Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

A sea surface on the Great Route——

Luffy, with a bruised face, said to the people in front of him: I'm so sorry~

"It's always like this. I apologize as soon as I make a mistake, but I'll do it again next time!"

Nami, who was standing by, yelled at Luffy in frustration:

"When are you going to calm down, idiot!"

stab~

There was a faint sound of thunder jumping in Nami's hands.

"Calm down, Nami!!!" X2

Merry and Chopper hugged Nami's thighs respectively, which prevented Nami from using her ultimate move.

"Nami is so scary." Seeing this scene, Luffy was not afraid at all. Instead, he picked his nose and said calmly.

"Reflect on this, Luffy!" Chopper, who was holding his thigh, instantly turned into fangs and roared at Luffy.

Bang!

Usopp punched Luffy in the back of the head, causing his head to sway back and forth, and then said:

"You almost made us fall into the naval base!!!"

"If Bai Ye hadn't reacted quickly, we would have been in jail now!"

It turned out that when Luffy was descending in the octopus balloon, he was craving for something to taste like octopus.

So he took a bite.

Then, the octopus was so scared that it loosened its claws, almost causing the Merry to free fall.

Fortunately, Bai Ye used the magic of Qimen in time to support the Merry for a moment, and Sanji used the Tiyun Leap to catch the octopus back, thus averting the crisis.

Unfortunately, after the commotion just now, the Merry had already arrived above a naval base.

Marinford, Admiral's Office -

Sengoku answered the call to the Den Den Mushi at hand, and the latter immediately changed, revealing the image of a middle-aged man with a thick mustache.

Seeing this face, Zhan Guo immediately remembered his identity, so he asked directly:

"What's the matter, Lieutenant General Jonathan?"

"There are indeed some things, Marshal Zhan Guo."

A deep voice came from the Den Den Mushi:

"Just now, the G8 Fortress was nearly attacked by pirates from the air."

"What a joke." Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo immediately said:

"The G8 Fortress is called the Iron Wall and has 108 cannons. How could there be any pirates who would attack you!"

“So I said almost.”

Jonathan continued in a calm voice:

"At first I did think it was an active attack by pirates, but later I realized it was probably a misunderstanding."

"It seems that they came to us for some reason."

Hearing this, Zhan Guo nodded. This was consistent with his understanding, so he continued to ask:

"So, did you catch the pirates?"

"Unfortunately, Marshal Zhan Guo, no." Jonathan replied.

"Oh?" Zhan Guo became interested.

"Although I ordered the bombardment immediately, it was blocked by everyone on the ship, and -"

“They fly very fast.”

"Fly? You mean they're flying?"

Zhan Guo only paid attention to Jonathan's words at this time and couldn't help but become nervous.

Because in his impression, the only pirate group that can fly seems to be that guy's.

"It's not a golden lion."

Jonathan seemed to have seen Sengoku's expression through Den Den Mushi, and he explained directly:

"It seems that they just came down from the Sky Island, riding on an octopus balloon."

Zhan Guo breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"Did you see their pirate flag clearly?"

The Den Den Mushi was silent for a moment before speaking:

"I can see clearly that the pirates are the Straw Hat Pirates who were called the [Gossip Pirates] during this period."

"It seems that the reason they disappeared some time ago was because they went to Sky Island."

That’s right, during the time when the Straw Hat Pirates landed on Sky Island, there were significant changes on the sea again because of them.

World News conducted an exclusive interview with Vivi, the current Queen of Alabasta, regarding the previous Sand Crocodile incident.

But unlike previous similar text messages, this time, Morgans even used an entire page to record the content of the interview.

In the interview, Vivi recounted the entire story of how the Straw Hat Pirates saved her in times of crisis and were willing to help Alabasta at all costs.

And for some reason, Vivi seemed to be gathering strength for something, so she did not openly support the Straw Hat Pirates in the interview.

Although this made Morgans a little disappointed, it didn't matter because he had other preparations.

In addition to Weiwei’s interview, Morgans also released other news.

That's what the Straw Hat Pirates did in the East China Sea.

He defeated several East China Sea pirates including [Iron Rod] Alrita, [Clown] Buggy, [Hundred Plans] Crow, [Pirate Admiral] Creek and [Fishman] Arlong one after another.

20 villages including Orange Town, Dongluobu Village, Sea Restaurant and Cocosia were rescued.

Not only that, defeating Monka, a navy who brutally ruled Shields Town, and exposing Colonel Mouse who colluded with pirates, added a highlight to the Straw Hat Pirates' resume.

The newspaper even included some photos as evidence.

It can be said that every aspect has been thought of.

It can even be concluded that this was a premeditated and organized action.

Instantly, the sea was stirred up by huge waves!!!

If the previous news had left many pirates on the Grand Line with an impression of the Straw Hat Pirates.

This time, the [Straw Hat Pirates Special] resonated with many civilians.

Especially some commoners who are suffering from oppression by the country's nobles.

Not only do they envy the royal family of Alabasta, they also hope to meet people like the Straw Hat Pirates.

Someone who can save himself.

It seemed as if overnight, the Straw Hat Pirates were completely "whitened" and became what people call the "Excellent Pirates."

Of course, this is just a compliment to the Straw Hat Pirates' past behavior.

It doesn’t mean that these civilians have developed a favorable impression of pirates.

This point was also specifically stated in Morgans' special.

That is, all of this is the behavior of the Straw Hat Pirates and has nothing to do with other pirates.

But no matter what, the emergence of the [Gozen Pirates] still brought considerable impact to the Navy and the World Government.

Afterwards, as if it was agreed upon, in some of the member states of the World Government, groups of civilians began to emerge to resist tyranny.

More importantly, it seems that there is someone guiding these teams behind the scenes.

Although it was only a very small number, Zhan Guo still smelled a different scent from it.

"What on earth do you and your son want to do?"

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Guo muttered to himself as he looked at the intelligence of the past few days.

He could already conclude that the mastermind behind this incident was the revolutionary army.

Of course he knew about the father-son relationship between Dragon and Luffy.

So he couldn't help but connect the two people's behavior.

I even thought of the Straw Hat Pirates' unusual behavior in the East China Sea before.

He handed the pirates over to the navy every time, constantly rescued the town, and even reported them to the navy.

All these things made Zhan Guo suspicious.

Is this a long-planned conspiracy?
