When the news spread across the sea that Kazan was not a Shichibukai.
New World, Dressrosa, a toy country famous for its charming surroundings.
In the eyes of ordinary people who don't know what's going on, this is a mysterious and fun-filled dream island.
In the eyes of those who know the fruit of childishness, this is a hell full of darkness and pain.
"Hey, Torrebol, do you know what it means for Kazan to withdraw from the Shichibukai?"
"I don't know..."
Torebol sniffed the long snot hanging under his nose and scratched his greasy hair in confusion.
"It means...that guy is coming to the new world, hahahahaha."
Doflamingo rarely laughed out loud, and the officers around him could feel Dove's joy at this moment.
"Is there finally going to be a war...the Don Quixote family and the Monster family?"
Diamanti stroked the long sword in his hand, and a figure that made him feel humiliated and angry flashed in his eyes as he stared at the blade.
"snort."
Pika, who rarely spoke a word all day long, heard the monster family and rarely expressed her feelings with a sharp hum.
"I'm looking forward to it a little bit."
A man with a pink baby hat on his head and a pacifier in his mouth crossed his arms and said with a serious expression.
"Don't underestimate them. I don't know about the others. That 'red dog' is a real monster."
Gladius, who had participated in the last battle for Hailiu Island, leaned against the wall, recalling the powerful strength of Kazan when he first saw him.
"Just be ready, ba ba ba."
Doflamingo pinched a goblet on the table, drank the red wine in it with a smile, and then glanced at the woman quietly standing in a corner.
Violet, who was being watched by Doflamingo, did not show any expression, but only she knew what was thinking in her heart.
Since being forced to join the Don Quixote family, she heard Doflamingo mention a man named Kazan many times.
After learning about it, she felt this was an opportunity.
An opportunity to save Dressrosa from the fire and water. She had been looking forward to this opportunity more than a year ago, but now she has given up.
Unexpectedly, I heard this name again now.
Judging from the looks of these guys, even if she didn't beg the pirates, they would start a war with each other.
This also saves her from worrying that she has just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth again.
Since he is a madman who dares to kill even the kings of the countries that join the World Government, he must not be afraid of going to war with the Don Quixote family.
But even so, there are still many things to worry about.
Putting aside whether that group of pirates can defeat the powerful Don Quixote family, even if they can, what will they do to Dressrosa after they win?
Violet could not predict the consequences of driving away wolves and devouring tigers, but she was thinking in her mind: Could any situation be worse than now?
Violet sighed, feeling confused and worried about the future of the Riku family.
...
In a storm-covered sea area in the New World, on the legendary terrifying three-gallon ship.
Moonlight Moria and his Moonlight Seven people gathered here, staring at the newspaper with burning eyes.
"Hehehehehe, come on, come on, that guy is finally coming!"
"Lord Moria, calm down. To do something like this two years after he was born, he must be so strong that this 'Red Dog' is not afraid of the World Government and the Navy. We must be fully prepared.
.”
A swordsman sitting upright next to Moriah drank tea and asked Moriah to calm down.
The sword hanging on this man's waist is the national treasure of Wano, the great sharp sword with twenty-one skills.
And the appearance of this person is none other than the dragon-slaying warrior, Frost Moon Ryoma, who died eight hundred years ago.
It's just that this man's soul is no longer the soul of Frost Moon Ryoma. This body is completely controlled by the shadow under his feet.
The shadow of a great swordsman who was somewhat famous in the New World had a bounty of 200 million beli on his head.
Among the Moonlight Seven, one is the shadow of Moonlight Moria, one is the suture man who ate the devil fruit, and the other is a famous surgeon in the West Sea.
Except for these three, the others are all zombies created by Moria relying on his abilities, corpses and shadows of strong men.
"Come and kill a few."
A huge roar suddenly sounded, echoing throughout the terrifying three-gallon ship.
Several people nearby were so noisy that the surgeon directly picked up the scalpel in his hand and shouted at the black shadow behind him that was so huge that it almost covered the sky: "Oz! How many times have I told you,
Don't talk in my ear!"
"Hehehehe, when the time comes, those little guys under Kazan will be left to you."
...
In the first half of the Grand Line, in a casino on an island in the paradise.
Tezzolo calmly looked at the newspaper in his hand, feeling a little happy, but he couldn't say he was shocked.
Unless the Celestial Dragon is in trouble, he will generally not be affected by things in the newspapers.
Seeing Kazan's complete disregard for the World Government, Tezolo even felt that it was a bit natural.
Of course that man doesn't care what the world government thinks.
However, he is still a little confused now.
Tezzolo helped the Monster Family intentionally or unintentionally because he regarded Kazan as his benefactor in life. Only he understood what the letter Kazan handed him meant to him.
When Kazan handed him the letter, he even considered whether to join the Monster Family.
But he soon gave up the idea.
He is not interested in Kazan's ambition to be the strongest in the world. Joining rashly may harm Kazan because of his revenge activities.
So he couldn't convince himself to join the monster family.
Unless Kazan's goal is to destroy the entire Marijoa and all the Draco.
"It's almost time for the battlefield in the underground world to move to the new world, and it's time for me to set off."
Tezzolo squeezed the golden cane in his hand, stood up and walked towards the outside of the casino.
What happens next will be discussed later.
Now, he has to collect money first.
"Only when you have money can you have the capital to resist."
...
New World, a small island near Onigashima in Wano Country.
"When are you going to challenge Kaido?"
"There's no rush. The injuries from the previous battle with Big Mom haven't healed yet. I'll have to wait another half a year at least."
"It's too forced."
Mihawk glanced at the scar on his thigh. It was pretty good that an injury of that level could heal in half a year.
It is still difficult for Shanks to defeat opponents of the level of Big Mom and Kaido.
Mihawk felt that there was no reason for Shanks to be so anxious to challenge those guys.
But since Shanks didn't take the initiative to tell the reason, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
If Shanks hadn't broken off his left arm, he would definitely be on the same level as those guys now.
Mihawk sighed and took a sip of wine.
Almost everyone doesn't know, even Kazan didn't pay attention, that Shanks was actually left-handed before he broke his arm.
From the time Mihawk met Shanks, Shanks has always used his left hand to use the knife. He usually eats meat, drinks, and holds his hat with his left hand.
If a left-handed man loses his dominant left hand, his combat effectiveness will be reduced more seriously than if Whitebeard's old disease relapses.
"Stop talking about this, look, look, this guy Kazan is messing up again, hahahaha."
Shanks didn't seem to want to discuss his challenge to the Emperor of the Sea, so he directly pulled over a newspaper and teased Mihawk.
"...like something he would do."
"Yeah, I think this guy will make the new world turbulent."
Shanks looked at the news in the newspaper and rubbed his head with a headache.
...
New World, Moby Dick.
"Dad, a little monster will challenge you in the next two years. Remember to show mercy."
‘Foil Sword’ Bista looked at the reward order in his hand with a faint smile.
"That little devil with red eyes, right? Gu la la la, if he is willing to become my son, I will let him go."
Edward Newgate glanced at the reward warrant in Bista's hand and laughed loudly.
Kazan keeps saying that he will become the strongest in the world every day, and Whitebeard also heard about it from Bista.
He didn't care much about Kazan.
Because Whitebeard has absolute confidence in himself, and it is really difficult for a boy who has not even stepped into the new world to get him interested.
the other side.
Teach was sitting in the corner, eating blueberry pie and reading the newspaper in his hand.
It's just that what he saw was the news about Tiga becoming a Shichibukai, not the news about Kazan killing the king of the country that joined the World Government.
Tiqi smiled secretly. He had to put in a lot of effort to become a Shichibukai for Tiga. Otherwise, how could he become a Shichibukai with Tiga's character?
Tiqi helped Tiga become a Shichibukai, and naturally he had his own purpose.
However, this purpose may not be realized until several years later.
...
World Government, in the office of the Five Old Stars.
"People, have they been sent out?"
"Well, it's been confirmed that Pluto's design drawings are on the two apprentices of Tom in the Capital of Seven Waters."
"Didn't one of them die?"
"He's not dead, it's just that he never returned to the Capital of Seven Waters. He was met once by someone from CP9 before, but he ran away and is now being chased."
"Remember to grab the other one."
With one word from each of the Five Old Stars, the two brothers involved in the design drawings of the Seven Waters Capital and Pluto were tightly arranged.
They were bound to get the Pluto blueprint. The original plan was to send CP9 people to lurk in the Capital of Seven Waters and wait for the opportunity to take action.
But Kazan's sudden appearance on this route, his unscrupulous style, and the existence of Nicole Robin made several old guys unable to sit still.
Regardless of whether the 'Red Dog' is interested in Pluto or not, in short, they do not intend to wait any longer.
"What about Alabasta?"
"Krokdal is not a free man. He will not let the 'Red Dog' roam around on his own territory."
"We all know Crocodile's ambitions, and the Neferutali royal family has not yet completely declined. If Red Dog intends to let Nicole Robin access the historical text there, it is impossible to bypass these two stumbling blocks.
.”
"Just in case, let Warring States send people to Alabasta."
"agree."
...
At this time, Crocodile, who was at the mouth of the storm, was the most troublesome person on the entire sea.
Alabasta, Rainland, inside an underground casino called ‘Rain Feast’.
Anyone who pays attention to the Monster Family knows that the next stop for the Monster Pirates is Alabasta.
It is the territory of Crocodile, the "King of the Desert" of the Shichibukai.
It’s impossible for the former Shichibukai ‘Red Dog’ to encounter the current Shichibukai ‘King of the Desert’ without something interesting happening.
What's more, there was news about the two fighting against each other a few years ago. It is foreseeable that the two will definitely have friction in Alabasta.
"Lord Crocodile..."
"Mr.0, don't panic, I can handle it."
Crocodile looked at the newspaper with a slightly gloomy expression. He knew that Kazan guy would definitely come to him.
Don't know why, he just feels this way.
That guy will come and mess with it.
Crocodile really vomited. Ever since they first met on Serenity Island, whenever the monster family and Baroque Studio met, Crocodile always suffered a loss.
Kazan was like a troublemaker in his life, and he was bored to death by going back and forth.
"No matter what, I will always follow Lord Crocodile."
A middle-aged man next to Crocodile was a little silent, but he was actually not panicked at all.
Although he was almost dying, even if he faced death again, he could not move at all.
Mr.0 knows that Crocodile is very strong, super strong.
So even if there is some trouble, it probably won't bankrupt their plan.
Mr.0 is a pure-blooded three-eyed tribesman. He has a third eye on his forehead that is no different from an ordinary eye.
Originally, he was just a beggar who almost died while living in the sewers, but he was saved by Crocodile and kept by his side to train him.
Mr.0 knows that Crocodile saved him because of a rumor in the sea that "the third eye of the three-eyed tribe can understand the text of history after awakening".
He didn't care what purpose Crocodile had in saving him. Anyway, if Crocodile saved him, then his life belongs to Crocodile, and Crocodile can use it however he wants.
It's just that Mr.0 doesn't know how he awakened, what symptoms he has when he awakens, and whether he can understand the text of history after awakening.
These are all unknown.
"It doesn't matter. We may not meet that guy yet. Maybe he will stay in Alabasta for a while and then leave directly."
Crocodile took a deep breath of the cigar in his mouth and comforted himself.
...
Half a month after these events, Caruso arrived at the sea off Alabasta with smooth sailing and was about to reach the coast of Alabasta.
"Krokdal! Your father is here!"
Kazan's voice echoed over the sea near Alabasta.
Crocodile, who was far away, sneezed and frowned, feeling something bad.
