San Marie Gioia.
Pongol Castle, somewhere in a clean and spacious conference room.
"That's all there is to know about the subsequent arrangements for the new world."
Sengoku held a document in his hand and was sitting opposite the Five Old Stars. He said in a deep voice to the Five Old Stars: "Next, we will focus on the movements of Kaido and the BIGMOM Pirates."
"feasible."
"We must focus on the safest disposal method, Warring States."
"No excessive unrest is allowed."
The five old stars spoke one sentence at a time.
The commander-in-chief of the army, Cyborg Sora, was sitting aside and said in a deep voice: "Speaking of which, there is still no suitable candidate to replace the Shichibukai after Moria. That Fire Fist Ace rejected the Shichibukai's invitation. "
Hearing Kong's reminder, the eyes of the Five Old Stars changed slightly, and one person said in a deep voice: "The vacancy of Moria will cause the balance in the first half of the Great Route to change. The arrangement of the Warring States Period is enough to cope with it, but it seems that something happened to the navy yesterday?"
Warring States' complexion changed slightly, knowing that this matter could not be concealed, and said: "Lieutenant General Ron of the G7 branch reported on Crocodile's conspiracy. He was unwilling to give up the pursuit of Crocodile, and would rather give up his identity as Vice Admiral. Take action."
"Nonsense!"
One of the Five Old Stars banged the table.
Another person was also a little annoyed and said: "Is this Ron so ignorant? Moria's incident has already affected the situation in the first half. If we attack the crocodile again, the situation in the first half will be completely chaotic. Many countries will The navy would be under tremendous pressure if attacked by stragglers."
"Would rather give up the identity of Lieutenant General... Is he serious?"
Next to him, another Five Old Star spoke in a deep voice, "Such words cannot be regarded as willfulness."
Warring States also had a headache and said: "I have temporarily removed him from his position as lieutenant general and prohibited him from mobilizing the troops of the G7 branch, but he may still be able to do it alone."
After hearing what Warring States said, the five old stars couldn't help but frown.
This attitude is even more irritating than Garp's back then. Even if such a character has certain talents and strength, it is really a question whether he should stay in the navy.
"That's not bad."
Kong took over the conversation from the side and said: "Krokdal may not obey the advice and evacuate from Alabasta. Maybe if Ron goes to attack, he will retreat."
Having said this, Kong paused and said, "Having said that, the crocodile is not that easy to defeat, even though Ron defeated Moria before..."
at this time.
The phone bug on Warring States suddenly rang.
He frowned slightly, looked at Wulaoxing and Marshal Kong, took out the phone bug, put it on the table, hesitated, and took the receiver.
This phone bug was contacting the Navy Headquarters. He came to the Holy Land to discuss the Navy's recent arrangements and plans for the sea with Wulaoxing. Aokiji knew about it, and even though he knew about it, he still made a call, which means that it was Something happened that needed to be reported to him.
"I am Sengoku."
Warring States spoke in a deep voice.
And the next moment, listening to Aoki's voice on the other side of the phone, Sengoku, Sora, and Five Old Stars all froze, and the entire conference room fell silent.
"What did you say? Is the news confirmed?!"
After a few seconds, Seng Guo recovered from his shock and said in disbelief.
Crocodile is dead!
Killed by Ron!
Such news made Warring States almost unbelievable. Although he received a decisive and willful call from Ron yesterday, only one day had passed. Not only did Ron actually take action, but he actually gave Crocodile to Crocodile. Got it done!
"I have sent people to inquire about it. I will be able to confirm the authenticity of the news soon. However, I think there is no need to confirm it because Ron also made a request."
"any request?"
"He will replace Crocodile as the Shichibukai."
Qing Zhi's voice came from the other side of the phone, with a hint of a wry smile in his tone.
What is the Shichibukai
That's a pirate!
Even if they are recognized by the government, they are still pirates.
In order to make Crocodile pay the price, Ron not only gave up his identity as Vice Admiral, but was even willing to assume the title of Shichibukai to replace Crocodile!
Even he didn't know what to say.
If the previous Ron seemed to him to be too idiosyncratic for the sake of personal subjective joy and anger while ignoring the overall situation, then the current Ron made him a bit silent.
"Shichibukai..."
After hearing Qing Zhi's words, the expressions of Wulaoxing and others present changed.
Even Sengoku never imagined that Ron would make such a decision... Since the World Government needs the Shichibukai to maintain the balance of the three major forces, then he will kill Crocodile and take Crocodile's place himself!
Ron taking on the title of Shichibukai has almost no meaning or benefit to himself.
Becoming the King of the Shichibukai gives you two privileges. One is that you will not be wanted by the government and the bounty will stop rising. The other is that you can plunder legally.
These two points obviously meant nothing to Ron. He would not have been wanted by the government in the first place, even if he broke away from the navy and killed Crocodile.
As for legal plunder…
Ron killed Crocodile because he couldn't sit back and watch Crocodile continue to get away with his evil deeds to Alabasta. It was simply paranoid justice!
Such paranoid justice requires the evildoers to pay the price at all costs. Ron obviously will not rob or plunder, so this privilege is meaningless.
"This is the best possible outcome."
After a while, one of the five old stars spoke in a deep voice.
Ron's paranoia about justice has reached a certain level. Such a character is more difficult to control than Garp. Even after discovering some of the government's shady stories, it is not impossible to fall out with the government in a rage, so the Five Old Stars have never When Ron decided to take action against Crocodile even if he gave up his status as lieutenant general, he already decided that Ron could not continue to be in the navy.
Ron killed Crocodile, which would undoubtedly have a huge impact on the first half, but he filled the hole with himself.
This is indeed the best result currently.
…
A few days later.
The news that Vice Admiral Ron, in violation of the Shichibukai Treaty, attacked Crocodile and eliminated Crocodile spread throughout the world along with the latest newspapers.
Along with this news, there was also news that Ron was dismissed from his post, and that Ron signed the Shichibukai Treaty with the government and replaced Crocodile.
The world is shaken!
