Chapter 405: The undercurrent of the sea! The prelude to war!

If not handled well, a war that could ignite the world would be born from his hands. It was precisely because of this that he gave up tracking Ace's footsteps. Anyway, their target was Luffy.

Seeing the arrival of the navy, Daz Bones quietly came to Crocodile and was about to take him away. However, he was surrounded by circles of white mist at some point, and no matter how hard he continued to struggle, he could not help but feel trapped. Couldn't break free.

"Shichibukai? I'm on my way here, but I heard that you did all this, Crocodile."

On the way here, Smog heard some news. The reason why Alabasta became what it is now was mostly caused by Crocodile, and his purpose was to steal the country.

The reason why Smoker could hear such news was entirely because of Vivi's own work. She had explained to Kosha what Crocodile had done and convinced him not to overthrow the kingdom.

After listening to Weiwei's careful explanation, Kou Sha immediately issued an order to stop the attack on the Royal Army and passed on what Crocodile had done.

With the help of the phone bug, it spread throughout the island in just a few dozen minutes, so it was not surprising to hear such news when Smoker was on the road.

"Our president is the Shichibukai, and your navy has no right to arrest him." Daz Bones struggled and roared in the air.

"That was when I didn't find out about it."

"But since you have committed such a thing as stealing the country, I have the right to arrest you."

As soon as Smoker finished speaking, a large cloud of smoke appeared from behind him. The smoke formed several ropes and tied up all the other cadre members who sneaked away.

The navy behind them stepped forward neatly, took out the sea-stone handcuffs, and walked towards the tied up pirates.

"Woooooooo!!" Daz Bones wanted to continue talking, but Smoker didn't give him this chance. Instead, he blocked everyone's mouths.

"You guys take these back to the ship first."

"Yes, Commodore Smoker!" A small group of naval soldiers escorted Crocodile and his party towards the coast.

Smoker threw out the phone bug in his arms. "Moxi Moxi!"

In an unknown sea area along the Grand Line, Dill was lying on a deserted beach, feeling the warmth of the sun.

"Bola, bola!"

"Ah, I finally have a vacation."

Dill reached for the phone bug beside him, pushed up the blindfold on his head, and said lazily. "Moxi Moxi!"

"This is Dill!"

"General Dill, I am Smoker, I am in Alabasta now..."

After he fully recounted everything Crocodile did in Alabasta, Dill pondered for a moment. "Now that the matter is over, send Crocodile to the Undersea Prison first. I will report what happened there."

"As for Luffy, there is no need to arrest him for the time being. After going to the Undersea Prison, he will return to the Navy Headquarters to report on his duties."

"General..." "This is an order!"

"Yes, General Dill!"

Smoker originally made this call to explain Crocodile's crimes, but unexpectedly, he ended the arrest of Luffy.

Although he hated it, he still obeyed the order and led the remaining navy towards the coast.

"This guy almost did something bad." On the contrary, Dill didn't think Smoker couldn't beat Luffy. In his subconscious, Luffy was just a fledgling pirate group and shouldn't be that strong. .

The reason why he was not allowed to go deeper was entirely because he knew that Luffy's grandfather was Lieutenant General Garp, who was known as a naval hero. If Luffy was captured and taken to the underwater prison, he would be sorry for Garp's teachings. .

Although Dill is Zefa's deputy, the teacher who first trained this group of people was Garp!

Both emotionally and rationally, it was not appropriate to capture Luffy through his orders.

He simply reported Crocodile's crimes to Marshal Sengoku.

. . .

"Bang!"

"Damn! Crocodile actually dares to do such a thing."

"Huh, let me just say that none of those Shichibukai are good people. I really don't know why the World Government would issue such an order."

"I think this matter should be used to put pressure on the World Government to give up the plan of the Shichibukai." Zefa, who has retreated to the second line and serves as the navy's chief instructor, said angrily.

Because the timeline is constantly being revised, Zefa's wife still died at the hands of the pirates he let go for a while, which made him blind to the so-called Shichibukai Act.

He had strongly opposed it at the beginning, but his arm could not twist his thigh. With the strong push of the World Government, he still carried out the plan. Now that he had the opportunity to attack, he would not let it go.

"Now we are not discussing the Shichibukai, but what should we do about Crocodile?" Sengoku didn't want to continue to hear his old partner talking nonsense about the Shichibukai Act. You must know that the Navy Headquarters has many world governments. spies.

"Now that the matter is over, let's revoke Crocodile's identity as Shichibukai and start looking for the next suitable candidate."

"As for Crocodile himself, he should be imprisoned in the underwater prison. After all, he is a natural devil fruit." Lieutenant General He gave a pertinent answer.

Although the Shichibukai have some privileges, it does not mean that they can carry out unscrupulous measures to steal the country. As for the execution of Crocodile, it is not what they want to see.

This will cause a natural devil fruit to flow back to the sea, and in just a few years, a powerful pirate will appear.

For those who want to control the stability of the sea, they will not do this.

Rather than letting him come out to do evil, it would be better to put him in a prison under the sea and not see the light of day for decades.

"In this case, let's skip this matter and let's discuss the development of the new world."

Seeing that the matter was concluded, Warring States immediately stopped the topic and looked at the other lieutenant generals present.

This naval meeting was the largest since Roger was executed.

The Crocodile incident was entirely a sideshow.

Except for the absence of General Dill, the other two generals who took office as well as Garp, Zefa, Ghost Spider and others filled the entire hall.

Roughly speaking, there are nearly a hundred people there, and the lowest-ranking ones are all major generals in the headquarters.

"The new world has begun to have an undercurrent again, and the Carl Pirates seem to be planning something secretly." Hezhong put his hands together on the table and said slowly.

"Recently, the Carl Pirates have been in contact with Kaido Kaido many times, and have also stopped fighting with the Whitebeard Pirates."

"According to reliable information, there are already hundreds of thousands of giants in the Giant Kingdom undergoing so-called military training."

"Ouch!"
