Chapter 389 Beast and Charlotte
The Marshal's order from Sengoku was quite effective. Within just half a day, all the Seven Warlords of the Sea, whether they were in office or those who were about to be nominated, learned the news of rushing to Marinford.
This is a major battle and event centered around the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Suddenly, the Grand Route was in unprecedented turmoil.
The plan of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was proposed by Rex at the beginning of his tenure as Executive Prime Minister of the World Government. It aims to recruit seven pirates with strong reputations and combat capabilities to be commanded by the World Government in order to maintain the balance and stability of the Grand Line.
It has been seven or eight years since then, but there were only three seats in the Shichibukai at most. Now there are only two current Shichibukai, and they are in name only. Their status is too small, far from being a third-party power like in later generations, claiming to be able to compete with the navy and the Four Emperors.
Today's Seven Warlords of the Sea are not playing the role expected.
And the Warring States period was going to make use of the Seven Warlords of the Sea proposed by this holy land and fulfill its original role - to balance the sea and intimidate all directions!
……
There are only two current Shichibukai in the Grand Line, and it can be said that they are in name only.
The first one is Bubble Man Oreo, the user of the parahuman Bubble Fruit. He was invited by the World Government to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in 1495 of the Sea Calendar. His record in battle is quite impressive. Bubble Man once fought against Captain Zofist of the Seventh Fleet of the Sky Pirates in Paradise, and the result was a draw. Therefore, he became famous in one battle and had the capital to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Although it sounds a bit funny, just by being tied with the captain of the Sky Seven Fleet, one can become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
But at that time, it was indeed the case.
What are the Sky Pirates?
No. 1 in Qinghai.
Golden Lion, Rhine, Gut, and Hirakawa Toratsugu, four generals at the emperor level, with twelve fleet captains under them, the first seven of whom have the combat power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
In a word, the current Hiku Pirates are a plus version of the Four Emperors and Seven Warlords of the Sea in later generations.
If Bubble Man were in the Sky Pirates, he might just be the eighth fleet captain, but in Paradise, he is more than qualified to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The other is the veteran pirate Chain Man, who is as powerful as Bubble Man. It is said that he once fought with Bubble Man for two days and one night without a clear winner, so he was invited to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
This is the Shichibukai of today, an organization with a big name but actually nothing.
An order was issued from the Marine Headquarters, and all the new and old Seven Warlords of the Sea rushed to Marinford.
Bubble Man and Chain Man are the current Shichibukai.
The new Seven Warlords of the Sea announced by the headquarters are still unknown to the world.
On the Grand Line, two pirate ships met, one flying the flag of the Beasts and the other flying the flag of Charlotte.
It was none other than the Beasts Pirates and the Charlotte Family.
On the decks of the two ships, the two leaders looked at each other in tacit understanding:
"Sassy, Jhin."
"Sashiburi, Katakuri."
Flame Disaster·Jin, now the acting captain of the Hundred Beasts!
Katakuri, the leader of the three generals, is now the acting captain of Charlotte!
Both of them were steady and silent. After they met, they didn't exchange pleasantries for too long and got straight to the point:
"Together?"
"Together."
The simple exchange determined the next itinerary of the two pirate groups, and they headed to Marinford together.
Jhin shook the black wings behind him and came to Katakuri, then the two of them entered the captain's room and closed the door.
Katakuri's Observation Haki has already reached the level of the General Emperor. Nothing can escape his Observation Haki. He scanned the surroundings slightly:
“No surveillance.”
Jin believed in Katakuri's observation Haki and judgment, and nodded slightly:
"I think you know something about the purpose of my visit this time."
Katakuri stared directly at Jin's mask with his narrow eyes:
"We made the same choice and are bound to face the same situation."
The same choice, naturally, both of them chose to leave the New World and become Shichibukai.
The same situation is naturally that the captains of the two pirate groups were "conspiratorially murdered" and were leaderless.
King remained silent. Once upon a time, their two families were considered powerful forces in the New World. Especially, the two captains had known each other for a long time. Although Kaido and BIG MOM usually didn't get along with each other, they were actually like siblings. King and Katakuri also knew each other for a long time and had a good relationship.
Now that both of them are facing the same dilemma, sticking together for warmth has become the best option.
Katakuri was not surprised to see Jin remain silent, and continued to speak his mind:
"Why do you think the two of us were able to leave the new world smoothly?"
Of course, King had also thought about this problem. This matter was indeed a bit unbelievable from beginning to end. According to Leon Lex's control over the New World, he would be aware of any movement. Moreover, it was a big event that the Charlotte Family and the Beasts Pirates left the New World. You know, King and Katakuri almost took all their subordinates away from the New World, trying to find a place in paradise.
However, when King and Katakuri led their people to the New World, they did not encounter any obstacles. Although this may also be related to their low-key approach and avoiding all major forces, Leon Lex could not have been unaware of this.
King and Katakuri thought that they were not so powerful that they could hide the truth from the world, even from the King of the New World.
Jhin thought: "Maybe he doesn't care about us. I can't think of anything else."
From the perspective of Jinn and Katakuri, Leon Rex is a very important figure. He owns the three seas and is at the top of the world. Maybe he doesn't care about the choices of Beasts and Charlotte at all.
Katakuri is thoughtful:
"I do have a guess, but it cannot be confirmed now. We will have to wait until we arrive at Marinford and become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea before we can get the answer."
"Anyway, at least we made it out of the new world alive."
Things have come to this point, let him not figure out the things he can't figure out. Not everything in the world can be figured out. First you have to survive before you can think about the future.
"By the way, do you know who the other new Shichibukai are?"
Jin asked Katakuri, the Charlotte family's intelligence network was well-known. Although this was related to the ability of Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit, even after Charlotte Linlin's death, this huge intelligence network was inherited by Katakuri, so it was still very easy to find out some things.
Katakuri does know the other new Shichibukai:
"In addition to our two families, there is also the old pirate group Snag Pirates from the New World, and the swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk who has recently become famous."
"This way, there will be four Shichibukai, and if you count the original two, there will be six, which can be considered a force."
"hope so."
Having lost their captain, Charlotte and Baishou need a more stable shelter to buy time to lick their wounds and recover.
Katakuri needs time to become a general emperor, and Jin needs time to wait for Kaido's orphan, Master Yamato, to grow up.
Even though the captain was dead, all hope was not lost.
Katakuri and Jin are both capable of taking on important responsibilities and are extremely reliable men.
