Arceus' Pirate Journey

Although her personality is a little better now, and she no longer says that she is too beautiful and everything she does will be forgiven, this sentence is now used by her to external people, usually to highlight her status.

But her nature is still there, and being able to listen to Guloliosa's chatter is already a big improvement.

"Obey, Lord Snake Lady."

After she became the emperor of Nine Snakes, Snake Princess became her honorific title. Nine Snakes was not a certain ninja village. As long as the new emperor passed the test and took office, it meant that she had obtained all the power.

Even the previous emperor only had the right to make suggestions. If they could not convince the current emperor, their opinions would not be implemented. So at Hancock's request, Guloliosa was quickly taken out by two warriors.

"set off!"

The Perfumed Serpent was heading towards the agreed location, which was the location they had agreed on with the navy. A person who actively asked for the position of Shichibukai did arouse the interest of the navy. In this era of pirates, what they needed was a force like this to strike against other pirates.

The Nine Snakes were also a veteran pirate group in the first half of the Grand Line, and they had their own reputation. If this generation's Nine Snakes Emperor was really strong enough, then this position could be given away.

The vice admiral on the navy ship also has a hidden mission this time. If the opponent really has that strength, then he will give him the position of Shichibukai. If the opponent is not strong enough, then the Nine Snakes Pirates will become history.'

The vice admiral leading the navy team this time is Lieutenant General Gumil, the highest commander of the G-2 fortress. Gumil, who is not bald yet, is also a veteran vice admiral of the navy. Compared with those newly promoted vice admirals, his strength is more stable.

......

"Put away everything on the deck and prepare for the bombardment. Be careful to avoid being hit by mistake!"

Preparations were being made in advance on the Perfume Serpent, otherwise Olga's appearance at their meeting place and her single attack on the navy would easily cause some misunderstandings, which would likely lead to the failure of the plan.

So what will start at that time will be an indiscriminate attack. This is what has been discussed in advance. However, there will only be a few shots, and the subsequent shells will become phantom shells. They are just making preparations at this time.

For example, changing the paint on the ship, indicating the specific location of the ammunition depot, to prevent it from missing the target, etc.

And in the nearby waters, there is another pirate ship sailing.

There is a pair of wings painted on the sails, which are also the new pirates setting sail this year.

"Captain Sasaki, we're almost at the Sabaody Archipelago!"

The navigator on the ship gave an answer by looking at the fluctuations of the recording pointer, and Sasaki was slightly excited about this.

"Very good, boys, hold on for a few more days, with this we will surely be able to join the Hundred Beasts!"

Some people's goals had already been determined during the voyage. For example, Sasaki chose to become a pirate because he was attracted to Kaido. He wanted to join his army and become a member of the Hundred Beasts.

His original goal was to become a subordinate pirate group of the Beasts, but not long ago, his ambition swelled because after defeating a group of pirates, he found a hexagonal stone slab among the treasures on the other ship.

With the goal of joining the Hundred Beasts, he naturally recognized what it was. Looking at the stone slab that was left with no traces of knife or axe, he knew that his chance had come...

Chapter 440 Kaido's Fanatic Fans

"Brother Sasaki, is this thing really useful?"

The younger brothers were a little skeptical about what their captain said, and were also looking at the irregular hexagonal stone. It was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and looked ordinary, but Sasaki said that such a stone could be used as a gift.

A meeting gift is an indispensable item when pirates meet. The specifications of the meeting gift vary depending on the status difference between the two pirate groups.

The most common thing when pirates of the same level meet is wine. People have different preferences, but there are almost no pirates who don't drink, so fine wines produced from all over the world have become the hard currency when pirates meet.

The situation is different for someone like Sasaki who wants to join the other side. The Hundred Beasts today is no longer the Hundred Beasts of the past. The original Hundred Beasts Pirates only had Kaido as the lone commander.

Quinn was met by chance in the laboratory and was rescued from there. To be precise, most of the current senior executives of Hundred Beasts have a close relationship with that laboratory. That was his initial base.

He also recruited his subsequent followers after defeating them, and then expanded the territory little by little, entering the Country of Wano and laying the foundation for the current Beasts Pirates.

After that, except for some children that the members brought back on their way out, the way Hundred Beasts recruited members had changed, and no one could join if they wanted to.

It's easy to become an affiliated pirate group, but if you want to join directly, you either need to have a brilliant record or a very important gift.

Almost no one in the first half of the pirates can achieve such a dazzling record, not even the so-called supernovas.

The popularity of Haki in the first half of the Grand Line is very low. Before entering the New World for training, even if they have a bounty of over 100 million, they are just ordinary fighters in the eyes of the big pirates in the New World.

Even those from the Worst Generation were chased everywhere when they first entered the New World, and the unique climate of the New World alone almost cost some people their lives.

Sasaki knew that his strength would not be valued by the other party for the time being, so the gift was particularly important.

Although his bounty is high enough to become an affiliated pirate group, he is similar to Bartolomeo in one respect. Just as Bartolomeo is a crazy fan of Luffy, Sasaki is a fan of Kaido, and he only likes Kaido.

The information he obtained from the newspaper gave him some understanding of Kaido's preferences. For example, there was wine he prepared in the cabin, and drinking with Kaido was what he wanted to do most.

"Of course. Baishou has always offered a bounty for this stone. I heard that it is used to create an indestructible armor? Anyway, this thing will make Baishou accept us as an exception. Let's speed up. I can't wait any longer."

"Wait a minute... Boss Sasaki, something's happening!"

The lookout on the flagpole suddenly shouted to Sasaki, as if he had discovered some important news.

"what happened?"

"There are ships fighting ahead! One of the ships is flying the flag of the Beasts!"

Upon hearing this, Sasaki quickly reached the top of the flagpole, and even his men didn't notice how their captain got up there.

"Give me the telescope!"

Snatching the binoculars from his subordinate, Sasaki's mouth corners raised even more. He was originally thinking about how to approach the other party without causing disgust.

Having a suitable gift for a meeting is one thing, but how to give the gift is another. And now, the opportunity has come.

"Start the outer wheel and rush over at full speed. Boys, where you will sit in the future depends on today!"

Sasaki was born in the Seven Water City of the Grand Line, a region with an extremely developed shipbuilding industry.

Because of his admiration for Kaido, he embarked on the path of pirate, so the quality of his ship is much better than that of ordinary pirates. This is also the money he saved from his previous job as a pirate hunter to buy the ship.

The Seven Waters City is not an ordinary shipyard. In addition to its advanced shipbuilding technology, the shipbuilders there are also top-notch skilled ones.

Following his orders, Sasaki's ships began to speed up.

...

Not long ago, the Perfume Serpent's meeting with the Navy was not a particularly pleasant one.

Hancock stepped on the body of the snake and came to the warship. In an instant, she attracted the gazes of a group of navy men. At the same time, she heard the sound of bullets being loaded.

"Sweet sweet breeze~"

"Boa Hancock! What are you doing?!"

Looking at the large number of navy men around him who had turned into stone statues, Gumil questioned Hancock. There was a lot of brown powder at the corners of his mouth. He had the habit of drinking coffee, but the specialty near the G-2 branch was bitter coffee.

He just stuffed a bag of concentrated bitter coffee powder into his mouth to divert his attention. The development time of Hancock's fruit is not enough, and it is more difficult to petrify these stronger people.

"Who let them look around? I just taught them a lesson. And you will forgive me, right? Because I am so beautiful."

The navy wanted to test her strength, and she was also trying to intimidate the navy. Shichibukai sounded like a good position, as she didn't have to be wanted and could plunder legally, but this position was not that simple.

Many pirates regard the Seven Warlords of the Sea as running dogs of the World Government, and the Navy also regards the Seven Warlords of the Sea as scum and consumables. If they don't show their skills, their days will be difficult.

"No problem... No! Change them back for me!"

The blade has been unsheathed, and Gumir's eyes have become dangerous. This fruit ability is particularly useful when facing a large number of enemies. Only a few people can rely on domineering to resist the influence of the fruit.

If one is not strong enough, even if one knows domineering power, one will not be able to withstand the opponent's attack. After all, Gumil is a veteran lieutenant general, so he will not lose his combat effectiveness directly.

"When I'm in a good mood, your blade makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"you!"

"I advise you to calm down, Vice Admiral. If anything happens to me, even if you can find the fruit of regeneration, the next person with the ability will not be able to remove my petrification."

"Is this your attitude? You were the ones who proposed the Shichibukai deal."

"That being said, it's not etiquette to point a gun at someone. Where's the invitation to the Shichibukai?"

Hancock's strength also gave Gumir a deeper understanding, so he took out the invitation letter from the World Government to become the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Can we un-petrify them now?"

"Snake Princess, Snake Princess!"

Hancock hadn't replied yet, but Guroliosa behind her had already jumped and signaled to her that the plan had almost been accomplished, and in her opinion it would be best to end it quickly.

At this time, the sound of artillery shells gliding in the air was heard, and everything was just as planned...

Chapter 441 Why should I listen to you?

"Victarion, it's up to you."

"Don't worry, big sister, I won't let you down."

Victarion, who was rescued from the slave ship with Hancock and the others, joined the Beasts after that and used his own talents to get his own position on the Shadow Fox.

He is currently in charge of artillery command. According to the angle planned in advance, the artillery on the Shadow Fox directly started bombing.

"Everyone, be careful! Don't load the wrong shells! The white ones are for attacking the Kujaku ship!"

Those shells were specially made low-quality shells. They only made a loud noise when fired, and the damage was very limited.

Victarion instructed the gunners on the ship in a loud voice. As a gunner, it is very important to have a loud voice, otherwise outsiders will not be able to hear it at all.

There was much thunder but little rain on the Nine Snakes' ship, but it was different on the navy's ship. Hancock had just unpetrotized them when high-explosive shells exploded.

"Be careful to avoid, fight back, fight back!"

After all, they were regular troops and directly under the command of the lieutenant general. The sudden artillery bombardment did not cause them to collapse, and they quickly entered the combat formation under Gumil's command.

"It's the Beasts Pirates! That ship is....Phantom Disaster!"

"Have those lunatics started again..."

It was rare for pirates to actively attack the navy in the first half of the Grand Line. If the team was led by someone else, Gumir might have felt something was wrong, but since the leader was Olga, many things would make sense.

She is the one who has made the most noise outside in the past few years. Quinn is now famous within the intelligence system, while Olga is famous in the newspapers. In addition to the secret slave hunting operations, she occasionally attacks navy warships. This is her revenge.

Sometimes she is very narrow-minded. Akainu and Tsuru chased her for several months. Although they didn't catch her, she still holds a grudge against them.

However, most of these attacks occur in the New World, which is the territory of the pirates, and most of the ships attacked are surveillance ships. The frequency is completely random.

This is also the attitude of the Navy towards the big pirate groups such as Hyakko and Whitebeard. They can leave them alone, but they must monitor them and cannot be completely ignorant of their movements. In most cases, pirates will also choose to ignore the surveillance ships in the distance.

Because even if one or two surveillance ships are sunk, the navy will quickly send out a more secretive team, accompanied by retaliatory actions, which will be even more troublesome.

The navy is constantly exterminating pirates, but as for those big pirates who have become powerful in the New World and can pose a huge threat, the navy has an attitude of no major friction but constant small friction.

If Blackbeard hadn't offered Ace on his own initiative, giving the Navy a chance to fight at home while resting, they would not have rashly launched such a war of annihilation.

"Increase the intensity of the bombardment! Keep your distance. That guy can create an illusion. If she gets close to you, it will be troublesome!"

The Navy's intelligence department also plays a role. At least they are not completely ignorant of the enemy's capabilities. For example, what they know about Olga is that she can create illusions and deceive people's perception within a certain distance.

Keeping a certain distance can at least prevent one from being deceived and falling into a state of infighting.

"Sister He is not here..."

According to the known intelligence within the Navy, Crane's ability can restrain the opponent's phantom, but Crane has been chasing Doflamingo for some time. That is an order issued by the World Government. After all, Doflamingo's identity is different.

"Boa Hancock! As a Shichibukai, I now require you to join us in defeating the enemy!"

"I refuse. The agreement states that I must accept the mandatory summons of the World Government and pay a certain amount of income to the government. However, I can move freely at ordinary times without any interference from the government.

You cannot represent the World Government, so I can ignore your request."

"Are you kidding me?! You're their target too!"

"From where the shells landed, it can be seen that you are the main target. These are probably stray bullets. Staying away from you is the best option now."

Hancock did not directly agree to Gumil's request. The previous bounty criminals had already made their attitude clear. Showing goodwill and obeying orders are not synonymous.

If you obey the navy's requests, you will definitely be ordered around in more places in the future.

The navy can also be seen as a company. The most diligent person in the company may not necessarily get promoted, but he or she will definitely be the busiest. Moreover, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are not a department affiliated with the navy. At most, they are outsourced to the navy.

Gumil is not the big boss yet, he is just a manager of another department, and his words have no power to command Hancock at all.

When she said this, Hancock was already standing on top of the Serpent, ready to return to the Perfume Serpent.

"I am now representing the World Government. Your receipt has not been sent back yet. I have the right to think that you are not suitable for this position!"

Although it is a basic requirement for a vice admiral to use Haki, the soldiers under his command do not have Observation Haki. According to the navy's intelligence, people without Observation Haki will become tools when facing Olga, so he needs Hancock's military support.

Although Hancock, who is only 15 years old, is far from her peak strength at the age of 18, she has also reached the strength that an -year-old should have, and her combat effectiveness is very strong.

In Gumir's opinion, the petrification ability would definitely cause great trouble to the opponent, but he did not expect Hancock to be so uncooperative.

"Send the receipt back first, and I will join the battle."

Finally, under this bargaining situation, Hancock participated in the battle, but she was the only one participating in the battle. Gumir knew very well that ordinary people were meaningless in such a battle, and too many people would only be used by the other side.
