White Dragon Fleet Admiral Is the People's Choice

~

The New World.

An unremarkable-looking warship is sailing on the turbulent sea.

What flies at the top of the warship's mainmast is not the "seagull flag" symbolizing the navy, but the "cross flag" representing the World Government.

This is a warship belonging to the World Government!

Beside the side railing of the warship, Figarland Gringu Saint stood with his arms crossed, calmly gazing at the empty sea not far ahead, and suddenly spoke.

"That should be the original location of Punk Hazard Island, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kizaru, who was standing to the side, spoke softly.

"Yes, that's right, Saint Gringu."

As is widely known, the Headquarters Admiral are actually direct subordinates of the Celestial Dragons.

Figarland Gringu Saint was a high-ranking Celestial Dragons.

His existence was more "noble" to Kizaru than that of an ordinary Celestial Dragons.

Of course, that only applies to the previous Kizaru from the Old Marines.

The reason why the current Kizaru of the New Marines still shows such respect to Saint Gringu is because he needs to "endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens" for the sake of the future grand plan of the New Marines.

"What a disgrace!"

It's a very cold expression on Saint Gringu saint.

"The government's secret base was violently seized by pirates!"

Previously, when Storm seized Punk Hazard Island, the World Government indeed felt it was a great loss of face.

However, when it comes to actual, substantial losses... there aren't many.

Although the White Dragon Emperor seized Punk Hazard Island.

However, the World Government owns far too many islands; they could easily find another island to build a base on.

Although the White Dragon Emperor stole Vegapunk.

But weren't the other scientists, including Caesar Courant, still released?

From the perspective of World Government, the actual losses are not as high as imagined.

Even if Vegapunk was the so-called "World's Greatest Genius".

However, Vegapunk has not made any groundbreaking inventions over the years.

What "Pacifista," "Green Blood," "Seraphim," "Mother Flame"...

These are all inventions and creations of Vegapunk in the future. What do they have to do with Vegapunk now?

As of now.

In the eyes of the World Government, Vegapunk's most "powerful" invention was probably the [artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] that was previously given to White Dragon.

However, according to Vegapunk, that [artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] was a complete failure!

In summary

At this stage, Vegapunk's significance and value in the eyes of the World Government are not as great as imagined.

This is why Storm seized Punk Hazard Island and also Vegapunk.

The World Government has not made any major moves, nor has it sent a large army to Whole Cake Island to carry out the "Buster Call".

If it were Vegapunk a few years later, the old Vegapunk who invented the "Mother Flame".

The World Government's warships have long been deployed to Whole Cake Island!

However, after entering the year 1519 of the Grand Line Era...

Even if the World Government wanted to do something to Whole Cake Island, it would be powerless to do anything about it.

Because the New World no longer belongs to the World Government!

At least until the New Marines "disappears," the World Government will absolutely not be able to regain its original dominance over the New World.

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right!"

Kizaru grinned and flattered.

"Saint Gringu, the so-called Pirate Emperor, is really nothing special~"

"Like that Shanks, his reputation is amazing, and he even became the 'Pirate Emperor,' but isn't he actually no match for the New Marines?"

"If you are dissatisfied with the White Dragon Emperor's previous actions, are you going to launch a campaign against Totto Land?"

Without a doubt.

Kizaru wasn't just being sarcastic; he was also inciting others.

As a former Admiral, Kizaru was not qualified to know about the relationship between Saint Gringu and Shanks.

However, as the new Admiral, Kizaru already knew Shanks's surname and childhood experiences perfectly well from the "Fleet Admiral Candidate".

Kizaru stood next to Saint Gringu and slandered Shanks.

This can't be called being sarcastic or insinuating; it could also be called making a veiled criticism.

However, Saint Gringu couldn't reprimand Kizaru for this matter.

Are the Celestial Dragons going to reprimand him for being hostile towards the Admiral Pirate Emperor?

What about the rules and stance of the World Government?

As for instigation...

Kizaru already knew about Storm's plan.

He was urging Saint Gringu to go to Totto Land just to teach this "noble Celestial Dragons" a lesson as soon as possible.

So you're the supreme commander of the Knights of God?

Saint Gringu was unaware of Kizaru's inner thoughts; he simply felt a chill creeping over him.

"Conquering Totto Land... is not urgent for now."

Saint Gringu raised his hand and pressed it against the hilt of the sword; the cold, hard touch dispelled the inexplicable chill that had been creeping into his heart.

"However, we do need to get in touch with the current Pirate Emperor of the New World."

Saint Gringu entered the New World carrying Imu's orders!

They demanded Shanks from the New Marines.

Contact other Pirate Emperor to put pressure on the New Marines.

These are the two major tasks that Saint Gringu needed to shoulder.

The former is easier to say.

Saint Gringu is on his way to the G5 Branch (the former G5 Branch in the eyes of the World Government).

But the latter...

Saint Gringu was still having some trouble figuring out exactly what to do.

The World Government had already contacted Beasts Kaido in advance, intending to lure the blue dragon, who always shouted "suicide," into attacking the New Marines.

However, Beasts Kaido, a pirate whose mind is only filled with muscles and fighting, actually rejected the World Government, and even rejected the generous conditions offered by the World Government.

Imu and the Gorosei were furious about this.

However, the intelligence gathered by their subordinates later changed Imu and his men's mood from gloomy to cheerful.

Beasts Kaido left Wano Country and went to meet with the Whitebeard Pirates...

At this special moment of the founding of the New Marines.

Why would Beasts Kaido suddenly request a meeting with Whitebeard? Could it be something else entirely?

However, according to intelligence relayed by World Government spy planted within the Whitebeard Pirates...

The conversation between Whitebeard and the Beasts did not seem pleasant.

In the end, the Beasts left the Whitebeard Pirates and flew to Totto Land...

Thinking of this, Saint Gringu withdrew his gaze from the sea and turned to look at Kizaru beside him.

"Has Beasts Kaido not left Whole Cake Island yet?"

According to intelligence gathered by the World Government.

A few days ago, Beasts Kaido suddenly arrived in Whole Cake Island, and the White Dragon Emperor appeared. Then, the two Pirate Emperor disappeared from public view.

It seems that the White Dragon Emperor and Beasts Kaido did not break up their negotiations...

This was a judgment made by the Gorosei after discussion.

Because after Beasts Kaido "disappeared," the main force of Totto Land Island did not take action.

Meanwhile, the other territories of the Beasts Pirates were not attacked or plundered by the Storm Pirates.

But Beasts Kaido just stays in Whole Cake Island and won't come out...

This gave the Gorosei a real headache.

The World Government hopes that the Pirate Emperor can put pressure on the New Marines.

But I don't want the Pirate Emperor to unite against each other!

Just imagine it.

What if the four Pirate Emperors of the New World choose to join forces under pressure from the New Marines?

If the Yonko were to join forces, their combined and organized power would likely surpass that of the New Marines!

Whitebeard, White Dragon Emperor, Red Dragon Emperor, Beasts...

This combination is not comparable to Zephyr, Aokiji, or Fujitora...

To be more deterrent?

This is also the thing that is giving Saint Gringu the biggest headache right now.

Beasts Kaido was originally his primary contact.

The World Government considered this Azure Dragon to be the most "obedient" of the four Pirate Emperors.

But Beasts Kaido is now entangled with the White Dragon Emperor...

The liaison operation by Saint Gringu seemed to be coming to an end before it even had a chance to begin.

"As far as I know, no."

Kizaru grimaced and said regretfully.

"Beasts Kaido is probably drinking in Whole Cake Island right now."

This is a lie.

Kizaru and Saint Gringu act together.

Before leaving Marineford, he was unaware that Saint Gringu had a secret mission to "contact the Pirate Emperor."

But after entering the New World, everyone was on the same boat.

Saint Gringu's follow-up actions will require Kizaru's assistance.

Kizaru then learned about Saint Gringu's "secret mission".

Upon learning the news, Kizaru immediately contacted the New Marines's "Fleet Admiral Candidate".

Of course, we should contact the Fleet Admiral Candidate!

We can't exactly contact that old Fleet Admiral, can we?

The Fleet Admiral Candidate's answer was--

Beasts Kaido is currently donating blood free of charge at Laboratory Number One on Punk Hazard Island.

Um...

Kizaru has to admit it.

This was one of the best pieces of news he had heard in the last decade or so.

Second only to the establishment of the New Marines, it was roughly equivalent to the capture of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Big Mom is dead, Red-Haired, and Beasts have become experimental subjects...

In this New World, three of the original Yonko are gone.

Two of the current Yonko —no, it should be said that two of the current "Three Emperors" are Fleet Admiral Candidate in our New Marines.

The true Pirate Emperor of the New World.

Only Whitebeard remained, a remnant of the Old Era.

The light of justice will soon shine across the seas in New Marines.

Kizaru really loves the New Marines!

If it weren't for the fact that the Fleet Admiral was still alive.

Kizaru even wants to nominate Fleet Admiral Candidate!

Fleet Admiral White Dragon is the one everyone wants!

Think about it carefully.

The original four Pirate Emperors of the New World.

Big Mom, Red-Haired, and Beasts were all captured by the Fleet Admiral Candidate.

Who can compare to these achievements and military exploits?

Kizaru's fake smile became increasingly genuine.

Seeing the "regretful" expression on Kizaru's face, Saint Gringu couldn't help but frown.

Although he had long heard that the current Three Admirals of the Marine Headquarters were all eccentric individuals.

For example, Akainu is a mad dog.

For example, Aokiji is a lazybones.

For example, Kizaru is a corporate slave.

But Saint Gringu never expected that Kizaru would actually be so slippery and lazy!

The Pirate Emperor have teamed up!

Can't we be serious?

Just as Saint Gringu was about to reprimand Kizaru in his capacity as Celestial Dragons...

The once bright sky suddenly turned gloomy.

A faint rumble of thunder drifted down from the heavens.

"The weather has changed again!"

Saint Gringu frowned deeply, and his thoughts of reprimanding Kizaru temporarily faded away.

"Why is the climate in the New World so strange and unpredictable?!"

As a Celestial Dragons has lived in Mary Geoise for many years.

Saint Gringu rarely experiences rainy days.

Why is Mary Geoise situated at an altitude of over 10,000 meters?

However, Saint Gringu's reaction made Kizaru give him a strange look.

What's the deal with the leader of this Knights of God?

Didn't hear that...

Is it thundering?

First update.

There was still some in the early morning.

Don't wait, everyone.

It's very late
