Chapter 157: Sengoku Learned Of Shiki Invasion! 

"W-what did you say!? Son of Roger?!"

Sengoku couldn't resist standing up from his seat.

Even he showed due surprise at this moment.

As for the other Shichibukai, they naturally looked over incredulously.

"Hey, hey, you really dare to say anything."

"Do you have any proof that your statement is correct?"

Doflamingo frowned and asked Lafitte.

"Because our captain has been in the Whitebeard Pirates for decades, he joined the group even earlier than Ace."

"Fire Fist Ace, when he joined the Whitebeard Pirates, there was someone like Whitebeard who confessed about his life experience."

"I think, relying on Marine's intelligence agency, as long as there is a direction, it should be able to find out accurate information."

Looking at the surprised faces of everyone, Lafitte laughed heartily.

"Ace is the son of Roger!?"

Sengoku clenched his fists, thinking about the relationship between Ace and Garp again.

Gradually, the experience, intelligence, information, etc. of searching for the orphan of Roger were recalled in Sengoku's mind.

Soon, Sengoku had the key.

At this moment, he understood that what Lafitte said was probably right.

"Nonsense!"

At this moment, Jinbei couldn't bear it anymore and walked towards Lafitte.

Whether or not Teach caught Ace, he couldn't stand Lafitte's words.

However, as soon as he moved, he felt that his body was affected by an invisible resistance.

Followed by Doflamingo's laughter.

"Fufufu, although The fish men island is favoured by the Whitebeard Pirates."

"But Jinbei, don't forget your identity as Shichibukai."

"It's not a good thing to do it here."

Hearing this, Jinbei looked at Doflamingo with a gloomy face.

Before he could say anything, Moria got up and stood beside Jinbei.

"Kishishi, the captain of Whitebeard's second team, the orphan of Pirate King Roger."

"If that's the case, it might lead to a big battle between Marine and the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"I'm very interested in such a battlefield. Kishishishishi" 

Jinbei looked at Moria and Doflamingo standing on both sides of him, and frowned more and more.

At this moment, Sengoku spoke.

"What you said is just your one-sided words."

"Perhaps, Ace is not the orphan of the Pirate King at all."

"It's true, though, that he's captain of Whitebeard's second team."

"You go back and tell Blackbeard Teach that I will consider his application to become a Shichibukai."

"After a while, I'll give you the answer."

Although Sengoku has almost confirmed the relationship between Ace and Roger.

But in front of many pirate, he still wants to keep this secret.

"Marshal Sengoku speaks, of course it's okay."

"When Marine wants to contact us, please use this den-den mushi to do so."

Lafitte smiled, and after leaving a den-den mushi by the window, he flew into the sky with wings on his back.

Up to now, Lafitte feels that his plan has been successful.

For Marine, it is absolutely impossible not to be tempted by Fire Fist Ace. So he is not worried his captain plan will go awry. 

"Today's conversation, I hope you can all keep it secret."

After Sengoku accepted the den-den mushi left by Lafitte, he was planning to warn these Shichibukai, especially Jinbei.

But suddenly, a panicked Marine soldier opened the door with a den-den mushi in his hand. 

"Marshal Sengoku, there is an emergency call from Sakazuki Admiral!"

Hearing this, Sengoku frowned and turned to look at Tsuru:

"Tsuru, I'll leave it to you here, I'll answer the call."

Sakazuki, who is currently guarding Naval Headquarters in his place.

At this juncture, Sakazuki called urgently, and Sengoku immediately thought of those Marine soldiers who had been turned into zombies.

"This is Sengoku, Sakazuki, what happened on your side?"

After leaving the conference room far enough away, Sengoku immediately connected the call from Akainu.

"Marshal Sengoku, there is a call for help from the Enies Lobby."

"Spandam, the head of Enies Lobby, claims that a large number of zombies human and monsters have invaded Enies Lobby."

"At the moment the Enies Lobby guards are fighting hard."

Opposite the den-den mushi, Akainu said in a muffled voice.

"What, that bastard Shiki attacked Enies Lobby?!"

Sengoku's eyes widened, and this time, his last premonition came true.

Shiki dares to attack the Enies Lobby, and then possibly the Naval Headquarters and the holy Mariejois.

Sengoku was annoyed at the thought that the zombie problem would become even more difficult to solve.

"I've taken it upon myself to send Buster Call's fleet to Enies Lobby."

"The team will be led by Momousagi Gion and Tokikake."

"Judging from the strength of the two of them, and the strength of Shiki mentioned in the report."

"If Shiki showed up at the Enies Lobby, they would be able to arrest or execute Golden Lion Shiki."

Akainu declared.

In fact, he would rather go to the Enies Lobby to deal with Shiki himself.

However, when Sengoku, Tsuru went to Mariejois Port, Kizaru went to Vegapunk, and Aokiji went out to perform missions, he had to choose to stay in Naval Headquarters to guard the marine headquarter.

"You did well, Sakazuki."

"If there is any situation at Enies Lobby, I hope you will contact me in time."

Sengoku hung up the call, feeling a headache in his head.

'Shiki, Fire Fist Ace, and Rifan. "

'Troublesome guys and things appear one after another!'

Sengoku shook his head and heaved a long sigh inwardly.

Originally, he had decided to make Blackbeard a Shichibukai.

But now it seems that things will change again.

On the other side, Sea Train.

"Yo, brother, who are you, are you here to save me?"

"Wait, aren't you the big pirate who have a reward of one billion Berry?!"

When Franky saw Rifan who suddenly appeared in front of him and knocked down those agents guarding him, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Let's put it this way, I heard that you are a boatman with very good skills."

"And also a disciple of the legendary boatman Tom."

"It just so happens that I still need a boatman on my boat, so I want you to work on my boat."

"How about it, do you want to think about it?"

"If you agree, I promise to take you out of cp9's control."

Rifan looked at Franky with interest and said.

Rifan is really curious about the existence of Franky.

With his perverted attire, originally as long as he approached him, the video screen in the live broadcast room would be able to transmit a black screen prompt.

But in fact, when he approached this man, the live broadcast room did not have a black screen.

It was because he intentionally smashed a soldier's coat to pieces while stunned, so the live broadcast room fell into a black screen.

As for why the screen of the live broadcast room is black.

Naturally, Rifan wanted to talk to Franky about some secret pirate history.

"Huh?!" Franky frowned when Rifan mentioned Tom.

But soon, he waved his hand:

"Brother can really joke, I have nothing to do with Tom."

"And I'm just a guy who knows a little bit about how to break a ship."

"Not a boatman who knows how to build a ship."

After Franky's voice fell, the members of the Black Pearl Pirates behind Rifan had smiles on their faces.

They all know that Rifan has a certain ability to know secrets.

As long as he said it, it should be the truth.

And seeing Franky's surprised expression earlier, everyone also understood that Franky was lying.

There is no doubt that he is Tom's pupil.

"If you were just a shipbreaker, I don't think the World Government would catch you."

"They may not know, but I do."

"In your modified human body, there is the blueprint of Ancient Weapon Pluton."

Rifan knelt down and tapped Franky's body with the blueprints with his fingers.

Franky was shocked by Rifan's actions.

Subconsciously want to resist.

But just as he made a move, Rifan pushed him back with brute force.

"Don't worry, I don't care much about the Pluton blueprint you have in hand."

"Even if there are blueprints, it may not be possible to build that huge battleship with the current technology."

"Also, I also know that the original Ancient Weapon Pluton is buried in Wanokuni."

"If I'm really interested in Ancient Weapon, I might as well go directly to Wanokuni to find a ready-made one."

Rifan laughed.

"As expected, Captain Rifan, you know where the Ancient Weapon Pluton is."

"In fact, you also know how to read the text of history right?"

Robin asked with interest.

"Hehe, I just understand a little bit."

Rifan smiled and nodded.

To say before, he naturally dare not say such a thing.

After all, there is always the possibility of being seen through if he pretend to understand when he don't understand.

But now that he has acquired the knowledge of Robin's archaeology, he naturally dares to say such words.

"Ancient Weapon, shall we look for it later?"

Mikita revealed a yearning expression.

"Wanokuni is now the domain of the Beasts Pirates Kaido."

"When we have enough strength and influence, we should consider going there to trouble Kaido."

"Now, I still want to make everyone on the boat think of a shipwright."

"In this way, if there is any problem with our ship."

"There is also a professional person to repair it."

"That being said, you won't have to wait for me to take Pluton's blueprints out of your body, or are you going to admit that you are Tom's disciple?"

Rifan turned around and looked at Franky with a smile on his face.

Franky frowned, his eyes fixed on Rifan's.

After a long time, he sighed deeply and said:

"Rifan, how do you know this?"

"I'm pretty sure I haven't seen you before."

Hearing this, the corners of Rifan's mouth curled up slightly:

"I have my own method, don't worry, I won't hurt you."

"I just want to add a good boatman to my boat."

"Are you just going to be sent to Impel Down by people from the World Government like that? Don't you want to see your relatives and friends again?"

Hearing Rifan's words, Franky fell silent again.

How could he not want to see his little brothers? 

It's just that he doesn't know if entering a dangerous, mysterious pirate like Rifan is both good or bad.

However, after a long time, he finally nodded.

"Okay, as long as you can help me escape."

"I can join you for now."

"But let me say this first, if I think you don't meet my expectation."

"I will also choose to leave."

"But to thank you, I will also build you a ship in return."

Franky spoke up.

After all, he didn't want to be imprisoned in impel down like this.

Of course, what he was more afraid of was that if  he would not agree.

Rifan will directly take out the Pluton blueprint on his body, even though Rifan said that he is not interested in the Pluton blueprint.

[Rifan, you have triggered Franky's invitation mission——help Franky escape the arrest of the World Government!]

[After completing this task, you will be able to officially engrave the tattoo of the pirates for Franky and invite him to be a member of the Black Pearl Pirates. ]

"Don't worry, I believe that after you join, you won't think about leaving, Franky."

Rifan stretched out his right hand and patted Franky's face. After quietly recording his body data with Clone-Clone Fruit, he said with a smile on his face.

Just kidding, according to the experience of Chopper, Nami, and Robin, people like Franky who care about Tom are quite likely to get the final invitation task.

At that time, even if Franky has not experienced the final invitation, just let him know that there is a final invitation.

There was no way Franky would leave his team.

"Captain Rifan, although I don't have intention of interrupting you for inviting a companion, but are sure you want to invite such a pervert? I feel that this guy is not a serious guy."

Carina crossed her arms and looked at Franky with a frown.

"Huh? Pervert?" Franky looked at Carina, "Ma'am, are you complimenting me?"

Hearing this, Carina's brows could not help but wrinkle even tighter.

"Hehe, although he is like that, his boatman skills are quite good."

"Plus, he's not a philanderer like I am."

"Don't worry, he won't spy on you."

After Rifan tore off the chains on Franky with brute force, he stood up and used Clone-Clone Fruit to transform into Franky.
