Chapter 769 Interlocking

"Mr. Sengoku! I came here this time to ask you something about Blackbeard becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Is that convenient?"

After a few pleasantries, Wick went straight to the point. The fact that Blackbeard became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea made Wick worried about Ace!

Although Blackbeard had many options for the token of his allegiance that he gave to the Navy, Ace had been tracking Blackbeard at the time. In order to get rid of this big trouble, it was very likely that Ace was used by Blackbeard as a token of his allegiance.

After all, Ace's current bounty is 500 to 600 million, which is definitely enough. He is also the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, and his target is Big Mom's general and Kaido's big boss.

It's only because Ace has only been at sea for a short time that the bounty is not as high as those others. Under Vic's teaching, Ace's strength is much stronger than in the original work. His strength is not inferior to that of generals and big bosses. Using such a character to exchange for a position of Shichibukai is enough, even if Ace is not the son of the Pirate King.

In the original work, Blackbeard used Ace's life experience to get the position of Shichibukai. Now even Whitebeard doesn't know Ace's life experience, let alone Blackbeard. However, Ace now deserves the position of Shichibukai even without his life experience.

"This is not a secret. I can tell you. Just ask!"

Zhan Guo originally thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect Vic to make a personal trip for such a small matter. He could just use Den Den Mushi to ask, as they also have a Den Den Mushi connection.

Vic was actually a little worried about Ace. Another reason was that he was going to the Sabaody Archipelago, so it was convenient for him to come to the Naval Headquarters.

He also wanted to come here to see Gion and the children. Although for Gion, it had not been long since the last time they saw each other, for Vic, he hadn't seen them for more than 20 years!

He has been alone in the world of colorful fog for more than 20 years. Although the ability of the Thunder Fruit can suppress many of his instincts, it cannot suppress his emotions. He will also miss his family and friends!

"I want to ask how Blackbeard became a Shichibukai? Was he nominated by the other Shichibukai, or by the World Government, or by the Navy?"

There are only a few ways to become a Shichibukai. The World Government has the most say, followed by the Navy. As for the nominations of the other Shichibukai, it is difficult to be adopted.

The World Government and the Navy do not want the Seven Warlords of the Sea to form cliques. The subsequent Cross Guild caused a lot of headaches for the Navy and the World Government. The World Government and the Navy saw this clearly, but with the emergence of Seraph, they thought everything was fine. Unexpectedly, it eventually led to the alliance of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Neither. It was a person with special abilities under Blackbeard named Lafitte who recommended me. When I was meeting with the Shichibukai to discuss who would be the new replacement, I also sent you a Den Den Mushi, but you rejected it as usual. It seems that you were not the one who answered the Den Den Mushi at that time, right?"

As the Admiral of the Navy, it is impossible for Sengoku to personally make the call to notify the Seven Warlords of the Sea of ​​a meeting. Not many people came to that meeting, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea also knew that what they said would hardly be adopted, so they simply did not go. You can give the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea to whoever you want.

At that time, Doflamingo was sent to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates after this meeting. As for the people who went to the meeting, they were all idle and had nothing to do, so they just came to watch the fun. Doflamingo wanted to use all the useful information to profit for himself, and then he was drafted by the Five Elders and almost died at the hands of Rebecca.

"Blackbeard can succeed by recommending himself? His purpose is too strong. I heard that Blackbeard is very ambitious and hid in the Whitebeard Pirates for decades just to get a devil fruit!

Such a person is very dangerous. He must have some conspiracy to get the title of Shichibukai. You should pay more attention to this man!"

Vic naturally knew Blackbeard's purpose in wanting the title of Shichibukai, but he couldn't say it directly.

Blackbeard's purpose was simple and clear. After gathering a group of desperadoes from Impel Down, he immediately discarded the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea without any attachment. Then he took all his brothers to the Marine Headquarters to kill his father and seize the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. This series of plans was perfect.

Blackbeard first sent Ace to the navy, causing the navy and the Whitebeard Pirates to be in a tense confrontation. Blackbeard stayed on the Moby Dick for so long, and he knew that Whitebeard would definitely go to rescue Ace.

Due to his identity as the son of Pirate King Ace, he is destined to be publicly executed and a war is inevitable. When the navy is preparing for a battle with Whitebeard, Blackbeard leads his men into Impel Down to gather stronger subordinates, and then takes advantage of the battle between the navy and the Whitebeard Pirates to seize the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

A battle at the top gave Blackbeard everything, and then he, with his powerful subordinates, slowly eroded the territory previously owned by the Whitebeard Pirates.

In just two years, Blackbeard, a pirate who was not even a captain, became the new emperor of the sea. The speed of his rise was terrifying, so Wick felt it necessary to remind Sengoku not to be played like a monkey.

"Of course it's difficult to recommend yourself, but he came with a gift. When the government first established the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea, there were only five of them. Later, in order to get seven people, they invited the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace the Fire Fist. At that time, Ace the Fire Fist had not yet joined Whitebeard's army.

But the little guy refused, which was a bit disrespectful to the World Government, and Blackbeard's greeting gift was this Fire Fist Ace!

Therefore, Blackbeard's self-recommendation was quickly approved by the top leaders of the World Government. As for the deeper considerations, it is not something that I, the Admiral of the Navy, can know! "

Because Ace's background had not been revealed and the World Government had not issued an order to publicly execute him, Sengoku did not take Ace very seriously.

Blackbeard was originally making a deal with the World Government, and Ace has been imprisoned in Impel Down. Impel Down and the Marine Headquarters are institutions of the same level. So far, all of Ace's handover procedures have not gone through the hands of the Navy, so Ace's life and death have little to do with the Marine Headquarters, and Sengoku doesn't have that much time to pay attention to these.

"I see. I didn't expect this to work. Blackbeard really knows how to pick people!"

Vic's expression remained unchanged, but he sighed in his heart. He spent so much effort to transform Ace, but he didn't expect Ace to go back to his old ways!

However, he did not receive the news that Ace was going to be publicly executed. This was a big change. There was no need for Sengoku to hide this matter from him. If Ace was really going to be publicly executed, then he, a powerful warrior among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, would definitely be on the list to be summoned. There was no need to hide it from him deliberately.
