Zephyr's Nuclear Blackmail!

Crocodile did indeed make a good suggestion.

Zephyr's only advantage is the Dyna Stone.

This thing is indeed incredibly powerful; it can destroy an island in an instant.

However, Zephyr couldn't just use Dyna Stone indiscriminately.

Without knowing who the mastermind is, could he really just randomly detonate explosives?

Even a madman wouldn't do such a thing, let alone a principled and upright person like Zephyr.

Of course, if Zephyr finds out who's behind this, then things will be different.

So Crocodile contacted Ian to share the risk.

He even asked Ian to contact the Charlotte Family and his most respected Teacher Kai.

With multiple forces joining forces, even if Zephyr manages to figure out who's behind this, the risk of retaliation is much lower.

He couldn't possibly blow everyone up, could he?

Ian also thought it was a great idea, so he actually contacted Aunt Linlin and Teacher Kai.

As for Whitebeard, there's absolutely no need to contact him.

The Whitebeard Pirates didn't even have a real base of operations, so the NEO Marines couldn't bomb them even if they wanted to.

Aunt Linlin was somewhat displeased with Ian's contact, after all, her unborn child was still in Ian's hands.

However, she was also very interested in the Dyna Stone, so she readily agreed to Ian's suggestion.

Hatred is hatred, and interests are interests; that's the nature of the great pirates of this world.

As for Teacher Kai, needless to say, Ian fully represented his opinions.

Thus, the joint operation of the Beasts Pirates, the Charlotte Family, and the Cross Guild began.

The three forces found several powerful pirate crews in the New World.

To be honest, this is quite difficult, since there are really not many pirates with any real strength left in the New World.

Fortunately, after some effort, we did find some results.

After some coercion and enticement, these pirates headed towards the waters occupied by the NEO Marines.

All they have to do next is destroy.

At the same time, Ian and his group had already begun their operation.

They have already headed towards the waters where the NEO Marines is located.

If Zephyr is truly forced out, then what needs to be done next is quite simple.

Each person relies on their own abilities.

Whoever grabs the Dyna Stone gets to keep it.

The foreshore waters of the New World.

The enormous, Thriller Bark sailed silently on the sea.

Where's Moria?

Shiryu entered the conference room and, seeing that Crocodile was alone, asked with some surprise.

"I sent him to find Ryde."

Crocodile said calmly, "They get along alright."

He was absolutely right. Although Ryde kept claiming to be a solitary strongman, he actually longed for companions.

Coincidentally, that bastard Moria also values his comrades very much, and because he didn't want to go through the pain of losing his former comrades, he was only willing to use zombies to fight for him.

The two got along quite well in some ways.

"Will this really work?"

Shiryu casually asked, "If we really had to compete with the Beasts Pirates or the Charlotte Family for it, we probably wouldn't have the upper hand at all."

"It doesn't matter."

Crocodile said, "There's more than one Dyna Stone, there are so many, aren't there?"

"If we can grab even a few, it will already be a victory for us!"

A cold smile crept across his lips. "Don't forget, we still have World!"

"Hahaha! Yeah! And World too!"

Shiryu also burst into laughter.

World's More-More Fruit allows one Dyna Stone to be used as a hundred!

In a certain sea area of New World, a pirate ship, singing, sails through the waves.

"Mama, Mama!"

If Ian were here, he would be quite startled.

Because Aunt Linlin, who was standing at the bow of the boat, had lost a lot of weight since their last encounter.

While she might not be described as slim, she was certainly lean and fit.

"It would be really interesting to make Homie out of Dyna Stone!"

Aunt Linlin burst into laughter.

"With those stones, it doesn't matter if we don't have the support of the Giant tribe!"

The Golden Flying Dragon flies through the sky.

Thanks to the bear's abilities, even though Hachinosu Island, where Ian is located, is the furthest from the NEO Marines's area, they can still get there quickly.

Ian stood at the bow of the large ship, facing the howling wind. "So, Mr. Zephyr, how will you deal with this?"

He didn't think Zephyr would show himself so easily and let them succeed.

Maybe something really interesting will happen.

As they began their operation, others also learned of the news.

"Those disgusting guys actually teamed up?"

Mary Geoise, the Gorosei reunite.

"But they might actually be able to force Zephyr out."

"Have the Navy follow up. If Zephyr really appears, then we absolutely cannot let the Dyna Stone fall into the hands of pirates!!"

The Dyna Stone Dyna Stone is dangerous enough on its own. If it falls into the hands of a group of reckless and arrogant pirates, it's hard to imagine what will happen next.

Therefore, the navy was immediately mobilized.

The winds of change began to converge on the seas occupied by the NEO Marines.

The moment for everything to begin has finally arrived.

NEO Marines's territory.

As a regular military force, the soldiers of the NEO Marines naturally receive salaries.

They naturally need income as well.

As an army that prides itself on being truly righteous, the NEO Marines certainly wouldn't gain profits through plunder.

Therefore, at this time, the NEO Marines and the Pirate Emperor were doing something similar: providing protection to certain countries in exchange for their rewards.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Meanwhile, on an island occupied by the NEO Marines, a city on the coast was engulfed in flames, and pirates wielding swords and spears were slaughtering and looting with abandon.

On the sea, a NEO Marines warship is gradually sinking.

"Get that Zephyr guy out here, you bastard!"

At the city's highest point, the pirate captain, brandishing a large sword, laughed arrogantly, "Dyna Stone comparable to Ancient Weapon —only the strong deserve to possess such a thing!"

"Make him hand over everything obediently!"

"Otherwise, we'll flatten this sea!!"

"Oh oh oh!!"

Chaos and carnage instantly spread across this sea area.

The pirates, carefully selected by the three major pirate crews, are naturally quite powerful.

Each captain has a bounty of over 300 million, with the highest bounty approaching 500 million.

When they unite, they are completely beyond the resistance of the NEO Marines stationed in this area.

Even the Division Vice Admiral who followed Zephyr in their defection were utterly powerless to fight them, except for Gion and the former commander of G-5 base.

This group of pirates could be described as running rampant in this sea area, destroying three cities in a short period of time.

Somewhere on the sea in this area.

Inside a large, seemingly ordinary merchant ship.

"Teacher Zephyr!"

The Gion Vice Admiral slammed his hand anxiously on the sea chart spread out in front of him. "Another city has been destroyed. What should we do now?"

"Quickly send troops to punish them!"

Zephyr, who had styled his purple hair upside down with hair wax and looked quite irritable, did not answer directly.

He simply flipped through the stack of Bounty Poster in his hand.

"Unless you lead the team yourself, eliminating these pirates won't be easy."

Zephyr spoke calmly.

"Then let me go over there, Teacher Zephyr!"

Gion shouted, "I'm going to take care of these guys!"

"No."

Zephyr shook his head. "Too dangerous."

"Danger?"

Gion was somewhat puzzled.

How dangerous can a pirate with a bounty of only a little over 400 million Beli be?

That's about the level of high-ranking officers under the Pirate Emperor.

Gion believed that dealing with guys of this caliber would be a piece of cake, one slash and they'd be dead.

"Our whereabouts must not be revealed."

Zephyr said seriously, "It's impossible to determine at the moment whether this is just a simple pirate attack or someone is testing us."

"This..."

Gion hesitated for a moment as well.

She was well aware that if their whereabouts were exposed, the World Government and the monsters of the New World would tear them to pieces in an instant.

The Dyna Stone is so alluring precisely because it is so dangerous.

"We can't just do nothing, Teacher Zephyr!"

Gion gritted her teeth.

While in the Navy, I couldn't truly uphold justice; now that I've left the Navy, am I still unable to uphold justice?

Then wasn't the navy's defection for nothing?

Zephyr slammed the wanted Bounty Poster on the table, scoffed, and said, "If it's inconvenient for us to handle this ourselves, then we'll have someone else do it for us."

"Ah?"

Gion was taken aback.

Marine Headquarters.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku is closely monitoring the situation at the front.

That old bastard Garp personally intervened once again.

Borsalino and Sakazuki acted in his favor.

It can be said that the navy has deployed all its available forces this time.

The goal was to defeat the NEO Marines while preventing the Dyna Stone from falling into the hands of the New World pirates.

But at that moment, the Den Den Den Mushi) on his desk suddenly rang.

"Um?"

Sengoku was slightly startled. Could it be that something had happened at the front?

He quickly picked up the Den Den Mushi and answered Den Den Mushi, and then a voice came out that he never expected.

"Has the navy already begun operations Sengoku?"

Sengoku's eyes widened, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets and shattering his glasses.

He almost instantly lost his voice, "Zephyr?"

The Marine Fleet Admiral never expected to receive a call from Zephyr at this crucial moment!

"Zephyr! What exactly do you want to do!"

He roared almost instinctively, "Isn't it time to stop? Do you really want to destroy the world?"

"The World Government cannot represent the world! What I seek is true justice, justice that belongs to the majority!"

Zephyr said, "Alright, enough of the boring small talk, let's get down to business."

"What?"

Sengoku was taken aback again. At this point, what serious business could they possibly have left to discuss?

"That bastard Borsalino should be near the area we control by now, right?"

Zephyr said, "I don't think you'll just pretend you didn't see those pirates' high-profile actions."

Sengoku's heart skipped a beat. As expected of Zephyr, had he completely anticipated their actions?

He didn't answer immediately, but wanted to hear what Zephyr had to say next.

"So,"

Zephyr's voice was indifferent, "Let Borsalino deal with those pirates."

"What?"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku slammed his fist on the table and stood up instantly, shattering the recently replaced desk into pieces once again. He said incredulously,

"Zephyr! What did you say?"

Are you crazy?!

This guy Zephyr actually sent the Navy to deal with those pirates?

No, have you forgotten that you've already left the Navy?

Then, Sengoku heard Zephyr say this.

"You can also choose to refuse. In that case, one day I will climb the Red Line and throw a Dyna Stone at the Celestial Dragons ' settlement."

"Zephyr!!"

Sengoku exclaimed in shock, "Are you insane?"

"The Celestial Dragons are the most inhuman beings in this world."

Zephyr's voice was colder than Sengoku had ever heard before. "That's probably their only use."

"..."

The Sengoku was dumbfounded.

This is insane!

Zephyr is completely insane!

"Refuse or accept, Sengoku, tell me your answer."

The Sengoku fell silent.

The news quickly reached Mary Geoise again.

Then.

"Damn scum!!!"

The Gorosei were furious, their beards bristling and eyes wide with rage. "Who does he think he is! He actually dares to threaten the World Government!"

"Let him come!!"

Pistol, in the red suit, gritted his teeth in anger. "I'd like to see if he can actually throw the Dyna Stone into Mary Geoise!"

"So, we're going to take a gamble?"

The Gorosei, dressed in white Daoist robes, pushed up their glasses and suddenly spoke.

The spacious conference room suddenly fell silent.

Want to gamble?

Want to take a gamble with that Zephyr guy?

"Damn it!!"

Warcury's teeth were grinding together.

Of course, it's impossible to gamble with the lives of a great Celestial Dragons against a bunch of lowly commoners.

then.

Not long after.

NEO Marines's territory.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Pirate ships surged onto the island's coast, the ferocious pirates laughing wildly, ready to unleash their violence upon the city.

But suddenly, a dazzling light descended from the sky.

Boom!!

The entire coastline, along with the ships anchored along the shore, was blown to smithereens.

"As expected of Teacher Zephyr."

The light in the sky converged into the shape of Kizaru, who scratched his head and flicked his fingers, sending beams of laser light crashing down onto the beach below, causing explosion after explosion.

"We were completely fooled."

Not long after.

Queen Mama Chanter

"What?"

Charlotte Linlin was incredulous upon seeing the latest intelligence. "Kizaru went out and took care of that group of pirates?"

"What is the Navy up to?!"

"So,"

Perospero clicked his tongue. "Did we come all this way for nothing?"

The Thriller Bark.

"Hahaha, now the scheme has completely failed!"

Shiryu heartily, "Crocodile, it seems like we made a wasted trip!"

Crocodile remained silent.

The Golden Flying Dragon.

"Truly worthy of being called Mr. Zephyr."

Ian was laughing too, "Nuclear blackmail is on the horizon!"

Obviously, the Navy wouldn't have intervened to help Zephyr unless they were threatened.

"What's so funny?"

Luo rolled his eyes. "Didn't this just mean a wasted trip?"

"Ian, you messed up."

"Was it smashed?"

Ian's lips curled into a smile. "I feel like this is just the beginning."

It seems the trick has failed, so let's try a simpler approach.

Ian turned to look at Enel and Violet.

I couldn't guarantee it before, but at this crucial moment, Zephyr and the others shouldn't be too far from this area, right?

Take your time looking.
