Marineford.
Within Navy Headquarters.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who has rarely had some leisure time, is leisurely enjoying the equally rare afternoon tea.
Looking out the window at the calm sea.
From time to time, the clear calls of seagulls passing by made him feel much happier.
Originally, he thought that as long as he retired from Fleet Admiral, he would be able to live a leisurely retirement life.
Unexpectedly... before he was about to retire, so many things happened that after he abdicated, he was entrusted with the important task of World Government, serving as the general leader of the anti-grass team.
Therefore, after stepping down from the Fleet Admiral position, he still did not relax.
Even busier than when I was at the Fleet Admiral position!
Fleet Admiral Sengoku turned around and gently turned a page of "Spirit of Grass" on the table, then picked up the hot tea on the table while reading the book.
After taking a sip, he murmured to himself, "If I count the time, the plan should have reached its most critical moment. Thinking about it... there shouldn't be a big problem there!"
With the help of Kuzan, plus the four Danzo, and just one Doflamingo, isn't it easy to catch him?
Yes, their goal from the beginning was Doflamingo. As for Land of Grass... now is not the time to start a war with them!
As long as Doflamingo [dies] in the hands of Land of Grass, their plan this time will be successful.
Especially not long ago, he heard that Danzo had tricked Doflamingo into lending 10 billion to Beasts Pirates.
If this guy dies and loses such a big debtor, I believe Beasts Pirates will be furious.
At that time... to recover the losses, Land of Grass will definitely be the one to settle the score.
So, I have to say...
Danzo Major General, that TN guy is really a talent!
At that time, when he listened to Kuzan's call, he also doubted in his heart whether Danzo was a spy sent by Land of Grass. Now it seems... maybe Kuzan's suspicion was wrong.
As long as it works this time...
Land of Grass and Beasts Pirates are fighting, then they World Government can watch a snipe and clam fight!
Even if you can, continue to provoke Land of Grass into fighting with other pirates and other Four Emperors. By then... there will be fewer pirates in the big sea, and Land of Grass will suffer heavy losses. World Government will definitely become the final winner.
For this reason, Gorosei is already discussing the proposal related to "Increasing Pirate Bounty" proposed by Danzo some time ago.
Prepare to significantly increase the bounty of each pirate to provoke a fight between Land of Grass and the pirates!
only.
This amount is not a trivial matter, so Gorosei is still under discussion.
After all, World Government needs to spend money in all aspects during this period, not only on World Conscription, but also on Vegapunk who has to increase research in order to deal with Land of Grass... These are all very expensive.
Especially the reconstruction of Holy Land Mary Geoise and the [subsidy] Celestial Dragon, these two aspects require more money.
In order to make up for the loss of Celestial Dragon last time and protect Celestial Dragon's life, therefore, World Government can only subsidize it.
Compared with the previous ones, these expenses are even heavier!
Even World Government, who owns the wealth of the entire ocean, cannot afford to do this!
Now we can only barely hold on and wait for the arrival of Celestial Gold from various countries next year.
Once we can no longer hold on, in order to prioritize Celestial Dragon's life, we can only make up for it from other aspects.
Then it will be another disaster!
There is nothing we can do about this!
Warring States sighed inwardly and continued to look at "Spirit of Grass" on the table, but a faint smile appeared on his face, "This time Major General Danzo is back, he should be qualified to be promoted to Navy Vice Admiral!"
The words just fell.
At this time.
"Dong dong dong~"
There was a violent knock on the door.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku closed the book in his hand, frowned slightly, looked at the door, and shouted loudly, "Come in!"
The door was opened directly. When he saw the silver-haired young man walking in, Fleet Admiral Sengoku smiled again on his face, "It's Major General Kabuto~, why are you so serious? Could it be that something happened over there Sakazuki?"
"Return to Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
After hearing his words, Major General Kabuto still nodded seriously.
Then without any hesitation, he said directly, "I just received a call from the Dressrosa Navy, Major General Danzo..." There was a slight pause, and he looked at the Fleet Admiral Sengoku in front of him who seemed to frown because of his words, "They have been captured by Land of Grass!"
"?!" Warring States was stunned for a moment, then said with a hint of surprise, "What?"
"According to the request from King of the Land of Grass, five billion per person, I hope the Navy will send 30 billion immediately, otherwise, don't blame them..."
"Wait a minute! Shouldn't it be 20 billion?"
"Don Quijote·Doflamingo, worth 10 billion!"
"It's ridiculous. He's just a pirate. If he wants to kill him, he'll kill him. He still wants the navy to spend 10 billion to rescue him? Tell Land of Grass to kill him if he wants!"
"Well, that's not the case!" Looking at the angry Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Kabuto said leisurely after a moment of silence, "Land of Grass said that if the navy doesn't come with the money, don't blame him... let Doflamingo expose the secret of World Government live in front of the entire sea!"
"???"
And at this time.
Dressrosa This way.
Greenbit coastline.
Five figures were silently looking at the sea in front of them.
From time to time... waves came one after another, gently lapping on the shore, splashing a little bit of spray, and finally fell on their faces.
Warm and comfortable climate, magnificent sea, beautiful beaches, lively barbecue parties...
However.
The beautiful scenery and the laughter and laughter all around had nothing to do with them.
After all, right now they are... tied to a cross, right on the beach!
Where do you have the energy to participate in those?!
only.
Unlike Danzo who was looking at the sea melancholy, Doflamingo's face looked extremely gloomy at this time.
Then he turned his head and glanced coldly at the four Danzo on the side, "Hey, hey, hey, I didn't expect that Major General Navy Headquarters would actually cooperate with Land of Grass and betray his allies? Aren't you worried that I will tell all the secrets?"
Now Doflamingo also understands what is going on.
World Government...
I just want him to die!
I just didn't expect... both of them actually thought like this!
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaa~" Another unique laugh, with the same gloomy tone, said, "I have to say that this scene is really interesting. The navy and the pirates are standing on the coast together!"
However.
"..."X4
Danzo The four of them ignored this pirate who looked like a madman.
After all, they also know... at this point, no matter what, this Doflamingo is dead.
Therefore, there is no need to pay attention to a foursome!
only.
He looked at King of the Land of Grass, who was standing in front of him while chewing the chicken wings in his hand.
Danzo, who was originally looking melancholy, suddenly turned dark. With Darkness of Ninjutsu's cold expression, he said lightly, "It's almost done! Damn... Leader Mang, it's time to let me go, you know I've brought all the people and money!"
Didn't you say you wanted to have a fair fight with me again?
"If this continues, everything I have done in Navy Headquarters will be in vain! Why are you tying me up?"
"Hey~, how can this be called binding? It's just been a long time since I invited you to sit down for a while!"
"?!"
This...
Doflamingo, who seemed to have noticed something, suddenly looked at the leaders Navy Rear Admiral and Land of Grass in front of him with a flash of shock.
Do they... know each other?
Undercover?
He is very familiar with this move!
He once again made his own unique voice, "Hey, what a secret! It seems that World Government has also been tricked by you!"
Nothing more.
Faced with Doflamingo's cynicism, Danzo still ignored it and continued to look at Kusana in front of him with a dark face.
This bitch...
Now Land of Grass is almost straddling the two worlds, but he, the dignified leader of Land of Grass, has not changed yet?
Still so shameless?!
Of course~
As a regular customer, Danzo also understood that this guy didn't mean to kill him, so he was relieved inside.
Just for his business in Navy Headquarters, they must not be tied up here!
And he is a dignified Darkness of Ninjutsu. Even if he was defeated back then, at his age now, wouldn't he be shameless?
What will those ninjas and the navy think of him then?
So, Danzo took a deep breath and was about to say something.
However.
At this time.
"World Government has issued a notice, please Land of Grass immediately return the major general of our army, and do not take any more excessive actions, otherwise, don't blame our army..."
A warship appeared on the sea, and a broadcast sounded.
But it's not over yet.
"Puch!"
Kusana held a small knife in his hand and stabbed Danzo directly in the waist.
Not a trace of hesitation!
Then he yelled at the sea, "It's so noisy, shut up. If you make more noise, don't blame Land of Grass for being rude."
And this threat was also very useful, and the warship at sea immediately shut up.
And he quickly retreated, probably waiting for orders from Navy Headquarters!
After seeing this, Kusana nodded with satisfaction.
Then.
He turned around again, but when he looked at Danzo who was staring at him with a dark face and the knife dripping with blood on his hand.
He was stunned for a moment, then a sneer appeared on his face, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, "Well..."
"You actually stabbed me?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. It just happened. I couldn't help it!"
"You stabbed me again?" However, facing Kusana's apology, Danzo's face was still full of anger and a hint of grievance, "You actually stabbed me again!"
"I, I, I..." Looking at Danzo, his eyes were red, and he was full of grievances at his age.
This moment.
Kusana also felt in his heart that he had bullied the old man. There was a trace of trivial guilt in his heart, and he quickly said in a comforting tone, "Well... I really didn't mean it just now! You know, there is no other, I am just familiar with it!"
However.
The words just fell.
"I'm sorry, your uncle is so skilled!" A line of tears slowly fell from the corner of his eyes, and his whole eyes became moist.
Then Danzo showed a ferocious expression on his face, struggled with his body crazily, and roared, "You stabbed me before you came to the sea, and you stabbed me again after you came to the sea!"
"Isn't this sea in vain?"
"I'll fight with you! Dog and grass thief!"
It was as if all the grievances in my heart had exploded at this moment!
