Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Piracy, Really A Very Promising Industry!
The Captain of the Golden Lion Pirates of the New World, Golden Lion Shiki, who is most expected to become the new pirate overlord, ruined his future and ambition in a storm when he was caught off guard.
From Marine's point of view, the information this time made them feel a little confused.
As early as when Shiki's large fleet began to gather towards the Edd War Sea, Marine discovered their movements. Not long after that, Naval Headquarters dispatched Sengoku to the Edd War Sea to take full charge of handling the situation.
In fact, not only Sengoku, but also Marine Hero Garp, Chief Staff Officer Tsuru and others participated in this operation.
At that time, Marine's planned arrival time in the Edd War Sea was about three days later than Shiki's action.
This is also a very reasonable arrangement. On the one hand, Marine itself is marching in a hurry. It is very stressful to go directly from Marineford in the first half of the Grand Line to Edd War in New World. .
Secondly, it's useless to go too early. If you go too early, won't you be taken advantage of by Roger?
Marine hoped that Shiki and Roger would fight, and it would be best if both sides were injured, and then Marine would finally find a suitable opportunity to enter the field and catch both of these scourges.
So what would happen if they arrived before Roger? Shiki would set up a grand formation in the Edd War sea area and make sufficient preparations for Roger. In the end, Sengoku rushes into the formation with the Marine fleet..... Can the scene be any good?
The three-day period was the unanimous conclusion reached after Garp, Tsuru and others discussed the situation.
If they take too long, Roger might not be able to hold on. After all, there are not many members of the Roger pirates, but Shiki has pulled all his main forces over, and the gap in strength is obvious.
But if the time given was short, they were afraid that the battle would not have reached a very intense stage, and Marine's appearance would cause some unnecessary changes.
Three days, almost just right, the two sides should have started a real fight, and the battlefield should have become chaotic, and they won't be able to stop just by saying stop.
It can be said that Marine's plan was very good, but in the end the result was very confusing.
Three days?
Three days is too much, I don't know if Roger invited some mages, gave Shiki bad luck by putting a curse or something like that.
In short, the Edd War naval battle was very funny. Shiki just blocked the Oro Jackson of the Roger Pirates and surrounded it on the sea.
Then he put out a few harsh words and invited Roger to join forces with him. With the secrets that Roger mastered and the force that Shiki mastered, they could dominate the world, it was just around the corner!
In fact, there is no problem with Shiki's thinking in this set of operations.
Roger has been very arrogant in the past few years, looking for historical texts all over the world. For the big shots, this is not a secret thing, especially since Roger asked for Whitebeard to lend him Oden so he could translate for him.
Roger wanted to find the legendary final island, Raftel, through the text of the history, and on the way, take a look at the "blank hundred years of history" to satisfy his curiosity.
Other useless ideas like finding Ancient Weapons are definitely not included on his priority list.
But even though he has such integrity, he doesn't intend to do anything with Ancient Weapons, careerists like Shiki don't think so. If you have finished the historical texts, then you must know the situation of the three ancient weapons. You can use this legendary power to destroy the world at any time!
Does this still make others feel comfortable?
So Shiki was moved. Shiki admired Roger very much. This probably started from the battle in God's Valley. Roger and Garp defeated the Rocks Pirate where Shiki was a member. Their performance was very dazzling.
So dazzling that after so many years, Shiki regards Roger as his favorite.
As the saying goes, when you meet Roger, he doesn't even have to lift a finger to destroy you. Kozuki Oden met Roger, and he ended up killing himself in a pot. Shiki met Roger, and his road to becoming the overlord was directly shattered. Whitebeard met Roger under a sakura tree, and for Roger's son, he forcibly smashed himself and the Whitebeard pirates to death at Naval Headquarters.
Truly very powerful Haki!
Anyways, Shiki admires Roger very much, and wants to join forces with Roger to get the Ancient Weapon. Considering the manpower accumulated by his Golden Lion pirates combined with the ancient weapons, is he still worried about hegemony?
At the same time, Shiki also regarded Roger as a threat. He thought in his heart that with the information Roger now has, he may become his strongest opponent at any time, so if Roger does not agree to join forces with him, then before this guy gets the Ancient Weapons, kill him first!
This is Shiki's ambition to be an overlord!
Everything was planned perfectly, how did it fall apart so quickly??
Roger rejected Shiki's invitation with righteous words, and then Shiki said harshly that he would kill Roger's pirates here in Edd War!
Then, within five minutes after the words fell, the two sides just fired a few shots at each other, and even before hand-to-hand combat, a super-large storm directly blew up in the Edd War sea area.
As stated before, any Devil Fruit has more or less side effects.
For example, Kuzan's ability brought him extremely terrifying ice, and at the same time made his body temperature very low. When his body temperature dropped, he would feel sleepy and lazy.
Like Sakazuki's magma, which makes him very hot.
Sand-Sand Fruit is afraid of water, Thunder Fruit is afraid of rubber, these are side effects and defects.
The same is true for Shiki's Float Fruit. Once encountering extreme weather like a storm, this guy is like a plastic bag blown into the sky by a strong wind.
Forget 100% combat power, if half of it can be used then it is not bad.
It is also because of this that Shiki's large fleet, including himself, was destroyed by the storm without even pulling out a single hair of Roger.
When the news spread to the rear, Sengoku and others were dumbfounded!
Then rushed to Edd War, only to see some shipwrecks on the sea, Shiki's life and death are unknown, and the Roger pirates have already slipped away.
The original goal of 'arresting Shiki and Roger' was not accomplished.
But in general, Marine is not at a loss. After all, although no powerful characters have been caught, Shiki's large fleet has been destroyed here. The strength of the pirates has been greatly weakened!
However, from a higher level perspective, what is about to happen next may be enough for Marine to curse their mothers.
There is no doubt that Shiki is currently suppressing all the New World careerists. Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Silver Ax, John, Ochoku, the Corrupt King Avalo Pizarro and other big pirates are all suppressed by this guy.
With Shiki around, it's hard for them to develop.
But now, a big storm has wiped out Shiki's large fleet in Edd War, and Shiki himself is now missing. For these New World careerists, there is no doubt... that the mountain that weighed on their heads is gone!
What will happen next is completely predictable!
That is, the New World will begin a new round of wars for pirate hegemony!
At the same time, the intensity and aftermath of this battle to determine a new era of overlords will definitely radiate to the entire world!
Therefore, Marine has to face such challenges and threats.
It's not just Marine that has considered this problem. In fact, the newspaper Doflamingo is reading at this time also has a certain analysis of the future.
Many commentators, analysts, and intelligence experts believe that a surging wave of the new era seems to be sweeping towards the world.
"Fufufufufu..." Doflamingo put away the newspaper in his hand and laughed evilly.
"My lord, are you so happy because this is a good thing for us?" Gladius asked.
With an evil smile on the corner of Doflamingo's mouth, he nodded and said, "Of course, the more chaotic the world is, the more darkness spreads, and we, the evil party living in the dark, have more opportunities... piracy, it's really a promising industry, fufufufufu."
"Doffy, do you want to become a pirate as well?" Vergo looked at Doflamingo and asked.
Doflamingo touched his chin, and then said: "That's right!"
