Chapter 67 Abandoned Shepherd and One Lifetime as Criminals
On the bustling sea.
The World Government and the Navy are constantly searching for the whereabouts of the Luo Ji Pirates.
Based on the situation after Garp's attack, the Luo Ji Pirates have probably already headed to Fishman Island.
That means the Luo Ji Pirates are very likely to appear near the Sabaody Archipelago and enter the Grand Line Paradise.
Of course, coated pirate ships could also appear in the waters between Sabaody Archipelago and Marineford.
In the original timeline, when the Whitebeard Pirates participated in the Marineford War, their sixteen divisions, forty or fifty pirate crews, and more than fifty thousand people all fought their way to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, while still covered in seawater.
The Whitebeard Pirates' flagship, the Moby Dick, even stormed into Marineford's inner harbor.
These coated ships can navigate a rather large area.
The exact location where it breaks out of the sea is almost impossible to determine.
So now, even though the Navy has dispatched powerful forces such as Aokiji Kuzan, Iron Fist Garp, Momousagi Gion, and Chaton Kake.
It is still impossible to control the entire sea area.
If the Luo Ji Pirates had just emerged from the sea, they would summon a bird to fly away in the sky.
The navy had absolutely no way to deal with it.
Unless the Luo Ji Pirates are really that unlucky and happen to run into Aokiji Kuzan and Iron Fist Garp.
Otherwise, if they encounter areas patrolled by Momousagi and Chaton, they still have a very high chance of escaping capture.
Because of the Battle of Mystria.
Everyone knows that without an admiral-level expert, they are no match for the Luo Ji Pirates.
Even top-tier elite lieutenants like Momousagi and Chaton couldn't defeat Luo Ji and Yamato.
If it weren't for Kizaru protecting Dr. Vegapunk on Egghead Island, Akainu would be keeping an eye on the potential conflict between the Beasts Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates.
Perhaps both of these admirals will be recalled by the Celestial Dragons to join forces in capturing Luo Ji, this god-slaying bastard.
However, the Five Elders still dispatched the Knights of God, which is quite rare.
No one can kill a Celestial Dragon and get away with it.
Only the Knights of God have the right to judge and execute Celestial Dragons.
The World Government and the Marine Headquarters mobilized so many powerful individuals and forces that all the major powers and pirate crews on the Grand Line obediently went into hiding.
They were terrified of becoming victims of this massive hunt.
Even many rookie pirate crews that were about to arrive in the Sabaody Archipelago sought refuge on islands.
None of the Seven Warlords of the Sea on the Grand Line dared to be presumptuous or arrogant.
Gecko Moria remained holed up in his Devil's Triangle, while the Pirate Empress suspended all her expeditions and retreated to Amazon Lily in the Calm Belt.
Hawkeye Mihawk chose to leave his home island of Kraigana and wander the world.
Only Crocodile was significantly affected.
Mystria and Sabaody Archipelago, both serving as transit points for goods in the underground dark world, are facing major problems.
This resulted in Crocodile's weapons purchases for the rebels being temporarily cut off.
The Beasts Pirates even stopped selling Seastone.
I've heard some rumors that Kaido's Seastone mine was raided by that guy Luo Ji.
Even the World Government and the Navy are now unable to receive Seastone cargoes.
The price of sea stone has recently increased more than tenfold.
This makes the already expensive sea stone even more expensive.
···
Alabasta, the Rain Land.
"This guy has made a mess of the world."
Crocodile, munching on a cigar, was somewhat annoyed by the arrogant Luo Ji Pirates.
These guys interfered with some of his plans.
The world government and naval forces were mobilized and martial law was declared for more than a week.
At this rate, he'll run out of the rain-making 'dancing powder' he bought in the underground dark world.
The weapons and supplies for the hundreds of thousands of rebels are also a major problem.
"Gol D. Law is really bold. He caused a ruckus in Kaido's territory, killed a Celestial Dragon, and offended all the Four Emperors and the World Government."
Nicole Robin felt that Luo Ji's situation was a hundred times worse than her own, the son of the devil.
As expected of the legendary D clan.
"This kid is worth so much money. If I could get him, do you think the Celestial Dragons would just give me Alabasta if I wanted it?"
Crocodile suddenly laughed. If Alabasta hadn't been one of the member states, the Nefertari clan would still be one of the Twenty Kings.
He didn't need to scheme so much; he could have just seized power like Doflamingo.
It was precisely because he feared the attitude of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons that Crocodile slowly began to seize control of Alabasta, step by step.
First establish your own reputation, then undermine King Cobra's prestige, and use the rebel army to overthrow the rule of the Neferutari clan.
"If you think you can handle those two monsters, Yamato and Ragi, then you might want to give it a try."
Nicole Robin neither objected nor agreed, but a guy who could make such a ruckus at sea was no ordinary person.
If Crocodile were to make a move, he might end up getting himself killed.
I heard that the Luo Ji Pirates gave Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a huge loss in Dressrosa.
"Fine, let him go!"
Crocodile paused for a moment, biting his cigar. He needed to continue to be patient until he obtained the Ancient Weapon Pluton.
Once he has Hades, he'll blast these eyesores to smithereens and then kill that bastard Newgate with his white beard.
To avenge his deep-seated hatred.
Nicole Robin glanced at Crocodile, then left the guy's office, a flicker in her eyes.
Fortunately, Crocodile wasn't that arrogant, otherwise Robin would have had to find a way to leave.
She didn't think Crocodile was a match for the Luo Ji Pirates.
One Yamato would probably be enough to destroy Crocodile.
Robin felt that Luo Ji was even more terrifying than Yamato.
This was her personal intuition.

Nine Snake Island - The Palace of the Women's Kingdom
"You actually dared to kill a Celestial Dragon. I hope you don't die at the hands of the World Government so soon."
Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, looked at the newspapers and bounty posters with a strange expression in her eyes.
However, out of fear and apprehension towards the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, she did not believe that the Luo Ji Pirates could escape the World Government and the Navy's pursuit.
The power controlled by those scum is simply too great.
So powerful that even the Pirate Empress felt despair.
···
At this moment, on the seabed, a coated pirate ship is slowly rising.
"Brother Dai, Brother Yu, we really just need you to protect us. We won't ask you to attack the island or anyone else."
Luo Ji was trying to convince the two giant sea kings to protect them and help them if they encountered any danger.
After all, if they were attacked, these two sea kings couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
If there's no danger, then it's good to show off in front of others.
Let the world know Luo Ji's identity as the 'Sea King'.
He's a legendary figure who can summon giant sea kings.
With this title, those powerless strongmen all regarded Luo Ji as a super potential stock.
You should know that Huang Mu, a police officer from the South China Sea Taya Kingdom, is currently imprisoned because of a certain noblewoman and is enduring three years of imprisonment without food.
He was the captain of the garrison of the Cang Kingdom on the Great Sea Route. After the country was destroyed, he became a major war criminal. Now he has ended up in the Twin Snake Island Casino in the West Blue. Because he lost money, he was "forced to sell himself" and become a casino bodyguard.
When the global conscription began, the World Government, which possessed all kinds of intelligence, rescued Aramaki from prison and redeemed him from life in a casino, and specially recruited these two 'criminals' with strong combat capabilities.
