Soon!
A piece of news once again spread throughout the entire world!
The world, already in turmoil, was shocked yet again.
The World Government actually released news, establishing a new system, the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
Seven powerful pirates were chosen to become pirates recognized by the World Government, possessing their own fixed territories and the right to legitimate plunder!
Could it be that the World Government had lost its mind?!
The pirates who are currently Seven Warlords of the Sea include:
Dracule Mihawk!
The man known as the World's Strongest Swordsman!
Donquixote Doflamingo!
Heavenly Yaksha! Bounty: 340,000,000 Berries!
Gekko Moriah!
Bounty: 320,000,000 Berries!
Knight of the Sea Jinbe!
Bounty: 438,000,000 Berries!
Boa Hancock!
Pirate Empress! Bounty: 80,000,000 Berries!
A series of names shocked the entire world.
All of them were great pirates with fame throughout the world!
It is well-known that a bounty does not only represent strength, but also represents the pirate's destructive power to the world.
As for Five-Five-Kuma and Kuma, they have not yet joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"First Collaboration Between the Seven Warlords of the Sea and Marine New Stars Achieves Great Success!"
A news report detailed the collaboration between Esdeath and Hancock, defeating the great pirate of the New World, Blazing Bark.
The words within even made ordinary people feel their blood boil; so this was the World Government's true intention!
Those who had been about to curse the World Government also shut their mouths.
Using pirates to fight pirates, such a genius idea was simply not something an ordinary person could come up with.
"Hahaha, well done!"
Countless commoners who couldn't see the full picture cheered, praising the World Government's brilliant move, calling it truly beautiful.
Countless pirates cursed the pirates who became Seven Warlords of the Sea, disdaining their actions and despising their lack of freedom.
Only a few perceptive individuals knew, how could pirates willingly become the World Government's dogs?
It was just each having their own schemes, merely using each other.
...
"Esdeath-sama!"
Tina bounced over to Esdeath, holding a newspaper.
Sure enough, it was exactly as Esdeath-sama had said, so she wouldn't have to defect from the Marine with Esdeath-sama.
Taking the newspaper Tina handed her, she read it carefully. Indeed, it was exactly like the idea she had proposed.
"Alright, it's time for us to go."
Esdeath stood up and left her office, coming to the deck. Finally, she could go pick up her four little ones.
"Yes!"
Tina also happily left the deck. Finally, they were leaving Amazon Lily.
Suddenly remembering something, Tina was a little unhappy but still spoke up to remind her: "Esdeath-sama, should we tell Boa Hancock?"
Although she was unhappy, it was clear that Hancock liked Esdeath-sama. Would it be a bit impolite to leave like this?
"It's fine, let's go."
Shaking her head, she, Esdeath, had no relationship with Hancock. Why tell her? The mission was complete; she should leave.
"Alright then."
"Hard to port, set sail!"
At Tina's command, all the leisurely Marines sprang into action. The previously relaxed warship became busy once more.
"Captain, that Marine warship seems to be leaving?" A female warrior by the sea reminded her captain, watching the warship begin to move.
The message they received was to watch this Marine warship, and if there was any unusual movement, they should report it immediately. These were Snake Princess-sama's exact words.
"I'll report to Snake Princess-sama!"
She dialed the Den Den Mushi. This Den Den Mushi was given to her by Snake Princess-sama specifically for monitoring the Marine warship.
Even the Den Den Mushi looked like Snake Princess-sama.
Buruburu!
The Den Den Mushi connected, and Hancock's exclusive Den Den Mushi also opened its eyes.
"Snake Princess-sama, Esdeath-sama is leaving. Are you coming over?"
"Give Esdeath what I gave you."
Hancock watched the moving Marine warship from the highest point of Kuja Castle. She was afraid that if she went over, she wouldn't be able to control herself and would lose composure in front of Esdeath.
"Yes, Esdeath-sama!"
The female warrior captain hung up the phone, quickly walked to the side of the warship, and called out to Esdeath.
"This is what Snake Princess-sama asked me to give you!"
With one hand, she pulled out a white piece of paper and handed it to Esdeath.
"A Vivre Card?"
Looking at the blank white paper in her hand, it was slowly moving towards Amazon Lily.
Her gaze, somewhat complex, turned towards Kuja Island. She hadn't expected Hancock to actually give her Vivre Card to her.
It should be known that such an item should never be given out unless it's to a very important person, as it concerns one's own location and safety.
"Esdeath-sama..."
Tina watched this scene with some concern. A pirate handing a Vivre Card to a Marine meant entrusting their life.
If the Seven Warlords of the Sea system were abolished one day, Hancock would have nowhere to run.
Esdeath stood at the back of the deck, looking up at Kuja Island. Hancock on Kuja Island was also looking at the Marine warship.
Their gazes seemed to meet.
"Will you come back again?"
"I will!"
Two voices seemed to echo in the ethereal distance.
...
"Ah~ Esdeath-sama~ I can't take it anymore~ So handsome~"
Sadie panted, holding the newspaper, looking as if she wanted to lick it.
"He's certainly handsome, but you look..."
Ain looked at Sadie's appearance. Anyone who didn't know would wonder what was going on. She snatched the newspaper away.
"Ah~ Ain-nee-san~ Give me the newspaper~"
Sadie clung to Ain's long legs, whining, her voice so sweet it could melt bones. Unfortunately, Ain clearly wasn't falling for it, or rather, she was immune.
"Don't try that. I haven't finished reading it yet, and you took it away. You were practically..." Ain rolled her eyes at Sadie before finishing her sentence.
If Esdeath came here, Sadie would go crazy. She hadn't seen her in half a year and was already like this.
"Exactly, exactly, we haven't seen it yet!"
Tashigi snorted and ran with Domino to Ain's side, happily looking at it.
It had been a long time since they had seen Esdeath-sama. They wondered how Esdeath-sama was doing. A newspaper this morning had scared them all.
They immediately went to Teacher Zephyr. Fortunately, Teacher Zephyr reassured them to wait, and only then did they return to their dorm.
Esdeath-sama was coming to pick them up soon, and they would be able to see Esdeath-sama!
Just thinking about it made their hearts pound. They were so envious of Tina-nee-san, who was always by Esdeath-sama's side.
Now even Smoker had been transferred, leaving just them!
