December 3, 1510 ( Sea Circle Calendar )
After the Battle of North Blue, a three-way power struggle officially began.
Of course, if other factions knew about the relationship between the Sky Empire, the Germa Kingdom, and Yisheng, it would be absolutely explosive Big News Morgans.
With these plans completed, as long as he controls the North Blue Navy, it means that the entire North Blue will fall under the control of the Liberator Organization.
The dramatic changes brought about by the tides of the times have caused many things to deviate from the original timeline, but some things are difficult to change.
For example, the Sun Pirates, who had been roaming the Paradise, saw their luck run out, even though the rise of the Liberator Organization and the Sky Empire made the Navy relax its encirclement and suppression efforts.
December 5th.
During their escape, the Sun Pirates encountered Aramaki, who had just been promoted to Marine Admiral. Fisher Tiger didn't even have a chance to be saved; he was directly sucked dry by Aramaki.
Although the Sun Pirates successfully escaped to the seabed under Jinbe's leadership by exploiting the fact that Devil Fruit users cannot go to sea, the cost was heavy losses for the Sun Pirates.
Meanwhile, Arlong and his companions, whose hearts were already consumed by hatred, were captured by the Navy.
Jinbe, Aladdin, and the others could only slip back to Fish-Man Island with the remaining Sun Pirates.
As for why Noah didn't lend a helping hand in this matter...
The reason is that the other party refused.
A year ago, Noah had secretly contacted Ray with Fisher Tiger, warning him to be careful of being betrayed by the slaves or their relatives, to send him away discreetly, and not to stay on land for too long. However, Tiger did not trust Ray, a human, and Arlong even spoke rudely to him, almost leading to a fight.
Although the Sun Pirates were indeed much more careful afterward, they were not discovered by the Navy or Cipher Pol when they sent Koala back.
Koala spent half a month in her hometown before her uncle betrayed her, revealing her status as Celestial Dragons slave, and the Distillery seized the opportunity to acquire her.
As for the reason why the Sun Pirates got into trouble this time...
It's just that this guy, Arlong, was too arrogant. During one of his island landings, he was discovered by CP Agent. Vivre Card were secretly slipped into his supplies, which led to his location being pinpointed by the Navy.
They happened to run into Aramaki and his fleet passing by nearby, which nearly led to the annihilation of the Sun Pirates.
Since Noah had already given a heads-up through Ray, and the other party had refused the Liberator Organization's offer, he naturally wouldn't make a move again.
Sometimes you have to learn to let go of your helpfulness and respect other people's fates; after all, it's hard to persuade a stubborn person with kind words.
Time flies like an arrow, as fleeting as a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.
Before we knew it, it was the beginning of 1511.
After being coerced and bribed by the World Government, all Shichibukai finally arrived.
The World Government's newspaper announced three new candidates for the Shichibukai.
They are: Hancock, the Pirate Empress; Tyrant Kuma, the Jinbe of the Knight of the Sea.
The three joined the Shichibukai for different reasons, yet they also shared a common fate.
Boa Hancock is doing this because the Calm Belt is no longer safe, and if she doesn't agree to become Shichibukai, Amazon Lily will become the Navy's target.
Tyrant Kuma sought help from Vegapunk to treat his adopted daughter Bonney's Sapphire Scale Disease, while Saint Saturn took the opportunity to demand that Kuma join the Shichibukai, using Bonney as a hostage.
Jinbe became Shichibukai in order to rescue Arlong and the others imprisoned in Impel Down, and due to pressure from the World Government on the Ryugu Kingdom.
With this, all Shichibukai have arrived.
They are Crocodile, Gecko Moria, Huazha, King of Lizards ), Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo), Hancock ( Pirate Empress), Tyrant Kuma, and Jinbe Knight of the Sea ).
For a time, the deterrent power of World Government seemed to experience a brief resurgence.
After all, the combined strength of the Admiral of the Navy, the Shichibukai, and some high-level combat forces hidden by the World Government is enough to suppress the Sky Empire, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and the Liberator Organization.
The premise of this deterrent effect is that the outside world is unaware of the true nature of the Liberator Organization.
After all, the Sky Empire, the Germa Kingdom, the three Shichibukai, plus the headquarters of the Liberator Organization, are almost on par with the World Government.
Clearly, it would be difficult for outsiders to guess this almost impossible truth.
At the same time that the three new Shichibukai arrived.
West Blue, Bolo Sea.
The Donquixote Family's temporary headquarters was located in the Cedar Islands in that sea area.
For the past six months, Doflamingo has not been too high-profile, partly because the Donquixote Family are outsiders, and partly because he is observing the changing world situation.
After more than five months of adjustment, he had also gained a preliminary understanding of some intelligence about the West Blue.
" The Flower Country, the Capone Family, the Gambino Family..."
" Doffy, if we can subdue those two Mafia families, we can not only recover, but even surpass what we were before." Slug Trebol was covered in slime.
"Really? Fro..." Doflamingo suddenly laughed, then turned to look at his younger brother:
" Rosinante, my brother! Can you tell me why the navy discovered the Seastone weapons on Sowthistle Island?"
Rosinante, the Joker standing to the side, still looked at Doflamingo with a puzzled expression.
"Are you going to keep up the act? I've only told Trebol, Pica, and you about this, and there's nothing in that secret warehouse."
Rosinante's pupils contracted, and after a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "When did you start to doubt me?"
"You said you were mute, but Buffalo saw you open your mouth to speak in the cabin, but no sound came out."
Doflamingo's voice was very calm. "And when I recall the numerous raids we were launched against us by the Navy, I discovered that you were one of the insiders of every single deal or plan, while those deals and plans that went undetected were ones you were unaware of."
"That's why I deliberately orchestrated the attack on the Sowthistle Island warehouse. I so desperately hope that Buffalo was mistaken, I so desperately hope that the Sowthistle Island warehouse wasn't raided by the navy, Rosinante!"
A terrifying surge of Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted.
Rosinante stared intently at Doflamingo: "From the moment you killed your father, you completely fell into the clutches of evil."
"Hahaha... That guy who dragged us into this mess, that guy who killed my mother, that naive guy, he doesn't deserve to live in this Hell, he should go to heaven!"
"..." Rosinante fell silent.
Farewell, my dear brother!
Pfft...
Countless needles pierced Rosinante's body.
Doflamingo silently turned around and lit a cigar. "Hoo..."
With a click, the windproof lighter flicked out of his hand and gently fell into the gasoline can beside him.
Boom! Flames instantly spread, engulfing Rosinante's body, and soon the entire house was ablaze.
Doflamingo left without looking back.
Trebol and Pica remained silent throughout, following Doflamingo as they left.
at the same time.
The SWORD Secret Archives at Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
A glass bottle marked 00528 contained Vivre Card that quickly ignited and vanished in moments.
The naval captain in charge frowned and quickly reported the matter to Sengoku, because the SWORD was a secret organization directly managed by Sengoku.
Upon seeing the report, Sengoku couldn't help but shed tears. " Little Rice Cracker..."
