Starting: Sakazuki
After the West Blue Alliance's warships left the Marine Headquarters, the inside story of former West Blue Admiral Seizer's sparring match with Marine Admiral Aokiji quickly spread throughout the seas.
This news was naturally leaked secretly by the West Blue Alliance. On the high seas, Kuzan's prestige was undoubtedly much higher than Seizer's.
The draw demonstrates that Seizer's strength is no less than Kuzan's, undoubtedly greatly enhancing the prestige of the West Blue Alliance.
The West Blue Alliance team has now headed to Fish-Man Island and will arrive in the New World soon.
At the same time, Bakin was also in a hurry to leave.
Women's menstrual cycles are generally consistent, and even a monster like Big Mom only has negligible negative effects.
Three days was the limit of what Bakin could endure. If she couldn't leave, she would really worry whether the Big Mom Pirates had ulterior motives.
Fortunately, the Big Mom Pirates did not stop them, allowing them to leave smoothly. They gave them a sailboat that only two people could operate, and also gave them some things before they left, especially some delicious food.
"They've left, Mom!" Cake Castle, a group of children and cadres stood.
"I remember that brat who used lava was in the New World, right?" Big Mom squinted, pondering, then grabbed a dessert Homie from the small table next to her and popped it into her mouth.
"That's right. Currently, the Navy is guarded in the New World by Admiral Akainu to ensure the Navy's deterrent power in the New World and to secretly expand the Navy's area of operation. This has been the case since the war between the Navy and the Beasts Pirates, but they haven't dared to come to our territory yet."
"I have information about the Big Mom Pirates, "Mondo continued.
"Then let them run into each other, and we'll make our move later. Weevil needs to live, Bakin must die. That should be fine, right?" The tone was unquestionable, reflecting Big Mom's attitude.
In reality, the best way to kill Bakin and make Weevil hate the Navy was to use the Navy's power, but it was very troublesome in practice.
"Mom, that woman Bakin is very cunning. First, she wants them to get close to the navy's territory, and then she wants the navy to get the news."
"However, based on my understanding of Bakin, this woman will definitely squander all her wealth first, and most likely she will go directly to the Night Sea Domain, which has happened several times already."
"Unless there's something to attract her, like treasure or something."
"We can also inform the Night Pirates about this matter. With Night Pirates help, things should go much more smoothly."
Mondo analyzed the situation and offered his own suggestions.
"No matter what, I need to see Weevil appear before me in the end. I don't care about the means or procedures; I will take action myself in the end."
"Otherwise, you know it." The chilling voice suddenly filled the air with a coldness that seemed to freeze the soul. Big Mom only cared about the final result; she didn't care what her children did in the meantime.
There is no failure, only success, unless they want to be deprived of their lifespan; no one wants to endure such suffering.
Some of them suffered punishment for their mistakes, but in the end, Big Mom restored their lifespans at the request of their other siblings.
But once you've experienced the pain of being taken from someone, you never want to go through it again.
"Yes, Mom!"
Big Mom left, and she stroked her belly, which hadn't changed at all. During this time, she needed to focus on nurturing the baby, as it was Whitebeard's bloodline and needed to be carefully cared for.
The Charlotte Family held a meeting and quickly decided to inform the Night Pirates order to gain their support and ensure the smooth progress of the plan.
The two sides were still in their honeymoon period, so the Night Pirates naturally wouldn't refuse such a thing, having already guessed the Big Mom Pirates' purpose.
"Cooperate with them, we can't let the Navy be too complacent." This was Teach's order. He didn't want the sea to be too stable. Since the Big Mom Pirates were willing to take action, he would naturally provide support and remain calm and collected from behind the scenes.
The massive machine began to operate, and the Night Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates joined forces to weave a huge net, casting it towards Bakin and Weevil without them noticing.
The plan cannot be executed too early; there needs to be a time lag. Otherwise, suspicion will easily fall on the Big Mom Pirates. Besides, some preparations also require time.
And so, two months later, the carefree Bakin and Weevil, having squandered their entire fortune of Beli, left the Night Sea Domain.
Guided in secret, they arrived near the front of the New World and inadvertently learned of a great treasure—the treasure of a Great Pirate from many years ago.
It sank to the bottom of the sea by accident, but now the shipwreck has been salvaged, and a large amount of treasure has been unearthed.
Now, the pirates who salvaged the shipwreck are waiting for someone to take over the treasure and find a buyer to sell it to.
The news was inadvertently leaked and learned of it by many pirates in the vicinity. They greedily surrounded the treasure, wanting to plunder it and divide it among themselves.
With his hands empty and only his jewelry remaining, Bakin naturally wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by. He led Weevil to the island called Usu.
"Go, son, let's seize the treasure and kill anyone who stands in our way."
Bakin shouted excitedly, pointing his cane to the sky.
"Yes, Mom!" Weevil replied earnestly.
"What are you standing there for? You idiot son, get back to rowing!" Seeing that Weevil didn't move, Bakin angrily smacked Weevil's leg.
How can a sailboat's self-propelled speed compare to Weevil's manual rowing speed?
Time was of the essence; if they arrived too late, the treasures would be out of their reach, something Bakin could not accept.
The entire treasure's appearance was flawless, easily attracting Bakin and Weevil at the opportune moment.
Such intelligence and organizational capabilities are truly astonishing, demonstrating that the Night Pirates' intelligence capabilities have improved dramatically in recent days.
The Big Mom Pirates were secretly observing all of this, unaware of how the Night Pirates had accomplished it.
With everything prepared, the next protagonist in this incident is the Navy.
For the Big Mom Pirates, sending a message to the Navy was incredibly easy.
Big Mom's vast intelligence network had gathered considerable information about the Navy's spies in the New World, but she didn't care because it didn't interfere with their interests.
Now it's just the right time to use it.
The information about Bakin and Weevil's objectives was inadvertently revealed to a naval spy in the New World.
The news quickly reached Admiral Akainu.
"Is the information correct?" Sakazuki asked, his gaze fixed on the nautical chart, settling on the location of Uso Island.
Calculating the distance, it's not far; this island is located at the forefront of the New World.
If it were the central part of the New World, he would hesitate, but in the front part of the New World, there would be no need to hesitate; Sakazuki is not that kind of person.
"That should be right. There's also news about the treasure on Uso Island. Bakin and Weevil always leave to plunder more treasure after they've squandered it all on the Night Pirates. This time, their goal is also that treasure."
It received approval from the General Staff Department.
Sakazuki quickly made up his mind, "Then inform the Marshal that I will launch a manhunt for Weevil and Bakin, and while we're at it, eliminate the pirates who were lured to Uso Island by the treasure."
Sakazuki, faced with such an opportunity, would not let it slip by easily.
"Prepare the warships, we're setting off immediately."
The order was given, and little changed at the G3 Branch; a warship quietly left the port.
The island guarded by Admiral Akainu is the G3 Branch. The G3 Branch is located in the middle of the other four branches, making it convenient to support any of them.
The G2 Branch is located in the northern part of the New World, the G4 Branch is located in the southern part of the New World, and the G5 Branch is located deepest into the New World, close to the center of the New World.
The plan worked. Sakazuki's whereabouts could not be hidden from the Big Mom Pirates, who had been secretly watching. The Water Homie were perfectly hidden in the seawater and would not lose their effectiveness when they came into contact with seawater.
This is also one of the more powerful characteristics of Homie. As beings created by abilities, they are inherently superior to zombies and evil spirits, and they do not have the weakness of seawater.
Everything proceeded as planned.
Uso Island is an ordinary island in the New World. It has few resources, only a small town, and is home to many pirates, whose ships frequently pass by.
Such islands are common in the New World, because the New World is a paradise for pirates.
This island suddenly became the center of a certain sea area.
A pirate crew discovered an astonishing treasure in a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. The vast amount of treasure, worth at least a billion Beli, was enough to attract attention and ignited the greed of many pirates.
Especially considering that the pirate captain who possesses this treasure only has a bounty of just over 100 million, a bounty that can barely sustain him in the New World.
A weak person given a great deal of treasure is nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.
A pack of hyenas was heading towards Uso Island, but among them were fierce tigers like Weevil.
Within just two days, Uso Island descended into chaos, with fierce fighting erupting as people vied for control of the treasure.
Pirates kept coming, and the treasure was divided up and stolen by several pirate crews or lone wolves, changing hands several times.
The pirates who had stolen the treasure wanted to leave, but they had no way to do so. It was just a small island, and it was difficult to hide. As soon as they had the idea of escaping, they would be gathered together by others.
Pirates are greedy and selfish; many believe that if they can't have it, no one else should either.
Finally, Bakin and Weevil arrived at the island, and thanks to Weevil's hard work...
"You'd better hand over your treasure obediently, or we won't show you any mercy."
The arrival of the two men brought the fighting on the island to an immediate halt. Everyone stared in terror at the two men, or rather, at Weevil alone.
Weevil's behavior was even more pirate-like than that of a pirate; he was nothing more than a plunderer and destroyer, leaving ruins in his wake wherever he went under Bakin's leadership.
Pirates, wealthy merchants, and residents—they'll rob anyone they encounter who possesses wealth. Of course, this applies outside the Night Sea Domain and outside the territories of the various top pirate crews. As for other forces, Bakin, who holds Weevil in his hands, has no scruples whatsoever.
"Mom! Why aren't they moving?"
Weevil was somewhat puzzled. "If we don't move, we'll have to take matters into our own hands and kill them all."
As he spoke, Weevil's expression turned fierce, and a terrifying power gathered in the small knife in his hand.
Without the slightest hesitation, before the others could react, a terrifying shockwave swept in from afar, instantly engulfing the figures.
The terrifying force crushed the bodies of these pirates, splattering blood everywhere. By the time others reacted, the ground had been subjected to an astonishing "baptism," leaving a deep trench.
The aftershocks alone sent many pirates flying, severely injuring them.
Now, they had absolutely no chance of getting away with it.
"Run! Run!"
At this point, they no longer cared about the treasure and fled in droves, leaving behind a huge amount of wealth. Of course, some of this treasure was also secretly taken away by others.
This is the deterrent effect of absolute power.
"Good son, quickly gather all these treasures." Seeing the dazzling gold and jewels, Bakin's sunglasses gleamed as he excitedly directed Weevil.
"Hurry up, or we'll attract the navy and that would be terrible."
"Okay, Mom!" Weevil knew the value of the treasure; it could make his mother happy, it could feed him well, and no one could take it away from them.
Soon, Weevil collected a large amount of treasure and carried it on his back in a large cloth bag.
"Keep going! There's still treasure on the island, and those little pirates have more too. Don't think I don't know just because they've hidden some. All the treasure is mine."
Bakin was beaming with excitement, her face as radiant as a chrysanthemum. Tempted by the treasure, she wasn't in a hurry to leave, as it would take the navy quite some time to arrive after receiving news of her.
The treasures looted from this island won't last long.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Bakin looked up and his expression changed.
The sky above seemed to have turned into fiery clouds, with solidified Magma Fist falling from the sky and landing on the island.
"It's the Navy, Admiral Akainu! How did he end up on this island?" Bakin exclaimed in surprise. It was all too sudden, and she knew in her heart that Sakazuki was likely here to find them.
A chill ran through him. Bakin up and landed on Weevil's shoulder, his cane pointing to one side.
"Son, run! The navy is coming!"
Even knowing the chances of escaping were slim, she still wanted to try.
The entire island was thrown into chaos. Faced with the navy's attack, countless Magma Fist rained down from the sky, reaping the lives of the pirates. Combined with cannonballs, they destroyed pirate ships, depriving them of any chance of survival.
That signature move—everyone knows who it is.
For these pirates, a small island had first attracted Edward Weevil, the "Whitebeard II," and then Admiral Akainu. It was simply a dream come true.
"Don't let these pirates get away. G5 Branch reinforcements will be here soon. I'll go find Whitebeard II. first; we can't let him escape."
Sakazuki gave the order and launched himself into the sky using Geppo. The propulsion generated by the eruption of lava allowed Sakazuki to unleash even greater speed.
