Chapter 390: Seven Warlords Arrive at Marinford
The naval parade in Marinford was unknown to the public. It was a conspiracy of the Sengoku clan. He used the excuse of summoning the new and old Seven Warlords of the Sea to launch a grand parade to demonstrate the naval power.
However, what was announced to the outside world was that the Seven Warlords of the Sea were being summoned, and at the same time, the strong men stationed outside were being summoned to defend Marinford, to be responsible for guarding against the Seven Warlords of the Sea. After all, the Seven Warlords of the Sea themselves were pirates, and this reason was sufficient. Although Marijoa was also curious why the navy suddenly summoned the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Marinford did have the authority to govern the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so the Five Elders let Sengoku do what he wanted. After all, they had just hit the navy hard not long ago, and it would be okay to let them indulge themselves a little now. You can't let the horse run without grass if you want it to.
Marinford Port——
After CP President Thor's purge, the headquarters had obviously become much quieter. However, with a supreme commander's order from Sengoku, the huge and terrifying war machine started operating again, and the port of Marinford was bustling again.
Many senior generals stationed outside returned to the headquarters. Garp, Zephyr, Tsuru, Sakaski, Borsalino, Kuzan and other strong men of the new and old generations were also stationed at the headquarters to suppress everything.
A pirate ship slowly sailed into the port of Marinford, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding blue and white naval ships.
It was not uncommon for pirate ships to sail into the port of Marinford in a swaggering manner. When Lex launched two great wars, thousands of pirate ships sailed into the port of Marinford each time, and they were even more swaggering. However, it was obviously an alternative situation.
This pirate ship belongs to the Snag Pirates, an old pirate group in the New World. They had already gained fame during the Rocks era. Captain Snag was a well-known veteran in the pirate world. His two-color domineering power was extremely strong, and his unique physical skills allowed him to defeat the fledgling Gekko Moriah on the Thunder God Island in the New World in 1490. That was the melee on the Thunder God Island before the Pentles World Expo.
A melee broke out between CP0 where Enel is located, the Nine-tailed Fox Katarina Depen, the Snag Pirates, and the Gekko Moriah Pirates who have just entered the New World.
In the end, CP0 escaped unscathed, the Snag Pirates defeated Gekko Moriah, and successfully participated in the World Expo. The losers Nine-Tailed Fox and Gekko Moriah were suppressed and detained by the captain of the sky fleet who arrived, and were forced to become high-level slaves at the World Expo. This is why Moriah later fell into the hands of Charlotte Linlin as a slave.
Everything has cause and effect.
As time goes by, Snag and Moriah, the opponents who once fought on Thunder Island, have now come to Marinford, and both are serving as Seven Warlords of the Sea. Things are unpredictable.
The naval sentry reported loudly:
"Stop!~Get off the boat and enter the inner harbor!!"
The pirate ship will never let you enter the inner harbor, even if you are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. What if you have bad intentions? Not everyone can enter the inner harbor.
After hearing this, all the pirates on Snag's pirate ship looked towards their captain, Snag, waiting for his orders.
Snag is now middle-aged, and his mentality has naturally become more peaceful as he ages. He is no longer the young man who was full of vigor and ambition to compete with Golden Roger, and then almost suffered a complete defeat.
He knew in his heart that now that he was under someone else's roof, he naturally had to abide by the navy's rules. He was the first pirate to come to Marinford, and since he had set a good example, the pirates behind him would naturally have a way out and abide by the navy's rules. This way, he could also do the navy a favor.
Years of pirate career taught Snag that being a pirate is not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world.
Besides, he chose to leave the New World and become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea for an ulterior motive, so he naturally had to gain the trust of the navy, otherwise he would not be able to complete the task assigned by that big shot.
After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Snag replied loudly:
"Everyone disembark and walk into the inner harbor!"
Seeing the captain speak, the other pirates didn't say much, and immediately dropped anchor, disembarked, and walked into the inner harbor.
The navy sentry in charge of shouting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this. Fortunately, the Snag Pirates were reasonable pirates. If they were brutal guys, his job would be difficult.
"Thank you for your cooperation!"
Snag nodded slightly and continued to lead his men into Marinford Square.
This was the first time in his life that he set foot on the Navy Headquarters, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It has never happened before that pirates have openly boarded the Marine Headquarters.
The ones responsible for welcoming the Seven Warlords of the Sea were Vice Admirals Sakaski and Borsalino of the Marine Headquarters. Having these two famous naval supernovas welcome them was also to demonstrate the sincerity of the Navy.
The Navy really values the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
"welcome."
Although Sakaski believes in absolute justice, he actually does not reject the policy of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Maybe in his eyes, although the Seven Warlords of the Sea are also pirates, they are pirates that can be used temporarily. He can let the pirates fight each other, and after eliminating other pirates first, he can turn around and kill all the Seven Warlords of the Sea. In this way, he can eliminate the pirates to the greatest extent possible.
Sakaski is such an absolutely cold and rational person. He accepts the existence of the Seven Warlords only because they can temporarily eliminate other pirates. Borsalino's idea is even simpler:
"Kawawa no Ichi!~, he's a powerful pirate~"
An extremely wretched wrinkled old face, a wretched pair of black sunglasses, a wretched black gentleman's hat, a wretched suit, and a wretched navy man who is artistically wretched.
Snag clasps his fist:
"Hello, my name is Snuggle."
"Well, come with us."
In Sakaski's eyes, an obedient pirate like Snag is valuable, so he is a little more polite to him.
"Oh my goodness~ I'm Borsalino."
The younger brothers behind Snag were shocked by Kizaru's personality, which could be described as performance art. They didn't expect that the world-famous nature-oriented vice admiral was such a strange man.
At the same time, in the Marshal's office——
Sengoku, Tsuru, Zephyr, and Garp looked down at the scene below:
"Xiaohe, how long will it take for the other Shichibukai to arrive?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru immediately replied:
"Except for the elusive Hawkeye Mihawk, the other Shichibukai will all arrive at the headquarters today. However, Hawkeye has promised the headquarters a time to arrive, and with his aloof personality, he shouldn't delay."
Zhan Guo thought for a moment, "Well, most of the troops who requested to return to defend the headquarters have returned."
“They have all returned.”
Garp didn't know that the gathering of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was actually a conspiracy by Sengoku to hold a naval review, so he asked curiously:
"By the way, it would be too much trouble to ask all those people to come back just for a few Shichibukai. I can defeat them all by myself!~"
"Just do whatever you are told to do!~"
Of course, Sengoku did not have a good face towards this rogue vice admiral, and many things could not be explained to him too clearly. Garp's carefree personality could not keep secrets.
It is enough for Tsuru and Zephyr to know this. As for Garp, he is more of a mascot of the navy and is generally not needed.
