One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 249
New World, Hyakka Island, Grims
On the second day of Locke’s return, he called Jin and Wéisà for a meeting in the conference room. During the months when Locke lost contact with the New World, many matters were awaiting his decisions.
“Wéisà, J?n, I’ve heard that many foolish pirates attacked our territory during my absence, and you’ve given them destructive punishments. Well done.” Locke first acknowledged the performance of Wéisà and J?n during his absence.
“Ah, it was the least we could do.”
“Locke, those foolish pirates are nothing to worry about for us.”
“Now the pirate crews’ executives have dispersed, guarding various important islands. But the urgent matter is the dangerous ideology spreading throughout the entire Federation.”
J?n calmly explained the level of danger concerning this dangerous ideology to Locke. After J?n finished speaking, Lox lightly tapped on the conference table. “Well, forget about those guys. The Federation we, Lox’s Pirate Crew, rule is still quite good. If any reckless fools want to challenge us, I don’t mind showing them what the hell looks like.”
After contemplating briefly, Lox decided not to dwell on the Revolutionary Army. The current Federation is almost the most peaceful and prosperous nation in the world. He doesn’t believe reckless individuals are tired of their good lives and want to cause trouble.
“Alright, what has the Big Mom Pirates done to us recently?” Regarding pirate crews, both Wéisà and J?n had gloomy expressions. With the opening of the Great Pirate Era, all-powerful pirates had begun to act. They waged various wars in their pursuit of pirate supremacy. The entire New World was almost engulfed in chaos.
As one of the Great Pirates in the New World today, the Big Mom Pirates, founded by the Charlotte Family, had no intention of staying quiet. Charlotte Linlin, the queen of the Charlotte Family, attacked several islands under the Locke Pirate Crew’s control because of her desire.
She completely disregarded that the Lox Pirate Crew and Big Mom Pirates had a marital alliance. She used cruel methods to directly occupy the islands, killing the Locke Pirate Crew members stationed there.
This event had put the Locke Pirate Crew and the Charlotte Family on edge. Several pirate captains were brutally killed in negotiations with Charlotte Linlin. This made the captains under the Locke Pirate Crew extremely angry.
However, because Locke, the captain of the Locke Pirate Crew, was not on the islands, they suppressed their anger and waited for Locke’s decision. Wéisà looked at J?n, then at Locke, and then reluctantly spoke, “That Charlotte Linlin, she said she fell in love with the sweets produced on those islands.
Furthermore, she claims those islands don’t belong to our Locke Pirate Crew because they are not in the Aetworth Sea.”
“However, those islands have long been included in our sphere of influence due to their abundant mineral resources.” Locke nodded in understanding. He was aware of those islands. Although they were not in the Aetworth Sea, they were near the Totoland Sea, controlled by the Charlotte Family. However, this was not a valid reason for the Charlotte Family to claim ownership.
Especially since those islands were rich in iron and copper ore resources, these resources could bring tremendous wealth to the Locke Pirate Crew.
Lox lightly tapped the conference table and contemplated for a while.
After a while…
“Since Charlotte Linlin started it and turned hostile, there’s no need to maintain a friendship with her. Notify all our pirate crews to assemble in the Totoland Sea, apart from essential defense forces.”
“Additionally, have the officers stationed on the various islands also head to the Totoland Sea.”
“By the way, there’s no need for Sh?n Píng to participate in this battle. Let him lead the Fishman Unit to guard the Aetworth Sea and ensure the safety of that region.”
“Since Charlotte Linlin wants to start a war, we, the Lox Pirate Crew, can’t afford to back down.”
Upon hearing Locke’s words, both J?n and Wéisà became excited. They were not the type to be timid or afraid.
“Locke, let me go as the vanguard.” J?n looked at Locke seriously.
“Haha, if you want to, go ahead. With your strength, aside from Charlotte Linlin, only Charlotte Katakuri from the Charlotte Family can give you a challenge.” Locke readily agreed to J?n’s request.
“Ah, then I’ll inform everyone right now.” Wéisà didn’t say much and had no interest in competing with J?n for the vanguard role. With his lazy personality, he’d prefer to stay in Grims and work on his herbal remedies.
The meeting of the three individuals quickly concluded. Under Locke’s orders, the entire Locke Pirate Crew swiftly sprang into action. After receiving the notification, numerous pirates eagerly set sail for the Totoland Sea.
They couldn’t wait to take on the members of the Charlotte Family. On the edge of the Petworth Sea, on a particular island. Several captains under the Lox Pirate Crew excitedly instructed their crew members to collect various supplies and load them onto the ships.
“Chichichichi, we’re finally going to take on that woman, Charlotte Linlin! I’ve been waiting for this moment!” A pirate captain with shifty eyes, a face resembling a rat with whiskers, dressed in a well-fitted suit, of short stature, and looking somewhat awkward, licked his dagger while expressing his excitement.
“Hmph! Hamster, tone down your excitement. You look disgusting.”
“But you’re right; I’ve been itching to take down those Charlotte Family members for a long time! How could that woman dare to kill Beffery? He was one of my best brothers!” Standing at over seven meters, a tall and furious giant roared in anger.
“Hehehe, enough of that, Willy. Isaiah, let’s read the situation. If we can wipe out the Charlotte Family this time, our Lox Pirate Crew will become the largest pirate crew in the New World, controlling nearly a third of the territory. Our status will surely skyrocket!”
A thin and tall man covered in scars, bandages wrapped all over his body, wielding a massive blood-red scythe, spoke with an eerie smile. “Hmph, Isaiah, that’s if you can survive this battle.” Isaiah retorted coldly, showing no concern for his friend’s face.
“Chichichichi, alright, you two, stop wasting time here. Locke already said that all the islands taken in the Totoland Sea can be freely managed by those who take them!”
“I’ve heard that the Totoland Sea has one of the most diverse collections of species in the entire sea.”
“Heh, I can’t wait to taste the beautiful women from all those different races!”
