The Hunt Begins Again

Hearing that Bartholomew Kuma wanted a large amount of shape memory alloy, Basire frowned. Now that Wapol needs to eat and fuse with Enel to provide thunder and lightning for the Ark Maxim, the production of synthetic shape memory alloys has been reduced to some extent, and the construction of the Groseade also requires a lot of memory alloys, which have rarely been sold to the outside world recently.

Now a big order business has actually come in, which is unfortunate because Wapol is too busy currently.

"This matter may have to be postponed. My island ship is still under construction and there is not that much memory alloy to provide."

There was a hint of rejection in Basire's tone. He had no intention of revealing Bartholomew Kuma's secret of being a member of the revolutionary army yet, so there was nothing he wanted from him for the time being.

Moreover, Kuma's current identity is the Shichibukai who is the most 'loyal' to the World Government, and he will definitely not hand over some of the scientific research of Vegapunk.

If he takes into consideration the Paw fruit, he doesn't think he can defeat or even trap him for now, he must also take into consideration the entire revolutionary army behind Kuma and think about the pros and cons of taking action.

"This can be discussed."

When Kuma heard that Basire didn't mean to refuse completely, he continued, but he was a little surprised by the wealth of the Big Daddy Pirates.

Is this island ship so big that all the shape memory alloys on hand need to be used in it?

Afterwards, they negotiated at the port for more than an hour before Kuma disappeared from the port.

Basire looked at the anti-eavesdropping den den mushi and another exclusive den den mushi provided by Bartholomew Kuma in his hand. He snorted coldly and directly ordered the port to be demolished and rebuilt, and the abandoned port to be completely destroyed and thrown away.

Although others were confused about Basire's order, they did not dare to disobey it and immediately mobilized a large number of personnel. Even the officers and crew of the Big Daddy Pirates personally took action to destroy the port.

"He can mark a place so he can reach it at any time?"

After hearing Basire's explanation, Nico Robin, Lafitte, and Kuro realized the reason for the captain's gloomy expression.

It turns out that he was worried that their lair would always be under the eyes of others.

Following this incident, the construction speed of the Groseade became even faster, and Lily Carnation did not hesitate to consume energy and created tens of thousands of leaf people as workers to build the island ship at full speed.

After the upgrade is completed, they want to keep the island ship base in constant motion to prevent other forces from observing it.

···

The CP9 members who returned to Enies Lobby were immediately called by Chief Spandam who wanted to ask some questions.

Are the Pluton design drawings in the hands of the cyborg Franky? Are Blueno and Franky really dead?

The CP9 members, whose memories linger on the day the Big Daddy Pirates landed in the Capital of Water Seven, were uncertain about the life and death of Blueno and Franky.

But Rob Lucci and Kalifa are basically certain that there is a 70-80% chance of Pluton's design being in the hands of Franky. Spandam immediately wanted to order them to capture Iceburg and torture him to extract a confession.

If he was really sure about this, he would definitely apply to take action against Basire, even if he is a Shichibukai.

Coupled with the recent frenzied purchase of supplies by the Big Daddy Pirates to renovate the island ship, people in the World Government have to wonder whether Basire is building a Pluton battleship.

"Sir, Iceburg and some shipwrights have also been requisitioned by Basire for the construction of his island ship. So we may not be able to catch them for a while.

Moreover, Mayor Iceburg has a very good reputation. If we arrest him for no reason, we may be condemned by the public opinion."

A CP agent dissuaded Spandam from trying to capture Iceburg.

"I don't care! If you don't get the cyborg Franky or Pluton design back, I will send you to the Yonkōs as undercover agents!!"

Spandam shouted angrily because he would never allow any meat that reached his mouth to be taken away.

Together with his father Spandine, he will request the World government to let him take action against the new Shichibukai.

These CP9 agents could only return to Water Seven and wait until Iceburg appears.

···

The next day, Ark Maxim.

Basire quickly set off and entered the front section of the Grand Line again to search for the Heart Pirates' Ship. This time, even the large diving ship Bliking was dispatched.

Because the pirate ship of Trafalgar Law is a polar submarine, it is very difficult to capture, and their traces are difficult to determine.

Apart from waiting for them to land on some island to replenish supplies, it is difficult to get information about them.

Even the intelligence organizations in the underworld cannot accurately know their information.

Now Basire and the others are just trying their luck by predicting where the Heart Pirates will land on the next island to replenish supplies.

"Captain, now the World government is becoming more and more dissatisfied with us and requires us to continue rounding up the remnants of the Golden Lion Fleet and hand over the bodies of Blueno and Franky."

Lafitte was also a little helpless. The phone calls from the World Government and Naval Headquarters have been frequent in the past two days, and they have been exerting a lot of pressure.

"Let them wait a moment and give them a big surprise afterwards."

Basire clenched his fist and had already made a decision. If he managed to capture Blackbeard, the Summit War might not be able to start normally.

Then he doesn't mind personally delivering Fire Fist Ace to the Marine, so that the attention of the World Government and Naval Headquarters can be focused on the son of the Pirate King.

This would let Basire have more development and planning time.

This will not only severely damage Naval Headquarters, but also allow Whitebeard to free up his position as Yonkō to make way for Basire.

If Basire doesn't want to take action himself, he can actively send the information about Blackbeard to Ace, guide them to fight, and then yoink them both!

Try the behind-the-scenes boss experience.

The feasibility of this plan is very high. All he needs to do is block Blackbeard on a certain island and then guide Ace, and everything will fall into place.

With Basire's current power, this plan really only requires a little effort to play with Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates second division, and Blackbeard, the future Yonkō.

'At the expense of revenge on Doflamingo, I should be able to recruit Trafalgar Law. Even if I can't completely subdue him, I can still let him work under me!'

'And Golden Lion Shiki, it's time to find an opportunity to take action against him as well.'

Basire's eyes were full of ambition. If Blackbeard could cause a Summit War and lay the foundation to become a Yonkō. Basire who now has stronger capital than him can also cause the fall of a Yonkō in one go!

At that time, it will not matter that the World government suspects that Pluton's design is in his hands, because he will turn around and become Yonkō. While Impel Down, Marineford, and Enies Lobby will all be destroyed.
