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

Chapter 337: Artel MacLen Becomes a Shichibukai

"The third Shichibukai is born, he is Doflamingo!"

"There are still four positions left in the Shichibukai. If you want to become one of the great pirates of Shichibukai, work hard to improve your reputation and challenge the great pirates of the new world!"

"The Shichibukai only recruit powerful pirates. If you become one of them, you will have supreme status!"

"Wealth, power, fame, these things, as long as you become a Shichibukai, you can get them all!"

"."

After the World Government completed the transaction with Doflamingo, Doflamingo immediately returned the Tenjo Gold to the World Government, and the World Government also issued a statement as soon as possible to confirm Doflamingo's identity.

Also, every time the World Government releases news, it praises the Seven Warlords of the Sea and publicizes their various benefits, in the hope of getting more big pirates to become Seven Warlords of the Sea and organizing them as soon as possible.

"It looks like the World Government and Doflamingo have reached some kind of deal!"

On the way to hunt down Doflamingo, Vice Admiral Tsuru received an order from Sengoku to "stop hunting down Doflamingo", and then she saw the current newspaper, and she knew that Doflamingo could no longer be hunted!
As a marine, she naturally cannot disobey the orders of the World Government.

"Alas, I don't know how many countries will fall into disaster because of the war. Doflamingo has sold too many arms for the Infinite Pirates. This is just the North Sea. If it expands to the other three seas and the Grand Line, then..."

Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed helplessly.

It was only after she realized Doflamingo's dangerous behavior that she volunteered to hunt him down.

The sale of arms by the Infinite Pirates has already caused great turmoil in the world, and now with Doflamingo helping the Infinite Pirates sell arms, it is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

She couldn't control the Wuji Pirates, so she picked Doflamingo to hunt down. Now Doflamingo has transformed into one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and his status is equal to hers, so she has to give up the chase!
"Fffffffffff, I've got the position of Shichibukai, but from now on, the sale of arms will have to be done in secret. I can't sell them under my name anymore. I have to at least change my identity, or sell them under a code name."

After Doflamingo obtained the position of Shichibukai, he began to plan his future development path.

His most important business now is the arms business, which he absolutely cannot give up. However, he does not want the World Government to catch him openly, so he can only sell it under a different identity code.

"The North Sea is too small. I want to expand my influence to other seas and occupy a piece of land in the Grand Line to use as a development base!"

"In a few years, when my strength improves, it will be best to move the base to the new world!"

Doflamingo originally wanted to set up the base directly in the New World, but when he recalled the scene where he was killed instantly by Esdeath, he suddenly calmed down from the joy of being a Shichibukai.

The New World is a place where the strong prey on the weak and many big pirates are entrenched. With his current strength, he doesn't even need to encounter those big pirates when entering the New World. He can't even beat the cadres under the big pirates.

With so much wealth, he will be a fat sheep when he enters the New World, and he will definitely be slaughtered by the pirates of the New World!

After eating the mythical beast species, Yamata-no-Orochi form of Artel MacLen, he followed Li Yuan's instructions and came to the first half of the Grand Line, and then began to develop his own pirate group.

With the secret help of the Wuji Pirates, Athel Macron's Orochi Pirates developed extremely rapidly in a short period of time, and soon the number of people reached thousands.

In addition to Artel Macron himself, there are three other powerful cadres. Like Artel Macron, they are geniuses secretly trained by the Promise Pirates.

"The fastest way to become a Shichibukai? If so, let's make a scene!"

After the Seven Warlords of the Sea system came out, the Promise Pirates referred to the experiences of Crocodile and Gekko Moriah and developed a plan for Artel MacLen to quickly join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

That is to increase your bounty as much as possible in the Grand Line, then enter the New World to challenge a big pirate, escape from the big pirate, and escape back to the Grand Line.

Because the World Government has only two criteria for selecting the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The first is that they are powerful and famous, and the second is that they have a grudge against the major pirate groups in the New World.

As long as these two criteria are met, they will generally be included in the shortlist of Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Hahahahaha, guys, we've expanded big enough. I'll take you to grab treasure!"

After receiving the information about the Promise Pirates, Artel MacLen immediately gathered his men and prepared to start a war with other pirate groups, rob them of their treasures, and even kill the navy if they met them.

In order to increase the bounty, the fastest way is to kill civilians, but Artel MacLen did not use this method. Instead, he chose to go to war with the navy and other pirate groups.

"Oh, Boss, let's go, we want treasure!!"

Hearing Artel MacLen's words, the pirates under his command were extremely excited. Many pirates could not resist the temptation of treasure. After all, this was the goal of many pirates going to sea!

"Hahahaha, let's go. I heard there's a pirate group called Paigui nearby. Their captain's bounty is 80 million. Let's go chop off his head and take all his treasures!"

Artel MacLen, with thousands of his followers, set out to attack other pirates. In the next few months, Artel MacLen headed towards the Sabaody Archipelago, and wherever he went, any pirate group he met was robbed by the Orochi Pirates.

Not only pirates, but also navy members, anyone Artel MacLen saw would be killed, and if he encountered a navy branch, he would destroy it without hesitation.

What matters is cruelty, violence, ambition and greed for money.

However, Artel MacLen was still quite a good person. He distributed part of the treasure to his subordinates, making them loyal to him, and his pirate group became stronger and stronger.

"Sengoku, are you really not going to capture Artel MacLen? He has great potential. If you give him time, he might grow into another great pirate in the future."

Vice Admiral Tsuru asked as he looked at the intelligence about Artel MacLen in his hand.

In just over a month, Art McLennan's bounty has continued to rise and now has reached 110 million.

"No, according to his route, the next destination is the Sabaody Archipelago. It is obvious that he is going to enter the New World."

"We just need to watch him enter the New World and kill the pirates there. There's no need to waste manpower to deal with him."

Warring States said.

There was one thing he didn't say, which was that the Navy Headquarters no longer had any extra combat power to deal with Artel MacLen.

Four monster vice admirals are fighting pirates in the four seas. Garp has asked for leave. The only one who can catch Artel MacLen is the Navy Admiral. Even Vice Admiral Tsuru himself is not safe.

But as a marshal, how could he leave the headquarters of the Navy just because of Artel MacLen?

So forcing Artel MacLennan into the new world was the best approach.

Next, just as Sengoku had expected, Athel Macron led his pirate group into the New World, and as soon as he entered the New World, he robbed three merchant ships of the Promise Pirates.

When the members of the Infinite Pirates learned of this, they immediately dispatched the newly promoted Mink Kumas to capture Artel MacLen.

But later on, Artel McLen showed great fighting ability. Even though he couldn't beat Kumas, Kumas couldn't catch Artel McLen.

Later, the core cadre Qingjiao was dispatched, and Artel McLen was defeated by Qingjiao. More than 500 crew members were killed by Qingjiao.

Artel MacLen escaped from Green Pepper's clutches with the support of his crew, and was then hunted down by the fleet led by Green Pepper in the New World.

In the end, Athel Macron's Orochi Pirates was reduced from one thousand people to two hundred people, and were eventually forced out of the New World and returned to the first half of the Grand Line.

Not long after, Artel MacLen indeed received an invitation from the World Government's Shichibukai and became the fourth Shichibukai!
"The Seven Warlords of the Sea finally made it, and lived up to the captain's expectations!"

Artel MacLen told Li Yuan immediately after becoming a Shichibukai.

"Alter MacLen, you did a good job. The next thing you need to do is to occupy a place called Verut in the Grand Line as your territory. It is a no-man's land, mixed with pirates, wanted criminals, corrupt navy, and some underground forces."

"After occupying that place, quickly recruit people and restore the strength of your original pirate group."

"The next step is to kill a man named Giberson. He is the warehouse king of the dark world. He has great prestige in the underground world. He is in charge of many warehouses around the world and helps many forces store goods."

"I want you to replace his position in the dark world within two years. Of course, the Wuji Pirates will also provide you with assistance during this period."

Li Yuan quickly assigned a new task to Artel McLennan.

In the dark world, Li Yuan had already started planning, and Luowang's spies had been placed around Kiberson so that his whereabouts could be known at any time.

It is easy for the Promise Pirates to get rid of Giberson, but it is a bit difficult to take over his position in the dark world and the warehouses and goods he controls.

However, Li Yuan has never had a suitable candidate to replace Kiberson in the dark world. Now Li Yuan feels that Artel McLennan is very suitable.

"Captain, don't worry, I will definitely get it done!"

Artel McLen was very excited when he heard about the mission assigned by Li Yuanxin.

The King of Warehouses in the Dark World, this name sounds cool. After hearing that he can control so many warehouses and goods, he feels that once he succeeds, he will no longer be short of Berry!
"Work hard, I look forward to the day when you become the warehouse king of the dark world!"

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction. He still trusted Artel McLennan very much, otherwise he would not have given him such an important position.
