196 Chapter 195: Im and Shiratori Saint Cloth—
Although Rifan mentioned it in interrogative sentences, he has basically determined that the World Government wants Edward Weevil to become the new Shichibukai.
After all, Crocodile and Doflamingo, who were the original Shichibukai were defeated by Vivi and Rebecca respectively.
And Gekko Moria was directly made into a doll corpse by Shiki.
Shichibukai now has only four, but minus Jinbei who was suspected as a spy due to future events. In order to maintain the balance of the sea, the world government will definitely be anxious to find suitable candidates to become the new Shichibukai.
And Edward Weevil, his strength is enough qualification.
In addition to convenient control, they only need to give enough money to Edward Weevil's mother, Miss Bakkin, to basically allow him to do things for the World Government.
Such existence is the ideal Shichibukai for the World Government.
Compared to Zephyr, who is old and whose strength has declined severely, and can no longer deter the sea, Edward Weevil is indeed much more useful.
[Golden Lion Shiki: If this is really the case, then it is really an interesting thing, Jiehahahaha~]
[Black Arm Zephyr: My business, will it still attract the attention of the Sword Saint Rifan? This is really an honor for me. Your Excellency Rifan, I have a question. I hope you won't mind. Since you put Impel Down into your own hands, do you intend to use your own power to catch the pirates?]
[Sword Saint Rifan: I am not interested in capturing pirates, but someone wants to bring back the prisoners who are about to escape, so I took her as a disciple. The price is exactly this Impel Down. ]
[Black Arm Zephyr: In other words, you are not going to take the initiative to catch the pirates. However, if someone sends a pirate to you for detention, do you allow Impel Down to detain them?]
[Sword Saint Rifan: Impel Down is managed by my disciple. If she is willing to take it into custody, there is no problem. ]
[Black Arm Zephyr: Yes, if I can go out in the future, I hope I can send the captured pirates to you. After all, the Impel Down you guard seems to be much stronger. ]
At this moment, in the sea not far from Naval Headquarters, on a warship.
"Mr. Shuzo, do we really not return to Naval Headquarters, but change our direction to Impel Down?"
Zephyr's disciple, Binz asked the muscular man in front of her.
"Yeah!" Shuzo nodded seriously, "Like you, I also want to go to the Naval Headquarters and take Instructor Zephyr's away."
"But looking at the current situation, the World Government will not allow Instructor Zephyr to leave."
"If we go this way, maybe we will be the same as Zephyr Instructors."
Hearing this, Binz frowned and said, "However, Impel Down is now occupied by Rifan. Will it cause misunderstandings?"
"Just now, Rifan deliberately used [Projection Card] to warn Marines not to approach the Impel Down waters."
At this time, another student of Zephyr, Ain, the Regressive Fruit Ability user, came over and said in a cold voice:
"Since teacher Zephyr doesn't want to continue to serve as a Marine, then I don't need to be a Marine either."
"As long as we are not Marine, we can enter the Impel Down sea area."
"Just now, Teacher Zephyr specifically mentioned Rifan's Impel Down. I don't think it was a casual mention."
"Perhaps Teacher Zephyr really thinks it is possible to cooperate with Rifan."
Shuzo looked at Ain and nodded appreciatively:
"Yes, I think so too."
"And if we find Rifan, it may be possible for him to help get Zephyr Instructor out of Marine's hands."
"I have received a lot of favor from Zephyr Instructor, and I don't want to see him being so wronged here at Marine."
"If you are sure that you are not a Marine anymore, then go to Impel Down with me."
Hearing Shuzo's words, Ain and Binz nodded without hesitation.
Soon, the decision of Shuzo and Ain was communicated to all seamen on the warship.
Like Ain and Binz, all marines on the warship agreed with Shuzo's approach.
After all, unlike other Marines, they are all seamen who have been following Zephyr, and they are more willing to side with Zephyr than Naval Headquarters.
At the same time, Naval Headquarters.
"Enough, Zephyr, stop talking!" At Naval Headquarters, Sengoku said with a complex expression.
Sengoku was both angry and sad when he saw that his good colleagues suddenly had such a big opinion of the Marine.
"Are you really going to betray Zephyr?" Sengoku asked. "Even if I told the Elders to give up letting that guy become Shichibukai?"
"Can you do it, Sengoku?" Zephyr gave Sengoku a look. "Will the Elders agree?"
"I have to admit that before, I may not be able to do it, but now, it may not be anymore." Sengoku glanced at the golden list, and continued "Because of what you said just now, many people have learned about this, and even that man named Issho suspected Marine's justice."
"In addition to Mr. Issho, many people who plan to join the Marines may also change their minds."
"Allowing Edward Weevil to join Shichibukai will result in a sharp decline in the number of people willing to become Marines. Even the Five Elders do not want to see it."
Hearing this, Zephyr couldn't help frowning.
He knows that what Sengoku said is true, and now things are like this, the possibility of Edward Weevil becoming Shichibukai will indeed become smaller…
But even if Edward Weevil could not become Shichibukai, Zephyrs asked himself if he wanted to keep on being a marine…
Finally, Zephyr sighed and looked up at the golden list without saying a word.
On the side, seeing that Zephyr did not continue to leave a message, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the battle between the young Akainu and Im on the golden list has also ended.
[Golden Lion Shiki: This Im is quite strong. Although Akainu was not a Marine Admiral at that time, and his strength is not as strong as he is now, it is already very good. But being able to defeat Akainu at that time so quickly, the true combat power of this Im has reached Admiral's level.
[Red-haired Shanks: No. Seeing her easy-going posture, maybe she still holding back her strength. ]
[Dark King Rayleigh: There are so many hidden powerhouses in the world. ]
"Who is this woman?" Akainu frowned.
He knows his past self's strength and being able to defeat his past self in a few minutes. I am afraid that only Sengoku and Garp can do it.
And now, Im did the same thing, which can only show that her strength may not be inferior to a strong person like Garp.
–Congratulations to Im for completing the first stage of the challenge and randomly obtaining the bronze saint clothing [Shiratori saint clothing].
–Question— do you want to proceed to the next stage of the challenge?
Im put her hand on the white bird-constellation saint cloth in front of her, and a cold feeling spread through her body through her hands.
However, although the saint's clothing was cold, it didn't make Im feel any discomfort.
On the contrary, the faint connection with the saint clothes made Im feel a little cordial toward the Saint clothes.
With Im's thoughts, the Shiratori Saint Cloth suddenly split, and finally covered Im's body.
Immediately, Im felt a wonderful power flowing on the holy garment.
"Is this the power of the small universe?"
"It turns out to be so powerful!"
After closing her eyes and perceiving carefully, Im was surprised to find that the power of the small universe flowing on the saint's clothing was much purer than Haki!
This can only show that compared to the small universe, Haki can only be regarded as a lower-level force.
Facing the Golden List question, Im did not immediately make a decision. She sat directly on the ground and chose to feel the white bird's sacred garment on her body.
At the moment when she put on the saint's clothing, she not only felt the power of the small universe, but also a strange feeling filled her heart.
It seems that as long as she makes a certain action, she can strike a certain powerful action.
'Before the second challenge, I should try to master this power first.' Im thought in her heart.
