Chapter 178: The Seven Martial Seas of this Era

"Warship No. 346 has arrived, please instruct!"

"Have them dock at Pier 6 of 'Navy Headquarters'—"

As the warship slowly turned, it headed for the Navy's largest military base, known as Marinfando.

On the deck, the young man with a big back combed, a long scar on his face, an earring in his right ear, a cigar in his mouth, and a broken wrist in his left hand, replaced by a golden hook, frowned.

He wore a dark green fur coat, an orange plaid long-sleeved shirt, and black trousers. It looks like an underworld, mafia parent.

"Isn't it going to the Holy Land 'Mary Joa'?"

"Look down on me—"

Faced with the young man's cold question, the naval officer next to him replied in a cold sweat.

"This is Marshal Kong's order, so that you 'Seven Martial Seas' can familiarize yourself with the environment in advance..."

hum

The young man snorted with an unhappy snort, although it had only been half a year since he had just become the 'Seven Martial Seas', but he knew very well that he had done his homework: it was the World Government that convened the 'Seven Martial Seas', so he should go to the Holy Land Mary Joy!

But right now, the warship is heading directly to the naval headquarters...

In an instant, countless thoughts passed through the young man's mind! From the emptiness of the navy... By taking the opportunity to eradicate the Seven Martial Seas, all kinds of conspiracies and tricks made his face more and more gloomy, and the naval officer next to him was already sweating like rain.

Faced with a ferocious pirate who can suck himself dry with just a wave of his hand, any normal navy will feel nervous.

"Lieutenant Colonel Enro, leave it to me here."

"Yes, Major General Kuzan."

Hearing the voice behind him, the naval cadet, who was originally a stiff brac, gave a military salute to the visitor, and quickly moved away from the terrifying young man next to him who was full of murderous aura and had a golden hook in his left hand.

"Shah Klokdal,"

A young man wearing a cyan coat with the Navy logo on it walked up to Crockdahl in a cyan hat with the Navy logo on it, and a young man wearing a blue coat with the Navy logo on it walked up to Crockdahl.

"Gather your breath, there are no enemies of yours here."

"Gohaha, don't worry, I've changed my mind, and I'm a 'hero' on the side of the Navy-"

A year ago, the high-spirited Crockdahl challenged the legendary pirate 'Whitebeard' and lost his left hand, and in the face of the 'olive branch' extended by the world government, he agreed without much thought.

Klockdahl then settled in the kingdom of 'Alabastan' and buried the countless pirates on that route. Labeled a 'hero' by the newspapers, ordinary civilians and even the Navy believed that he had 'reformed his ways'.

And in the eyes of the pirates, Crockdahl, who was beaten by 'Whitebeard', has become a lackey of the navy!

It is also easy to understand that the Kingdom of Alabastan has a vast desert environment, and Krokdal is a natural powerhouse who eats the 'sand fruit', can freely manipulate the sand, and can sand the body.

One step closer proves that he has lost the courage to enter the new world!

However, in fact, Crockdahl's ambition was not extinguished, and he set his sights on the legendary three major weapons, the 'Hades'.

He plans to obtain the whereabouts of the 'Hades' from the Alabastan royal family.

Prepare to rely on that legendary weapon to challenge the new world and Whitebeard again!

And in order to do all this, it is necessary to approach the goal carefully, carefully, and quietly: the title of a hero is the best disguise.

"However, this time, the convening place of the 'Seven Martial Seas' has become the naval headquarters Marin Fando, which makes people a little concerned..."

Faced with Crockdahl's meaningful words, Rear Admiral Kuzan frowned, and for the sake of the other party's help to reduce a lot of burden on the navy, he decided to reveal a little 'insider' information.

"Among the Seven Martial Seas that were convened this time, some people didn't like the environment of the 'Holy Land', so they changed the meeting place to the Navy Headquarters. - And most of the battlefield is at the Navy headquarters, and I don't know when the enemy will appear..."

"Understood,"

Crockdahl nodded, thoughts racing through his mind.

Seven Martial Seas··· Three of the members have been around for more than five years and naturally don't just become disgusted with the Holy Land now, and two of the most recently added members are: apart from themselves, the rest are:

Don Quixote Doflamingo!

Hehe, that newcomer and his brother killed the 'former Seven Martial Seas' Gamenio a year ago, and recently had the audacity to hijack Heavenly Gold and force the world government to grant the title of 'Seven Martial Seas', it seems that he is also an ambitious guy...

In Crockdahl's mind, an arrogant and evil man with a bold heart has been sketched!

————

Navy Headquarters,

It is an island called Marinfando.

The entire island is a huge fortress, surrounded by steel barriers several meters thick, and the forts on the island are densely packed. The triple cannon is pointed diagonally at the sky, intimidating all incoming enemies!

And in the cities of the islands, a large number of naval dependents lived.

But now the personnel have been evacuated, and only an 'empty city' remains.

Normally, this is naturally the second safest place in the world, but in the face of a possible surprise attack by a strong person, even a headquarters with a marshal and a general is not safe.

Once the top powerhouse fights, the landslide and the ground crack are not idle! The aftermath is enough to kill ordinary people dozens of times in seconds, and the admirals are certainly strong, but their relatives cannot be equally powerful.

The wife and children of Admiral Zefa, the 'black wrist', were killed by pirates a few years ago, and they were disheartened and turned their efforts to train a new generation of navy.

By the way, the first safe place?

The Holy Land of Mary Joya, of course!

"Let's go, Torrebol."

As Crockdahl pondered as he surveyed the massive steel fortress, the warship at his feet slowly entered the harbor lined with batteries, and a figure on the dock caught his attention.

It was a man about the height of Crockdahl himself, dressed in a black feather coat. He was casually talking to a few navy officers.

Behind him, followed a sloppy and obese young man, who was more than three meters tall, listless, like a prisoner.

At this moment, the other party seemed to notice Crockdahl's gaze and turned his head.

It's him—

How could Crockdahl, who is a 'conspirator', not recognize this face:

Don Quixote Rosindi!

The new Nanatsukai, Doflamingo's brother.

The handsome young man glanced back at Crockdahl, nodded goodbye to the Navy next to him, and then walked towards the Navy headquarters with the man behind him wearing a bowler hat and holding a cane.

This made Crockdahl squint his eyes, took off the cigar in his mouth and shook it.

Rumors that this man is close to the Navy do not seem like groundless.

You must know that this is the headquarters of the Navy, and in the face of the crushing level of combat power, even Crockdahl, who is the 'Seven Martial Seas', is not as calm as it looks on the outside.

That 'Roxinandi' looked like he was going home with ease, which made the 'Sand Crocodile' unpredictable.

Is it the art master who is bold?

Or is there some invisible person to trade with the Navy?

————

If Rosie knew about Crockdahl's inner workings, he would have complained 'you think too much'.

Maybe others will have an instinctive fear of the Navy Headquarters, but Rosie, who is familiar with the character of the Navy's top brass, is not panicked at all!

What's more, unlike the other 'Seven Martial Seas', although Rosie doesn't care about his identity as a 'Celestial Dragon', the Navy will not ignore it. Either way, it's a talisman.

Unless the Five Elders could accept the price of Dover shaking out 'that' secret, it would not be possible to disadvantage Rosie.

"Here, Mr. Rosinandi."

Led by the naval officer, Rossi led the listless Torrebol into a tall building with the word "Navy" in front of a large hall.

"Mr. Torrebol, this is the meeting room of the adults of the 'Seven Martial Seas'. Please come here and rest..."

"Torre,"

Rossi turned his head and gave a look, and Torrebol nodded in understanding before following the naval officer next to him and leaving.

"This is the meeting room of the 'Seven Martial Seas',"

When Rosie raised her legs and buried herself in the hall, a cold voice rang out from inside:

"Why would an unrelated imp step in, has the Navy fallen to such a point?"

In the hall, there were already two people seated.

The one who spoke was a man reclining in a seat, of normal height. With long gray-white hair, handsome and three-dimensional facial features, bright red eyes and pale skin, he wears a black aristocratic costume and wears white gloves on his hands.

From the outside, compared to the identity of a pirate, he is more like a deep-minded nobleman!

"Mr. Accardo 'Piercing Male,"

For this veteran 'Seven Martial Seas', Rossi, as the 'staff officer' of the Don Quixote family, naturally knows: In addition to those 'familiar' faces in the previous life, there are many strong people on the sea.

For example, the one in front of you:

Animal, Bat Fruit, Phantom Beast, Vampire Form

That's right, it's the Devil Fruit that the unwilling old Red Earl ate more than twenty years later.

"I'm sorry, my brother Dover can't come because of something, so I'll take his place in the 'Seven Martial Seas' meeting. You-"

Step by step, Rossi lifted his chin to the pale, dark nobleman.

"Any comments?"

···

"Oh, young man—"

I didn't see any movement from this man named Accardo, and the moment Rossi's footsteps fell, the dark red carpet under his feet suddenly came to life!

The floor of the entire hall near the doorway swelled up, and the carpet turned into crimson spiral spikes! The huge pillars with a dull metallic hue drowned out Rossi's figure.

Puff, puff, puff!

The huge dark red spike pillar instantly filled the entrance of the hall, the ceiling, the door... Pierced into ruins by a large number of massive spikes that struck suddenly.

"'Mr. Piercing', although I don't mind a fight with you, but considering the feelings of the owner here..."

I don't know when Rosie who flashed to the side spread his hands,

"Stop!"

A serious sound rang out outside the door, followed by a crackling crackling sound, and the pink spiral spikes that were far harder than steel exploded.

A very strong old man with a broad chest, tawny skin, and white hair and beard in the shape of a "mountain" strode in.

The 'blood thorns' on the sea, which terrified countless people, were as fragile as paper in front of this old man, and he didn't need any 'attack' at all, just walking through the blood pillar blocking the door.

"You're here for a meeting, not for a fight!"

The old man, dressed in a dark gray marshal's coat and a sleeveless black shirt decorated with medals, exposed the thick muscles of his arms and a yellow scarf around his neck, looked around the world, his domineering gaze like a mountain crushing him.

"Since he is so energetic, when the enemy comes, if I see who is standing by, let him go and get close to Karp!"

··· hiss

Actually put Karp,

You admiral don't talk about martial virtues!

"Marshal Kong, what happened here has nothing to do with me."

In the hall, there was another man with a naked upper body, more than five meters tall, like a muscular golem, and his hair was full of messy hair, and he slowly spoke.

"Of course, if Karp is willing to be a guest on my ship, I welcome it."

The man's attire was shabby even by the standards of a 'pirate': a leather skirt, straw sandals, and a golden belt tied around his forehead, he looked like a barbarian from some primitive tribe.

'Elbaf's Hound' Taran

He is a half-giant, a hybrid of a giant and a human.

I don't know where his father got the courage to marry a 20-meter giant 'beauty', in short, Taran's childhood can be said to be very good... Very unsatisfactory.

After all, get along with those 'normal' giant children who start at 4 or 5 meters tall, but Taran, who is less than 2 meters tall, will naturally be bullied by the 'children'.

Even as an adult, Taran is only 5 meters.

And the general height of the giant clan is 20 meters when they become adults!

In the eyes of the giants, this is no longer a dwarf, it is simply not a 'giant'.

But Taran was not discouraged by this, and with his mother's encouragement, he trained and fought day after day. Soon: the power of the giants and the skill of humans were developed in him at the same time, and countless giant warriors fell under his axe.

Dissatisfied, Taran left Elbaf, the land of giants, and began to roam the sea.

According to the custom of giants, it is only natural for the weak to give everything to the strong! So his act of 'taking' food at will soon soared with his bounty.

After finally being defeated by the iron fist of a certain guy, he accepted the invitation to become the 'Seven Martial Seas'.

With the contact with the other people on the sea, this half-giant is no longer a reckless man who draws an axe at the slightest disagreement.

"Goha, it's really lively."

Just when the atmosphere was solemn, an arrogant laugh rang out.

Immediately afterward, wearing a dark green fur coat and a cigar in his mouth, Crockdahl walked in through the hole that the air marshal had knocked out.

"Am I in the wrong place with this tense atmosphere?"

···

"Alright, the people have arrived."

Covered in muscles and unable to see a trace of old age at all, Marshal Empty walked to the round table in the center of the hall, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Let's start the meeting!"

"There should be one more..."

"That guy was unlucky and met the 'Red Earl'."

Hearing Marshal Kong's answer, he sneered, and the noncommittal Crockdahl casually found a place, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Although it has the name of 'Seven Martial Seas', in this chaotic era, a large number of legendary pirates are still active, and the position of the Seven Martial Seas has never been full.

The people present were the 'Seven Martial Seas' of this era, and they were:

'Piercing Male' Accardo

'Elbaf's Hound' Taran

'Sand crocodile' Crockdahl

and Rocondi, Rocondi, who came to the meeting in place of Dover.
