Chapter 58 The Past Of East Blue
"Admiral? Laozi doesn't need it, and doesn't have that spare time."
"Kuzan has left Marine, Dylan!"
Sengoku, who decided to step down as "Marshal", no longer dyed his hair. In the phone bug, Sengoku looked at him with his gray hair: "Sakazuki will be awarded the title in two months. Before Kuzan leaves Marine, he recommended you to succeed him."
"Others think you're a good fit, too."
"Others?" Dylan sneered, "Then if other people don't think I need to live, am I going to kill myself?"
"Dylan...I know..."
"You know shit, you don't know!"
Dylan rudely interrupted Sengoku, picked up the microphone and said to Sengoku: "Aren't you planning to recruit soldiers in the world? Then go to recruit soldiers. I will still be the head of my G5 branch. I want to be promoted to Admiral one day, and I Will tell you!"
After speaking, Dylan hung up the phone bug and looked at CP0 standing in front of the desk.
"Is that what the Five Elders mean?"
"yes·····"
CP0 nodded: "Five Elders said... Even if you are promoted to Admiral, you only need to sit in Marineford and handle special tasks, not..."
"Huh..." Dylan snorted coldly and interrupted CP0 with his eyes.
"As Admiral, you'll have to wipe Celestial Dragons' ass everywhere, and maybe Laozi will be stationed at Mariejois, something like that. Do you think Laozi will do it?"
How the hell do I know! ! ? ?
CP0 shouted in his heart, but his body nodded honestly.
"It's really not like your style."
Dylan reached out to CP0 after taking a puff of cigarette.
"?"
"Phone bug, the one in front is broken."
CP0 said with some doubts: "The azure phone bug is very difficult to breed...and I heard that you crushed it by yourself..."
Dylan glanced at him and sneered: "Then borrow yours, and you can type it up."
It was still the blond Five Elders who answered the phone.
"Adams Dylan?"
"It's me, Admiral, I'm not going to be Admiral, and you know the reason. If I do some things, it will only make the mess worse."
"It has been expected, so what happened this time?"
"Information about 'Poseidon Poseidon'," Dylan looked up at CP0 with a malicious smile.
"I've confirmed that 'Poseidon Poseidon' is..."
Bang! !
The CP0 that was standing in front of Dylan's desk disappeared without a trace, only the door was still shaking slightly.
"Has there been an accident?"
"Hmm... A mouse ran out... Let's get down to business, 'Poseidon Poseidon' is the mermaid princess of this generation—Shirahoshi."
There was silence on the other end of the phone bug, as if the microphone had been blocked.
Dylan wasn't in a hurry either, smoking leisurely.
Shirahoshi is the "Poseidon" thing, and Im knows it.
Now that the times are changing, I also need to stabilize my privileges in advance, otherwise... some things will be difficult to do.
The ability to control the "Sea Kings", is truly remarkable.
But... Even if the World government already knew Shirahoshi's identity, they might not dare to attack her easily.
After all, if the location of The fish men island really makes Shirahoshi break down, no one in this world will be able to escape from there.
And what will be the consequences of directly erasing Shirahoshi, will it make the Sea Kings of the entire sea run away?
No one knows, and no one dares to try.
"Good! The whole message is very important." After saying that, the blond Five Elders hung up the phone.
······
Mariejois - On the Throne of the Void.
"Understood, give him a reward."
An ethereal voice came from the throne.
"What kind of reward..."
The person on the throne supported his head with one hand, and gently tapped the armrest with the other.
"You can figure it out, don't make him feel dissatisfied."
After the Five Elders exited respectfully, the people on the throne smiled:
"cunning."
······
Although Marine defeated the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard's dying words "ONE PICEC exists!" made the situation around the world even more turbulent.
The pressure on Marine and the Royal Army seems to have returned to the beginning of the era of great pirates more than 20 years ago.
All Marine branches and strongholds of the CP organization frequently reported to their respective headquarters and asked for help.
Of course, Marine's victory and Dylan's speech also inspired many people with dreams and strength, and the number of people who chose to join Marine is equally huge.
The two largest forces in the world instantly began to collide from top to bottom.
No one can be alone.
"The 85th branch asks for help, the number of pirates has surged and cannot be contained! Request more combatants!!"
"The 216 branch wiped out the 'Black Goat' pirate group!"
"Non-joint countries ask for help, the pirates have already reached the gate of their capital!"
"Another newcomer with a reward of over 100 million has appeared!"
"The Kingdom of Cucia has been destroyed!"

East Blue.
Kingdom of Girona.
A slender woman stood facing the wind on the watchtower at the highest point of the palace.
She folded her hands together and looked in the direction of the "Grand Line", as if expecting someone to arrive.
"It's windy season, Her Majesty. It's not good for your health."
"Balmond..."
The woman didn't turn her head when she heard the voice from the stairs, she still looked into the distance.
"When will I...see him again."
The aged Balmond walked up to the woman and put on a windproof cloak for her, and then held on to the fence with his hands, looking at the royal capital below.
"He's always been with us, hasn't he?"
·······
Time goes back to 15 years of Sea Circle Calendar 1507.
Kingdom of Girona.
This once big East Blue country has now become a dilapidated kingdom that was removed from the membership by the World government because of its inability to pay the heavenly gold.
The raging pirates, swarming bandits, the royal family who are still immersed in the fantasy of the glory of their ancestors, and the civilians who have lost their vitality together form the appearance of the entire country.
Although it has a vast territory and fertile arable land, the civilians in this country are all pale and emaciated, with dull eyes.
"Get in!!"
"No matter how poor you are, you are still a king!!"
"Maybe there is a beautiful princess, hahahaha!!!"
"Let Laozi also taste the taste of a princess~~"
The royal palace has long since lost its former glory, and the gold ornaments, famous paintings, jewelry, and even silver candlesticks have all been sold out.
"Protect Your Majesty, Protect the Princess!!"
Dozens of last guards guarded the dilapidated "Palace Gate".
"your Highness······"
Balmond, whose hair had begun to turn gray, hugged the shivering Camilla tightly.
"Hi'er... Has... Hiccup... reached this point?"
Under the huge portrait of the ancestors, the king half-spread on the dilapidated chair and turned upside down the wine bottle in his hand.
"I'm out of wine again..."
“Hoo…………………………………………”
Balmond looked at the king who had fallen asleep, and closed his eyes in despair.
As the shouts of battle drew nearer, Balmond's hands began to tremble.
"His Royal Highness Camilla, let the old minister escort you for the last time."
The young Camilla raised her head, and her original sapphire blue pupils seemed a little dull due to perennial hunger.
There were still some faint patches on a barely-fitting floral skirt.
But it can be seen how gentle the person who patched her is, if you don't look carefully, it's even hard to tell.
"Bamond, are we going to die?"
"If you die...you won't be hungry, right?"
Camilla, who had suffered so much at a young age, suddenly had a look of light in her eyes.
"Will I soon... see my mother?"
