Six Paths of Pirates

Chapter 101 Katakuri and Nine Islands (2)

"So, the Santa Cruz Islands are no longer in Beckman's hands." After learning the latest news from Bree, Katakuri pondered.

Afterwards, he asked Bree, "After Blackbeard and Jhin join forces, how will the ownership of the island be resolved?"

Bree replied: "They don't seem to have discussed it for the time being, because although the redhead suffered a heavy loss and Beckman was also seriously injured, they did not intend to leave the game."

Bree continued to explain: "This starts with the second thing, brother."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"According to the latest information, Liu Dao actually found Whitebeard's sons yesterday." Bree's answer caused Katakuri's eyes to flash again, "And today, Marco and the others found the sons from Shengke. Beckman, who was retreating from the Rus Islands, and the red-haired men captured Berkner Island."

"After losing the Santa Cruz Islands, which are both optimal in terms of location and size, should we turn to the marginal islands for rest?" Katakuri whispered to himself.

Then Katakuri, who was half a body ahead of Bree, began to draw conclusions: "From this point of view, the matter is already very clear."

Under Bree's gaze, Katakuri said: "The real purpose of Liu Dao is not to cooperate with the navy to eliminate pirates, nor is it to make an early move for the stability of the territory. From the very beginning, he and Akainu have joined forces to force those two groups of people. Participate in the battle here on the Nine Islands."

"No, maybe earlier..." As he spoke, Katakuri denied himself, "This guy, I'm afraid he was already planning the current situation when he made an agreement with his mother."

"Brother, you mean..." Bree opened his mouth and said.

"That's right." Katakuri nodded, "He should have thought that with his team and power, he would have no strength left to win these nine islands, so he simply released them and let us fight to the death. Then he He teamed up with Akainu to attack Blackbeard and Marco who had ideas about his territory in advance, forcing them not to choose to come here. This undoubtedly broke the balance of our three families, and this is his opportunity! "

"Is this... so complicated?" Bu Lei asked in confusion, his eyes turned into mosquito coils.

"It's troublesome, but it's not complicated." Katakuri said in a deep voice, "Including the information you just got, it's not difficult to understand."

Katakuri explained: "Blackbeard approached Jhin and took the lead in raiding the Santa Cruz Islands because Whitebeard and Redhead were old. If Marco also joined, then the person with Redhead is probably Marco. Corran's ally, so Blackbeard targeted Beckman first."

"The follow-up situation is also true. After Beckman's defeat, he immediately united with Marko and took Berkner Island as a new stronghold."

Bu Lei, who was a little dizzy, could no longer rely on his own mind to analyze the situation and come up with countermeasures, so he asked Katakuri: "Then what should we do, brother?"

Katakuri stood still on the ground with his leather boots on, and after a few seconds of silence, he let out a breath and said, "Frankly speaking, the war here is over."

"Eh--?"

Facing Bree's surprise, Katakuri explained: "Likudo's plan is about to succeed, and most of the chaos here will end with his victory."

Katakuri said: "If it is really a confrontation between the three of us, then the ownership of the nine islands will probably be determined by mutual confrontation and tacit understanding, but the joining of the Whitebeard remnants and Blackbeard has turned the battle into an endless battle. situation."

"No matter who wins, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. At that time, Liu Dao can take action without any scruples and take back the nine islands one by one!"

"How could it be?" Bree said angrily, "That was an agreement he proposed, how could he just violate it? Isn't he afraid that his mother and red hair will make trouble for him?"

Katakuri shook his head: "Buli, the so-called agreement will only be effective under the guarantee of real power. Because the foundation of the Six Paths is shallow, mother and the others can force the Six Paths to bow their heads, but once the situation really develops to that point, the strong and weak The comparison has changed, and it is just a matter of his opinion whether to abide by the agreement or not."

"At the end of the day, this place is thousands of miles away from our three families. If it weren't for the current weakness of Liudao, it would have been impossible for anyone to invade these islands."

After listening to Katakuri's words, Bree, who finally understood, was a little depressed, and said dejectedly: "Then brother, shall we retreat?"

"Do you think the battle here is meaningless, and you want to reduce the loss for your mother?" Katakuri looked at Bree, and then said approvingly, "Very good, Bree, you have grown up."

Katakuri rubbed Bree's hair, and said: "But don't be so negative, Bree. Mom's pirate group doesn't allow softies who run away before they start fighting, let alone me here .”

Katakuri's words showed strong confidence, which made Bree feel that the brother he admired seemed to grow taller: "Although Liu Dao thought very well, it is still unknown whether the result will be as he wanted. Now we are the only ones Not joining hands with people is a bad thing and a good thing.”

Katakuri told Bree: "Go and tell Smoothie, Cracker, and Snuggle that they are not allowed to act rashly now, and we will just watch Beast, Red Hair, Blackbeard, and Marko. Whoever wins!"

While Katakuri, the spokesperson of the Nine Islands, gave a countermeasure based on the latest information, the Big Mom Pirates turned their attention back to the current Dressrosa Sea Area, and the Six Paths they discussed also started a new action.

"The war on the Nine Islands has entered the preset track, so don't worry about it for the time being." In the royal palace of Puge City, in a deliberative palace, Nagato said, "So, Hanks, how is the situation there?"

Three core cadres stood in front of Nagato, and Hanks was in the middle: "The Constitution of the Socialist Party, which you reviewed the day before yesterday, has been issued and implemented, and all public officials are required to study the political economy materials you wrote."

Hanks continued: "For the construction of Dehai, after discussion, it was decided to allocate 100 billion Baileys in advance and issue 200 billion government bonds to invest in infrastructure construction such as roads on the islands. At present, the recruitment of workers has basically been completed, and at the same time This news is good, the residents on the island and the outside world have good expectations for the stability and development of Dehai, and the trade volume of Odu has returned to the previous level, and there is still an upward trend.”

"Well, not bad." Nagato nodded, and then said, "One more thing, you will inform me later that the fourteen important officials who participated in the previous cadre meeting and held important positions will have a half-day-long course once a week. Let them Learn about the content of the party constitution and political economy, and I will teach the lectures myself. Unless there is a serious reason to ask me for leave in advance, no one is allowed to be absent."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Go on."

Hanks said: "I have completed the handover with Joe in Tokushima. There is nothing else that needs to be reported to you."

"Looks like you're ready."

"Yes." Hanks replied, "At present, Dehai's affairs have been arranged. I would like to apply for a temporary leave with you, and go to the capital of seven waters to meet and negotiate with Carrera."

"Don't be so serious, Hanks, this kind of thing is already within your authority, you can't talk about applying, you can make up your own mind, just report to me." Nagato waved his hands, Things, you can lead the team the best."

"I will remotely understand the situation through the phone bug to ensure that Dehai's various tasks are progressing as planned. The mission of the Seven Waters City will certainly not disappoint your expectations." Hanks' attitude made Nagato nod again.

The content and attitude of the No. [-] minister's work report were quite satisfactory, and there was no need for Nagato to add anything, so he turned to the other two cadres beside Hanks and asked, "Kalifa, owl, what do you want to do with me?" What was the result of Zefa's contact?"

Standing in front of Nagato with Hanks at this moment is the former CP9 agent who is now handling intelligence for Nagato.

Upon hearing the question, Khalifa replied: "We have already talked, if you want to meet with him, we can arrange it for you immediately."

When Nagato first subdued the CP9 agents, he gave them a task - to find Luo, Zefa and Yixiao.Luo got in touch right away, and Zefa was actually not hard to find. The reason why he didn't contact him until now was because of CP9's slow work or lack of ability, but because Nagato, after learning about Zefa's situation, felt that he was not sure that he could directly persuade Zefa. There is no way to join him, so there has been no further contact.

According to the information provided by CP9, after Zefa resigned as an instructor seven years ago, he no longer had a permanent position in the Navy. However, two years ago, he underwent an experiment and transformed his right arm into a mechanical arm 'crusher' equipped with sea stones. His strength was basically restored, so he came out again and formed the "Pirate Guerrilla Team" to continue to implement the concept of "don't kill" to hunt down pirates.

The key is here.

Nagato knows that Zefa has experienced twists and turns, but the last straw that prompted him to leave the navy was the World Government's recruitment of Whitebeard II to become a member of Shichibukai. Before that, it would be even more difficult to impress Zefa.

However, the more important reason is that Nagato really couldn't make a move before.From killing Doflamingo to planning the new world sea area, every step of the plan requires Nagato to participate in the whole process. Naturally, you can't spend time on Zefa, but now everything is basically on the right track, so even if it is possible to do something for Zefa Long-term ideological work seems a bit inefficient, and his ability and value are worth Nagato's time and thought.

"Is he in the new world now?" Nagato was not surprised that Zefa was willing to meet him, because his status as the king of Dressrosa made it difficult for Zefa to have a reason to refuse, let alone him several times. It's an act of justice to fight against pirates.Nagato mentioned that Kalifa said that it can be arranged immediately.

"That's right." Kalifa replied, "Because Akainu's achievements in the battle the day before yesterday put Aokiji under a lot of pressure, which made his suppression activities in the four seas more intense. Mr. Zefa probably has nothing to do in the four seas, so he led the pirate guerrillas The team came to a new world."

After answering, Kalifa asked Nagato: "So you want to inform him to come?"

"No." Nagato's answer surprised Kalifa, "I'll go see him directly."

"Where is he now?" Nagato asked.

"The pirate guerrillas just completed a pirate arrest operation, and now they should be preparing to go to the G5 branch to rest."

"G5?" Nagato repeated, and the three were puzzled. "Then let's go there for a while."
