In Bargain Bar, Shakky and Rayleigh, two influential figures in the old era, also felt an inexplicable chill down their spines because of the on-the-spot execution outside the bar.
"Grand Line is going to change!"
Looking at the execution scene outside the door, Rayleigh suddenly let out a sigh, "This young Marshal of the navy will definitely use iron-blooded tactics unprecedented in the history of the navy to suppress all pirates! Sakazuki will have no scruples anymore with the protection of this iron-blooded Marshal, and will definitely pursue his thorough justice to the end!"
After a slight pause, Rayleigh turned his head slightly and looked at Shakky, who was standing at the bar with the same solemn expression. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I hope Whitebeard won't do it because of Bakin made the same mistake over and over again. Akira ordered Sakazuki to clear the surrounding sea areas, obviously to prevent Whitebeard Pirates from making preparations!"
Shakky took out a lady's cigarette and lit it, and said calmly, "I am very curious about why Bajingom Stussy encouraged Whitebeard Jr. to attack the navy training ship? She has been publicizing her relationship with Whitebeard and Whitebeard Jr.'s identity over the years. What is her purpose?"
Rayleigh shook his head and smiled, "Bajingom Stussy was once a member of Rocks Pirates. Although his strength was average, his ambition was careless! After Rocks Pirates was disbanded, Whitebeard quickly rose to become the three giants at the time with Roger and Shiki, so she found Whitebeard again and wanted to join forces with Whitebeard to recreate the glory of Rocks Pirates!"
"However, Whitebeard has no ambition to conquer the world and become Pirate King. He just wants to build a big family! Because they pursue different goals, the two parted ways!"
Shakky blinked and said in relief, "So, is it really possible that Whitebeard Jr. is Whitebeard's biological son?"
"Who knows." Rayleigh said uncertainly, "Bajin Gom had another identity back then, one of the members of MADS! The MADS organization has brought together a large number of outstanding scientists. Some of these scientists are dedicated to researching killing weapons, some are focusing on research that can promote world peace, and some are studying cloning technology!"
"As Bajin Gorm is one of the members, it is not impossible to clone a Whitebeard Jr. based on Whitebeard!"
"I understand!" Shakky nodded, "If Whitebeard did have a relationship with Bajin Gom Stussy and had a child, he would definitely come to the rescue! If he didn't come, it means he had no relationship with Ba Jingom!"
"Wait--"
Suddenly, Rayleigh seemed to have remembered something, and said anxiously, "Compared with the mystery of Whitebeard Jr.'s life experience, shouldn't you be more concerned about Hancock? Akira will be punished Xing scheduled the meeting with Shichibukai at the same time, and obviously wanted to take this opportunity to let Shichibukai also make a choice. Judging from the iron-blooded skills he has shown now, he will never allow Seven Warlords of the Sea system to continue to exist!"
"The so-called Shichibukai meeting is a choice between life and death for all members of Shichibukai!"
Shakky blew out a string of smoke rings and said a little weakly, "Marine Headquarters sent information, Hancock is following Akira all day long, I have a bad feeling!"
"It is indeed something serious!" A huge black line appeared on Rayleigh's forehead, "I originally thought that Hancock would be extremely repulsive to men and would not be as lovesick as you were back then, but now it seems that she is no exception!"
Hearing this, Shakky's face revealed an unnoticeable blush for the first time. So far, Amazon Lily has a total of three empresses in the past who have suffered from lovesickness, namely she, her predecessor and those before her. Later, the empress before her had to choose to leave Amazon Lily in order to survive, and she almost died of lovesickness in her early twenties, and finally followed the example of her predecessor and left Amazon Lily to find her antidote.
But her next appointment was not so lucky, because the person she loved passed away without any news.
I thought that this curse would disappear due to the death of my next boss, but I didn't expect that Navy Marshal would come out halfway and dare to force World Government to sign Mary Geoise Treaty. World Government and Hancock, who were resentful descendants of the twenty kings who originally founded World Government, naturally could not resist its charm, and they fell after just one meeting.
Shakky calmly turned his head to prevent Rayleigh from seeing his expression, "If she really gets sick because of Akira, it's not entirely a bad thing. After all, Akira is Marine Headquarters Marshal, won't suddenly disappear or be as erratic as some people did back then, which caused me to be almost caught by Garp several times!"
Rayleigh smiled awkwardly, "That's true. After all, lovesickness is only one-sided. No matter what Akira's attitude is towards her, as long as she can see her when she wants to, it will be fine."
At this moment, Strawberry walked in with two school officials.
After looking around to make sure that nothing was missing, Strawberry immediately ordered the two school officers around him, "Take their belongings away, burn all their belongings, and confiscate all their treasures!"
The eyes of the two school officers suddenly lit up, and they quickly ran to the booth and began to search for the treasures left by the pirates.
Soon, the two of them came back with a full load. They didn't even act for a moment, and they were so excited that they said in unison, "Master Vice Admiral, these pirates are quite fat. They have made a fortune this time!"
Strawberry twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and criticized with a straight face. "Don't use the same tactics as before now. All these treasures must be turned over!"
After a slight pause, Strawberry changed the topic, "I allow you to leave some for other brothers participating in tonight's operation."
At the same time.
In the Sabaody Archipelago waters shrouded in darkness, Sakazuki, who was stationed on a large warship, received the latest situation report and learned that almost all the pirates lurking on the island had been eliminated. He no longer stayed on the sea to prevent pirates from escaping, and decisively ordered the warship to return to his headquarters.
Although as Admiral, he doesn't have to do this kind of thing himself, the live broadcast of tomorrow's public execution is of great importance. Akira entrusts this matter to him, so he naturally has to be meticulous.
As the warship stationed by Sakazuki returned to Marineford, and Strawberry stayed at Sabaody Archipelago to deal with the aftermath, a clearing operation before a public execution ended.
In Bargain Bar, Strawberry did not leave immediately. Instead, after sending away his subordinates, he sat directly at the bar and ordered a cocktail.
"You look familiar to me."
Just as he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, Strawberry suddenly broke the silence, looked at Rayleigh and said, "If I remember correctly, the last time I went to the population auction house for a surprise inspection, you seemed to be locked in a cage and pushed out for auction!"
"Haha, yes~" Rayleigh laughed heartily and said, "Because I lost all my money in the casino, I mortgaged myself. I thought about finding someone to redeem me, but I didn't expect that those people had no morals and sold me to a trafficker! Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If you hadn't made a surprise inspection of the auction house, I might have become a slave in a wealthy family, hahaha~"
Strawberry, who always had an expressionless face, couldn't hold back any longer, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly. He had seen families ruined or wives separated because of gambling, but this was the only case where he mortgaged himself.
In one word, absolutely amazing!
