Final Destination Of The Pirates Is To Be Imprisoned

"Once he passes this test, there will be a smooth road ahead."

Listening to the prompt in his mind, Gawain couldn't help but sigh, then turned to look at Kuro beside him and said jokingly: "This time."

"You should be worried about whether Gin will surpass you."

"He?"

Kuro's mouth curled up slightly, and then he shook his head: "Even if he's given ten years, he still can't catch up with me!"

"Yeah?"

Gawain remained calm and sat back in his original seat. Kuro felt bored and turned away as well.

In the room, it was quiet for a while.

Gawain sat in his seat, his eyes falling on a brand new newspaper next to him that still smelled of ink.

The front page of the newspaper has the latest news that has shocked the world.

"The former Warlord, Hanafuda, was defeated and killed in the attack on Loguetown and was replaced by Bartholomew Kuma the Tyrant, who had a bounty of 296 million Belly."

Below is a picture of the two side by side.

The former is Hanafuda, who is confirmed dead.

The latter is Bartholomew Kuma, who is holding a book with the Bible on the cover in one hand. His expression cannot be seen clearly due to his glasses, but it can be clearly seen that his stature is even stronger than Hanafuda.

Looking at the unusually tall and stern-looking figure in the photo, Gawain fell into deep thought for a moment.

Originally, he had guessed that after Hanafuda's death in battle, there was a high probability that the position of Warlord would fall on him, but he never expected that history would eventually bring everything back to its original track.

But with his own growth rate… Gawain showed a playful smile on his face: "World Government."

"If you don't hurry up and invite me in, in a year or two, you'll probably have to call me the fifth emperor of the sea."

After saying that, Gawain put down the newspaper in his hand.

He grabbed Guanze Masamune from the table, disappeared from the room, and found a random location behind the harbor.

He drew out his sword and began to practice his Armament Haki.

After a few sword slashes, a Flying Slash with the added Armament Haki shot out from Gawain's hand, striking several passing sea creatures.

… … …

Marine Headquarters.

Sengoku looked at the document in his hand while frowning.

"The candidate for Warlord that I submitted was rejected outright by that person, and the person he personally recommended was Bartholomew Kuma."

He put down the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "Indeed."

"In terms of both power and reputation, Kuma is superior to White Knight Gawain. The World Government's choice is justified."

"Besides, according to the information we have obtained, Bartholomew Kuma is probably a descendant of the Buccaneers tribe and is born with a strong physique far beyond that of ordinary people."

"Borsalino once told me that Vegapunk is conducting research on human cloning and has even made clear progress. I think this is a factor involved."

"Once his research is completed, the Warlord can be replaced at any time."

"Depending on the situation, the results will be available in five or six years at most."

Sengoku responded, and then his eyes fell on a bounty notice at hand. 

Looking at the overly young face on it, he said: "Then White Knight Gawain cannot be left alone."

"The speed of his growth now even reminds me of Kaido back then."

"Equally young, equal dragon fruit user; the only difference is that White Knight Gawain is not as violent as Kaido."

"But this sea cannot accommodate two dragons fighting each other!"

Then, an uncontrollable coldness emerged in Sengoku's eyes.

He spent decades and put in countless efforts to create the current balance of power among the three major forces, the Marines, the four emperors, and the seven warlords of the sea.

No one is allowed to break it.

For a new pirate like White Knight Gawain, who has tremendous potential at first glance, it is better to lock him up in Impel Down.

Tsuru has the same attitude.

She had been chasing Doflamingo for many years, and she knew very well that if she left these evil people alone, they would only become evil dragons that would wreak havoc on the world.

"Let Zephyr handle this matter. He is currently recovering from his injuries in Loguetown. The only problem may be that the Battle Smasher is damaged. It will not only take some time to rebuild and optimize it to solve the original problem."

"We can afford to wait for this little while."

"Besides, even if something went wrong with Zephyr, Garp has said before that he will go back to the East Blue to deal with some personal matters."

"Personal matters…"

Sengoku realized what was going on instantly, and his mouth twitched slightly: "I guess it was aimed at his grandson."

"The new guy called Fire Fist Ace?"

"Well, that Logia Fruit user, according to the information we have obtained, is suspected of having awakened his Conqueror Haki."

Tsuru was speechless for a moment, and when Sengoku mentioned it, her face became even more tense.

"No!"

"Why can't he even properly take care of a single child?!"

"If we train that child, his future will be limitless. It's even possible for him to take over Sakazuki's position and become the new Admiral!"

"I heard he has another grandson. I have to keep an eye on him so he doesn't make the same mistake again..."

At the same time, in Loguetown.

Ain and Binz hurried into Zephyr's ward with an investigation report on the civil unrest in the Kingdom of Goa.

"Zephyr-sensei, based on the intelligence we have collected, we have basically reviewed the entire process of the coup in the Kingdom of Goa, but the biggest cause of this is…"

Ain hesitated a little, and Binz beside her spoke directly: "The White Knight Pirate's cadre, Kuro of a Hundred Plans, and Gin the Man-Demon teamed up to attack the Kingdom of Goa's palace, killing the former king Sterry on the spot, and reached some kind of agreement with the current king, Outlook III."

"Neither side initiated a conflict, and they even worked together to conceal the incident."

Zephyr's face turned cold instantly.

He took the investigation report from Binz and read it carefully.

The ward fell silent for a moment, with only Zephyr's increasingly solemn expression and the rustling sound of the flipping of papers.

After a long time, Zephyr snapped the report in his hand shut, his eyes already showing some anger: "Because several guards who offended the king were executed, he allowed his subordinates to attack the king, and the entire country almost fell into war."

As he spoke, Zephyr couldn't help but think of what Smoker had said before.

Originally, he had some curiosity and affection for White Knight Gawain. 

After all, he had fought on the sea for many years and had seen many special pirates, Whitebeard and Roger being typical examples.

But after learning about this, Zephyr was extremely disappointed with Gawain.

"After all, they are just pirates…"

"As expected, the final destination of the pirates is to be imprisoned in Impel Down."

As the sound fell to the ground, Zephyr turned to look at Ain beside him and said calmly: "How long will it take for the new Battle Smasher to be delivered?!"

"Because we need to analyze the data and make optimizations, it will take at least two months."

"Is that so…"

Zephyr frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with the time.

But he also knew that it would take time to customize a weapon for himself, even for scientists within the Marines.

After pondering for a moment, Zephyr fixed his eyes on Ain and Binz and couldn't help but smile: "After all, you are still far from being strong enough to face the increasingly dangerous battles in the future."

"Well, let's take advantage of this time to give you some special training."

"Yes!"

The two saluted, their faces flushed with excitement.

When it comes to combat power alone, Zephyr may not be as good as Sengoku, Garp, the three admirals, or even some of the admiral candidates.

However, when it comes to the level of training disciples, even if the above were packed together, they would not be enough for Zephyr alone.

"Also, call Smoker and that little girl along!"

"Understood!"
