The vast sea suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
All the pirates present turned to look at Jack, holding their breath in surprise.
"Boss Jack, don't worry about it, that's probably it!" A pirate captain couldn't help but speak up first.
As soon as they got close...
A huge hand grabbed his head and exerted force in the next moment.
Bang!
His head was crushed with a snap.
The sight of blood splattering everywhere was so horrifying it made people's eyes widen and they fell silent in fear.
Such a bloody scene, and Jack's face twisted with a grim expression, told them that this battle maniac, Jack the Drought, one of the All-Stars, had gone completely insane.
"Pass down my order: whoever can find the whereabouts of the Marine Fourth Admiral, I will recommend him to become Headliner of the Beasts Pirates and succeed Sheepshead as his successor."
"Now, immediately, right now, everyone go find it!"
"Bring him out here! I want to kill him with my own hands!"
Jack issued a series of orders, and the pirates present, without having time to think, all fled.
They knew perfectly well that the Beasts Pirates' reputation was ruined, and Jack the Drought was going crazy.
The instigator of all this was the same person they had just looked down upon, who was considered the Marine Fourth Admiral the Marine Headquarters.
Could it be that this Fourth Admiral is not as simple as he seems?
Inside the Marine Headquarters, in a vast council hall.
Dozens of people were sitting there, staring at the thick stack of urgent documents on the table, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
This new Admiral is indeed quite insane.
Especially his last words, which almost made the generals at headquarters think he had gone mad.
Tell Kaido that he deserves to be cut down.
It takes immense courage to say something like this.
If it were eight or nine out of ten people in this room, they probably wouldn't say such a thing, even when bragging in private.
" Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I really suspect that you deliberately instructed him to do this, to challenge the Beasts Pirates and let that madman Kaido cause us trouble."
Akainu spoke with a grim expression.
He has always been regarded as the Absolute Justice within the Marine Headquarters.
It can be said that, whether within headquarters or at sea, everyone knows he is the number one among the Three Admirals.
However, Bai Yu's sudden appearance and his series of aggressive and crazy actions have undoubtedly suppressed the reputation he has built up step by step.
Now they've even provoked the entire Beasts Pirates.
He even publicly challenged Kaido of the Beasts. If this wasn't at Sengoku's behest, was he truly insane?
"Ahem, can I say that it was really just about sending him to invite the Shichibukai?"
Sengoku coughed lightly and said with a helpless, bitter smile.
Yeah?
Akainu crossed his arms, his face grim.
The rest of the naval officers were also filled with surprise and doubt.
If what Sengoku said is true, Bai Yu's mission for this trip is simply to invite Fire Fist Ace to become Shichibukai.
So now, this mess has been created.
A head-on challenge to Kaido of the Beasts' madness.
Was this really done by Bai Yu alone?
If all of this is true, then what gives Bai Yu, who has just become the Marine Fourth Admiral, the confidence to say such a thing?
"Alright, Garp is holding off Kaido of the Beasts for now."
Crane, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"We need to focus on something else now."
"Not long ago, I received intelligence that Fire Fist Ace and Knight of the Sea Jinbe clashed on an island in the Arans Sea. After fighting for five days and five nights, they were caught by Whitebeard's pirate crew."
"According to rumors, Whitebeard had considered recruiting Fire Fist Ace as his son. Now that Bai Yu is going there rashly, I'm worried something might happen to him."
Another Four Emperors?
Everyone present felt their scalp tingle.
I really wonder if Bai Yu has a special connection with the Four Emperors.
Otherwise, how could he encounter two Four Emperors on a single mission?
Moreover, this is the Kaido of the Beasts, and now he wants to snatch someone from Whitebeard's hands.
In their eyes, that road was a dead end, wasn't it?
"He, do you mean you're worried Bai Yu will be targeted by the Four Emperors and want me to recall him?"
Sengoku couldn't help but speak up.
"You should know very well that this is a task given to him by the Five Elders."
"It seems that from the very beginning, the Five Elders probably received intelligence that Whitebeard had his eye on Fire Fist Ace, and specifically sent Bai Yu to contact and recruit him, intending to use Whitebeard to eliminate Bai Yu. What a ruthless tactic."
Originally, Sengoku hadn't figured out why the mission after Impel Down Great Prison seemed so simple.
Now, faced with all these interconnected intelligence leads, he realized that even as a strategist, he was still too inexperienced in front of these old foxes.
"Ahem, Sengoku, you've talked too much."
He coughed lightly. There were some things he could know, but he couldn't say them aloud.
It can be said that the Warring Sengoku has clearly crossed this line.
The Five Elders are the behind-the-scenes power holders of the World Government.
How many of their people are at Marine Headquarters, or even in this office, is unknown.
After a brief reminder, He quickly changed the subject.
" Sengoku, do you still think that brat can be summoned back? I'm just worried he might lose control and even cut off Whitebeard."
Everyone present was stunned.
Faced with He's words, he felt he had no way to refute them.
In particular, after witnessing firsthand Bai Yu's frenzied fighting spirit.
Now, he's even publicly made the outrageous statement of challenging Kaido of the Beasts.
If we really do meet Whitebeard.
Would he not cut it?
I'm afraid there's only one sentence to it.
Whitebeard smells so good!
Sengoku's cheek muscles twitched involuntarily.
Now he really regrets letting Bai Yu leave the Marine Headquarters.
This ability to court death is pushing him further and further down the path of self-destruction.
"Forget it, I've already arranged for Yamakaji to go to the Arans Sea. Judging by the time, he should be here by now. Hopefully, he can stop Bai Yu. Otherwise, if he provokes two Four Emperors at the same time, I'm really worried that he won't be able to return to Marine Headquarters alive."
He rubbed his slightly throbbing temples.
As someone from the same generation as Garp.
She only now realized that Bai Yu's ability to court death far surpassed that of Garp.
I have a strong urge to suspect that Garp raised Bai Yu specifically to torment the Marine Headquarters.
" Yamakaji?" Sengoku asked after a moment's thought.
"With him personally taking action, I feel a little more at ease. I hope we can find him before Bai Yu and Whitebeard meet, otherwise, I really don't dare to imagine how things might escalate."
One of the Four Emperors of the Sea is enough to strike fear into people's hearts.
Now that Bai Yu is facing two people directly, it's not as simple as double the terror plus one.
This is utter despair!
If he were to actually utter a sentence, Whitebeard would be worth cutting down.
I'm afraid the Sengoku was so desperate that they even contemplated suicide.
