CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 298: WRAPPING UP

Chapter 298: Wrapping Up

Her dealings with the World Government were probably about the cloning matter.

Whether Bakkin was coerced or cooperated with the other party, it was clear she had some understanding of the World Government’s virtues.

But Reiner didn’t care about this and continued to ask coldly:

"So?"

"So, I originally wanted Weevil to eat the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, kill Ace, and take his place!"

Miss Bakkin gritted her teeth and shouted, "As long as I can secure the position of a Sea Emperor! In the future, countless pirates will come to join us! I can run my own forces and slowly break away from the World Government’s control!"

"If it weren’t for your appearance!" Bakkin clenched her fists unwillingly.

Originally, she didn’t have such great ambitions. She just wanted to use Weevil’s strength to make a fortune after Newgate’s death.

Later, Weevil became a Warlord, and due to the death of the former Warlord, Doflamingo, she coincidentally started cooperating with Kaido.

The Donquixote Family was just a bunch of fools dominated by hatred. It was very easy to use them to take control of this huge industry.

She herself was not an ignorant person. Coupled with the increasingly smooth business, especially after obtaining the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, her ambition had grown.

"To play such a big game and offend so many people, you’re quite daring," Reiner said with a playful smile.

Under the threat of death, the truth of the Dressrosa incident was completely revealed from Bakkin’s mouth.

Her original plan was indeed very meticulous. She used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to lure Ace, while the Float-Float Fruit was used to cooperate with the World Government.

The moment the Whitebeard Pirates appeared, she would have Weevil immediately eat the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and make a move.

According to her, although Weevil only had the intelligence of a child, his strength was exactly the same as a young Whitebeard’s. As long as he obtained the power of the tremor, he could completely face Ace’s crew head-on.

Coupled with the combat power of the local Donquixote Family and the Marines, with CP0 lurking in the dark and waiting for an opportunity, this lineup was more than enough to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.

The World Government would be happy to take a shot at Ace without Bakkin even having to say anything.

And the main purpose of their cooperation was, naturally, that huge arms industry.

The World Government had long coveted this large piece of cake but was very wary of Kaido. Just right after this, they could push Bakkin and Weevil to the forefront to bear the pressure from Kaido.

Bakkin, on the other hand, would rely on the World Government’s resources and channels to run her business, and the profits would be shared by both sides.

At the same time, Bakkin could also rely on these arms and funds to develop her own forces and slowly break away from the World Government’s control.

Although both sides had their own ulterior motives, on the surface, it was indeed a cooperation of great benefit to them.

If it weren’t for Reiner and the others, the situation for the Whitebeard crew would have likely been a life-and-death one.

"Rounding up, that’s like saving Ace again," Reiner chuckled to himself.

The first division of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet has to be them. I’ll have to find a way to hint at it to them later.

The appearance of the Straw Hat Pirates was the biggest miscalculation for Bakkin and the World Government. First, they snatched the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, then they hooked up with the revolutionaries to cause chaos, and even joined forces with the Whitebeard crew to fight against the Marines.

With one side’s loss being the other’s gain, the combat power of the two sides had suddenly undergone a great reversal.

Now, the Donquixote Family was on the verge of collapse, two Admirals had been defeated one after another, and the defeat of the Marines was only a matter of time.

The hidden CP0 must have already reported the current situation back. They probably wouldn’t make a move and ask for trouble.

Reiner already had a clear idea of how the current battle would develop.

The fact that Bakkin didn’t dare to contact Kaido was also an unintentional great help to them. If the Beasts Pirates were to descend in this situation, the outcome would be hard to say.

"You’ve been in contact with the people from CP0, haven’t you?"

Reiner suddenly asked. "Do you remember the other party’s characteristics? Was there a guy with a pigeon on his shoulder?"

"A pigeon?"

Bakkin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. "I only contacted them by Den Den Mushi. I don’t know the guy you’re talking about."

"Hey! I say, I’ve told you everything you want to know! You should let this old lady go now!"

Bakkin looked up and shouted angrily, "The ones who want to get revenge on you are Doflamingo’s subordinates! I have no grudge against you!"

"Who says we have no grudge? Didn’t your foolish son just try to kill me?" Reiner teased.

"That’s because you stole our Devil Fruit!"

Mentioning this, Miss Bakkin became even more angry. In her rage, she kept tapping the ground with her cane. "Give back the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, you robber!!"

"..."

Reiner was stunned for a moment. He clearly hadn’t expected this old woman to suddenly throw a tantrum.

Thinking of that foolish Weevil, he suddenly became interested.

"Ahem, last question. If you answer honestly, I can consider not killing you."

Reiner’s expression turned serious. "Is that big fool your and Whitebeard’s son?"

"..."

The air suddenly fell silent. This time, it was Bakkin’s turn to be stunned. After coming to her senses, she immediately erupted, swinging her cane and smashing it at Reiner!

"Nonsense! Of course he’s my and Whitebeard’s son! Could he be your son instead!!"

Slap!

"And you’re not allowed to call him a big fool!!"

Bang!!

Reiner reached out, grabbed her cane, and threw her into a corner. Several dark shadows from under his feet transformed into swimming snakes and bound her, wrapping Bakkin up tightly.

Especially that chattering mouth.

He really had no grudge against Bakkin. The trap she had laid was not aimed at them at all.

He might as well just throw her to Marco and the others later.

As for the Float-Float Fruit, who on earth took it?

Reiner stroked his hair thoughtfully, stood up, opened the door, and left the room, carrying Miss Bakkin.

At the same time.

At the center of world power, sitting atop the Red Line, the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

In a bright hall, five figures, some standing, some sitting in various postures, were all, without exception, gathered around a small round table in the middle where a Den Den Mushi had just been hung up, their expressions solemn.

"It’s the Straw Hat crew again. To cause such a big commotion just after entering the New World."

The bald man in a suit with a two-pronged mustache, Saint Topman Warcury, couldn’t help but show worry:

"Another one from the ’D’ clan, and another user of that Devil Fruit..."

"Compared to Straw Hat, I’m now more concerned about that Black Snake Reiner."

Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, in a kimono and holding a longsword, said in a low voice, "Fujitora and Ryokugyu were defeated one after another. To have such strength just after entering the New World."

"If he is allowed to continue unchecked like this, there will be no one in this sea who can restrain him."

"That’s right. With his current strength, I’m afraid he will soon come into contact with powerhouses like Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and Red-Hair."

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said bluntly, "If his undead army becomes a major force, it could even possess combat power comparable to the World Government."

"What makes me more curious is his origin. Since the end of the war at Marineford two years ago, the CP agencies have been investigating him."

Saint Nusjuro frowned. "Strangely, they can’t find any background information at all, as if he appeared in this world out of thin air."

Hearing this, the other four couldn’t help but look over.

Having entered their line of sight, is there still someone in this world that the CP agencies cannot investigate?

"There are many suspicious points about this person. Have the CP organizations dispatch more manpower to investigate. He must be closely monitored."

"Since it has come to this, the cooperation with Buckingham Stussy is terminated. Let Sakazuki recall the Marines first."

"Mm. And about the matter of the Revolutionary Army appearing in Dressrosa..."

"CP0 will continue to search in secret. Try to bring back the Float-Float Fruit."

They had too little information on Reiner. They quickly moved past this topic and began to bring up other matters, one after another.

"Furthermore, regarding Charlotte Linlin’s tea party in Totto Land in a week..."
