The news of Crocodile's defeat was like a hurricane passing through no man's land, only a few people knew about it.

Before the news was released, the rest of the people had no way of knowing that Crocodile, the king of the Shichibukai, had been captured by the navy.

Asuka turned his head and glanced at Crocodile, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, then looked down at the phone bug in his hand again and said.

"Smoothie, there is nothing suspicious about this. Didn't you read the news in the New World Newspaper two days ago?

Isn't that a precursor to taking action against Crocodile?"

whispering sound!

Smoothie snorted and glanced sideways at the newspaper published by World News Agency on the table.

How could she have imagined that the navy would take action so quickly?

The newspaper was published the day before, but Shichibukai was gone the next day.

This is too fast.

Thinking of this, she put the phone bug on her lap, leaned on the sofa, and began to think about the impact of this incident on the Big Mom Pirates.

Although the people from the King's Shichibukai individually have little influence on my mother, if they were forcibly summoned by the government to join forces, even my mother would find it very difficult.

The people in the government are really confused, and they actually dug into this wall by themselves.

"Ah!"

After lightly laughing, she picked up the phone and asked again.

"I'm very curious. Did Crocodile offend the Celestial Dragons and even be deprived of his title?"

In Smoothie's eyes, Crocodile had been staying in Alabasta for the past few years and rarely set foot in the New World.

Hasn't this guy always been a pirate hero in the World Government and the affiliated countries?

Why does the title disappear immediately?

The reason for this is really curious.

"Well~"

Feiniao took out a cigar from his arms and lit it directly.

Although this is a hospital... Crocodile is the one who lives in the ward, so it's okay to die of smoke.

After taking two puffs of the cigar, he held the microphone with one hand and spoke casually.

"He touched some taboos that cannot be touched, and the importance of those taboos is enough for the World Government to pay the price of canceling Crocodile."

“What taboo??”

Smoothie looked at the phone bug with curiosity. She couldn't figure out what taboo it was that would make the World Government pay the price of removing a Shichibukai.

"I can't tell you the details of ancient weapons, lest your family hear about them and cause a lot of trouble."

whispering sound!

Smoothie pouted, then she put her right leg on her left leg and chatted casually with Asuka.

"Did your navy develop any secret weapons?

Speaking out has given me a lot of experience.

After all, you also know how much impact this incident will have on the world.

I always feel that you are not ready for the vacancy of the Shichibukai yet."

Listening to Smuji's teasing voice coming from the phone bug's mouth, Feiniao opened his eyes and looked around, then leaned against the big white wall of the hospital and said.

"The Shichibukai are very powerful, but there are only seven of them.

Although one of them has been withdrawn, it will have an impact, but it still cannot change the status quo of the Great Pirates Era.

As far as the World Government is concerned, the group of people above actually turned a blind eye to the behavior of the Shichibukai, treating it as their friendship with the government.

But now, if it is cancelled, it is cancelled, but the burden on the Navy has become heavier."

Having said this, he couldn't help but look up at the ceiling and secretly sighed.

I don’t know how much military spending the Warring States Marshal can get from the World Government through this incident.

This is a major event in which the King's Shichibukai was cancelled. How many pirates will escape Crocodile's pursuit in the future and enter the Grand Line... How much trouble will it cause to the navy...

It’s not too much to bring a few of the latest warships, right?

That warship of mine...it's time to replace it...

...

at this time.

The Warring States Period was indeed discussing this matter with the World Government, but it was not with the Five Old Stars, but with another person.

At this time, Seng Guo was seen standing in front of the window with his hands in his pockets, looking through the glass at the sea of ​​clouds outside, and said with a heavy face.

"Brother Kong, although Crocodile has been captured now, the situation in the sea will definitely become very difficult in the future. I am worried that the navy may not have so much spare power to control the sea in the future."

"well!"

Speaking of this, Warring States couldn't help but sigh.

Although what he said was a bit exaggerated, it was the truth.

With the fall of Crocodile, there is a vacancy in the position of the King's Shichibukai. In the future, those pirates passing near Alabasta or heading towards each other will become trouble for the navy in disguise.

Although this is the responsibility of the navy,... the burden on it is heavy...

This means that expenses have increased, but income has not.

Somewhat overwhelmed.

Sora also knew that as a gap appeared in the Shichibukai, the burden on the navy would become heavier. Once the gap was filled, the navy's environment would be much better.

Thinking of this, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and said in a deep voice.

"Sengoku, do you have any suggestions for the next Shichibukai candidate?"

"suggestion??"

Hearing this, Warring States' mind instantly thought of Garp's grandson.

To be honest, the other party has become a pirate now, and the only way to cancel the wanted order is to become a Shichibukai. Mainly because the identity of Garp's grandson is really troublesome.

It is also a stain on the navy.

The grandson of a naval hero became a pirate, which clearly shows his disdain for justice.

but...

Thinking of the pitiful bounty offered by the other party, Zhan Guo twitched the corner of his mouth and spoke slowly.

"not yet!"

"Yeah..."

Kong pondered for a moment and then shook his head, shaking the idea of ​​commanding the navy out of his mind. He had already left the navy and there was no need to give any advice to the navy.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then, with a thoughtful look on his face, he spoke.

"Warring States, I'll say hello to the shipyard next year. Then you can ask someone to pick up a few warships. As for next year's military expenditure..."

As he said that, Kong's face also became a little embarrassed.

The world government is not having a good time either. The Celestial Dragons have been overdrafted a lot recently. Let’s not talk about it. Let’s just say that the cost of the world government sending people to hunt down the revolutionary army is really too high.

The revolutionary army is more harmful to the world government than pirates.

Military spending...

After pondering for a moment, he glanced at the clock on the wall, and then Sora faced Sengoku again and continued.

"Sengoku, after Asuka returns from Alabasta, you take him to the Holy Land."

"good!"

Warring States thought about the incident with Asuka and kept talking about him going to the New World to perform a mission. After bringing him to the Holy Land, he might as well let him go to the New World.

Thinking of this, he pushed up the toad mirror on the bridge of his nose, and began to recall the tasks in the new world in his mind, intending to find the one suitable for Asuka.

Now he has a general understanding of his strength.

It may be difficult for him to face the Yonko, but there is no problem against the other pirates in the New World.

Although the New World is ruled by the Four Emperors, there are still many great pirates outside the Four Emperors' sphere of influence.

If that doesn't work, you can give him the task of monitoring the movements of the Four Emperors.

...

at this time.

A hospital in Albana.

Feiniao put the hung up phone into his arms, and then he turned and looked to the southwest with a puzzled look on his face.
