Chapter 120 Unfortunate Hubbard
As if to make Seti give up completely, Lieutenant General Duran simply told him all the information he knew:
"When Rebrock was found, his body was covered with grid-like scars and stab wounds, which were obviously scars caused by a violent struggle after being captured with some kind of net-like weapon.
Rybrook was good with knives, and ordinary iron nets could not do anything to him. Therefore, the medical examiner and prosecutor who participated in the autopsy unanimously believed that the murderer who killed Rybrook was a user with the net fruit ability of the Superman-type Devil Fruit.
Currently there is only one known user with the Net Fruit ability, and that is the former Shichibukai Beverly Hubbard."
Hearing this name, Seti seemed a little confused. He had traveled through time for five or six years, but he had never heard of such a person in the Shichibukai?
"Beverly Hubbard? Why have I never heard this guy's name?"
After hearing Seti's question, Lieutenant General Duran explained:
"This guy was a Shichibukai almost eight or nine years ago, and his time as a Shichibukai was very short. It's normal for you young people not to know.
Judging from the time, that guy should be the Shichibukai who lived at the same time as Sand Crocodile Crocodile. This guy is not famous, but because of his extremely difficult ability, he has always given the World Government a headache.
Therefore, not long after the Shichibukai proposal was passed, the World Government sent him an invitation letter, but not long after this guy became a Shichibukai, someone took away his qualifications as a Shichibukai."
Co-author Before he traveled through time, this guy's Shichibukai title had already been taken away by someone. No wonder he had never heard of this person.
As soon as he thought about this, Seti couldn't help but feel curious:
"Who on earth stole his Shichibukai title?"
Lieutenant General Duran glanced at Seti and spoke an answer that was both unexpected and reasonable:
"'Hawkeye' Joracol Mihawk, who is known as the world's greatest swordsman, is also unlucky. You should have heard that he is called by today's media as 'the most promising person to become the new world's best swordsman."
The Fourth Emperor’s red-haired Shanks, right?”
Hearing the name Shanks, Seti nodded in confusion. Why does this matter involve Shanks, who is about to become the Yonko?
Lieutenant General Duran continued after hearing that Seti knew Shanks:
"Red Hair went to the East China Sea about five or six years ago, and for some reason lost an arm in the East China Sea.
When Hawkeye heard that Shanks had returned to the Grand Line from the East China Sea, he originally wanted to greet the red-haired man and have another sword duel with him.
But when he saw the red-haired man, he was filled with joy and found that his old rival, who had always been evenly matched with him, actually lost an arm in the East China Sea. This made Hawkeye extremely angry.
It was in this angry situation that his boat encountered Hubbard, who had been dominating the paradise. The result of this battle is as you see it now.
Hubbard was defeated by Hawkeye, and his life or death was unknown, but Hawkeye who defeated him took over his position and became the new Shichibukai."
After hearing what Lieutenant General Duran said, Seti couldn't help but be amazed.
Mihawk's operation can only be said... After hearing this, Creek called him an expert!
Seeing the weird smile on Seti's face, Lieutenant General Duran thought it was Seti who thought Hubbard was vulnerable after hearing that Hubbard was defeated by Hawkeye. With this thought, he hurriedly said:
"That's why I can't let you participate in this battle. Although Hubbard was defeated by Hawkeye, it doesn't mean that he is weak.
The Shichibukai is the third largest force on the sea formed to balance the pirate uprising. It is not just a simple person who can qualify as a Shichibukai.
It would be fine if the person who killed Rebrock was just a small character who ate the regenerated Net Fruit, but if the person who killed him was Hubbard, the former Shichibukai, then things would be very troublesome.
Don't talk about you then, even I will have a hard time ensuring my own safety."
Lieutenant General Duran thought that his words would be able to persuade Seti to retreat, but he never thought that Seti still did not intend to change his mind after hearing these words:
"If you, Lieutenant General, can't guarantee your own safety, then I should help you. Otherwise, if something happens to you, Lieutenant General, what will Timid and his mother do?"
But the problem is that if you make a mistake, I, as a lieutenant general, will end up as a lieutenant general!
Lieutenant General Dulan complained like this in his heart, but after all he couldn't think of any good way to stop Seti, so he could only say with a headache:
"If you insist on participating in this operation, it is not unlikeable, but before that you must promise that after arriving in Musa Kingdom, you must obey me in all actions."
Hearing what Lieutenant General Duran said, Seti naturally nodded his head.
As for whether he will change his mind after arriving in the Musa Kingdom...that will be decided at that time.
After confirming Seti's joining, Lieutenant General Duran told him a lot of specific plans for going to the Musa Kingdom. After talking about these plans, the sky was getting dark.
After leaving the G4 branch, Seti was invited to the home of Lieutenant General Duran to participate in their family dinner.
A dinner was held for both the guests and the host. Early the next morning after the dinner, Lieutenant General Duran took Seti on board a merchant ship bound for the Musa Kingdom.
Because there were many subordinates of underground forces concentrated in this auction, Lieutenant General Duran did not dare to alert the enemy, so he could only secretly go to the Musa Kingdom with Seti and a few of his subordinates disguised as merchant ships.
On the way to the Musa Kingdom, Seti and others would encounter a pirate ship with a large bounty on almost every distance they traveled. The people on such a ship were always on tenterhooks, which also made Seti feel a little worried.
However.
No wonder the sea area where the G8 branch goes to the G4 branch is so safe. It turns out that the big and famous pirates have gathered in the G4 sea area to sell their stolen goods or participate in the auction.
Perhaps it was because the pirate ships were busy rushing to Musa Kingdom to participate in the underground auction. Although Seti and others did not take the warship, there were still not many pirate groups to attack them.
Most of the pirate groups seemed to be coming and going in a hurry, which made Seti and Lieutenant General Duran frown for a while.
With so many pirates concentrated in the Musa Kingdom, if things get too big and these pirates take advantage of the chaos to loot the Musa Kingdom, the Musa Kingdom will be in serious trouble.
It seems that the next action needs to be done carefully and carefully.
