Before The War

Rhine did not immediately agree to Lafitte's request.

He is not a leader who likes to draw big pies.

If you can promise, you promise, if you can't, you can't.

Wanting to get the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates first team is not something that can be done casually.

Although in this war, they are likely to encounter the Whitebeard Pirates.

But the situation on the battlefield is too chaotic, what will happen then?

Rhine, a transmigator, couldn't even guess it.

So Rhine can only promise Lafitte—

Even if he can really catch Marco, what's the point of transferring the phoenix fruit to him?

But it's too early to tell.

He still have to test whether the idea of ​​replacing Devil Fruit works.

...

...

There are two days until Monkey D. Luffy's public execution.

Sabaody Archipelago.

Including members of the Straw Hat Pirates, plus several Revolutionary Army cadres headed by Sabo.

And Ace, Marco, two members of the Whitebeard Pirates, are gathering here.

And on the sea next to it, a submarine is docked.

"This, is it really okay for such a small number of people to go?"

Nami said with a worried look on her face.

According to Sabo's plan, the Revolutionary Army, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will temporarily set up a "Rescue Team".

Secretly infiltrate Impel down and rescue Luffy.

But in fact, the members of this team is Sabo and Ace who are the sworn brothers of Luffy.

As well as one of the four commanders of the Revolutionary Army, Karasu and Franky from the Straw Hat Pirates.

It is no wonder that Nami and the others are worried. After all, Impel down has been established for hundreds of years, and only Golden Lion has successfully escaped from prison.

With such an impressive wall, can Luffy be rescued with just four people?

"If there are too many people, it will be too eye-catching. This number is just right."

Sabo tugged on his glove and explained.

Franky is the boatman responsible for driving.

karasu is good at stealth work, and has the ability to fly.

Sabo and Ace are responsible for confronting the enemy head-on.

No more people are needed.

Immediately, Sabo set his sights on Marco.

"Mr. Marco, although it is the best choice for us to rescue Luffy in advance, if we fail... I will trouble you."

"Ace's business is our Whitebeard Pirates' business, don't worry, yoi!"

Marco chuckled with his strange oral habit.

"Marco, I..."

Ace had a hesitant expression on his face.

His mood at this time was the same as when he was in the Summit War in the original book and witnessed his companions die one by one at the hands of Marine in order to save him.

In Ace's view, saving Luffy is his own choice, and it is also his own private matter.

Pops and the Whitebeard Pirates shouldn't be involved.

However, they decided to help him without hesitation.

This made Ace extremely guilty.

"Don't take it to your heart, Ace, we're family."

Marco patted Ace on the shoulder and said.

As Sengoku said in the original book.

Ace thought he was helping Whitebeard become the new Pirates King.

But in fact, Whitebeard is silently train Ace, wanting him to become the new Pirates King.

And Marco, as the person who followed Whitebeard the longest on the Moby Dick, naturally understands this.

For Whitebeard's decision, he certainly fully supports it.

What's wrong with helping his future captains?

Ace secretly clenched his fists, and secretly vowed that he must rescue Luffy from Impel down.

In this way, Pops and the others can be prevented from being involved in this war.

Immediately, Ace entered the submarine with Sabo, Karasu and Franky and rushed to Impel down.

Soon, the submarine completely disappeared from the sight of everyone on the shore.

"Let's go too, yoi,"

Marko turned his head and said to Nami Zoro and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates crew:

"If they fail, we're going to be ready to fight."

Usopp said in a trembling voice:

"Hey, hey, are you sure? I almost fainted at the thought of participating in such a terrible war..."

"Didn't you already fight CP9 before? What are you afraid of?"

Zoro patted Usopp from behind.

"This is not the same level at all, okay!?"

Usopp growled.

Seriously, compared with the scale of this war with the battle with CP9, is just like the gap between the BOSS of the Newbie Village and the BOSS of the Hell Abyss.

"That's... the Sunny!?"

Just as everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates was about to leave with Marco.

Nami's face suddenly turned pale.

On the opposite side of the coastline, two ships were sailing towards this side.

One of them was the Sunny that had been snatched from them.

It's just that the logo printed on the sail is not the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Damn it! They actually took away our important ship!"

Sanji almost bit off the cigarette in his mouth.

"Don't mess around, now is not the time to fight them!"

Zoro judged calmly.

"The green-haired guy is right, let's go quickly.vyoi"

Marco reminded.

But when he saw the ship next to the Sunny, Marco himself murmured in his heart.

"That's is the logo of Kuja Pirates, how could these two comes together?"

When the Sunny and the Perfume Snake came to the Gate of Justice.

Through the monitoring of the video bug, it is determined that Rhine and Hancock who are Seven Warlords of the Sea have arrived.

The huge door of justice slowly opened.

However, the two-person ships and other crew members are not allowed to enter.

Instead, the government sent a support ship, and only Rhine and Hancock were allowed to enter.

"They really cautious."

Rhine smiled secretly when he saw a warship with a World government cross on its sail approaching.

The leaders were several men in white clothes and iron armor masks.

There is only one department in the government that dresses like this——

CP0.

"Please come with us."

the leading CP0 member stepped forward and said indifferently.

Rhine and Hancock didn't talk nonsense, and jumped onto the opposing warship.

"The others can go back."

The CP0 agent coldly said a word to the pirates under the duo.

The door of justice slowly closed.

Rhine and Hancock were led by CP0 agents that afternoon.

Came to the central area representing the highest authority in the world——

Holy Land Mariejois.

Although Hancock still maintains his usual indifference on the surface.

But if you observe carefully, you can find that her black pearl-like eyes tremble slightly from time to time.

"don't be afraid."

At this moment, Rhine took Hancock's hand and comforted her in a low voice:

"There's nothing to be afraid of."

Feeling the temperature from his left hand, Hancock's heart twitched violently, her pretty face became red, and she lowered her head and let out an "um".

Unfortunately for Hancock, though.

This feeling didn't last long.

In less than half a minute, Rhine let go of her hand, and walked into a white castle on the side of the City together with Hancock.

"For these two days, please stay here."

The CP0 agent stood in front of the luxurious gate and said coldly.

squeak--

The nearly ten-meter-high gate had just opened, and a disgusting aura came from it.

Only those who have truly crossed the mountain of corpses in the sea of ​​blood can exude such an aura.

After entering the room, several people sitting inside also confirmed Rhine's guess.

[Hawkeye]Dracule Mihawk

[Heavenly Yaksha]Don Quixote · Doflamingo

[Shadow Mage] Gekko Moria

[Tyrant]Bartholemew Kuma

Hiehahaha~ This is really interesting. The Pirate Empress who hates men the most will arrive at the same time as the new Shichibukai."

The tall and thin Doflamingo squatted on the chair with a strange grin and said:

"Is it a coincidence? Or is there some unknown secret?"

"Humph!"

Hancock was so displeased that she almost wrote the word "disgusting" on her face, and sat down in the corner seat.

"Oh~ It's the king of the newspaper, it's a pleasure to meet you~"

Rhine teased.

Rhine has a soft spot for Doflamingo.

To be honest, seeing the later stage of "One Piece", his mood may be the same as that of Doflamingo who is in jail.

I really wonder what kind of expression this guy would have if he saw that Trafalgar Law, who was beaten by him, could kill Big Mom in just one month after he beaten him.

"Huuh?"

Doflamingo frowned in confusion.

the newspaper king?

What kind of strange nickname is this?

Rhine wasn't interested in explaining to Brother Mingo either, he sat down beside Hancock.

Count himself and Hancock.

Six of the Shichibukai has arrived

Wasn't Jinbei here?

If he isn't here, Whitebeard is probably make a move.

Because of a Jimbei very good personal relationship with Ace.

Therefore, in the original Summit War, Jinbei naturally did not accept the government's summons.

And now the one who was caught became Luffy.

Although Jinbei will become Luffy's crew in the future, the two parties are still strangers right now.

Jinbei not gonna give up the title of Shichibukai for Luffy.

And if he doesn't come now, there is only one explanation——

Whitebeard ready to make a move!.

Jinbei absolutely didn't want to be an enemy of Whitebeard, so he didn't accept the government's order.

Hawkeye glanced up at Rhine out of the corner of his eye.

They have some interest in each other.

Because Luffy and Zoro are both newcomer pirates that he is quite optimistic about.

But Luffy was caught by Rhine, a little-known man.

It really surprised Hawkeye.

Noticing Hawkeye's gaze, Rhine grinned back and thought:

"Speaking of which, this is also one of Luffy's connections."

I have to say that the background king's connections are really terrifying.

If you really want to count, Hawkeye is also half of Luffy's connections.

Hawkeye is Luffy's pirates second-in-command's master and the friend of his guide.

But Hawkeye doesn't have to hate Rhine just because Luffy was caught.

But Rhine was also curious.

If one day he attacks Zoro, will Hawkeye just sit back and watch?

Rhine rubbed his hands.

Although it is unlikely, it is still necessary to plan ahead.

Really, it's not easy to go against the protagonist group.

Not to mention that there is also Bartholemew Kuma who is also a member of the protagonist group.
