Chapter 68: 438: Carina
Aboard the Gran Tesoro.
Tesoro's people quickly restored order on the Golden Island ship.
All those Marines and CP agents were taken down, even the Marines who were on vacation were not spared.
Anyone who has boarded this Golden Island ship has basically been contaminated by the gold powder, and can be easily controlled by the Golden Emperor. Only people with similar strength to him, or stronger ones, can break through the confinement of the gold powder.
Some troublemaking pirates were also controlled by Tesoro and imprisoned.
Although the conflict between the Big Daddy Pirates and the Celestial Dragons was short-lived, there were still reporters, agents, and spies who spread the news back to the various forces.
Even the World Government and Naval Headquarters were extremely busy because of the sudden actions of Basire.
After all, these are three Celestial Dragons and two Admiral Candidates, which has seriously affected the reputation of the World Government and Marines.
Fleet Admiral Akainu even personally went to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and made a strong request to start a war with the Big Daddy Pirates.
However, it has been temporarily suppressed by Five Elders, and discussions still need to continue.
Following the disappearance of three Celestial Dragons from Sabaody Archipelago, three more Celestial Dragons have been kidnapped from the Gran Tesoro, making the Celestial Dragons of Mary Geoise very angry.
This time they also want to teach these lawless pirates a lesson and reaffirm the indestructible majesty of the Celestial Dragons.
The most important thing is that the Gran Tesoro, which has so much money, cannot be snatched away by the pirate Basire.
However, the high-end combat power of Naval Headquarters has still not been fully restored.
In this incident, two Admiral Candidates were directly captured, which once again diminished the Marines fighting power.
Old guys like Garp and Sengoku all want to retire and no longer devote themselves to justice.
Black Arm Zephyr and Aokiji Kuzan left one after another. One wanted to fight against the Marines and form a new Marines. The other was even more outrageous, he actually joined the Big Daddy Pirates and became an enemy directly.
The Seraphs created by Vegapunk cannot be put into battle yet.
The Shichibukai have also been disabled, leaving only two people: Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk and Ice Witch Whitey Bay.
Because of Basire's powerful threat, the World Government was unable to recruit powerful pirates into the Shichibukai for a long time.
So, what can the current Marines do to fight the Big Daddy Pirates?
Even if the Fleet Admiral and Three Admirals attack with their entire army, they may not be able to capture Hachinosu. They will also face the risk of sneak attacks from other Yonkōs, and their entire army might be annihilated in minutes.
After all, Hachinosu is the center of the New World and the territory of pirates.
It will be very dangerous for Marines to enter the hinterland waters of the New World.
To start a war with the Big Daddy Pirates, it is estimated that more combat power will be needed as a backup force.
Naval Headquarters itself can't deal with the Four Emperors, so the God's Knights who guard the Holy Land Mary Geoise need to be sent out as well?
Generally speaking, Mary Geoise will never send out the God's Knights unless there is a major incident.
This is the strongest and last line of defense for the Celestial Dragons.
What if the forces of the Marines and the God's Knights are dispatched, and the Revolutionary Army comes to steal the house?
This will further affect the majesty of the World Government.
Moreover, the mission of the Marines is to suppress pirates, and the mission of the CP organization and the God's Knights is to guard the Celestial Dragons and suppress the Revolutionary Army.
The World Government cannot ignore the threat of the Revolutionary Army just because of some pirates.
If too many troops are consumed to suppress the pirates, the Revolutionary Army will take the opportunity to develop rapidly and become a behemoth more dangerous than the Four Emperors.
Therefore, no matter how much trouble Akainu and the Celestial Dragons made, the Five Elders still did not make the decision to start a war with the Big Daddy Pirates.
This made Akainu curse loudly. As a result, he was immediately reprimanded by the Five Elders as a dog of the World Government.
If he doesn't obey, he will be replaced in a minute.
In the end, he could only return to the new Naval Headquarters in the New World with a stomach full of anger, and his temper became even more irritable.
Sengoku could only shake his head helplessly. Sakazuki wanted to take Naval Headquarters' family fortune to gamble and fight an uncertain war.
Old guys like the Five Elders would definitely not take such a risk.
They prefer to proceed slowly and disintegrate these powerful Four Emperors pirate groups bit by bit.
The World Destroyer back then suddenly collapsed and was captured.
Undercover agents like Stussy and X Drake just break into the New World to get things done, and they can be very effective at critical moments.
However, the World Government is not doing nothing. Through Stussy, they are preparing to contact Basire to redeem the three Celestial Dragons and the two Admiral Candidates.
Sengoku and Tsuru also took the opportunity to suggest that they make a big deal this time and redeem Impel Down Chief Warden Magellan, Vice Admiral Momonga, and the G5 branch generals at once.
In order to successfully start the deal to redeem the Celestial Dragons, the Five Elders accepted these suggestions and prepared to bleed a lot to redeem all these people and let the Yonkō Basire see their sincerity.
···
Basire didn't know how the World Government planned to deal with these things, but he was already prepared.
Although he has always wanted to take action against Kaido, if the Marines dare to come to the hinterland of the New World, he will backhand and dare to use the Road Poneglyph in his possession to actively cooperate with Kaido to start a large-scale war.
Anyway, in Basire's eyes, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin are his tools, and he must make the best use of them to give full play to their role.
After Basire and Tesoro teamed up to suppress the commotion on the Gran Tesoro. A little thing also happened in a gorgeous palace on the Golden Island Ship.
Nami has brought back a purple-haired thief who is her old rival Carina.
But this mysterious singer turned around and cried pitifully to her boss Tesoro, framed Nami for attacking her, a weak woman, for no reason and almost electrocuted her.
"She is the famous thief in East Blue, the Vixen Carina. If I hadn't caught her, she would have stolen your vault key."
Nami became even happier after knowing that the Golden Emperor Tesoro had become Basire's subordinate.
Even Carina's boss is a subordinate of her own man. So how can Carina fight with her?
Originally, Tesoro wanted to directly kill the traitor, he would never allow betrayal.
But Basire accepted Carina and made her his singer, thus saving her life.
At this moment, Nami felt as if she had lured a wolf into the house.
Carina, a woman who relies on her wisdom to survive, immediately fell into the arms of Basire and found herself a big supporter. This made Nami grind her teeth.
However, Basire smiled and asked Nami to continue training Carina. To which she showed a satisfied smile.
