Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 417 The Seven Warlords of the Sea Summoning Order, Three Brocade Pouches

Snapped.

With another muffled thud, the Sunny Merry flew away from the harbor and into the distance. Lola and her group were completely ignored by the bear, who let them set sail again.

For some unknown reason, the dense fog in the Devil's Triangle caused sunlight to fall on Moria's pale face.

"Where's the Straw Hat Boy...?"

"You escaped using some unknown means. The rest is none of your business, but I have already reported your failure truthfully."

No matter how this matter turns out, Kuma doesn't need to bear any responsibility. He's not the Tyrant Kuma anymore, and he's not holding the title of Shichibukai.

Ultimately, he was just another Shichibukai sent to deliver a message and prevent certain unexpected situations from happening.

The eyewitness on the island is Lola's Rolling Pirates, but they have already set sail and their whereabouts are unknown.

Moreover, the testimonies of these pirates are completely worthless.

Even if they were to speak, the only answer they would get would be that the bear used some mysterious power to vaporize the person, and nothing else.

If Moria wins, nothing unexpected will happen. Therefore, no matter what, this matter will ultimately be Moria's problem, so Kuma will naturally not feel any pressure.

Moria said nothing, got up from the ground, and walked to the ruins to pick up stones.

According to his previous memory, Hogback was buried here by the ruins, and he had to move his men out.

Meanwhile, Oran had already compiled a brief summary of what the Straw Hat crew had done on Thriller Bark and then notified the World Government.

"Moria failed. I never expected that this group would defeat two Shichibukai in a row."

"Is it possible that these people have some special abilities? After all, his ability is that... even the people Siddiel sent out couldn't capture him, right?"

"Who knows? Maybe Siddiel was careless. There's nothing we can do about it. That area was originally the territory of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so Siddiel really didn't need to send any particularly strong officers."

Moreover, that fruit always escapes in inexplicable ways; perhaps the person who eats it also possesses this talent.

That said, the Seven Warlords of the Sea organization seems to be increasingly unable to fulfill its intended purpose.

Since the establishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, there have been several personnel changes. Although there are some steadfast veteran members, many weak individuals have become stepping stones for others.

"The Pacifista project has been well received, the PX0 has demonstrated sufficient force to deal with the current situation, and the new project at Vegapunk's place is also on track."

Once Vegapunk's project is completed, the Seven Warlords of the Sea organization can be abolished, and a new war can begin.

"It's a joke that Roger's offspring became Whitebeard's son."

During this time, the Five Elders had finalized their decision on the Marineford War and planned to publicly execute Ace.

If Whitebeard doesn't come to the rescue, his reputation built up over the years will be instantly destroyed; if he does come, he will fall directly into the trap prepared for him by the Navy.

There are some dissenting voices within the Navy regarding this war. Whitebeard and others are known as the Four Emperors, but the threat level of pirates varies in degree.

Overall, the Whitebeards are not the most dangerous force; in fact, they maintain the balance of the New World and protect some of its islands.

However, the Five Elders never listen to the Navy's opinions, and even if they do listen to one of their opinions, it's only because they already want to do it that way.

The order to wage war eventually reached the Navy Headquarters, and the Navy has now begun drawing elite forces from around the world to prepare for the impending war.

The World Government was not idle either. Although they would not send their own elite forces to participate in the war, they began to issue summons to the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

In Alabasta, Crocodile met with agents sent by the World Government.

Although the Straw Hat crew defeated him here, Crocodile's plot to seize power was not exposed, he did not go to Ryuba to seek enlightenment, and his base is still in this desert.

"Guhahaha..."

"Crocodile, what's so funny?! This is an order from the World Government. As a Shichibukai, you need to accept this forced conscription..."

"I know I don't need you to remind me of this."

Is the World Government about to wage war against Whitebeard? How interesting, this ocean certainly isn't content to remain silent. Publicly executing that guy's son—is this igniting a powder keg in the New World?

Crocodile took a puff of his cigar, then waved to the CP agent to indicate that he understood the situation before dismissing him.

"President, are we going to join the war?"

After the World Government personnel left, a bald man approached. Since being defeated by the Straw Hat crew, Crocodile had disbanded his Baroque Works, leaving only Mr. 1.

Crocodile considered everyone else as weak and useless, with no value whatsoever.

Crocodile didn't care what happened to those people afterward, or whether they were hunted down by the Navy.

Without the protection of the Seven Warlords of the Sea flag, they are just ordinary criminals and can no longer enjoy any immunity. The Navy can arrest them directly according to the original rules.

"Hmm, the Marine Headquarters plus the Seven Warlords of the Sea to fight the Whitebeard Pirates, that's quite a big move. But how many of them will actually go all out?"

Crocodile fiddled with the chess pieces on the table, analyzing the battle situation. Judging from the data on the paper, Whitebeard had virtually no chance of winning.

He is facing the current three admirals of the Navy, the Fleet Admiral, and the Navy Hero. No matter how strong he is, he cannot take on five opponents alone.

There are monsters among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Crocodile doesn't know how much Piltover will contribute to this war, or whether Hawkeye will take it seriously.

Anyway, he felt it was unlikely. At least he himself couldn't fight for the navy regardless of everything. Although it was difficult to refuse the conscription, it wouldn't be hard to take advantage of the situation.

"Get ready, Mr. 1. This war will open your eyes to a whole new world. If you can't get stronger, I'll abandon you sooner or later."

"Yes, I understand, President."

Meanwhile, in the doldrums near Amazon Lily, a warship was anchored on the sea.

Although the bottom of the warship is inlaid with seastone, the energy emitted by the seastone makes the sea kings regard it as part of the sea.

However, the "invisibility" of Seastone does not mean that the crew will completely disappear from the sea kings' perception. If the people on the ship keep dancing, the noise they make will still attract the sea kings' attention. Therefore, the crew needs to remain quiet when sailing in the Calm Belt.

Beside the warship lay a massive carcass, a sea king that had surfaced to sunbathe and happened to spot the warship anchored there, leading to the conflict.

"Vice Admiral Rat, should we continue waiting? This Sea King's blood might attract even more Sea Kings..."

"Wait a little longer. If there's no response, we'll consider it a disregard for the initial call and discuss it again later."

Among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Boa Hancock's recruitment was undoubtedly the most difficult. Since taking over as a Warlord, she has never appeared at any Warlords meeting, and many Marines at headquarters have never even seen what she looks like in person.

We haven't officially entered the war stage yet, and there's still plenty of time. The rat's orders have only been communicated, without any instructions to immediately bring Hancock to the battlefield.

Just as Rat's patience was wearing thin and he was preparing to return home, Kuja's pirate ship finally arrived late. Moreover, Hancock herself was not on board, and she dismissed the Navy fleet with only a statement that she did not want to participate.

Without a specific order from the World Government, the Navy could not do anything to the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Therefore, Rat did not delay and reported the news directly to headquarters. He then left the Calm Belt and went to a safer area to wait for new orders.

Hancock is undoubtedly the most difficult of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to recruit; the recruitment process for the other Marines was much smoother.

Moria was given another "chance." According to the World Government, as long as he did his best in the war, his previous failures could be ignored.

"Hehehehe... War? Whitebeard's shadow and his corpse... whichever I get, I can finally exact my revenge on Kaido!"

Even after being defeated, Moria failed to achieve enlightenment and continued to set his sights on even more powerful corpses and shadows. The messenger didn't care what Moria said; as long as he kept his promise, that was enough.

On Kuraigana Island, Hawkeye also accepted the summons, saying he wanted to witness the power of the world's strongest man.

Blackbeard seemed quite pleased with himself; in fact, he was probably the first of the Seven Warlords to know about it.

Since arriving at Marine Headquarters with Ace, Ace has been imprisoned in Impel Down, but Blackbeard has not left Marine Headquarters. Instead, he has been waiting there, plotting his next move.

Weebull has expressed his dissatisfaction with this.

"You actually want me to go after my dad?! Dream on! Get out of here!!"

"Silly son, you're wrong to think that way. We must participate in this war and kill all those liars who deceived your father, so that he will only be your father."

"Oh? I see. I understand. I'll try my best!"

The once aggressive Weevil instantly lost all resistance and obediently began pre-battle preparations according to Bakkin's orders.

However, the most unusual gathering location was in Piltover, where one of Oran's old acquaintances, Gaspard, came to deliver the summons.

"Not bad, you've already risen to the rank of lieutenant general. It seems you've put in some effort over the years."

"Thanks to you, but this is the limit; it's impossible to go any higher."

Gaspardine was able to recognize the facts; with credits handed to him by others, Gaspardine's promotion process wasn't particularly difficult.

In order to truly secure his position, Gaspard forced himself to train, eventually reaching the average level of a lieutenant general and being able to undertake the normal tasks of a lieutenant general.

The next rank above that is Admiral, and strength is a must to attain the position of Admiral.

Without the strength of a general, no matter how many merits one makes, it is impossible to be appointed to the position of general, since the responsibilities of a general are completely different from those of a lieutenant general.

At this point, all Gaspard could improve was his reputation. Fortunately, Gaspard had accomplished many great things over the years, such as thwarting the Don Quixote family's conspiracy, saving Dressrosa, purging corruption in the East Blue, and cracking down on crime in the North Blue.

With Garp gradually aging, the Navy is also establishing new role models, and Gaspard has been successfully selected, making him one of the leading figures among the Navy's new generation.

Moreover, he has a good relationship with the Navy's high command. Even Akainu only described Gaspard as a peacock that flaunts its feathers everywhere, a Navy officer with his own live-streaming camera.

Although he likes to show off, he hasn't completely betrayed the spirit of "justice."

"This time, the Navy plans to use Fire Fist Ace as bait to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates at Marineford, using Whitebeard's death to curb the increasingly rampant pirate group."

The summons for the Seven Warlords of the Sea has been issued, but don't worry. As Fleet Admiral Sengoku instructed, you only need to bring some weapons as a token gesture. When the war begins, you can be responsible for protecting the Navy's logistics warehouses.

In the eyes of the Warring States period, whether Oran participated in the war was not important; what mattered were the people under Oran's command.

Sengoku doesn't expect Oran to send Lyriana directly into battle; the navy's high-end combat power is sufficient, and only some large-scale war weapons are needed as aid.

"in addition..:"

"Alright, I know all this information, even more thoroughly than you do. With your current reputation in the Navy, how many people can believe your words?"

"Well... I can't say for sure, but if I insist that something is true, even if it doesn't exist at all, quite a few people will still believe me."

Gaspard didn't dare to give a definitive answer, and finally gave a vague one.

Oran didn't pay much attention to this matter. Gaspard didn't say he couldn't do it right away, which meant he had some ability to some extent.

"That's enough. War is the best opportunity for soldiers to gain fame and military merit. You have to work hard too."

"Well...King Oran, although I tried my best, don't you think this level of combat is a bit too much for me?"

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything. There are three things to do, and if you do these three things well, you will surely achieve great success."

First, Blackbeard would sneak away during the war to storm Impel Down and free the hardened criminals.

"What?!"

Oran's words, as if he had foreseen the future, left Gaspard stunned. Even though the Golden Lion had successfully escaped, Impel Down was still seen as an impenetrable fortress. Now, Oran was saying that someone was going to break into the prison, which was truly a fantasy.

"Second, we should push for the alliance between Shiryu Ameno, the warden of Shirohara, and Blackbeard."

"this.,"

"Third, this is the defense map of Marineford, but you've overlooked one location—underwater. You can fill in that point when the operations meeting begins."
