People are sailing, monster hunters are fighting in groups

East China Sea, Manershie Island.

Because this island is located between two kingdoms, the Navy built the 146th branch here.

In the southeast of the island, in front of a huge kendo field, a man carrying a long sword and holding a newspaper slowly knocked on the quaint door in front of him.

Squeak~

A primary school student opened the door and saw the man, and said respectfully: "Are you Mr. Mihawk who came to exchange and learn with a visiting card?"

Mihawk put away the newspaper, looked down at the little guy, nodded and said: "Yes, it's me, is Mr. Swordsman Nile here?"

"Well, the teacher has been waiting for you in the dojo for a long time!"

"In that case, then I'll bother you!"

Mihawk responded calmly, put the newspaper in his pocket, and then walked into the kendo field under the guidance of the primary school student.

At this time, there were still many apprentices in the dojo practicing sword swinging. When they saw Mihawk, their eyes were slightly stunned.

Under the eaves not far away, a middle-aged man with a resolute face smiled.

"Mr. Mihawk, you are here!"

Mihawk nodded at the man, and then said: "Yes, Mr. Niller, I am here for the appointment!"

The smile on Niller's face became brighter again. He raised his hand and picked up the sword next to the chair, and then whispered: "Liang Kuai Dao Shi Yu... Please teach me!"

The duel between swordsmen does not need much words.

Since it has been agreed long ago, it is a waste of time to say more nonsense.

Ten minutes later, a slash flew out from the kendo field, splitting the gate of the dojo and turning several houses around into ruins.

A few minutes later, Niller was pressed out by a slash and smashed into a shop, directly knocking the unlucky boss to death in the house.

Then, Mihawk walked out of the dilapidated dojo gate with an expressionless face, and slowly put the exaggerated big sword in his hand into the buckle behind him.

"I won, Mr. Nile, according to the agreement, please tell me the whereabouts of a powerful swordsman you know..."

Soon after, Mihawk got the answer and nodded to Nile very calmly, and walked directly to the 146th Navy Branch on the island.

As he walked, he took out the newspaper and read it.

At the same time, many people in many places in the world kept the same action as him.

On this day, the sales of the World Economic News reached a new peak after the news of Pirate King Roger.

New World, Wano Country Sea.

Roger, wearing a mask, sat on a lounge chair on the deck of an airship, also reading the newspaper leisurely.

Although this airship, like the one Lu Jiu was riding at the time, was improved from the weather ship technology of Visalia on the Little Sky Island, as a civilian product, it could not be compared with the military airship in terms of comfort and stability.

But Roger obviously didn't care too much about these.

"Tsk tsk tsk, is it the World Conference again? I didn't realize it's already this time..."

Roger smacked his lips while flipping through the newspaper, and when he turned to the next page, he was stunned.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea Plan? What is this?"

At this moment, Albert slowly walked out of the cabin with two bottles of wine in his hands.

When he saw Roger reading a newspaper, he said, "Oh? This morning's newspaper? You are so engrossed in reading it, is there any big news?"

Roger ignored Albert and read softly to the newspaper: "... Recruiting seven famous pirates from all over the world to become legal armed pirates under the World Government. All armed pirates, whether they are themselves or their subordinates, will be pardoned for all previous crimes and have the qualifications to plunder legally... Such a policy can help the government control the New World..."

Hearing Roger's murmur, Albert raised his eyebrows.

Then he placed a bottle of wine in his hand next to Roger, and said with a smile: "Now the whole sea has gradually lost control. It seems that the World Government agreed to the large-scale conscription while preventing the navy from becoming too big, so it did this..."

"You should be right to think so, but there should also be the intention of dividing the pirate power... Seven Warlords of the Sea... Speaking of which, don't you have one in your Beasts Pirates?" Roger nodded first, then took a sip of the wine bottle and said with a little sarcasm.

"Don't mention that kind of idiot anymore. Which Seven Warlords of the Sea do you think will really work for the World Government?"

AlbertHe picked up a recliner from the fence, spread it out and lay down directly, saying, "But speaking of it, the World Government has come up with such a thing, I am really a little interested."

"What? Are you going to intervene in the position of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Roger asked with a smile.

"Yes, I do want to intervene, but not now..."

Albert is not a fool. He learned through Vergo and Spandine that the Navy is holding its breath because of this matter. With the character of Sengoku and others, they will accept it, but the probability of secretly making a move and tripping them up is very high.

Isn't Ramanda a good example?

It's not that the Seven Warlords of the Sea cannot be replaced. If you get involved now, it will be a complete gift to the Navy.

But Albert is unwilling. There are still many fools on the sea who want to compete.

After all, once the World Government endorses and becomes the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you don't have to consider the threat of the Navy for the time being. At that time, you just need to seize the time to deal with your colleagues.

Even with the official connection, after exchanging what they have, they have great advantages in developing power, expanding their foundation, or recruiting talents.

It's really nice to think about it carefully.

"Okay, what are your plans, it's none of my business! What I want to do most now is to see Lu Jiu as soon as possible. I don't know how she is living in Wano Country..."

Although his face was blocked by the mask, the sour smell emanating from Roger still made Albert roll his eyes.

This bastard...

(By the way, does anyone remember the host An in the movie version of One Piece: Stampede? What do you think if that person becomes Roger's daughter? Nothing else, mainly because the elements are too good)
