New World, Lilith's Egg, The Black Order Headquarters.
At the end of this island, Makima stood on the edge of a cliff, looking at the surging ocean below, and said softly, "Mr. Sengoku, are you here to report something?"
Behind her, Sengoku slowly walked over.
He was wearing the Marine Admiral's coat of justice, and looking at Makima's face, he felt a bit wary.
He already knew what had happened in that sea through Garp and Zephyr, and he also knew what state Shiki was in at the time.
But killing Shiki in any state would show the strength of Makima's side.
Shiki was not a fool, even if he was badly injured, he could probably escape.
At least it would be difficult for them to chase after a seriously injured Shiki who possessed the Float-Float Fruit, especially since he also obtained the Shikon Jewel that could enhance his strength.
However, he still died, and he died shortly after leaving.
"The Five Elders have received the news of Shiki's death." Sengoku came here specifically from the Marine Headquarters to convey the meaning of the Five Elders, after all, Makima would not carry a Den Den Mushi with her when she was outside.
Therefore, Sengoku had been waiting at The Black Order Headquarters, and he came as soon as Makima returned.
"Shiki is dead, and our contract has been officially signed." Makima said, "In the initial stage of The Black Order, we still need a lot of support from you Marines."
"You're joking. With such powerful partners like the Thunder God, The Black Order only needs to develop normally to become an indispensable part of the World Government."
Sengoku said, "Besides asking if The Black Order has any needs during its establishment, I am also here on behalf of the Five Elders to ask…"
"Ask?" Makima slowly turned around, looked at Sengoku, and the two met eyes.
"Kraken should have four Shikon Jewel fragments on his body, and now those fragments…" Sengoku said softly, "Should be on Miss Makima's body, right?"
"..." Makima chuckled, she slowly walked forward, getting closer and closer to Sengoku, and finally brushed past him.
"Gold Lion was buried in the belly of a fish, I couldn't even get his body, so how could I get the Shikon Jewel fragments on him?"
"This is not an acceptable explanation." Sengoku frowned.
"No need..." Makima said behind him.
"No need?"
At this moment, the two of them stood back to back, one looking at the sea and the other looking at the island, and a strange atmosphere seemed to be forming between them.
In this kind of 'confrontation', Makima said, "It's only been a few days since the negotiation ended, and the World Government seems to have already forgotten that The Black Order does not need to give the World Government an acceptable explanation."
She took another step and walked towards the depths of the island.
"What's more, there's no need for me to lie to you. The Shikon Jewel is a precious thing in your eyes, but I never need that kind of thing."
Her voice became weaker and weaker, and her figure became more and more blurred, until only one sentence reached Sengoku's ears.
"I can give a Shikon Jewel fragment to the World Government, and naturally I won't care about two or three, but some things that shouldn't be obtained but are forcibly demanded can often lead to bad results."
Sengoku didn't speak. As a Marine Admiral, he wouldn't get involved in politics. Whatever happened here, he only needed to convey the original words to the Five Elders.
But that doesn't mean that he himself doesn't have any opinions on this matter. At least Sengoku still insists on his own view, that the World Government should not cooperate with Makima to establish The Black Order at all!
Although...
She did accomplish something that they Marines hadn't done - killing Gold Lion Shiki, and in the future, she might help the Marines do more things, but a highly independent organization developing under the banner of the World Government might become a threat far greater than a large pirate.
However, he is a soldier, and political matters are the business of the Five Elders. In terms of power, he originally had no right to interfere in these matters. Perhaps only when he becomes a Fleet Admiral will he barely have some right to change the situation.
Sengoku glanced at The Black Order Headquarters and slowly left.
The Marine Headquarters is where he should be. This New World island is a bit depressing.
.........
After that, the world seemed to suddenly fall into a kind of silence. Although there was still constant killing and various wars, there was less of the kind of news that could affect the world situation.
Whether it was the Nine-Tails bombardment of Mary Geoise, or the death of Rocks and the appearance of the Shikon Jewel, the emergence of the World Government's fourth major organization, The Black Order, or the deaths of Kraken and Shiki, things happened one by one within half a year.
It was almost Sea Era 1485, and the tense nerves of the people had finally relaxed a lot during this time, as if they had returned to the daily life of the past.
However, the occasional news of Shikon Jewel fragments still stimulated the nerves of these great pirates, letting them know that a change had already taken place in this world.
As the end of the year approached, Genichi, who was stirring up the world situation, looked at his emotion value again.
He hadn't done anything during this time, and had been constantly provoking the nerves of the entire world. It might make them fall into numbness. Big events like this are better done step by step, he has plenty of time.
"Positive emotion value: 1364142"
"Negative emotion value: 7452341"
This is the emotion value that appeared in Genichi's eyes. After such a long period of growth, his positive emotion value had successfully broken through the million mark, and the negative emotion value had reached a full seven million.
Now, the growth of these two values has become very slow. It seems that the things he created in the past have already passed the stage of providing emotion value.
Then… let's prepare for the next step.
It's not that he wants to draw a character card again now, after all, he has already reached more than seven million, and he is only a little short of being able to draw a card at the ten million level, and he doesn't want to draw a character card at this time.
Although if you are unlucky with a ten million level draw, it won't be much different from the upper limit of a million level, but if you reach the upper limit, you might be able to directly draw a character that surpasses the level of the Four Emperors.
Therefore, what he is going to do is an item draw, after all, his positive emotion value is only more than one million, which belongs to just breaking through the million mark, so using it is fine.
And he has never done a million-level item draw before!
