One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

Upon hearing what Sengoku said, Sith immediately pictured an island filled with bubbles.

Even in a world full of all sorts of strange islands, the Sabaody Archipelago is an extremely unique place.

The entire island is actually composed of the world's largest mangrove tree, the Yarchiman mangrove. The roots of the giant tree extend to form 79 islands, each with its own town or facilities.

But compared to its unique natural scenery, the Sabaody Archipelago is most famous for another attribute—

Shopping paradise!

Whether it's gold and silver treasures, fine weapons, slaves of rare races, or all sorts of shady goods, as long as you have money, you can buy them all there.

No wonder Sengoku said it was a relaxing mission and even encouraged him to bring his family along. It's a resort destination that many naval officers dream of going on a business trip there.

Of course, the premise is that you don't run into a Celestial Dragon, or some old guy who likes to pretend to be a slave and sell himself out to make money.

"Thank you, Marshal Sengoku!"

Sith knew that Sengoku was showing him extra kindness, and after sincerely thanking him, he asked:

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, so what is your mission?"

Instead of answering him immediately, Zhan Guo said:

"Do you know Boa Hancock of the Kuja Pirates?"

Sith was taken aback, thinking to himself that of course he knew, having read countless erotic novels of the empress in his past life, he was intimately familiar with them.

Judging by the timeline, the current Empress should only be 18 years old, having only recently become the leader of the Kuja Pirates.

He certainly wouldn't admit to knowing this notorious pirate well, so he feigned recollection and nodded after a moment:

"I've probably heard of it."

"Boa Hancock, Empress of the Amazon Lily Kingdom in the New World, Captain of the Kuja Pirates. Her past is unknown, but she has performed outstandingly in recent years, eliminating several pirate groups in the New World. It is said that she also has two younger sisters."

These are all publicly available intelligence sources within the Navy.

Warring States nodded and praised:

"Not bad, looks like you haven't forgotten your studies!"

He tore open a packet of rice crackers and said with a serious expression:

"We recently received intelligence that Boa Hancock is leading her pirate crew to the Sabaody Archipelago, but her purpose is unknown."

"So my task for you is to go to Chambord, make contact with her, and find out exactly what she's up to!"

Sith understood immediately; so that's how it was.

It is now the year 1528 of the Sea Calendar. He remembers that Hancock did indeed lead her pirate crew on an expedition at this time, did something and succeeded, and was eventually selected by the Navy to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

If nothing unexpected happens, Hancock's trip to the Sabaody Archipelago will coincide with the time when that incident occurred!

Sith didn't know exactly what it was, but he guessed it was probably related to Hancock's experience.

When Hancock was captured and enslaved by the Celestial Dragons, she was still young. She escaped during Fisher Tiger's raid on Mary Geoise. After becoming Empress, she strictly guarded against others seeing the hoofprint of the Sky Dragon on her back. Apart from her two younger sisters, no one else knew about this past.

She came here this time, most likely for some personal matters.

No wonder Sengoku was so nervous. A great pirate from the New World suddenly appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago. What if he was here to cause trouble?

"Marshal of the Warring States, I understand. Leave this matter to me."

Sith smiled confidently.

Warring States raised an eyebrow and asked:

"Aren't you curious why I didn't just have someone capture that girl directly? Or why I simply forbade her from entering the Sabaody Archipelago?"

Sith shook his head:

"You're not Vice Admiral Garp; you wouldn't do something so reckless."

"Hancock is not currently at odds with the Navy. Taking action against her rashly will only create another powerful enemy for the Navy."

"Besides, she's not the only pirate in the Sabaody Archipelago. If the Navy's actions cause a major disaster, the Celestial Dragons and nobles on the island will be cursing us out."

Sengoku nodded with great satisfaction upon hearing Sith's analysis.

This kid has the makings of a marshal!

More importantly, Sith also criticized Garp, giving him a boost, which Sengoku appreciated!

"You're right. According to the intelligence department's analysis, Hancock is most likely going to do some private business and won't cause any major trouble."

"But if she really dares to cause trouble, with your abilities, I believe dealing with them won't be a problem!"

Sengoku then went on to explain some important points about the mission in detail, and continued:

"By the way, A-He rescued a kid on Minion Island. He's pretty good. I'm planning to send him to Zephyr's elite class for some training."

"Tell Zefa later that I won't be looking for him specifically."

Sith immediately agreed, then suddenly thought of something:

"Marshal Sengoku, that guy's name is Drake, right? I saw him on the ship when I came back."

Warring States nodded:

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence that Drake is actually the son of Dias Barreus."

"Heh, the son of a naval traitor has turned around and joined the navy himself. Perhaps it's fate."

Sith remembered that Dies Barreus was the traitorous Marine Rear Admiral who obtained the Op-Op Fruit, but was intercepted by Rosinante halfway and eventually killed by Doflamingo. Drake, who had been abused by him since childhood, also escaped in the chaos.

At the time, Rosinante deceived Dover, saying that Rosinante had been rescued by a naval ship. Unexpectedly, Dover's men overheard the naval phone call and discovered that a boy had indeed been rescued, mistakenly believing it to be Rosinante.

That was actually Drake!

Because of that coincidence, Drake joined the Navy, later became an elite undercover agent infiltrating the Beasts Pirates, and even became one of the Flying Six. Law, on the other hand, escaped successfully and became a great pirate.

That's what makes fate so interesting.

Sengoku looked at Sith seriously for the last time, frowning as he said:

"Siss, you must have noticed when you returned to headquarters that everyone is very tense."

"Based on the intelligence we have so far, Whitebeard and Kaido are very likely to go to war. It would be best if they both suffered heavy losses, but if this war makes one side stronger, that is something we absolutely cannot allow to happen."

"This period is going to be tough, and we old folks will have to rely on you guys a lot!"

During the Warring States period, he spoke his heart.

Not long ago, the Navy learned that Whitebeard had heard about Kozuki Oden being secretly murdered by Kaido many years ago. As a result, the Whitebeard Pirates immediately began preparations for war, intending to take revenge.

Sith had also heard Lieutenant General Crane mention this before, and was not surprised.

When Ace wanted to go to Wano Country to avenge Oden, Marco stopped him, saying that Whitebeard already knew about Oden's death. Unfortunately, Wano Country was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they had prepared several times but chose to give up each time.

But he didn't expect that the Whitebeard Pirates already knew the truth. He wondered if Big Mom was stirring things up to cover up their defeat in Ohara.

In short, many things have changed because of my arrival, and Whitebeard might really attack Wano Country this time!

"Marshal Sengoku, I will do my best to share your burdens, and I'm willing to go to the new world if necessary!"

He snapped to attention and saluted, radiating loyalty and devotion.

The Warring States period smiled with satisfaction:

"I'm relieved to hear that."

"There are people keeping an eye on things in the New World, so you don't need to worry about it for now. Just focus on preparing for the escort mission on the school trip."

Satan has informed the Navy that the Celestial Dragons' school trip is estimated to take place in six months, and they must take it seriously.

After chatting with Sengoku for a few more minutes, Sith took his leave.

"Time waits for no one, we need to get ready quickly."

After leaving the marshal's office, he couldn't wait to return to his dormitory at headquarters.

During his return journey, he had already used his clones to go to several Revolutionary Army banks and secretly transferred the huge sum of money given to him by Dover.

As for the "antidote" he gave Dover, it was quite simple—

Simply lying in bed for a year is sufficient.

This is obviously nonsense, but I suppose Dover would have no choice but to try it to save his life.

A year is enough time for Dover to do far fewer bad things.

Back in his room, Sith closed the door and immediately brought up the system panel.

"Unlock the last three slots!"

He silently gave the order, and three billion Berries were wiped out, with the system subsequently upgraded.
