Chapter 14: 14: Local reactions
At this very moment.
The naval government.
The meeting room was interrupted here.
"So! The Tenryu people will be attacked?!"
A Vice Admiral, who only felt a tingling in his scalp, suddenly stood up.
and General Kizaru, who was attending the meeting, stopped moving nonchalantly.
After all, his subordinates were in charge of the Navy Headquarters' Science Force.
This time, in response to the future outbreak of the Whitebeard Pirates' impulses.
Missing the meeting is not an option.
And at this very moment.
heard this shocking news.
Kizaru put down his nail clippers, stood up and said:
"Warlord Sengoku, since it's an attack on a world noble, let's go to the North Sea, shall we?"
The incident took place in the North Sea.
Now, at this meeting to discuss how to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, almost all the fighting forces of the Navy Headquarters are present.
Even if they don't want to admit it, the only person present who can get from headquarters to the North Sea in a short time is the Whitebeard Pirate.
The only question now.
Is Kizaru hoping that those crazy guys are after the treasure, or that a bunch of ignorant pirates are trying to use the Tenryu people as a bargaining chip with the World Government?
In that case, given his speed, there might be enough time to save them.
"At the moment, the only person who can reach the North Sea quickly is Admiral Kizaru, the Marshal of the Warring States. I hope it is not too late."
"That's right!"
Vice-Admiral Kaji Hayashiyama and the others agreed.
However.
Everyone present was silent except Admiral Akainu.
Only Vice-Admiral Tsurugi, known as the Great Staff Officer, had a grave face that gradually became more serious.
Because just when Kizaru suggested to leave,
she noticed that the seriousness on Sengoku's face had not lessened in the least.
From the many years she had known Sengoku,
she feared
that Tsurugi's grave face would become even more serious.
What had happened in the North Sea could not be as simple as 'the Tenryu might have been attacked'.
...
In the meantime,
in fact,
Tsuru's hunch was correct.
Before this crucial meeting was interrupted,
more than half an hour had passed since the attack on the warship escorting the Sky Treasure in the North Sea.
At that moment, Naval Headquarters was discussing how to deal with Whitebeard.
Out there, in the North Sea,
as the news spread,
...
New World,
Kingdom of Dressrosa,
"Haha, the Navy must be swamped with the Whitebeard Pirates thing, right?"
Dolph Laming, one of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea, looked down at the Kingdom of Dressrosa, his eyes gleaming beneath his sunglasses, and muttered,
"After all... This is said to be the strongest man in the world, and the closest thing to a 'Pirate King' in this era. If the strongest man in the world were to lose his temper, the world might be destroyed."
"Hey hey, Dofu, at times like this, the more chaotic the world becomes, the stronger our family will become. This is a good opportunity to expand."
A voice came from behind Dofour Mingge.
He looked as if he was wearing a blanket of blue snot, and he held a sceptre in his hand.
It was none other than one of the most senior members of the Don Quixote family, Torebol.
Upon hearing this, Dofranmingge's mouth curled into a smug arch.
"Haha... Yes, turmoil may not be a bad thing, but rather an opportunity... The more chaotic the world, the more interesting it is."
Dovering's fingers kept flicking, muttering.
Suddenly.
"Young master!"
Family member Bafaro, who had fan blades around his neck, fell from the air, his face revealing the shock of seeing some kind of 'impossible event'.
"What's going on? Bafaro, didn't you know you were supposed to send someone to notify Dover before coming here?"
Torepor, standing behind Dofranmingo, frowned and scolded as he saw the family member's panicked appearance.
"No...no! Young Master! You must read the newspaper that came out today!"
Bafaro quickly shook his head and handed Dofranmingo a newspaper.
"Huh?"
Dofranmingo's eyes showed a hint of doubt under his sunglasses.
Could it be that the Whitebeard Pirates had made another big move?
After all, the entire world is now watching to see what the man known as the Strongest will do next.
Dofranmigo scanned the paper in his hands.
The next second.
Dofranmigo's pupils narrowed.
"This... This is?!"
...
White Island.
Bardigo.
Revolutionary Army Headquarters.
"Dragon! It's bad! Something big is happening outside!"
Inside the simple war room,
a humanoid fish-man runs in quickly.
Breathing heavily, he holds a newspaper in his hand.
Then he sees the attention of the people in the room focused on him.
Among them, a middle-aged man in an inky green cape looks up.
The Fish Man slams the paper down on the table.
His face shows the aftereffects of shock, and he announces the latest news, causing the people in the room to change colour.
"In the North Sea! Someone from the noble race of the Tenryu has been killed!"
"What?!"
"World noble... Tenryu people?!"
The Revolutionary Army cadres present in the room suddenly dilated their pupils.
...
The base of the White Beard Pirates.
"Father, the outside world must be very worried to see that we haven't taken any action yet,"
The Moby Dick is docked off an island.
Marco jumps off the Moby Dick and comes face to face with an elderly man with a white beard curving upwards like a crescent moon, tall and imposing without anger.
Marco's dialogue has already revealed that the man is no one else.
It is none other than the most powerful man in the world today, and the man closest to the pirate throne, Whitebeard!
"Gulalala, this is exactly what my old friend Sengoku wants to see. Without being fully prepared, the Navy will not hesitate to reveal news of Ace."
White Beard surveyed his hometown not far away, then stood up and held the Congyun Cut. A fierce look flashed in his eyes.
"But if you want to touch my family, even the Navy has to consider the consequences!"
Marco felt the breath escaping from White Beard and sighed, muttering:
"No wonder he's the father!"
Suddenly.
An albatross flew by.
A newspaper floated by.
White Beard unconsciously took the paper.
Marco beside him was not paying attention.
Whitebeard's first reaction was one of surprise.
When he looked at the contents of the newspaper, Whitebeard suddenly laughed heartily:
"Interesting... This has actually happened in the North Sea."
"Interesting? Dad? What happened in the North Sea?"
Marco was stunned for a moment.
What kind of thing happened in the North Sea that his father would be interested in?
"Gulala, an opportunity has presented itself for us, as far as interesting things go."
Whitebeard handed Marco the newspaper.
When Marco heard the word 'opportunity', a flash of light appeared in his eyes.
Has Father decided how to foil the Navy's plan?
About the interesting things...
Marco scanned the newspaper a few times.
Marco froze, his pupils dilated. It took him a while to react.
He couldn't help but look at Whitebeard.
"Hey...hey, Dad? This is the 'interesting' thing?"
Marco couldn't stop the corner of his mouth from twitching.
The moment he saw the contents of the newspaper, he almost dropped it.
Before he saw what was in the newspaper,
Marco would never have guessed...
The interesting thing was that "a madman in the North Sea had even killed a world noble, a Tenryu!"
"Goolala, isn't that interesting?"
White Beard laughed.
Then he looked at the photo of the albatross in the newspaper.
"Compared to the dead Tenryu, the man on the picture is really interesting."
"Yes..."
Marco nodded in agreement.
"Whoever dares to kill a Tenryu, whether it's the World Government or the Navy Government, will not be tolerated. It all depends on whether the old man can stand it."
Marco looked at Bai Ye in the newspaper.
He murmured in admiration.
He had tried his best to get an impression of Bai Ye.
But no matter what, there was no trace of an impression.
So Marco had to classify him as some kind of 'madman'.
But at this moment,
Marco did not know yet.
What kind of heavy blow this 'madman' would deal to the World Government and the Navy Government next.
