"Ahem, Nusjuro, I'm sorry, but Bai Yu is fine now, the new Shichibukai has been killed, and Zephyr has also been seriously injured. There are many things here that I need to handle carefully, otherwise I would be unworthy of the title of strategist. So could you please excuse me for a moment?"
Sengoku coughed lightly and immediately gave the order to leave.
The Nusjuro's expression twisted to the extreme as he felt the gazes directed at him from all around. The next moment, the Roar fury.
"Well, well, what a brat, daring to look down on us Five Elders like this."
"You don't even obey the orders of the Five Elders, so I'll see who you bring back to fill the vacancy of the Shichibukai. If you can't satisfy us, don't blame me for severely punishing you on charges of endangering the safety of the World Government."
"By then, Sengoku, no matter what you say, the outcome will not change."
After saying these words, the Nusjuro abruptly turned and left.
Until the three figures disappeared from sight.
The oppressive atmosphere gradually dissipated.
Garp's tense old face instantly relaxed, and he smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Haha, I knew it! My grandson is truly extraordinary."
"What do you mean my grandson would die? Only a fool would jump into the sea. Damn it, they're the fools."
Seeing Garp's face clear up from its previous daze, the facial muscles of the naval officers present couldn't help but twitch.
For Devil Fruit User, jumping into the sea is a fool's idea; of course, they had considered it.
Faced with such rude remarks, one clearly felt as if they were being indirectly insulted.
Even the old man from the Sengoku blushed slightly and coughed lightly.
" Garp, it's alright. Isn't it expected that this kid is still alive?"
"However, I believe this news will spread quickly, so you should make some preparations first."
"Spread the word?" Garp's expression froze, and a cold glint quickly flashed in the depths of his cloudy old eyes.
"Are you worried that the Five Elders will spread this news, causing Kaido to pursue Bai Yu again?"
Sengoku nodded silently.
Looking back at what has happened, this is indeed a guess.
However, it's not impossible.
"Those damned Five Elders! I've gone through so much trouble to train a successor to the Fleet Admiral, and yet they've repeatedly tripped up my grandson. Do they really think I'm a clay figure to be molded at will?"
Garp's face darkened, but he quickly deflated.
Bai Yu hasn't fallen out with the Five Elders yet, so it's hard for him to find an excuse to go wild.
Right now, all we can do is watch helplessly.
"Alright, don't overthink it. I trust that kid. He should have a foolproof plan after Zephyr sent the message back."
Sengoku sighed and patted Garp on the shoulder.
"Besides, this is just my guess. I think the Five Elders would be wary under the watchful eyes of everyone and wouldn't do such a thing."
"Otherwise, if you old man go berserk, they'll be in deep trouble."
"Of course!" Garp raised an eyebrow proudly.
However, he quickly started to make plans in his mind.
Wano Country, Onigashima ).
Inside the castle built atop a skull.
Three enormous figures gathered in the plaza.
Kaido's face darkened considerably as he looked at the Tobi Roppo gathered there.
After drinking three or four glasses of wine in a row, he finally spoke in a deep voice.
"Alright, the main reason I've gathered you all here is to see who's suitable to fill in for the missing All-Stars."
"That damned brat dared to kill my trusted lieutenant; he's asking for death!"
The torrent of words exploded like thunder.
Seeing Kaido's furious outburst, many people present involuntarily shrank back.
In particular, the pirates guarding the perimeter subconsciously took a half-step back to avoid standing out too much and becoming Kaido's target.
However, compared to them, the Flying Six gathered here did not care about Jack's death at all.
It's fair to say that many of them had long coveted this All-Stars spot.
The tall, Black Maria was the first to approach Kaido, smiling as she poured him a glass of wine.
"Heh, Kaido, since you personally took action, that brat is already dead."
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be the best solution for whoever can avenge Jack to become the All-Stars?"
"Hmph, Black Maria is right. This brat doesn't even need Kaido to lift a finger; I could kill him all by myself." Who's's Who, wearing a red bull's mask, was the first to snort coldly.
Sasaki, dressed in a white officer's uniform, chimed in coldly, "Hmph, Who's, he's only one person, not enough for the two of us to kill. If he's still alive, I'll be the one to kill him."
"It was me!"
"It's me!"
Seeing the situation suddenly turn chaotic, Black Maria was clearly unsurprised.
She knew very well that Flying Six had been eyeing the All-Stars all along.
Now that Bai Yu is dead, we can use verbal attacks to retaliate against his corpse.
Who wouldn't want to gain an advantage through verbal sparring?
However, just as the two were about to draw their swords and clash, Black Maria coughed at the opportune moment.
"Alright, you don't need to argue over a dead man. What Marine Fourth Admiral? Kaido himself came down with the trouble, didn't he scare him into jumping into the sea and committing suicide?"
"Now, the entire ocean knows that this so-called Fourth Admiral is nothing but a Joker."
Joker?
Sasaki and Who's Foz couldn't help but stop.
Verbal sparring is one thing; their real goal is to become the All-Stars.
But before they could speak, a Den Den Mushi ( Den Den Mushi ) rang.
" Kaido, I am Nusjuro the Five Elders. I just received news that that brat Bai Yu is still alive and well in the first half of the Grand Line. Not long ago, he even killed Whitebeard Jr. Edward Weevil. If there are no problems, I would like to talk to you."
Bang!
The wine bowl that Kaido had just placed to his lips was crushed in his hand.
Debris flew everywhere, and the liquor scattered like fireworks.
The Den Den Mushi suddenly spoke, and the person's expression was utterly twisted.
Especially Black Maria, who just a moment ago used Bai Yu's suicide attempt to flatter Kaido.
Now it's not just being patted on the horse's legs.
They even used the Joker" to describe it.
However, Bai Yu is still alive and kicking, and has even casually killed a Whitebeard Jr..
Who is the real Joker?
Instead of personally going out to hunt down Kaido, he was completely outmaneuvered.
Could it be Bai Yu?
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
Who's-Who and Sasaki now wish they could slap themselves for their careless words.
He didn't say anything else, just that he took down Bai Yu on his own.
The person is still alive; what if they really have to take action?
What should we do then?
