The beginning of the sixteenth year of the era of the pirates.

The Ghost Hand Pirates set sail from the empty island of Bika and quietly returned to Qinghai, although the process of returning was silent, but this time everyone's purpose was no longer to simply survive, but to completely turn the world upside down!

"As soon as we show up, or if we reveal intelligence, we will immediately be targeted by the government, so until then, we need to have all the information and plans in place to avoid improvisation."

The ship sailed slowly on the sea, heading for an island not far from Dressrosa.

With the three arrows of the advanced recording pointer and part of the map of the new world, Rhodes and the others were able to determine their location after returning to Qinghai, which was still the last buffer zone between the two islands of Dressrosa.

Once you're in Dressrosa, it's time for full-scale war!

"We have the advantage of having a three-arrow record pointer, and the government and navy don't know what we're trying to doflamingo, and they can't be sure which island we're going to arrive on next, and we can use that to deal with that."

Luo carried the demon knife, stood next to the table that spread out the chart, and spoke in a deep voice.

Robin showed a thoughtful look and said, "You are right, but we can't ignore the possibility that the government and the navy have guessed our purpose, and Doflamingo, as the core of the dark trading network, will not be indifferent." ”

Lafitte smiled evilly and said, "That Celestial Dragon Man on our ship can attract the attention of the government and the navy, and if it can be designed perfectly enough, it is comparable to a powerful combat force. ”

Rhodes stared at the chart, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said in a deep voice:

"With the level of attention we have now, once we show up, it will definitely attract the attention of the government, the navy, and Doflamingo's intelligence agencies, and as long as a little bit of information about the route is revealed, some people will be able to deduce our purpose."

"So try to be as hidden as possible, at least before the second island, not to be fully exposed, and in addition, if this Celestial Dragon Man wants to come in handy, it must be carefully designed, do you have a plan?"

Rhodes asked at Lafitte.

Lafitte smiled wickedly and said, "I do have a plan." ”

Rhodes nodded, did not ask in detail, but continued: "The purpose of this time is to destroy Doflamingo, but in addition to that, I have to deal a heavy blow to the government!" ”

Speaking of this, a cold glint flashed in Rhodes' eyes.

Robin looked at Rhodes's appearance, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, smiled lightly, and said, "It seems that the captain already has a plan." ”

Rhodes, Robin, Rowe, and Lafitte, all four of whom were calm and capable of planning battles, and after a discussion, all aspects of the government, the navy, and Doflamingo were completely spread out.

Maybe in terms of strategy and IQ alone, the people present are not as good as Vice Admiral Crane, the chief of staff, or maybe not as good as Beckman, the deputy captain of the red-haired pirates, but together, they can take many details into account.

In the detailed arrangement and discussion of the crowd, the first island appeared on the horizon.

"The Giant Clan is too large, it's best not to go to the island, although no one knows that they are our combat force yet, but it is better to cover up as much as possible to avoid any accidents."

"I think so too."

Rhodes nodded, all for the sake of safety.

The Ghost Hand Pirates are not the Straw Hat Pirates, there is no 'Navy King' grandfather, there is no Hades King Reilly as a master, there is no guide redhead, and there is no leader of the revolutionary army, Daddy, it can be said that once they show up, they will be ruthlessly hunted down by the navy and the government.

Soon.

Rhodes, Lafitte and the others landed on the first island, avoiding exposure as much as possible, and purchased ingredients and some items needed on this island.

But even so, the government and navy, coupled with the Don Quixote family, built an intelligence network that is extremely terrifying, even if the few people on the island did not show their figures, hidden under the ability of Rhodes, only the shadow of the black cloak was revealed when purchasing ingredients, and it still became a 'clue' in the government and naval intelligence

Of course.

Because there are so many clues of this kind, and most of them are meaningless false information or coincidences, it was already a few days later when the navy and the government used the elimination method to discover that this clue could not be eliminated through investigation and caught it.

Not long after the Navy received the information, Doflamingo also obtained the information about Rhodes obtained from the Navy through channels.

But.

This is just a piece of information that may be the Ghost Hand Pirates, and it is only on an island, and this alone does not show anything, which makes Doflamingo frown at this.

The second piece of information of the Ghost Hand Pirates finally appeared after ten days, and when this piece of information appeared, and then connected the previous first piece of information, the government and the navy finally got a little valuable information.

Headquarters of the Navy.

In a certain conference room, the lieutenant generals of the headquarters sat on both sides, and one of the lieutenant generals of the headquarters pointed to the nautical chart and said in a deep voice: "On this route, there will be three islands in the future, but it is difficult for us to guess which one they are aiming for......

The others were also moaning, including Dauberman, who was sitting in the corner.

And just when everyone was talking, a smooth and clear voice came, "If you judge by the possibility, the biggest possibility is Dressrosa." ”

In the direction where the voice came from, there was a modestly dressed lieutenant general, and the moment everyone saw her, they all showed a trace of respect.

Lieutenant General and Chief of Staff of the Headquarters, Crane!

"On these three routes, two other than Dressrosa point to the Sea of Nations and the Sea of Hundred Beasts, respectively, unless they want to compete for the status of the Four Emperors now...... Of course, this possibility is not impossible. ”

"The Ghost Hand Pirates once killed the Silver Ape of the Hundred Beast Pirates on Icefield Island, and with Kaido's character, if he appeared on that route, he would probably come to the door."

Tsuru's hair was nearly half gray, but her tone was very calm, and she spoke eloquently, connecting all the information she had obtained little by little, and constructing a clear vein.

The Four Emperors are mentioned, the characteristics of the Ghost Hand Pirates are mentioned, the character of Rhodes is mentioned, and Trafalgarro is mentioned.

At last.

Crane picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, moistened his somewhat dry throat a little, and added: "At present, there is too little effective information, and only so much can be analyzed, and the probability is about half." ”

There is a half or so probability that it will go to Dressrosa, and the other half is a route to the realm of the two Four Emperors.

This possibility is a somewhat tangled number, to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates, it is necessary to dispatch a large general, and for half the possibility, should it be so aggressive?

None of those present have the right to decide.

"Half the chance ......"

Marshal Sengoku sat on the main seat, showing a touch of contemplation, now the red dog and the pheasant are not in the headquarters, only the yellow ape is there, and in order to deal with various things, the headquarters must retain at least one general.

If the yellow ape is dispatched, if there is any emergency, it will be difficult to deal with it due to manpower problems, and Karp will be expected to take care of things or something...... He also wanted to be a naval marshal for a few more years.
