The gourmet among pirates

Relatively speaking, this may be the best choice at the moment.

After figuring this out, Tom no longer hesitated.

He said bluntly: "Okay, I'll go with you, but you must bring my two apprentices with you."

As if he was afraid that Barrett would disagree, Tom said quickly: "Don't worry, my two apprentices are not a burden. They are both geniuses. They will definitely surpass my genius in the future. The Smoking Tom outside is These two guys assisted me in building it. With their help, my project progress can be at least doubled."

genius?

These two brats?

Barrett was noncommittal about the word genius, but he knew that a disciple who could be recognized by Tom in this way must have extraordinary talents.

Besides, bringing one person is also bringing someone, and bringing two people is nothing more than bringing two more people. This is not difficult for Barrett.

Simply, Barrett saw this and simply agreed.

"It's just two brats. You can take them with you if you want. It doesn't matter if you want to take a few more people with you. It's just a few people. I, Barrett, can afford to take care of them."

After seeing Barrett agree, Tom felt relieved.

Then, Tom quickly woke up Espagu and Kati Frame.

Then they returned to their cabin, packed some things, and left the Seven Water Islands directly with Douglas Barrett.

Chapter 320 Struggle for Power

After packing up and saluting.

Tom brought Icebag and Katie Frame, carrying large and small bags, and followed Barrett to a desolate coast of the Water Seven Islands.

Not far from the coast, a submarine that looks like a whale is parked.

This submarine is the Catapult that Barrett spent a lot of money to build. It is filled with all kinds of weapons and iron. There was a time when it existed.

Barrett even regarded it as his only trusted partner.

Moreover, in times of crisis, Barrett can also use the fruit's ability to combine with the catapult, bursting out with extremely powerful power.

After seeing this submarine.

Behind Tom, Frame's eyes lit up, and he stared excitedly at this steel-filled warship.

Building an ironclad warship made entirely of steel is one of Fram's biggest dreams.

"Let's go! I'll take you for a ride."

Done.

Barrett grabbed Acebargo and Kati Frame, squatted slightly, and jumped up directly, crossing the sea surface of forty or fifty meters, and jumped directly onto the catapult's lifting platform.

As for the tall Tom, Barrett didn't care.

As a fishman, the sea surface of 40 to 50 meters is not a problem for Tom at all.

After arriving on the ship, Barrett put down Icebagger and Kati Flam, and then walked to the elevator in the middle of the submarine.

And in this short period of ten seconds.

The seemingly bloated fishman Tom had quickly swam across dozens of meters of sea water, climbed onto the submarine along the specially left railing on the side of the submarine.

During this process, even the huge package that Tom was lifting was not wet by the sea water.

soon.

This Yonko Barrett's exclusive car took their group of people and disappeared into the vast sea.

······························································································ ·

Shortly after Barrett and others left.

Some people in the Seven Islands of Water woke up from their coma.

······························································································ ･･･

As the unconscious people woke up, the news of what happened on Water 7 Island was soon reported back to Judicial Island and the World Government.

After hearing that George, one of the highest judges on Judicial Island, was punched into pieces by Barrett.

The five old stars in charge of the judicial system shattered the marble round table in front of him with a slap, and said with a furious look:

"You bastard, you killed the Supreme Judge of Judiciary Island in full view of the public, and then he walked away in the end. This is defying the law and provoking the authority of our world government..."

Facing their furious colleagues, the other Five Old Stars had various expressions on their faces.

There is thinking, fear, and solemnity, but there is not much anger.

After a while.

One of the Five Elders was fed up with his colleagues' clamor and said impatiently, "Okay, we are also very sad about George's death, but the dead cannot be resurrected. Even if you are angry now, you can't bring him back to life."

"Instead of being furious here, why not think about the solution to this matter... Of course, we can't just let Barrett's killing of the Supreme Court judge go."

Another five-old star heard the words and said: "Solution, what else can be done, inform the navy..."

At this moment, Elizabeth, dressed in a princess costume, knocked on the office door.

Appeared in front of Wulaoxing.

After performing an elegant ceremony to the Five Elders, Elizabeth smiled and reported to them:

"My Lords, I have called Admiral Sengoku and asked him to send Admiral Kizaru to intercept Barrett. With Kizaru's speed, as long as he can catch up with Barrett and intercept him in the first half of the Grand Line, Barrett will be alone... Hehe, maybe we can kill another Four Emperors by then and intimidate this restless sea?"

After listening to Elizabeth's words.

The five old stars, who were still looking relaxed, immediately raised their heads and looked at Elizabeth.

One of the Five Old Stars had a complicated look on his face.

I whispered softly in my heart: "Elizabeth..."

Looking at Elizabeth with a friendly smile, one of the five elders said with a cold face: "We haven't decided on the plan yet. Who asked you to make your own decision and notify the navy to pursue Barrett on our behalf? You know how to do this? What are the possible consequences...Elizabeth!"

Although even after the five old stars discussed it for a while, the conclusion they came up with was probably similar to what Elizabeth informed the navy.

But...are these things what Wulaoxing cares about?

of course not.

Compared with the solution to this matter, Wulaoxing is more concerned about the meaning behind this matter.

When did Elizabeth have the authority to issue major decisions to the navy beyond them?

Supreme power is all they really value.

From a certain perspective, Elizabeth's actions today are undoubtedly challenging the supreme authority of their Five Elder Stars and shaking their foundation of power.

······························································································ ··

Faced with the cold voice of the Five Old Stars, Elizabeth said calmly: "I'm sorry, Lord Five Old Stars, this decision was not made by me, but... Lord Im, I am just conveying this order to the navy on behalf of Im-sama.”

"Douglas Barrett, a crew member of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, once personally landed on the Final Island, and was one of Lavrud's personnel. Lord Im has always suspected that these crew members around the Pirate King are in Lavrud. I learned something, so I have always attached great importance to these people.”

"So after Douglas Barrett landed on the Seven Islands of Water and took away Fish-Man Tom, Lord Im personally intervened in the matter. After all... Fish-Man Tom, but as we know, One of the line of craftsmen who guarded the design of the ancient weapon 'Hades' for generations."

"Ravrud, the crew of the D Clan's Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and the design drawings of the ancient weapon 'Pluto'. These things came together, and Lord Im couldn't help but take them seriously, making him wonder what the D Clan found from Ravrud."

"So, after confirming the matter, Lord Im directly gave me an order to call the Navy Headquarters to find Barrett's traces as quickly as possible and kill him as much as possible in the first half of the Grand Route... ···”

As soon as Elizabeth said this, Wu Laoxing's expression changed again.

Lord Im.

This matter actually involves Lord Im.

Moreover, the several factors Elizabeth mentioned, when combined, contained implications that also shocked them.

Just now, they were all just speculating on the reason why Barrett, the Fourth Pirate Emperor, suddenly appeared in the first half of the Grand Line, and the solution.

There was also the matter of the other party killing George, the Supreme Judge of Judiciary Island, with one punch.

Subconsciously, I forgot about the shipwright Tom who was taken away by Barrett.

But at this time, after Elizabeth's reminder, they suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

After taking away most of the powerful pirates in Impel Down, the Barrett Pirates became the most powerful Yonko Pirates on the sea.

If they get the ancient weapon, Pluto's design, and then, by luck, build a real ancient weapon "Pluto".

Or, even if it is a replica of the ancient weapon "Pluto", the consequences will be unimaginable!

The World Government is not afraid of Pluto, but with the Yonko Pirates and the ancient weapon "Pluto", if the World Government does not use its information, the Barrett Pirates can even use "Pluto" to own and defeat them. The confidence for world government negotiations.

At that time, if they want to destroy the Barrett Pirates and take back Hades, even they will have to pay a huge price.

It is even possible that half of the world will be destroyed in their fight.

The world government has never had just one enemy.

When that time comes, will the remaining Four Pirate Emperors and the powerful underground forces in this world remain indifferent?

Even those who are members of the world government's affiliated countries may eventually turn against them and stab them in the back.

"Damn, we just forgot about that."

"Elizabeth, you did a good job. This is something we didn't take into consideration. As for Master Im, we will apologize later."

"By the way, apart from the navy, does Lord Im have any other orders?"

Several of the Five Elders spoke in deep voices, one after another.

In just a few seconds, they seemed to have completely changed their faces, forgetting that they had just oppressed Elizabeth.

Seeing the sanctimonious appearance of Wulaoxing, a sneer flashed across Elizabeth's lowered face.

"Yes, Lord Wulaoxing."

After raising her head, Elizabeth said to the five old stars in front of her: "In order to learn the latest news as soon as possible, in accordance with Lord Im's order, from now on, I will be in charge of the CP Intelligence Department. , Management CP system..."

"What? This is impossible!!!! I have to go to the flowers in person and explain it to Lord Im."

Before Elizabeth could finish speaking, the person in charge of the CP system changed his face and shouted angrily.

Following closely behind were several other Five Old Stars who also had cold expressions on their faces, with solemn eyes.

Lord Yim's decision was like cutting off his supreme power from under the cauldron.

Of course, he had to find Master Im to explain it to him. As for the other Five Old Stars, they also understood the truth behind the death of lips and teeth.

They all followed each other and left together.

Wait for the other five old stars to leave.

Elizabeth's grandfather, the most powerful man who was also a member of the Five Old Stars, walked up to Elizabeth and sighed.

"Elizabeth, you are too impatient. Before you are fully grown, there are some things that you cannot be too impatient about."

"Even if you really want to gain supreme power, you can't just pull out the bottom of the cauldron and take away the root of that person's power."

"Even if Lord Yimu agrees to let you take charge of the CP system, some things cannot be accomplished overnight. Just wait and see. Next, you will definitely face a crazy counterattack from the other party. By then, let alone completely controlling the CP system, even your life will be in danger."

"And...I won't help you with this matter."

From ancient times to the present, the most cruel thing is the struggle for power.

In this world government, there is certainly no exception.

Just like Elizabeth's biological grandfather would not help her, even if the other party was willing to help her, Elizabeth would not believe it.

Not to mention the other party, she was married to that perverted face without saying a word because of the marriage for profit.

Even if it was for himself, he would probably side with Wulao Xing without hesitation this time.

Since the establishment of the World Government, the power in the hands of the Five Old Stars has never changed unless they die.

Now, once Elizabeth takes this step, the power in the hands of the other five old stars may also face various challenges.

This is something they absolutely do not allow.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I know."

Facing her grandfather who had a "kind face", Elizabeth smiled "sweetly".

"Hey!"

Look at Elizabeth.
