Pirate Catcher in the Rye

the next day,

"Crash!"

War House rode the wind and waves and finally arrived in Buenos.

Everyone found that there were only a few scattered pirate ships in the port, most of which were merchant ships, and there was even a warship parked there.

Seeing their arrival, the people around them looked over one after another, their eyes full of surprise.

He seemed shocked by the size of the war room, and also seemed surprised that the Hawkins Pirates dared to appear here so blatantly.

"Tap Tap!"

Ignoring the weird looks around them, Hawkins and his gang calmly stepped off the boat and walked towards the town.

If the navy didn't come to see them, Hawkins would be happy to have some leisure time, experience the customs and customs of different countries, and hang out here for a week before leaving.

……

G6 branch.

"The Kingdom of Atria...the royal capital of Tiresos...the Hawkins Pirates?" Hancock looked at the information that came this morning and rubbed his head with a headache.

What a bunch of restless guys!

I don't know what's going on recently, the newcomers who went to sea this year are more noisy than one, and there are constantly bad newcomers popping up.

Damn pirate!

I have been so busy lately because of these newcomers. I just dealt with a troublesome pirate group yesterday, and now the Hawkins Pirates are here again.

During this period, even one of the Shichibukai fell, which has seriously affected the balance of the three major forces. I don't know if that Blackbeard is reliable.

But those are things that the headquarters should consider, and he can only manage his own one-third of an acre!

"Lieutenant General, the Hawkins Pirates are no small matter. It is with that lineup that they dominate the North Sea." A major general said respectfully.

The reason why he is so respectful is not only Hancock's own strength, but also his wisdom.

G6 is the only fortress among all branches that does not have a staff position. Hancock's overall view and resourcefulness are enough to ensure the smooth operation of G6, or even more than enough.

But today...

The news coming from Tiresus has to make people pay attention.

The Hawkins Pirates were able to massacre hundreds of thousands of pirates in such a short period of time. Normally, this would be an earth-shattering event, but most civilians were left unharmed.

The Hawkins Pirates had already destroyed two countries in the North Sea, and later indirectly destroyed a country by accepting employment.

They are fundamentally different from the newcomers in the past!

"The Kingdom of Atria is a non-member country, and the attitude of the Navy Headquarters is unclear. If you arrest them hastily, it may cause irreparable losses."

"More than that, this year's Grand Route seems to be a little restless, and appalling events have occurred on each of the other six routes."

"even…"

Hancock pondered for a moment and did not continue.

Just what was reported in the newspaper was shocking enough, especially today, Judiciary Island ENIESLOBBY was actually destroyed by the Straw Hat Pirates.

It's unbelievable!

That is an important organization under the World Government, and its official status is even tied with the Navy Headquarters and Impel Down City!

Even though G6 is one of the few large-scale fortresses on the Grand Line, it has as many as 1 naval personnel stationed there.

but,

Hancock still doesn't have much confidence in arresting the Hawkins Pirates!

According to their intelligence, in addition to the 3000 core members of the Hawkins Pirates, there are also [-] clone troops.

The strength of those clone soldiers far exceeds that of the ordinary navy. In terms of military strength, they have no advantage at all!

"Lieutenant General, on another route, Eustace Kidd committed the same evil act not long ago. Why not deal with it according to the method there."

At this moment, Hancock's adjutant suddenly spoke.

Although they were two different routes, the Navy clearly ignored the Kidd Pirates on that route and did not bother them.

A pirate group of that level cannot be handled by their branches. Forcibly arresting them will only result in more losses than gains!

There was a precedent for the Kidd Pirates, and no one could hold them accountable. Those pirates would eventually go to the Shampoo Islands anyway.

It was close to the Navy Headquarters and would be easier to arrest if they wanted to.

Gollum!

Hancock picked up the teacup and took a sip, and sighed: "I don't know what the Warring States Marshal was thinking. It's completely unreliable to let the potential supernova go to the new world to contain the four emperors!"

They, the top brass of the Navy, are well aware of the strategic policies implemented by the Navy Headquarters.

Whenever a great era comes, countless talented newcomers will always emerge. They will break the existing pattern and constantly challenge the overlords of the old era!

When the navy is unable to stop the tide of the times, the emergence of those newcomers can effectively consume the strength within the pirates and curb the expansion of the four emperors.

The only drawback is that they may not be able to block the attack of those monsters, and finally surrender to the Yonko.

But before that, they will also greatly consume the Yonkou Pirates' foundation.

In the short term, it will be more beneficial to the Navy until they become bigger.

"Could it be?"

Hancock touched his chin, thinking of the Navy's pacifists and another, more secretive plan.

Even if those newcomers have potential, if they are not given time to grow, there seems to be nothing to worry about even if they end up joining the Four Emperors.

Looking at it this way, it makes sense. The Navy should take some big actions in recent years!

"There is no need to ask for permission. According to the grading standards established by the headquarters, regardless of potential or strength, the Hawkins Pirates have undoubtedly reached S level."

"The uncrowned king of the North Sea. When this kind of pirate group enters the new world, it will definitely challenge the position of the Four Emperors. This is a good thing for the navy!"

"more importantly…"

In this era of alternation between old and new, the Navy does not intend to sit back and watch the storm.

The gap between the old overlord falling and the new overlord yet to grow up is the best time for them to clean up the new world.

"Then, including the Hawkins Pirates..."

"In addition to the previous Kidd Pirates, Straw Hat Pirates, Heart Pirates, Drake Pirates, and Flame Tank Pirates."

"Now there are six seeded players who need special attention!"

Hancock looked solemn. Unknowingly, so many seeded contestants had emerged, and no one knew how many more would be in the future.

By now, he began to understand somewhat what the Navy Headquarters was doing.

Since we can't stop the rampage of this era, let's let those behemoths bleed a little more first!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. As long as those seed players still have the ambition to become kings, they will definitely attack the Yonko.

"So…"

Hancock clenched his fists and finally understood why the Navy Headquarters would rather risk an all-out war with the Whitebeard Pirates to execute Ace, the Fire Fist.

The Whitebeard Pirates are too strong, and the general environment of the new world is too stable. With this mountain around, it will be difficult for the newcomers to make waves.

The New World cannot have such a unique and outstanding pirate group, otherwise the Whitebeard Pirates may very well use this style to unify the New World.

As the heroes compete, letting the pirates weaken and cannibalize each other is the only way to win!

New people need a gap, a more chaotic environment, and a stage to perform.

And the navy is happy to pay some price and use the corpses of the overlords of the old era to build this stage for them!
