Shampoo is in fifth gear, and Kizaru is numb

Chapter 39

"Hey, the climate on the island in the doldrums feels so weird."

Luffy opened his mouth and

"Of course, the climate in the Calm Belt is worse than that in the first half of the Grand Line, and the climate in the New World is even worse than that in the Calm Belt. You will know this after you enter the New World."

"However, different sea areas have different climatic conditions, and your navigators will be needed to identify this."

Rayleigh said with a smile

"Leave it to me."

Nami clenched her fists and said

"By the way, Uncle Rayleigh, why do you know so much about the Calm Belt?"

Usopp asked curiously,"Did the Roger Pirates also conquer the Calm Belt?"

"No."

Rayleigh raised the exquisite silver wine bottle and took a sip of wine, saying:"This is just a little hobby of mine after I retired to Shampoo Land. I occasionally swim in the doldrums."

"Swimming in the Calm Belt."

Usopp and Chopper thought about the terrifying and unimaginable monsters they encountered when they strayed into the Calm Belt before, and shuddered instantly.

Sure enough, the legendary pirates are all monsters.

"It's great to swim in the calm zone."

Luffy sighed:"If I hadn't eaten the rubber fruit, I should be able to do it now."

You know, he used to be very good at swimming.

"It's a win-win situation, Luffy. The power of the devil fruit is sometimes very useful, especially yours."

Rayleigh looked at Luffy deeply and said with a smile.

Luffy's current strength should be relatively weak among the admirals, but if the power of the fruit is taken into account, the fourth gear is relatively strong among the admirals. The fifth gear can even suppress the level of the four emperors.

"At your current growth rate, you should be able to meet Shanks soon."

"Shanks, I really miss that scene.

Luffy took off the straw hat from behind and put it in his hands.

It seemed as if he saw the man and the arm he lost.

"We will definitely meet, this is an agreement."

Luffy said in a serious tone, full of expectation.

Everyone could feel Luffy's emotions at this moment, and looked at their captain with a smile that seemed to be tolerant and doting.

At this moment, the cry of the newspaper bird was heard in the sky.

"It's really strange, there are so many newspaper birds."

Frankie raised his sunglasses and looked at the newspaper birds in the sky.

In such a remote doldrum, it would be good to see a newspaper bird passing by occasionally on weekdays, but today there are flocks of newspaper birds.

""Give me today's newspaper."

Xia Qi looked at the newspaper in the sky and threw a Berry into the air, which landed accurately in the pocket of the newspaper bird.

"Miss Xia Qi really likes to read newspapers."

Nami said with a smile. She went to Xia Qi Bar and saw the piles of newspapers behind the bar.

"As an intelligence officer, newspapers are also an important source of intelligence. Moreover, although Morgans is a bit exaggerated, he generally does not falsify important information."

Xia Qi smiled gently.

She has retired and cut off contact with the underground world. Reading newspapers is now the only source of important information in the world.

She will not miss almost every issue of the World Economic News.

Moreover, her keen intuition can easily extract the truly useful information from Morgans' newspapers.

"Let me see what important information is in today's newspaper?"

Xia Qi smiled and opened the newspaper in her hand.

However, as soon as she took a look, the smile on her face disappeared.

"No wonder the navy's defense force in Shampoo has been so weak these days. It turns out that the navy is going to fight the Four Emperors Whitebeard head-on."

"Whitebeard? It sounds so familiar. I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before.

Luffy tilted his head and thought hard.

"Hmm?" Rayleigh's face became serious when he heard this:"The Navy and Whitebeard are going to war? Really, Xia Qi, how is this possible? Is the Navy going to break the balance of power on the sea?"

"Weren't they trying their best to promote the balance of the world a few years ago? Why is it like this now?"

"It is probably true."

Xia Qi responded:"This is not Morgans's speculation or fabrication. This is a statement issued by the World Government to the whole world through Morgans."

"They will publicly execute the Captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace the Fire Fist, in front of the whole world at the Marine Headquarters in Marinford in four days.

Luffy was stunned.

"Liar, Ace?"

After Xia Qi finished speaking, Nami covered her mouth directly, unable to believe what she heard

"Hey, Luffy, isn't Ace your brother?"

Usopp quickly looked at Luffy and asked nervously

"That polite man, Luffy's brother, was arrested by the navy?"

Sanji recalled the unusually polite man who raised his hand to light his cigarette for him. Zoro glanced at

Luffy and frowned, but his eyes were unusually firm. He was also the only one among the crowd who did not show too much panic. Although it was only a brief contact in Alabasta,

Ace still left a deep impression on the members of the Straw Hat Pirates at that time.

Moreover, they also clearly knew how deep the relationship between Ace and Luffy was.

At this moment, this news

"Let me see it."

Luffy suddenly came back to his senses and quickly snatched the newspaper from Miss Xia Qi's hand.

No one cared about being polite at this moment. They all understood Luffy's current mood.

"It's really Ace."

Luffy looked at the photo in the center of the newspaper.

It was taken by the Navy in Impel Prison.

In the dark prison, Ace was wearing handcuffs and shackles, with chains wrapped around his body. His eyes were calm, with a hint of regret and despair.

This was his brother.

"Things are getting difficult."

Rayleigh sat on the stone, his eyes slightly lowered, full of haze.

Although he didn't know what the Navy had done, he wanted to use Fire Fist Ace as a trigger for a decisive battle with the Whitebeard Pirates.

But since this world statement has been issued.

This is enough to show the determination of the World Government and the Navy.

This is definitely not a simple matter.

Even to a certain extent.

After this statement was issued, the death of Fire Fist Ace was highly likely.

Because once Fire Fist Ace did not die and was rescued.

This would cause great damage to the prestige of the World Government and the Navy.

In other words, the World Government and the Navy put their own prestige on it and would definitely do their best to execute Fire Fist Ace.
