Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 363 Warring States Marshal: Drinking tea and reading the newspaper, what a delightful thing!

1519 in the Haiyuan calendar.

The morning of New Year's Day.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters arrived at his office as usual and began handling his daily affairs, just like he had for ten years.

After dealing with some internal matters within the navy, Sengoku turned his attention to matters concerning pirates.

The first thing that caught Sengoku's attention was, of course, the movements of the pirate emperors of the New World.

"The Whitebeard Pirates—"

Sengoku began to peruse the intelligence and information he had gathered from the New World.

"The Second Division Captain left the Whitebeard Pirates and has been operating independently on the high seas. He has already gathered several subordinates and formed the 'Blackbeard Pirates' — Hmph!"

Sengoku looked at the pirate flag printed on the intelligence document.

Among the four evenly distributed, intersecting white bones, there are three chilling white skulls.

This is the flag of the Blackbeard Pirates!

"They actually dared to name their pirate crew the 'Blackbeard Pirates'—Whitebeard's son certainly has big ambitions!"

Sengoku stared at the Blackbeard Pirates' photos for a while before glancing at the names of the crew members.

"Gizas Burgess, Van Augur, Lafitte, Doc Q—they're all relatively unknown figures. As for the captain's name—"

Sengoku fell silent the moment he saw the captain of the Blackbeard Pirates' real name.

Marshall D. Teach?

Another "D"?

and.

Another "Teach"?

Sengoku quickly elevated the importance of the Blackbeard Pirates to a whole new level in his mind.

If he had only paid attention to the pirate crew before because of Blackbeard Teach's identity as "Whitebeard's son" and "the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates," then...

At this point, Sengoku was simply paying attention to the "Blackbeard Pirates" because of the person "Blackbeard Teach"!

"I hope this guy isn't as special as I imagine—"

Sengoku took a deep look at the intelligence documents in his hand.

Considering that the Blackbeard Pirates haven't made any big moves yet.

Apart from Blackbeard Teach, there is no other "famous pirate" in the entire crew.

Sengoku merely increased his vigilance towards the Blackbeard Pirates, but had no immediate plans to do anything to them.

There are plenty of great pirates in the New World.

The Blackbeard Pirates are not yet worthy of the Navy's "special attention"!

Apart from the Blackbeard Pirates.

The rest of the intelligence on the Whitebeard Pirates is rather unremarkable.

Sengoku then looked at the next piece of information about the "Emperor Pirate Crew".

Dawn Pirates!

"Recently, the Dawn Pirates have been continuously planting their 'Red Dragon Flag' in the territories that originally belonged to the Red-Haired Pirates..."

The Red-Haired Pirates have not yet commented on or expressed any opinion on this matter.

"Considering the friction between the Red-Haired Pirates and the Red Dragon Emperor, as well as this 'territory dispute,' a massive war between the Emperor Pirates is likely to erupt in the New World."

Upon seeing this, Sengoku's brows furrowed at first, then relaxed.

A war between the Dawn Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates seems inevitable.

The Navy certainly needs to remain highly vigilant about this impending war.

but.

The New World is not, after all, the Navy's "home ground".

The Warring States wanted to use this war to make some small moves, but they didn't have enough power to get involved.

"Let's wait and see."

Sengoku put down the intelligence documents in his hand and silently prayed.

"It would be best if the Dawn Pirates completely defeated the Red-Haired Pirates!"

"That way, the Navy will have one less major enemy in the New World!"

The intelligence data only contained information about the Dawn Pirates, but not about the movements of the Red-Haired Pirates.

The Warring States period did not deeply consider the significance behind this event.

In his view, there was a long-standing grudge between the Dawn Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates.

Yasopp, a high-ranking officer of the Red-Haired Pirates, was killed by the Dawn Pirates.

The last small "war" that took place in the Sabaody Archipelago.

It ended in a crushing defeat for the Red-Haired Pirates.

This time.

The Dawn Pirates are "bullying" the Red-Haired Pirates again.

There has been no news from the Red-Haired Pirates for a long time.

It is estimated to be in —·

Should we call for reinforcements?

Sengoku shook his head, then checked the movements of the Beasts Pirates.

The Beasts Pirates are based in Wano Country, deep within the New World.

It is difficult for external forces to enter Wano Country and observe the Beasts Pirates' actions up close.

Therefore, the information about the Beasts Pirates is very simple, consisting of only one sentence.

"Kaido of the Beasts is living in seclusion in Wano Country."

Zhan Guo frowned again.

Kaido, the "mad dragon" of the Beasts, hasn't caused any trouble for so long...

It's really strange.

But this can also be considered a fortunate thing.

Sengoku cleared his mind of distractions, took a deep breath, and solemnly read the intelligence and movements of the Last Emperor Pirate Crew.

Storm Pirates!

"The vast archipelago where Totto Land is located has had all its islands completely gathered together by an unknown force."

A massive, super-large island was formed with Cake Island as its core.

"Punk Hazard landed in the original location of Candy Island—the island managed by Charlotte Perospero—and became the second core area of ​​the Kingdom of Tales, with extremely heavy defenses."

"Golden Emperor Gild Tesoro, Queen of the Pleasure District Stussy, Big News Bird Morgans, Crocodile Crocodile, Gecko Moria and many other big names have gathered in the territory of Whole Cake Island. The specific reason is unknown. Sengoku looked at the intelligence information about Whole Cake Island in his hand and felt his temples throbbing wildly."

Compared to the other "quiet" pirate emperors.

This "White Dragon Emperor" has made far too many big moves!

And what are those people from the Golden Emperor doing gathered in the Land of Treasures?

Is it possible that they are planning to restart the "tea party"?

Zhan Guo felt a chill run down his spine.

He had initially thought that Storm's defeat of Charlotte Linlin meant the Storm Pirates had replaced Big Big.

The MOM Pirates are a good thing.

However, judging from this intelligence data, the Storm Pirates have rapidly grown into a force surpassing BI.

The GMOM Pirates' Super Pirate Crew!

"Vongola Storm was originally a member of the Navy!"

The idea involuntarily arose in Sengoku's mind.

Why did it turn out like this?

"Who made him the Pirate Emperor?!"

During this period of time, Zhan Guo often thought about this matter.

Watching the "White Dragon Emperor" continuously develop and expand his power in the new world.

Sengoku always fantasized that his opponent was still a member of the navy.

Occasionally, Sengoku would fantasize about other scenarios, such as, "I have a great general, Hakuryu, who can slay the Whitebeard!"

some type of.

But now.

The feeling during the Warring States period was one of regret.

I regret it so much, I regret it terribly, I regret it to the extreme.

The Warring States period was filled with regret and roaring.

Putting aside Topman Vochuli, the other four Elders are all idiots too!!!

After reading the information from the entire kingdom, Sengoku suddenly had the idea of ​​"giving up".

This admiral is really about to lose his position!

But work still needs to be done...

Sengoku took several deep breaths to calm his agitated emotions and began to focus on other pirate information.

The Pirate Emperor of the New World, other great pirate crews, the Supernovas of Paradise, and special newcomers emerging from the four outer seas.

After reviewing the information throughout the Warring States period, he eventually focused his attention on intelligence data related to the South China Sea.

This isn't because he was born in the South China Sea, so he's particularly concerned about things there.

It was only because news of three very special rookie pirates came from the naval branch base in the South China Sea.

Killer is the user of the Weasel-Weasel Fruit.

Eustass Kid is the user of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit.

And Portgas D. Ace!

According to information from the South China Sea, these three rookie pirates are incredibly powerful, and the naval captain at the branch base has absolutely no way to deal with them.

These three pirates are now heading towards the Grand Line —

Sengoku's gaze lingered on Kira and Kid for a moment before shifting away.

Mythical Zoan type Devil Fruit user, and also a user of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit.

It is indeed very special.

However, compared to the last person, Sengoku felt that the first two rookie pirates were insignificant.

"South China Sea, Ace, and 'D'" —

If these three key pieces of intelligence were considered separately, the Warring States period would not have attached such importance to them.

But they appeared together!

Sengoku connected these three key pieces of information in his mind, and he immediately thought of one person.

Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King!

Roger's last known location was in the South China Sea.

Roger's sword was Ace, one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords...

Roger's full name is "Gol D. Roger," which also contains a "D" —

Honestly.

If it weren't for the fact that Ace's last name is "Portgas" instead of "Gol".

Sengoku almost mistook this young rookie pirate for Roger's son!

It should be noted that more than a decade ago, the World Government and the Navy Headquarters launched a brutal manhunt and massacre operation in the South China Sea because of "Roger's children".

Unfortunately, no one knows whether Roger's wife or son were among the many pregnant women and children killed by the World Government and Marine Headquarters back then...

More than a decade has passed.

A new pirate, reminiscent of the Warring States period, has stepped onto the high seas stage.

Roger's surname, Roger's sword, the sea area where Roger was last seen —

"This newcomer—…it shouldn’t be related to Roger, right?"

Guang Zhanguo couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose. He immediately contacted the branch base in the South China Sea and ordered all naval branches in the South China Sea to do everything in their power to collect and uncover information about "Portgas D. Ace".

Intelligence information!

After issuing this order to the South China Sea branch, Sengoku finally relaxed.

After finishing his daily business, Zhan Guo leisurely brewed himself a cup of hot tea, then took out a bag of large rice crackers from the bottom drawer of his desk, intending to read the newspaper and relax.

"Ah~ Drinking tea and reading the newspaper is such a wonderful thing —"

Zhan Guo blew on the hot tea, took a sip, and then opened the newspaper in front of him.

But just as the headline of today's World Economic Daily caught the eye of the Admiral.

"Pfft!"

Zhan Guo spat out a mouthful of hot tea.

The warm tea, along with bits of tea leaves, instantly soaked the entire newspaper.

Sengoku stared incredulously at the headline on the front page of the World Economic Daily, nearly so frightened that he hid under the table.

"Hurry! Mary Geoise!! Pay your respects to the Five Elders!!!"
