Grandma Za Stunned: Are You Two Really That in Sync?!
Seeing the gleam in Xi Yan's eyes, Hancock paused for a moment, then said, "Very well, I will contact the Navy outside Amazon Lily immediately."
After saying that, Hancock looked at Marguerite and gestured for her to bring her a Den Den Den Mushi), as she wanted to contact the Vice Admiral.
She just hoped the other party would be sensible and agree to her request.
Looking at Marguerite walking to the side, Xi Yan asked in confusion, "The navy outside Amazon Lily?"
What does "Amazon Lily" mean?
Could it be... that the navy officer who urged Hancock to join the war was actually nearby?
"Yes, the Navy has come to Amazon Lily to see our Older Sister Lord." Sandersonia nodded and said, "The one leading them is a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral named Momonga."
"Momonga?"
Xi Yan narrowed his eyes, surprised to find it was an old acquaintance.
Taking the Den Den Mushi from Marguerite, Hancock asked curiously, "What, you know it?"
"Ah, there were some conflicts back then."
"Click!"
Upon hearing this, veins bulged on Hancock's forehead, and she coldly replied, "Then let's just kill him."
"Heh, it's not impossible."
Grandma Za was dumbfounded when she saw the two people whose faces simultaneously radiated murderous intent.
Why the sudden shift to attacking the navy?
And they have such great chemistry... How come these two get along so well?
No, now is not the time to think about such things.
Thinking of this, Grandma Za immediately jumped forward, blocking their way and saying, "You two, wait a minute!"
"Grandma Za, don't stop me!" Hancock said, frowning.
"Don't you want to help Xi Yan anymore?"
Hancock:...
Upon hearing this, Hancock was immediately rendered speechless.
"I know what you two are planning, but let me finish what I have to say first," Grandma Za said quickly. "First and foremost is the issue of Hancock's Shichibukai title."
"If we don't participate in this war, the title of Shichibukai will definitely be revoked, and then this country will be besieged by the World Government!"
Perhaps sensing what Hancock was trying to say, Grandma Za continued, "Let's not even talk about how we're in the Calm Belt. The fact that the Navy can be in the nearby waters means they possess some kind of special technology that allows them to traverse the Calm Belt."
"In this way, the Calm Belt will no longer be a natural barrier for our Amazon Lily."
"Hancock, you should know what this means."
"This humble servant..."
"Don't give me any of that 'I don't care' stuff," Grandma Za interrupted Hancock bluntly. "As the emperor of this country, don't be so naive!"
"How dare you call me naive! You..."
Ignoring Hancock's angry glare, Grandma Za turned to Xi Yan and said, "Xi Yan, although I don't know what kind of grudge you have against this person, could you let him off the hook this time?"
"At least don't kill them now."
"Can't we kill him for now...?" Xi Yan pondered.
After hearing Grandma Za said, Hancock stopped her movement to grab the person, a look of doubt appearing in her eyes.
"Because he's here to pick up Hancock," Grandma Za said. "If something were to happen to him, what do you think the Navy Headquarters would think? What do you think the World Government would think?"
"Even if Hancock goes to Navy Headquarters to participate in this war, she will still be suspected."
After listening to Grandma Za's words, Xi Yan pondered for a moment and then understood what she meant.
If anything were to happen to the Vice Admiral who came to pick up Hancock, the World Government and the Navy would inevitably suspect Hancock.
If any problems are found, Hancock's title of Shichibukai could be revoked!
In that case... it might just be bringing disaster upon the country.
In that case, we really can't easily take action against this guy, at least not right now.
'Why not try using the Mangekyo's Illusion to control him?' Xi Yan thought to himself.
However, this thought was quickly extinguished by Xi Yan.
After all... he didn't know if the Dojutsu power of the Mangekyō Sharingan could instantly control Vice Admiral- level figure; at least he hadn't tried it yet.
If the other party cannot be brought under control in an instant, a conflict will break out, and things may develop in an unpredictable direction, potentially bringing disaster to the island.
With that thought in mind, Xi Yan gave up on the idea.
Then, Xi Yan said, "I understand."
'Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If I were to encounter Admiral- level fighter in Underwater Great Prison, I might not have the extra energy to control that Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral,' Xi Yan murmured to himself.
After all... he had only had the Mangekyō Sharingan for three days.
Upon hearing this, the Grandma Za bad, at least she listened to my advice."
"So?" Hancock frowned at her Grandma Za and said, "And what's your plan?"
"I think I understand Grandma Za is thinking," Xi Yan said, stroking his chin. "You want me to follow behind in Sea Kings, right?"
He understood his Grandma Za's idea. First of all, Hancock was bound to go to headquarters to participate in this war, so that she could keep her title of Shichibukai.
The condition for going was that he had to visit Underwater Great Prison once.
This way, they will know the route to the Underwater Great Prison.
"Yes," Grandma Za said, "Is it possible?"
"Hmm, no problem."
After thinking about it for a moment, Xi Yan realized that it wouldn't be difficult to use Sea Kings to silently follow behind the warship.
In this way, they could also infiltrate the Underwater Great Prison undetected.
This method is indeed more reliable, at least it won't put Hancock, the woman who is willing to help him, in danger.
"Then let's decide on this plan," Grandma Za said with a smile. "This way, Xi Yan and the others can infiltrate Underwater Great Prison, and Hancock won't risk losing her Shichibukai title."
"Okay, I understand." Hancock nodded and said, "I'll contact that guy right away and tell him my request."
After saying that, Hancock took the Den Den Mushi and walked outside, saying, "Xi Yan, I'm counting on you to remove the marks from my sisters."
"No problem."
Xi Yan nodded, then looked at the Marguerite sisters and said, "Which of you two will go first?"
"I'll do it."
Sandersonia, the second eldest sister, walked over to Xi Yan Xi Yan said, "I'm counting on you!"
"Fine."
After thoroughly cleaning the operating table, Xi Yan patted the surface and said, "Lie down."
"Yes!"
On the other side, Vice Admiral Momonga, standing aboard a naval warship, stared intently at Amazon Lily in the distance.
"I hope you'll be sensible, Boa Hancock."
Otherwise, Amazon Lily will be destroyed!!
"Gurgle~"
Momonga:...
The Momonga glanced at its growling belly, and its lips twitched slightly.
He'd been waiting so long, he was getting hungry.
Glancing at the Sea Kings he had slain on the surface of the sea, the Momonga drew his sword and said, "Taste this Sea Kings."
Just then, the sound of Den Den Mushi) came from the cabin.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Den Den Mushi?"
The Momonga paused for a moment, then walked over and said, "Was that... Boa Hancock calling?"
He had just reported the situation here to his superiors not long ago, so it shouldn't have been the attack from the Navy Headquarters.
As he pondered this, the Momonga picked up the Den Den Mushi.
"It's Vice Admiral, isn't it?"
"Boa Hancock?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Momonga revealed an "I knew it" expression and then said, "Are you planning to enlist in the Navy Headquarters?"
"Yes, I can participate in this war," Hancock said, "But you must agree to one condition!"
"Otherwise..."
The Momonga paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "What are the conditions?"
If the other party's conditions are too demanding, their navy will not agree to them.
"I wish to visit Underwater Great Prison and see the protagonist who caused this major incident, Fire Fist Ace," Hancock said calmly. "Is that alright?"
Momonga:???
The Momonga looked completely bewildered. Why would this woman want to see Fire Fist Ace?
Could it be that she knows that man?
No, rumors say this woman has an extreme aversion to men, so it's impossible for her to have any dealings with the Whitebeard Pirates.
I guess they have some other ideas.
"What, it's not okay?"
"I can't make that decision myself," the Momonga said. "I have to report to my superiors first."
Ultimately, he was just Vice Admiral in the Navy Headquarters and had no authority to decide such a big matter.
After all... he didn't know what this Pirate Empress's true purpose was!
"Alright, then I'll await your answer," Hancock said calmly.
After saying that, Hancock decisively ended the communication, completely disregarding the Momonga's thoughts.
Momonga:...
Looking at the Den Den Mushi that had fallen back down, the Momonga rubbed its head and said, "You really are used to doing things your own way..."
That's right, that's just how the Pirate Empress is, otherwise there would be problems.
After shaking his head, Momonga picked up the Den Den Mushi and began dialing the number for Navy Headquarters.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Click~"
Sengoku, who answered the phone, said, "This is Sengoku."
"Marshal Sengoku, I am the Momonga."
"Momonga..." Sengoku recalled what he had asked the Momonga to do, then nodded and asked, "How's the situation on your end?"
Has Boa Hancock agreed to participate in this war?
"She agreed to participate in this war, but she needs us to agree to one condition."
"Condition?"
Sengoku frowned, turned to Tsuru, and then asked, "What are the conditions?"
Is this woman planning to take advantage of the situation?
If that's the case... then they'll settle scores after the war ends!
"Boa Hancock requests a trip to Underwater Great Prison."
"To the Underwater Great Prison?" Tsuru asked in surprise, "What is she going there for?"
Is this guy planning to rescue someone?
If that's really the case, then this Pirate Empress is incredibly foolish.
"She said she wanted to meet the man who caused this incident," the Momonga said. "As for whether she had any other intentions, I don't know."
So far, he hasn't figured out if the other party has any other motives.
"Fire Fist Ace?"
Sengoku rubbed his temples and said, "Alright, let her go."
Although he didn't know what the woman was thinking, in this special period, Sengoku felt it was a good deal to exchange such a powerful force for such a simple condition.
"Marshal Sengoku?"
The Momonga was somewhat surprised. The Marshal Sengoku had agreed to the other party's request so easily?
"If she's smart enough, she won't do anything unnecessary," Sengoku said. "I'll have Magellan keep an eye on her."
"We'll put Seastone Handcuffs on her then, so even if she wants to do something, she won't be able to cause any trouble."
After finishing speaking, Sengoku paused for a moment, then said, "Oh, and remember to tell her about the Seastone Handcuffs, just to avoid any unnecessary trouble later."
If the other party agrees to this request, it doesn't matter if they go; it's just a quick look anyway.
But if they disagree... then it means they have other ideas!
Then there's no need to be polite with this woman. We'll just destroy them after the war is over!
"Yes, I understand!" the Momonga nodded.
Sea Stone can imprison Boa Hancock's abilities and render her body powerless, effectively preventing her from causing trouble.
This is indeed a good method.
"Click~"
Watching the Den Den Mushi end the call, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's wonderful that this woman can come to participate in the war."
"That's true." Tsuru nodded. "After all, she's very strong."
As a high-ranking officer in the Navy, Tsuru was well aware of just how powerful the Pirate Empress was.
Ordinary Vice Admiral are no match for this woman; only Marine Admiral can reliably suppress her.
Such combat power will be of great help in the upcoming war!
At least holding off the Whitebeard Pirates ' Squad Captain shouldn't be a problem.
"That means we have five Shichibukai," Sengoku said, rubbing his temples. "It's a pity Jinbe doesn't know Jinbe's good for him."
Despite being Shichibukai, he harbors a great deal of goodwill towards the Whitebeard Pirates... It's truly a headache.
'What a waste of such a naval force.'
If the other side were willing to join the war, their chances of winning would be even greater.
"Who told the Whitebeard Pirates to protect Fish-Man Island?" Tsuru sighed.
Fish-Man Island, being a necessary stop for pirates heading to the New World, faces the risk of invasion every day.
If it weren't for the Whitebeard Pirates, it would probably have been completely destroyed.
"But he's Shichibukai!" Sengoku said. "Shichibukai who doesn't obey orders has no reason to exist."
The World Government established the Warlord System to counterbalance the power of the Four Emperors.
But if the Shichibukai don't obey, then we'll have to deal with them!
Both the World Government and the Navy share this view on the matter.
Tsuru shook his head upon hearing this, then turned to look at the navy officer beside him and said, "Has that guy still not given in?"
"According to the message from Warden Magellan, Jinbe remains steadfast in his beliefs," the Navy said.
"I see."
Tsuru nodded, then looked at Sengoku and said, "In that case, let's just pretend he doesn't exist."
While losing one of the Shichibukai is troublesome, it's not unacceptable.
"That's all we can do," Sengoku said.
Although Jinbe is missing, the other Shichibukai are still able to hold off some of the Whitebeard Pirates' captains.
Especially Hawkeye Mihawk, whose strength is unfathomable.
I just don't know how much effort this guy can actually put in.
Thinking of this, Sengoku sighed.
'Ultimately, these guys aren't even in the Navy.'
Just then, a communications soldier ran in, his face clearly showing panic.
"What's wrong?"
"Reporting Marshal," the communications officer said, "Just now, all 23 warships responsible for monitoring the Whitebeard Pirates lost contact at the same time!!!"
"Varied...?!"
Sengoku's pupils contracted; had they lost contact at the same time?
So... it was Whitebeard who personally took action!
'Only this guy has that kind of strength,' Sengoku murmured to himself.
Using the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to trigger a massive tsunami that simultaneously engulfed all the warships... that's ruthless!
"Should we take out our eyes first?" Tsuru frowned. "Is there any other information?"
"Other pirate crews in the New World seem to be making moves as well, but the specifics are unclear!" the communications officer said with a grim expression. "We have no idea how many troops they've gathered, nor when they'll arrive."
"Should we redeploy the surveillance ship?"
"There's no need for that." Tsuru shook his head and said, "Since they chose to sink their warships at the same time, it's impossible for us to track their movements anymore."
That man is no pushover.
"Prepare for battle," Sengoku said, taking a deep breath. "The Whitebeard Pirates could attack at any moment."
"Notify the entire army to prepare for battle before the execution day!"
"Yes!!"
"I'll go make some preparations too," Tsuru said, standing up. "Once those unruly Shichibukai arrive, they might cause some trouble."
As he spoke, the image of Doflamingo flashed through Tsuru's mind.
'Especially that brat.'
Doflamingo, a former Celestial Dragons with a wicked personality, is capable of anything.
"I'm counting on you, Tsuru," Sengoku said.
"Um."
Tsuru nodded and then left.
After watching the other man leave, Sengoku thought to himself, 'Hopefully, this time I can keep that Whitebeard guy here for good!'
This will effectively dampen the arrogance of the pirates!
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Sengoku's eyes.
