Chapter 281 7 Wu Hai
A few days later, a piece of news that puzzled and shocked people spread quickly throughout the world along with the soaring news bird.
"Surprise! Dragon Fist Jerry reached an agreement with the World Government and took his place as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"The Shichibukai are full once again, and more powerful than ever!"
After seeing the news reports, common people around the world who still remembered Jerry and the princes and nobles of the member states were all excited.
Some people are happy, some are confused.
Those who were happy were mainly the princes and nobles who held a certain amount of power in their own country, while those who were puzzled were mostly the civilians and members of the Revolutionary Army who regarded Jerry as a hero and role model who dared to resist the nobles and the Celestial Dragons.
You know, Jerry's deeds in Alabasta and the Bridge Country have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of many nobles and civilians.
Even some interested parties or people who became fans of Jerry because of these events went out of their way to learn about Jerry's past.
But with the release of this issue of the newspaper, the nobles cheered and were excited.
The people who were inspired by Jerry's deeds or words and who were already in rebellion or secretly harboring the intention to rebel mostly threw the newspapers on the ground and stomped on them hard.
The reason was simple: the newspaper had published the details of how Jerry became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
These included the capture of two new generation pirates with high bounties, the apology he submitted to the World Government, and the huge amount of wealth he paid as tribute.
To outsiders, all these behaviors undoubtedly indicate that the powerful pirate who once faced the Celestial Dragons without fear, inspired people with words, and could easily stir up a wave of people's resistance and destroy a country has now completely surrendered to the World Government.
……
New World, aboard Moby-Dick.
"What the hell is this kid doing?" Marco scratched his head in confusion.
If Marco hadn't known that Ace's brother had been arrested and that Ace was preparing a rescue operation, and if he hadn't understood Jerry's character, he might have mistakenly thought that Jerry had compromised.
"Gulala! That kid, this must be one of the steps they are taking." White Beard laughed loudly towards the sky.
Whitebeard and the others only knew that Ace was going to cause trouble, but they were not clear about the specific action plan, but this did not prevent them from guessing the reasons behind Jerry's behavior.
If we were to say who knows the Kuroko Pirates and Ace best, apart from the members of the Kuroko Pirates themselves, Whitebeard and his captains would definitely have a seat at the table.
……
The Redforth.
"Wow! What do you think?" Shanks handed the newspaper to Beckman.
Beckman calmly took it, glanced at it, and said casually: "I use my eyes to see."
Shanks was stunned: "What you said does make sense."
……
"Damn it, this kid, isn't he coming for us?"
Blackbeard Teach stared at the newspaper in his hand, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
Although he was not familiar with Jerry, it did not prevent him from knowing that this man and Ace had once belonged to the same pirate group. Even though they later belonged to different pirate groups, they still kept in touch.
"What's wrong? Captain, do you want me to deal with him? Hahaha!" Badgers raised his arms high, showing off his strong biceps.
"Badgers, don't be stupid. Not to mention that we are both Shichibukai now, even if we are not, you should never provoke him. I don't want you to get killed for no reason. Haha!" Teach warned him with a big laugh.
Then, a strong sense of urgency inexplicably arose in Tiqi's heart. He murmured in a low voice: "No, no matter whether he comes for me or not, I can't let him ruin my plan. It seems that I have to do something."
……
The noise and attention from people around the world were like passing clouds to Jerry.
At this moment, he was shamelessly lingering in the busy port of Marinford, the headquarters of the Navy.
On the quiet coast, Jerry sat on a folding chair he brought with him, holding a fishing rod, fishing leisurely.
Suddenly, he noticed footsteps approaching, so he turned his head slightly and saw two familiar figures who he hadn't seen for a long time.
Jerry raised his hand first, with a bright smile on his face, and greeted enthusiastically: "Hi, Miss Gion, Iska, how are you?"
"What the hell is going on? This is the headquarters of the navy! How did you get in?" Gion narrowed his eyes and asked.
Jerry waved his hand and continued with a smile: "Don't be so formal. After all, we are working for the same boss now, and Marshal Zhan Guo didn't chase me away."
"I am just an old man in a straw raincoat and a straw hat, fishing alone in the cold river in the snow. You can just treat me as a heartless fishing machine or a sculpture. It won't affect you."
"Don't give me that..." Gion put her hands on her hips, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by a sudden roar.
"Miss Gion!"
A brown figure flashed by quickly, and Kaji, with a big grin on his face, arrived.
Gion turned his head and glanced at Kake, whose eyes were only visible through the slits, and said calmly: "Aren't you still on a mission? Why are you here?"
"Of course I returned from a successful mission. I came here immediately after hearing that there were pirates here." Kaji answered seriously, but in his heart he cheered: "Great! Miss Gion is paying attention to my schedule!"
"Really? Then you keep an eye on him for me. I'm leaving first." After saying that, Gion turned around without hesitation and left quickly.
Iska secretly glanced at Kaji's smug expression, which was still full of self-admiration, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Then she waved to Jerry and followed Gion's steps.
In the office, Zhan Guo stared intently at the documents in his hands, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.
He was also looking through some information, sitting on the sofa next to him with Garp, who had just arrived.
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by the newspaper on the table. He picked up the newspaper, read the contents, chewed the senbei in his hand, and laughed out loud:
"Haha! Tell me, was that Celestial Dragon really beaten stupid by him? How could he still agree to let him become a Shichibukai?"
"Who knows? It is said that he said something, and then the celestial dragon agreed." He responded casually without even raising his head.
"Ahem, Garp, don't yell at me while we're discussing this." Sengoku knew how outspoken his lawless old friend could be sometimes, so he quickly spoke out to remind him.
Then, he sighed, "Alas, we can all see that his intentions are not pure, but there is nothing we can do..."
"This is the decision of the World Government. You don't need to blame yourself. We just need to be careful. Compared to him, I don't think the previous Blackbeard is much better." Crane glanced at Garp and said calmly.
"Blackbeard..." Garp's eyes flickered and he muttered to himself.
Naturally, Garp had no good feelings towards this pirate who defeated his grandson and openly handed him over to the World Government, putting him in a dilemma and making him extremely conflicted.
Sensing the sensitivity of the topic, Zhan Guo quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, you have fought against Long Quan before. Is he really that strong?"
Garp swallowed the senbei in his mouth in one gulp and smiled again: "Hahahaha, Sengoku, you're changing the subject a little abruptly. Didn't I tell you all this before?"
Sengoku and Tsuru looked at each other and saw that Garp seemed to have recovered as usual, so they both breathed a sigh of relief.
