No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

Apart from the low-level pirates in the four seas of the east, west, south, and north.

Almost all the powerful pirates in the Grand Line have joined the Rocks Pirates.

In other words, these two pirates who dared to take such a big risk to directly rob the Heavenly Gold are actually two newcomers who have not yet made a name for themselves!

"Yes...yes, the pirate who stole the Celestial Gold this time hasn't been officially recorded yet, but the pirate of a special race next to him is an experimental subject who escaped from the Navy laboratory..."

"And...and both of them are users of all three types of Haki...Our Navy has also received information that they plan to join the Rocks Pirates..."

After telling the Five Elders everything he knew, the Vice Admiral finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing such supreme power for the first time, he almost stopped breathing. This place was so oppressive.

"What?! You idiot, you mean those two pirates both possess all three types of Haki? And they even said they wanted to join the Rocks Pirates?!"

Zambaron Nassjuro, who had been clutching the first generation Kitetsu in his hand, was shocked to hear that a dangerous individual like Rahu was going to join the Rocks Pirates.

In a moment of desperation, he blurted out his native language of Wano Country.

......

Chapter 14 Fake Beating

"According to the Marines who managed to escape, it's true... those two criminals did indeed say they wanted to join the Rocks Pirates..."

"What a troublesome bunch! The Rocks Pirates were already a difficult group to deal with, and now they're adding two young geniuses who have awakened all three types of Haki... Does this mean the plan has to be canceled?" The Five Elders, holding the demon sword, looked grim, his right hand gripping the scabbard trembling uncontrollably.

Aside from their massive pirate force that practically controlled the entire Grand Line, the Rocks Pirates...

More importantly, there are the few exceptionally talented pirates under his command.

Edward Newgate, nicknamed Whitebeard, with a bounty of 17 billion Berries, is a master of all three types of Haki!

Shiki, known as the Golden Lion Pirate Admiral, has a bounty of 1.887 billion, is a user of the Float-Float Fruit, and is also a user of all three types of Haki!

Charlotte Linlin, nicknamed "Big Mom," has a bounty of 911 million,0 ... Soul-Soul Fruit user, and possesses all three types of Haki!

Besides these three exceptionally powerful pirates, the Rocks Pirates also included two other great pirates, Silver Axe and Wang Zhi, who were no less formidable than the Admirals, the highest-ranking combatants in the Marine Headquarters.

And now, two more young men with the courage to seize the Heavenly Gold are joining the Rocks Pirates.

This is even worse news for the world government's rule.

"Since your navy has information, it means Rocks must also have intelligence gathered..."

"We have to make some decisions. That guy Rocks will definitely not let go of two young people with the blood of all three types of Haki..."

The old man with the mustache looked with a distant gaze at the beautiful man-made garden outside Mary Geoise.

Although being forced into a direct confrontation with the Rocks Pirates would be extremely unwise, he simply couldn't tolerate the addition of two more freakish brats to the crew.

"Immediately issue an assembly order to all personnel at Marine Headquarters and CP0! Proceed to Devil's Island immediately to support Kongo! If necessary, destroy the entire island!"

"In short, we absolutely cannot allow these two heinous villains to join the Rocks Pirates!"

After glancing at his colleagues who remained silent, the man with the mustache, Wu Laoxing, directly gave orders to the vice admiral beside him.

"Yes, sir! Naval Headquarters guarantees the mission will be accomplished!"

Having received no new orders, the vice admiral barely lingered before leaving the oppressive holy site of Mary Geoise.

Because Mary Geoise, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons, must be within the protection zone of Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

So very quickly, the vice admiral brought the orders he had received back to Naval Headquarters.

At this time, Netanya, who had not yet received the World Government's order to dismiss her from her position as Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, summoned Garp, Zephyr, and Sengoku, who were currently considered to be among the highest-ranking combatants in the Marine Headquarters, to her office.

These three can be considered some of the most powerful marines in their naval headquarters.

As for other forces, the marines who are only ranked around the vice admiral level are not even qualified to attend this meeting.

The Rocks Pirates are no joke; any vice admiral-level marine who tries to get involved will only be chopped into pieces like a rotten cucumber.

Rather than letting them hold us back, it would be more practical to send elite marines to support Konggu.

"The Five Elders have given orders that two young pirates who have awakened all three types of Haki and stolen the Celestial Star, causing extremely negative consequences, are trying to join the Rocks Pirates. The government has now ordered our Navy to organize personnel to stop those two villains!"

"This mission involves the esteemed Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, so I hope everyone will take it seriously and absolutely not allow any failures!"

Netanya pressed her hand against the gaping wound on her chest and spoke heavily to the people in front of her.

The three people in front of him were all powerful enough to fight against the Rocks Pirates' executives, but none of them were suitable for this mission.

Although Garp's Armament Haki is exceptionally well-developed, he has never shown any respect for the World Nobles. He even subtly feigned an attempt to beat up the Celestial Dragons.

As for Zephyr and Sengoku...

One of them had just stepped down from the previous Marine Headquarters Admiral and successfully promoted to the highest combat power, but did not yet have stable combat experience in fighting against great pirates.

Another candidate for general in the Warring States period was more of a strategist.

"He even dares to steal gold from the sky! A young man like this should join our Marine Headquarters. With proper training, he could definitely become a new generation of Marine Admirals!"

Zefa picked up the printed intelligence newspaper in front of him and examined the wanted poster photo on it repeatedly, muttering to himself.

At this moment, Zephyr still firmly believed in the justice of the Marine Headquarters.

Even though there was some extreme darkness within the World Government that made him very uncomfortable, he had no choice but to act in his pursuit of justice.

"Pfft, hahaha, what does this celestial gold have to do with the Celestial Dragons? If it were Roger causing trouble, I'd be the one to handle it!"

Garp, who had never been interested in the Celestial Dragons, curled his lip, then turned around and pulled out a brand new bag of senbei biscuits from his pocket, which he then began to chew on.

Marshal Netanya could only sigh helplessly. He was willing to curse that bastard Karp.

However, his domineering presence was no match for Garp's. That guy was a complete troublemaker in the Marine Headquarters and never obeyed his orders.

"Never mind that guy. You two choose who will go and support Kong Gu."

"There are three Celestial Dragons present at Devil's Island. If anything happens to them, our Marine Headquarters' military spending for the second half of the year will be in serious trouble."

Netanya looked at Zephyr and Sengoku, who were still sitting in the conference room.

"Marshal, these two pirates seem to have somewhat different identities. Intelligence indicates they don't appear to harbor any ill will towards our Marine Headquarters."

After calmly reviewing all the information about Rahu and Kaido in his hand, Sengoku glanced meaningfully at Netanya.

According to internal naval intelligence, after Rahu and Kaido stole the Celestial Pledge from the World Government, they did not attack the escorting naval warships. Instead, they allowed the soldiers on board to return to Marine Headquarters.

The reason these two went to Devil's Island to find the Celestial Dragons was entirely due to the huge gap between them and the World Government.

According to the intelligence, Rahu was originally just an ordinary fishing family who toiled at sea every day, but their family was destroyed and their lives were lost because of the arrival of the Celestial Dragons.

Furthermore, the Celestial Dragons of Island Entertainment were bastards who indiscriminately shot civilians at that time, causing extremely negative consequences.

Kaido's true identity is that of an outstanding hero soldier within a country. He fought on the front lines for his country, but was betrayed by the king's selfishness and forced to become a pirate.

Under normal circumstances, such a person does not pose a significant threat to naval justice.

However, if their Marine Headquarters were to launch a large-scale crackdown on them because of the Celestial Dragons, it would inevitably lead the two down an extreme path.

Even if Rahu and Kaido were to ruthlessly kill the Marines, they would have no grounds to criticize them.

After all, it was all their own fault. They were just being kind by letting the lower-ranking naval soldiers off the hook.

And yet these high-ranking officials are ordered by the World Government to attack others. Isn't that ingratitude?

"Let's ignore that for now. Putting aside the facts, they are, after all, pirates who stole the Celestial Tribute. As righteous marines, we must go and take it back."

Marshal Netanya, seeing Sengoku and Zephyr hesitating, gave them no time to hesitate before leaving the meeting room.

Just then, Garp, who hadn't participated until now, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you two are such idiots! Is this how you handle orders you don't want to carry out...?"

After listening to Garp's advice, Zephyr and Sengoku looked at each other in bewilderment, as if a whole new world had been opened up for them.

"A fake...a fake fight?!"

"This thing can even be faked!"

.......

Garp's general expression

Chapter 15 Naval Wanted Poster

As the secret plot in the Navy Headquarters conference room came to an end, Rahu, who was still floating on the Grand Line, also received a letter delivered by albatrosses flying all over the sky.

In this era, Morgans, the mad private newspaper editor, had not yet been born, and Newsbird had naturally not yet appeared.

Therefore, most of the information in the world is currently edited and written by organizations under the World Government.

Given the interests between governments, the veracity of these current affairs news reports is a matter that deserves serious scrutiny.

"Oh ho ho ho, 100,000, 1 million, 10 million... 100 million! I, Kaido, am finally a man with a bounty of 100 million Berries! Hahahahahaha!"

"So, it really is the only way to quickly accumulate bounties and become a world-renowned pirate by targeting those damned Celestial Dragons?"

On the warship transporting the Heavenly Gold, Kaido, while operating the ship, clutched his own bounty poster and let out a wild laugh.

Although he was once a heroic soldier, after being betrayed by his country, he became obsessed with improving his strength and obtaining a larger bounty to increase his fame.

The reason he did this was because Kaido himself had a crazy plan in his heart.

He wanted to build a giant pirate crew composed entirely of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users.

He intends to use his pirate crew to instigate a world-class chaotic war.

Not for any other reason than to avenge the painful experiences of being forced to have my blood and marrow extracted in the government's laboratory!

Meanwhile, in contrast to Kaido's excitement, on the other side, on the island of Hatchinos, a group of fierce-looking pirates stared in shock at the brand-new bounty poster in their hands.

"I never expected that besides our Rocks Pirates, there would be such powerful new generation pirates! They even dare to steal the World Government's Heavenly Tribute; they're really asking for trouble!"

"Is this for real? A rookie pirate has a bounty of 118 million Berries on his first try? If I remember correctly, this bounty should belong to a pirate who has only been at sea for a short time, right?"

"Nothing is impossible. Didn't Admiral Shiki say that this sea has never lacked geniuses? Back when Admiral Shiki was only eight years old, he activated Conqueror's Haki in an unprecedented way. This newcomer may have some talent, but compared to the officers of our Rocks Pirates, he's just average."

"If I could also steal a celestial gold transport ship, maybe I could become a low-ranking officer in the Rocks Pirates' side crew~"

"Stop talking nonsense! People steal the Heavenly Gold because they have the strength to do so. What do you have? If a little Karami like you tried to steal the Heavenly Gold, those CP members would just pull your intestines out of the pit with one hand and shove them back into your mouth!"
