Holy Land Mariejois:
The five Elders gathered together, looking at the intelligence reports being continuously presented by their subordinates, the atmosphere was particularly tense!
This time, the joint operation of the Infinite Pirates and Flying Pirates destroyed their CP Training Base, which was a major cornerstone of the World Government's rule over the world. Even if they could make up for it in the future, the cost would be immense, and it would require a significant amount of time.
Most importantly, the World Government had just managed to regain a bit of its foundation, only to fall back into a low point! "From this incident, we clearly understand that both the Infinite Pirates and Flying Pirates have the shadow of the Law Network behind them. It is the Law Network that possesses such capabilities, allowing them to pinpoint the location of our CP Training Base!"
"Moreover, the Infinite Pirates now have abilities that we are unaware of, enabling them to move freely between the Four Seas and the New World, completely evading our surveillance!"
Saint Saturn, Warrior God of Science and Defense, calmed down and analyzed carefully.
"According to the current intelligence, the relationship between the Infinite Pirates and the Law Network is even closer. This operation is likely a joint action by the Infinite Pirates and Flying Pirates, aimed at weakening our CP forces."
"Therefore, regarding this matter, the World Government absolutely cannot retreat any further; we must make the Infinite Pirates pay a price. Otherwise, those guys will take advantage of us!"
Saint Ju Peter, Warrior God of Agriculture, gritted his teeth and said.
"That's easy to say. After this incident, our strength has declined again, and our national treasure is still in a cooling period. The Infinite Pirates are in the New World; what do we have to make them pay a price?"
Saint Nusjuro, Warrior God of Finance, shook his head.
"Making the Infinite Pirates pay a price does not necessarily mean directly confronting them. We can target the trade bases of the Infinite Pirates in the Four Seas and Grand Line. As far as I know, many of the goods from the Infinite Pirates are sold at these bases."
"We cannot suppress them in the New World, but can we not deal with the forces under the Infinite Pirates in the Four Seas and Grand Line?"
"Furthermore, this matter requires the Navy to act together, clearing out all the forces of the Infinite Pirates in the Four Seas and Grand Line. At the very least, it can suppress their arrogance!"
Saint Warcury, Warrior God of Law, stated.
"In addition, there is another way to deal with the Infinite Pirates. Look at this intelligence; it concerns someone named Akame. She is very likely Li Yuan's daughter and has been active in the Grand Line and Four Seas for the past two years!"
"According to our investigation, her swordsmanship bears many traces of Li Yuan, and the blade in her hand is the Supreme Grade Sharp Blade Twelve Crafts · Cursed Sword Muramasa."
"Most importantly, during the attack on the CP Training Base, we captured footage of this Akame as the leader of one of the bases."
Saint Mars, Warrior God of the Environment, said.
"So, are we saying that we can capture Akame and then set a trap to lure the Infinite Pirates into our carefully designed ambush?"
"Based on Esdeath's combat power standards, this Akame should not be weak. One top-tier combatant might not be enough; at least two top-tier combatants should act together, and at least one should be able to fly for safety."
Saint Warcury, Warrior God of Law, remarked.
"It won't work if the Navy is deployed; their target is too big. With the Law Network involved, they might alert the Infinite Pirates in advance."
"Then let us take action ourselves. As long as we find Akame's location, we can use our instant teleportation ability to reach her as quickly as possible and capture her."
"At the same time, we will strike at the Infinite Pirates' trade bases in the Four Seas and Grand Line to attract their attention!"
Saint Nusjuro, Warrior God of Finance, suggested.
"Agreed!!"
"Agreed!!"
"Agreed!!"
"..."
"The Flying Pirates are making a big move, aiming to eliminate the World Government's CP Organization training base in the New World?"
"The New World is the New World of pirates; the World Government and the Navy cannot hope to establish a foothold there!!"
"Shocking! The Infinite Pirates have infiltrated the Four Seas, completely destroying all of the World Government's CP Training Bases and successfully returning to the New World!"
"The Flying Pirates and Infinite Pirates have once again joined forces to thoroughly suppress the World Government. Are the pirates and the World Government heading for a full-scale war?"
"..."
In the Four Seas and Grand Line, such a large-scale operation by the World Government and the Navy could not go unnoticed. Recently, under the deliberate leak from the Infinite Pirates, the World Economic Journal obtained insider information and registered the entire situation.
"Not bad, not bad, Morgans is really impressive!"
Li Yuan looked at the newspaper in his hand, nodding in satisfaction.
He intended to use the world's public opinion to gradually undermine the World Government's lofty and unassailable position in the eyes of the people.
More than a decade ago, the World Government was seen as an insurmountable mountain by the lower-class people around the world, and even by the vast majority of pirates, very few dared to touch the World Government's whiskers.
Over the years, the World Government had been defeated by pirates time and again, and its dark secrets had been exposed repeatedly, gradually revealing the mysterious and invincible veil of the World Government.
Let the entire world know that the World Government is not invincible; at least the pirates have defeated the World Government many times.
As a result, many people in the world no longer held absolute reverence for the World Government. Many ambitious individuals began to swell with confidence; even if they did not dare to confront the World Government, they at least no longer felt much fear.
East Blue Syrup Village:
"Infinite Pirates and Flying Pirates, huh? One day, I will also be like Captain Roger, establishing a legendary pirate crew and inheriting Captain Roger's glory!"
Red-Haired Shanks said seriously while looking at the newspaper.
"Hey, I say, stop reading the newspaper and hurry up and pay me the ship fare!"
Yasopp said.
"Hahahahaha, Yasopp, we are old friends; what ship fare are you talking about!"
"Yasopp, why don't you come aboard my ship? Join me at sea; my pirate crew will become a legendary pirate crew just like the Flying Pirates and Infinite Pirates!!"
Red-Haired Shanks scratched his head and suddenly noticed the gun at Yasopp's waist, his eyes lighting up.
"You bastard Shanks, you must have been plotting this for a long time! You don't want to pay, you want to be my captain, and you want my ship to go to sea. How can you take all the advantages!"
Yasopp was taken aback at first upon hearing Shanks' words, but then looking at Shanks' blatant gaze, he immediately understood what this guy was up to—definitely trying to pull a fast one!
"Hahahahaha, Yasopp, you can't say that. You actually wanted to go to sea a long time ago, right?"
"Going to sea is a man's romance. Rather than living your whole life on this small island, why not come with me to sea, to see this magnificent ocean, and then go on adventures with more partners!"
"Think about all the pirate information that comes out in the newspaper every day, and imagine the strange weather and islands in the New World, along with the scenes of competing with many pirate crews. Don't you find it very exciting?"
"Yasopp, become my partner, come with me to sea, and let's see this world together!"
Shanks earnestly invited.
