One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 435: Whitebeard Pirates' Big Trouble

In the end, Profick was unable to spend the New Year in Wano Country, but instead came to Sphinx Island in the New World on the day of the Spring Festival.

The story begins three days ago.

"This year, the economic growth rate of Wano Country is 21.5%, which has been above 20% for ten consecutive years..." The top leaders of Wano Country and Dawn gathered together and were listening to the report of Yasuie Shimotsuki on the Wano Country government.

Ten years is enough time for huge changes to occur.

In recent years, Wano Country has been developing rapidly and has become one of the most developed regions in the entire pirate world. It is quite developed in economy, technology and culture.

Former high-ranking officials of Wano Country, such as Kozuki Hiyori, Sukiyaki and Yasuie, all felt extremely fortunate that the decision they made to follow Prophik was absolutely the right one.

Such a prosperous and flourishing Wano Country is far beyond their imagination, and probably also beyond Lord Oden's imagination.

Although the country's economy, culture, and even customs are far different from the original Wano Country, the Kozuki family has almost lost its actual power.

But at least, the Nine Red Scabbards and Shimotsuki Yasuie have no regrets. "Become the guardian of Wano Country" was Yasuie's admonition to the Nine Red Scabbards back then, and now Wano Country is stronger and safer than ever before. This is enough to show that their choice back then was correct.

"Everyone," Profick was the first to speak after listening to Shimotsuki Yasuie's government report, "Next year's work focus must change... The World Government's patience with Dawn and Wano has reached its limit. We may face suppression from the World Government, or even war."

According to Profick's guess, there are two methods that the Five Elders are most likely to take. One is to take down one of them on the spot when he goes to Marijoa; the other is to take advantage of the opportunity of the World Conference to directly abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea system and then let the navy carry out the crusade.

Of course there are ways to deal with it. First, Profek decided not to set foot in Marijoa again. Then, he contacted the kings of the countries that he was friendly with and opposed the proposal of the World Government to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

It is not difficult to do this. Unlike before, the reputation of the Shichibukai is quite good. Profek, Crocodile, and Jinbe are all considered "role models" among the Shichibukai. Hawkeye is at least beneficial and harmless. Only Boa Hancock and Gekko Moriah's looting behavior may affect civilians.

But Moria just hid in a corner. With the popularization of steam-powered ships, the trade of the Kingdom of Women gradually prospered. Hancock went out to sea less and less, and most of the time he stayed in the palace, serving as the King of her Kingdom of Women.

On the contrary, the countries that were once deeply harmed by the Seven Warlords, such as Alabasta and Dressrosa, have now prospered with the help of two of the Seven Warlords. From "anti-Seven Warlords" to "supporting Seven Warlords", King Neptune certainly would not think of abolishing the Seven Warlords and making Jinbei lose his legal status.

After all the calculations, there is almost no king who could truly support the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Profik was arranging next year's development plan with everyone when suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded in the conference room.

"Alert, alert, an unidentified bird-like flying object has been spotted in the sky!"

"Warning, warning, the aerial robot cannot recognize the other party's identity."

"Level 1 warning, Level 1 warning, aerial robots No. 213 and No. 214 have been shot down..."

"warn……"

The alarm sounded continuously and everyone subconsciously looked out the window.

"How to do?"

"Follow closely, don't intercept, let them in."

Profek made arrangements immediately.

Of course, it is impossible for an ordinary bird to be identified as a "bird-type flying object" by the alarm system. The person coming is most likely a devil fruit user.

There are quite a few Devil Fruit users who can fly, including Kizaru's light, Enel's electricity, Crocodile's sand, Doflamenco's string, Kuma's meat ball, Robin's flower, and even Profick himself can fly.

However, there are not many people who can be called "bird-shaped flying objects".

Bell from Alabasta can apply for entry without breaking in; although Morgans from the World Economic News is an albatross user, he can't fly at all; Jin, the former "big boss" of the Beasts Pirates, has long passed away; Lafitte, who escaped with his life more than ten years ago, is impossible to come to the door...

It was clear who was coming.

Sure enough, not long after, a huge bird with blue flames burning all over its body flew over from the distant sky.

The first captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco the "Phoenix".

"Marco...what a rare visitor."

Profik and Marco knew each other.

The Whitebeard Pirates are one of the most powerful forces in the New World. During every festival, Profek would send some gifts and blessings to the Whitebeard Pirates.

But it’s not that familiar.

The Whitebeard Pirates didn't even know Plofick's Den Den Mushi number, and the most frequent exchanges between the two groups were usually just trade between the islands under the Whitebeard Pirates and the caravans of Dawn.

If it wasn't something extremely urgent, Marco wouldn't come directly to my door.

Marco landed beside Profek, his face full of anxiety, "Sir Profek, the Whitebeard Pirates need your help."

"help?"

Dawn is indeed very strong, but Profek still knows his own limitations. He doesn't think he can do anything to help the powerful old man Whitebeard.

Marco explained anxiously, and Profik finally understood.

Whitebeard was actually sick, and his illness was very serious.

This matter is closely related to Profek. According to the original timeline, although Whitebeard's health has been getting worse year by year, he can still remain strong.

But that year, due to Prophik's secret instigation, Whitebeard and Kaido had a fierce battle in the sea outside Wano Country. The power rock buried by Kaido caused serious damage to Whitebeard, causing his already deteriorating body to collapse faster.

Now, there are still several years before the outbreak of the War of Marineford, but Whitebeard's body can no longer hold on.

As the ship doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco knows his father's health best. He tried his best but was unable to provide effective treatment.

The illness that even Marco's medical skills cannot cure is enough to take Whitebeard's life!

He thought about it and decided that in the entire New World, the only one who could possibly save Whitebeard was Dawn.

There is the Life Fruit of Lalf, the Surgery Fruit of Luo, and the countless special medicines produced by Detrick Island, which is under his control. There is also news that the dwarfs on Greenbit Island are also cultivating special plants that can be used to make medicines.

If he could get Proficient's help, perhaps Whitebeard's life could be saved.

Therefore, Marco flew across the ocean alone and came to Wano Country.

Whether to save Whitebeard is a big problem facing Profek.

From the perspective of "standpoint", Profek is one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" and Whitebeard belongs to the "Four Emperors", so the two sides are naturally hostile.

But the news from Zefa couldn't be false. The probability of the Five Elders attacking him had increased greatly. It was only a matter of time before the two sides fell out. He didn't ask Zefa for more detailed information. The old man was willing to provide him with this piece of information, probably because of the favor of saving the navy training ship that year.

Even if the Five Elders do not take action, Profek intends to take the initiative to eliminate the cancer of the world caused by the Celestial Dragons.

At this time, once Whitebeard dies, chaos will inevitably follow in the New World.

The pressure that pirates put on the World Government will be rapidly weakened in a short period of time, and the World Government will be more likely to free up its hands to take action against Dawn and even the entire Seven Warlords of the Sea group.

This is something that Prophik will not allow for the time being, as Dawn is not yet ready to confront the World Government.

It is in Prophik's best interest to "walk the tightrope" between the World Government and the pirate community and slowly develop and grow his own strength.

And the person who is most likely to "take over" the "power" and "territory" left behind by Whitebeard, in Profek's opinion, is not Marco, who is mature and steady, but whose strength has not been able to break through to the level of the Four Emperors, but Marshall D. Teach, who has been hiding and waiting for the opportunity.

Profique would not underestimate Teach, who had not yet eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit. A guy who could leave a scar on Red-Haired Shanks' face was definitely not a weakling. Moreover, Teach's strength and ambition had been well proven.

Normally, Teach had a very good relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates. After Whitebeard's death, the Pirates were bound to face a crisis. With Blackbeard's strength, he arranged a few battles to help his companions "break through in battle" and gain everyone's trust. The possibility of his success is very high.

Blackbeard alone is already very scary. He dared to break into Impel Down with a group of "scumbags" and cause a commotion. Blackbeard, who inherited part of the power of the Whitebeard Pirates, will be even more terrifying. By then, it will be just around the corner for him to inherit Whitebeard's position as one of the "Four Emperors".

Whitebeard is old and has lost his ambition, and only wants to live a stable life with his "sons". Blackbeard is young and ambitious, full of the "dream" of dominating the New World and becoming the Pirate King.

It's hard to say about Whitebeard, but if it's Blackbeard, Profick is 100% sure that when Dawn and the World Government clash, that guy will definitely take advantage of the situation. At that time, Wano Country might become that guy's target.

It would be best to find an opportunity to eliminate Blackbeard, this super hidden danger, in advance!

It seems that the Whitebeard Pirates still have to help...

But they can’t help for free. The Whitebeard Pirates have to give up some of their interests to make up for the benefits of this help.

As if noticing Profek's hesitation, Marco took the initiative to say, "If you are willing to help, no matter what the result is, the Whitebeard Pirates will remember this favor in our hearts. If you need it in the future, as long as it does not violate our principles as pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Sure enough, dealing with a "filial son" like Marco is easy.

"We can help,"
