Memory Seahorse
Ark Maxim.
Basire looked at the captives taken in this expedition, one with the slow fruit ability that involved time, and the door fruit ability that involved space.
Foxy's talent is very poor, and now Blueno is very loyal to the World Government, so Basire basically gave up the idea of recruiting them.
He is also looking for a suitable crew member to inherit the ability. As long as Blackbeard is captured, then he can start his Devil Fruit plundering plan.
"Captain, not only did Naval Headquarters call this time, but the World Government also called."
"They asked us to release all CP9 members and hand over all the prisoners taken in Water Seven."
Lafitte, a diplomat, whose professional fake smile became a little serious, carefully reported to Basire that the trouble they had caused this time seemed to be a bit too big.
It was only after Lafitte took action that he discovered that those shipwrights were CP agents of the World Government, and they were also agents and spies who were performing important tasks.
Now the World Government seems to be taking this matter very seriously. In the half-day since the Big Daddy Pirates left the Capital of Water Seven, they have called many times to put pressure on Basire.
"For the CP9 members ask them to exchange Devil Fruits, or special technology and supplies."
"For now you continue to argue with them until these CP agents hand over all Rokushiki martial arts training."
"As for the cyborg Franky and the bar owner Blueno, announce that they have died from their injuries."
Basire said casually, while still lifting dumbbells and exercising hard. The appearance of Admiral Aokiji made him feel a threat way more deadly than Golden Lion Shiki.
Just because Basire can play well with Golden Lion Shiki doesn't mean he can play equally well with Aokiji.
Among the top combat forces, the gap is still a bit big.
For example, Kid, who has a bounty of 3 billion, can be easily defeated by the red-haired Shanks, who has a bounty of 4 billion.
What's more, Golden Lion is just an old man with multiple serious injuries, which severely limits his strength.
He is no longer comparable to a young and strong Logia Ice Fruit ability user like Aokiji. He only relies on the ability of Float Fruit to make many forces fear him.
"Then I'll delay it as long as possible."
Lafitte said helplessly, because in fact, he has argued with Naval Headquarters and World Government several times now, and the other party has shown impatience, which makes him feel like this problem is very difficult to deal with.
However, he could only follow his captain's request and continue to ask for prices and negotiate terms.
…
The next day.
The news of the Big Daddy Pirates' invasion of Water Seven made the headlines of the Economic News Agency. At the same time, a Marine Rear Admiral betrayed the Marine because he attacked the Shichibukai.
Among the news, it was mentioned how Basire handed over half of the stolen money to the Marine on the spot as a legal plunder to pay taxes to the World Government, which attracted a lot of dissatisfaction and scolding from Marines and civilians.
Some irritable people even publicly cursed the World Government and called for the cancellation of the garbage organization that is the Shichibukai.
They even felt that Rear Admiral X Drake's betrayal of the Marine was just a forced and helpless act, and he was still a righteous Marine.
Drake also didn't expect that he would gain a lot of fame, which was different from his original intention of being an undercover agent.
So he has planned to do some things that real pirates do, build a reputation as a brutal rebel, and become a great pirate.
The other underworld emperors also felt it was a bit strange.
Why didn't Lu Feld jump out to deal with the rule breaker Basire this time when he robbed the bank?
In the past, when encountering this kind of thing, he was always the first to take the lead in chasing and intercepting such robbers, and it was a desperate situation.
The underworld emperors soon realized that Lu Feld had most likely reached a certain degree of cooperation with Daddy Basire.
This allowed them to refresh their evaluation of Basire again and prepare to strengthen cooperation with the new Shichibukai.
Spandam of Enies Lobby, after losing the elites of CP9, kept applying to the World Government Headquarters to capture the Shichibukai Basire, because he believed that the Pluton design was in the hands of Franky, the cyborg who was captured by him.
Only by retrieving Franky can the World Government have a chance to obtain Pluton's design, and he can better promote himself and make a fortune.
For this reason, he also asked his father Spandine, a high-ranking official, to constantly turn a deaf ear to the World Government and to take action against Basire.
···
On the other side, after Basire finished his expedition, he had time to look for other resources and benefits.
On the third day after the Water Seven incident.
"Captain, the island below is the island where strange things are reported."
Nami held an Eternal Pose and said to Basire. Now that the Big Daddy Pirates have become the crew of a Shichibukai, they can buy most of the Eternal Poses circulating in the market.
It's not like those rookie pirates who can only use the Log Pose to sail one island after another according to the route.
This is the benefit of having power.
According to rumors, residents of this island will lose their memories every day, and this strange incident has spread in the nearby waters.
There have been other people who came here to investigate before, but even these people lost their memories.
These people were either rescued by their partners, or left on the island, becoming amnesiacs, and then losing their memories again and again every day.
Basire felt that this memory seahorse had good abilities, so he wanted to tame it and take it back for experimentation.
However, the memories swallowed by this memory seahorse seem to be unable to be digested and erased. As long as it is beaten violently, it will spit out the memories.
No matter how long the memory has been swallowed, it can be returned to the original owner.
That is to say, it is just like Sugar's Toy Fruit, it may cause problems at any minute.
When these people whose memories are devoured fully recover their memories, the rage might be no less than the riot when Sugar was stunned and all the toys returned to their original state.
However, Basire didn't need the Memory Seahorse to devour the memories of so many people. He just wanted to test whether these captives could be trained into obedient subordinates after losing their memories.
These all require experimentation.
As the Ark Maxim landed on this small island, it quickly attracted the attention of the islanders and attracted a crowd of onlookers.
"No one can sleep until we catch that seahorse!"
Basire ordered, and then the people dispersed to look for an orange seahorse.
This memory seahorse can swallow up memories while others are sleeping, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
Even Basire himself didn't know if his memory would be swallowed up.
After all, this world is full of messy abilities, and they are very incomprehensible.
"Aye Captain!"
The crew of the Big Daddy Pirates immediately landed on this remote island from the Ark Maxim, looking for the seahorse that can eat memories.
The Groseade in the waters of Jaya Island has also received Basire's call order and started to set off for the target island.
They will join the Big Daddy Pirates there to carry out the third round of modifications and upgrades to the island ship.
