One Piece: The Half-Blood Ninja Who Hides on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 289 The Five Elders' Speculation: Could it be the Four Emperors?!

Chapter 289 The Five Elders' Speculation: Could it be the Four Emperors?!

At this moment, in the highest authority room of Mary Geoise, the Five Elders are listening to a CPO report.

"So, you still haven't found any trace of the Blood-Eyed Ninja?" Nasujuro Sei said with a stern face.

Feeling the pressure, the CPO immediately broke out in a cold sweat, lowered his head, and said, "Yes..."

"What a bunch of useless trash!"

So many days have passed and we still haven't found any trace of the Blood-Eyed Ninja... What are these CP0 guys even doing?

Are they all just freeloaders?

"We've sent out a lot of people, but we just can't get any information about him," the CPO said.

He really wanted to find that guy's location, but the problem was... it was simply impossible!

"waste!"

The CPO was so frightened that he shuddered, but dared not say anything more.

After glancing at the CPO, Satan Saint said, "Is it possible that the Whitebeard Pirates hid them?"

You mean...

"Hmm." Saint Satan nodded and said, "During the war at Marine Headquarters, the Blood-Eyed Ninja helped the Whitebeard Pirates rescue Fire Fist Ace, and later even helped them retrieve Whitebeard's body, so..."

"But the Navy has said that the Blood-Eyed Ninja refused the Whitebeard Pirates' protection," Pittor Saint said.

Many marines overheard the conversation between the white-bearded man and the blood-eyed ninja, so the news naturally reached their ears as well.

"You believe him just because he says so?"

Saint Satan glanced at Saint Pitt and said, "What if it's a smokescreen deliberately put out?"

After all, that guy was in the Navy Headquarters back then, so it's normal for him not to tell the truth.

Piet Saint wasn't angry at being rebuked. Instead, he thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, "Hmm, that's also a possibility."

The blood-eyed ninja who had seen Bartholomew Kuma in the Devil's Triangle naturally knew the World Government's objectives, so it's possible that they used this method to evade the World Government's pursuit.

"Alright then," Sacred Volchury thought for a moment, then looked at CP0 and said, "Investigate the recent situation of those Four Emperors."

"Let's see if the Blood-Eyed Ninja is on their side."

CPO: ? ? ?

Investigating the Four Emperors?

Him?

If they get caught, they'll be beaten to death, won't they?

But when the CPO saw Vochuli's expression, he fell silent, then forced himself to say, "Understood!"

"Go."

"yes!"

After watching the other party leave, Saint Satan turned his gaze to Saint Vochuli and said, "Do you think... the other Four Emperors might also be interested in this kid?"

"Otherwise what?"

Vochuli Saint retorted, "You don't really think those guys aren't interested in the Blood-Eyed Ninja, do you?"

Ninjas with special bloodlines possess a variety of powerful abilities...:

Which group of guys wouldn't be interested in someone like that?

Stop joking, okay?!

"Hmm...that seems to be true." Saint Satan nodded.

When Satan heard what Satan said, the first person he thought of was BIG MOM. That guy's favorite thing was to collect people of all kinds of special races, so it's normal that he was interested in bloodline ninjas.

"Is that guy still able to have children?" Satan Saint wondered to himself.

Perhaps as if he had thought of something, Satan's eyes became somewhat strange.

"Kaido and Big Mom would definitely be interested in the Blood-Eyed Ninja," Maz said. "Therefore, I agree with Vochuri."

"Hopefully they're not in the hands of those two," Saint Satan said. "Otherwise, things will get complicated."

Although they are not afraid of the Four Emperors, they do not want to get into a conflict with those guys if possible.

After all... they still need those Four Emperors to maintain the stability of the New World!

"Is it even necessary to investigate that red-haired guy?" Pittor Saint said.

Although that guy is a pirate and even became one of the Four Emperors of the New World, in a sense, he's one of our own.

After all, that guy is a Celestial Dragon!

"No, it is still necessary," said Saint Vocuri.

"Do you think he's untrustworthy?"

Upon hearing this, Saint Vochuli paused for a moment, then said softly, "He is, after all, a Celestial Dragon who grew up outside..."

If the other party grew up in the Holy Land, he would not have any doubts about this man.

But... he grew up in Roger's pirate crew, so we have to be careful!

Recalling Shanks' past actions, Pittor Saint nodded and said, "That's true."

Although the other party is a Celestial Dragon, they didn't grow up in the Holy Land, so their thinking will be very different from theirs. We have to be careful. "However... it won't be easy to find someone from those three guys' territory," Nasujuro said.

"Indeed."

Finding someone in the territory of one of the Four Emperors is no easy task, after all... it's easy to clash with the Four Emperors' factions!

However, in order to obtain the Blood-Eyed Ninja, they had to do this!

"That guy might not necessarily be with the Four Emperors," said Saint Satan.

You mean...?

"Hmm, the Blood-Eyed Ninja and the Straw Hat Boy might also be hiding on one of the islands in Paradise."

Relying on the Blood-Eyed Ninja's Water Release Technique, those two can go anywhere!

"Then let's get the CPs moving," said Nasujuro Sei. "One group will search in the New World, and the other in Paradise."

Although doing this was a bit of a big undertaking, when he thought about the benefits he could gain, he felt there was no problem with doing it.

After all... that's a powerful force!

"That's the only way."

Just then, Saint Vochuli said, "Do you think... the Blood-Eyed Ninja might actively seek trouble with us?"

Upon hearing this, the other four were stunned.

Then, Satan frowned and said, "It's best not to."

While they really wanted to capture this guy, they didn't want him to cause trouble in their sacred territory, after all... that guy's abilities were indeed quite troublesome!

Thinking of this, Saint Satan continued, "That guy's abilities are dangerous; if he comes to the Holy Land, he could cause incalculable losses."

"That's what I think too," Saint Vochuri nodded. "So try to capture him outside, and then send him directly to Egherd."

Since that guy has already rejected their offer, there's no need to treat him well. Just send him to be used as cloning material!

"By the way... why do you have such thoughts?" Pittor Saint asked curiously.

"Because Straw Hat Boy might die in this war," said Sacred Volchilli.

According to the intelligence they obtained, the Straw Hat Luffy was unconscious when he left, and considering that he had been poisoned by Magellan before, they judged that the other party might die!

"So you think that guy might come back for revenge?" Satan said.

"Yes."

"Hmm... that possibility cannot be ruled out."

Saint Satan thought for a moment, then said, "Then let's strengthen the defenses of the Holy Land for the time being."

"Seconded!"

The others nodded in agreement with Satan's idea.

After the matter of the Blood-Eyed Ninja was temporarily settled, the group picked up another piece of intelligence from the table.

"These guys have been making quite a splash lately," said Sacred Vochuli, who was staring at the intelligence report.

It contained information about the latest developments of the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

Both groups have been attacking the Whitebeard Pirates' stronghold recently, and have already captured quite a bit of territory.

"That's quite a commotion," Saint Satan said. "I reckon it won't be long before these guys wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates."

Now it's not just the Four Emperors' crews attacking the Whitebeard Pirates' island; even some pirates who think they can replace Whitebeard are attacking the Whitebeard Pirates' base!

It's fair to say that after losing Whitebeard as a pillar of support, everyone wanted to go up and see if they could do it.

"It's unlikely they'll be completely wiped out," Maz said. "But they'll probably be scattered."

"Disperse the odds..."

.

"Hmm." Maz Saint nodded and said, "If they're smart enough, they'll disband the Whitebeard Pirates and leave the base, which would reduce the pressure they face."

Upon hearing this, Saint Satan sneered and said, "Ha, the white beard is their pride, would they really do such a thing?"

"Then it's up to them to choose," Mazsan said. "Pride or death."

Without someone to lead the crew, the Whitebeard Pirates will inevitably disappear!

The difference lies in whether they disband themselves or are eliminated by others.

"No, there's another possibility," Nasujiro Sei suddenly said, raising his head.

"What's the possibility?"

"The Whitebeard Pirates have reclaimed their position as one of the Four Emperors' crews!"

"How is that possible?" Saint Satan retorted, "Without a powerhouse of Whitebeard's caliber, they simply couldn't have secured that position!"

The reason why the Four Emperors' crews are called the Four Emperors' crews is mainly because their captains possess strength that is no less than that of the other Four Emperors!

But Whitebeard is already dead!

Therefore, they have no chance of securing that position!

Unless... unless someone from the Whitebeard Pirates can step forward again!

But is that even possible?

Who else in the Whitebeard Pirates can rival the other Four Emperors?

Marco?

Don't be ridiculous, that guy has no chance against the other four emperors.

At that moment, a name came to mind.

Fire Fist Ace....

Could it be that Nasujuro Sei is referring to this guy who has the bloodline of the Pirate King?

Thinking of this, Saint Satan frowned.

"It seems you've thought of that too," said Nasujiro Sei.

Satan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "What makes you think that kid with the bloodline of the Pirate King can rival the other Four Emperors?"

"Because he's the son of the Pirate King," Nasujuro said. "Having that guy's bloodline, his potential is definitely not low."

"Of course, I'm referring to potential, not ability."

"Potential..."

Satan frowned upon hearing this, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he lowered his head and began to think.

After a moment, he said, "Hmm, what you said does make some sense."

"But that's assuming that guy can survive being surrounded by so many pirate crews."

If he survives, it proves that he is indeed qualified in this area.

If he can't... then it just means he's nothing special.

"In that case, this guy is somewhat of a threat," said Saint Vochuli, frowning. "Why don't we send someone to take him out?"

"This will also solve this problem."

"Do we even need to lift a finger?" Satan Saint said. "There are plenty of people in the New World who want his head."

Not everyone will like him just because he is the son of the Pirate King; most people would rather take his head off to prove themselves!

Therefore... the probability of the other party dying is very high.

Well, it's also possible that he could be killed by members of the other Four Emperors' crews.

"That's true, but relying on pirates isn't safe," said Saint Vochuli. "So I think it's better to send someone to handle it."

"I agree with Saint Vochuli," Saint Pitt said. "After all... the remnants of Roger's pirate crew are still alive!"

Although Fire Fist Ace was unwilling to admit that he was Roger's son, that guy was, after all, a descendant of the Pirate King!

It would be bad if someone wanted to make a fuss about this, so... Fire Fist Ace must die!

Satan Saint thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Well, let's do it that way then."

"While monitoring the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, find an opportunity to take down Fire Fist Ace!"

"Seconded!"

The other four old men nodded in agreement.

No matter what, that guy has to die!

After confirming the matter, the group stopped discussing it.

"There's a vacancy in the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Do you have any good candidates?" Pittor Saint asked.

Although there is also a vacancy among the Four Emperors, it will be filled sooner or later!

So... they need to fill the Shichibukai position as soon as possible!

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"

Mazsan stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then said, "So far, I haven't seen any good candidates."

"How about that guy called Bucky the Clown?" Satan asked.

"he?"

Recalling the man who dared to broadcast live during the war at Marine Headquarters, Masei frowned and said, "That trainee on the Pirate King's ship... ::.:"

"Yes."

Satan nodded and said, "If this guy is willing to become a Shichibukai, wouldn't that be a good way to dampen the arrogance of pirates?"

If that guy is willing to accept the title of Shichibukai, it's tantamount to him willingly becoming a dog for the World Government.

In this way...the authority of the world government can be better demonstrated!

"What do you guys think?"

"I think it's fine," Nassuro Sei said. "He's a good candidate."

They could even use Buggy the Clown's identity as a member of the Pirate King's crew to make a fuss, thus demonstrating the magnanimity of the World Government!

"I also think it's fine."

Saint Pitt and Saint Vocholi nodded in agreement.

"Then let's include him," said Maz Saint.

After a while, I'll send that guy an invitation and see if he's willing to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"What about the other empty seats?"

"If we can't find a good candidate yet, let's leave it vacant for now," said Saint Vochuli.

The position of Shichibukai is extremely important and cannot be taken lightly.

"That's all we can do."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing!" Saint Vochuli said as if he had just remembered something. "Sengoku has come to the Holy Land. It looks like he's going to find Kong the Steel Bone."

"What's he doing here?"

"He probably wants to take responsibility for this war," Saint Satan guessed. "That's what he said during that war too."

That was something the other side said in front of everyone during the war, so he has to take responsibility for this!

"Is the person in charge... planning to resign from the position of Fleet Admiral?" Pitt Saint asked, frowning.

Sengoku is quite useful; if he just leaves like this... it might not be a good thing for their World Government. "That's a possibility."

"Isn't that perfect?" Maz Saint said. "It's perfect that we can bring up a more obedient marshal."

You mean...?

“That’s right, Sakazuki!” Mazsan’s eyes gleamed as he said, “This guy is much more obedient than the others.”

They do whatever they are told to do; they are very obedient dogs.

Therefore... it would be more advantageous for them to make the other side the marshal!

"Sakazuki yo.:::"

The group exchanged glances, then revealed sly smiles.

"Seconded!"

"I wonder what's going on with that guy now," Pitt Saint said. "I remember the Blood-Eyed Ninja used his ability to create a hole in him."

"That's true."

Recalling the lava hole that had been punched into Sakazuki by the Western Flame, Satan Saint's expression became somewhat solemn.

If that guy can't be cured, then their plans will fall through.

Thinking of this, Saint Satan said, "Send someone to the navy to find him and do everything in your power to heal him!"

This guy is the perfect admiral for them, so...: We absolutely cannot let him die!

"Seconded!!"
