Chapter 43: Preparation for the Seven Warlords

"Oh? Granny Tsuru! Hahahaha, of course, I just want to join the Shichibukai and make a contribution to protecting the peace of the Grand Line."

Kuro said shamelessly.

"Okay, we will contact the Five Elders again and give you a final reply tomorrow."

"Remember one thing, I don't want the navy soldiers to be harmed, otherwise even if the admiral doesn't have time, I will still hunt you down."

After Grandma Tsuru finished speaking, she hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Sengoku looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru.

"Xiaohe, why did you agree to contact the Five Elders? I should have told you how dangerous he is."

Zhan Guo looked puzzled.

"Do you have a better way? The battle on Qiqia Island is already fierce. Akainu sent a message half an hour ago, near the blockaded sea area."

"A navy soldier spotted the Big Mom Pirates' vanguard ship. He guessed that Charlotte Linlin might also join the battle."

“If she joins in, I’m afraid the entire island near Qiqia Island will be destroyed.”

Granny Crane said as she crossed her arms and looked at Zhan Guo.

"And to prevent the Red Hair Society from interfering, Garp left the Marine Headquarters three days ago and went to the Red Hair Pirates' territory to conduct surveillance."

"As for Kizaru, I have contacted the Five Elders. They said that the Celestial Dragons only believe that Kizaru can protect their safety, so they will not let Kizaru leave."

"Then, the only one who can go to support Akainu is Kuzan who is guarding the headquarters."

After listening to Vice Admiral He's analysis, Zhan Guo frowned.

"If Aokiji goes to Qiqia Island for support, then you and I can only guard the Navy Headquarters, so we can't send anyone to deal with this kid, right?"

After Zhan Guo finished speaking, he pinched his eyebrows with his right hand. It seemed that this time, taking advantage of every opportunity gave him a headache.

"That's right. With that kid's strength, even if Ghost Spider and Flying Squirrel go, they probably won't be able to take him down, so we can only agree to his request first."

"After all, he still holds the lives of dozens of marines in his hands."

"I don't believe that this kid just wants to be a Shichibukai. It won't be too late to catch him when he does something dangerous to the navy."

After Grandma He finished speaking, she looked at Zhan Guo, who was struggling with his thoughts in silence.

"However, Qiwuhai is already full, will the world government agree?"

Sengoku finally compromised. There was no other way. The current situation was that if he did not agree to Kuro's request, dozens of naval soldiers would lose their lives.

And if Kuro goes crazy, the naval branch in the first half of the Grand Line will also be destroyed.

Because no one is free to deal with Kuro, but his strength is enough to destroy the Marine branch.

So I had no choice but to agree.

"Let's contact the Five Elders first and listen to their opinions. If they can get Kizaru to go out, then there's nothing to worry about."

Vice Admiral He thought about it and gave a solution.

"It can only be this way."

After Sengoku finished speaking, he took out the Den Den Mushi of the Five Elder Stars.

BLU BRU BRU.

BLU BRU BRU.

Click.

"Hello? Sengoku, what's going on?"

The Five Elder Stars answered the Den Den Mushi.

"A pirate has kidnapped two vice admirals of the navy and demanded to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Warring States is simply and clearly finished.

"You must be kidding, Sengoku! The Shichibukai can't be joined just because pirates threaten the navy!"

The Five Elders scolded.

"Of course I know, but there is no one in the Navy Headquarters who can catch him now."

Zhan Guo's tone was full of helplessness.

"Kaido and Whitebeard fought on Zizia Island. Akainu went to protect the kingdom on a nearby island while keeping an eye on the outcome of the battle."

"However, just now, Akainu sent a message that Charlotte Linlin's vanguard ship appeared and it looked like they were also going to join the battle, so they sent a message for help."

"Since Garp is keeping an eye on Red Hair, I can only send Aokiji here. Otherwise, you can send Kizaru to support Akainu, and I will let Aokiji catch that kid."

Sengoku directly threw the choice to the Five Elders, letting them choose for themselves whether to let Kuro join the Seven Warlords of the Sea or send Kizaru to support them.

"How strong is that kid?"

After a moment of silence, the bearded Five Elders asked the Den Den Mushi.

"Above Lieutenant General, below General."

Zhan Guo thought for a moment and replied.

Another moment of silence followed.

"Since the Shichibukai is full, we can agree to let him become an alternate Shichibukai."

"Candidate Shichibukai?"

"Yes."

"The World Government will stop the bounty on him and will no longer pursue all the crimes he has committed before. However, his privateering activities will not be allowed."

"Also, he is not allowed to have his own territory, but he must be present when the World Government needs his help."

After discussion among the five of them, they decided that Kizaru still couldn't be released. After all, the fighting outside was intense right now, and the safety of the Celestial Dragons must be guaranteed.

So the result of the discussion among the Five Elders was to prepare the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

They only agree to stop the bounty on you, and the navy will no longer pursue you. However, as long as you rob privately, the navy can arrest you.

At the same time, you can only travel on the Grand Line, but you cannot have your own territory. If the World Government needs you to do work, you must be present.

After listening to this, Zhan Guo thought to himself, you old bastards are still so cunning. We just give you a name that we won’t hunt you down, but you are not allowed to do anything else. You must be available at any time when something happens.

You are even darker than that pirate, Zhan Guo had just finished complaining in his heart and didn't allow him to say anything else.

The Five Elder Stars hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Sengoku looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru, who had his hands crossed and resting his chin on his hand.

"I don't think that kid will agree to it, and he might even kill Ji Hai and Kaimo directly."

Vice Admiral Tsuru thought for a moment before uttering these words.

"Yeah, that kid is not a fool. Once he hears these conditions, he will think we are playing tricks on him."

Zhan Guo looked solemn after he finished speaking.

Damn the Five Elders, why do they have to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea? It's just for two reasons: one is that they can plunder privately, and the other is that they can have their own territory.

If you deny these two points, then why would he be a Shichibukai? Being a pirate is better than this.

Just as Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru were thinking about how to tell Kuro.

Kuro had fallen asleep heartlessly.

After Mrs. Crane hung up the phone, Paul's signature roasted meat legs were also ready, exuding a tempting aroma all the way out of the kitchen.

The naval prisoners on the deck, who had been hungry for a day, could not help but drool at the corners of their mouths.

"Captain, the barbecued pork legs you ordered are ready."

Paul handed the roasted leg of meat to Kuro, but Kuro threw the plate away, grabbed the big leg of meat in his right hand, and bit it desperately.
