In the royal palace of Hachinosu.
Uta, who was seriously injured, had already recovered. When she learned that the Red Hair Pirates had suffered heavy casualties, she still had a sad look on her face.
Even though she had resented the Red Hair Pirates all these years, deep down she still longed to be reunited with them and get along with them like when she was a child.
Seeing the distressed Uta, Basire took the singer to meet someone.
That was Lucky Roux who was rescued by the fish-men unit of the Big Daddy Pirates. Basire put him under house arrest in disguise. Now he just gave Uta a little surprise.
Now that Shanks has suffered the same major setback as Straw Hat Luffy. Basire wonders if he can quickly recover from his grief.
It only took Luffy a week to get over the death of Ace. He matured a lot, but his carefree personality did not change.
It stands to reason that Shanks, who has been a pirate for so many years, should be able to get over the death of his crew members faster.
But the current situation is that Shanks has been drinking for several days in a row. He is drinking to drown his sorrows every day, which makes people speculate whether his Conqueror's belief has collapsed.
Now Benn Beckman, Yasopp and Mihawk are all in a remote bar with Shanks.
Their information has been detected by the Revolutionary Army and the Big Daddy Pirates, but Basire has not taken action against them for the time being.
After all, he still has to take care of Uta's feelings, and he doesn't know if Shanks' mindset has changed after being defeated by the World Government.
If he wanted to take revenge on the World Government, it would be in Basire's interest, and he wouldn't mind recruiting him.
Of course, if Shanks really can't get out of this setback, his conqueror's haki will suffer and his combat power will decline.
Then he wouldn't pose much of a threat to the Big Daddy Pirates.
Now Shanks should not have any entanglements with the Celestial Dragons anymore. After all, this time he teamed up with the World Government to destroy Laugh Tale's eternal pose, but instead, the Red Hair Pirates ended up being surrounded and almost destroyed by the World government.
Shanks must be feeling very guilty, feeling like he was the one who caused the Red Hair Pirates' fall.
After meeting Lucky Roux, Uta's sad mood recovered a lot, and with Basire's comfort, she almost completely regained her good mood.
She included Saint Nusjuro, Fleet Admiral Akainu, and Vice Admiral Onigumo on her revenge list.
If given the chance, she must use the music demon to avenge the crew of the Red Hair Pirates.
If she can't beat the strong Saint Nusjuro and Akainu, then go deal with Vice Admiral Onigumo!
Killing a HQ Vice Admiral is quite simple with Tot Musica's strength.
As for the powerful Nusjuro and Akainu, her man Basire will deal with them, so she doesn't have to worry about them.
After Basire comforted Uta, he went to check on the recruitment progress. He wondered if Kuzan had persuaded the old lady, Vice Admiral Tsuru.
Among these Marine prisoners, only Vice Admiral Tsuru needs to be persuaded to surrender. It is estimated that Gion and Drake will also surrender if she does.
After all, these Marines are all directly related to Tsuru in some way or another, and they have a very good relationship.
…
Inside a prison in Hachinosu.
Kuzan is still persuading Tsuru based on the Hive Empire's new Marine.
"Tsuru, my allegiance is to the Hive Empire, and I am fighting for the civilians of all islands in the New World."
"I have found my path to justice thanks to Basire."
"The tax revenue of the Hive Empire is much lower than the heavenly gold the World Government affiliated countries have to pay."
"Moreover, Basire also allocated a lot of money to build water trains between islands..."
Kuzan tirelessly persuaded Tsuru, and he even told her and Gion the secret that Basire had found pure gold.
"Gion, if you join Basire's army, you might even get a pure gold ring of immortality."
Seeing the expressionless and unmoved Tsuru, Kuzan could only target Gion.
After all, immortality and eternal youth are the desires of many women.
"..."
Gion was indeed a little moved, but she didn't speak. She was headed by Vice Admiral Tsuru, but thinking of Basire, she sighed again.
That guy deceived her so miserably that he not only cut off her promotion path, but also tarnished her reputation.
After she was captured again, he has not shown any signs, and has not even looked at her.
This made her even more resentful.
However, she is indeed completely disappointed with the World Government. She will definitely not return to the Marines in the future. Even if she joins Basire's command or joins the Neo Marines, she will not be a Marine of the World Government.
···
At this time, the prison door opened and Basire walked in with a smile on his face.
"Kuzan, it seems that you are not saving your reputation."
Basire saw that Kuzan was still trying to persuade Vice Admiral Tsuru, and he immediately felt that this guy's IQ and reputation were half a point worse than Akainu's.
The appearance of Basire made Kuzan and Tsuru look at this New World master, this man who can pose a threat to the World government.
"Basire!!"
Gion looked at Basire with a complex expression on her face. Her tone contained one part resentment, one part entanglement, one part displeasure, and one part nostalgia.
"Gion, I've been a little busy these days, so I've neglected you."
Basire looked at Gion with a glint in his eyes. She finally fell into his hands. He can only say that Crocodile and Moria did a great job.
"Huh, it's normal to be busy. After all, you killed two of the Five Elders. I don't know which day you will be surrounded and attacked by the entire World Government army."
Gion said angrily, and she didn't know why she was saying such angry words now.
"Bahaha, the World Government doesn't dare to take action against me now, after all, my Pluton is not a vegetarian either."
"However, Vice Admiral Tsuru's granddaughter and Vice Admiral Garp have already infiltrated my territory."
"Vice Admiral Tsuru, you also know that the Marine hero Garp is so strong, do you mind if I use him and the Sword team as a test target for the Pluton battleship?"
"In fact, I also want to see if Vice Admiral Garp, who claims to be the one who captured the Pirate King, can withstand Pluton's attack."
"Did you know that a few days ago, I was shot with Uranus by Imu? It almost killed me."
"I hope Vice Admiral Garp and your Sword team can be as strong as me and survive the Ancient Weapon's attack."
Basire looked at Tsuru with a smile on his face and said, ignoring Gion's angry words.
Basire's words immediately changed the expressions of Tsuru and Gion, and even Kuzan's expression became serious.
After all, Garp is Kuzan's teacher, and he respects him a lot.
Did Basire really want to use Garp to test the cannon?
