Chapter 31
In the holy land of Marijoa, Pangu City.
After leaving the Sabaody Archipelago, Zhan Guo went directly to the meeting hall of Pangu City. Zhan Guo told the Five Elders what he saw and heard in the jar shop and showed the ability of the Thousand Hands Buddha that he had obtained.
When his ability was just revealed, the faces of the Five Elders changed drastically.
They could feel that Zhan Guo's strength had reached the same level as theirs.
Now even the Five Elders realized the value of this jar shop.
"Now we have the upper hand, we can do a lot of things now."
Zhan Guo began to recount his plan along the way to the Five Elders.
The Five Elders were still worried about how to control Morin, but after listening to Zhan Guo's plan, each of their brows relaxed.
Zhan Guo was right, the emergence of this jar shop might not be a crisis for the ocean, but perhaps an opportunity for the World Government to unify the entire ocean.
And now other forces have not reacted yet, the World Government can use this time to make its strength completely crush other forces.
The most important thing is that the World Government is the issuer of Bailey, they control the most wealth in the entire ocean, and what they want to open the jar is Bailey.
This is a rare good news for the World Government.
"Zhan Guo, go back and draw up the order for the navy generals to open the cans, and we will coordinate the funds!"
The Five Elders agreed to Zhan Guo's plan.
"Now there is another problem. The news about the jar shop has just hit the headlines. Other pirates will soon know about it. We must find a way to delay it."
The Five Elders knew that the pirates were like rats that could penetrate everywhere. Even if the navy deployed defenses around the jar shop, there would always be pirates that could not be stopped.
If the pirates were allowed to open another wave of jars from the jar shop, the reputation of the jar shop would spread faster, which would be very unfavorable to the next plan of the World Government.
"I have thought of this a long time ago!"
Zhan Guo looked like he had a plan in hand, and he said to the Five Elders with confidence.
There is a reason why Zhan Guo is called"the wise general Zhan Guo". Often, before others have thought of the first step of the plan, Zhan Guo has already thought of the second and third steps.
"Tell me about your plan, Zhan Guo!"
The Five Elders all looked at Zhan Guo. They wanted to know what solution Zhan Guo had for this difficult problem.
"Often, if you want to cover a piece of news, you need a bigger piece of news."
"When people's attention is all on this big news, no one will pay attention to the small news!"
Zhan Guo's mouth curled up and he told his plan
"Bigger news, are you talking about Blackbeard and Ace?"
The Five Elders immediately realized what Sengoku was talking about.
"That being said, it’s time to happily announce this big news to the ocean!"
"Zhan Guo, I'll leave this matter to you, just do it!"
The Five Elders only hesitated for a moment, and then they agreed to Zhan Guo's plan.
Zhan Guo's plan was too perfect. If the news was released, it would not only divert the attention of the whole sea, but also enhance the prestige of the world government, and cover up the matter of Morin's jar shop.
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
After saying goodbye to the Five Elders, Zhan Guo left Marijoa.
The next day, as today's newspapers were distributed, people all over the sea were shocked.
"Will the war on the top start in seven days?"
Morin also got today's newspaper. He sighed as he looked at today's newspaper.
The headline of this newspaper was printed with Blackbeard's head. The newspaper said that Blackbeard defeated Whitebeard's second team captain Portgas D. Ace.
He successfully replaced the defeated Crocodile with Ace's achievement and became the new Shichibukai.
And this newspaper specifically stated that the navy would publicly execute Ace in the square of the navy headquarters in Marinford.
The content of today's newspaper was almost entirely occupied by this news. The vision of Sengoku testing the Thousand-Handed Pagoda in the Sabaody Archipelago was actually placed in the gap of the newspaper.
If not If it was someone with a purpose, no one would notice it.
So, the public opinion on this sea shifted again, and they talked about the Whitebeard Pirates from the can shop in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Whitebeard is known as the strongest man in the world, and the people on his ship are all his adopted sons.
Everyone on the entire sea knows that there are four things that must not be done: touch Whitebeard's son, not give face to Red Hair, eat Charlotte Linlin's sweets, and fight Kaido alone.
Obviously, the navy could execute Ace in secret, but they want to publicize it all over the world. Everyone can see their purpose. Their purpose is not Ace, but Whitebeard.
"Luffy, it's bad, something big has happened!"
On a hidden island, Nami handed Luffy today's newspaper. Luffy just took a look and his pupils shrank.
"Ace is going to be executed by the Navy?"
Luffy's whole body began to tremble, and he could hardly think.
"What, is Ace going to be executed?"
After learning the news, Chopper, Usopp and others also came.
They had all met Ace in Alabasta. Ace was a very gentle person, but they didn't expect that he would be executed by the navy.
"No, I have to go to Marinford to save Ace!"
Luffy said, and he was about to get up.
"Luffy, don't move. The load on your body caused by forcing the Seven Gates to open was too great. You must recuperate!"
Chopper hurriedly advised Luffy.
On the Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy opened the Seven Gates and fought with Kizaru, and Rayleigh also appeared there.
Kizaru was afraid that Luffy and Rayleigh would join forces, so he retreated with Zhan Taomaru.
Almost as soon as Kizaru left, Luffy fainted because of the load of the Eight Gates.
In order to prevent being chased by the navy, Nami and others drove the Thousand Sunny, which had not yet been coated, to hide on an island without magnetic force near Sabaody.
"No, there is no time. Ace will be executed in seven days!"
Luffy kept repeating this sentence.
"In fact, we don't need to go to Marinford. It's the navy base, and it's useless for us to go there."
At this time, Nico Robin spoke
"Do you have any good ideas, Sister Robin?"
Sanji's eyes lit up when he heard it. He knew Nico Robin might have a way.
Even Luffy stopped struggling. He looked at Nico Robin with empty eyes.
"Didn't the newspaper say that Ace is now imprisoned in Impel Down? Compared to Marineford, it might be easier to rescue people in Impel Down."
Nicole Robin said to Luffy
"Impel Down, if we sail now, it will take us about five days, and we can indeed catch up!"
Nami thought this idea was feasible
"Luffy can also use these five days to recover from his injuries. With these five days, Luffy can also recover to his peak condition!"
Chopper's eyes also lit up.
After hearing Nico Robin's words, Luffy's eyes also lit up again.
""Please, my friends!"
Luffy's expression was full of seriousness. He expressed his deep gratitude to his friends.
Just like that, because of this newspaper, the Thousand Sunny started to set off from the Sabaody Archipelago to Impel Down.
