Three days after the end of the war, five large warships arrived at Chigang, just below the Red Continent.
"Hey, look!" A resident living in Chigang pointed at the damaged warship: "Did the navy suffer a defeat somewhere?"
"Shh!" Another resident nearby immediately acted silently and whispered, "Keep your voice down, be careful not to be overheard by people with ulterior motives."
"Well..." The man who was speaking immediately covered his mouth and scanned the nearby streets with his eyes. He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no World Government officials or sailors nearby.
"I remember that about a week ago, twenty warships set out from Chigang..."
"Yeah..." Another person agreed, with a solemn expression: "Fifteen warships were lost, and we must have suffered an unprecedented defeat..."
"Tell me, which force is the navy at war with?"
"The only enemy that can make the navy suffer such a heavy loss is the Yonko Pirates..."
"That's right..."
Some sailors who were seriously injured and unable to withstand the turbulence temporarily stayed in the North Sea to recuperate. All other sailors returned to Red Harbor in the New World, took the elevator to the Holy Land, and then took the elevator back to Marineland in the Paradise.
"Back." Garp greeted Sengoku dejectedly.
"Where's Kizaru?" Warring States asked.
"Polusalino stayed in the Holy Land of Marinjoa and reported the war process to the Five Old Stars."
Warring States saw that Garp, who had always been heartless, was so depressed, and comforted him: "Thank you for your hard work."
Garp smiled bitterly and looked up at the ceiling. His eyes seemed to have traveled through time and returned to the battlefield three days ago: "The navy lost miserably in this war."
Warring States clasped his hands together and asked with a stern expression: "Can you tell me why the war was lost?"
"Warships, intelligence, and weapons are inferior to the Dawn Pirates in all aspects." Lieutenant General He sighed, and then said: "My wartime command is also far inferior to that of the opposite party, and I have been led by the nose."
"Huh?" Warring States was startled. He was a wise general with rich combat experience and knowledge. Even she was ashamed of herself...
Garp pointed out the most important issue: "The Dawn Pirates' warships have a long range and fast speed. We must develop a new type of warship to compete with them on the sea! Let Vegapunk design a ship that can A warship that competes with the Dawn Pirates in speed and power!"
Warring States looked troubled: "Dr. Vegapunk is now working hard to develop pacifists..."
"This is a fight for control of the North Sea!" Garp put his hands on the table, stuck out his head, and stared at Warring States with bright eyes: "The World Government has lost the New World, is it going to give up the entire North Sea this time! ?”
"..." After Warring States thought for a moment, he nodded and agreed: "I will report this matter to the Five Old Stars. No, I will definitely let them make the right decision."
Karp turned back and sat back in his chair, speaking with a solemn expression about the future trend of the world:
"The Dawn Pirates have a small number of ships, and the number of members is not advantageous compared to the navy. In the next year, Eric should not do anything too outrageous, but..."
"Once the Dawn Pirates are given enough time to develop, they will definitely become the number one enemy of the Navy Headquarters!"
"I understand." Warring States nodded: "It's the same as my guess."
Sengoku, Garp, and He talked for a long time in the office.
…
"Extra! Extra!" the man selling newspapers shouted loudly: "The navy, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Dawn Pirates are fighting!"
Morgans, who didn't mind the matter, immediately spread the bombshell news to the world after Eric agreed.
"What!?" Pedestrians on the road stopped and bought a newspaper.
"The Navy Headquarters dispatched twenty warships, led by Admiral Kizaru, to fight the Dawn Pirates in the North Sea!"
"The Dawn Pirates repelled the menacing attack of the Big Mom Pirates!"
"Is it true?" a man asked doubtfully: "These two wars seem to have happened on the same day!"
"Has the strength of the Dawn Pirates grown to such an extent!? Can they defeat another Yonko Pirates and fight against the Navy Headquarters at the same time?"
"Idiot! Didn't you see that there was only one admiral? And nine lieutenants. The Navy Headquarters has three admirals and nearly a hundred lieutenants! The Navy Headquarters did not dispatch all its troops at all!"
"You are the fool! Such tragic statistics...not to mention the death of three vice admirals, the casualties of more than 10,000 sailors, and the sinking of 15 warships. The navy has lost miserably!"
"you!"
"Don't make any noise!"
"The main task of the Navy Headquarters is to maintain the great shipping route. It is simply impossible to gather all the troops in the North Sea. Your idea is simply unrealistic!"
"..."
The Dawn Pirates' feat of defeating two powerful enemies in a row caused world economic news sales to skyrocket!
"Look!" A bounty hunter used his finger to pull out the wanted notice in the newspaper and waved it in the air a few times: "The bounties for several members of the Dawn Pirates have changed."
"Ha!" Another bounty hunter laughed: "You are not trying to get a bounty from the Dawn Pirates, are you?"
The bounty hunter immediately denied it: "Huh!? I don't want to die!"
"If you have a life to earn, you must also have a life to spend!" The people next to him shouted: "We are a bunch of miscellaneous fish, so we should catch those criminals with a reward of about 10 million!"
"Qi...Xiao Qi." Eric picked out a wanted notice and handed it to the child Qi Sin: "Look at this."
The Seven Sins of "Witch" Kagano has a bounty of 150 million Baileys!
"Huh?" Qi Zui took the wanted order and took a closer look: "Why would I..."
"Ahem." Qi Zui almost made a mistake. He cleared his throat and said, "Why would such a beautiful woman become a wanted criminal?"
"Because we are a pirate group."
"Ah?" Qi Zui widened his eyes and exclaimed, "You didn't tell me at all!"
Eric pointed to the erected pirate flag: "It's such a big pirate flag, haven't you seen it?"
Qi Zui covered his dizzy head and asked intermittently: "Aren't you the emperor?"
"In the eyes of the rest of the world, I'm just a pirate."
"..." Qi Zui almost tilted his head and whispered: "We have been doing things to repel the invading pirates. I thought we were good people."
"Alas, at least we feel that we are the righteous party."
"Where is the righteous party who is wanted!?"
"For example, revolutionaries?" Kuang San tilted his head and said, "In order to overthrow the corrupt government, revolutionaries will also be wanted by the government."
"Oh, this kind of situation also happens." Qixi nodded.
Eric pulled Seven Sins aside and asked, "Why don't you do the experiment?"
"Are you stupid?" Qizui said with an expression that looked like a fool: "If you want to truly become another person, you must observe the target's every move at close range, so that the fake one can be mistaken for the real one!"
"But, didn't you spend a lot of time with them when you were adults?"
"You don't understand!" Qi Zui waved his hand and said: "After three days of careful observation, I am now planning to interrogate others. Please don't come over! Otherwise I will sue you for cheating!"
Seven Sins ran away alone, leaving Eric and Kurumi where they were.
"Ala ala, I hope this young lady's psychological problem can be solved perfectly."
"Fake Witch!" Coming to a deserted room, Qi Sin's hand glowed faintly, and then her appearance gradually changed - after a few seconds, Qi Sin turned into a completely different person.
Dressed in pitch black, with a sweatshirt and a T-shirt on the upper body, hot pants and boots on the lower body, the Seven Sins transformed into Artoria wearing casual clothes.
After observing everyone's appearance and behavior, Qi Zui knew that the relationship between Artoria and Joan of Arc was not good, and Joan of Arc had no regard for the parties involved when speaking. Joan of Arc's sharp comments were very harmful to her weak psychological endurance. It is a kind of torture, but in order to win the bet, Qi Sin can only bite the bullet and find Joan of Arc.
"Huh?" Joan of Arc raised her eyebrows and smiled coldly: "Why, Lord Black Knight came to me specifically for a discussion today?"
"No." Seven Sins played Artoria perfectly, and replied with a cold expression: "I don't want to fight a guy who can only release explosive flames."
"You, a guy who can only release light cannons, have the nerve to criticize me!?"
"Don't worry about such boring little things." Qi Zui narrowed his eyes and asked: "Compared to this, what do you think of the new Xiao Qi?"
"Such a boring little thing?" Jeanne held back her anger and asked doubtfully: "You are actually interested in other people?"
"Don't worry!" Qi Zui asked vigorously, "What do you think?"
Seven Sins has grasped Joan of Arc's character well. Although she speaks viciously and sarcastically, she will immediately retreat when faced with tough questions.
"Wha, what's the matter?" Joan of Arc curled her lips: "Such a tough attitude."
Seven Sins took a step closer silently.
"That, yes, that new girl named Xiao Qi?" Jeanne's eyes drifted and she said casually: "I always feel very similar to the previous Kagano Seven Sins."
"...!" Qi Zui showed a shocked expression for a moment, thinking that he had been exposed. Then he quickly calmed down and asked, "Where does it look like?"
"After all, the color of hair and eyes are green, which is unusual." Joan of Arc shrugged and said, "I thought they were biological sisters."
"That's it." Qi Zui calmed down and continued to ask: "Then what?"
"Then?"
'You are a vicious woman, don't you always spew evil words? Why don't you mock me? Qi Zui snorted and closed his eyes and said:
"That guy named Xiao Qi looks ugly, right?!"
"Huh?" Jeanne looked at Qi Sin carefully, with a sarcastic smile on her face: "I think she is cuter than you."
"Huh?" Seeing the unexpected reaction, Qi Zui couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Are you envious of her skin? You zombie girl." Joan of Arc mocked with full force: "Her skin is much better than yours!"
"..." Qi Sin was greatly shocked and turned around to leave without saying a word.
"Huh?" Jeanne looked confused and shouted from behind: "Hey! Did you eat too much junk food and ruined your stomach?"
A few minutes later, the real Arturia happened to meet Jeanne in the corridor.
"You ate too much junk food and had to squat in the toilet?"
"Huh?" Arturia frowned at Joan of Arc and asked, "Are you itchy?"
"It seems that the physical problem has been solved." Joan of Arc suggested with a joking smile: "Let's go and settle our grudges at the training ground."
Arturia followed Jeanne without saying a word.
In the end, the training ground was completely destroyed by the attack of the two Noble Phantasms.
…
"Red Eyes, Wendy." This time, Qi Sin turned into Joan of Arc again and found the two people resting in the lounge.
"Sister Joan of Arc."
"Joan of Arc."
Wendy greeted cheerfully, and Chitong removed her mouth from the food.
"What do you think of the new guy?" Qi Zui asked first. Joan of Arc was quite famous in the team for her straightforwardness.
"Xiaoqi?"
"Yeah." Qi Sin, who plays Joan of Arc, said in the most vicious words: "Don't you think that guy named Xiao Qi is disgusting? When he first joined the team, he was as proud as a little princess. He is obviously an ugly monster..."
Nanami couldn't continue because she was stopped by Chitong's stern eyes. If she continued, Murasame, who was said to be able to kill with one hit, would fall on her.
"Don't talk about your companions like that." Chi Tong whispered slowly: "Besides, Xiao Qi's appearance is not ugly, she is very cute."
"Yeah, I also think Xiao Qi is cute." Wendy nodded repeatedly and said, "Sister Joan of Arc, what happened to you today? Why did you say such a thing?"
Chi Tong's eyes narrowed, and his face became serious, and he said: "Although Jeanne is always polite when speaking, she often criticizes other people's shortcomings so that their companions can make progress... Who are you?"
Qisu looked at Murasame who had unsheathed her sword, and the cold light reflected made her heart beat violently.
"It's definitely not Jeanne..." Chitong pushed Murasame away with her thumb and assumed an Iai-slashing stance.
Wendy also clenched her fists in a fighting posture.
"Wait..." Qi Zui waved his hands and backed away: "I'm not a bad person!"
"Wendy, catch her together!"
"good!"
"Alas!"
…
"Hahaha!" Eric laughed as he looked at the tied-up Joan of Arc.
Joan of Arc, played by Seven Sins, is ashamed and angry.
"She's definitely not Joan of Arc."
"Yeah." Chitong nodded in agreement: "Jane d'Arc wouldn't be so weak."
"Brother Eric, who is she?" Wendy was a little worried and asked, "What if someone else sneaks in?"
Eric asked, "Want to have your secret revealed?"
"I don't want it!" Qi Zui objected sharply.
"So Eric knows her..." Chitong was a little confused: "When will there be another member of our team who can transform into someone like her?"
"The answer to this will be revealed later."
"Okay." Chitong didn't ask any more questions, and then left with Wendy.
Eric smiled and asked: "What are the results of your investigation?"
"Damn it...!" The Seven Sins returned to their original appearance, the rope became loose, and they used the fake witch to turn the rope into cotton, glaring at Eric with their eyes:
"You must have told them my true purpose!" Qi Zui argued: "Otherwise, why wouldn't they think I'm ugly? You must have cheated!"
Eric put his hands on Seven Sins' weak shoulders: "Seven Sins."
"What, what's wrong?!"
"Your appearance is not ugly, nor is it disgusting." Eric said with a serious face and a calm voice: "If anyone dares to laugh at you, I will destroy him and his country together."
"This, this is unnecessary..." Qi Sin's body trembled.
