Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

"What? The terrifying three-masted ship of Moria, one of the King's Shichibukai, is sailing to Alabasta?"

"How could this happen? Why would he suddenly act like this?"

"There is no information yet, and the contact we sent did not reach Moria himself..."

"Damn it! What on earth is this guy thinking?!"

In the Navy Headquarters, after receiving the report, Navy Marshal Sengoku hung up the phone and frowned in displeasure: "This kind of thing happened at such a critical moment. We must contact this guy as soon as possible. We are now High-level combat power is needed..."

He couldn't help but think of what happened not long ago.

"Now that Sand Crocodile has been deprived of the title of Shichibukai, in order to maintain the stability of order, we must select a suitable candidate to serve as the new Shichibukai as soon as possible. Do you have any ideas?"

"I have a little suggestion."

The speaker was a strange man holding a cane and wearing a top hat. He had a feminine face and a mysterious expression. He suddenly appeared on the window sill of the meeting hall, and then jumped into the meeting hall: "You don't mind if I recommend someone?" A suitable candidate, right?”

"Are you Lafitte?"

The thin Lieutenant General He raised his eyelids: "I heard that you were originally the Sheriff of Xihai, but you became notorious for your excessive use of violence. You were nicknamed the 'Devil Sheriff', and you were eventually expelled from your own country. , why do people like you appear here?"

"As expected of Lieutenant General He, he is indeed well-informed..."

Lafitte gave a gentlemanly courtesy: "But those are things in the past. We don't need to discuss it in detail, right? Now I am Blackbeard's subordinate, and he is the candidate for the Shichibukai I want to recommend."

"black beard?"

Even the well-informed Lieutenant General He had no impression of this name and couldn't help but frown: "What was his original bounty?"

"It's zero."

"Hahahaha, so are you here to joke with us?"

A lieutenant general couldn't help laughing loudly: "Can such a person be a Shichibukai? Is your brain okay? You must know that the Shichibukai is the highest title under the four emperors. What does this title mean? You don't know Don’t you understand? As long as you can get such a name, you will have an extremely huge reputation, which is equivalent to having a banner to recruit strong people. It can also offset previous sins and can legally rob, although the target is limited to Pirates, but such honors and benefits are not given casually! A person who doesn’t even have a bounty wants to be a Shichibukai? It’s just a dream!”

Lafitte glanced at the lieutenant general, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"I believe he didn't come all this way just to joke with us."

Lieutenant General He waved his hand: "Let's open the skylight and speak frankly. Whatever bargaining chips you have, just show them."

"As expected of Lieutenant General He."

Lafitte said with a smile: "In order for Captain Blackbeard to get the position in the Shichibukai, we have prepared a great gift for the navy, and that is the living captain of Whitebeard's first fleet, Fire Fist Ace!"

"You caught Fire Fist Ace?!"

The naval cadres in the meeting hall were very surprised. They all knew the gold content of this news.

Fire Fist Ace is no ordinary person!

As the captain of Whitebeard's first team, he has obviously been trained by Whitebeard as his successor. Now Whitebeard's health has deteriorated due to old age and injuries. No one knows how long he can last. , and once he dies, the person who takes his place will definitely be Ace.

In other words, if nothing else happens, Ace will be one of the new four emperors.

And although his strength is not yet mature, he definitely has the potential to become a Yonko. His fruit ability has been used to perfection. Once he masters the mature use of Haki in the future, it will not be a big deal to become a big man who can go head-to-head with generals. Difficult matter.

The Navy has long wanted to get rid of Ace, the future successor of Whitebeard. It is undoubtedly the most convenient option to pluck a powerful enemy from the bud.

But Whitebeard had obviously already taken precautions against this.

Therefore, the Navy has never found any opportunity to deal a cruel blow to Ace, because once the general-level powerhouses are mobilized, Whitebeard will definitely get the news quickly and respond, and it may escalate into a battle between the two sides. Great war.

Neither the Navy nor Whitebeard wanted such a war to happen.

Because that will undoubtedly shake the current almost stable world structure.

But what people really didn't expect was that Ace was actually captured alive, and it was an unknown guy like Blackbeard!

"But having said that, I know that such an unknown person would have the opportunity to seize Ace..."

Lieutenant General He showed a wry smile: "If those old monsters who have been famous for a long time want to take action, the news will probably spread as soon as they move out, and Whitebeard will definitely not turn a blind eye to this, but if it is If Ace capsizes in the gutter, even Whitebeard won't have time to react."

"None of that matters, what matters is the final result."

Lafitte smiled and said: "In any case, we have indeed captured Fire Fist Ace. There is only one question left. Do you want to accept our deal and let Blackbeard become the Shichibukai? As long as you agree to our proposal , we are willing to transfer Ace to the Navy."

"You guys really threw a hot potato..."

Lieutenant General He rubbed his eyebrows: "Once Whitebeard knows that Ace is in the hands of the Navy, he will never sit idly by and do nothing. Before we formally execute Ace, there may be an outbreak with Whitebeard's group. A total war! This happened so suddenly that no one was prepared for it..."

"These have nothing to do with us."

Lafitte shrugged: "The mighty navy won't shrink back just because of Whitebeard's intimidation, right?"

"That's the strongest man in the world!" Lieutenant General He sneered.

"But he is right. Now that things have happened, the Navy cannot choose to retreat."

Sengoku sighed and said, "We accept your proposal. As long as you hand Ace over to the Navy Headquarters, we will grant Blackbeard the status of the Shichibukai!"

He really couldn't refuse Lafitte's conditions.

Because only a handful of high-level officials within the Navy knew that Ace was not only Whitebeard’s valued successor, he was also the posthumous son of Roger, the Pirate King. He must die no matter what, and Roger’s bloodline must be fully established in this world. cut off!
