Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 369 This is the King of the World's order!

The "good-for-nothing child" that Im refers to

Of course, it's the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, the former Pirate Emperor of the New World—Red-Haired Shanks!

That story dates back to about forty years ago.

In the God Valley incident decades ago.

The Celestial Dragons are currently on a "school trip" on an island in the West Blue called "God Valley".

In fact, it was a "Native Hunting Competition" held in God Valley, which was not yet a member state of the World Government at the time.

The Celestial Dragons plan to kill all 100,000 innocent natives of God Valley within three weeks, including the poor slaves captured by the World Government and sent there.

The lawless Rocks Pirates unexpectedly disrupted the Celestial Dragons' "school trip."

The "loyal" Navy Hero Card appeared when it became popular, protecting the lives of the Celestial Dragons.

but.

The Roger Pirates, with their "malicious intentions," also got involved in the God Valley Incident and stole an infant from an "extremely noble" Celestial Dragon family in God Valley.

That is, Shanks!

Or you could call him by his full name, Figarand Shanks Saint!

Im and the Five Elders, who held the highest authority in the World Government, already knew about Shanks joining the Roger Pirates and later becoming the Pirate Emperor.

Even on certain special occasions, Shanks would secretly travel to Marineford and enter the Hall of Power.

To have close contact and communication with the Five Elders. (Chapter 907)

The Five Elders had also tried to persuade Shanks to abandon his current pirate identity, return to Mary Geoise, and rejoin the Celestial Dragons.

Celestial Dragons becoming pirates or something...

It's really not a big deal.

Some good-for-nothings, even if they become pirates, are only bringing shame to the World Government and the World Nobles.

The supreme Celestial Dragons, who insist on begging for food in the underworld and even serving as lackeys for other pirate emperors, are none other than Donquixote Doflamingo!

But Shanks is different.

First of all, Shanks is the Pirate Emperor, one of the top combatants on the sea.

Secondly, Shanks' surname is "Figarand," which is a more prestigious family name than "Don Quixote."

Finally, Shanks is the Pirate Emperor —

Ok.

The fundamental reason is that Shanks, the Red-Haired Shanks, is strong enough and his influence is powerful enough.

The World Government believes that bringing Shanks back into the Celestial Dragons family will have a far greater positive effect than a negative one.

Unfortunately, Shanks never accepted the Five Elders' invitation.

That guy is probably head over heels in love with being a pirate.

The Five Elders had no idea what kind of spell Roger had cast on Shanks!

Im also couldn't understand the insistence of that brat from the Figaland family.

What's so great about One Piece?

From the original Joey Boy.

Later, Gol D. Roger.

And now, Figarand Shanks.

They all dream of becoming the "freest pirate."

What kind of pirate are you?

Aren't the Celestial Dragons appealing?

This is Im's attitude at this moment.

When he was the Pirate Emperor, Shanks' "stance" with the World Government was absolutely hostile. Given Shanks' identity and allegiances, he shouldn't even have anything to do with "politics".

But things are different now.

Red-haired Shanks was defeated by the new Navy.

The Red-Haired Pirates were also captured by the new Marines.

Even the vast territory once occupied by the Red-Haired Pirates was completely devoured by the Red Dragon Emperor and the Dawn Pirates.

no doubt.

Shanks' life as a "pirate" has been a complete failure.

If the new Navy wanted to execute Shanks... that wouldn't be impossible, but if the new Navy didn't want to execute Shanks and only wanted to imprison him...

So, the only option left for Shanks is "life imprisonment"!

In this case.

Im thought the World Government could try negotiating with the new Navy to see if they could take away Shanks' "right to imprison" from them.

They were all imprisoned.

Red-haired Shanks could also be imprisoned by the new Marines.

Wouldn't it be acceptable to "imprison" them in Mary Geoise?

Furthermore.

The establishment of the new navy was indeed a huge stimulus to the world government.

The new navy not only occupied all the World Government's naval branch bases in the New World, but also took away most of the World Government's member states within the New World.

In this way, the new navy became more powerful, but the power of the World Government was severely weakened!

The world government will definitely retaliate severely against the new navy!

But... well, the fighting hasn't started yet, has it?

If we could take advantage of this current "peaceful period" to send Figarand Gringus to the New World,

Take Shanks away from the new Navy...

In this way.

It can not only bring a new top-level combat force to the world government.

Furthermore, it can temporarily lull the New Navy into a false sense of security, making Zephyr and the others mistakenly believe that the World Government has no intention of starting a "final battle" with the New Navy for the time being.

Once the enemy relaxes their guard, the World Government can immediately launch an attack and wipe out the so-called new Navy with lightning speed!

According to Im.

As long as we can take care of Zephyr, Aokiji, and that guy "Fujitora".

Then the rest of the new navy are all insignificant!

This includes former vice admirals who have already been recruited by the new navy, as well as former allied nations that are temporarily supporting the new navy.

As long as the World Government establishes a complete victory in the war against the new Navy.

Those who switched sides to the new Navy like weather vanes will surely switch sides back to the World Government like weather vanes.

Ultimately, the ocean is ruled by the strong!

And the World Government is this "stronger party"!

This is also why Im intends to send Figarand Greengus to the new naval headquarters.

If Figarand Grimm could really bring back Shanks...

Then everything proceeded according to the original plan.

What if the new navy has any other ideas...?

For example, firmly refusing Green Gushen's demands, or even attacking Green Gushen.

Then it's time for Kizaru to make a move!

As a person who ate the "Glint-Glint Fruit," Kizaru's speed is almost unparalleled in the ocean!

Why "almost"?

Of course, it's because the "Lightning Man" who ate the invincible "Rumble-Rumble Fruit" has also appeared!

However, the new Navy wouldn't necessarily join forces with the Pirate Emperor.

If Grimm's actions do not go smoothly.

Kizaru could at least take Greene away from the new Navy's territory.

This is the thinking strategy of the king of the world.

Im didn't explain too much to Figarand Greenemon, but simply told him to focus on Shanks and not to provoke the new Marines too much. Although Greenemon was somewhat puzzled by Im's order, he obediently accepted it.

The King of the World's orders cannot be refused!

at this point.

Figarand Gringu Saint knew perfectly well that after Im finished explaining things to Gringu Saint, he looked at the Five Elders and asked casually.

Which pirate emperor of the New World is the most "obedient"?

obedient?

The five elders' brows twitched.

This was the first time they had ever heard such a unique term used to describe a pirate emperor.

What?

Oh, it was Lord Im speaking...

That's alright then.

"If we're talking about the level of cooperation..."

Satan carefully considered his words before speaking cautiously.

"I'm afraid it's Kaido the Beast."

Not to mention that Kaido of the Beasts was once used as a "guinea pig" by the World Government and was (forced) to cooperate in research for a long time.

Even now.

The World Government and Kaido of the Beasts still maintain a certain cooperative and trading relationship.

Who gave Kaido of the Beasts the right to occupy Wano Country?

That place is rich in sea stone.

The world government's demand for seastone is virtually unlimited!

Simply because there are no "middlemen".

The deal between the World Government and Kaido of the Beasts must be kept secret and not known to outsiders.

Regardless, the two sides still maintained a certain level of trading relationship!

In contrast, consider the other pirate emperors of the New World.

BIGMOM is dead. —.—

The redhead is practically dead, if not dead.

Whitebeard has never cared about the World Government; that guy only cares about his "family."

As for the remaining two pirate emperors, Dawn Draig is one of them.

Vongola Storm of the Storm Pirates.

The two pirate emperors' reigns at the top were far too short.

The world government has not yet had time to establish "contact" with them.

Especially the former.

The White Dragon Emperor at least has one fixed territory—Totto Land, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand.

What does the Crimson Dragon Emperor possess?

Today it is today.

The World Government still does not know the name of the Red Dragon Emperor's headquarters.

They're just a pirate crew, but their intelligence and secrecy are almost on par with the Revolutionary Army!

So Satan pondered for a while.

As expected, Kaido of the Beasts is the most "obedient".

"Then let's contact Kaido of the Beasts in advance."

"Im said slowly and deliberately."

"Let's test what Kaido of the Beasts thinks about the new Marines."

"If he has a lot of ideas, then provoke him and let him cause trouble for the new navy."

"If he has few ideas, then entice him, offer him a bargaining chip, and get him to cooperate with the government's subjugation operation. Im did not mention that 'Kaido of the Beasts has no ideas.'"

Because that's just nonsense!

The new navy was established in the new world, controlling all branch bases and winning over most of the member states.

Given the current development momentum of the new navy.

If anyone says the new Navy has no opinion about the Pirate Emperors, then that person is simply out of their mind!

Would someone who becomes the Pirate Emperor have a problem with their brain?

Perhaps in the future there will be a Straw Hat Boy who is "as pure as ever".

However, Kaido of the Beasts is quite shrewd.

Even Im, who lived in seclusion among the flowers, had heard of it.

And Im was also certain.

Kaido of the Beasts—and not just the Beasts.

The pirate emperors of the New World will definitely have designs on that new Marine.

The old Navy's headquarters were located in Paradise, and its main forces were scattered in other seas. Its influence in the New World was limited, and it was unable to take action against the Pirate Emperors.

However, the headquarters of the new navy and all other bases are concentrated in the sea area of ​​the New World!

If the pirate emperors in the New World remain indifferent to the establishment of the new Navy.

So.

What the Red-Haired Pirates are like today is what they will be like tomorrow!

Just as the King of the World had predicted.

The pirate emperors of the New World are indeed closely monitoring the situation of the new Navy!
