On the deck of a dilapidated naval warship, the Red Earl stood in front of the deck and looked at the sea in the distance. Katakuri, who looked very bad, was lying not far in front of him, breathing heavily.
Katakuri was just a hair away from suffocating to death due to the power of the Hollow Fruit.
The Red Count had a lot of scars on his body, but overall he was still handsome. However, the bat-handled umbrella in his hand was completely destroyed and could no longer be used.
"Ahem...you, you are the 'Red Earl' Baloric Redfield? Why...cough!"
Katakuri is a little confused as to why the legendary pirate 'Red Earl', who once competed with One Piece and Whitebeard, appears here. Wasn't he imprisoned in Impel Down a long time ago?
"Kid, maybe you have a lot to ask, but at this moment we should go back to the Ark of Passion."
The Red Earl raised his finger and pointed at the huge boat silhouette in the sea ahead: "Your two sisters are there too... Haha, they are really two well-behaved and lovely children."
Katakuri was stunned at first, and then he understood that this was the other party's special ability of seeing and hearing Haki [Mind Reading]. The rumors were indeed true. The Red Earl and the Evil Link were both legendary possessors of the innate Haki of seeing and hearing, possessing incredible abilities.
Ability. The magical ability shown in the battle with Cyborg Kong just now is probably also dependent on this special knowledge and domineering, right?
During the fierce battle with the Red Earl, Cyborg Kong found that it was difficult to win in a short time. In addition, the navy was withdrawing in large numbers. If he did not leave, he might be surrounded and suppressed by the Shichibukai and Coral cadres. Cyborg Kong had no choice but to suspend the battle.
The fruit power left, and Katakuri, who was out of the range of the fruit power, was able to recover her breathing ability.
On the Ark of Enthusiasm, cheers soaring into the sky came and went.
On the wreckage of a certain pirate ship full of scorch marks, Hawkeye slowly put Black Blade Night back behind his back. He just learned from the phone bug communication that Victor had successfully killed Kaido and made Wano the new country of Coral.
Allies.
"Hmph...that guy really succeeded."
Although his tone was cold, there was a faint smile on the corner of Hawkeye's mouth.
Except for the Sand Crocodile who suffered some minor injuries, the other Shichibukai were all fine. No, they should be called the 'original' Shichibukai now.
This organization composed of the original Shichibukai has a new name - [Seven Kings Council].
Organized by the Speaker "Vicious Chain" Victor, the Seven Kings Council will no longer have a loose or even vaguely hostile relationship between the seven warlords in the past, but will become a free group that helps each other. It will not make any restrictions on the freedom of its members.
All forces under his command will be brought under the protection of the parliament, and resources and intelligence will also be shared.
Speaker Victor has real [Sea Emperor]-level combat power, and his Coral and Hunter Associations are also the most powerful forces in the world. Their resources and intelligence capabilities are on par with the navy. For other members, there are only benefits to joining the Seven Kings Council.
The disadvantage is especially true for members like Snake Princess and Sand Crocodile who have their own power and needs.
This naval battle in Wano was the first official appearance of the Council of Seven Kings. Judging from the current results, the results were quite good.
At this point, the huge power of the world's third pole has finally taken shape. The world's largest chamber of commerce and mafia 'Coral', the 'Hunter Association' that has recruited all powerful bounty hunters, and the 'Seven Kings Council' of the former King Shichibukai, these three
Under the leadership of Viktor the Vicious Chain, they have been able to compete with other [Sea Emperors], navies, and even the World Government.
Legends are made!
In this way, even if [Three Emperors] Kaido of the Hundred Beasts and his forces are completely defeated, the balance on the sea will not collapse instantly. With a clever balance, [Choice] is thrown back to the World Government.
Wulaoxing, it’s your turn to make a choice this time - war or peace?
…………
Bang--!!
Holy Land Marie Gioia, [Between the Powers].
The blond old man with a short beard punched the ornately carved table with his fist, his eyes bloodshot: "How dare this despicable fisherman's son...how dare..."
The old man with long hair and long beard stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and said without looking back: "It will be a terrible thing to be tricked by him."
"This is a shame! And those damn Shichibukai!!" The blond old man with a short beard roared angrily: "Pirate Empress! Hawkeye! Sand Crocodile! How dare these bastards...!!"
He is the most flagrant anti-Victor faction, and he finally convinced the other two Five Elders to exercise their right to vote at the meeting. Who would have thought that Victor would actually use their plan to push himself to the throne of the new [Emperor]!
Most of the sharp blades that the world government is proud of, the 'Ossian Shichibukai', immediately rebelled, leaving only the 'tyrant' and the newcomer who filled up the numbers!
One-third of the elite troops dispatched by the Navy Headquarters were wiped out in just half an hour! 4 Vice Admirals were lost, countless lieutenants were lost, and only 7 extremely expensive Navy warships were left to return home! Even as a
The steel bones in the backhand were all in vain, it was simply a disastrous defeat among defeats!
At this time, the Five Old Stars suddenly realized that the evil chain and its subordinates had the ability to compete with the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.
The vicious chain is no longer a lackey and tool that they can call around, but has become a chess player of the same level as them.
"What a terrifying ability to control the situation. He has taken all aspects into consideration. It's such a pity..."
The bald old man holding the knife had a complicated face. His attitude towards Victor had always been gentle, but the ritual mechanism of the Five Old Stars determined that the situation would continue to slide in the worst direction.
"I am afraid that the country of Wano has also been brought under the control of the evil chain."
The old man with dreadlocks sat on the sofa leaning on his crutches and said slowly: "This means that the supply of 'Hailou Stone' to the World Government and Navy is interrupted, and those sophisticated weapons and craftsmen have also become the property of the evil chain."
Is it possible to take back the Hunters Association?”
The long-haired and bearded old man shook his head: "All hunter association branches uniformly expelled the World Government's control personnel yesterday. Although some peripheral hunters and a few professional hunters have defected to the World Government, the vast majority of hunters still chose
Hunters Association."
"Then stop the bounty exchange! Let them mess up!" The blond man with short blond hair was messy and there was a little foam at the corner of his mouth: "By the way, issue a reward! Wanted murderers and those hunters who refuse to give in.
!”
The old man on the map glanced dissatisfied at the old man with blond hair and short beard, and said in a stern voice: "You are a little out of control! The bounty is originally used to motivate bounty hunters who are neutral, so what is the use of offering bounties to those bounty hunters?
"
"He's right. Today's reward orders serve no purpose other than to express attitude and anger the perpetrators."
The bald old man cleared his throat: "Let Akainu and Kizaru immediately return to Marineland with the remaining naval forces and restore the normal operation of the impel city. This is the top priority."
"Then what? Let the evil chain continue to be so carefree?" The blond old man with a short beard slapped the table and yelled: "He threw the face of the five old stars to the ground and stepped on it, and that's it?"
"Of course we won't let it go, but now is really not a good time to attack."
The long-haired and long-bearded old man stopped looking at the scenery outside the window, turned around and looked at the other four Five Old Stars, with a low voice: "I admit that Fierce Chain was better in this round, he won [Legend] and [Time]
, then just let him go for the time being. The Navy will shrink its scope of operations and devote all its resources to the scientific force. As long as Vegapunk's plan succeeds, it won't matter whether it's the Vicious Chain or Whitebeard."
"At that time, we will settle the accounts with the murderous chain."
