Chapter 106 The World Government's Plan

Marineford, Marineford, Fleet Admiral’s Office.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku looked grimly at the newspaper.

“Not only did he defeat Crocodile, but he also exposed his conspiracy, indirectly stabilizing an allied nation… but at the same time, he publicly took in Nico Robin, the extremely dangerous ‘devil child’.”

“This is really giving me a headache…”

Sengoku rubbed his temples, thinking that the old man Garp hadn’t returned yet, so he didn’t even have a target to vent his frustration on.

“Call all officers at the rank of Vice Admiral and above in the base for a meeting!”

Sengoku shouted to the messenger outside the door.

Soon, the office was filled with the elite of Marineford.

Kuzan lazily leaned back in his chair.

“Ah la la… what a hassle.”

“Crocodile wasn’t clean himself, so losing is just losing.”

The hawkish Onigumo snorted coldly, tapping his fingers on the table.

“The problem isn’t Crocodile’s defeat, but that this Kaguya openly took in Nico Robin!”

“The remnants of Ohara possess the ability to decipher poneglyphs, which has already crossed the World Government’s bottom line!”

Yamakaji, holding a cigar in his mouth, said thoughtfully.

“According to intelligence, Kaguya’s actions have all been righteous deeds, not those of a vicious criminal.”

Vice Admiral Tsuru gently set down her teacup, her gaze sharp.

“Regardless of his motives, allowing someone who can decipher poneglyphs to roam the seas is always a risk.”

“We need to formulate a meticulous plan.”

While the Marines were discussing how to deal with Kaguya,

Holy Land Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle.

The atmosphere in the room where the Gorosei were gathered was solemn.

“That Crocodile actually secretly took in the ‘devil child’ Nico Robin, and on top of that, he tried to usurp the Alabasta Kingdom, adding to his crimes.”

Saint Pit slammed the table and stood up.

“Crocodile has already been imprisoned by Cobra. Now, the most important thing is to quickly fill the vacancy in the Shichibukai while also dealing with the issue of Nico Robin.”

“That brat from the East Blue named Kaguya defeated Crocodile, didn’t he?”

“Notify him that as long as he hands over Nico Robin, the position of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will be his.”

“This way, we can quickly stabilize the situation, and also keep the dangerous person under government supervision.”

Saint Saturn stroked his long beard as he spoke.

“Will he agree to these terms?”

“Hmph, what choice does a mere rookie have?”

Saint Warcury sneered.

“Either accept the position of Shichibukai, or wait to be hunted down by the Marines with full force.”

“If he’s smart, he’ll know what to choose.”

“Then let’s do it. Notify Sengoku.”

“Have him send someone to make contact with this brat.”

In the Fleet Admiral’s office, the heated discussion among the Marine officers was interrupted by a sudden den den mushi call.

Sengoku answered the call, and the Gorosei’s command plunged the entire office into a brief silence.

“The position of Shichibukai?”

Vice Admiral Tsuru thoughtfully rubbed her chin.

“That’s a plan that kills two birds with one stone.”

“However, that brat probably won’t agree, will he?”

“Whether he agrees or not, this is the World Government’s order. We still need to send someone to make contact with him.”

“Ah la la la~”

“Why don’t I go take a trip?”

Kuzan, who wanted to see Robin, volunteered.

Sengoku pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the officers present, before finally nodding.

“Very well, Kuzan, you go.”

Meanwhile, aboard the dragon soaring ten thousand miles, which was heading toward Drum Island, Kaguya and the others also received the World Economic News Paper’s newspaper.

Nami looked at the suggestive headline in the newspaper and teased.

“Yo~”

“Our Captain is famous again~”

“Fighting a Shichibukai for Robin, how romantic~”

“What nonsense is this newspaper writing now?”

Kaguya, with a dark expression, snatched the newspaper.

Nojiko and the others also gathered around curiously.

After reading the contents of the newspaper, Kaguya helplessly rubbed his temples.

“That birdman Morgans. It was clearly a heroic deed, but he twisted it into a love rivalry.”

“When I meet him, I’ll pluck all his feathers.”

Robin elegantly covered her mouth with a light laugh.

“It seems my presence has caused quite a bit of trouble for the Captain.”

“He brought this on himself.”

“And it fits our Pirate Crew’s name quite well.”

Nojiko chuckled and patted Robin’s shoulder.

Honey Queen lazily leaned on Kaguya’s shoulder, twirling her hair and teasingly brushing it against his chest.

“Master’s bounty is going to increase now, isn’t it~”

“That’s right! Kaguya defeated Crocodile, so his bounty is definitely going to increase.”

“Why isn’t there a new bounty poster in the newspaper?”

Nami carefully flipped through but didn’t see any bounty poster.

“Maybe the Marines haven’t decided on the bounty amount yet.”

Nojiko thought of a possibility.

“Perhaps the Marines won’t increase Kaguya’s bounty.”

“After all, Crocodile tried to usurp Alabasta, and Kaguya defeating him was doing a public service.”

Tashigi said somewhat naively.

After she finished speaking, the women on the deck fell into an eerie silence.

Tashigi noticed the strange looks from Nami and the others and realized her thinking was naive.

After all, Kaguya’s current five million bounty was also “earned” by “doing a public service.”

Tashigi blushed and muttered softly.

“Stop looking at me~”

“I know I was wrong~”

Seeing Tashigi’s embarrassed expression, Kaguya couldn’t help but laugh.

He reached out and ruffled Tashigi’s hair, comforting her.

“Alright, don’t worry about it.”

“We’re already used to the way those Marine guys think.”

Just then, Moomoo let out a warning cry.

Everyone immediately went to the ship’s side to observe the situation.

“Kaguya! Two warships are approaching rapidly from the northeast!”

Nojiko was the first to spot the targets.

“Oh? They’re coming after us so soon?”

Kaguya looked quite surprised in the direction Nojiko pointed.

They saw the two warships approaching the dragon soaring ten thousand miles at an extremely fast speed.

Meanwhile, standing on the deck of one of the warships, Tashina was also observing the distant dragon soaring ten thousand miles through binoculars.

When she clearly saw the pirate flag on the ship, she couldn’t help but frown.

“An unfamiliar pirate flag. Tashina is confused.”

She put down the binoculars and ordered the soldiers beside her.

“Full speed ahead, prepare for battle!”

Tashina’s warship cut through the waves, rapidly closing in on the dragon soaring ten thousand miles.

Her pink hair fluttered in the wind, and her black leather boots made crisp sounds as they stepped on the deck.

Tashina lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and stared sharply ahead.

The Marine soldiers behind her were already in position, their cannons aimed at the dragon soaring ten thousand miles.

“Colonel Hina, that ship doesn’t seem to be trying to escape.”

A deputy reported.

“Hmph, they have some courage.”

Tashina blew out a smoke ring.

“But they’ll regret it soon.”

“Pass the order, prepare for the first round of bombardment!”
