Chapter 197 Tragedy of Sakaski

"What a bold man!"

In the New World, on the Moby Dick, Whitebeard was looking at the newspaper that Marco had just bought.

Newgate snatched the newspaper away with just a headline, which also led to the owl that landed on the Moby Dick doing particularly good business.

Seeing that their father was so interested, and since they had all been educated by Kevin before, they couldn't wait to pay for new newspapers.

"Haha, that Crocodile guy has become a running dog of the World Government? One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? This title is a disgrace to pirates."

"Didn't you see the analysis in the newspaper? What the World Government cares about is that these seven people can shock the sea and then challenge Dad's failed record. They can indeed do that."

"Look behind! Look behind!"

"Uh-huh!!?"

Diamond Joz's eyes widened, and he looked at Marco beside him and said, "Are you sure you're not bragging? Although those fat pig-like Celestial Dragons are no different from garbage, but..."

Marco took over Joz's words and said, "Just attacking the Celestial Dragons will attract the deployment of the admirals of the navy. Although the admirals are just admirals to us, the power of the navy and the world government is not just the admirals..."

"In addition, Sir, you didn't just attack the Celestial Dragons, you killed six of them. Such behavior can be said to be a threat to the World Government."

This made Vista frown: "Marco, maybe we can be more polite."

Marco was unconvinced: "We are pirates. There is no difference between being polite and rude."

Vista sighed and pointed at Sachi who was recording beside him: "Next time we meet Mr., do you think he will tell him what you just said? If so, you should be hanging up and being taught a lesson while we are drinking and feasting, right?"

Marco: (◣д◢) "Thatch, hand over your notebook, asshole!"

For a moment, there was chaos on the deck.

Newgate looked towards the sea level, and recalled the past scenes in his mind.

The baby who survived the Valley of God now has the ability to take revenge on that group of people.

But the significance of this piece of news is far more than just announcing his revenge.

From eight hundred years ago to today, the Celestial Dragons living in Marijoa have been high and mighty, and no one can resist them, even pirates keep their distance.

Descendants of God, world nobles... Such titles were like a protective shield before, preventing anyone in the entire ocean from taking action against them.

And these so-called great pirates, whether it was himself, BiGMOM, Shiki the Golden Lion, or Kaido who was just a kid back then...

After experiencing the Valley of God incident, I will not get along with this group of trash.

That gentleman from the revolutionary army just tore off the protective shield of the Celestial Dragons with one hand.

"Dad!"

"Ok?"

Joz waved the newspaper in one hand, "Let's go find a Celestial Dragon to kill! Sir has killed six, so our Whitebeard Pirates must kill at least seven!"

Whitebeard Newgate: →_→

Kill the Celestial Dragons? Or seven?

Do you really think you can kill those slugs of the Celestial Dragons just like that?

Do you really think the world government is made of mud?

Do you really think those guys in the Knights of God are all slugs?
"cough."

Newgate coughed, then reached out and patted Joz's shoulder: "What do you think is the difference between us and the Revolutionary Army, no, and the Cloaked Man?"

Dad's words attracted the attention of Marco, Thatch and others.

Blackbeard Teach in the corner also smiled. He knew very well the difference between the two. He even knew the difference between the Pirate Group and the Revolutionary Army.

"Dad."

Thatch raised his hand and said, "Sir, you can hide yourself in the dark, and so can the Revolutionary Army. That's why the World Government can't do anything to them, right?"

Joz frowned beside him, and Marco sighed and explained to him.

"Kulala!"

Whitebeard Newgate laughed out loud: "Silly son, your reaction is normal. It just so happens that this is the battle for the Four Emperors. This is probably also one of the goals of that brat."

"That's really...really courageous."

……

Above Mary Joa, only five days had passed, and the atmosphere among the powers that be had become heavy again.

The table top in the center of the sofa had already broken into pieces. It was obvious that these five people who held the highest power in the world were really angry.

"Meaningless!"

Nasujuro Sei, who had the hottest temper, stabbed the scabbard on the newspaper: "This thing must have come from those stinking rats in the gutter. How dare that bastard make his crime public? Does he know what this means?"

Maz Saint at the side slowly said: "Completely oppose the World Government? Isn't this what they have been doing all along?"

Vochuli said: "This group of people have long since given up the will to not fear death. This is something we have known for a long time. Now, what we need to discuss is the response strategy, not the impotent rage."

Incompetent rage?
Nasujuro Sei looked over, but eventually put the knife back into the scabbard and sat back on the sofa.

Ever since this newspaper was delivered, there has been a lot of noise among the powers that be.

The murder of the Celestial Dragons has always been a secret. Even though the middle and high-level officers of the Navy knew something about it, they also knew what they could say and what they could not say.

And now, this secret is known to the whole world, especially to those pirates who know nothing but can act lawless and recklessly.

Saint Satan closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

"Now we need to select the admiral of the navy as soon as possible."

Peter Saint nodded slightly: "It has always been the case that once the Celestial Dragons are in danger, the Navy must dispatch the admirals immediately, but the positions of the three admirals have been vacant for too long."

Saint Sartan opened his eyes. "Of the three strongest navy fighters in the past, Zephyr lost his inner will after his family was killed. Garp is not worth mentioning, and Sengoku has already been promoted to admiral."

"The Navy's top combat power is vacant. Before this, Borsalino was in charge of the safety of the Celestial Dragons as a vice admiral for a period of time in order to guard against the cloaked man."

"Given the speed of the Pixar-Pixar Fruit, he is still the first choice. Besides that, we also need someone who can really shock the pirates, otherwise the crazy pirates may become unstoppable."

There was silence between the powers for a moment.

The other four Five Elders were very clear about the meaning of Satan's words. The publication time of the second issue of the New Era Newspaper was so clever, so clever that the appearance of this newspaper would give the pirates new choices.

The entire Four Emperors incident seemed to have just started with them, and then the rest was completely out of control, running wildly in an unpredictable direction.

The pirates initially attacked the Marine branch and massacred towns, hoping to increase their own popularity and get newspapers to recognize them and give them the title of the fourth Pirate Emperor.

Following the first issue of the New Era Newspaper, the role of the Four Emperors title as bait was clearly explained, which made the crazy pirates turn around and challenge the three pirates who had confirmed the title.

Coincidentally at this point in time, the second issue of the New Age newspaper was published, exposing the fact that the cloaked man killed six celestial dragons.

In this way, it was foreseeable that the Celestial Dragons would become targets.

Perhaps those who are less courageous are still afraid of the status of nobles in the world of Celestial Dragons, but those arrogant people who, after gaining power, are like frogs in a well and have no idea of ​​the immensity of the world, will inevitably want to reach the top in one step.

Before this, it was already troublesome to prevent those guys from going to the Sabaody Archipelago because of the Cloaked Man.

This was because the body of Saint Samit was brought back to Mary Geoise, and its tragic state frightened those guys. Otherwise, there would be a lot of wrangling.

And now...

"We can't ban all Celestial Dragons from leaving Marijoa."

Maz Saint frowned: "And those pirates who seek fame are endless, unless..."

Saint Satan raised his hand to stop the rest of the conversation: "We exist for the balance of the ocean. The time has not come yet, and the situation has not reached that level either."

Saint Vochuli raised his head slightly and said, "Then what we need to discuss is the selection of the position of the admiral of the navy. Do we need to ask Sengoku about this?"

"unnecessary."

Saint Satan pondered for a moment and continued, "There have only been four monsters that came out of the Navy Headquarters Youth Training Camp in these years, Sakaski, Borsalino, Kuzan, and Kevin."

Peter Saint said: "Three out of four? In comparison, although Kevin is from our side, his qualifications are still too shallow."

Qualifications?

Saint Satan thought of the Baldigo incident a few days ago. After that sword was swung, seniority, which was already a big issue in the opposition to the Seven Warlords system, is probably now wiped out.

That kid seemed to have taken every step in the right place since entering the Marine Headquarters.

He colluded with Spandane to get through the early promotions, and later gained the qualification to meet them by opposing the Seven Warlords system.

This requires not only courage and ambition, but also a great deal of luck, just like this time...

"Sakaski was defeated and knocked unconscious by BiGMOM in the Wan Guo Sea not long ago. Although the woman did not dare to kill him, the incident was reported in the first issue of the New Era News."

Satan Saint paused and continued: "In this case, Sakaski's deterrence is somewhat insufficient."

Maz Saint on the side questioned: "That woman BiGMOM, even Kuzan, Borsalino, and Kevin can't compete with her at this stage, right?"

Saint Vorchuli also looked over and said, "Even in the Rocks Pirates, he was once a cadre. The time of growth is very different. Sakaski's combat power is not weak."

Nasujuro Sei: "Not only that, the three admirals all have natural abilities like natural disasters, which is also a deterrent to some extent. And Kevin... seems to be pure domineering and physical strength."

Among the Five Elder Stars, except for Saint Satan and Saint Pitt who did not speak, the other three held a skeptical attitude.

"He...has never been defeated by pirates before. This is the biggest factor."

Satan Saint gave a follow-up reason: "Even if we were defeated by Sakaski at the Navy Headquarters, that was something that happened before, and most of it was intentional."

"This situation spread to the Navy Headquarters, but most people were in awe. The high-ranking members of the Navy, such as Sengoku, saw it clearly."

Having said that, Saint Satan looked at the other four people.

"Don't forget the purpose of promoting this kid!"

purpose?

The purpose is that after serving as the naval marshal during the Warring States Period, the once obedient admiral no longer exists.

The awakening of the domineering Haki and the justice that dominates the world are both clear benchmarks.

A person from the World Government, who has been colluding with Spandine for such a long time and has considerable combat power, is more suitable than Sakaski. Although Sakaski behaves fairly obediently, his personality is not pleasing.

The most important reason for letting the three admirals appear in advance is to deter the pirates, but Sakaski was defeated and fell into a coma by BiGMOM not long ago.

"so be it."

"Promote Borsalino, Kuzan, and Kevin to the positions of the three admirals of the navy, and their responsibilities will include the safety of the Celestial Dragons."

"Borsalino will be the main mobile force, Kevin from the G5 branch will be responsible for deterring the New World pirates, and Kuzan will be responsible for blocking and eliminating them."

"Notify Marinford."

"No matter what, this incident against the Celestial Dragons must not be allowed to escalate further!"

"Also, have the CP agencies step up their investigation and follow-up on the New Era Newspaper. We must cut off the mouthpiece of these insects!"

……

East China Sea, Shuangyue Village.

As time went by, Kevin's swordsmanship had improved considerably. Although his progress was far behind those two monsters, Kuina and Zoro, he could still sense his own obvious progress.

After pressing today's portion of healing dandelion into Kuina's forehead, Kevin looked at the panting girl.

After Kuina recovered, Kevin suddenly asked, "You train so hard every day. Does Kuina have a dream of her own that she wants to realize?"

Upon hearing this, Kuina was stunned.

Kevin waved his hand and slapped another healing dandelion on Zoro's forehead.

"Snapped."

Amid the crisp sound, Zoro covered his forehead and grimaced.

This kind of differential treatment has happened more than once or twice. The guy in front of me is not a good person.

So...why am I not a girl?

Zoro turned his back and pinched his pectoral muscles thoughtfully.

At this time, Kuina looked up at Kevin and said, "I... want to prove to my father that I can also become a swordsman and a candidate to inherit the dojo."

Kevin shook his head slightly when he heard this.

"If that's all, maybe you will be defeated by Zoro in the future, Kuina. Just inheriting the dojo is not a dream."

The two looked at each other, and Kevin continued, "Zoron is a bit thick-skinned, but you should have felt that you are different, right? The changes in your body, what I bring to you is more than just recovery."

Kuina was silent for a while.

She was aware of the changes in her body. Her basic strength alone was much greater than before. Even before, even if she fell down the stairs, she would only feel dizzy.

At this level, inheriting the dojo is no longer just a dream. Because this dream is within reach.

At the very least, it has been a long time since my father looked at me with disappointment or said such disappointing words.

"Zoron!"

Zoro, who was pinching left and right, was stunned, turned around with a proud look on his face: "What? Are we going to start the 139th duel?"

Kuina shook her head slightly: "What is your dream?"

dream?

The mention of the dream made Zoro's eyes light up and he raised the knife in his hand.

"I will defeat you! After defeating you, I will go out to sea and challenge all kinds of swordsmen and great swordsmen on this sea!"

"One day, I will become the strongest swordsman in this sea, and let my name resound throughout the entire sea!"

With such bold words, it would probably fit the picture better if the other hand had not lifted up the short sleeve and put it inside.

But even so, Kuina was stunned.

The name resounds throughout the ocean?

So this...is considered a dream?
Kevin, who was watching this scene, threw a stone and hit Zoro on the back of his hand.

"Take your hands out. The world's greatest swordsman wouldn't touch himself."

Zoro looked indignant as he was being treated differently again.

Obviously, he spoke so gently to Kuina, which was a so-called encouragement to me.

"Domineering."

Kevin's voice immediately attracted the attention of the two little ghosts.

"The awakening of domineering comes from the firmness of one's own will, and dreams are naturally a kind of will. The will to never give up in pursuit of dreams can bring new strength."

After the words fell, Kevin stood up and patted Kuina's little head: "Go, it's just enlightenment at this stage. You can't miss the duel with Zoro today, right?"

Hearing this, Kuina was still thinking about what Kevin had just said, while Zoro on the side had already drawn out his sword with an excited look on his face.

"Come on, Kuina! Let's begin our 139th duel. I will never lose to you this time. I want to be the world's greatest swordsman!"

Kevin looked at the fanatical Zoro thoughtfully.

Speaking of which, if Kuina defeats Hawkeye Mihawk and becomes the world's greatest swordsman, then what Zoro said might be easily realized.

If he marries Kuina, won’t he become the world’s greatest swordsman?

The two little ghosts walked away, and Kevin smiled with a bit of evilness.

Until Koshiro appeared behind him, also holding the latest issue of the New Era newspaper in his hand.

"You are really brave."

Kevin glanced at him and said, "It doesn't matter if the situation is big or small, isn't it? They threw out the Four Emperors as bait, so naturally I can use them as well."

Koshiro exhaled, "In this case, those Celestial Dragons who were so high and mighty before this may be in danger."

"hehe."

Kevin replied: "You underestimate them. Although the celestial dragons of the Slugs are weak, there are many strong ones in the CP. Although they can't fight against big pirates like Whitebeard Newgate, they are not stupid enough to kill the celestial dragons. Fundamentally, they are different from us."

"There will be many ignorant and fearless pirates, but these guys may not be able to break through the CP agency's agents."

Hearing this, Koshiro asked in confusion: "The purpose of doing this is to pull them off the altar?"

Kevin smiled and didn't answer him.

Dragging the Celestial Dragons off the altar was naturally one of the reasons. With his own example of killing a Celestial Dragon and still being safe and sound, cracks naturally appeared in the Celestial Dragons' inviolable mythological golden body.

But the purpose is not just that.

Those who are high and mighty can be pulled down from their pedestals or even tortured and killed. This has an immeasurable impact on the inner consciousness of resistance among the people of the world.

Under such circumstances, the development of various regions of the Revolutionary Army will be smoother, which is an overall blessing to the Revolutionary Army.

There will be new reports in the New Era Daily in the future. The newspaper will be radical while the radio will be low-key and subtle. This is the policy set by the expanded meeting not long ago.

Seeing that Kevin was silent, Koshiro also changed the subject.

Bowing slightly, Koshiro thanked: "Kuina has changed a lot, thanks to your care all the time."

Kevin replied: "It's just that the education method is wrong. Otherwise, this child's future is not necessarily worse than Zoro. The female swordsmen I know are not worse than male ones."

Koshiro responded with a smile on his face.

Kevin waved his hand: "That's all for today, let's go."

The moment the words fell, the person also disappeared from the spot.

……

After the Baldigo incident, Uncle Bear and Ginny's wedding had to be postponed.

The East China Sea remained silent. The newly appointed commander of the Revolutionary Army's East Army, Belo Betty, had many issues to hand over to Ginny.

Although Belo Beti was the deputy commander of the Eastern Army before, she still didn't know what the commander held, and now a complete handover was needed.

There is also the Sky Island Headquarters. Vegapunk has urged them three times, and the new headquarters has been busy for the past five days, but there are still many things that have not been done.

As the head of the logistics troop, Uncle Bear was drafted into the army directly because of the convenience of the ability of the Meat-Glob Fruit.

The wedding...naturally had to be postponed.

Kevin had just returned to the G5 branch, and not long after his shadow clone dissipated, the Den Den Mushi on the desk connected to Marinford began to ring.

"Bulu Bulu..."

"Click."

"Lieutenant General Kevin, have you read the latest issue of the New Era?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin's face straightened.

"The serious crime of killing the Celestial Dragons was actually made public. The existence of the New Era Newspaper is obvious. The criminals of the Revolutionary Army are so bold, so are they going to take action?"

Before Zhan Guo could speak, Kevin continued, "The action a few days ago allowed that bastard to escape. If we have a way to limit his teleportation ability, we can definitely kill this criminal!"

The series of righteous words made Zhan Guo a little stunned.

At the same time, the five old men who had the power to monitor the call also relaxed a little.

Sure enough, our own people are more reliable.

"Cough cough."

Zhan Guo coughed twice to calm down. He reacted after just a reminder. This kid is really smart.

"The headquarters is also currently tracking the New Era News. In addition, in order to deal with this incident, the Navy has decided... to advance the appointment of the three admirals."
