Chapter 501: Preaching in Shampoo
Walking on the street at night, Oboro recalled the conversation he had just had with Rayleigh.
Around him, in addition to some pirates looking around, there were countless eyes hidden in the dark corners.
His every move was being "monitored".
From the moment he stepped on land, the government, which had been prepared, had already begun to act.
Oboro lowered his head slightly and lit a cigarette, which was handed to him by Xia Qi before leaving.
In the original work, it was because the Straw Hat Boy beat the Celestial Dragons that the admiral of the navy came in person and began to kill people everywhere... But now there are no Celestial Dragons on the island, even if Luffy arrives, no matter how much trouble he makes, it is impossible to cause the same chaos as in the original work. However, don't forget... This is the Sabaody Archipelago, the last stop before entering the New World. The new-age pirates who can get here are already considered "outstanding". And his goal is to create trouble for the World Government.
So...
"Hey, you guys."
Suddenly, Oboro stopped and looked at the pirates hiding under the Yarkiman mangroves who were peeping at him, and hooked his fingers.
The latter was stunned. Seeing that the God Slayer's eyes were on the direction of himself and others, he walked out tremblingly, and crawled in front of Long with fear and admiration in his eyes, "Lord God Slayer!"
"Help me do something."
Long exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled.
"Please go on."
The pirates were overjoyed.
Being able to establish a relationship with the God Slayer is the 'dream' of many pirates.
"Spread the news and say that in three days, I will bless for free in Block 5. At that time... all outstanding pirates can come to obtain divine power without paying any price or conditions. Of course, in return, you can also get new power."
The pupils of the pirates shrank, revealing a look as if they had found a treasure, and they were quite excited.
"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely complete the order you gave us."
"Be careful, don't die... There are many eyes in the dark."
Long reminded.
"We understand."
The pirates heard the words and also carefully scanned the surroundings.
"Go."
Long waved his hand.
A group of people turned around and ran away.
…
"Inform the higher-ups that the God Slayer seems to have made some kind of deal with a group of pirates on the island, and investigate the identities of these pirates... If possible, arrest one of them and interrogate him about the conversation. Don't arrest all of them, so as not to alert the enemy."
"Yes."
"Also... disguise yourself and go to the tavern just now to see if there is anything unusual?"
"Yes."
Besides the wall of a house far behind Oboro, two agents in suits and leather shoes looked serious, and one of them instructed his companion.
…
There are not many cards in Oboro's system.
However, the lawless area of the Sabaody Archipelago is already full of pirates... He only needs to kill some of them at will and extract resources. It doesn't matter whether the extracted cards are garbage or not. Even a card of a low grade can increase a person's ability or combat experience, which is enough... Oboro's plan is to use this to prove the fact that he has "divine power", right under the nose of the World Government, let them feel his "threat" up close, and then trigger a group effect through "preaching" to attract big fish.
The World Government can ignore ordinary pirates, but if the number of strengthened pirates is large enough... it will cause a qualitative change, and it will become an unstable factor that they can no longer stand by and watch. What's more, there are a small number of pirates on Sabaody Island who originally have extremely high bounties and excellent strength. If they become stronger and are allowed to cause chaos on the sea... it will be very difficult.
A spark can start a prairie fire... What Oboro is doing is throwing a torch into the dry grassland.
He moved the tricks he played in the North Sea to the Sabaody Archipelago.
But the nature of the two is completely different.
This is the Grand Line, the territory of the Navy, and the "gateway" of the Holy Land Marijoa.
As for the recipients of the blessing, one is the rookies who pose no threat and are all over the world, and the other... has already been on the government's "danger list".
"Let's have some fun."
"What you want to do... the situation is not up to you guys, don't get the wrong position, the initiative... is always in my hands."
Oboro smiled and put out his cigarette butt, looking up at the night sky above.
...
In just one night, a piece of news set off the entire Sabaody Archipelago.
Even the parties have spread the news to other seas.
The captain of the Hell Pirates, the God Slayer Oboro, will give other pirates divine power for free.
The greatest gift in history!
For a time, countless pirates stranded in the illegal area flocked to Block 5, began to occupy the territory in advance, and waited in ambush.
There was also a strange sight on the street, with restless pirates running everywhere.
And Oboro himself sat on a hill in Block 5, quietly watching the black sea of people gathering from all directions.
The time has not come yet, and no one dares to approach the hill where he is. The pirate groups that can occupy the closest distance are very strong... These people are very discerning and know the rules. They give the God Slayer the greatest respect and gratitude, and are also indirectly controlling the situation.
"So... what are you going to do?"
Sitting cross-legged, Oboro held a toy gun in his hand and sprayed bubbles.
Bubbles were shot out one by one.
Under the sunlight, it flashed with brilliant brilliance.
And beneath this brilliance, he has a pair of playful and deep eyes.
…
Mariejoa, the headquarters of the World Government.
In a castle, the Five Elders gathered again.
At this time, all the information about the Sabaody Archipelago was transmitted almost every quarter of an hour.
In order to monitor the God Slayer, the government dispatched a large number of agents.
“What do you think?”
Topman, the God of Law and War, one of the Five Elders, glanced at the other four.
"From the information that CP9 Rob Lucci has been responding to, this person seems to be very familiar with us... including some things in the past, his 'origin' is still uncertain, and his ability. In short, it is certain that he is definitely not the descendant of a fallen country that was enslaved by Charlos before... He may have used some technology, objects or abilities to occupy this body, which explains why he has undergone amazing changes in an instant."
"However, according to our understanding, it seems that this kind of 'ability' has never appeared on the sea... and there has never been such a person in the past... So, his true identity remains to be verified."
"Vegapunk also replied. Given the sudden change in the environment of the God Slayer at the beginning of the Shampoo Land incident, there were no instruments or media nearby, so it was impossible to transfer through scientific means in the form of soul or spirit."
"Then... the only explanation is the ability."
"He is telling us off... He probably has guessed that Doflamingo revealed his plan to us. This man's brain is really terrible." The bald man with glasses, Nasujuro Sei, echoed.
"From the current point of view, the people he is targeting are not just the Four Emperors. It is possible that he will eventually come for us."
Satan added.
"Hehe, there are more than one people who dare to go against us in the past few hundred years. But which one succeeded? If he wants to stand in front of us, he must at least wait for him to gain a foothold in the New World. What the Rocks Pirates couldn't do back then, let alone he is now a thorn who can't even compare to the Four Emperors."
"We can't just ignore the matter of Shampoodi. If he can really make a large number of pirates stronger... I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to control the situation on the sea next. The pirates who have been hyping up the new era recently will be difficult to suppress."
"The ones who should be worried should be Whitebeard and the others? The rise of the new era will first impact them... Hehe, they are the people of the old era. Although it is difficult to challenge their status, But it should be possible to let the Four Emperors' territories and resources in the New World suffer a period of turmoil. "
"Don't you understand yet? What the God Slayer wants to do... is to disintegrate the structure of the first half of the Grand Line. There may not be many pirates in the new era who have the courage to challenge the Four Emperors. Once they gain power, the first thing they must do is to make a name for themselves... Within the controllable danger, the first half of the Grand Line is their best "activity venue". The navy and us will encounter resistance and will be unprecedentedly powerful. "
"..."
"In short... take this opportunity to first determine his ability. Is the power bestowed on others unlimited? "
" Wait and see... Once the situation is out of control, follow his wishes and end it. "
