Chapter 540: Shiki's Orders
Roger was still in action.
Shiki had a rough idea of Roger's objective.
He wouldn't stop him.
However, Shiki was still very eager for news about the Ancient Weapon.
The previous Great Battle targeting the Roger Pirates had failed.
Although he had held back, it was a fact that he hadn't been able to defeat Roger.
This didn't mean he would give up.
Using any means necessary for ambition, wasn't that right?
He had always been that kind of person.
Ultimately, he had to regain his composure.
Everything he was doing now was preparation for the future of the Flying Pirates.
He also wanted to know what exactly Roger was planning to do.
As fellow Pirates, there must be areas where they could cooperate.
"It seems I need to find some time to talk with Roger."
However, that would have to be after the Roger Pirates completed that matter.
But the operation against the Marines could begin ahead of schedule.
Weakening the Marines' strength, and if they could nip those young Marines who hadn't yet grown up in the bud, that would definitely be a good thing.
"Elite Training Camp?
Let's make them feel the heartache."
Thinking this, a cold light flashed in Shiki's eyes, and a killing aura emanated from his body.
Reinhardt, who was handling affairs not far away, felt Shiki's aura and quickly came before Shiki.
He knew his Governor had something he needed done, but he didn't speak, waiting for Shiki's instructions.
The Marines couldn't be allowed to continue their peaceful development either.
Those brats below were living a bit too comfortably; they needed something to do.
The Flying Pirates' massive Pirate Fleet had grown quite large in number, and there were undoubtedly many people taking advantage of the chaos within it.
Although the Flying Pirates' Territory was vast now, due to developing too quickly, their overall strength looked somewhat unwieldy.
Coupled with those restless Fleet Captains.
It was time to streamline things.
"Notify all Fleet Captains and have them come here!"
Shiki didn't tell Reinhardt his thoughts.
He would know sooner or later.
Once Shiki made a decision, he would definitely act on it.
This was the dominance hidden in his bones.
Most of the time, even Reinhardt couldn't stop him.
"Understood, Admiral."
Reinhardt nodded, said nothing more, bowed, and left.
"Bloody Battle?"
"It's not enough.
Let's make it even more intense!"
In Shiki's view, the scale of the war on Blood War Island was not large enough, even though he provided some members there every year.
But the annual casualties were too low in his eyes.
Blood War Island had long been on the right track, but it wasn't intense enough.
How to openly and honestly weaken the strength of the Marines and the World Government?
Blood War Island was a ready-made platform.
The battlefield was already designated.
No matter what, the Marines had to come.
Unless they were willing to see the Marines on Blood War Island completely wiped out.
To counter the high-level pirate threat, there were quite a few Marine Top Tier Combatants stationed on Blood War Island.
Moreover, giving up was useless; it wouldn't change the Flying Pirates' objective.
This was a war.
Since the Marines didn't want to start a war on Blood War Island, they could only change the battlefield.
Marine Branch Fortress?
Marine Headquarters?
G-1 Fortress?
Or perhaps Paradise and the Four Seas.
For the Flying Pirates, who could fly, they could go anywhere they wanted.
With extremely high mobility, they could move freely between the Four Seas at any time.
First, they would plunder in the East Blue.
After the Marines and the World Government's force arrived in the East Blue, they would directly pass through the Calm Belt or the Red Line to head to the other sea areas.
With Shiki's speed, the Marine warships couldn't catch him at all.
Transferring to another sea area would take at least half a month, or even a month.
Just doing this could drive the Marines absolutely crazy with frustration.
He could toy with them, leading them around like dogs.
This was unsolvable.
He believed the Marines would make the most correct decision.
And they had no way to resist.
That's right, Shiki had already planned to mobilize the Flying Pirates and launch this war against the Marines.
No, he would also pull in the other Great Pirates, but with the Flying Pirates taking the lead as the main force.
They already had their Crewmates on Blood War Island.
He believed that with the Flying Pirates taking the lead, they definitely wouldn't refuse.
In other words, based on his current status, as long as he took the lead and acted as the main force, the other Great Pirates would give their support.
Of course, they also couldn't not support him.
Then, after this, they would unavoidably face the suppression of the Flying Pirates.
Without a doubt, even if time passed, no one would still be able to shake the Flying Pirates' status.
The Tyrant Dragon Pirates couldn't, the Demon King Pirates couldn't, and the Whitebeard Pirates likewise couldn't.
The three old Great Pirates who were already defeated were even more unable to do so.
Even the Big Mom Pirates, who possessed Typhon, would find it difficult to do so.
Although in terms of potential for Top Tier Combatants, the Big Mom Pirates were not weak.
Katakuri and Oven of the Big Mom Pirates both possessed the potential to become Top Tier Combatants.
Katakuri goes without saying; at a young age, he awakened Conqueror's Haki, and this hasn't changed even with Typhon present.
And Oven possesses a Monster-level physique, inheriting part of Charlotte Linlin's physique talent.
The Bake-Bake Fruit he ate is likewise not weak, capable of transmitting astonishing heat, a powerful offensive ability capable of boiling even the Great Sea.
Cassius, who is still young and possesses the Three-Eyed Tribe bloodline, ate the Logia Type Aurora-Aurora Fruit.
Lucifer, who possesses the Lunarian Tribe bloodline, is even more a Mythical Zoan Fallen Angel Fruit Devil Fruit User.
Their potential is likewise powerful, products of Linlin, who is a Monster, and powerful special bloodlines.
However, they need twenty years to grow up.
Meanwhile, Typhon's Monster Legion has been developing.
The two Dragon-level Monsters who have already appeared, Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle and "Ant King" Meruem, both possess Monster combat strength not weaker than Top Tier Combatants.
Other Monsters are countless.
Facing Shiki, who hopes to build the Flying Pirates into the next Rocks Pirates, the current Big Mom Pirates, even if united with the Monster Legion, are no match for the Flying Pirates.
Moreover, the Monsters under Shiki's command are all growing.
Seemingly at a disadvantage in the number of Top Tier Combatants, in the future, the Flying Pirates will definitely not be lacking.
And the Big Mom Pirates need time for development.
The Children who have grown up are only a few, so they absolutely won't intentionally disrespect Shiki.
Charlotte Linlin, this Woman, is very shrewd.
Instead, she will use this opportunity to let her Children train.
Shiki's orders are just a signal.
A figure like him, every move will cause a huge impact.
And the New World is about to stir up a storm.
