From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

Kaido and Charlotte Linlin didn't care about Newgate's rude words.

On the contrary, when Newgate spoke, a hint of reminiscence appeared in their eyes.

"The last time we drank like this was on Boss Rocks's boat," said Charlotte Lingling.

"Then Shiki started fighting with you, old man, right?" Kaido said with a smack of his lips.

Newgate smiled and said, "Kulala! If that bastard John hadn't stopped me, I would have sunk that idiot Skee to the bottom of the sea..."

Although the Rocks Pirates are a group, most of their members are brought together because of some "big business".

There wasn't much camaraderie.

On the contrary, fighting and killing on the ship every day is the norm. However, most of the people on the ship are big-time pirates, and the fighting is real, but it never gets to the point of life and death.

Kaido didn't respond this time.

Charlotte. Lingling was okay, she was considered a relatively famous person at the time.

But Kaido, on Rocks' ship at the time, was obviously doing worse than Newgate and Charlotte. Linlin was doing worse.

His abilities and abilities were all gifts given to him by Charlotte Linlin, one of the major shareholders of the Rocks Pirate Group, before they parted ways.

The three of them reminisced about the past, and although they didn't find any trace of their past friendship... well, there wasn't much friendship.

But it did at least ease the depressing atmosphere.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Newgate asked, "Tell me, what's the matter with you calling me here? You don't just want to reminisce about the past, do you? You two are not the kind of people who are interested in romance..."

Charlotte. Lingling glanced at Newgate with some displeasure, then said, "Old man, stop pretending. You came to the Golden City in person just to meet us, didn't you?"

Kaido still didn't say anything, just sat there.

Newgate nodded at first, then said, "But I don't have any purpose. If I must say it, it's just that I don't mind meeting you, so I came here."

Charlotte, Linlin, and Kaido remained noncommittal about Newgate's statement, but neither did they doubt it.

Because that's the kind of person old Newgate is.

In fact, it was indeed the two of them who hoped to meet Newgate more.

"I've told you before that the Seven Warlords of the Sea are no good. They're all lackeys of the world's justice. But you insisted on having your own way, and now you've ended up like this, right?" Charlotte Lingling said with a tone of complaint.

Newgate didn't buy her tricks at all. He said with disdain, "The Seven Warlords of the Sea aren't good people. You two are? At least I can still sit here. If I hadn't joined forces with Smoker, I would have suffered even greater losses at the hands of you two bastards!"

This is also true.

Although the final outcome of that battle was not satisfactory, Newgate thought about it afterwards and felt that his goal had been achieved.

The original intention was to resist the alliance between Kaido and Charlotte Linlin and prevent the slow decline of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although they all ended up being defeated, it was obvious that there was no winner among the three of them, Smoker?

Smoker may be powerful, but he can't swallow them up.

Not a lethal threat.

The one who truly suffered was Charlotte. Linlin and Kaido had originally thought they could combine their strengths to conquer the New World, but instead, they were in this mess, stuck in the middle. Charlotte, there was no point arguing with that jerk Newgate about these matters. Linlin snorted coldly, then said, "It's been tough lately, hasn't it?" Newgate glanced at Charlotte. Linlin remained silent.

But it is obviously also a tacit agreement.

Nowadays, even though they have become the so-called "Four Emperors", in fact, they are far from being as charming and domineering as in the original story.

The New World has many internal problems, the most important of which is that the navy is becoming increasingly powerful.

With the improvement of the navy's comprehensive strength, the tide of piracy around the world is slowing down. This has, to a certain extent, caused the supply of pirate blood in the New World to be insufficient.

At the same time, Sakaski was the admiral in charge of the New World war, and his style was very tough.

Although so far, he has not started any world war.

But the navy did effectively strike a blow against the arrogance of pirates in the New World. At the same time, the gateway waters have basically fallen into the hands of the navy.

The entire New World pirates are locked inside, their living space is constantly shrinking. They cannot defeat the navy externally, so they can only fight internally.

So life is really not easy.

Even the Four Emperors-level pirate groups are like this.

Seeing that Newgate didn't say anything, Kaido said: "If this continues, we will all be finished sooner or later, Whitebeard..."

In the original story, Kaido was doing quite well. Although he wasted many years in Wano Country, he finally dominated Wano Country. After that, he started a lot of arms business, and then gradually expanded the Beasts Pirates, and even created a legion of people with special abilities.

Among the Four Emperors, he is not bad and is very powerful.

But now, it's very uncomfortable. Not long after his career started, Sakaski, Diarmuid and others blocked him on the sky island, and then beat him from the sky to the ground, and finally he was caught.

After being locked up for a few years and recuperating, he realized the gap was quite large and had to join forces with Charlotte and Lingling to start a war for greater hegemony, but ended up being a loser...

The Beasts Pirates, who had just taken a break for a few years, were driven back to Wano Country and hid there again.

At the same time, because Doflamingo followed Diarmait, that bastard Caesar didn't make much noise, and there was no trace of the Legion of Special Abilities.

In addition, due to these factors, Kaido was unable to wander around outside, so his subordinates were never complete. The Three Calamities were barely gathered, but the Flying Six did not exist at all.

Drake is still his excellent navy, and Foz F is about to take over CP-9. The future is bright.

What about Page One and Runti? Kaido has undergone a great change in his life experience and has never met these two sisters. Now he really has only a few big cats and small cats under his command, and he has nothing to show for it.

So even though he has become one of the Four Emperors, it is really embarrassing.

But even though he is not doing well, Kaido is restless. He knows very well that if the current situation continues to develop, he will only get worse and worse. There must be enough chaos, or even a major reshuffle, before he can find opportunities in the chaos and see if he can take off again.

So he is very unwilling to be lonely now.

Newgate remained silent, his arms folded across his chest, watching Charlotte, Linlin, and Kaido perform.

But Kaido and Charlotte. Linlin was not angry at all.

Seeing that he didn't react, Charlotte Linlin asked, "The Navy is very powerful now. To be honest, I went to sea as a pirate when I was five years old. By now, I have been sailing the sea for decades, right? I have never seen the Navy so powerful. I have to admit that my Big Mom Pirates alone cannot shake the Navy or fight against it. But, is this just me? Who among you is not like this? Let me ask you, Whitebeard, old man, do you have the ability to compete with the Navy?"

Newgate sighed. This 'naval threat theory' was something pirates would bring up repeatedly when they wanted to join forces. It might have been just an excuse in the past, but now, as Charlotte Linlin had said, none of the three of them could handle the navy.

He now understood what Charlotte, Linlin, and Kaido meant. These two bastards were already in an alliance, and the Pirate Alliance hadn't disbanded yet.

2.9 simply lost its original strategic purpose.

From the looks of it, it seems like he's planning to drag the Whitebeard Pirates into this. What for?

On a larger scale, it's a fight for living space in the New World and for the interests of all pirates. On a smaller scale, it's because the navy is so powerful, and they also understand that once the navy has time to deal with pirates, they will definitely deal with these troublemakers first, and they will have to find ways to deal with the sanctions that are likely to come later, or even... take preemptive action or something.

But whether it was because Newgate was old, no longer ambitious, or his health was really not that good, Newgate was tired and could not move on any longer.

Without Kaido and Charlotte. Linlin is so energetic and always wants to cause trouble.

So Newgate didn't particularly want to get involved in these things.

His more complicated thoughts were that he also knew that if he continued to pretend not to understand the situation and passively delay things, sooner or later, something big would happen.

Therefore, he couldn't advance or retreat, so he finally chose to come to the Golden City.

Just like he said before, this time he came here for no particular purpose, except that he was not opposed to meeting Charlotte, Linlin, and Kaido.

Or perhaps Newgate wanted to see how those two bastards, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, could convince Whitebeard...

If he can be persuaded, he would be happy to get involved!

This is the complex mentality of Newgate at this time.

e

Chapter 392 Whitebeard's Fury, Alliance of the Three Emperors! ?

After a moment of silence, Newgate suddenly spoke up, "So? You called me here this time just to tell me to join forces to fight the navy?" "Have you lost all your willpower? Were you defeated by that damn Diarmait?" Charlotte Lingling said in a slightly vicious tone.

This was an obvious provocation, but Newgate didn't care or refute it.

Instead, he looked at Charlotte Lingling's arm.

In the battle on Jam Island, Charlotte Lingling had one of her arms cut off by Diarmait.

Theoretically speaking, she should be the One-Armed Sword King now.

However, Charlotte Lingling's limbs were intact at this time, except for a terrifying suture scar on her severed arm.

At the same time, Newgate had a keen eye and had already noticed that something was wrong with her arm. …

Yes, the arm was still her own, but Charlotte Linlin seemed to have opened up a new world because of Diarmuid's action.

She had never suffered any serious injuries since she was a child, let alone having her arm cut off.

After her arm was broken this time, Charlotte Lingling actually chose to inject Homies' power into it in order to reattach it. …

In other words, although it's unclear what power this arm currently contains, whether it's Zeus or something else, it can also be said that Charlotte Lingling has created a Qilin arm for herself.

The opening of the door to this new world not only did not cause Charlotte Lingling to suffer a heavy blow and reduce her strength, but on the contrary, it implicitly improved her strength, which was outrageous.

I'm afraid Diarmait would never have thought that this would happen when he cut off her arm.

Charlotte seemed to have noticed Newgate's gaze. Hatred flashed in Lingling's eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "I will never forget this grudge!" "Alas..." Newgate sighed softly.

If 12 was just trying to convince him with this kind of argument and provocation, to be honest, he really wasn't interested and thought Charlotte, Linlin, and Kaido were just joking. How could this work?

"If you just came to say this to me, then let's stop here. After drinking this wine, we'll have fulfilled our past fate. Let's not meet like this again in the future." Newgate shook his head and said.

Charlotte. Linlin and Kaido were silent for a moment, naturally hearing Newgate's refusal.

Seeing this, Charlotte Lingling picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip. Just when Newgate thought this guy had given up and was about to finish his drink and leave, Charlotte Lingling suddenly said, "Rob Lucci, and that Marshall D. Teach... Aren't you curious about something, Whitebeard?"

Newgate frowned and said with a murderous look in his eyes: "If you tell me that you are behind this, even if it is in this damn neutral zone, I will sink you all to the bottom of the sea, Lingling!" Whitebeard has been in a really bad mood recently. The thing that has kept him awake the most is the matter of Teach and Lucci. Now, in Newgate's cognition, Lucci killed someone and then ran away. Teach went to chase him, but ended up chasing himself and disappeared.

It would be strange if he was in a good mood.

"I don't have the time to meddle in your family's affairs!" Charlotte Lingling said angrily.

Newgate finally calmed down a bit. After thinking about it, it was probably nothing to do with Charlotte Lingling. At that time, there was no need for her to provoke his anger.

"Do you know what's going on?" Newgate asked in a deep voice.

But Charlotte Lingling did not speak, but just stared at Newgate.

After a long silence, Newgate finally said, as if relenting, "Tell me about it. No matter what, I'll remember this as a favor." "Hmph, what's the point of a favor from an old man like you?" Charlotte Lingling snorted disdainfully. But she didn't say anything more and instead said, "I was going to tell you..."

Newgate didn't respond, simply looking at Charlotte. Charlotte. Lingling continued, "Rob Lucci, currently a Vice Admiral at the Marine Headquarters, is affiliated with the Intelligence Department. As far as I know, he was once a direct subordinate of Rodriguez Diarmait. He is affiliated with a mysterious organization, also a peripheral intelligence agency of the Navy, called... the Non-Existent Agency."

When Charlotte Lingling said this, she also had a puzzled look in her eyes.

This was the most information she could find out about Lucci. This was mainly because after Lucci returned to the navy, the information no longer had to be kept secret. In addition, her Big Mom Pirates' intelligence capabilities were known as the best in the pirate industry, so they were able to dig up this matter.
