Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

"What? Say it again!"

Inside the World Government office in Mary Geoise, a middle-aged, overweight man with blond hair and blue eyes was shocked by the message coming from the Den Den Mushi.

"Sir, it has been confirmed that the attackers were Captain Bondiworld of the Ward Pirates. They disappeared after looting the ship's treasure and fine iron."

Two hours after the major incident in Bondiwald that led to the attack on World Government ships, the belated naval branch warships found only ship debris scattered across the sea.

"Branch leader, look! There are surviving navy soldiers over there!"

Without time for a thorough investigation of the scene, Pearson Albert ordered them to quickly rescue the survivors from the icy water.

The various fragments drifting on the sea clearly show what kind of battles they went through.

Pearson Albert removed his military cap and saluted the floating corpse of the naval soldier.

"Is there anyone still awake?"

"There is one."

Albert walked over to the naval soldier who was still conscious, bent down, and asked:

"Soldiers, which branch are you from? Who is your officer?"

When the World Government official sent out the emergency message, he only had time to remember the name of the Ward Pirates; as for the rest, he wasn't very clear.

However, the navy soldiers' clothing and the wrecked warship suggested that this was not a simple matter.

We are under Brigadier General Zakri's command, and we are ordered to escort a shipment of fine iron to Mary Geoise.

"The one who attacked us was the captain of the Ward Pirates, Bondiwald."

His mind only remembered these things, due to the terrifying whirlpool at the time.

The warship disintegrated during its struggle against the whirlpool, but fortunately, the whirlpool was no longer as terrifying by then.

Even with his prior preparations, he still swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater.

Albert was even more shocked after hearing this.

He was no ordinary young man; Albert had been in the North Sea for over twenty years and naturally knew the North Sea's naval commanders inside and out.

He was well aware of how deep Zach's connections ran.

"It's over, something huge is about to happen in Beihai."

Albert looked very unwell.

For the first two-thirds of his naval career, he dedicated himself to fighting pirates and capturing criminal mafia members.

However, several years ago, after suffering a serious injury, he began to slowly withdraw from the combat ranks.

None of the stronger naval branches in the area are currently located there.

Only his branch is left!

Without a doubt, the task of capturing Bondiwald will eventually fall to him.

"Damn it! Those damned pirates! We're no match for them. Let's call Vice Admiral Borsalino."

Albert quickly took out a Den Den Mushi and called Borsalino, who was on vacation.

"Hey, Lieutenant General Borsalino, something terrible has happened."

The World Government's ships, as well as the naval vessels led by Commodore Zakri, were just annihilated by the Ward Pirates near a deserted island.

"We are currently making every effort to rescue those who fell into the water, but the Navy is almost entirely wiped out, and there are no survivors on the World Government's ships."

"Ouch, that's scary."

Borsalino, who had been comfortably sitting on the stool, enjoying the taste of hot black tea, also turned pale.

If Bondiwald had only robbed a merchant ship or a civilian vessel, Borusalino wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

However, according to the signals transmitted by Albert, there might not be enough survivors to make up ten people on either ship.

Borsalino, with a little thought, would know just how furious the World Government was.

At the very least, he knew that Zachary was part of the escort team, along with one Brigadier General from the Navy, at least three officials from the World Government, and other family and friends.

"Trouble, trouble. I need to call Raleigh back."

Borsalino hung up the phone and began searching his body for Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

It is a place very close to the Kingdom of Eryokobu.

Doflamingo was idly practicing the basics of Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

Raleigh, on the other hand, found a shady spot under a tall tree and took a good rest.

Doflamingo looked at it with great disdain.

"What are you doing? Why are you wasting your talent?"

Doflamingo couldn't understand Raleigh lying on the ground.

Raleigh rolled over, turning his back to Doflamingo, and then said:

Hard work is the only way for ordinary people to narrow the gap with geniuses, but I don't need to. Because even geniuses are merely qualified to challenge me.

Raleigh placed his right hand under his head to get a more comfortable position.

"Buddha, sometimes I really envy your attitude; I can't do it."

"Once I stop getting stronger, I feel like I'm going to be killed. To avoid having that feeling, I can only keep getting stronger." Raleigh had been resting for a long time and wasn't that sleepy now. After hearing Doflamingo's words, he turned around and said with a blade of grass in his mouth.

You have an illness, a condition called paranoia.

"Buddha's howl, Buddha's howl, Buddha's howl" is an interesting explanation. If this is an illness, then it is an illness.

Doflamingo laughed wildly, the threads in his hand whistling sharply as they sliced ​​through the air.

Anyway, ever since that year when I was hung on the city wall and almost burned to death, I swore that one day I would become strong enough that no one could control my life or death.

After hearing Doflamingo's words, Raleigh couldn't help but sit up and applaud Doflamingo.

To be honest, Doflamingo's childhood was indeed quite tragic.

A group of ignorant people pointed their guns at the wrong people, at their own side.

However, that experience had nothing to do with Doflamingo's personality.

Raleigh doesn't believe that if Doflamingo had been changed as a child, he would have become a good person as an adult.

To be frank, Doflamingo is a cold-blooded person by nature.

From the moment he killed his own father with a pistol, Pandora's box within Doflamingo's heart was opened.

You didn't want others to control your life and death, so you developed parasitic threads to control the lives of others, right?

How did you know?

Doflamingo stopped what he was doing, his back covered in cold sweat.

Parasite Threads was something he had only recently developed, and no one except himself had ever seen this move before.

Raleigh smiled but didn't say anything.

People like Doflamingo need to be given a nudge from time to time in order to make better use of them.

Occasionally showing off your omniscience and omnipotence in front of him, or occasionally flexing your muscles, are good ways to promote cooperation and communication.

Seeing the mockery on Raleigh's face, Doflamingo's expression became unpredictable and extremely ugly.

He knew the problem definitely wasn't with him.

Either Raleigh just made it up on the spot and guessed right, or there was someone in the Don Quixote family secretly observing him.

This person must be of very high status, otherwise they wouldn't have access to Doflamingo's daily life and training.

Doflamingo made up his mind that when he returned to the Donquixote Family's base, he would thoroughly investigate all the newly recruited members.

"Lord Raleigh, when can we leave this damned island?"

Doflamingo skipped over that topic and instead asked when they could leave.

He had already spent most of the day with Raleigh.

I'm waiting for a phone call. Once the call comes, we'll leave on our own.

Raleigh pointed to the Den Den Mushi lying to the side and said.

"If the Den Den Mushi rings, it means my plan has succeeded, and we should reap the rewards. But if the Den Den Mushi doesn't ring, we'll need to find another way."

Doflamingo looked at the Den Den Mushi beside him, somewhat puzzled.

By all accounts, it's just an ordinary Den Den Mushi.

Shouldn't highly confidential intelligence usually be equipped with encrypted Den Den Mushi (snail phone)?

Doflamingo couldn't understand Raleigh's actions.

Seeing Doflamingo staring intently at the Den Den Mushi, Raleigh casually pointed to the sky and said:

Don't overthink it. This message isn't as confidential as you think. I reckon it won't be more than three days before the whole of Beihai knows about it.

"Yeah?"

Just as Doflamingo was still half-believing, the Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

Brubrubru·Brubru·．

Raleigh rolled over and got up from the ground, excitedly holding the Den Den Mushi.

"Moshi, Moshi, Raleigh. We're in big trouble now. The World Destroyer Bondiwald is really too arrogant."

They actually attacked a World Government ship and killed many of our naval soldiers; even our highest-ranking officer, Commodore Zakri, was killed in the line of duty.

"Therefore, we must prove to the World Government that we will bring this great pirate, Bondiwald, to justice before the World Government questions us."

Listening to Borsalino's words on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Raleigh had no choice but to put on a pained expression.

"It's such a pity. Brigadier General Zachary is so knowledgeable, and we hit it off immediately, yet this happened to us."

"I never expected Bondiwald to be so audacious. I must put his head in front of Brigadier General Zakri's tombstone."

"In short, you'd better hurry back to the naval base. I'll notify the soldiers to assemble; we'll meet on the warship."

Borsalino hung up the phone, unable to understand how Raleigh could say such a thing.

Raleigh dusted himself off, put the Den Den Mushi in his pocket, and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the strange Doflamingo beside him.

Doflamingo seemed oblivious to the inappropriateness of his gaze, and continued to ask:

As far as I know, Zachary and you don't seem to have a good relationship. I seem to recall you two having a fight once.

Raleigh grinned widely and laughed heartily;

So what? Whether Zakri lives or dies, I'm not wrong to fight for my comrades and save face for the World Government.

"Sometimes, in politics, even the dead can be used to make a point."

After listening to Raleigh's words, Doflamingo sincerely admired Raleigh's shamelessness, but also learned a lot of new things.

"I can only say, as expected of you!"

"Let's go. We need to get Bondiwald's head as quickly as possible. Don't forget to inform the Don Quixote family."

Naval Headquarters, Marineford's office.

Navy Commander Kong looked at his capable subordinates with a frustrated expression.

Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, and the others were all somewhat bewildered.

"What exactly is that madman Bondiwald trying to do?"

The Warring States period was the first to speak.

Now is the time for the World Government to suppress the Navy, as the World Government already has grievances against the Navy.

Bondiwald's sudden move put the navy in a very passive position.

"In any case, the trouble that Bondiwald caused definitely needs to be dealt with by the Navy."

Crane then continued.

The situation in the North Sea has become uncontrollable due to the variable of Bondiwald.

Garp was munching on senbei (rice crackers) nearby.

He is now focused on capturing Roger and doesn't care at all about Bondiwald hijacking a World Government ship.

In his view, neither side was any good; it was just dogs fighting each other.

Let Borsalino handle it; he still needs to give the World Government an explanation.

He rubbed his eyebrows in the air.

With his term in office drawing to a close, Kong initially wanted to play it safe, but things kept getting out of his control, causing him a lot of trouble.

Sengoku, wearing a hat meant to look at seagulls, suddenly spoke up at that moment;

"Admiral Kong, isn't the North Blue's strength a bit insufficient? Borsalino is still just a vice admiral after all, and he's still a bit green compared to a legendary pirate like Bondiwald. I'll go there."

Actually, it would be faster for Sengoku to depart from his home base, rather than from Zefu in the East Sea.

However, out of personal considerations, Sora wanted Sengoku to take the position of Grand Master.

Although Zephyr's abilities meet the requirements, his influence within the Navy is relatively weak.

Sengoku himself is capable enough, and with the relationship between Garp and Tsuru, if he were to become the Fleet Admiral, he would be able to maintain the stability of the Navy.

Thinking of this, Kong nodded and said;

"Alright, then you can go."

Sengoku nodded, then left the marshal's office to gather the soldiers on his warship to prepare for their departure for the North Sea.

"Tsuru, what do you think the World Government's opinion will be towards us this time?"

After Sengoku left, Sora turned to Tsuru, who was standing to the side, and asked her a question.

After listening to Kong's words, He calmly thought for a while and then said!

Our navy also suffered casualties. According to Borsalino's report, Commodore Zakri, the commander of the naval escort, was also killed in the battle.

"Since we also sacrificed ourselves, the World Government can't make a big deal out of it. They can just order us to take down Bondiwald as soon as possible."

Therefore, I did not stop Sengoku. We need to resolve the Bondiwald issue as quickly as possible to gain the World Government's approval.

Kong nodded; he was very satisfied with these disciples.

After Garp and Tsuru left, Sora took out the confidential documents from the North Sea from his desk.

"Such a move doesn't belong to a simple person. Is it you, Christine Rory?"

The document in his empty hand detailed the movements of the various naval branches.

This includes why the surrounding navies did not provide timely assistance when World Government ships were in trouble.
