Marine Headquarters's huge conference room.
Marshal Sengoku was sitting in his seat, scanning everyone present with his sharp eyes, and then coughed hard. "Cough! I believe you are all very clear about the purpose of this meeting. That's right! According to Five Elders At the request of, the Navy will use the public execution of Ace as bait to launch a full-scale war against Whitebeard Pirates and thereby re-establish the majesty of World Government."
"If we start a war against Whitebeard Pirates, won't Red-Haired, Hundred Beasts and Demon Pirates intervene? Especially Sea Devil Allen seems to be very active in recent times and has also captured Blueprint of the Ancient Weapon Pluton." Momonga Vice Admiral raised a question that everyone is particularly concerned about.
After all, since New World formed the Four Emperors pattern, the policy pursued by the Navy for a long time has been to let the One Pieces kill each other and maintain the balance by themselves.
If there is a head-on battle with a certain Four Emperor Pirate Crews, it is difficult to guarantee that the other three Pirate Crew will not take advantage of the chaos.
"Don't worry about this for the time being. According to the information we have, Beasts Kaido has been severely damaged and will not leave Wano Country easily in a short time. With Red-Haired's character, he should not be involved in such a thing. The only thing worth worrying about is Allen. Five Elders said they will take care of it. This means that the only enemy in front of us is Whitebeard Pirates." Sengoku gave a straightforward explanation.
Although he also wanted to know what method Five Elders would use to ensure that Allen would stay out of the matter, but since the other party had given a guarantee, he had no other choice but to believe it.
"That's it!" Momonga nodded thoughtfully.
"Where is Aokiji? Is there no news about him yet?" Akainu asked, holding his chin.
"Sorry, we don't have any news about him yet. If nothing else happens, he should have died." Crane Vice Admiral sighed slightly, with a sad expression on his face.
Not only her, but almost everyone in the conference room had similar emotions to some extent.
Except for Smoker, who had just been promoted to major general, no one else knew that the "dead" they were mourning did not actually die, but chose to abandon the navy to realize the justice they believed in their hearts.
After a brief silence, Marshal Sengoku broke the silence again, tapped the table gently and said, "In order to deal with this war of unprecedented scale, from now on I order all generals and officers to be summoned around the world. At the same time, we are looking for a few capable Pirate Crew to fill the vacancy of His Majesty the King Seven Warlords."
Due to Allen's heavy blow, almost half of Seven Warlords was now destroyed.
Among them, Moonlight·Moria died in battle.
Crocodile, who lost Sand-Sand Fruit, was imprisoned in Impel Down prison and was already a useless person.
Empress Boya Hancock and her Kuja Pirates daughters Warriors are sweating in the Utopia mine to undergo labor reform, and they probably won't be released for a while.
Revolutionary Army Bartholomew Bear has changed his original plan to undergo the final transformation and is ready to strike back at any time.
As for Hawk Eyes, it has long been the main force of Demon Pirates.
If you add Jinbe, Fish-Men, who will definitely refuse to participate in the war...
The only combat power the navy can recruit is Don Quixote Doflamingo and Marshall D. Teach, who have ulterior motives.
The latter, in particular, has set its sights on the serious criminals imprisoned in Impel Down prison.
While the navy was discussing which One Piece to recruit to fill the vacancy of His Majesty King Seven Warlords, in Alabasta's palace, Straw Hat Pirates was accepting the hospitality from King.
"Hahahaha! Eat to your heart's content! Drink! Don't be polite! After all, you are the heroes who saved this country." Cobra expressed his gratitude to these young people with a smile.
He did not even tell his daughter about the changes taking place within this ancient country.
However, Princess Vivi was obviously not a vegetarian, and he clearly noticed something strange inside the palace.
While his companions were immersed in the joy of victory, he quietly came to his father's side and asked in a low voice, "Father, who are those strangers in the conference room? Why are there suddenly some guys I don't know in the palace?"
"Oh? Did you notice it?" A trace of relief flashed in Cobra's eyes.
"Tell me! What happened in this country?" Vivi clenched his fists nervously.
Cobra chuckled and comforted, "Relax, my child, this is actually not a bad thing. To tell you the truth, I have reached an agreement with the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army. From now on, the royal family will no longer hold power and will only exist as the nominal head of state. The real power will be transferred down to the parliament composed of civilians. In other words, the future of this country is controlled by the people themselves, not one or two King or princesses."
"Wha... what?!"
Princess Vivi looked like he was under a body-fixing spell. He was so frightened by this shocking news that he was speechless.
After all, the education she received since childhood was that the royal family has the heavy responsibility to protect this country.
But now, all these rights and rights have disappeared, and naturally there will be a strong sense of emptiness and discomfort.
"Haha, that's right! This means that you don't need to take on the responsibilities of a princess and can pursue something you desire. For example, join Straw Hat Pirates, follow these energetic young people on adventures, and do whatever you want." Cobra glanced at Luffy who was engrossed in eating with a smile.
If it hadn't been for Long's personal recognition, he wouldn't have believed that this particularly funny-looking young man had such a prominent identity and family background.
"You... you support me to become a One Piece?" Vivi opened his mouth in disbelief.
"Why not? My child, this world is about to usher in an unprecedented change. Whether it is a world noble like Celestial Dragons who does all evil, or a royal family like us who work hard to govern the country, they will eventually withdraw from the stage of history. Without rights, naturally there is no need to bear such heavy responsibilities. Here, this is the last thing I can do for you as a father."
After that, Cobra took out a very familiar Devil Fruit from his arms.
To be precise, it was Sand-Sand Fruit that Crocodile ate.
You don't need to ask to know that this fruit is what he asked for from Allen, and it is also the reward for his active cooperation in handing over his rights.
Looking at the powerful Logia Devil Fruit in front of him, Vivi felt that his brain was in chaos.
Just when she was confused, Cobra pointed at Allen standing in the garden outside the palace and whispered, "If you have any doubts or puzzles, you can try to ask that man. I believe he will give you a satisfactory answer."
