Vol 4 Chapter 157: Shichibukai

The five old stars frowned at the same time, for them, they had to face more than just the pressure on the Pirate's side.
The open and secret struggles between the joining kingdoms, as well as the interests of their respective factions and the development of the revolutionary army, require their countermeasures.
One of the five old stars said, "The Dragon people are already dissatisfied with us. Since the destruction of Marijoa, their fragile self-esteem has completely collapsed, and the revolutionary army has launched a banner to overthrow this class difference. In the great world, the slaves of the world have risen to become the masters of the world, which has touched the core interests of the Tianlong people.
Especially now that we are unable to encircle and annihilate that revolutionary army, if we don't handle it properly, things will probably make trouble. "
"Big trouble?" a small person among the five old stars smiled, "Then it would be a big trouble. The arrogant personality of the Tianlong people will make them suffer a bit. The revolutionary army has issued an order to kill the Tianlong people. , They even stated that they can accept any prince, nobleman or even government navy personnel to participate in the revolution, but for the Tianlong people, they will not stay one!"
The tall and thin beard old man coughed, "Okay, let's try to say this as little as possible. After all, we and the Denonians have the same interests. It is not good for us to lose too much, and since Uchihagen appeared, The pattern of the world becomes more subtle, and we are like a joke in front of absolute power. Fortunately, he has no idea of ​​overthrowing the existing world order, otherwise we may have already become dead bones in the grave."
"Okay, the topic is too far away." The first five old star knocked on the table and said, at the same time he took out a piece of material, "What we are going to discuss today is the increase in the strength of the pirates. What is the best response? Method. Neither the Revolutionary Army nor Uchihagen are among the topics discussed this time."
Hearing his words, the others stopped talking and the meeting continued.
"I have a copy of the latest information given by cp9. When they were hunting down Ben Beckman, they were blocked by Shanks on the original Roger's ship. They could not complete the task in front of the overwhelming force, but then a newcomer appeared. The thief stopped Shanks, and a battle broke out with him. The newly built Island of Chaos was destroyed by one third. This is information, you can look at it!"
One of the five old stars passed the information in his hand, and the others passed it on after receiving it.
Shanks was not well-known when he was on Roger's ship, because at the beginning, Roger, Raleigh, and even the profound limelight he joined later were too strong, causing everyone else on the ship to be covered up.
In addition, Shanks’s real growth began in the second half of the new world, and most of the pirates in the first half of the great waterway did not know who he was.
However, the intelligence agencies of the world government have complete archives, and they naturally archive Shanks, so when the information came, they sorted out Shanks' identity.
On the contrary, it was Mihawk, who had been obsessed with swordsmanship before, and this time he really entered the eyes of the world government.
"It's interesting, is it a super new pirate rookie, or a kid on Roger's ship, what do you want to explain?" The last person looked up the information and asked.
The first five old stars smiled and said, "It's very simple, why should we fall into the vicious circle where the navy is the only way to deal with pirates, we can use another easier way to weaken the power of the pirates, Roger opened In the era of the great pirate, we can also turn this power into a boost."
"Oh, what do you mean?" The others showed interest.
"It's very simple, the looting permit... The pirates are pursuing nothing more than a free life on the sea. Normal looting will only allow the Navy to continuously increase their bounties, and the looting permit issued by us must be There will be a lot of pirates interested, and all we need is their combat power and listen to our mobilization, a fair deal, isn’t it?"
Hearing this proposal, the other people looked at each other, and one thought for a while, "But there are many unruly guys among the pirates, such as Roger and Edward, plus this order. The issuance of the license may damage the authority of the world government. After all, the looting of licenses will cause public opposition."
"When did you change the minds of those untouchables?" the proposed Wu Lao Xing asked strangely.
Several other people smiled knowingly. The tall and thin humane said, "You don’t need to care about untouchable thoughts, but this kind of thing looks good, but the actual effect of the implementation is still unknown. The looting of permits is also a thing. Don’t send it indiscriminately. Once it spreads, it may cause great turmoil."
The person who proposed nodded and smiled, "Of course, if you want to get our approval, you must at least show the corresponding strength. If you want a reasonable and legal robbery, you must also build on your own strength. I have already thought about it. If the name is given, it will be called Qiwuhai. We will select seven powerful pirates to issue plunder permits. I think many people will be interested in this."
Laughter came from the conference room, and Wu Lao Xing made a statement on this proposal in a very short time.
...
On the other hand, the disaster on O'Hara Island continues.
The surrounding sea was surrounded by the navy fleet, and the overwhelming artillery was not going to let anyone escape. The archaeologists fell one by one, Robin wanted to do something, but found that his power was so small.
Orbija ran swiftly, and there was a small estuary not far ahead. They could not escape in a big ship. They would only become a target of the navy, and they had to scatter and escape in small boats.
In this way, some people will surely become the victims of attracting artillery fire, but some people have the opportunity to escape here.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the afterwave of the shell exploded not far away. The moment the shock wave hit, Orbia blocked Robin with his body. After a while Robin opened his eyes, and Orbia’s body was protecting her. The blood spilled and stained the soil.
"Mom...!" Robin exclaimed, trying to help Orbiah up, tears have fallen uncontrollably. ..
