The most courageous pirate hunter

"It's been many years, I don't know if it will still work, but let's give it a try!"

"If we can contact Rayleigh, we should be able to contact the rest of the Roger Pirates as well. I don't believe they didn't leave their contact information after they disbanded."

Whitebeard recited a Den Den Mushi number and gestured for Marco to make the call.

Almost an hour later.

The message I received was that the call couldn't get through.

That Den Den Mushi number is dead.

"Dad, it's been so long, the Den Den Mushi from back then must be dead by now. There's no hope for the Roger Pirates!"

"There is another way."

Whitebeard frowned, then remembered another way to contact Rayleigh.

"Shoki was once the queen and captain of Amazon Lily. Rayleigh must be with Shoki. The news reports a few times recently indicated that the Hunter King attacked Rayleigh and Shoki in the Sabaody Archipelago. If I remember correctly, isn't there an Amazon Lily queen among the Seven Warlords of the Sea named Boa Hancock?"

"Yes, I heard she's the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Marco, try to find them within ten days. If you can contact Shokichi, you can contact Rayleigh, and eventually the other members of Roger's crew."

"clear."

this moment.

Whitebeard's logic is very clear, and his intelligence is obviously on point.

She went to great lengths to rescue her beloved son. In the past, if she had encountered trouble, it would have been a matter of a few punches and stabs. She would never have given in to old age like she does now.

People really do need to be pushed a little.

Chapter 279 [The Navy's Trump Card]

"Boss, why are you cooperating with the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"That old man lived in the same era as the Warring States period. Could he also be a cunning and untrustworthy scoundrel?"

On the Death Ship.

As the Den Den Mushi hung up, Hody Jones and the others were somewhat puzzled.

It feels like Hermes is tying his own hands. If he doesn't agree to Whitebeard's demands, they could have used the Power Rock in the war, regardless of whether it could kill anyone, and just indiscriminately blast them.

Alternatively, they could unleash some long-range attacks, then run away.

The initiative is entirely in their hands. Even if they can't inflict much damage on the navy, they can still annoy them to death.

Now that they've agreed to rescue Portgas D. Ace from Whitebeard, and the boss even boasted that it would be 100% successful, it undoubtedly adds another layer of danger. They're really playing with fire.

It feels like a thankless task.

The boss is usually very smart and has a good IQ, so how come his brain suddenly went completely mad?

"It doesn't matter, it's all just incidental!"

"Whether I agree or not, whether or not I have a white beard doesn't matter. I already have a plan!"

Hermes was confident of victory.

Since he was going to cause trouble anyway, it made no difference whether he did more or less work. Whether he succeeded or failed wouldn't affect him, so he might as well agree to Whitebeard's request.

"Fine!"

No one asked any further questions.

As long as Hermes is confirmed to be of sound mind, then they'll be fine.

The Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates should be the ones having a headache.

"By the way, how's Caesar and the other two's research on the little boy going? If they can succeed in their research before the war, or even mass-produce it, then we can fight whomever we want, and the whole world will have to watch our backs."

Hermes had a wonderful imagination.

It's as if I can already see Marineford blown to smithereens, Sengoku Garp and those old fogies dancing in the fireworks, and then I take them all down in one fell swoop—a scene of perfect perfection, flowing smoothly and effortlessly.

"Boss, don't even think about it. It's impossible to meet your requirements in a short time."

Guyram poured cold water on the idea.

How could they possibly develop a bomb comparable to Power Rock in such a short time?

"Then we'll just have to keep a low profile."

Hermes sighed.

It could have been quite crazy.

Time passes day by day.

With only two days left until the execution, the situation on the high seas became increasingly tense and oppressive, but people all over the world had become accustomed to this feeling of uncertainty.

Somewhat numb.

Somewhat calm.

It was just a war between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors. Even if it broke through the heavens, it wouldn't be as exciting as the Great Rise of the Sea, the Hunter King's solo kill of the Red-Haired Pirates, the destruction of Impel Down, or Marineford.

Only those with an informational advantage and the ability to brainstorm effectively would understand that this war is definitely not just a matter between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates.

Let's unravel the mystery step by step.

Many old monsters or factions may appear, or even take advantage of the chaos.

In a word: chaos.

Malinvando.

Everything is in full swing, a tight net has been cast, all that's needed is a favorable wind.

However, the marshal's office is a little different today because several important figures have come to the holy land, and Sengoku needs to personally receive them. These are the foreign aids that Sengoku invited at the beginning.

"Lord Five Old Stars."

"Marshal Kong".

Looking at the three people sitting on the sofa, Sengoku's eyes were full of respect.

Kuzan truly did not expect that the Warring States would invite two of the Five Elders and the Sky Marshal to oversee the situation. With these three super-powerful figures, even the forces of the two Four Emperors would have to stay.

"Everyone, sit down!"

Wearing a black suit, with white curly hair, a bushy white beard, a flat cap, and a scar on his left cheek, the Fifth Elder, Jaigolusia Satan, leaned on his cane, indicating that Chaton and the others did not need to be reserved.

Sitting next to Saint Satan was one of the Five Elders, dressed in a white robe, wearing glasses, and bald, holding a samurai sword, which was said to be a Supreme Grade Sword.

Finally, there's the former Fleet Admiral and current Commander-in-Chief, Steelbone Sky, who remains as strong as ever, with a broad chest and tanned skin. Just sitting there, you know he's not someone to mess with.

hard to imagine.

For a mere Yonko, they actually mobilized two of the Five Elders and a commander-in-chief of the entire army. This shows they have to be absolutely certain and not allow any mistakes.

"Yes!"

In response to the words of the Five Elders, Chaton and the others sat down respectfully.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and with Sengoku's permission, two figures walked in.

"Greetings, Five Elders, Marshal Kong."

Gion was still as beautiful and charming as ever. The reason she wasn't there just now was because he went to pick up someone, a top-tier fighter, equivalent to a general.

"The Five Elders, Marshal Kong, Marshal Sengoku!"

Magellan, following behind Gion, gave a solemn military salute.

That's right.

Sengoku also moved Magellan out of the new Impel Down. He originally planned to have Zephyr replace Borsalino, but after thinking about it, he decided to have Zephyr and Garp together, fearing that Garp might lose his mind.

Now that Borsalino is unable to fight, we need to find a replacement, and Magellan is undoubtedly the most suitable, as he can play a decisive role in terms of both combat strength and the Venom-Venom Fruit.

"Director Magellan."

The two elders, Sora, and Sengoku all nodded in succession. Then Sengoku gestured for Magellan to sit down and discuss matters together. However, due to Magellan's special status, he was wearing a special outfit this time.

She wrapped herself up almost from head to toe.

Otherwise, the toxins produced during respiration are difficult to deal with.

"Sengoku, if you bring Magellan out, is the new Impel Down safe?"

Sora didn't expect Sengoku to bring Magellan over. It seems Sengoku is going all out in this war. But it's good to be cautious, since it concerns the future of the navy and the stability of the world government.

"Flying Admiral, Impel Down is currently holding only low-level criminals who can be easily dealt with. The Deputy Warden can manage them. It's a waste of Magellan's talents to keep him in Impel Down. This war is very important for the Navy, and I must win."

The Warring States period is a source of great anger.

If it weren't for that bastard Jormungandr blowing up Impel Down, causing all those old monsters to escape, he wouldn't have been able to bring out Magellan. The key point is that Impel Down now only holds a handful of big and small cats.

Even if something else goes wrong, it doesn't matter, so it's better to bring out Magellan's full potential.
