Chapter 278 Frozen Corpse


Chapter 278 Frozen corpse

As soon as pure gold was mentioned, the five old stars all fell into silence. None of the five people present had the character to sacrifice themselves for others.

Especially since they have finally achieved their current position of power, it is not an exaggeration to say that one person is inferior to tens of thousands of people.

When Lord Imu didn't wake up, everything in the world was at their disposal. Naturally, what Wulao Xing wanted most was to continue all this forever.

After all, they know that the best precedent is Master Yimu, the supreme king who has dominated the world behind the scenes for eight hundred years. The Five Old Stars also want to follow in Yimu's footsteps and continue the power they have now.

"The Divine Army will be ready to dispatch, but we still need to urge Porusalino to dispatch as soon as possible to defeat that madman!"

In the end, it was Saint Nasthuro who took the lead to break the silence. Regarding Porusalino's 'willfulness', Saint Nasthurō naturally sternly rebuked him on the surface, but in his heart he was still a little gloating.

Although the existence of the Divine Army cannot be replaced by the Navy, because the Navy is too strong, the Army under the same World Government has been suppressed to an almost humble state.

Over the years, almost all of the increase in military expenditures by the Navy has come from the mouths of the Army. The Navy has a marshal and three generals, but the Army does not even have its own marshal, but is directly under the jurisdiction of the commander-in-chief of the three services.

There is only one army general. Such an army is obviously not enough to balance the increasingly large navy.

In order to change the status quo, the five old stars have made a lot of efforts in the past, including sending Cyborg Sora, who was supposed to be from an army family, to Marinefando as the navy marshal.

As a result, Cyborg Sora was reduced to the status of Navy Marshal and was defeated by the pirates. This was considered a historical precedent. In the end, he could only be 'promoted' to Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces in a less honorable way.

Although Marshal Kong was unlucky and bumped into the peak Red Earl, to say that there was no secret manipulation behind the scenes would be an insult to the intelligence of the five old stars.

As a result, the Five Old Stars began to be more and more wary of the navy that had become a climate, and the navy that was targeted in various ways became more and more disobedient. In the end, Porusalino, the naval marshal who specifically opposed the Five Old Stars, emerged.

At this point, the five old stars had completely given up, and simply took advantage of Porusalino's troubles to try their best to strengthen the army's strength.

"Whether it's better to have God's army as an insurance policy or not, regardless of whether that madman has something to do with Locks or not, anyone who dares to provoke the World Government must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

Saint Maz nodded and said, if it weren't for the possibility of being related to the D clan and Rocks, even if the two pirate emperors united, it wouldn't be worth wasting so much time.

"I will urge Porusalino to take action as soon as possible."

Saint Vauciuli also took the initiative to promise that in fact, what the Five Old Stars most hoped for was to completely subdue Porusalino.

After all, without the support of the navy, the power of the world government will be greatly affected. Moreover, the power of the navy is too huge, and it has reached the point where it is too big to lose. .

However, now the Five Old Stars and the World Government are begging for Polusalino. Not to mention falling out with him, they even have to coax him to work.

And when the Five Old Stars were discussing whether Poros was a member of the D clan, Porusalino, who got a hint from Marshal Kong, thought for a long time, but still couldn't keep up with the Five Old Stars' brain circuits.

After all, Rocks was already a person from decades ago. Even if Porusalino was a witness at that time, Porusalino did not have PTSD from the D family, and he didn’t think that the Rocks Pirates had any. How awesome.

In addition, Porosalino clearly knows the origin of Boros, so naturally he will not pretend that Boros is a descendant of Rocks like the Five Old Stars.

So after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't guess the reason. I could only reluctantly understand that it was Boros's behavior of declaring war on the World Government, which made the Five Old Stars treat him as a dangerous person like Rocks.

Fortunately, Porusalino has a very good advantage, that is, he does not ask the root cause of problems that he cannot figure out, because he has a direct way to solve the problem.

"Moses Moses, this is Porusalino..."

Porusalino took out the dedicated phone again and called Poros, who was still in Wan Guo.

The phone bug tried to imitate the features of Boros, but it had two eyes, so it could only pretend to turn one eye closed.

"What happened?"

Boros, who received the call, asked very directly.

If it were Porusalino, he would definitely take the opportunity to claim credit and demand a salary increase.

But Poros took it for granted and didn't realize how much work he had done.

"You can start taking action in advance. Remember the people on the list who cannot be moved, and the people who must be beaten to death by me." Porusalino did not mean to beat around the bush. Instead of wasting time chatting with Poros, it was better to turn back. Take the time to beat him up and satisfy Boros' desire to fight.

After hearing Porusalino's words, Poros's eyes suddenly lit up.

He was more or less tired of always 'bullying' the two most senior combatants, and now he could finally find a new opponent.

Although Boros doesn't think this planet can find an opponent other than Polusalino, it is still a planet that can give birth to strong men like Polusalino. Maybe he can meet Bikaiduo and Charlotte. Special Lingling is a stronger guy.

"I know!"

Poros answered without hesitation.

After Porosalino hung up the phone, Poros's order was quickly issued to the beasts and the BIGMOM pirates.

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

Boros, who did not take the World Government seriously at all, directly ordered the large fleet to set sail and head towards Mariejoia.

The entire world was shaken by Boros's order, and even the spies from various forces lurking in the world couldn't help but wonder whether the information they had obtained was true.

And just when Boros was preparing to send troops to attack Mariejoia, Morgans, who had returned to the World Economic News newspaper office, 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 for printing. It was not until all the newspapers were printed and sent to all parts of the world by Newsbirds that Morgans, who was worried about the world being in chaos, burst into laughter.

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

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

"shock! The two pirate emperors join forces to declare war on the World Government! 》

"The new era Pirate King who is above the Pirate Emperor!" 》

"The most vicious pirate in history!" 》

……

As a giant in the underground world, Morgans has more than just a "World Economic News" in his hands.

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 in one fell swoop and changed them to Boros and his Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.

So in less than half a day after Wu Laoxing became furious, everyone in the world, wherever the news birds could reach, saw the latest newspapers without exception.

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

"You actually defeated two pirate emperors! Did you even lose to monsters like Kaido?"

"Whitebeard just died, and another Boros appears! There is no end to these damn pirates!"

……

For 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's record of defeating the two pirate emperors, he just felt that the sea had become more restless.

However, for those in the New World who are barely surviving under the oppression of the Pirate Emperor, Boros, who has defeated two Pirate Emperors, is already an indescribable thing that can stop children from crying at night.

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

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

An unknown sea area in the new world.

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

The red-haired Shanks, who was still bandaged, sat on the railing of the Red Voss and handed the newspaper he had read to the deputy captain Ben Beckman beside him.

It is worth mentioning that after experiencing the War on the Top, Ben Beckman, like Shanks, has become the "Condor Hero" who lost an arm.

Fortunately, compared to Shanks who fights with swords, Ben Beckman's main fighting method is firearms, so losing his right arm will not render him a useless person.

It's just that it will suffer quite a lot in close combat. Compared with the level when it was able to deal with top powerhouses at its peak, now it only has 60 to 70% of its strength at most.

"Having defeated Kaido and BIGMOM, will his next target be us?"

Ben Beckman frowned and said, no matter how confident he was in Shanks and his companions on the ship, he still didn't think that the red-haired pirates would be able to conquer the two pirate kings with the current state of a group of defeated soldiers. The opponent of Boros in the regiment.

"Hahaha, don't say such scary things, but if Boros comes to our door, we will probably have to fight with him. I don't want to be partners with Kaido and BIGMOM."

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

"If you talk nicely, maybe people will look down on you...cough cough cough cough!"

Seeing Shanks laughing heartlessly, Jesus Bu next to him also teased with a funny face. But before he could finish his words, Jesus Bu, who was seriously injured in the battle at the top, coughed violently.

As the top sniper in the sea, with Jesus Bu's strength, he can fight as long as he doesn't meet the top strong ones.

However, his opponent at that time was Porusalino, who had already become serious. Even Ben Beckman lost an arm in front of Polusalino, and Lackey Lu and Gabu died on the spot.

In this way, Jesus Bu, who was seriously injured by Porusalino's kick, was actually lucky.

"It's really too much. After all, I am also the Pirate Emperor. How could you look down on me?"

Shanks, who was complained by his friends, suddenly burst out with a strange competitive spirit. Although he would definitely fight to the death when he met Boros, he was told by Jesus that Boros looked down on him, and Shanks was not convinced.

"Hahaha! I think what Jesus Bu said makes sense..."

"I haven't come to see the captain after so long. Isn't it really because I don't like him?"

"The captain is so arrogant~"

……

The pirates of the Red-Haired Pirates also laughed and laughed at Shanks together. 'Besieging' the captain is a classic reserved item of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

But compared with the laughter in the past, the laughter now is obviously much sparser, and many familiar faces have disappeared, remaining in Malinfando forever.

Also in the new world, on an uninhabited desert island, the three brothers Sabo, Ace and Luffy, who reunited after a long separation, finally reached the point of separation.

After confirming that both his brothers were safe, Sabo was ready to go back to find Dorag and continue to be his 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 one captain: his father.

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

"Even Kaido and BIGMOM have become that guy's 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 have always been the freest on the sea.

But now that Ace has been elected as the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates by everyone, he needs to worry about all the things that may involve the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although they have not yet dealt with the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, Boros has conquered the two pirate emperors, and it is hard to imagine that he will let go of the Whitebeard Pirates who have been seriously injured.

"I'm afraid we have to be mentally prepared for war. According to the information sent by informants in the underground world, all the arms in the underground world have been basically wiped out in the past few days, and there have been many huge orders for weapons and gunpowder... …”

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

If it was when dad was still alive, it wouldn't 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.

"Did Dad protect us under such pressure before?"

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

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

Margao wanted to comfort Ace but didn't know what to say, so he could only pat Ace on the shoulder.

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

In this case, if he wants to protect the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace will have to pay much more effort and cost than Whitebeard.

If he had known that the situation that the Whitebeard Pirates would face next would be so bad, given Margo's character, he would probably have chosen to suppress Ace again, and would not have put the burden on Ace's shoulders so quickly.

However, it is precisely because of the difficult situation that he will face next. 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 defend the Whitebeard Pirates, and sooner or later I will avenge my father!"

Ace spoke to Margao seriously, as if he was cheering him up.

To this day, he can't forget the scene when his father died in the hands of Porusalino to save him.

"...We will always stand by your side!"

Margao was silent for a moment, wanting to persuade Ace but couldn't.

He didn't want to avenge his father, but compared to Porusalino, Ace was still too immature now. Even if the Whitebeard Pirates came out in full force, it would be almost impossible to defeat Polusalino.

What's more, Margao still remembers what his father said about Porusalino before he was alive. That guy was the only admiral that his father didn't want to be an enemy of.

At that time, Margao was still somewhat unconvinced, feeling that his father had made a mistake and overestimated Porusalino.

But now it seems that dad has good eyesight and can easily see through Porusalino's hidden strength.

"Ace! Where are you?"

Before Ace could speak, Luffy's shout came from the direction of the distant campfire.

Before the three brothers officially parted, they naturally had to have an extremely grand bonfire banquet to celebrate according to pirate tradition.

"Oh! Let's come over right now!"

Before Ace could react, Margao replied loudly.

"Huh?"

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

"I'll think about those troublesome things later. Don't forget that there are us brothers behind you. Now let me enjoy the banquet!"

Malgao laughed and joined the cheering crowd. Ace, who looked stunned, was forcefully pulled over by Luffy, and the three brothers danced a weird dance of inserting chopsticks into their noses.

If there were any members of the Revolutionary Army here, they would definitely be stunned. Is the person doing the unusually shameful dance really their chief of staff?

As the saying goes, one family is happy and the other is sad. While the three Luffy brothers of the Whitebeard Pirates were enjoying the joy of their farewell party, Tenyasha Doflamingo, who was entrenched in Dressrosa, fell into an unprecedented crisis.

"How many times do I need to say this? You want too much! Even if I empty my place, it is impossible to conjure the weapons and ammunition you want out of thin air!"

Doflamingo shouted almost frantically, his face that had always been filled with unruliness was now filled with incompetent rage.

If it weren't for the fact that the person sitting in front of him was Katakuri of the BIGMOM pirates, the consequences of turning against him would be basically courting death. With Doflamingo's character, he would not hold his nose and endure it until now.

"As far as I know, you are the largest arms broker in the underground world. More than 60% of the business in this industry is handled by the intermediary joker..."

Katakuri said expressionlessly that he did not object to Lord Boros's decision to declare war on the World Government. In other words, with the combined power of the two pirate emperors, only the World Government could be his enemy.

Of course, Katakuri does not agree with Boros's decision to immediately go to war with the World Government. With Boros's strength, he can continue his previous practice and bring the red-haired and white-bearded pirates under his command.

He even gathered all the pirate groups in the entire new world and used this power to challenge the world government!

However, Katakuri's status in front of Boros was not enough to make Boros change his mind.

In desperation, he could only improve his own strength as much as possible. Every weapon he got from Doflamingo now might save the lives of his younger brothers and sisters in the future.

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

Moreover, Katakuri has gradually figured out Boros' temperament. No matter what he does, as long as it can improve his combat effectiveness or fight better, he can always get Boros's support.

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

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

It's a pity that Doflamingo, the largest arms broker, was not cooperative, or not cooperative enough in Katakuri's eyes, and actually refused Katakuri's order.

"You ask for too much, which is already the output of the underground world in the past ten years. What do you want me to deliver?!"

Doflamingo suppressed his anger and tried to explain to Katakuri.

It's not that he doesn't want to make the money, and it's not that he has any objections to the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates. It's just that Katakuri's demands are too overwhelming.

The arms market in the underground world itself is limited in scale, and large and medium-sized organizations like Germa 66 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 the cost-effectiveness of self-produced weapons is too low.

The current orders placed by Katakuri have exceeded Dressrosa's production limit. Even if Doflamingo has Sugar, a childlike fruit capable person who is a capitalist's dream, he wants to produce more weapons. There will still be material restrictions.

Doflamingo's explanation was not insincere, but given his character, it was almost groveling.

Even the leaders of the Don Quixote family saw Doflamingo in such a posture for the first time.
