Rhodes' appearance in the Chambord Islands still caused a shock in the Navy headquarters, which shocked the entire navy, and it was unclear what Rhodes's intentions were.

Could it be that Rhodes is going to meddle in their war with Whitebeard?!

To Rhodes, Whitebeard is an enemy, but comparatively speaking, the navy is a little more hostile and much stronger than the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Report to the marshal."

A major general from the headquarters hurriedly walked into the top office and reported to Marshal Sengoku: "The captain of the first team of the Ghost Hand Pirates has now returned to Wanguo, and the captain of the second team, Yuno Kiru, is still in the territory of the Hundred Beast Pirates. ”

Hearing this major general's report, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that the Ghost Hand Pirates have just destroyed the Hundred Beast Pirates, and it is a troublesome matter to take over its territory, and it should not be possible to free up troops to meddle in the upcoming war in a short period of time.

"What about the other captains?"

Qingzhi sat on the sofa next to him and asked in a low voice.

The major general reported in a deep voice: "The captain of the Sixth Team is missing, and the rest of the captains have all found traces in Wano Country. ”

Sengoku pondered for a moment and said, "Don't be careless, let people continue to keep an eye on the movements of the Ghost Hand Pirates and report to me at any time." ”

"Yes!"

The major general answered and exited the office.

After he left, Qing Zhi raised his head slightly and said, "Since the forces of the Ghost Hand are all on the side of the Wano Country, then we can also rest assured a little, only the Ghost Hand appears here alone, and it can still deal with it." ”

Sengoku also nodded.

As long as the Ghost Hand Pirates are not dispatched by the whole army, just one Rhodes, their naval headquarters is still not afraid, and at most two top combat forces can be divided to suppress Rhodes, and the remaining combat power is still enough to deal with Whitebeard.

In fact, to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, there is no need for a large build-up of forces from the Navy Headquarters, and the reason for the large-scale build-up is to make complete plans on the one hand, and to prepare for other possible situations on the other hand!

Alternate Generals Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin, as well as Zefa, who leads the troops, will not appear on the frontal battlefield unless the Red-Haired Pirates also appear and attack the navy.

With the three major generals and the Seven Martial Seas on the front alone, it is enough to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.

……

Chambord Islands.

Somewhere in a tavern, Rhodes was sitting face to face with Reilly.

It is not known whether the Straw Hats will get the news of Ace's execution in the future, and then participate in the top war, and Rhodes is not very interested, it doesn't matter if they go or not.

After chatting with Reilly for a few words, he felt that he could have a good conversation, so he followed Reilly to this bar and drank and chatted.

"Mr. Reilly......"

Just as Rhodes and Reilly were chatting about the New World, a voice came over, and Kemi, the mermaid with short emerald green hair, walked in from outside.

She has been hiding here since the accident.

"You're Kemi."

Rhodes took a sip and glanced sideways at Kemi.

Kemi noticed Rhodes, and was also slightly stunned, and then showed an unexpected look, and said in surprise: "You are...... Lord Rhodes?! ”

As a mermaid on Fish-Man Island, of course, she still knows very well whose territory Fish-Man Island is, and no one has dared to offend Fish-Man Island over the years.

Even.

Rhodes's attitude towards Fish-Man Island is far more than Whitebeard's, not to mention the things on the island, even if a mermaid is caught by a slave trader, the Ghost Hand Pirates will take action for it.

After several times in a row, no slave trade organization dared to touch the mermaids, and today it was only a few slave traders who found Kemi on land, and they were ruthless in their hearts, and they planned to run away with one vote, so there was a follow-up.

"Well, you know me?"

Rhodes looked at Kemi and smiled faintly, "I should rarely go to Fish-Man Island." ”

It's strange if you don't know each other.

Kemi muttered in her heart, even if she is a bit of a stupid mermaid, it is impossible to know nothing about a character like Rhodes, not to mention that Rhodes is still the protector of Fish-Man Island.

"You also have a part in saving Kemi today."

Rhodes saw that Kemi was a little restrained, so he looked at Reilly in front of him and smiled.

Reilly laughed and said, "Kemi and I have known each other for a long time, and I originally planned to pretend to be a slave and blackmail the buyer, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and it was natural to save her." ”

Rhodes nodded, and after a glass with Reilly, he said to Kemi who was standing there: "Sit, don't be so restrained, by the way, how is Jinping now." ”

This sentence was also asked casually.

Jinping has never given up his position as the king of the Seven Martial Seas, on the one hand, he has contacted the government, on the other hand, he has assisted Whitebeard everywhere, and on the other hand, as a powerful faction that protects Fish-Man Island, he is also connected with the Ghost Hand Pirates.

But.

When the war is about to come, it is simply impossible to step on three boats, and the world government can turn a blind eye to it before, but now it will definitely not approve of it.

"Jinping opposes the government's war against Whitebeard."

Reilly took over the topic that Kemi didn't know much about, and said: "There are many islands sheltered by Whitebeard, no matter who wins or loses this battle, the sea will not be calm, Jinping wants to prevent the war, but he is locked up by the world government, so he should be in the city." ”

This result did not come as a surprise to Rhodes.

But.

World chaos is a matter of time, even if Whitebeard does not fall into the top war, he is already seventy-two years old, how can he sit in the position of the Four Emperors for long.

Rhodes is only thirty-one years old now, and he still has a long way to go before he ages, but Whitebeard has really touched the limits of flesh and blood.

One could even say.

It was the war on the top that brought out the last afterglow of Whitebeard, so that Whitebeard would not die on the bed due to injuries and illnesses.

If it hadn't been for the war, with Whitebeard's deteriorating body, maybe within two or three years, he would have collapsed and couldn't get up.

"What are you going to do if Whitebeard loses."

Reilly asked as he stared at the bottle, his thoughts drifting through the air, as if talking to himself.

Rhodes said calmly: "I'll take over his territory." ”

As soon as Whitebeard died, all the islands protected by Whitebeard were attacked by pirates and dark forces from all walks of life, but this time, Rhodes had already made several teams under his command ready to take over all the territory if Whitebeard died in battle.

"Then the sea is yours."

Reilly opened his mouth a little distractedly, although he and Roger, although they also swept the sea, overpowering Whitebeard and the Golden Lion, but they couldn't defeat Whitebeard and the Golden Lion.

It can be defeated, but it can't be destroyed.

And now Rhodes is already the strongest figure on this sea, and the Ghost Hand Pirates are already the strongest pirate force, not one of them.

Even if Whitebeard and Redhead join forces, they may not be able to resist Rhodes' future offensive, not to mention that Whitebeard will fight on top of him, and most of them will have to end his life, and the only remaining red-haired pirates will be even more unlikely to stop Rhodes.

Do whatever you want, do whatever you want.

This is the nations to come.

Rhodes shook his head slightly, and said in a leisurely tone: "I can't talk about it, isn't there a big mountain in front of me that has not been climbed for eight hundred years?" ”

"World government?"

Reilly smiled faintly and said, "They won't be in that position for long, O'Hara's matter is in a hurry, but the answer will be revealed one day." ”

"It's a pity that I'm not interested in history, I'm only interested in creating the future."

Rhodes took a calm sip of his wine.

Reilly was stunned for a moment, then laughed, did not speak, and began to drink.
