At the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku realized something was wrong ever since Satou's phone call was suddenly hung up.
He had already guessed that the person opposite the 'Kizaru' phone bug was not Porusalino.
Warring States looked solemn at first, frowning slightly, but soon relaxed.
Because what was said was not an important matter. Even if the other party knew that 'Ghoul' was dead, it didn't matter. This matter would be exposed sooner or later.
"Well..."
Warring States hesitated for a moment and decided to advance the original plan a little bit. Originally, he was thinking about whether the current progress was too slow. Since something like this happened now, he should move forward a little bit.
Coincidentally, the World Government's bad guys also gave him a bit of trouble.
Brum brum brum.
Picking your feet.
"Mooxi~Mooxi~Marshal of the Warring States Period, do you have any orders?"
"Polusalino, send that guy the Shichibukai invitation letter."
"Oh? The candidate for the next Shichibukai has been decided..."
"Ah...it was decided by the Five Old Stars. The World Government seems to have some ideas."
In fact, from the perspective of the Warring States Period, the Shichibukai candidate this time may not be so good in terms of strength. The reason for choosing him... probably involves political and racial issues.
"It's really troublesome~ Will that guy really agree to become a Shichibukai?"
"Yes, if he still wants his crew to get home safely..."
"Okay, okay."
"Okay, let's do it quickly. Also, come back as soon as possible after sending the invitation letter. Kuzan and Sakakis have returned to the Navy Headquarters, and it's almost time to start."
"Yeah, got it."
Picking your feet.
Hanging up the phone, Sengoku looked at the seven bounty orders on the table, which happened to be the bounty orders for the seven people in the Shichibukai.
"When the ceremony is over...it's almost time to hold a Shichibukai meeting."
Since Sengoku ascended to the position of marshal, the Shichibukai will soon be replaced by two. However, Sengoku has not seen these Shichibukai yet.
This is not possible.
How about...getting to know each other.
...
On the sea, two weeks have passed since Granu made the call.
And today, two big things were published in the newspapers.
However, these two things were within Kazan's guesses, but he didn't expect them to happen so quickly.
[There are three new admirals in total, namely ‘Akainu’ Sakakis, ‘Kizaru’ Porusalino, and ‘Ao Pheasant’ Kuzan]
[The original Shichibukai ‘Ghoul’ was dismissed as a Shichibukai for violating the regulations of the Shichibukai. The new Shichibukai is the current captain of the Sun Pirates, ‘Kai Xia’ Jinbei.]
There are also supporting news such as [Three natural generals, this navy is so terrifying!], ['Ghoul' was killed by Charlotte Katakuri in all nations], some of which are very interesting.
It was obviously a deliberate move by the Navy and the World Government to create momentum for the new three generals.
“As expected.”
Kazan looked at these two pieces of news and didn't feel any surprise. When he heard from Sengoku that 'Ghoul' was dead, he felt that it was almost time to take over as the new Shichibukai.
And the greatest possibility of the Shichibukai is Jinbe.
Although Kazan can't remember clearly, the situation on Fish-Man Island is probably very tense now because of Queen Otohime.
The World Government...or the Five Old Stars cannot let go of such a good opportunity and will definitely find a way to get involved with Fish-Man Island.
As for whether it was because of the geographical location of Fish-Man Island or because of Poseidon, the King of the Sea, Kazan couldn't guess.
In short, it is difficult for them to go to the Fish-Man Island, which is 10,000 meters under the sea, but there are opportunities at sea.
The only chance to get in touch with Fish-Man Island at sea...is the Sun Pirates, which is composed entirely of fish-men.
Previously, because of Tiger, the Five Old Stars could not let Tiger be the Shichibukai because of the Celestial Dragons.
But now that Tiger is 'dead' and the only obstacle is gone, the remaining Sun Pirates are a very good choice.
"Kazan...over the Sun Pirates..."
At this time, Feng Clay frowned and looked at Kazan. Bellamy next to him rarely went to training, but looked a little stunned at the news.
Kazan could guess what they were thinking.
"Well...those 'anti-humanity' guys from the Sun Pirates are probably going to 'rebel'...Oh, especially Aaron's ones."
"Tsk."
Bellamy slapped his mouth. Obviously, this time Bellamy also thought that with Aaron's character, he would be extremely dissatisfied with Jinbei becoming the Shichibukai, the 'watchdog of the World Government'.
Aaron is Bellamy's good friend. The two have similar personalities and interests, and have always had a good relationship.
Bellamy was a little worried that Aaron would conflict with Jinbei.
Others don't know it, but Bellamy knows it. The relationship between Aaron and Jinbei is not good to begin with. The two of them dislike each other. Tiger used to suppress them, so they are still in harmony, and they only have occasional disagreements.
Now...
"There are many benefits to becoming a Shichibukai. If Jinbei is smart, he can make a lot of profits for Fish-Man Island from this identity. He can also bring an extra layer of protection to Fish-Man Island and give the pirates who go to Fish-Man Island an extra layer of protection.
layer of scruples.
"Also, I don't know why, but Jinbei's character makes him willing to become a Shichibukai. There must be a reason why he has to do so."
What Kazan doesn't know is that the World Government and the Navy have tried every means to block the Sun Pirates on a certain island. If Jinbei doesn't agree to become the Shichibukai...
Those fishmen of the Sun Pirates will probably never be able to return to Fishman Island.
"I hope that guy Aaron can be more sensible."
Bellamy sighed slightly distressedly. Even if he was there, he couldn't get involved in such matters that were related to the internal affairs of the Sun Pirates.
Kazan glanced at Bellamy who was returning to the training room for training, and turned his attention back to the newspaper. There was nothing else worth paying attention to.
The trouble is that the sea will definitely become restless because of these three new admirals.
The pirates will be restless, and the revolutionary army and underground forces will not settle down. The more chaotic the situation, the more chaotic these forces will be.
However, accordingly, the Navy and the World Government will also take aggressive action at this juncture to violently suppress these rebels and increase their dominance over the 'Paradise'.
And this is what Kazan doesn't want to see. If it were before, he would definitely be very excited to take the monster family to join this 'carnival in the paradise', but now, he just wants to send Kerra back safely.
