Pirates of the First Empire

Great Waterway, Navy Headquarters.

In the marshal's office, Warring States and Zefa had already finished reading the latest information in their hands. At the same time, there was also an additional person in the office at this time, that is, the new chief of staff of the Navy Headquarters, known as Lieutenant General He is the "Naval Think Tank".

Compared with the two people in the marshal's office, He was able to get the information faster than them, because the office of the Intelligence Department was also in the same building as their staff department, while the marshal and the generals of the headquarters were in an independent building. , it can also be seen from this point that the Navy Headquarters is essentially a hierarchical organization...

……

In essence, as a disciplinary force, the Navy Headquarters must have a strict hierarchy and a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates in order to be able to effectively enforce orders and prohibitions. Otherwise, it will not even be possible to listen to whom and when. If you talk about it for a long time, then they will not be efficient in performing tasks. Only when the division of responsibilities and powers is clear can there be a basis for what to do.

In fact, the pirates are not bad at executing this point. On a pirate ship, the captain's order is absolute. Once the captain's words don't work, the pirate group is not far from disintegration, even in the original work The Red-Haired Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates are laughing and joking all day long, and the captain seems to be a pirate group with no dignity. However, whenever Shanks and Luffy give orders as captains, every member must obey them.

……

Tsurubi Zefa and Sengoku had to read the information in their hands faster. Moreover, as a semi-expert in intelligence, maybe when others are lazy about this information, they need to read it together with various previous information, so as not to As for Lieutenant General He, the information she had read has long been remembered in her mind, so it seems that this information is not difficult for her, and it even connects to many places that she could not connect to before. , this time I also contacted him with the help of this information.

Therefore, after He understood the content of the information, he immediately came to Zeng Guo's office. Although he did not expect Zefa to be here, as she expected, Zeng Guo was also watching carefully. The piece of information I just got...

At the beginning, they had all seen Doyle with their own eyes, so the order to pay attention to Bafu's intelligence was a joint decision between the two of them. What's more, they had also reached a secret "deal" with the young king. Now It seems that it is almost time for this "deal" to take effect.

After General He came to the Marshal's office, he looked at the solemn-looking Sengoku and Zefa. He did not alarm them, but quietly waited for them to finish reading. The topic they were going to discuss next was originally based on this piece of information. Naturally, we have to wait until they finish reading...

"Have you finished reading?" Seeing that Warring States and Zefa put down the information in their hands almost at the same time, Lieutenant General He said. Obviously, although these two people had been checking the information just now, they were naturally concerned about the movement of He entering the office. You still need to know, but they were all attracted by the information in their hands at the time and kept silent for the time being.

"Xiaohe, I knew you would come over. It seems that our original guess was correct. The other party will definitely not stay in Nanhai forever. It seems that this time the boy will not continue to hide..."

Warring States looked at He who had already made a pot of hot tea for himself, and said, in fact, the only people in the entire Navy headquarters who really have a clear understanding of Bafu are himself and He. As for the others, including Zefa, previously They don’t have any special thoughts about this...

"Well, it seems you have guessed that this year is the World Conference. I guess Brother Doyle doesn't want to miss this opportunity. However, this matter is not difficult for him, even if he doesn't have his own territory yet. But as long as he declares the establishment of a country, those above him should quickly send him invitations... However, the good news is that Senior Figo does not seem to be involved, otherwise, this tyrant will be even more terrifying."

He nodded, and then expressed some of his opinions. Although there were many things in her words that were not fully stated, for Warring States, there was no pressure at all to understand them. With the tacit understanding between them, and There is a high degree of overlap of various information in my mind, and basically there are many things that do not require much explanation.

As soon as He said this, the Warring States Period immediately connected something. It seems that back then, Doyle, who entered the Navy Headquarters as Crown Prince Andre, was already planning something about the "Bafu". After recalling the deal they negotiated with Doyle, they could guess the purpose...

As for what He said later, Sengoku had not noticed it before. Now that he heard what she said, Sengoku was also frightened. You must know that although Figo is not well-known, he had already failed to compete for the position of Navy Admiral and left the Navy Headquarters. , even considered to have taken a back seat.

However, if someone is really taking advantage of this, the blow to the Navy Headquarters will undoubtedly be huge and lasting. Once Figo, a former hero and veteran of the Navy, stays in Bafu for a day, Then their entire naval headquarters will be uncomfortable for a day. No matter how they explain it internally, people outside will definitely not accept it...

After all, rather than reading announcements and explanations from their naval headquarters, outsiders prefer to read all kinds of outrageous reports in newspapers, as well as conspiracy theories that are unknown whether they are true or false. Moreover, these things are transmitted extremely quickly, and they are widely used in newspapers. New versions will continue to appear in the process of dissemination. By then, this will obviously not be a good thing for the Navy Headquarters and Bafu itself.

"Information is just information. Senior Figo can't just sit back and ignore his grandson. What's more, the strength of that guy Barr will be much worse than Sakaski and the others..."

At this time, Zefa also spoke. Of course, at this time, they did not know that Figo had gotten rid of his illness and had even returned to his peak strength. Therefore, although they were a little scared, it was nothing more than that. After all, in their eyes, with the injury of senior Figo, At this level, he probably won't live long.

However, what Zefa said later made both Sengoku and He nod in agreement. As the senior leaders of the Navy Headquarters, how could they not know the strength of Barr, the "Judge" or should now be called the "Duke of Judgment"? It's not because Barr has never established his own pirate group. His level of danger is definitely on par with "Fallen Angel" Lucifer, and even higher than the former "Boxing Champion" Hannock.

Perhaps in terms of realm, the current Barr is the same as "Fallen Angel" Lucifer and "Red-haired" Shanks, but they are all possessors of overlord-colored domineering, so even if they face the navy admirals Akainu and Kizaru, They can also compete with Aokiji. Before the moment of life and death, no one dares to say who can definitely defeat the other party, because everyone's strength is infinitely close to the "ceiling". At this time, the outcome depends on the means and explosion.

As for the Ba Mansion that has been exposed now, Baal, a strong man, is already in charge. As the leader of the Ba Mansion, Doyle's strength should be at least as strong as that of the other party. In this way, the strength of the Ba Mansion, even if Even the navy headquarters dare not provoke him casually. The level of danger is no different from that of the "Three Emperors" of the New World. Of course, fortunately, Bafu is not on the opposite side of the navy, and there is even a basis for cooperation between the two parties.

However, at this time, the three people in the office still have a guess that they have not expressed, that is, as the "king" of the Bafu, the strength of the young Archduke Azathoth may still be higher than Baal. No, it should be Say it is very possible, even "certain"! After all, the intelligence stated that Barr himself accepted the "canonization" of the other party. If the other party was not strong enough, there would be no such clear-cut distinction between superiors and subordinates.

The three people present all thought of this, but no one said it. In any case, the "young" king was still too young, too young to believe this well-founded guess and judgment...

New world, where the Whitebeard Pirates are stationed.

Since the end of last year's war, the Whitebeard Pirates have begun to passively expand. Whether it is the power of the Whitebeard Pirates' headquarters or the strength of the subordinate pirate groups, they are constantly expanding. Those pirate groups who are self-aware and unwilling to get involved in the "Fourth Emperor" dispute are looking for shelter. Under such circumstances, is there any more suitable existence than the Whitebeard Pirates?

Compared with the Whitebeard Pirates, both the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are still a little younger. Therefore, even if Whitebeard himself has no intention of expanding, a large number of pirates have joined the Whitebeard Pirates. Among the big family of the regiment, this is the result of a small number of defectors who remained after a simple screening by the captains of Whitebeard's headquarters and even Whitebeard himself...

If the Whitebeard Pirates really let go of their expansion, Kaido and Big Mom should have already come to the door at this time, among other things. After all, if Whitebeard is so domineering and shows an open-minded attitude, then they Naturally, the two of you are not vegetarians. This involves the most fundamental conflict of interests.

However, these things have nothing to do with Whitebeard himself and the core squad captains. Most of their ideas are based on their father's advice, which is not to deliberately expand and live their own lives. This may not be their inner thoughts. , but undoubtedly they are the ones who respect Whitebeard’s ideas the most...

They understand that their father actually has no intention of expanding and competing for hegemony. However, if one of them establishes a new territory in the name of the Whitebeard Pirates and holds it for a certain period of time, then this territory will belong to the Whitebeard Pirates by default. The group is all in. Anyone who dares to attack at will at this time is the enemy of the Whitebeard Pirates.

It is precisely because of Whitebeard's attitude that the Whitebeard Pirates have been passively expanding during this period. You know, the Whitebeard Pirates' territory was already the largest in the New World. However, this time The Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are actively expanding. In terms of expansion speed, it has to be them...

"Dad, have you... finished reading?" Looking at Whitebeard who put down the information in his hand, Marco took the initiative to ask. This information was clearly about the Bafu, although most of the Whitebeard Pirates were at this time. Everyone is away fighting, but several of the most core cadres, including First Division Captain Marco, Third Division Captain Jozi, Fourth Division Captain Sachi, and Fifth Division Captain Bista, are all by Whitebeard's side.

At this time, they had all finished reading the information about the Ba Mansion. On the contrary, their father, White Beard, did not read it quickly. It was not until they had been chatting for a while that they saw White Beard put down the information in his hand... …

"Well, it can be seen that the young man who founded this organization is a guy with great ambitions and ideas. It's really interesting, Kuhahahahaha!" Whitebeard saw Marco's confused face, but he smiled and gave the answer His own evaluation also meant that he had indeed read the information and did not take it seriously.

Bafu is no stranger to several core members of the Whitebeard Pirates. Marco has met Gao twice. Marco is still very afraid of Gao, but he can feel that the other party He doesn't seem to have much fear of himself... You know, this is a new world. Although there are not many Marcos who don't fear him, there are some, but there are almost no people who don't fear what he represents, the white-bearded father behind him. exist!

As for the guy called Prison, Marco didn't feel the slightest fear, neither for himself nor for his father, Whitebeard.

Obviously, there are very few strong people at their level who are not very smart. In other words, it is very likely that there is a stronger person behind the other party's performance, or even more than one. In this way, it is given The opponent’s unparalleled confidence...

In addition, there is Bista. Bista once fought against the great sword Hao Haart in the Overlord Mansion. It was obvious that Bista lost. As for the difference, Bista also knew very well, but it was difficult to find it for a while. Go one step further.

Bista's swordsmanship skills and kendo perception are not bad at all, but he is still inferior to Hart, who controls two large and fast swords. The existence of Hart allowed him to stir up the madman called "Oden" , that guy is also a great double-sword swordsman. However, even that guy Oden only has one of his swords, "Enma", which is a demon sword...

In addition, there was also the most recent contact between the Whitebeard Pirates and Bafu. It was in the Golden City. Jozi and Tezolo had a collision. Naturally, they did not fight in the end and were persuaded by Sachi. However, looking at their subordinates who were instantly controlled by Tezoro, they understood that at least within the Golden City, they must not easily take action against this "city lord"!
