps quietly in a dark and gloomy room made of stones.
He stared at the straw hat quietly, like the last emperor of the old dynasty, holding up the reward order in his hand with a majestic and vicissitudes of life expression.
Reward: francis lovett!
Codename: Black Earl!
Bounty: 4.55 billion!
Charge:...(skip)
The government used to fabricate charges against pirates to increase the reward offered by the other party, in order to cover up the actual evil deeds committed by the other party or their incompetence.
Looking at the sea, today's four emperors with red hair, beasts, and white beards have all had similar experiences.
The only exception is the Black Earl.
The opponent's rise was so fast that the navy had no time to think of fabricating charges for his exaggerated crimes and raising the reward, so he... well... joined the Shichibukai, nullifying all the rewards.
Not only that, the navy actually wanted to help him publicize his achievements in order to deter other pirates.
The turmoil caused by the pure gold is still continuing to ferment, and pirates snooping on the treasures in the hands of the Black Earl are coming one after another. According to the latest discussion of the Five Old Stars, they have agreed on the fact that the Black Earl is the most threatening to the government, and have raised the bounty to
An astonishing 5.09 billion!
I know, I have known it for a long time.
But raising the reward represents recognition and a slap in the face.
The higher the enemy's bounty, the more it highlights the government's incompetence.
But not reacting is impossible.
Fortunately, because of the current turmoil at sea and the fact that both sides knew that a war that did not belong to them was about to break out, Wulaoxing had the strength to temporarily suppress the urge to issue a new reward and make full preparations for the war.
Otherwise, even if they win a great victory, this victory will look dim as the Black Earl's bounty increases.
Influence, or in layman’s terms, authority!
This is what rulers need most.
But the old man, Im, obviously didn't take out Lovett's reward order because of these trivial matters.
Looking at the man with a calm expression and an evil temperament on the screen, he wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes and said to himself: "Eight hundred years have passed, and the three kings have finally gathered together!"
"The prophesied day is coming."
"Let me see...what will your choice be this time?"
"Should we continue Roger's unfinished mission, or..."
call!!
The reward order Wu Feng spontaneously ignited, and the flames climbed onto the photo and engulfed Lovett.
After doing this, the old man calmly uttered the second half of the sentence.
"Or...it goes out again!"
As the fire completely engulfed the reward order, all the light in the dark hall disappeared.
…
At the same time, Lovett, who felt a permeating malice, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the Holy Land.
After a moment of silence, he quietly said: "You want to tell me, are you ready to fight back?"
Everything was suppressed and mute, with no answer.
Lovett wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his fingers and smiled happily.
"But isn't it a little too late?!"
This malicious intent was astonishingly terrifying, and its direction was clear. It was obviously a wise decision not to act recklessly against the Holy Land.
But, as Lovett said, it seems a little too late.
He has opened the door to the Holy Ten Realm, and even has the confidence to step out of the exaggerated combat power of Emperor Kushan, which dwarfs the entire era.
"I would like to see what kind of fate would make you so afraid!"
Standing up and dragging the cane beside him, Lovett walked out of the room.
"Owner!"
Aka, who was relaxing in the lobby on the first floor with his eyes closed, heard the noise and quickly turned around to salute.
"World government seems to have been in preparation for too long."
The cold and ruthless words made Aka tense up all the muscles in his body.
"Let Makar contact Morgans, and the Five Old Stars will understand what I mean."
The Shampoo Islands are the Tianlong people's... well, they used to be their back garden and are now their private land.
There are no longer a handful of government informants.
Makar's actions represented the attitude of the Black Earl. As long as the five old stars were not stupid, they would know that the emperor was impatient to wait.
Facing the conspiracy thrown by the Black Earl, the best way is undoubtedly to delay!
It would be best to wait until Whitebeard dies of old age, but even if that doesn't work, let the Navy make adequate preparations.
But obviously Lovett doesn't have the time to let them be the old guys. This is a chess game he set up, and it is still standing still, which has not benefited him at all.
If the navy dares to fight, it will fight. If it cannot fight, it must fight!
It is more in his interest to lose both sides!
Cold murderous intent lingered in the hall. Upon hearing this, Aka placed his right hand in front of him and bowed slightly.
"clear!"
Watching Aka open the door and leave the hall, Lovett stretched out his index finger to catch the red-eyed raven with an indifferent expression.
"Destiny is meant to be broken!"
"How does this move of mine feel?"
"Im!"
Soon, "Evolver" Makar, the president of Baroque News Agency, contacted "Big News" Morgans and conducted a round of interest negotiations on the current market share of both parties.
This is just a trivial matter in the eyes of those in the know.
They won't let the newspaper price increase anyway, right?
The benefits involved are not shared by them.
In this case, why bother considering unrealistic issues.
But after the Five Old Stars learned about this, they immediately held an emergency meeting. Marshal Akainu rushed back to the Holy Land, letting everyone smell a dangerous atmosphere.
as expected.
As Akainu came down from the Holy Land with a livid face, just ten hours later, the Navy used the channels of World Economic News and Baroque News Agency to issue a statement facing the sea.
they said……
"Pirate King" Roger's posthumous son, Gol D. Ace, whose sinful bloodline was not broken twenty years ago, has now been arrested by the navy.
One month later, a public execution will be carried out at the Navy Headquarters to serve as a warning to others!!
Suddenly, the whole world was excited!
…
New world, Whitebeard Pirates sea area, Moby Dick.
The atmosphere on the huge whale ship was depressing. He was holding a freshly baked newspaper with the smell of ink and a white bearded man with a respirator on his nose and his chest was rising and falling. He didn't know whether he was angry or sad.
Bang!!
"Diamond" Jozi was so angry that he punched the cabin wall and cracked it open. Under the horrified gaze of the surrounding pirates, his palm turned into a shining diamond.
"Ace...this idiot!!"
Hearing this, Marco sighed, walked over and patted his waist to tell him to calm down.
This is the worst outcome they had expected, isn't it?
For this reason, they even stood still uncharacteristically, attracting most of the attention and buying Ace time.
Watching Jozi disperse in silence while the diamonds hardened, Marco said: "Tich's whereabouts are still unknown. There are rumors that someone saw him passing by Shampoo, and then disappeared."
"Dad, if I'm not wrong, Teach should have used Ace as a pledge to induce the navy to take action."
If Teach, who was tied up and hung in the prison of the Navy headquarters, knew his conclusion, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood.
I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
But the government can't let the news of the door of justice being pushed open spread out. No one will know about the existence of the bodyguard. Teach will be blamed for this.
"But that was more than half a month ago."
"The Navy has just issued a statement now..."
Before he finished speaking, a domineering aura rose to the sky.
"Then shall we give up on Ace, Marco?"
Marco answered decisively.
"No way!"
"Gu la la la la, of course not!"
Boom!
Click!
The infiltrating murderous intent mixed with the overlord's domineering energy surged wildly in all directions. Even if Whitebeard deliberately restrained his power, some weak pirates could not help but tremble and looked at Whitebeard with admiration.
The deck was shattered and the respirator was torn off.
Whitebeard stood up and stared into the distance with his narrow and domineering eyes.
"Since the navy wants war, then I will give them war!"
"The Whitebeard Pirates will never give up on their families!!"
………………
I'm late. I'm late. I didn't expect that it would be eleven o'clock after drinking. I took a taxi back.
Let me tell you something, the new Laoshizi mask from the Xue brand is really terrible... Otherwise, I'm afraid Dashu wouldn't have the temper to continue coding today, and he would have been forced to sleep.
