Chapter 151 The World Government's Attention

Rod looked at Nia with a strange expression.

In fact, after failing to challenge Whitebeard many years ago, Crocodile seemed to realize the insurmountable gap between the two sides, and placed his hope of becoming the "Pirate King" on ancient weapons.

His goal was one of the legendary ancient weapons, a super battleship that could destroy an island with one shot - [Pluto]!

And Alabasta was the place where he found out the relevant information about [Pluto] after many inquiries and intelligence collection.

So many years ago, after becoming a Shichibukai, Crocodile came to Alabasta and secretly inquired about [Pluto] under the identity of Shichibukai.

From this point of view, Nia's guess was not wrong. Crocodile was indeed looking for news about the "treasure" in Alabasta.

However, this so-called "treasure" was not the wealth of pirates, but an ancient weapon that could subvert the world!

However, even if she knew that the other party was not looking for the kind of wealth she imagined, I am afraid Nia would not be disappointed.

After all, she likes to hunt for treasure not for the treasure, but for the joy of finding treasure.

What's more, they are not short of money now.

Whether it is the pirate group or the members in the group.

With Tezoro, the Golden Emperor who controls 20% of the world's circulating currency, the Rhodes Pirates will probably never have to worry about money.

However, no matter what, Nia's idea coincides with Rhodes's.

Although he has never met the crocodile, Rhodes has always been thinking about him.

At the beginning on Tiger Shark Island, the people of Baroque Works had their eyes on them.

Although he was killed later and took away [Huazhou].

Later in the Whiskey Town, Rhodes directly razed the base of Baroque Works and robbed all their treasures.

Even Daz Bonis, who had just joined Baroque Works, was recruited by Rhodes into the Rhodes Pirates.

Rhodes glanced at Daz Bonis who was seriously steering the ship.

After his training was effective and his strength improved, Daz Bonis no longer spent all day training or training like before, but took over the position of the helmsman on the ship.

This taciturn guy is as reliable as his appearance, whether in combat or in daily affairs.

I don't know if Bonis can beat Crocodile now.

Although Bonis's strength has improved greatly, he is not yet at the point where he can fight and win against the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

However, in another timeline, Crocodile was defeated by Straw Hat Luffy who had just entered the Grand Line and had not yet mastered Haki, and Rhode was not sure what level the opponent's strength was at.

Now Bonis has mastered the Armament Haki and has the qualifications to fight against natural ability users. If Bonis, who was supposed to be Crocodile's subordinate, defeated him, the scene must be very exciting.

With thoughts flashing in his mind, Rhode suppressed his expectations and coughed lightly.

"How can you say it's robbery?"

"Crocodile has been staying in Alabasta for all these years. He must have some unspeakable secret. As a 'partner of justice', how can I sit back and do nothing after discovering his conspiracy?"

"We are the heroes who exposed the pirate conspiracy!"

"How shameless!"

Nia gave Rod a thumbs up.

"But I like it!"

As if she saw the future where they killed Crocodile and took all his treasures, Nia showed a mysterious smile on her face.

"Hurry up!"

···

"The Rod Pirates have set sail!"

Marijoa, in a hidden room.

Several intelligence personnel hung up the Den Den Mushi and quickly gathered the information.

"Do you know the direction they are heading?"

"It should be Alabasta."

A CP member answered immediately.

"The Rod Pirates have no intention of hiding their whereabouts. When they set out, they announced their destination to the people on Drum Island. However, there is no guarantee that the other party will really sail as they said."

"Alabasta?"

Guernica frowned slightly.

After inviting Rod to become a Shichibukai last time, he was assigned a new job - to be responsible for paying attention to the movements of these Shichibukai.

Although the Shichibukai is a policy launched by the World Government, it does not mean that the World Government really trusts them.

Necessary monitoring and attention are still necessary. After all, those who can become Shichibukai are the best among pirates, and these guys all have their own plans.

After Guernica took over the new job, his authority was also expanded a lot, and he could consult many materials that he had no right to consult before.

"That guy, is he so restless?"

Thinking of the situation when he met Rod before, Guernica had a slight headache.

They just received relevant information a few days ago. Many people who disappeared for many years reappeared and told that their shadows were taken away by Gekko Moria and they had been wandering in the Devil's Triangle.

The reason why these people can reappear now is because Moonlight Moria, who has been entrenched in the Devil's Triangle, was defeated by unknown persons!

Although the world government urgently suppressed the news, many people still learned about it through various channels.

And a few days later, Moonlight Moria, who had been entrenched in the Devil's Triangle and never moved, suddenly left, suspected of going to the new world!

According to relevant intelligence, it is speculated that the person who defeated Moria and made him move again was Ba Fist Rhodes.

Unexpectedly, this guy had just provoked a Shichibukai, and then immediately wanted to come within the sphere of influence of another Shichibukai. A bad premonition suddenly arose in Guernica's heart.

"There shouldn't be any more problems, right?"

In the new world, a new pirate emperor has been born and a new pattern is forming. This is when the world government needs the power of the Shichibukai.

If any major changes occur in the Shichibukai at this point in time, it will also be a huge blow to the prestige of the World Government.

among powers.

Seeing the information presented by CP0, Wulaoxing frowned slightly.

When Rhodes was first recruited to become the Shichibukai, the other party made a request for the weapons of 'Pirate King' Roger; later on the Drum Island, Bartholomew Big Bear, the meat ball fruit, also joined the other party. , that guy was once an important member of the 'Revolutionary Army'; and now, the Rhodes Pirates are heading to Alabasta, a country with special characteristics.

Plus the orphan of O'Hara in the Rhodes Pirates, Nico Robin, the son of the devil.

This made Wulaoxing have to wonder if Rhodes had some secret information.

If that was really the case, they would have to reconsider whether the other party was really suitable as a Shichibukai.

"I just said that Nicole Robin should not be kept!"

The bald Five Elders Saint Wuchuli said.

He has always insisted that Nicole Robin should be arrested directly.

However, because the red-haired man had just become the Pirate Emperor, the situation in the new world was not stable, and even the entire sea was a little shaken, so he had to make a compromise and invite No. Te Rhodes became the Shichibukai to create a new balance in this sea.

"The matter is over, there is no need to say such words anymore."

Maz Sheng, the environmental warrior god with long white hair and a long white beard, said.

Letting Rhodes become a Shichibukai was unanimously approved by them, and even looking at it now, there is no more suitable candidate than him.

"Besides, Rhodes hasn't done anything extraordinary yet, so let CP0 continue to pay attention."

"Second!"

Saint Satan, the God of Scientific Defense, echoed the words.

"Besides, Vegapunk's research has made some progress. We may soon be able to obtain man-made weapons that can be used as soldiers. By then, we can just clean up all these disobedient pirates."

"Second!"

"That's not bad."

Hearing Saint Satan's words, the other two Five Old Stars who had not expressed their opinions also nodded.

They have also heard about Bega Punk's research.

If the other party's vision can really be realized, the power of the World Government will expand unprecedentedly, and then naturally there will be no need to care about these Shichibukai.

"However, we can't be completely careless. After all, Rhodes has a history of defeating Moria. Alabasta is no better than the Devil's Triangle. If Crocodile is defeated again, it won't be as easy as Moria. Covered."

"If the whole world knows that there are many disputes among the Seven-thousand-Arbiter Sea, and they will fight against each other, it will be a huge blow to the deterrence of the Seven-thousand-Arbiter Sea."

"That's right."

Saint Wuchuli nodded.

"Send someone to keep an eye on them."

"However, members of cp0 cannot be used."

The bald Saint Nashoulang held a long sword in his arms and pushed up his glasses.

"Yes, with the vigilance of Crocodile and Rhodes, if it is CP0, they will probably be discovered instantly. If the Shichibukai discover that the World Government has sent CP0 to monitor them, I don't know what kind of trouble will happen. Storm."

The Shichibukai are a group of weird guys, and even the Five Old Stars are not sure how they will react.

"Then let the navy be!"

···

"Have someone go to Alabasta and pay attention to Rhodes and Crocodile?"

Warring States hung up the phone, thinking about the call he just received, and pinched his eyebrows with a headache.

The above only says to pay attention, but does not say what exactly to pay attention to.

Although I don’t know why the World Government is so concerned about the possible meeting between these two people, but these are two Shichibukai, who should they send there?

Ordinary lieutenant generals would not be able to stop or change even if something really happened.

The admirals all have important matters to attend to, and it is impossible for them to make a special trip just for something like this that they don't know whether it will happen or not.

Bang! !

The office door was suddenly pushed open.

"Pfft hahahaha, Sengoku, I brought good tea, please take out all your senbei!"

"Garp!!"

Looking at the cracked door that he was dissatisfied with, Warring States was furious.

Um! ?

Looking at his old friend in front of him, Sengoku's glasses lit up slightly.

I was worried just now about who to send over, but isn’t this the most suitable person in front of me?
