Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Rocks ruffled Nami's hair: "Alright, there are still many things to take care of on the island. There's no time for romance now. I also need to prepare for the Great Demon's 'attack'..."

There's been a lot going on lately.

Wang Zhihai was destroyed and Beehive Island changed hands.

He has a lot to deal with.

Meanwhile, the Great Demon's "attack" is also approaching, and Rocks needs to be fully prepared!

……

Navy Headquarters.

A high-level meeting is underway.

The room was filled with solemn and serious expressions, the atmosphere extremely oppressive...

"You are all aware of what has happened recently."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, seated at the head of the table, rubbed his temples. Behind him, on a whiteboard, was a summary of events that had occurred over the past month.

He looked around at everyone present and said, "Then let's hear your opinions, and how to handle these matters. What are your thoughts and opinions?"

Recently, my hair has turned a bit white.

There are so many things that need his attention as the marshal, he can't even remember the last time he had a proper rest.

Being a marshal is a really tiring job!

"..."

The place was completely silent.

Ten seconds later, Lieutenant General He Youyou, who was on the left, said, "I have some information I just got that I need to talk about."

After a pause of one second, Vice Admiral Tsuru explained: "During the Beehive Island incident, the Navy's spies discovered a piece of intelligence."

"Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has made his move on Beehive Island and has made contact with Blackwing Daima... "

"Judging from their relationship, there is a very high probability that the other party has joined the Blackwing Demon Lord's Pirates..."

Another Shichibukai has joined the Blackwing Lair, which is not something to be ignored.

Lieutenant General Tsuru felt it necessary to share the intelligence he had just received.

"What did you say?"

Sengoku reacted strongly, staring wide-eyed at Vice Admiral Tsuru: "Even Jinbe has joined the Black Winged Demon Lord's guild!?"

"..."

The others were also taken aback.

The fish-man "Sea Hero" Jinbe's strength is evident to all in the sea.

They even chose to join the Blackwing Demon King.

With this assistance, the threat posed by the Blackwing Demon King has increased even further...

Most importantly—it's another Shichibukai!

The Navy hasn't even discussed the possibility of "Thousand-Ryade Transformation" Bucky and "Golden Lion" Shiki teaming up to capture Impel Down yet...

As a result, yet another Shichibukai "got into trouble"?

Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded and said, "The specific reason is unknown, but the information should be correct. The Blackwing Demon Lord Haiji once landed on Fishman Island..."

Sengoku felt a headache coming on and was exhausted: "Black Winged Demon... could that guy really be some kind of 'nemesis of the Seven Warlords'?"

Garp, unusually, didn't drink tea or eat snacks during the meeting. Instead, he looked serious and said, "That kid's getting more and more popular."

"They've only been in the new world for a short time, and they've already caused such a huge commotion..."

"Now that they've even taken over Beehive Island, will that scene from before really happen again?"

That scene from the past...

This naturally refers to the matter of Loxley & Co.

Roger, though a Heracles, was larger than Locke D. Gibbs.

However, in terms of strength and influence alone, Roger's World Trade Center is inferior to Rocks World Trade Center.

Rocks, Beehive Island...

This scene feels so familiar!

"If it were the old Rocks D. Gibbek, it wouldn't be so bad, but the current Duke Rocks is truly terrifying."

Kizaru pouted and said, "At eighteen, he stood at the pinnacle of the ocean, and every word and action of his could shake the world. Have you ever seen such a monster before?"

"And there's also a rumor about the Blackwing Demon that he hasn't yet awakened the Devil Fruit..."

Is this rumor reliable?

It still has some credibility.

After all, the photos of the Blackwing Demon "going berserk" had already reached the knowledge of the Navy's high command...

The "rampaging" Blackwing Demon is what an awakened Zoan-type Mythical Beast looks like!

The previous "changes" were merely a "simulation"?

Thinking about it this way... one can only imagine how terrifying the Blackwing Demon is!

The other person is only eighteen years old!

Akainu, who had already recovered from his injuries, spoke, his eyes filled with coldness and killing intent: "Now that the other side has its own lair, we have their exact location."

"This makes it easy for us to launch a full-scale attack. Even if the enemy is the 'Emperor of the Sea,' they will absolutely not be able to withstand our naval offensive!"

With the full force of the navy, surely we can't annihilate the Blackwing Demon Sealord?

Akainu was also deeply aware of the threat posed by the Blackwing Demon.

No matter the cost, this threat must be eliminated!

Aokiji objected: "We simply cannot send too many troops to the New World. If we make too big a move, do you think the other 'Sea Emperors' will choose to ignore us?"

"Back on Broken Mountain Island, Blackwing Demon Lord Haiji F had contact with Whitebeard Haiji F and Red-Haired Haiji F, and no conflict broke out among the three parties... On the contrary, they seemed to have a very harmonious relationship!"

"We have to take this into consideration!"

The Navy did not take action regarding the "kendo dispute" on Duanshan Island.

But there were also spies who went to gather intelligence.

The Navy is already aware that Blackwing Daemon has had contact with Whitebeard Daemon and Red-Haired Daemon...

What kind of relationship do these three parties have?

This needs to be taken seriously and we need to be vigilant!

Akainu snorted coldly: "Are we just going to let this go? The threat from the Black Winged Demon King has reached a point where we have no choice but to deal with it. If we let him develop his Devil Fruit to awaken..."

As someone who personally experienced the Dressrosa incident, Akainu had no choice but to admit it.

The Blackwing Demon was incredibly powerful when it went berserk; I probably wouldn't be a match for it!

Eliminating the opponent while they are still unable to freely flatter and lack strength is undoubtedly the best choice.

Otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable!

Upon hearing this, Aokiji fell silent: "..."

Although it clashes somewhat with Akainu's ideals, what Akainu said... is damn reasonable!

The guy who once had to fight tooth and nail to hurt him has now grown to the point where he feels both fear and pressure...

The other person's growth rate is too fast, and their talent and potential are too amazing!

"..."

Akainu raised an eyebrow when he saw that Aokiji did not refute him.

Then, turning his gaze to Sengoku, he said earnestly, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I propose that the entire navy launch a full-scale attack on Beehive Island and annihilate the Blackwing Demon Lord in one fell swoop!"

"..."

The arena fell silent once again because of Akainu's suggestion...

Chapter 259 The Era About to Go Wild! The Time for the Navy to March into the New World!

"No, the risk is too great."

After thinking for a moment, Sengoku shook his head and rejected Akainu's suggestion: "As Aokiji said, the relationship between Red-Haired Shanks, Whitebeard, and Blackwing Daedalus is somewhat unclear."

"If we take action against the Blackwing Demon Lord before we've figured out their relationship, it could very well lead to a conflict between us and the three 'Sea Emperors'..."

"The Navy doesn't have the resources to fight those three forces either!"

"Furthermore, Beasts of the Caribbean F and Grandma's Caribbean F might not stand idly by and watch us march into the New World; the risks are too great!"

"Most importantly, we are in the first half of the battle, and it takes time to prepare our forces. We cannot keep our movements hidden."

"How can we guarantee that the Blackwing Demon Lord Hairen F won't leave Hive Island?"

For these reasons, Sengoku felt that the possibility of a large-scale attack on Beehive Island and the annihilation of the Blackwing Demon Lord was not high...

The Blackwing Demon Lord has the idea of ​​occupying Hive Island, but it's not impossible for him to evacuate from Hive Island.

Hive Island is just ruins now; there's nothing that can't be given up...

"..."

Upon hearing this, Akainu opened his mouth but then remained silent.

Although he is a bit ruthless and decisive, it doesn't mean he's brainless...

Other sea emperors have been operating their bases for many years and have many things they cannot take away, but how long has the Blackwing Demon Lord occupied Beehive Island?

Leaving directly is not impossible.

The probability of a large-scale naval attack failing is greater.

"The matter of the Blackwing Demon will be put on hold for now..."

Sengoku let out a breath and changed the subject: "Let's talk about the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Golden Lion!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru took a sip of tea and calmly said, "The original intention of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system was to maintain the stability of the seas, but with the appearance of Blackwing Daima, this balance has been broken time and again..."

"Now he has also subdued 'Shadow Mage' Gecko Moria and 'One Piece' Jinbe."

"Furthermore, due to the heinous acts committed by some of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are no longer respected by the people; they are practically defunct..."

What are some of the heinous things that the Seven Warlords of the Sea have done?

Crocodile Crocodile secretly ordered the retreat of the "16th Five-Year Plan" (a reference to a specific group of crocodiles).

Doflamingo, the "Heavenly Demon," reigns supreme in Dressrosa...

"Thousand Taels of Transformation" - Pakistani invasion pushes into the city...

"Shadow Mage" Gecko Moria and "One Piece" Jinbe join the Blackwing Demon Lord, The Great Demon Lord...

Hawkeye Mihawk and the Emperors of the Sea have dealings with each other...

Is this what the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who maintain the balance and stability of the seas, should do?

Can the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea still be trusted?

"It's a dead body in name only..."

Sengoku rubbed his temples.

As a marshal, he was naturally aware of everything that had happened...

"Although the rumors about abolishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea started circulating among the common people, the voices were quite loud, and even the World Government could not ignore them."

Sengoku said in a deep voice, "This system may be abolished. If the Seven Warlords of the Sea system is abolished, those Seven Warlords of the Sea will inevitably be reclassified as 'criminals'!"

"We need to consider how to deal with these people in advance!"

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are legal seamen, and there is no way to arrest them.

However, with the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, those individuals will once again become "criminals," and the Navy has both the obligation and the responsibility to arrest them...
