Chapter 169 Big News Era!

Chapter 169 Big News Era!
At the mention of pure gold, the Five Elders fell silent. None of them had the selfless character.

Especially since they have worked so hard to gain their current position of power, it is no exaggeration to say that they are second only to one person and above everyone else.

Before Lord Yim woke up, everything in the world was at their disposal. What the Five Elders wanted most was naturally for all this to continue forever.

After all, they know of the best precedent of Lord Im, the supreme king who has dominated the world for eight hundred years behind the scenes. The Five Elders also want to follow in Im's footsteps and continue the power they have now.

"The army of the gods will be ready to go, but we still need to urge Borsalino to go out as soon as possible to defeat that lunatic!"

In the end, it was Nasujuro who broke the silence first. On the surface, Nasujuro severely reprimanded Borsalino for his "willfulness", but in his heart he was more or less gloating.

Although the existence of the God's Army cannot be replaced by the Navy in any way, due to the Navy's excessive strength, the Army under the World Government has been suppressed to an almost humble level.

Over the years, the increased military expenditure of the navy was almost all taken out of the army. The navy has a marshal and three admirals, while the army does not even have its own marshal, but is directly governed by the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.

There was only one army general, and such an army was obviously not enough to balance the increasingly large navy.

In the past, the Five Elder Stars have made a lot of efforts to change the status quo, including sending Cyborg Sora, who was supposed to be from an army family, to Marinford to serve as the Navy Marshal.

As a result, Cyborg Sora fell to the point of being defeated by pirates as a naval admiral, which was a historical first. In the end, he could only be "promoted" to the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces in a less honorable manner.

Of course, this was due to Marshal Kong's bad luck in running into the peak Red Earl, but to say that there was no one secretly doing something behind the scenes is simply an insult to the intelligence of the Five Elders.

As a result, the Five Elders began to be more wary of the navy that had become powerful, and the navy, which was targeted in various ways, became more and more disobedient. Finally, there emerged a navy marshal named Borsalino who specifically opposed the Five Elders.

At this point, the Five Elders had completely given up hope and simply took advantage of Borsalino's trouble to find ways to strengthen the army as much as possible.

"Even if we have the God's Army as insurance, no matter whether that lunatic is related to Rocks or not, anyone who dares to challenge the World Government must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

Saint Maz nodded and said, if it wasn't for the possibility of being related to the D clan and Rocks, even if the two major pirate groups joined forces, it would not be worth their time.

"I will urge Borsalino to act quickly."

Saint Vochuli also took the initiative to promise that, in fact, the Five Elders' greatest hope was to completely subdue Borsalino.

After all, without the support of the navy, the power of the world government will be greatly affected, and the navy is too powerful to be eliminated.

However, now the Five Elders and the World Government need Borsalino's help, so let alone falling out with him, they even have to coax him into doing his job.

While the Five Elders were discussing whether Boros was from the D clan, Borsalino, who got the hint from Marshal Kong, thought for a long time but still couldn't keep up with the Five Elders' train of thought.

After all, Rocks lived decades ago. Even though Borsalino was an eyewitness at that time, Borsalino, who did not have PTSD from the D-Clan, did not think that the Rocks Pirates were that powerful.

In addition, Borsalino knew Boros's origin clearly, so he naturally would not imagine Boros as the descendant of Rocks like the Five Elders.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't guess the reason. I could only barely understand that Boros's act of declaring war on the World Government made the Five Elders regard him as a dangerous person like Rocks.

Fortunately, Borsalino has a very good advantage, which is that he does not dig deep into the problems he cannot figure out, because he has a direct way to solve the problem.

"Moses, this is Borsalino..."

Borsalino took out the dedicated Den Den Mushi again and called Boros who was still in Wanguo.

Den Den Mushi tried to imitate Boros' features, but it had two eyes, so it had no choice but to pose with one eye open and one closed.

"what's up?"

Boros, who received the call, asked directly.

If it were Borsalino, he would definitely take the opportunity to take credit and ask for a salary increase.

But Boros looked as if it was a matter of course, and had no idea how much work he had done.

"We can start taking action in advance. Remember the people on the list who cannot be moved, and those who must be beaten to death." Borsalino did not mean to beat around the bush. Instead of wasting time greeting Boros, he might as well go back and beat him up to satisfy Boros's desire to fight.

After hearing what Borsalino said, Boros' eyes suddenly lit up.

He was more or less tired of always "bullying" the two top fighters, and now he could finally find a new opponent.

Although Boros doesn't think that he can find an opponent other than Borsalino on this planet, it is at least a planet that can give birth to a strong man like Borsalino. Maybe he can encounter someone stronger than Kaido and Charlotte Linlin.

"I see!"

Boros answered without hesitation.

After Borsalino hung up the phone, Boros's orders were quickly given to the Beasts and Big Mom Pirates.

The content of the command was quite simple, but it was enough to shock countless people.

Boros, who didn't take the World Government seriously at all, directly ordered the large fleet to set sail and head towards Marijoa.

The entire Ten Thousand Nations was shaken by Boros's order. Even the spies from various forces lurking in the Ten Thousand Nations could not help but doubt whether the information they obtained was true.

Just as Boros was preparing to send troops to attack Mary Geoise, Morgans, who had already returned to the World Economic News, immediately published the big news he had compiled overnight on the front page of the newspaper.

In order to prevent interference from the World Government, Morgans did not hesitate to close the newspaper office and work overtime to print. Only after all the newspapers were printed and sent to all parts of the world by news birds did Morgans, who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, laugh out loud.

"Look! I have published all the big news! This era needs more and more big news! Let the big news come more fiercely!"

Morgans stood on the balcony of the newspaper office and shouted excitedly, and above it were countless news birds flying with their wings spread, delivering newspapers to all parts of the world.

"Shock! The two great pirate groups join hands to declare war on the World Government!"

"The New Era Pirate King Who Stands Above the Pirate Emperor!"

The most evil pirate in history!

……

As a giant in the underworld, Morgans has more than just one copy of the World Economic News.

In order to ensure that more people can see the big news as soon as possible, Morgans removed the original front-page headlines of all his newspapers at once and replaced them with Boros and his Space Dark Matter Pirates.

So, within less than half a day after the Five Elders lost their rage, everyone in the world, wherever the Newsbird could reach, saw the latest newspaper without exception.

"Could it be that another Pirate King is about to be born?!"

"He actually defeated two Pirate Emperors! Even a monster like Kaido the Beast lost?"

"Whitebeard just died, and now Boros appears! These damn pirates are simply endless!"

……

To people in the New World and even outside the Grand Line, the Pirate Emperor is more of a code name, representing some particularly terrifying and powerful pirates.

Therefore, even after seeing Boros defeating two pirate emperors, he only felt that the sea became more uneasy.

However, for those in the New World who were almost living in misery under the oppression of the Pirate Emperor, Boros, who had defeated two Pirate Emperors successively, was already an indescribable thing that could stop a child from crying at night.

No one doubts that Boros, who has conquered the two major pirate groups, will fail on the road to becoming the Pirate King. The only question is how long it will take Boros to become the real Pirate King.

As for declaring war on the World Government, most people think that this should happen after becoming the Pirate King.

An unknown sea area in the New World.

"Ah... I was originally worried that the situation in the New World would get out of control after Whitebeard's death, but I didn't expect that a space dark matter pirate group would pop up..."

Red-haired Shanks, with bandages still wrapped around his body, sat on the railing of the Red Force and handed a newspaper he had read to the deputy captain Ben Beckman beside him.

It is worth mentioning that after experiencing the Battle of Marineford, Ben Beckman has now become the "Condor Hero" who lost an arm, just like Shanks.

Fortunately, compared to Shanks who fights with a sword, Ben Beckman's main fighting method is guns, so losing his right arm will not make him a disabled person.

The only difference is that he is at a disadvantage in close combat. Compared to his peak period when he could deal with top-level masters, he now only has 60% to 70% of his strength at most.

"Having defeated Kaido and Big Mom, will we be his next target?"

Ben Beckman frowned and said that no matter how much confidence he had in Shanks and his companions on the ship, he did not think that the Red Hair Pirates, with their current state of remnants, would be a match for Boros, who had already conquered the two major pirate groups.

"Hahaha, don't say such scary things, but if that Boros comes to our door, we probably will have no choice but to fight him. I don't want to be partners with Kaido and Big Mom."

Shanks laughed and patted Ben Beckman on the shoulder. Even though he was about to face a behemoth like the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, Shanks still had no fear and had no intention of surrendering.

"You may say nice things, but maybe people won't even think highly of you... cough cough cough cough!"

Seeing Shanks laughing heartily, Jesus Bu next to him also teased with a funny look on his face.

But before he could finish his words, Jesus Bu, who was seriously injured in the war, started to cough violently. As the top sniper in the sea, with Jesus Bu's strength, he could fight as long as he didn't meet a top strong man.

However, his opponent at that time was Borsalino who had become serious. Even Ben Beckman lost an arm in front of Borsalino, and Laki Lu and Gabu were killed on the spot.

By this calculation, Jesus, who was seriously injured by Borsalino's kick, was actually lucky.

"That's too much. After all, I'm the Pirate Emperor. How could you look down on me?"

Shanks, who was criticized by his friends, suddenly burst out with a strange competitive spirit. Although he would definitely fight to the death if he really met Boros, Shanks was also very dissatisfied when Jesus Bu said that Boros looked down on him.

"Hahaha! I think what Jesus said makes a lot of sense..."

"It's been such a long time since he came to see the captain. Could it be that he really doesn't like him?"

"The Captain is such a loser~"

……

The pirates of the Red Hair Pirates also laughed and mocked Shanks together. 'Besieging' the captain is a classic activity of the Red Hair Pirates.

But compared with the laughter and joy of the past, the laughter now is obviously much less frequent, and many familiar faces have disappeared, remaining in Marinford forever.

Also in the New World, on an uninhabited desert island, the three brothers Sabo, Ace and Luffy, who had reunited after a long separation, finally had to separate.

After confirming that his two younger brothers were safe, Sabo prepared to go back to Dragon and continue to serve as the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army.

Ace became the second captain of the Whitebeard Pirates under Marco's persuasion. Of course, in Ace's mind, the Whitebeard Pirates will always have only his father as captain.

As for Luffy, he will continue to pursue his dream of becoming the Pirate King, but before that he will follow Rayleigh to practice the three-color domineering.

"Even Kaido and Big Mom have become his subordinates..."

Ace rubbed his forehead. These things had nothing to do with him in the past. Under the protection of his father, the Whitebeard Pirates had always been the freest on the sea.

But now Ace has been elected as the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates by everyone, and he has to take care of all matters that may involve the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although they have not dealt with the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates yet, Boros has already conquered the two major pirate groups. It is hard to imagine that he would let go of the severely damaged Whitebeard Pirates.

"I'm afraid we have to be mentally prepared for war. According to the intelligence sent by the informants in the underground world, the underground world's arms have been basically swept away in the past few days, and there have been many huge orders for weapons and gunpowder..."

Marco looked at Ace helplessly. It was an important day to say goodbye to his brother, but he suddenly received such bad news.

If his father was still alive, it would not be Ace's turn to worry about it, but now that Ace is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, he must stand up and protect everyone from the wind and rain.

"Did Dad also protect us under such pressure before?"

Ace clenched his fists, took a deep breath and looked at the only Moby Dick left, but he could not see the majestic figure of the past.

"Don't worry, we will help you too."

Marco wanted to comfort Ace but didn't know what to say, so he could only pat Ace's shoulder.

The gap in strength between Ace and Whitebeard is too huge. The same situation is just a trouble for Whitebeard, but a fatal threat to Ace.

In this situation, if Ace wants to protect the Whitebeard Pirates, the effort and cost he needs to pay is destined to be much greater than Whitebeard's.

If he had known that the situation the Whitebeard Pirates would face next would be so dire, given Marco's personality, he would most likely choose to put pressure on Ace a little longer and would not have placed the heavy burden on Ace's shoulders so quickly.

However, it is precisely because they are facing such a tricky situation next that as long as Ace can lead the Whitebeard Pirates through it, he will gain the unanimous support of everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates.

"I will protect the Whitebeard Pirates, and I will avenge my father sooner or later!"

Ace spoke to Marco very seriously, as if he was cheering himself up.

Until now he could not forget the scene where his father died at the hands of Borsalino in order to save him.

"...We will always stand by you!"

Marco was silent for a moment, wanting to persuade Ace but unable to say anything.

He also wanted to avenge his father, but compared to Borsalino, Ace was still too immature. Even if the Whitebeard Pirates came out in full force, it would be almost impossible to defeat Borsalino.

What's more, Marco still remembered his father's evaluation of Borsalino when he was alive. That guy was the only admiral that his father didn't want to be an enemy of.

At that time, Marco was still somewhat unconvinced, thinking that his father had misjudged and overestimated Borsalino.

But now it seems that Dad has a good eye and can easily see through Borsalino's hidden strength.

"Ace! Where are you?"

Before Ace could speak, Luffy's shout came from the direction of the bonfire in the distance.

Before the three brothers officially parted, they naturally had to follow the pirate tradition and have a grand bonfire party to celebrate.

"Oh! We'll be right over!"

Before Ace could react, Marco answered loudly.

"Hey?"

Ace was pushed by Marco towards the bonfire with a confused look on his face. Before he could recover from the atmosphere just now, he was pushed to the center of the banquet by Marco.

"Think about those troubles later. Don't forget that we are your brothers. Now just enjoy the party!"

Marco laughed and joined the booing crowd. Ace, who looked stunned, was forcibly pulled over by Luffy, and the three brothers started a weird dance of sticking chopsticks into their noses.

If any members of the revolutionary army were here, they would definitely be stunned. Is that person dancing such an extremely shameful dance really their chief of staff?
As the saying goes, when one family is happy, the other is sad. While the three Luffy brothers of the Whitebeard Pirates were enjoying the joy of their farewell party, Doflamingo, the Yasha who was entrenched in Dressrosa, was caught in an unprecedented crisis.

"How many times do I need to tell you? You're asking for too much! Even if you clear out my place, I can't produce the weapons and ammunition you want out of thin air!"

Doflamingo shouted almost madly, his face, which had always been full of arrogance, was now filled with impotent rage.

If it weren't for the fact that the person sitting in front of him at this moment was Katakuri from the Big Mom Pirates, the consequence of falling out would basically be tantamount to seeking death. With Doflamingo's personality, he would not have endured it until now.

"As far as I know, you are the biggest arms dealer in the underground world. More than 60% of the business in this industry comes from the middleman Joker..."

Katakuri spoke expressionlessly. He did not object to Lord Boros' decision to declare war on the World Government. In other words, with the combined power of the two great pirate groups, perhaps only the World Government could be their enemy.

Of course, Katakuri does not agree with Boros' decision to declare war on the World Government immediately. With Boros's strength, he can continue his previous approach and bring the Red Hair and White Beard Pirates under his command.

He could even gather all the pirate groups in the New World, and then use this power to challenge the World Government!

However, Katakuri's status in front of Boros is far from enough to make Boros change his mind.

He had no choice but to improve his own strength as much as possible. Every weapon he got from Doflamingo now might save the lives of his brothers and sisters in the future.

Fortunately, Boros is quite generous in this regard. Although he himself does not need weapons, he does not think there is anything wrong with others using weapons.

Moreover, Katakuri gradually figured out Boros's temperament. No matter what the matter was, as long as it could improve combat effectiveness or fight better, he would always get Boros' support.

Otherwise, Katakuri would not be able to transform into a super buyer and clear out the entire underground arms market.

Now he has directly approached Doflamingo, the largest arms dealer in the underground world, and is ready to get all the arms from the source.

Unfortunately, Doflamingo, the biggest arms broker, did not cooperate, or in Katakuri's eyes, he was not cooperative enough and actually rejected the order made by Katakuri.

"You guys are asking for too much. This is already the underground world's production for nearly ten years. What do you want me to deliver?!"

Doflamingo suppressed his anger and tried to explain it to Katakuri.

It's not that he doesn't want to make the money, nor does he have any objections to the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates. It's just that Katakuri's request is too unreasonable.

The scale of the underground world's arms market is limited, and large and medium-sized organizations like Germa 66 all have their own sources of weapons.

Those who really need to buy weapons from Doflamingo are basically small organizations that do not have the ability to produce their own weapons, or whose own production has too low cost-effectiveness.

The orders placed by Katakuri at the moment have exceeded the production limit of Dressrosa. Even if Doflamingo has Sucrose, the user of the Childlike Fun Fruit, who is the dream of capitalists, the production of more weapons will still be limited by materials.

Doflamingo's explanation was sincere, and considering his character, it could almost be described as humble.

Even the executives of the Don Quixote Family saw Doflamingo like this for the first time.
