Chapter 152: Blackbeard's Shichibukai Plan [+1]

"According to Hina's report, Rifan and his group left Alabasta smoothly."

"Perhaps that woman was not affected by the zombie virus."

"That woman's strength is not weak. Even if the virus is effective for her, if the treatment is timely, there should be no problem."

At this time, Tsuru suddenly spoke.

"Tsuru, you are right, this is what I think too."

"By the way, she should be arriving at Naval Headquarters at this time."

Sengoku nodded and spoke.

As soon as Sengoku's voice fell, there was a rush of footsteps not far away.

Everyone looked back, and it was Hina who came.

"Marshal, everyone, what happened here?"

Hina took a few steps forward, looking at the frozen zombies, her beautiful eyes widened to the maximum.

"I tell you, Hina."

Gion opened her mouth and briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter.

The more Hina listened, the more surprised she became.

"Could it be that Rifan's caution is because of this?"

"That man already knew?"

Hina muttered to herself, and couldn't help thinking about what he said when she parted with Rifan.

"Hina, you mean, Rifan knew that something like this might happen at Naval Headquarters?"

Sengoku quickly walked up to Hina and asked quickly.

"Rifan didn't say anything specifically to Hina at the time."

"He just tell Hina to be careful."

"By the way, before Hina left, he even injected Hina with a strange potion."

"And said it can protect Hina."

"He even said that if Hina needs it, he can use the den-den mushi left by Gion Vice Admiral to contact him."

Hina looked at Gion and said.

"It seems that man has already cleared up the virus through that woman Bonney."

"Sengoku, maybe we should try to contact that man."

"There are many people who are infected but not turned into zombies, we can't just watch them turn into the living dead."

Tsuru suggested.

"I know, Tsuru! I'm just worried if that man wants to talk to me."

Sengoku sighed, you know, he had breached the contract with Rifan twice in a row.

"No matter what, you have to try it."

"If we can't get to understand how to prevent the zombie virus."

"In the future we may lose recruits because of the virus made by Golden Lion."

"Sengoku, we can do both."

"Have someone take some infected and zombified soldiers to the Marine research unit."

"See if those scientists can decipher the virus."

"On the other hand, we also want to see if we can get an antidote from Rifan."

Zephyr spoke.

"Ok, that's only we can do."

"Borsalino, I will leave it to you to take some people to the scientific research unit."

"I'm going to try to contact that man Rifan."

"Hina, you come too."

"I hope you can tell me about what that man said and did to you."

"I wanted to get to know that man well enough to find the safest way to talk to him."

"I also need to call all the Shichibukai to discuss the new appointment of a new Shichibukai which is troublesome."

"That Rifan, and Shiki, actually made so many things."

Sengoku complained, then turned and walked towards the conference room.

He didn't even notice that Hina's fair face flushed a little because of his words.

'S-should I also say about our relationship?'

Meanwhile, the other side.

New World, Dressrosa.

"Billion Berry?! Is Marine an idiot?"

"Why did that man bounty increase again?!"

Doflamingo held the reward order for Rifan in the latest newspaper, and frowned tightly.

"Not only Rifan, Mikita and Nami who once caused Virgo to lose an arm also have a new bounty."

"300 million Berry and 230 million Berry, Doffy, the Black Pearl Pirates may not be as simple as we imagined."

Diamante, one of the top cadres of the Don Quixote Family, came close to Doflamingo and said with a serious face.

Doflamingo nodded slightly, and looked gloomily at the reward orders of all members of the Black Pearl Pirates.

Afterwards, he carefully read the information revealed by Marine in the newspaper.

"Rifan attainment in armament haki already so high?"

"And his mysterious devil fruit ability..."

"This guy is indeed not simple."

Doflamingo muttered to himself, and couldn't help thinking about the probability of success in finding Rifan to avenge Virgo.

At this moment, the den-den mushi beside him suddenly sounded.

Doflamingo frowned, raised his hand and picked up the call.

"Young master, I have important information to tell you."

"The Golden Lion Pirates have some kind of virus that can turn people into zombies."

"Now, in the morning, Marine recruits are turning into zombified individuals."

"If possible, I suggest that young master try to find Golden Lion and get that virus."

Opposite the den-den mushi, Virgo said quickly and solemnly.

And quickly told the details about the Black Pearl Pirates led by Rifan, the Marine troops led by Gion, and the Golden Lion Pirates led by Golden Lion Shiki that were not disclosed in the newspaper.

After that, in order not to be monitored by Marine, Virgo immediately hung up the call.

"Is the zombie virus really an interesting thing?"

"Sure enough, we need to find that guy."

"The former legendary pirate, I hope his temper is not too bad, Fufufu."

Doflamingo smiled, and turned his attention to the news about Marine defeating Crocodile in the newspaper.

"Fufufu, what a hypocritical Marine."

"Crocodile was clearly killed by the Black Pearl Pirates."

"Marine actually put all the credit on their own people."

Just as Doflamingo laughed at Marine's actions, another den-den mushi rang.

"Marine's call? Is it because of Crocodile that they are calling at this time?"

Doflamingo frowned, raised his hand and picked up the den-den mushi.

The next moment, the voice of the Marine communications soldier rang across the call."

"Shichibukai Doflamingo, please come to Marine at noon on the 20th to discuss matters concerning Crocodile and the new Shichibukai..."

Hearing this, Doflamingo couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Fufufu, a new Shichibukai, it's really interesting."

"Maybe I can take this opportunity to see those zombies."

... 

New World, Cake Island. 

"Mamama~, Did that guy appeared again?"

"In the first half of the Grand Line, something really interesting happened."

Charlotte Linlin who read the latest newspaper laughed happily.

Among the Big Mom pirates, some of the younger crew members looked a little confused when they saw Big Mom performance.

The same is true for Koharu Momoka, who is one of the reincarnators.

Fortunately, someone raised doubts to Linlin for her.

"Mom, is that Golden Lion an amazing pirate?"

Charlotte Snack, one of the four generals, asked.

"Mamama, that man was an amazing pirate back then."

"It's just that man disappeared in this sea for a long time."

"Even Marine thought he was dead, so they revoked his bounty."

"Once upon a time, he and I belonged to the same pirate group, mamama!"

Charlotte Linlin laugh cheerfully.

Perhaps because of seeing the appearance of old acquaintances, she seems to be more talkative than usual at the moment.

"What? Mom, you were once part of the same pirate group as Golden Lion?!"

Charlotte Snack's eyes widened.

Koharu Momoka looked at Linlin and Snack in shock, she never thought that there is such a relationship between Golden Lion and Big Mom. 

"Not only that, the pirates who are now famous, I, Kaido, and Whitebeard were all members of the same pirate group."

"At that time, Golden Lion was already very powerful, as strong as Whitebeard.

"Compared to Golden Lion and Whitebeard at that time, I was still a little far away."

"That guy Kaido is even more of a rookie pirate."

"However, I didn't think this guy to reappeared, and they said he choose to retreat and escape in the end?"

"Marine must have posted fake news again."

Linlin shook her head, put down the newspaper in hand, and then picked up the reward order for members of the Black Pearl Pirates.

"What! Mom, Whitebeard and Kaido is also from the same pirate group?!"

A few seconds after Linlin's words, the members of the Big Mom pirate group were silent for a while in shock, and then burst into a burst of exclamation.

'Rifan was able to face Golden Lion without incident, and even obtain a reward of 1 billion Baileys?!'

'Doesn't this mean that his strength has reached an exaggerated level?!'

Momoka swallowed, the shock in her heart had reached a rather exaggerated level.

"Mom, Marine may release fake news about the Golden Lion."

"But Marine's reward for Rifan and his party should have some reason."

"That Rifan is now offering a reward of 1 billion Berry, will he really be willing to join our Pirates?"

After being surprised, Charlotte Snack frowned and raised his doubts to Linlin.

"Mamama, none of the people I like can escape my grasp!"

"The stronger that man is, the more attractive he is to me."

"However, if he really has the strength of 1 billion Berry, ordinary women may not be worthy of him."

"Perhaps we can arrange a marriage between him and Smoothie."

"Mamama, I can't wait to meet him!"

Linlin looked at the photo on Rifan's bounty of 1 billion Berry, with one hand of lightning and one hand of darkness, and laughed happily.

Like Linlin, the other Four Emperors fell into a state of astonishment after reading the latest news.

For them, both the appearance of the Golden Lion and the reward order of the Black Pearl Pirates were enough to surprise them.

At this moment, the Four Emperors began to vaguely feel that this sea was about to fall into riots again!

... 

"Zehahaha~, Rifan, you did a good job."

"He actually got a reward of one billion Berry!"

"And still undefeated in the battle with Golden Lion."

"The downfall of Crocodile should also be related to this him."

Blackbeard Teach put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a laugh.

"A reward of 1 billion Berry?! Captain Teach, is that Rifan you're talking about?"

Ethan was wiping the sniper rifle in his hand, when he heard what Blackbeard said, he immediately looked over in surprise.

"Yeah, that guy is really amazing now."

Blackbeard laughed, and handed both the newspaper and the reward order to Ethan.

After Ethan took the newspaper, he quickly read it.

Soon, Ethan's face became extremely gloomy.

Although the content in the newspaper pushed most of the credit for the fight against the Golden Lion to Marine, especially exaggerated the strength of Gion.

Only a small portion of the content shows the power of Rifan and his companions, confirming the true extent of Rifan's gang's new bounty.

However, as long as they are a smart person, they will not ignore the power of Rifan.

If Gion's power is really that strong, how could she not choose to arrest Rifan and his party after the Golden Lion retreated? 

She didn't choose to do this, most likely because of the strength of Rifan and his party, and felt that her success rate of defeating Rifan and his crew was very low.

At this moment, Ethan suddenly thought of William, who had stopped speaking on the interface of the reincarnators exchange group some time ago.

'That guy, did he really fail?'

Ethan thought to himself.

"Let's go, Ethan, everyone, it's time for us to act."

Blackbeard stood up, and said loudly, spreading his hands.

"Captain, are we going somewhere?"

Ethan came back to his senses after hearing Teach's words, and quickly asked.

"Zehahaha, Crocodile is dead."

"There's just one vacant spot for Shichibukai."

"If we give Ace to Marine, they will definitely give me the position of Shichibukai."

"The second division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, the son of Roger the Pirate King, it is impossible for Marine not to want Ace, Zehahaha!"

The corner of Teach mouth raised, he laughed and looked at the bound Ace.

The members of the Blackbeard Pirates also laughed when they heard Blackbeard's laughter.

They all know that once Teach plan is officially launched, what awaits them is an opportunity to become famous! 

Ethan tightly grasped Rifan's reward order, his eyes were firm.

'Rifan, just wait.'

'As long as Teach's plan succeeds,'

'I will undoubtedly surpass you!'

Ethan thought to himself.
