Chapter 1780 The Navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea (7)

Not only that, the hearts of these two pirates were actually taken away by Law!

As soon as this news came out, the entire pirate world was in an uproar.

Luo's fame soared like a rocket in an instant. He became famous in the first half of the Grand Line for his cruel methods and powerful strength.

Nowadays, except for a very small number of top pirates from powerful forces, almost no one can control the Heart Pirates.

The Heart Pirates' killing campaign lasted for a whole month.

Their performance during this long month was truly remarkable.

According to incomplete statistics, the Heart Pirates control two pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million, 28 pirates with bounties exceeding 10 million, and 70 pirates with bounties exceeding 1 million.

All of these pirates under control are powerful, famous and have high bounties.

Adding the number of affiliated pirates, the size of the Heart Pirates has expanded to nearly 10,000 people!

A scale of this kind is absolutely unrivalled in the first half of the Grand Line.

This was actually just the result of a large number of people fleeing on their own after seeing the captain being captured!

If not, with the Heart Pirates' astonishing expansion speed, they would probably be able to be directly compared with the Three Emperors Pirates soon.

In just this short period of one month, the Heart Pirates have been so unscrupulous in controlling other pirates. This behavior is simply blatant!

However, what is surprising is that this action did not attract any attention or intervention from the navy.

You know, although there are many pirates on the fifth route, it is still under the control of the navy.

Moreover, the Navy even has a powerful elite vice admiral stationed on the fifth route!

However, in the past month, the Navy has not taken any action against the Heart Pirates.

Anyone with a little common sense can see the clues at a glance.

There is no doubt that the Heart Pirates must have reached some kind of ulterior motive with the Navy.

This deal is most likely that the Heart Pirates will hand over the pirates under their control to the navy in exchange for a place in the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After all, for those pirates, the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea is quite attractive.

Once they realized this, the other pirates became more and more contemptuous and disdainful of the Heart Pirates.

After all, although the other Seven Warlords of the Sea may be putting on a show, at least they haven't colluded with the navy so blatantly like the Heart Pirates!

The Heart Pirates, however, hurried to express their loyalty to the World Government and the Navy, as if they couldn't wait to become their lackeys.

This behavior naturally aroused disgust and hostility from many people. After all, no one wants to see someone so fawningly trying to please those powerful organizations.

Luo didn't care about the disturbances in the outside world at all.

He had only one goal in mind, and that was to deal with Doflamingo.

In the past month, Law has caused such a big fuss, how could it not attract Doflamingo's attention?

In fact, after hearing the news about Law, Doflamingo immediately couldn't help but want to catch him.

However, just when Doflamingo was about to take action, a phone call from Sengoku was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing his impulse.

This phone call forced Doflamingo to temporarily let go of his obsession with Law. He could only watch helplessly but was unable to take any action.

Since the Rockefeller Kingdom unified the New World in 1516 of the Sea Circle Calendar, Doflamingo wisely chose to withdraw from the New World.

He came to the first half of the Grand Line and began to take root again.

Coming from the New World to the first half of the Grand Line means that he has to start all over again and needs to work hard again in this new environment.

This undoubtedly brought a huge challenge to Doflamingo, and he had to devote more energy to business.

Originally, Doflamingo planned to set up his base on Gaya Island. After all, it was not only the location of the Seventh Route, but also far away from Paradise. It was also a notorious gathering place for pirates.

Such a geographical location is perfect for Doflamingo's base.

However, things are unpredictable. In order to curb the expansion of the Three Emperors of Paradise, the World Government and the Navy forcibly placed Doflamingo's base on the fifth route, and it was close to the front line of the fourth route.

This means that Doflamingo was pushed to the front line, facing direct pressure and threats from all sides.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Doflamingo was indignant but helpless.

Because the World Government and the Navy did not give him any room to refuse. Once he refused, his business around the world would be seriously affected.

After weighing the pros and cons, Doflamingo finally had no choice but to swallow his anger and accept this arrangement.

Fortunately, the fourth route adjacent to Doflamingo happens to be the sphere of influence of the Red Hair Pirates.

Fortunately, however, although the Fourth Route is known as the Red Hair Pirates' sphere of influence, Ben Beckman actually has little interest in the affairs here.

Although there are some affiliated pirate groups of the Red Hair Pirates entrenched on the Fourth Route, they are all quite law-abiding and do not seem to have any intention of crossing the border into the Fourth Route.

This situation is undoubtedly good news for Doflamingo and greatly relieves his pressure.

He no longer needed to focus all his energy on being vigilant against the Emperor of Paradise, and could instead breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Doflamingo was forced to the front line by the World Government and the Five Elders, this also provided him with a broader space for development.

Over the years, he cleverly infiltrated his influence in the underworld into Paradise while also expanding it on a global scale.

In this way, he can get the best of both worlds, without offending either side, and at the same time, he can make his business bigger and bigger.

As long as the World Government, the Navy, the Three Emperors and the Rockefeller Kingdom do not provoke Doflamingo, his life can be said to be quite comfortable.

However, all this changed drastically after Luo arrived at the fifth route.

Law knew that he was not as strong as Doflamingo and it would be difficult to win in a head-on confrontation, so he came up with a brilliant plan - to specifically target Doflamingo's business and sabotage it.
