Chapter 176 The dumbfounded mother-in-law, are you two so in sync?!
Seeing west Yan's eyes light up, Hancock paused for a moment before saying, "Alright, I will contact the Navy outside Amazon Lily right away."
After saying that, Hancock looked at Marigold and gestured for her to bring her a Den Den Mushi (snail phone), as she wanted to contact the vice admiral.
She just hoped the other party would be sensible and agree to her request.
Glancing at Marygrod who was walking to the side, west Yan asked in confusion, "The navy outside Nine Serpents Island?"
What is meant by the navy outside Amazon Lily?
Could it be... that the navy officer who urged Hancock to join the war was actually nearby?
"Yes, the Navy has come to our Amazon Lily to see our Lady." Sandasonia nodded and said, "The one leading them is a Navy Vice Admiral named Rat."
"Rat One".
west Yan narrowed his eyes, not expecting it to be an old acquaintance.
Taking the Den Den Mushi from Marigold, Hancock asked curiously, "What, you know it?"
"Ah, there were some conflicts back then."
"Click!"
Upon hearing this, Hancock's forehead veins bulged, and she coldly said, "Then let's just kill him."
"Heh, it's not impossible."
Grandma was dumbfounded when she saw the two people with murderous intent flashing across their faces.
Wait, why are they suddenly going to attack the navy?
And these two get along so well, how come they have such great chemistry?
No, now is not the time to think about such things.
Thinking of this, Grandma immediately jumped forward, blocking their path and saying, "You two, wait a minute!"
"Grandma, don't stop me!" Hancock said, frowning.
"Don't you want to help Xiyan anymore?"
Hancock: ....
Upon hearing this, Hancock was immediately rendered speechless.
"I know what you two are planning to do, but let me finish what I have to say first," Granny said quickly. "First of all, there's the issue of Hancock's Shichibukai title."
"If we don't participate in this war, our Shichibukai title will definitely be revoked, and then this country will be besieged by the World Government!"
Perhaps sensing what Hancock was trying to say, Grandma continued, "Let's not talk about the fact that we're in the Calm Belt. The fact that the Navy can appear in the nearby waters means that they have some kind of special technology that allows them to traverse the Calm Belt."
"In this way, the calm zone will no longer be a natural barrier for our Amazon Lily."
"Hancock, you should know what this means."
"This humble servant..."
"Don't give me that 'I don't care' nonsense," Grandma interrupted Hancock bluntly. "As the emperor of this country, don't be so naive!"
"How dare you call me childish! You...:::"
Ignoring Hancock's angry glare, Grandma turned to Xiyan and said, "Xiyan, although I don't know what kind of grudge you have against this person, could you let him off this time?"
"At least don't kill them now."
"We can't kill Yao for now—" west Yan pondered.
After hearing what Granny said, Hancock stopped her movement to grab the person, a look of doubt appearing in her eyes.
"Because he's here to pick up Hancock," Granny said. "If something were to happen to him, what do you think the Marine Headquarters would think? What do you think the World Government would think?"
"Even if Hancock goes to Marine Headquarters to participate in this war, she will still be suspected."
After listening to Grandma's words, west Yan pondered for a moment and then understood what she meant.
If anything were to happen to the vice admiral who came to pick up Hancock, the World Government and the Navy would certainly blame Hancock.
If any problems are found, Hancock's title of Shichibukai could be revoked!
At that point... it might bring disaster to the country.
If that's the case, then we really can't easily make a move against this guy, at least not right now.
"Should we try controlling him with the illusion of the kaleidoscope?" west Yan thought to himself.
However, this thought was quickly extinguished by west Yan.
After all... he didn't know if the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan could instantly control a Marine Vice Admiral-level figure; at least he hadn't tried it yet.
If the other party cannot be brought under control in an instant, a conflict will break out, and things may develop in an unpredictable direction, which may bring disaster to the island.
Thinking of this, west Yan gave up the idea.
Then west Yan said, "I understand."
"Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If I were to encounter an admiral-level fighter in Impel Down, I might not have the extra energy to control that vice admiral from Marine Headquarters," west Yan murmured to himself.
After all, he had only had the Mangekyou Sharingan for three days.
Upon hearing this, Grandma immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At least he listened to advice.
"So?" Hancock frowned at her mother-in-law and said, "And what's your plan?"
"I think I understand what Grandma is thinking," west Yan said, stroking his chin. "You want me to follow behind in a sea monster, right?"
He understood Grandma's idea. First of all, Hancock would definitely have to go to headquarters to participate in this war, so that she could keep her title of Shichibukai.
The condition for going was that he had to visit the underwater prison once.
This way, they will know the route to the underwater prison.
"Yes," Grandma said, "Is it possible?"
"Hmm, no problem."
After thinking about it for a moment, west Yan realized that it wasn't difficult to use a sea king to silently follow behind the warship.
In this way, they can also sneak into the underwater prison undetected.
This method is indeed more reliable, at least it won't put Hancock, the woman who is willing to help him, in danger.
"Then let's decide on that." Granny Za smiled. "This way, Xi Yan and the others can infiltrate Impel Down, and Hancock won't risk losing her Shichibukai title."
"Okay, I understand." Hancock nodded and said, "I'll contact that guy right away and tell him my request."
After saying that, Hancock took the Den Den Mushi and walked outside, saying, "Xiyan, I'm counting on you to remove the marks from my sisters."
"no problem."
west Yan nodded, then looked at the Mary and Gruud sisters and said, "Which of you two will go first?"
"I'll do it."
Sandasonia, the second eldest sister, walked over to Xiyan and said, "Please!"
"fine."
After thoroughly cleaning the operating table, west Yan patted the surface and said, "Lie down."
"yes!"
On the other side, Vice Admiral Rat, standing on a naval warship, stared intently at Amazon Lily in the distance.
"I hope you'll be sensible, Boa Hancock."
Otherwise, Amazon Lily will be destroyed!
"Gurgle~"
Talking Mouse:
The mouse glanced at its growling belly, and its lips twitched slightly.
He'd been waiting for so long that he was getting hungry.
Glancing at the sea monster he had slain on the surface of the sea, Rat drew his sword and said, "Taste this sea monster."
Just then, the sound of a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) came from the cabin.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"A Den Den Mushi?"
The mouse paused for a moment, then walked over and said, "Was that... Boa Hancock calling?"
He had just reported the situation here to his superiors not long ago, so it shouldn't be the Navy Headquarters calling. As he thought this, Rat picked up the Den Den Mushi.
"He must be a vice admiral."
"Boa Hancock."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the mouse revealed an "I knew it" expression, and then said, "Are you planning to enlist in the Marine Headquarters?"
"Yes, I can participate in this war," Hancock said, "but you must grant me one condition!"
Otherwise....
The mouse paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "What are the conditions?"
If the other party's conditions are too harsh, their navy will not agree to them.
"I wish to visit Impel Down and see the protagonist who caused this major incident, Fire Fist Ace," Hancock said calmly. "Is that alright?"
mouse:???
The mouse looked completely bewildered. Why would this woman want to see Fire Fist Ace?
Could it be that she knows that man?
No, rumors say this woman has an extreme aversion to men, so it's impossible for her to have any dealings with the Whitebeard Pirates. She probably has some other motive.
"What, it's not allowed?"
"I can't make that decision myself," the rat said. "I have to report to my superiors first."
Ultimately, he was just a vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters and had no authority to decide such a big matter.
After all... he didn't know what this Pirate Empress's true purpose was!
"Alright, then I'll await your answer," Hancock said calmly.
After saying that, Hancock decisively ended the communication, completely disregarding the rat's thoughts.
mouse:
Looking at the Den Den Mushi that had fallen back down, the mouse rubbed its head and said, "You really are used to doing things your own way..."
That's right, that's just how the Pirate Empress is, otherwise there would be problems.
After shaking his head, Rat picked up the Den Den Mushi and began dialing the number for Navy Headquarters.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Kaka~"
Upon answering the phone, Sengoku said, "This is Sengoku."
"Marshal of the Warring States Period, I am the Rat."
"Rat..." Sengoku recalled what he had asked Rat to do, then nodded and asked, "How's the situation on your end?"
"Has Boa Hancock agreed to join this war?"
"She agreed to participate in this war, but she needs us to agree to one condition."
"condition?"
Sengoku frowned, turned to look at Vice Admiral Tsuru, and then asked, "What are the conditions?"
Is this woman planning to take advantage of the situation?
If that's the case... then they'll settle scores after the war ends!
"Boa Hancock requests a trip to Impel Down."
"To the underwater prison?" Vice Admiral Tsuru asked in surprise. "What would she be doing there?"
Is this guy planning to rescue someone?
If that's really the case, then this pirate empress is incredibly foolish.
"She said she wanted to meet the man who caused this incident," Rat said. "As for whether she had any other intentions, I don't know."
So far, he hasn't figured out if the other party has any other motives.
"Fire Fist Ace, huh?"
Zhan Guo rubbed his temples and said, "Alright, let her go."
Although he didn't know what the woman was thinking, in this special period, he felt it was a good deal to exchange such a powerful force for such a simple condition.
"A Warring States period marshal?"
The rat was somewhat surprised that the Warring States Marshal had so easily agreed to the other party's request.
"If she's smart enough, she won't do anything unnecessary," Sengoku said. "I'll have Magellan keep an eye on her."
"We'll give her the Sea Stone Gauntlets then, so even if she wants to do something, she won't be able to make a fuss."
After saying that, Sengoku paused for a moment, then said, "By the way, remember to tell her about the Seastone Hand as well, so as to avoid any unnecessary trouble later."
If the other party agrees to the request, it's fine to let them go, since it's just a quick look. But if they don't agree... then it means they have other ideas!
Then there's no need to be polite to this woman. We'll just destroy them after the war is over!
"Yes, I understand!" the mouse nodded.
Seastone can disable Boa Hancock's abilities and weaken her body, thus effectively preventing her from causing trouble.
This is indeed a good idea.
"Kaka~"
Looking at the Den Den Mushi that had just hung up, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's all the better that this woman can come to participate in the war."
"That's true." Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded and said, "After all, she's very strong."
As a high-ranking officer in the Navy, Vice Admiral Tsuru was well aware of just how powerful the Pirate Empress was.
Ordinary vice admirals are no match for this woman; only a naval admiral can reliably suppress her.
Such combat power will be of great help in the upcoming war!
At least holding off the Whitebeard Pirates' division commander shouldn't be a problem.
"That means we have five Shichibukai participating in the war," Sengoku said, rubbing his temples. "It's a pity that Jinbe doesn't know what's good for him."
Despite being a Shichibukai, he harbors a great deal of affection for the Whitebeard Pirates... It's truly a headache.
"What a waste of such a powerful naval force."
Their chances of winning would be even greater if the other side were willing to join the war.
"Who told the Whitebeard Pirates to protect Fishman Island?" Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed.
Fishman Island, being a necessary stop for pirates on their way to the New World, faces the risk of invasion every day.
If it weren't for the Whitebeard Pirates, it would probably have been completely destroyed.
"But he's a Shichibukai!" Sengoku said. "A Shichibukai who doesn't obey orders has no reason to exist."
The World Government established the Seven Warlords system to counterbalance the power of the Four Emperors.
But if the Seven Warlords of the Sea don't obey, then we'll have to deal with them!
Both the World Government and the Navy share this view on the matter.
Vice Admiral Tsuru shook his head upon hearing this, then turned to look at the navy officer beside him and said, "Has that guy still not given up?"
"According to the message from Warden Magellan, Jinbe remains steadfast in his beliefs," the Navy said.
"I see."
Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded, then looked at Sengoku and said, "In that case, let's pretend he doesn't exist."
While losing one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is troublesome, it's not unacceptable.
"That's all we can do," Sengoku said.
Although Jinbe is missing,... with the other Shichibukai around, they can still hold off some of the Whitebeard Pirates' captains.
Especially Hawkeye Mihawk, whose strength is unfathomable.
I just don't know how much effort this guy can put in.
Thinking of this, Zhan Guo sighed.
After all, these guys aren't from the Navy.
Just then, a communications soldier ran in, his face clearly showing panic.
"What's wrong?"
"Reporting to Marshal," the communications officer said, "Just now, the 23rd crew responsible for monitoring the Whitebeard Pirates..."
Several warships lost contact at the same time!!!
"Varied......?!"
Sengoku's pupils contracted; had he lost contact at the same time?
If that's the case... then it must have been Whitebeard who personally took action!
"Only this guy has that kind of strength," Sengoku murmured to himself.
Using the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, they triggered a massive tsunami that simultaneously engulfed all the warships... That's ruthless!
"Shall we take out our eyes first?" Lieutenant General Tsuru frowned. "Any other information?"
"Other pirate crews in the New World seem to be making moves as well, but the specifics are unclear!" the communications officer said with a grim expression. "We have no idea how many troops they've gathered, nor when they'll arrive."
"Should we redeploy the surveillance ship?"
"There's no need for that," Lieutenant General Tsuru shook his head and said, "Since they chose to sink the warships at the same time, it's impossible for us to track their movements anymore."
That man is no easy opponent.
"Let's prepare for battle," Sengoku said, taking a deep breath. "The Whitebeard Pirates could attack at any moment."
"Notify the entire army to prepare for battle before the execution day!"
"yes!!"
"I'll go and make some preparations too," Vice Admiral Tsuru said, standing up. "Once those unruly Shichibukai arrive, they might cause some trouble."
As he spoke, the image of Doflamingo appeared in Vice Admiral Tsuru's mind.
Especially that brat.
Doflamingo, a former Celestial Dragon with a wicked personality, is capable of anything.
"Please, Tsuru," Sengoku said.
"Um."
Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded and then left.
After watching the other party leave, Sengoku thought to himself, "I hope this time I can finally keep that Whitebeard guy here!"
This will effectively dampen the arrogance of the pirates!
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Sengoku's eyes.
