Moke Was Intrigued

At this moment, Zephyr had made his decision.

Since the World Government and the Navy have already reached this point, he wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire.

He wants to take this opportunity to occupy North Blue.

His abilities and strength do not allow him to provide a carefree life for everyone in the world. However, within his lifetime...

He was confident that he could turn North Blue into a paradise on earth.

Of course, he won't openly oppose the World Government and the Navy. He will use this opportunity to thoroughly purge those who are breaking the law and causing trouble in the North Blue.

And then there are those disobedient fellows.

After clearing out these guys, he officially brought the North Blue under the control of the Marine Academy.

Once the time is right.

Then he could make North Blue independent.

With a new goal in mind, the aging Zephyr once again exudes the vitality unique to "young people".

He stood up, gazing in the direction of the North Blue, and waved his hand. "Ain, Binz, Shuzo... immediately assemble all the trainees, instructors, and soldiers. Target: North Blue..."

Ain, Binz, Shuzo straightened their chests and gave a military salute. "Yes, sir!"

Moke, who was in North Blue, probably never imagined this.

With the flapping of his butterfly wings, the people and things in this world have already undergone tremendous changes.

Zephyr has shifted its focus from destroying the world to conquering the North Blue.

The path to splitting World Government.

At this time, Moke had already ordered Bastille guard the area, which he had renamed No. 1 Branch, formerly the Marine Branch.

Thus, Bastille became Moke Pirates.

The first cadre in North Blue!

Meanwhile, Moke, with Cavendish, headed towards the next branch. Of course, not one of the smaller branches, but one of the three major branches of the North Blue, guarded by Tokikake.

Because in Moke's view, as long as these three branches are taken over...

Then the North Blue Navy will be a piece of cake. Taking over the North Blue Navy will be the first step towards occupying the entire North Blue.

Time flies, and six days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zephyr has arrived at the entrance to the North Blue, Reiju, Niji, Yonji, along with three thousand soldiers, are already heading towards the branch where Durandal is located.

Moreover, it's getting closer and closer.

North Blue 33rd Branch.

A burly man stood on a high place, gazing into the distance.

He had a large, round beard.

It has huge, hairy arms and hands.

He was wearing a hat with the word "Navy" written on it, a dark T-shirt, light-colored trousers, and dark boots.

He is Tokikake, the commander of the North Blue 33rd Branch. As a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, he is wearing a large coat with the word "Justice" written on the back.

His sharp eyes and imposing physique exuded an invisible pressure.

But at this moment, he was very worried because the observer had just come to report to him.

A pirate ship has appeared at the port.

You should know that if this small island were guarded by the largest Marine Branch in the North Blue, all the pirates in the North Blue would avoid it.

It's impossible; some pirates would be so reckless as to land on this island.

Such Ittan must indicate something is amiss.

Moreover, it's at this particular time... because, if you calculate the time, it took about this long from when Bastille here.

So he immediately went to the highest point of the branch.

From a distance, he couldn't even make out the person clearly. But he was certain that the person approaching was Cavendish.

Because this guy is too flashy.

He rode a White Horse.

Among pirates, he is unique in riding White Horse.

"This is troublesome..."

Tokikake frowned deeply.

Turning to his deputy, Rear Admiral Yukimura, he said, "Immediately issue an enemy attack alert, and at the same time, telegraph Zephyr. Cavendish has arrived at my Marine 33rd Branch. Instruct him to come as quickly as possible."

Upon hearing this, Yukimura's expression hardened. He then gave a military salute. "It's Vice Admiral Tokikake!"

After Yukimura left, Tokikake couldn't help but smile wryly, "If I had been any slower... I'm afraid my teacher would have had to come and collect my corpse."

The Cavendish was able to arrive so quickly means that he didn't stay long with Bastille's branch after defeating Bastille.

He quickly set off for his Marine 33rd Branch.

This means that Cavendish defeated Bastille without taking any damage, or rather, with minimal cost.

Therefore, his strength is far greater than I previously estimated.

With his strength, I'm afraid he'll have a hard time resisting.

However, as Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral and the highest-ranking officer of the Marine 33rd Branch, he absolutely could not allow himself to retreat without a fight.

"Clop clop clop..." Cavendish rode his White Horse, looking quite flamboyant, toward Marine 33rd Branch.

"Brubru..."

Meanwhile, on the pirate ship, Moke, who had not yet emerged, remained.

The Den Den Mushi in my pocket rang.

"???"

Moke was somewhat surprised; he didn't quite understand who would be sending the call at this time...

Moke took out Den Den Mushi and answered the call, "This is Moke..."

Den Den Mushi: "This is Bastille!"

Upon hearing this, Moke raised an eyebrow. "Is something the matter?"

Bastille nodded. "Indeed, there are two things now. And each one is more troublesome than the last!"

"Oh?"

Moke's curiosity was piqued, and he became interested. "Tell me about it..."

Bastille, "I have confirmed that Marine Headquarters has dispatched Zephyr. And Zephyr has brought with him the entire Marine Academy —the cadets, instructors, and sailors."

Moke: "..."

All right!

He was somewhat taken aback.

I never expected that Aokiji would actually send this guy out.

This one was even more insane, bringing all his men with him.

What are they trying to do?

Could it be that they know he, Moke, has already arrived in the North Blue, and is even the man behind Cavendish?

Is it possible?

Reason told him it was unlikely.

But reality told him that it was very likely.

"Well! This is indeed a troublesome matter... but what is it, anyway?"

Bastille didn't keep them in suspense any longer, stating directly, "Germa 66 seems to be making a move. King Judge of Germa 66 has dispatched Reiju, Niji, and Yonji with three thousand soldiers, heading towards our territory. If nothing unexpected happens, they should arrive in three days... no, perhaps even just two."

"Germa 66?"

"Reiju, Niji, Yonji?"

Moke was completely surprised; he never expected these guys to make a move.

He thought it over and over.

But he just couldn't figure out what he had done to offend that old man Judge.

Most importantly, the combined strength of Reiju, Niji, and Yonji is something that even Bastille alone might not be able to defeat.
