Chapter 266 The storm is coming

Grand Line, Panaro Island.

"Tch, I was deceived."

Ace shook off the pirate in his hand and spat in dissatisfaction.

On Gaya Island, he noticed that Blackbeard Teach and his group were leaving. He didn't even bother to talk to Luffy and catch up with the past. He hurriedly chased after them. Who knew that it was someone else pretending to be there.

"That guy Tikki is so cunning!"

Ace murmured in a low voice, and then thought about the possible directions in which the other party could escape.

Teach is very ambitious and wants to do big things. He ran all the way from the New World to Paradise, so he must have some plan.

"No matter what, I must catch him!"

Thinking of his friend who died tragically at the hands of Teach - the captain of the Fourth Squadron, Thatch, Ace clenched his fists.

···

On the other side, in a certain sea area, aboard the Meili.

"Thieves hahahaha, I caught you!"

Blackbeard Teach and his crew sat grandly on the bow of the ship, holding a Luffy in his hand.

"Damn it!"

Luffy looked angry, but he was helpless. The strong suction emanating from Blackbeard's palm made it impossible for him to exert any strength at all.

"Straw Hat Luffy, White Horse Cavendish, Blackfoot Sanji."

Blackbeard looked at his trophy with satisfaction.

"The first step of the plan went well."

Beside Blackbeard, Lafayette rolled the crutch in his hand into a stick, and a smile appeared on his pale face.

According to the latest bounty order, these three people are all pirates with a bounty of over 100 million. They can be said to be the strongest group of people in the first half of this great route.

Moreover, they have not been at sea for a long time, so they can be said to be supernovas among pirates.

Using these three people as bargaining chips should be enough to exchange the position of the King's Shichibukai from the hands of the World Government.

Once they have the identity of King Shichibukai, they can implement their next plan.

Everything is under control!

"What to do with these three people?"

Badgers pointed at the weak trio of Straw Hats.

Usopp, Nami, and Chopper hugged each other and shivered.

They were sailing on the sea, and these guys in front of them suddenly caught up with them on a tattered raft. After connecting with the ship, they showed a crushing power and defeated them instantly.

"This tanuki seems to have something to do with that man. It's not the time to have a conflict with him yet, so just let him go."

Blackbeard glanced at Chopper, remembered the previous friendly attitude of the [Ghost Sword] towards him, and decided to let him go.

"As for this woman..."

Blackbeard looked at Nami, who was protruding forward and backward, and a malicious smile flashed across his face. He slowly walked over and stretched out his sinful hand.

"Hey hey hey~~"

"Nami!"

"Asshole, what are you going to do to Miss Nami!?"

Luffy and Sanji's expressions changed dramatically, and they scolded Blackbeard, but they couldn't slow down his actions for a moment.

"Wait a minute, I am the woman of [Hegemony]!"

Nami's head turned quickly and she immediately raised Rhodes' flag.

"oh?"

Sure enough, Rhodes' name still had some intimidating power, and Blackbeard paused slightly.

"What a cunning woman. You are just rookies who have just entered the Grand Route from the East China Sea. How can you have anything to do with the hegemony?"

After a slight pause, Blackbeard rolled his eyes.

"Hegemony has been to the East China Sea before, and that's when we met!"

Nami's head was spinning rapidly, using all the information she had to formulate some half-truth and half-false information.

"He was in the East China Sea at that time, and he easily defeated the Golden Lion."

This is a story Nami heard from Luffy's brother, [Fire Fist] Ace before, and she only knew that the East China Sea had faced such a huge danger.

Blackbeard looked at the expression on Nami's face and couldn't tell the difference for a while.

Speaking of which, Hegemony did go to the East China Sea.

The most important thing is that this woman looks too confident and doesn't seem to be pretending.

"Hehe~ Since you are a hegemonic woman, let me let you go."

Blackbeard put away his outstretched claws. She was just a woman, and it was not worth taking any risks.

The most important thing now is to sell these three supernovas at a good price to start their next plan.

"Let's go, boys!"

The Blackbeard Pirates grabbed the three main members of the Straw Hat Pirates and the wealth they had worked so hard to collect, and jumped back to their raft pirate ship. They also grabbed Usopp, and they The other three people put together and left the pirate ship to Nami and Chopper.

"Nami..."

On the Meili, Chopper looked at Nami with tears in his eyes.

"Chopper!"

Nami hugged Chopper, wiped her tears hard, and gritted her teeth to cheer herself up.

Although they have experienced many difficulties along the way and faced various enemies, this is the first time they have been completely wiped out like this.

The real world of pirates is so cruel!

However, now is not the time to cry!

Luffy, Usopp, Sanji, Cam. They have all fallen into the hands of the enemy now, and the only one who can save them now is themselves!

"Set sail and return to Gaya Island!"

Nami put down Chopper and walked to the helm of the ship, her eyes determined.

"Um!"

Although Chopper was still panicking and had tears in his eyes, he nodded vigorously after hearing Nami's command, turned into a strong man, and was busy operating the sail alone.

The remnants of the Straw Hat Pirates, who had suffered a terrible blow, drove the Merry and sailed alone to Gaya Island.

···

New World, Silver Frame City.

The portal opened, and Zoro carried Kidd and Killer out of the portal.

"This is..."

In Zoro's hand, Kidd widened his eyes and looked at the magnificent building in front of him.

Obviously, this is not Gaya Island, the architectural style is completely different!

"Welcome to the new world, rookie!"

A voice came from the side, Kidd's face changed, turned his head and looked, and then a hint of surprise rose in his eyes.

"Are you, [Strange Monk] Urouge!?"

It was a monk with wings on his back and a burly figure. It was the rookie pirate who went to sea at about the same time as him. Kidd had some impression of him and had read about him in the newspaper.

Not only that, the bounty of the other party was not low. He was a pirate who was called a supernova in the newspaper together with him.

"Kid, and Killer, it seems that your pirate group has been completely defeated."

Urouge looked at the two people held in Zoro's hands.

"Let's talk about the past later."

Another man with wings on his back walked out of the shadows.

"Take them to the second team first."

Several figures appeared and took Kidd and Killer over.

'That's it? '

Kid's eyes were full of disbelief.

He is a devil fruit ability user, a super rookie, and a pirate supernova.

No need for any precautions? Just arrange a few people to take him away?

'You asked for it! '

Kid's face flashed a trace of ferocity.

"You let me into your camp without any precautions. Let me turn the world upside down for you!"

Kid clenched his fists, and the magnetic force flashed in his palms.

Bang!

The man holding Kidd had a flash of red in his eyes, as if he had noticed something. A layer of dark domineering aura wrapped around his fist, and he punched Kidd's head fiercely, interrupting his spell.

On the other side, the man holding Kira seemed to react a little slowly, until Kira's sickle popped out from his arm and swung it hard at him, and then he reacted and wrapped the domineering aura around his arm.

The extremely sharp sickle chopped on the opponent's arm, but it broke with a sound, turning into pieces of crystal blades, scattered all over the ground.

"You two, you are very dishonest."

The people holding Kidd and Kira looked at each other.

'How is it possible! ! ! '

Without paying attention to the enemy's words, Kidd and Kira looked at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The few people who were responsible for taking them away were not important cadres.

Is everyone here so strong! ?

Kidd and Killer fell into deep doubt.

Are they too weak, or is the other party too strong!

···

"Do you feel it? The storm is coming."

In the room on the top of the tallest building in Silver Frame Castle, Rod stood by the window. His sight passed through the distant distance and saw Zoro who had just returned, as well as the uneasy Kidd and Killer.

"Are you finally ready to act?"

Law looked at Rod.

"I said the storm is coming, not that I'm going to take action."

"But whether there is a storm in this world or not, isn't it still up to you?"

Rod didn't refute, but just stood by the window and looked at the city under his feet.

This city was built quickly in more than a year with the strength of everyone.

After more than a year of accumulation, his power has become stronger!

Whether it is personal power or the power of the pirate group under his control

The current Lod Pirates have thirteen divisions under their jurisdiction, and the fourteenth division is being formed, with Katakuri as the captain, Zoro as the vice-captain, and Urouge as the third officer.

In addition to the captain and vice-captain, each of these fourteen divisions has seven officers, each of whom has the strength comparable to that of a naval officer.

Although most of them rely on Lod's ability to forcibly improve their strength after soul endowment, this does not affect their strength.

In addition to these backbone forces, each division also has a large number of ordinary members. In total, each division has about 500 people, and the fourteen directly affiliated divisions add up to about 8,000 people.

In addition to the fourteen directly affiliated divisions, the Lod Pirates also have some affiliated pirate groups, but those people are just tools for the Lod Pirates to expand their influence, and they are not their own people at all.

The only ones who can be considered their own people are probably the many security companies around the world.

The members of the security company have always been the cradle of talents for the Rod Pirates. Currently, there are more than 100,000 ordinary members in the branches of the security company around the world.

However, due to the tacit understanding between the security company and the World Government, except for the security company in the New World, the security company has not expanded in the first half of the Grand Line and the Four Seas, and its influence is not great.

Even so, the power held by the Rod Pirates can be regarded as terrifying.

In the past year or so, although there has been no major conflict between the Lots Pirates and the World Government, the game between the two sides has never stopped. There will always be some friction from time to time, but both sides are forbearing and waiting for a suitable opportunity.

And now, this opportunity seems to have come!

"Straw Hat Luffy was captured by Blackbeard Teach and handed over to the World Government in exchange for a seat in the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"The World Government used Straw Hat Luffy as bait to try to lure [Fire Fist] Ace and capture him."

"[Fire Fist] Ace fell into the trap and fought against the Navy Admiral Kizaru. Although he failed to save Straw Hat Luffy, he escaped unscathed."

"The World Government imprisoned Straw Hat Luffy and his crew in Impel Down."

"The World Government announced that it will publicly execute Straw Hat Luffy in two weeks!"

Recently, news has been coming one after another, some of which are public news, and some are internal secrets obtained through special channels.

However, all of these news reveal a feeling of impending storm.

"Straw Hat Luffy doesn't seem to have done anything extraordinary. With his identity, he is not worthy of being publicly executed by the World Government."

"However, his father is the Revolutionary Army Dragon, who is the most dangerous man in the world designated by the World Government."

"It is not ruled out that the World Government intends to use him as bait to lure out the Revolutionary Army."

"In addition, [Fire Fist] Ace is his brother. If Straw Hat Luffy is to be executed, [Fire Fist] Ace will rescue him no matter what."

"And now that Whitebeard is getting old and gradually giving up power, with Whitebeard's own appointment, Whitebeard The people of the Straw Hat Pirates have already regarded him as the next captain. If he wants to rescue the Straw Hat Boy, it may become a major event that the entire Whitebeard Pirates will participate in! "

"Also, the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates may look inconspicuous, but he is the son of Jesus.

The most important thing is that the straw hat of the Straw Hat Boy was passed down to him by Red Hair, and he is also recognized by Red Hair.

Will Red Hair watch the person he recognizes being publicly executed by the World Government? "

A mere Straw Hat Luffy was actually involved in the Revolutionary Army and two Pirate Emperors.

Of course, if you insist, he can also be related to the Rhodes Pirates.

The chef in the pirate group is the third son of the Vinsmoke family, and the Vinsmoke family now serves the Rhodes Pirates.

And the ship's doctor on their ship is an old friend of Rhodes and his group.

Boom!!!

Outside the window, lightning and thunder, dark clouds, just like the current situation in the world.

Rhode stretched out his hand, feeling the turbulent weather outside, his eyes became brighter and brighter, his soul was stirred.

"It's coming, a huge war sweeping the world!"

The autumn water inserted in his waist turned into a pink baby dragon, climbing along Rhode's body, and seemed to sense Rhode's excitement, raising his head and letting out a dragon roar.
