"asshole!"
With a flash of light, Kitetsu sliced the transponder snail on the table in two, along with the table itself.
"Calm down, even if you kill Transponder Snail, it won't make a difference," said the tall Gorosei.
"I just get annoyed by the sound of that guy's voice." The short-statured Gorosei put the kitetsu away.
" Doflamingo was probably after Aquaman, so why would he leak information about ancient weapons to the whole world after Saint Charloss died on Fish-Man Island?"
"Who knows what he did? The thing to do now is to control the information."
"How do I control the messages and contact Morgans?"
"It's no use. Morgans won't let this kind of news go by. The legendary ancient weapons. Once he finds out about this, he'll definitely sell the newspaper all over the world."
"What can we do? Although Doflamingo is near Fish-Man Island, he's determined to hide, and Benn won't be able to find him."
"Let's issue an arrest warrant. If the world learns about ancient weapons, shouldn't we recall them?"
" Pluton is in Wano Country, so we can't retrieve it. Aquaman, however, might be able to find a way…"
" Isn't that bastard Sakazuki out there fighting pirates? Let Marine..." The Science Division should go and coat their warships; they might as well wipe out Fish-Man Island and Aquaman along with it!
The Gorosei kept discussing it, but couldn't reach a consensus.
Some people objected to eliminating Aquaman, arguing that "then the newly created Aquaman would be out of our control..."
Like Nika Fruit, Aquaman also has his own will.
For eight hundred years, the World Government has captured countless mermaids, yet no Aquaman has been born under their control.
"Then why not force them to surrender and let them live on land from now on? Isn't that their long-held wish?"
A Gorosei made a suggestion.
"That's something to consider. Even though they've become monsters capable of living underwater, they still crave sunlight on land—it's ridiculous..."
Some in Gorosei may recall that Princess Otohime of the Ryugu Kingdom visited Holy Land Mary Geoise to request that humans establish friendly relations with the Fishman race.
"Isn't this human nature? After all, they were human before the Void Century, and even now, they can still intermarry with humans."
"Hmph, after being contaminated by the bloodline factors of fish, they are no longer human."
"It's really harsh. If they hadn't done this, they wouldn't have survived that blank century."
"Enough! Stop talking about these things. If Lord Imu finds out, we'll be in trouble," a Gorosei scolded.
The room fell silent for a long time before someone finally spoke.
"I'll contact Sakazuki. If Fish-Man Island is cooperative, they'll relocate them to the mainland. If not, then execute the Buster Call!"
"Where to migrate to?"
" Alabasta, wipe out the Nefertari race and destroy their history. Before long, Alabasta will disappear from history."
"Good idea. Letting Aquaman live in the inland desert environment will minimize the threat..."
At this moment, on the Grand Line, a rain of lava and fire fell from the sky, setting the pirate ships on the sea ablaze.
"Find the next target!" Akainu said coldly.
" Marshal Sakazuki, isn't it a bit excessive to kill all these pirates without trial..." Rear Admiral Marine Tina couldn't stand it any longer.
"We don't have that much free time. Since they've chosen the path of piracy, they should be prepared to die."
Akainu said, "Even Buggy, a pirate, has been ruthless towards them. Should we Marines still hesitate?"
Tina didn't say anything more, but her expression clearly showed her disagreement with Akainu's actions.
Some pirates should have been imprisoned in Impel Down, but Akainu omitted this step.
These soft-hearted moderates! Akainu was a little annoyed. Even though Kuzan had left the Marines, there were still some people in the Marines who carried on his ideas.
To bring the Marines together as a cohesive unit, some more effort is needed.
" Marshal Sakazuki, we have discovered a strange Pirate Crew."
At that moment, a Marine colonel came to report, "They say they are maritime merchants..."
"Pirates are pirates, what do they have to do with maritime merchants?" Akainu roared. "Are you all stupid?"
"No, they've even abandoned their own pirate flag and replaced it with the mushroom flag that Buggy came up with," Colonel Marine said.
"We checked the records; they're the Falk West Blue gang, not exactly known for their bad deeds," Captain said. Silver Fox Foxy has offered a bounty of 24 million Berries …
" The Pirate Crew doesn't even have a pirate flag?" Akainu asked, somewhat puzzled.
The pirate flag is the face of the Pirate Crew, and it's generally not taken down.
"Tina, go and check on the situation," Akainu instructed.
A bounty of 24 million Berries is nothing more than a small fry.
"Yes, Marshal Sakazuki."
"If they are faking it, don't be soft-hearted," Akainu warned.
"I will not let bad people go unpunished, but if their crimes do not warrant death, I will not kill them outright, Marshal Sakazuki!" Tina said humbly and confidently.
On a pirate ship with a fox-shaped prow, the main officers of the Falk West Blue Pirates were gathered on the deck.
"Ugh, Captain, what do we do now? We're surrounded by Marines !" Porche, the navigator and cheerleader of the Falk West Blue pirate crew, asked nervously.
Even so, she still speaks in a high-pitched, affected voice.
"Don't panic, we're no longer pirates, we're legitimate businessmen."
Captain of the West Blue Thieves Silver Fox Foxy said, "I'll explain to Marine later."
He is now incredibly grateful that he burned the pirate flag back then.
Since their defeat by the Straw Hat Pirates, the Falk West Blue Pirates have been flying a pirate flag hand-drawn by Luffy.
After watching Clown Buggy's live stream, Foxy finally couldn't stand the ugly pirate flag anymore and simply changed to the mushroom flag, preparing to switch careers and become a maritime merchant.
Before they could even close a single deal, they were surrounded by Marines.
Not long after, Tina arrived at the ship of the Falk West Blue pirates with several Marines.
" Silver Fox Foxy?" Tina looked at the man with the strange hairstyle in front of her and took out the wanted poster to compare it.
"Yes, it's me," Foxy quickly replied.
Seeing Tina with a cigarette in her mouth, he quickly pulled out a box of cigars. "These are specialty cigars from Bagu Island. There's nothing better in all of South Blue. Would you like to try some? There are plenty more in the cabin if you like..."
"No, thank you. I don't smoke cigars," Tina refused. "Are you really running a business?"
"That's right, the cabin is full of South Blue specialties, you can go and take a look," Foxy said.
"Where do you intend to sell your products?" This was the first time Tina had ever seen South Blue products being shipped to Grand Line for sale.
"Go to Wano Country. I want to go there to buy some Sea Stones to sell." Foxy pulled out a newspaper. "In South Blue, Sea Stones are rare; kings would pay a fortune for them."
Tina went to the cabin and saw that it was indeed full of goods. Foxy even showed her the purchase receipts.
This guy really is a businessman.
"Aren't you afraid of danger on Roux?" Tina asked curiously.
"Ugh, we were pirates, what danger are we afraid of? You're so annoying,g" Porche said.
"Idiot! How can you say something like that so casually?" Foxy roared. "We're no longer pirates!"
"It's alright…" Tina said, "I understand what's going on. I'll let the other Marines know. You can leave now."
"Thank you!" Foxy said. "Please feel free to take anything you like, Major General."
"Bribing a Marine is a serious crime." Tina glared at Foxy, and several iron bars appeared out of thin air as if to teach him a lesson.
But a light emanated from Foxy's hand, and the iron bar slowed down immediately upon reaching him.
Sure enough, something is going on...
Tina withdrew her power. "Be a good businesswoman, that's much better than being a pirate."
"By the way, how much are the South Blue cigars? Give me two boxes..."
