Now, Festa was so bold as to exchange the tickets for the celebration and the heads of the admirals at equal value.
Such behavior is undoubtedly a provocation to the navy.
However.
The pirates who were looking forward to the celebration were very excited about it.
A naval captain's head was exchanged for a ticket to the celebration.
This makes sense.
Because this is an unprecedented celebration that can be linked to the Great Secret Treasure.
Furthermore—
Their heads have always been exchanged for bounties. This time, it was their turn to turn against the guests.
"I can understand Festa's approach."
Maude looked at the newspaper with a calm expression.
The holding of the celebration will inevitably cause interference from the Navy Headquarters.
The rules set by Festa can cause trouble and obstacles to the navy on the eve of the celebration.
Maybe the effect won't be much better, but at least it can maintain a consistent purpose for those pirates who want to participate in the celebration.
Almost predictable—
The beginning of chaos.
"Hoho, it's a bit interesting to exchange the head of a colonel from the headquarters for an admission ticket."
Lafayette squinted his eyes, and the crutch in his hand swung from side to side like a pendulum clock.
He, who claims to be Maud's right-hand man, seems to be very interested in this kind of rule.
Perona floated behind Maud, looked at the newspaper in Maud's hand, and whispered: "Only at the hiding master can the head be exchanged for admission tickets, but what is the hiding master?"
"A profession active in the underground world. The main business content is to help people keep valuables for a fee."
Maude answered Perona's question.
According to the rules listed by Festa, those who want to participate in the celebration must hand over the body or head to the hiding division after hunting a colonel from the navy headquarters.
Only then will the Tibetan Master reveal where the tickets are stored.
As a result, with the participation of the hiding division, even if the navy intends to intervene in advance, it will not be an easy task.
After all, hiding has always been the specialty of hiding masters.
But on the other hand, for this level of cooperation, Festa would probably have to pay the hiding master a large sum of money.
From this point of view, the heavenly gold robbed by Festa and Barrett should not be a small amount.
"First kill a colonel from the navy headquarters, and then go to the hiding division to redeem the admission ticket. The conditions for participation are very simple."
Shiliu gently rubbed the handle of the knife with his thumb, and his tone of voice when speaking was extremely cold, as if he was about to recommend himself to take over the task in the next second to get the head of a colonel from the navy headquarters.
Qingzhi glanced at Shiliu without any trace.
Even though he had left the navy, Festa's behavior still made Aokiji feel unhappy.
In comparison, Xiliu, who was also born in the navy, did not think there was anything wrong with this rule.
"Hoho, everyone who saw the newspaper should have already taken action, so we have to hurry up, Captain."
Lafayette stopped the swing of his crutch, put it behind him, and looked at Maude.
After hearing Lafayette's words, everyone present looked at Maude.
"Well, let's get the tickets first."
Facing everyone's gaze, Maud looked calm.
Shiliu immediately volunteered: "Leave the task of hunting the naval colonel to me."
Maude shook her head, with a hint of amusement on her face.
"I never said... I have to abide by the rules of the game set by that guy."
“…”
Everyone had different expressions when they heard this.
... ... ..
Navy Headquarters.
Marshal's Office.
Akainu's face was gloomy.
The conditions for admission tickets to the celebration set by Festa were simply a naked provocation and did not take their navy into consideration at all.
How could Akainu, who had always had a bad temper, endure it
Now, he wanted to punch Barrett and Festa into the hot lava.
But then I thought about it—
Now that the new pacifists' combat power has been renewed, isn't this so-called pirate celebration an opportunity to wipe out all pirate forces
You can even stand still and wait for a top-level cut-in opportunity in the melee.
Anyway, as long as the pirates can be eliminated, no matter how dirty or despicable the method is, Akainu will do it without hesitation.
This is his consciousness and his justice.
"Pirates are all damn scum."
Akainu lowered his head to look at the newspaper on his desk, with cold murderous intent brewing in his eyes.
He didn't know how many years he could sit in this position.
But as long as he is in power for a day, he will not miss any opportunity to punish the pirates.
to this end-
Sacrifice, price.
None of it is a pity.
At this moment, the sound of clogs hitting the ground came from the corridor outside the office.
Akainu looked up at the open office door.
Just by hearing his voice, he could tell that the person coming was Fujitora, one of the current generals.
A few breaths later, Fujitora in a purple kimono appeared in front of the office door, then walked into the office on wooden clogs, and kept tapping the floor in front of him with the wooden stick in his hand.
Akainu said expressionlessly: "Don't let me down again, Fujitora."
The sound of the wooden stick hitting the ground suddenly stopped.
Fujitora stopped still and looked up at Akainu, revealing the whites of his eyes.
He groaned first, and then said calmly: "I understand the weight of this action, and I will not hesitate to do it even if I die."
"It better be so."
Akainu clasped his hands, and his deep voice revealed a sense of oppression.
"This ridiculous pirate celebration is an opportunity that can change the times... As long as we seize this opportunity, the era started by Roger's words 24 years ago will come to an end!"
“…”
Fujitora remained silent.
From a righteous standpoint, the era that Roger single-handedly started was undoubtedly a bad one.
But no one knows whether the new era that exists in the future will be worse or better.
now-
The difficult and troublesome pirate forces are still standing firm on the sea.
It's not easy to get rid of it in one pot.
But this so-called celebration is indeed a rare opportunity.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the office.
Fujitora heard the sound and did not look back.
Akainu looked beyond Fujitora to the office door, his brows slightly furrowed.
After a while.
Three men wearing white coats and strange masks came to the office.
Akainu looked at the visitor coldly and said unceremoniously: "It's definitely not good to see you at this time."
With that said, Akainu took off the cigar and pressed it hard against the ashtray.
A snort.
The end of the cigar was snuffed out, and wisps of white smoke came out.
"Watch your words, Sakaski."
One of the masked men had a very unkind tone.
"who do you think You Are?"
Akainu loosened his cigar, looked down at CP0, and then said coldly in a tough tone: "Go back and tell the Five Old Stars that no matter what they want to do... this time, don't get in the way!"
"you… !!!"
The three cp0 members who had not yet stated their intention were slightly stunned.
The tough attitude shown by Akainu at this moment directly shocked them.
... ... ...
The "rules of the game" thrown out by Festa through the newspaper made all the pirates who wanted to participate in the celebration act quickly.
In contrast, naval branches located around the world, as well as naval units stationed around the world, have all reached the full alert level.
After dealing with pirates for so many years, no navy will underestimate the cruelty of pirates.
In a sense, all it takes is a clear temptation for the pirates.
So, pirates can do anything.
When the last newspaper slowly fell to the ground from the sky.
The fighting between the two camps suddenly broke out.
Less than a day.
The naval base stationed to guard one side and the warships going out to perform missions were all attacked by pirates.
And this combat information is like a data stream, rapidly transmitted through relevant channels in the underground world.
If someone successfully hunts a navy officer at the level of a general.
Then, people who hang out in the underworld and have no intention of participating in the celebration will drink and cheer at the same time.
If someone accidentally fails, he will be wiped out by the navy.
Those who cheer are still cheering.
It's a carnival.
Onlookers never find it too exciting to watch.
The constantly changing information in the underground world represents the passing of fresh lives.
And the leaders of various forces who have information are secretly paying attention to the trend.
"What does Festa want to gain from this celebration?"
This is a question that they, who are in high positions, will naturally think about.
Do you want to participate, and when should you participate
This is also a question they should think about.
