I only want to be a Shichibukai when I have Bengyu

After the Big Mom Pirates sent Elus back to Cyber ​​Island, they returned to Totland. The alliance was put on hold for the time being. This matter was just a matter of passion, and Big Mom wanted it extremely eagerly. Winning over Elus, who currently has no conflict of interest with her, becomes her ally and helps her realize her dream of dominating the new world and seizing the crown of the Pirate King.

However, compared to BIG·MOM's enthusiasm, Eleus remained indifferent.

In his opinion,

The disadvantages of forming an alliance with Big Mom currently outweigh the advantages. Doing so will only separate him from the World Government's front and become an enemy of the navy. At the same time, he will have to bear the pressure from the other three Yonko; and the only benefits he can get are A certain level of assistance from the BIG·MOM Pirates, and a blank check to deceive ghosts by sharing the new world equally in the future.

risks and benefits,

Completely out of balance.

This kind of loss-making business is not something that BIG·MOM can make up for with just a few daughters.

Also, this pool of water in the New World,

very deep,

Very muddy.

The Giant Kingdom of Elbaf is known as the world's most powerful country but very little news comes out; the revolutionary army is mysterious and is regarded as the number one enemy by the world government; it is said that there are rare fur tribes living there. Zou, the land of dreams... There are too many monsters with unknown information hidden in the water of the new world.

Whether it is an organization or an individual.

There are so many monsters!

Even when the Pirate King Gol D. Roger was in his prime, he did not dare to say that he was invincible in the New World. If not for the help of Destiny in the Battle of At Wall, the entire Roger Pirates would have been defeated by the Sky Pirates in their heyday. The regiment was cornered.

But in fact, it was Gol D. Roger who was blessed with destiny and survived a desperate situation. A sudden storm defeated the flying pirates who had the upper hand. The golden lions who roamed the new world were caught off guard. Knocked off the throne by the power of nature.

There are too many uncertain possibilities in this sea.

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

In short, judging from the current situation, he is not prepared to have anything to do with the Big Mom Pirates at all. He will take over and work hard to run the shipping network left by Umit, and at the same time win a piece of the Shichibukai's brand name for Protecting our own shipping network and strengthening our own strength and power are what we should do next.

And we must carry out the plans we have made,

Being distracted will only make things worse.

"Dominate the new world? That's nonsense!"

Elus stood on the ruined dock, watching the huge fleet of the Big Mom Pirates go away, muttering to himself, "Even if I really want to dominate the new world, I can't do it by myself. Why form an alliance with an old lady? You think so, Fran."

pier,

Because the previous battle was destroyed and it was long gone.

The maid girl couldn't find a flat ground to stay on, so she had to violently flatten the nearby ruins. Then Shi Shiran fluttered her wings and landed from the air. Pure white bloomers fell out of Elus' sight. It flashed by, and then the crimson hair swept across Elvus's face, blown by the sea breeze.

"Your Highness, congratulations!"

Standing firm, Fran removed the wings from her back, then lifted up the hem of her black and white skirt, and solemnly gave a very formal congratulations to Eleus.

"The battle with Big Mom lasted for three days and two nights with no outcome."

"Your Highness, your fame has spread throughout the new world!"

The girl's red eyes were full of pride, and her expression of joy and excitement could hardly be suppressed.

"Do you already know it? It is indeed a new world."

Eleus was not too surprised.

The New World is such a magical place.

Call it mysterious! There are indeed many mysterious sea areas that have been shrouded in fog until now. The scope of human activities is actually only a part of the real new world. Rafdru, who hides the great secret treasure of One Piece, is in this huge mysterious sea area.

But the new world is a place where things can never be hidden. If there is any trouble, it can always be spread as soon as possible.

"Your Highness, Eschbach, Casper, Dylan and Dick have received news that the remaining forces of Umit have been completely wiped out, and some people who refused to cooperate before have also submitted forms of surrender. Umit’s shipping network is now under our control.”

Fran continued,

A piece of out-and-out good news was delivered to Elvus.

But before Elus could be happy with the good news for a while, another piece of news came that made people confused.

"By the way, and also, His Majesty the King asked me to tell you something. A group of navy landed on Bikasi Island yesterday evening. They entered the palace and met with His Majesty the King. They said they came under the order of the Navy Marshal. In order to ensure the escort of the Heavenly Gold this year, some preparations need to be made in advance, but His Majesty the King said that this group of navy is actually coming for you, Your Highness."

"navy?"

Eleus was stunned.

The New World has not heard the voice of the Navy for a long time. Nowadays, in the huge New World, only two bases, G1 and G5, maintain the last trace of dignity for the Navy. No matter what kind of trouble the New World is in, you can never see that seagull. flag exists.

Only when the heavenly gold of each world government member country in the New World is escorted every year, can you see Navy warships appearing in the sea areas of the New World.

But at this time, the date for delivering the heavenly gold has not yet arrived.

"I arrived at Bikaxi Island yesterday evening. Does that mean I set off a long time ago? Fran, did father tell you who came from the navy?"

"It's Lieutenant General Garp, who is known as a naval hero."

Fran swallowed subconsciously when she said the name.

In this new world, even children as young as five or six years old know this Iron Fist Lieutenant General Garp who has forced the Pirate King into desperate situations many times. This is the navy with the highest appearance rate in the story of One Piece. There are many stories about One Piece. In both plays and novels, Lieutenant General Garp is regarded as Gol D. Roger's lifelong enemy.

This naval hero,

He is a real celebrity!

Even today's three major generals combined are not as famous as Lieutenant General Garp.

"Lieutenant General Garp?"

Elus frowned.

He did not doubt the judgment conveyed by his father. The gold in the sky was just an excuse. This group of navy came for him, but the problem was that he couldn't figure out what the navy was going to do? Judging from the time, the navy's actions should not be due to the fierce battle between him and Big Mom for three days and two nights with no outcome.

But besides that,

I really can't think of anything else I can do to attract the Navy's attention?

"Flan, does father have anything else to say?"

"His Majesty the King said that he has not figured out the purpose of the navy's coming, so your Highness, you can do whatever you want, whether it is to return to the country immediately, or to continue to operate outside... let you make your own judgment. "

Fran meticulously relayed the opinions of the sixth king of the Kingdom of Exmundo, Soccachio Burwell.

Hear what Fran said.

Eleus was lost in thought.

However, in the absence of information, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what the Navy was going to do. "Apart from father, is there any news about anyone else?" Elus asked meaningfully. .

"There is no news from the late King Woyouke."

Fran shook her head.

Actually not... In other words, this is the action of the navy, not the intention of the world government?

Things are getting interesting!

Eleus narrowed his eyes.

Do you want to make contact with the Navy now? Or······

"...Flan."

"Your Highness."

"Get the boat ready, we're going to ask another Yonko something."

"Eh!?"

————

New world, Kingdom of Aikmundo.

Bikahi Island.

This is the capital of the kingdom, Arabica, a beautiful city known as the City of Coffee.

"The coffee is really good!"

"After all, it is the city of coffee... Damn it, the prices here are so cheap. The last time I went to the Chambord Islands, the same brand of coffee was five times more expensive than here. These damn profiteers are really hateful!!"

"You actually went to the Shampoo Islands to drink coffee? Tina is shocked!"

"What a shame! It's not the fault of that stupid girl Dasqi!"

"It's Sister Dasqi! Why aren't you with me this time? Isn't that child always sticking to your side? What? Could it be that Sister Dasqi finally can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke from you? Isn't this big kid like you? Did you throw away your bong?"

"Huh? What stupid things are you talking about? Is this a ghost place like the New World that that stupid girl can come to now?"

In a small and exquisite cafe on the corner of Warwick Street, a man and a woman in private clothes are enjoying the leisure time of afternoon tea. This man and woman are Smoker and Tina, two young men from the Navy Headquarters. For, a major with a bright future.

They followed Lieutenant General Garp to the new world, and finally arrived at the destination of this mission safely yesterday evening.

It was the city of Arabica at their feet, the capital of the Kingdom of Ecmundo.

but,

They did not meet the core figure of this mission, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom nicknamed [Black Prince], His Highness Socacio Elus, and they were not even sure when His Highness the Prince would end his wandering life outside.

In desperation, they could only stay in this city temporarily and wait for Elvus' return.

today,

Tina, who had nothing to do, dragged Smoker out shopping together.

"Smorg, I thought you didn't understand what it means to be considerate to your subordinates! Isn't that nice? If you could treat other people in this department as gently as you treat sister Dusky, you wouldn't be criticized. People are treated like crazy dogs.”

"Hmph! Who has the patience to talk nonsense with those bureaucrats?"

Smoker was noncommittal and didn't take Tina's words to heart at all.

"Hey! You deserve to be treated as a mad dog." Tina fed the dog with good intentions. The corners of Tina's eyes twitched with anger, and she flicked the knife in her eyes hatefully. The vicious look in her eyes was like looking at Smoker There were several holes left in his body,

It's a pity that this is of no use to Smoker, who is obsessed with 'big events'.

······

"Hey, have you heard about Prince Eleus?"

"Are you talking about the Battle of Cyber ​​Island? How could you not know? The girls in our company are all discussing this today! They said they fought with Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, for three days and two nights. No matter who wins or loses, is this true or false?”

"It must be true, right? World Economic News hasn't reported fake news yet, maybe?"

"However, His Highness Elus in the newspaper is really handsome! I really want to become a maid in the palace so that I can see His Highness Elus every day!"

"It's pretty beautiful as you can imagine. How many maids do you think there are in the palace? How can it be your turn for an 'old' woman to get close to His Highness Elus?"

"Ah! You are so annoying! I just want to think about it! And I am only twenty-four this year, how can I be old?"

······

Sitting next to each other were four young women, who were discussing the hottest topics of the day animatedly.

Smoker listened to the playful voice word for word, but his brain automatically filtered out the irrelevant nonsense, leaving only the words that he thought had certain reference value. After listening for a while, he suddenly He opened his mouth and asked: "Tina, how reliable do you think this matter is?"

"hundred percent."

Tina replied instantly.

After answering, she put down the coffee cup in her hand and looked up at Smoker, who always seemed to be frowning, "Smoger, what are you thinking about again? Don't forget, this time it's Ka Lieutenant General Kapu leads the team, if you dare to act recklessly, Lieutenant General Kapu's fist will not be easy to bear. "

"...I was just thinking that Prince Elus is too young."

Smoker defended himself.

"So what? Big Mom is said to have been able to kill giant warriors with his bare hands when he was five or six years old!"

"Tina, you are making excuses!"

Smoker's forehead veins jumped in anger.

"I'm holding your reins. The Kingdom of Exmundo is a member of the World Government, even if we are... the Navy." When talking about 'Navy', Tina lowered her voice. They are There is no need for those who hang out to show off that they are marines.

"We have no right to interfere in the political affairs of the Kingdom of Exmundo. All we can do is wait, only wait, don't think about doing unnecessary things."

As a friend of the same period,

Tina is well aware of Smoker's ability to cause trouble.

If you leave it alone, Smoker might be able to poke a hole in the sky for you.

"The fifth overlord of the new world?"

Smoker picked up the newspaper at hand and re-read the World Economic News he bought this morning. As soon as he opened it, he saw the enlarged photo on the front page, as well as the black and bold huge title.

"Rise! ! !

The fifth overlord of the new world! 》

The title is extremely simple and crude, but this crude and simple title is intuitive enough to express what it wants to express.

"The twenty-year-old overlord... I really don't know what kind of monster this is!"

Smoker spoke,

His eyes lingered on the enlarged full-body photo on the front page of the newspaper for a long time.
