One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 327 Summoning the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
The last war with the Enders broke out in the North Sea, but this time the roles have reversed, with the World Government taking the initiative to enter the New World and launch an attack.

So……

Whitebeard's territory is something you can't avoid no matter what!
The other five elders, after pondering for a moment, all nodded in agreement.

This principle couldn't be clearer.

The Fallen Ones' territory is now the largest among the Four Emperors, but their two core sea areas, the Galactic Sea and the Totto Land Sea, are both located in the middle of the New World.

The Wano Country region, which Kaido controls, is considered the later part of the region.

The seas controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates are mostly concentrated in the area near the entrance to the New World.

To destroy the Fallen Ones, no matter which direction you attack from, Whitebeard's territory is the only way to get through!
"However, that white-bearded man..."

A hint of apprehension flashed in Nasujiro's eyes:
"Although this old guy doesn't seem to have any ambition to conquer the seas, especially since Roger died and he just spends his days playing house with his pirate sons, he's still the guy with the title of 'World's Strongest Man,' and definitely not to be underestimated!"

"Hmph, just a bunch of old-fashioned remnants of the past."

Garin interrupted with a cold laugh. The only person he was wary of now was Xia Nuo. "Let Kong stay at headquarters, and send out the other three generals!"

"Two generals will be responsible for working together to suppress Whitebeard!"

"The other person is responsible for eliminating those captains who are ranked higher!"

"We don't need to worry too much about the remaining mid-level pirates. Even though we don't have enough senior vice admirals right now, we still have the Seven Warlords of the Sea. We only need to gather two or three of them, plus the Pacifistas, and even on their home turf, we can still maintain a firm advantage!"

"In this way, we will definitely be able to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates in one battle!"

Garin spoke with absolute certainty, but after a moment of silence, "Jupiter" Pittor shook his head:

"not enough."

"Not enough?" Garin frowned.

"With all three admirals present, they can naturally defeat the Whitebeard Pirates without any doubt, but it will be difficult to achieve a quick victory."

Piet Saint said calmly, "An admiral eliminates a top-ranked captain? Don't forget, Marco alone could hold off an admiral for half a day."

"really."

"Mercury" Vochuli Saint nodded in agreement, "Defeating him is not difficult, but it will take a lot of time. No matter how secretive our advance is, once a war of this scale breaks out, the other sea emperors of the New World will inevitably receive the news and may intervene."

Will the Red-Haired Society get involved?

No one can figure this out. Even Garin himself can't fathom what this son of the Ferrangadu family is thinking now.

Will Kaido intervene?

I'm still unsure.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates have had many conflicts in recent years, and even fought a war.

However, neither of the two maritime emperors ever personally fought each other.

Considering that Kaido and Whitebeard were shipmates decades ago;

Moreover, they have a very good personal relationship.

Who knows, Kaido might actually transform into a blue dragon and come alone to join in the fun.

"A single move can have far-reaching consequences, so if we're going to take action, we must do so with overwhelming force and crush the Whitebeard Pirates as quickly as possible!"

Nassou Sei coldly added:

"Besides the Navy, we need to commit more resources. The Knights of God should also be mobilized in full force. I will personally lead them, waiting for the Whitebeard Pirates to be exhausted before launching a full-scale attack and utterly crushing them!"

"As for the possible intervention from Kaido and Shanks..."

Nassuro looked up and gazed at Mercury on his right.

"Ah."

"Mercury" Sacred Jewel nodded and said in a deep voice, "I am on standby in the Holy Land at any time. If Kaido makes a move, I will be responsible for intercepting him."

His Mythical Zoan ability allows him to transform into a giant boar-like beast called Fengxi, renowned for its unparalleled defensive capabilities.

Even if he's a bit weaker than Kaido in a one-on-one fight, stopping him shouldn't be a problem at all.

"Then leave the redhead's side to me."

Pittor Saint replied calmly, then smiled and looked at Garin, "As for the last remaining Yonko, if there are any unusual movements, I'll leave it to you. Your main task is to monitor him. Even if there are unusual movements, you don't need to defeat him, just intercept him. Garin, can you do that?"

You can do that, my ass...

Garin instantly became furious, but thankfully he managed to hold back the curse that was about to spill from his mouth, for the sake of saving face.

He thought those three old men had really put aside their past grievances and started working together with him.

In the end, they still have to secretly disgust people and throw the toughest bones at themselves!
In the past, people on the sea would argue heatedly about who was stronger, Kaido or Whitebeard.

But now, nobody argues about this anymore.

Because even if you ask a child of a few years old, they will answer without hesitation that the strongest sea emperor in the world today is named Shano!
"How can we assume that all four emperors were aware of the situation and took action?"

Garin didn't respond, but instead coldly questioned, "If you're really so worried about the news leaking out, humph, in my opinion, you might as well just drop a bombshell and attract the attention of those other companies."

"That's a good suggestion."

Sacred Vochuli narrowed his eyes. "But Garin, what bombshell news do you have that can attract the attention of three Yonko at the same time, while keeping Whitebeard unmoved?"

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't find it!"

Garin sneered, beckoned to a CP0 agent outside, whispered a few words to him, and the agent understood and hurriedly left.

A short while later, he brought a photograph and carefully placed it on the table.

The gazes of the other five elders immediately focused on that direction.

— He was a middle-aged man with a somewhat sleazy appearance, dark skin, an afro, yellow teeth, and wearing clothes that didn't fit him very well, making him look quite comical.

"Who is this guy?"

"Festival shop, or festival store."

Garin crossed his legs and said casually, "These two titles are quite famous in the underworld. It's normal that you guys, who have been high above for hundreds of years, don't know them. I only met them by chance when I was on a mission in the lower realm before, and we cooperated together."

"This guy's real name is Buena Festa. He's an absolute schemer. What he craves most is to host a grand pirate expo and have all the famous pirates participate."

Garin tapped the photo with his fingers. "And he happens to have something that even the Four Emperors couldn't refuse, which can be used as the final prize for the World Expo."

"Oh?" Nasujiro squinted. "What is it?"

"The treasure Roger claimed, ONE PIECE."

Garin sneered, "To be precise, it's the permanent pointer to Laugh Tale!"

Permanent pointer?

The five elders were all taken aback.

What does this mean? It means that whoever gets this will no longer need to painstakingly collect the four red road sign texts; they can directly pinpoint the coordinates of the final island, Laugh Tale!

"it is true?"

"I don't know if it's true or not." Garin picked up his black tea and took a sip. "But that doesn't matter to us, does it? As long as it's spread and makes those pirates somewhat skeptical, that's enough."

This is true...

The three elders nodded subconsciously. With the news of the Pirate Expo spreading, it was hard to say whether Shanks, the former apprentice of Roger's Pirates, or Shano and Kaido, would be able to resist going to participate.

But Whitebeard had absolutely no interest in Laugh Tale or One Piece.

Therefore, this bait was extremely attractive to the other three Yonko, but it did not affect the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates, which perfectly suited their needs.

"Great idea!"

Nasujiro nodded. "Then let's do it this way, Garin. I'm starting to look at you in a new light!"

It's enough to earn the master's trust and respect; what do you need to admire?
Garin inwardly scoffed, but outwardly maintained his composure, nodding slightly.
"You flatter me. Since everyone agrees with this plan, let's arrange for the CP department to contact Festa as soon as possible to ensure that the Expo can be held at the same time as our attack. As for the specific timing..."

dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, which was then pushed open from the outside, and a beautiful young maid wearing a veil appeared in the doorway.

Upon seeing the maid who had entered without permission, none of the Five Elders reprimanded her. Instead, they were all startled and instinctively stood up.

"Master, we are already aware of your plans."

The beautiful maid spoke calmly: "The rest of the arrangements are fine, there's only one thing she's not very satisfied with and needs to make some changes, so she asked me to invite you all to the flower room to talk."

"Does the master want to see us?"

"Not satisfied?"

The five elders exchanged glances, cold sweat beading on their foreheads, but dared not hesitate for a moment. They nodded and followed the maid, anxiously heading towards the flower room...

------

The first half of the Grand Line, Kuraigana Island.

On the fog-shrouded terrace of the ancient castle, Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea, put down his newspaper and gazed into the distance.

Those eyes, which were quite similar to Im's, narrowed slightly.

"Not only the Navy, but even the Five Elders have become prey?"

It's really fun.

It's good to live a long life; you can even witness such a reversal of the natural order.

He flipped through the wanted posters of the Five Elders and noticed that both the newspapers and these wanted posters had these two lines marked on them:
"A bounty of one billion Berries will be placed on all Celestial Dragons, life or death!"

"Those who fear retribution may seek refuge in the territory of the Fallen Ones, for the Fallen Ones guarantee your absolute safety!"

This happened.

It's hard to say how the high-ranking officials of the Navy and the World Government will react, but the Celestial Dragons are probably terrified and won't even dare to leave the Holy Land.

Mihawk picked up his glass of red wine, took a small sip, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips.

Those pampered Celestial Dragons, used to lording it over others, would frequently descend to the mortal realm to capture or buy slaves.

Who would have thought that one day I would be put up for sale?
With a bounty of one billion Berries, coupled with the promise of protection from the Fallen Ones, if a Celestial Dragon who doesn't believe in evil were to appear in the lower realm, countless desperados would flock to him.

Mihawk looked toward the new world.

Given the current momentum of the eventual demise, the company certainly has the right to do so. It's just unknown where this storm sweeping the world will ultimately lead the ocean.

The so-called new era's tide is truly becoming more and more surging.

Even a reclusive and withdrawn person like him could clearly sense it.

Speaking of which...

My stupid apprentice must be having a very comfortable time there now, right?

It seems there's no need to doubt it.

No matter what, it's still better than his dilapidated castle, where he comes back bruised and battered by baboons every day, and still has to serve tea and water to his unreasonable master.

Thinking back on the moments they shared over the past year, Mihawk couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

Brubru~
Just then, the Den Den Mushi, which he hadn't used in a long time, suddenly rang, interrupting his thoughts.

"What kind of boring meeting is this time?"

Mihawk frowned slightly, put down his wine glass, and went to the Den Den Mushi.

As the most powerful of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he is also the most aloof, making it difficult for the Marine Headquarters to contact him.

As for the Seven Warlords of the Sea meeting, he almost never attended it.

This time, he intended to ignore it as well.

But then he suddenly remembered the embarrassing state of the World Government as reported in the newspapers recently, and a smile crept onto his lips. In the end, he still pressed the answer button.

"Hawkeye, I am empty."

From the other end came a deep and authoritative old man's voice:

"You must arrive at Marineford within seven days to attend the highest-level meeting. As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you must be there this time."

Mihawk narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Oh? It's the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces himself calling. It seems this time is different from the past; something extraordinary has happened?"

"good."

Kong said in a deep voice, "Don't rush to refuse. I understand your feelings. You don't care about any reward, but a great swordsman like you must be looking for a worthy opponent, right?"

"This is your chance. The World Government is about to launch a war. However, due to the need for secrecy, I cannot tell you who the specific enemy is for the time being."

"But I can assure you over the phone that there happens to be a world-renowned swordsman on the other side who can be challenged to a one-on-one duel, allowing you to fully indulge your passion for swordsmanship. How about it?"

Mihawk's expression changed as expected.

"A great swordsman?"

A rare hint of interest flickered in his deep voice, "For you to use such words to describe someone, could it be..."

"You probably guessed it already, anyway, to come or not to..."

"Get me to Marineford within five days and prepare some red wine."

Hawkeye hung up the phone after saying that.

Back on the terrace.

When he looked toward the new world again, he couldn't help but draw the black sword from behind him and gently stroke it.

I've finally waited for this day!

Having repeatedly missed each other on the vast ocean, he eventually gave up and began to doubt whether he and the other person were truly destined to be apart.

Now, is there finally an opportunity?
Swish!
The black sword was sheathed, and Hawkeye's gaze became resolute!
Don't blame me for standing against you, Shano!

You've stolen the title of the world's greatest swordsman for some time now. It's time for me to use this black sword, Yoru, to ask who truly deserves this title!
