One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

Many people cheered and applauded the actions of the World Government.

On a small island in the New World.

"Brother Kahn!"

Abel roared, "The World Government is warning us! They say there are five kings, so there must be five kings! They didn't attack Roger, they didn't attack the pirate alliance that's most likely to become the next Rocks Pirates, but they attacked Shiki! Those damned bastards!!!"

"..."

The members were furious; they weren't fools.

Kahn also understood why the World Government secretly promoted the Six Kings' formation, so that with the recognition of the entire sea, the six top pirates would reach the top and become the universally acknowledged Six Kings.

However, when the World Government was broadcasting live across the entire ocean in the Hive Sea, they said they recognized the Five Kings and Seven Warlords system.

There is no sixth king.

By playing word games and targeting Shiki, they are proving that their World Government is an existence that cannot be refused or resisted.

This was not a plan that came up on the spur of the moment.

This was a premeditated plot by the world government, a conspiracy against them, or rather, they wanted to tame them like dogs and force them to acknowledge them.

He personally contributed everything he owned—the Sea Train, the Sea Stone Processing, Wano Country, the Drum Kingdom—to become one of them.

A bunch of damn bastards!

It truly lives up to its reputation as a being that has ruled the seas for over seven hundred years.

They are arrogant.

But it wasn't overly foolish.

Kahn wondered if he had underestimated his opponent. The opponent's behavior back then was completely different from his current behavior. Could it be that someone was giving him pointers behind the scenes?

Perhaps he's overthinking it.

The most perplexing question is: how was Skeeter captured?!

Morgans.

Kahn removed the small card from his thigh, dialed a special phone line, and after the call connected, asked, "Tell me what you know. Besides Shiki's capture, what other major events have happened recently? Or what are the latest developments of the World Government?"

"Kahn."

Morgans's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "You're right, there are indeed other major events happening, war is about to break out!"

Chapter 282 Pirate Alliance Operation

The headquarters of the pirate alliance.

"Chirp~ Hehehe!"

A gigantic man, nearly seven meters tall when standing, with bizarre features, lay on the sofa and chuckled eerily, "The Golden Lion has been captured, and the remnants of the Rocks' forces have been weakened. It's the perfect time for us to rise up! Let's wage war!"

"Moria, what are you talking about! The remnants of the Rocks aren't just 'Golden Lion' Shiki alone. If it weren't for maintaining stability, the Rocks remnants united, and we wouldn't be a match for them!"

"A cadre who had challenged Mihawk and survived defeat, wielding a blood-stained blade, retorted."

Light is the new world.

The pirate alliance must simultaneously contend with both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Whole Cake Island Pirates.

They barely managed to hold on.

After all, the pirate alliance isn't united.

If it weren't for Ryder's involvement, the pirate alliance would have been even more fragmented.

For the strong.

Everyone will respect them.

All the most renowned pirates in the One Piece Alliance have lost to Ryder and experienced the power of the world's top pirate.

The three major powers divided up the new world.

To achieve a balance.

If this balance could be maintained for many years without being broken, that's what Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin must have thought, which is why they didn't let Shiki participate in the struggle for supremacy in the New World.

There are smart people in the pirate alliance.

Despite their seemingly being the strongest pirate alliance, they face numerous difficulties and are easily vulnerable to fatal blows, as evidenced by the fates of the previous strongest pirate groups, the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates.

They can't act impulsively.

Many pirates enjoy the fame and status that comes with being part of a pirate alliance.

Moreover, the situation at sea is unclear.

Many members of the pirate alliance were somewhat worried.

"That's really boring!"

Moria's aura was exceptionally powerful; just by lying there, he exerted immense pressure on the ordinary pirate alliance officers around him.

Within the pirate alliance.

Moria is widely recognized as a great pirate with extraordinary charisma.

Originally, he was destined to suffer a crushing defeat in Wano Country against Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, and fled in disarray, leaving the New World behind and returning to Paradise, the first half of the Grand Line.

He was devastated by the loss of all his comrades in this battle and began to believe that "it is because we are alive that we lose," so he chose to create a large army of zombies.

The muscular, strong man gradually turned into a fat, pot-bellied slacker.

Physical skills have declined significantly.

During this period, Moria possessed immense courage and conviction, and compared to others, he seemed to quite like the pirate alliance and its atmosphere.

There were no signs of stitches on his body.

Kahn had guessed that the stitched mark was left by Kaido. Moria, who was seriously injured, was almost cut in two by Kaido. He met one of his subordinate doctors, who used his superb medical skills to stitch him up, and he survived from the brink of death.

The various executives of the pirate alliance discussed the potential impact of the Shiki incident and what their alliance should do next.

Mihawk did not comment.

I sat quietly on the other sofa and watched them argue.

Not long ago.

He challenged Ryder but was defeated, realizing that Ryder was a stronger opponent than he could defeat. He joined the pirate alliance to become stronger and didn't want to get entangled in a lot of trouble.

For example, facing Charlotte Linlin's pursuit alone, or the remnants of the Rocks gang.

We've offended everyone in the Beehive Sea area.

Mihawk is very confident in himself.

But confidence doesn't mean arrogance. He didn't want to perish halfway through his journey, and the pirate alliance was a good place to settle down.

"Goo~ Hahaha!"

Just then, Crocodile ran over, his face beaming with excitement, and exclaimed, "Things are about to get interesting! Something big is about to happen on the sea! All-out war is about to break out!!!"

"..."

Inside the lobby.

The various executives of the Pirate Alliance cheered.

Most of them were restless individuals who chose to join the pirate alliance in order to resist the remnants of Rocks' crew.

But now something interesting seems to be happening.

"Chirp~ Hehehe! War means death! I love dead people!!!"

Moriah cares about his companions.

But he doesn't care about other people's lives; at most, he won't attack the weak or insignificant people.

This is also the consensus of most powerful pirates.

When you're powerful enough, who would bow down to the weak?

They wouldn't deliberately slaughter the weak.

Crocodile.

Mihawk looked at the group of pirates who had gone mad, pulled down his black top hat adorned with white fur, and asked, "What do you mean by all-out war? Do you mean the remnants of the Rocks are going to attack us? Or do you mean the remnants of the Rocks are going to wage war against the World Government and the Marine Headquarters?"

"Goo~ Hahaha!"

Crocodile had never seen Mihawk talk so much before, and he replied with a smile, "Neither. The World Government is going to wage a full-scale war against the Revolutionary Army and the Salvation Army."

"what?!"

Mihawk was a little surprised.

Crocodile's certainty indicates that it is indeed true.

He didn't understand why the Revolutionary Army and the Salvation Army wanted to fight a decisive battle against the World Government.

He couldn't understand why the World Government was doing this. What was the point of arresting Shiki under these circumstances? Weren't they afraid that Kahn and the other Rocks remnants would stab them in the back?

Mihawk became very interested, patted the empty seat next to him, and gestured for Crocodile to come and sit down.

Very few people dare to sit in this spot.

Mihawk's aura was too sharp and overt.

Crocodile understood Mihawk's meaning.

He plopped down on it.

The two of them filled most of the sofa.

the other side.

"Something interesting."

Looking at the message sent to him by the Five Elders of the World Government, Ryder smiled wickedly and asked, "Lena, what do you think?"

"..."
