One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 335: The Seven Warlords of the Sea

Holy Land Marijoa:

The destroyed holy land of Marijoa has begun reconstruction work in full swing after the World Government allocated a large number of slaves from the Red Earth Continent and invested funds from the World Government.

"The World Conference is about to begin. The policy of increasing the amount of Heavenly Gold must be implemented, and we must speed up the printing of Berry. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to recover the losses from the last explosion."

Said the Scientific Defense God of War, Satan.

"We were going to use the capture of Wald as a topic to convince the member states to increase the number of people in the sky, but in the end we were interfered by the Flying Pirates and the Infinite Pirates. In the end, although Wald was killed, we ourselves failed. However, we later captured John, so we should be able to continue the talks with the member states."

"In addition to increasing the amount of Tenshangjin, we can also increase the number of member states. Now that the pirate era has arrived, many non-member states that relied on their own strength were unwilling to join us. Now that there are a large number of pirates invading, they have no choice but to rely on us. If they really don't know what's good for them in the end, don't blame us for taking their wealth!"

"Also, we should harvest some of the fat sheep we raised in the Red Earth Continent, even if they are not yet mature!"

"By the way, we can also invest more in the underground world. The various dark industries there are very profitable."

Said the Financial Martial God Nasu Juro Sei.

"I'm not worried about wealth. After all, with our foundation, we can recover most of it in at least ten years."

"However, during this period of time, due to the weakness shown by our world government, there has been great unrest in the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line."

"Because of Roger, pirates have proliferated. Many member countries have requested the protection of our World Government. For Tenjoujin, we have also sent a large number of forces to help them. Now the power of our World Government is far from enough!"

"There is a force on the sea that calls itself the Self-Guardian Army that has suddenly risen up, and their core philosophy is almost completely opposite to that of our World Government. They instigated internal unrest in a member country, completely subverted that country, and made that country withdraw from the ranks of member countries."

"Not only that, they are also expanding aggressively and encouraging other countries to join them!"

"In addition to this, the Wuji Pirates not only established trading islands in the West Sea, but also in the other three seas and the Grand Line. They sold arms and various materials on a large scale, causing our entire rear area to fall into great turmoil."

Said the God of Justice, Vochuli Saint.

"We can ignore the Wuji Pirates for now. We can even use the things they sell to make a profit."

"But we must suppress the Self-Defense Forces first. Even if it means reducing aid to member states and increasing investment in the CP organization, we must eradicate the Self-Defense Forces!"

"This force is more threatening to our World Government than pirates, because the ideology of this force threatens our World Government's 800 years of rule. We cannot let the ideology of the Self-Defense Force spread. Otherwise, the slaves, non-member countries and even member countries under our rule may become disloyal and even secretly join the Self-Defense Force and try to overthrow the rule of our World Government!"

Said the environmental martial god Mazi Saint.

"The Self-Defense Forces must be eradicated with all our strength. We cannot allow them to develop, spread, or be passed down."

"But the pirates also need to be controlled. It is undoubtedly impossible to rely on the navy. The Shichibukai system we proposed before should also be implemented!"

"These are the two targets, Gekko Moriah and Crocodile. These two were previously defeated by Kaido, the new pirate in the New World, and have now fled back to the Four Seas."

"They are quite powerful and have a grudge against the Great Pirates of the New World. They are perfect candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea. I think we can send someone to contact them and see what they are willing to do."

The God of Science and Defense, Satan, took out two pieces of information about Crocodile and Gekko Moriah and said.

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"."

Alabasta:
After losing to Kaido, Crocodile was hunted down by Kaido in the New World. He had no choice but to flee back to the Grand Line from the New World in a panic.

After Kaido saw Crocodile get out of the New World, he no longer continued to chase Crocodile.

"Damn Kaido, once I find the ancient weapon, I will kill you first!"

While being hunted by Kaido, Crocodile accidentally learned the secret of ancient weapons in the Kingdom of Alabasta. So after getting rid of Kaido's pursuit, he immediately came to this kingdom with endless desert.

"If Kaido dares to chase here, I will make him feel abused!"

Crocodile looked at the golden desert beneath his feet and returned to his previous arrogant self.

As a user of the nature-type Sand-Sand Fruit, this desert land greatly increases his combat power. He is confident that he can defeat Kaido here!
"It's a bit troublesome to be a member of the World Government, but it's always a good idea to recruit new subordinates first!"

After Crocodile clarified his goal, he began to recruit his subordinates again. The subordinates he recruited before had all died in the battle with the Beasts Pirates, and now he can be said to be alone.

"You lackey of the World Government, what are you doing here looking for me? Are you here to arrest me?"

However, just as Crocodile was recruiting subordinates and wanted to redevelop his power, a group of guys in white suits and masks approached him.

"Capturing pirates is what the navy needs to do. We came to you to invite you to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea organization established by the World Government."

"The Shichibukai are legal pirates recognized by the World Government. As long as they abide by certain rules, they can plunder legally."

"And the World Government will cancel your bounty. The Navy and the Shichibukai are equal in status. As long as you don't take the initiative to attack the Navy, the Navy will not be able to attack you."

"In addition to this, the Seven Warlords of the Sea also possess..."

CP0, who came to invite Crocodile, told him the rules of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Interesting, I didn't expect that the World Government would need to use pirates to fight pirates in the end. But this is very helpful for my plan!"

"As long as I have the title of Shichibukai, the navy will not be able to interfere with my actions in the Kingdom of Alabasta, and they can also help me find the ancient weapon Pluto as a cover."

When Crocodile heard that he would be a dog for the World Government, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, Crocodile suddenly felt that this name was very good.

"How about it, Mr. Crocodile, have you decided to join the Shichibukai?"

After CP0 finished speaking, he paused for three minutes, giving Crocodile three minutes to think.

"No problem, I'll take over the position of Shichibukai!"

After careful consideration, Crocodile decided to take over this position. After all, it would bring great benefits to him.

As for cooperating with the World Government to deal with pirates, it is just a convenient thing. He will only do it as long as it is beneficial to him. If it is dangerous or there is no benefit, he can refuse. At most, he will face the World Government's wanted warrant again. It's not like he hasn't been wanted before.

On the other side, Gekko Moriah, who was also defeated by Kaido, also escaped back to the Grand Line and also received an invitation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"The damn World Government actually wants me to be their dog like the Navy!!"

After receiving the invitation from the Shichibukai of the World Government, Gekko Moriah angrily tore the so-called invitation letter into two halves.

"Boss, we are being hunted by Kaido now. Why don't we use the reputation of the World Government to repel Kaido?"

Seeing Moonlight Moriah so angry, Willow Gargula couldn't help but remind him.

Previously, while Kaido was dealing with Crocodile, Gekko Moriah was rescued by his subordinates.

Before escaping, Gekko Moriah stole the shadows of a large number of Beasts Pirates members and used those shadows to kill many of them.

When Kaido found out later, he was very angry. Even though Gekko Moriah escaped back to the Grand Line, he was still hunted down by Kaido and has not escaped yet.

"Hmm? That madman Kaido actually dared to enter the Grand Line. Isn't he afraid that the Navy and the World Government will catch him?"

"Maybe you are right. We can disguise ourselves as the World Government and make Kaido retreat!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Gekko Moriah finally accepted the title of Shichibukai of the World Government, just like Crocodile.
