Smoke billows.
There is a newspaper on the desk.
Standing in front of the desk were Staff Officer He and Inspector Warring States.
The eyes of the two old men passed through the smoke and fell on Akainu's expressionless face.
They have already read today's headlines.
This also means that Maude, who rescued Rayleigh, already knows the navy's role in this matter.
Akainu picked up the newspaper, crumpled it into a ball with a little force, and said coldly: "Should I say I overestimated Big. Mom, or underestimated Maud..."
"A little bit of both."
Crane's expression was as calm as water.
Warring States sighed softly.
After he abdicated, he accepted the position of Grand Inspector.
This position sounds resounding, but it is actually a semi-retirement position, and people generally do nothing.
But when it comes to Mod, the Warring States Period will take the initiative to intervene.
This time is no exception.
At that time, he also agreed with Mod's plan.
After all, as long as everything goes well with the plan, the pirate power in the new world can be wiped out without losing a single soldier.
but…
It was beyond their expectations that the Big.Mom Pirates would be defeated so miserably.
They really didn't expect that Wan Guo, which was incredibly difficult to attack for the navy, seemed to be vulnerable to the Mod Pirates.
Not only was the territory turned upside down by the Mord Pirates, but Rayleigh was also rescued.
"Maud is a man who can do anything..."
Warring States face serious.
Akainu's eyes were cold and he said expressionlessly: "So what?"
“…”
Warring States could not help but remain silent.
He knew the style of the new marshal in front of him, and he would never give in at all when it came to fighting against pirates.
Akainu looked at the silent Sengoku, his palms glowed red, he melted the newspaper into ashes, and said coldly:
"It caused Bon. Mom to suffer heavy losses without any effort. This plan has indeed shown its value, which is enough."
"As for Baijia D. Mod... No matter what the price is, I will never miss an opportunity to deal with him."
“…”
Hearing Akainu's murderous tone, Sengoku's face hardened.
Beside her, He always looked calm, but there was a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Getting rid of Baijia D. Mod is also the result she wants to see.
This is not just for Gion's last wish.
For the Navy Headquarters, the existence of the Mod Pirates is a threat that is not inferior to the level of the Yonko.
If it can be dealt with, it is a good thing with no disadvantages.
"do not forget… "
Warring States looked at Akainu, frowned and said: "Mod holds the lives of three Celestial Dragons in his hands."
Upon hearing Sengoku's reminder, Akainu drooped his eyelids.
He had no respect for the Celestial Dragons, but what he was thinking about at this moment was that he hoped that the three Celestial Dragons who were "held hostage" by Maud would die quickly.
Save yourself the trouble.
Naval Headquarters, Scientific Research Department.
Kizaru put his hands in his pockets and stood by the door of the laboratory, looking at Vegapunk who was busy.
He waited patiently until Vegapunk stopped what he was doing, and then asked:
"Dr. Vegapunk, regarding the research and development of new 'weapons', Marshal Sakaski asked me to come over and ask you when it will be put into actual combat~~"
"If he doesn't mind that it's a 'unfinished product'... with the current progress, it won't be a problem to put it into actual combat."
Vegapunk turned his back to Kizaru and stared at the so-called unfinished product lying on the platform.
Kizaru touched his chin and asked curiously: "How can we turn 'them' into finished products?"
"A qualified memory metal, if you can find it..."
Bega Punk said calmly.
… …
The next day.
Newspapers published through the Morgans Newspaper Agency can fly to all parts of the world in a short time.
The news content is not long, and the pages are almost full of photos revealing the tragic situation of the Big.Mom Pirates.
Seeing these photos, people have a clearer understanding of Big.Mom’s loss.
But among the many photos, a few caught people's attention.
The news content is also somewhat different from yesterday’s headlines.
In addition to continuing to "beat the corpse" of Charlotte Lingling, the newspaper content also involves the Tianlong people.
But the most eye-catching thing is the deliberately bold title.
The nemesis of the Four Emperors—Mod.
That's the headline in today's newspaper.
At first glance, it looks like an exaggerated headline that shocks the Ministry of Information.
But in the news content, it is reasonable and well-founded.
First, the report starts with the death of Whitebeard, and then connects to the news about Mod's defeat of Kaido some time ago.
After this foreshadowing, at the end of the newspaper, there was no thick description of Maud "defeating" Charlotte Lingling.
Yes, there are just a few photos of Charlotte Lingling being chopped off by Maude and falling towards the sea.
Just like what happened to Kaido some time ago...
With so much foreshadowing, there is no need for accompanying text. People who read the newspaper will subconsciously think that Maude not only destroyed Big.Mom's territory, but also defeated Charlotte Lingling with her own hands.
Morgans proudly named this technique: Silence is better than sound.
So much so that people who thought the title was a bit sensationalistic at first glance actually felt convinced after reading the contents of the newspaper.
"The Nemesis of the Four Emperors..."
"If you think about it carefully, this statement makes sense."
"Yes, Bacardi Mod single-handedly defeated Whitebeard in Marineland. Recently, he defeated Kaido and Big Mom. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the nemesis of the Yonko."
"Huh? Look here... it says that Maude 'controls' the lives of three Draconis."
"Hey, is this true?!"
"How do I know if it's true or false?"
"Hey, control... the Draconians don't like that word."
"Didn't I kill two of them before? I wouldn't be surprised if I kill three more."
"That man... really can do anything."
The newspaper published by the Morgans News Agency triggered another round of heated discussions.
The pirates want to see more exciting news, but the people are increasingly uneasy about the future prospects.
… …
Holy Land Marie Gioia.
The Five Old Stars, who apparently represent the highest power of the world government, gather together.
"Is he also a 'D'..."
One of the Five Old Stars was sullen.
In his hand was a report.
"Sakaski did a good job..."
Another five-old star holding a knife stared sharply at the newspaper report about Mod's control of three Draconians.
Chapter 277: That Man
At first.
The attack on the Holy Land of Mariejoia and the killing of two Celestial Dragons shocked the whole world.
Maude, the instigator, became famous.
At that time, people were shocked by what Mord had done, and at the same time they believed that it was impossible for the World Government to let Mord go.
But while people were waiting to see how the World Government would punish Mod, what they were waiting for was the World Government's silence.
This is an unimaginable result.
Incomprehensible, shocked.
This is probably a true portrayal of people at that time.
And now, people saw the report that "Mod holds the lives of three Draconians" in the newspaper published by the World News Economic Agency.
The original confusion seems to have been explained.
It’s no wonder that after the Holy Land Marie Joa incident, the World Government did nothing.
It turned out to be because Maud controlled the lifeblood of three Draconians.
People know the truth behind the original incident, but Wu Laoxing, the apparent leader of the World Government, is inevitably troubled by this matter.
"That bastard Sakaski... actually made his own decisions!!!"
Wulaoxing, who has white curly hair, a fluffy white beard, a flat hat, and a scar on the left side of his face, looks particularly ugly.
In his hand, he also held a document from the Navy Headquarters.
The content of the document is a detailed report that the Navy Headquarters threw the three Thors into the Impel City and then used them as bait to execute the plan of "Driving Tigers and Devouring Wolves".
This naturally includes news of Saul's death.
Wulaoxing, who was wearing a dark blue suit and had three long beards on his chin, took the report from the scarred Wulaoxing, with a chill in his eyes and said coldly:
"I could have used these three 'hostages' to threaten Mod and then take the initiative back..."
"The matter has come to this, any further talk is equivalent to nonsense."
The Wulaoxing, who was wearing a dark red suit and had a golden beard, glanced at the scarred Wulaoxing and the long-bearded Wulaoxing with an expressionless expression.
No matter how much we say about what has happened, it will not help the current situation at all.
Another bald star with a splayed beard and a birthmark on his forehead held his hands against his chin and said calmly: "Using 'news' to release this news, it seems that he intends to use 'negotiation' way to exchange 'hostages'."
"But he doesn't know yet that the 'hostage' he wants to exchange is already dead, but even so, he still has the initiative unless... the 'root cause' is solved."
The bald Five Old Star, wearing glasses and holding a long knife that exuded a strange aura, spoke with a tone as sharp as a sharp blade.
The so-called root cause is that Maud controls the lives of three Tianlong people.
Rather than being controlled by Maud like this, it is better to deal with these three Draconians on your own in exchange for the initiative.
The long-bearded Five Old Star understood the meaning, looked at the Bald Five Old Star in surprise, frowned and said, "You said it very lightly."
The bald five-old star waited in silence, but slightly opened the handle of the knife with his thumb, revealing a ray of edge.
