- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 338
At this moment.
Chen Ye was strolling down the street.
The street was in chaos!
Countless people had already heard that the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy, had attacked a Celestial Dragon, and that the Navy warships and an Admiral were on their way.
Most of the people on this island, aside from a few local residents, were outlaws.
Pirates, bounty hunters, human traffickers, and the like!
These people were naturally fearful of the Navy and the Celestial Dragons.
So.
Upon hearing that a Marine Admiral was on the way, they all panicked and scrambled to set sail and escape the island.
At this time, the only ones who could remain calm were probably the Supernova pirate crews.
As Chen Ye walked along the road, he encountered quite a few Supernova pirate crews, but he wasn’t interested in engaging with them.
He was busy thinking through the details of his plan.
If all three Marine Admirals showed up, he definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against them, even with the trident. It was impossible to take on three Admirals at once!
The Admirals, as the highest combat force of Marineford, had each reached the pinnacle of power in the pirate world.
Even the man known as the strongest in the world, “Whitebeard,” couldn’t take on all three Admirals at once!
Chen Ye admitted to himself that he hadn’t reached Whitebeard’s level yet…
Especially Admiral Aokiji—his ice abilities posed a significant threat to Chen Ye’s trident!
Aokiji was someone who could even freeze a tsunami!
So, Chen Ye had to think of a way to defeat them one by one.
“If I remember correctly, in the original storyline, the Admiral dispatched for this incident was Kizaru, right? Then I’ll start with Kizaru!”
In Chen Ye’s hand was a wooden box.
Inside the box, of course, was the head of “Saint Charlos”!
This was a greeting gift for the Navy.
Up ahead.
On the side of the road, a strange-looking young man was sitting on a bench, fiddling with his tarot cards.
This young man had long, shoulder-length golden hair, distinctive eyebrows, and a zombie-like face devoid of any expression.
Seeing this young man, Chen Ye, familiar with the plot, immediately recognized who he was.
Captain of the Hawkins Pirates: Basil Hawkins!
The Straw-Straw Fruit user!
One of the Supernovas.
What impressed Chen Ye most was Hawkins’ strong divination ability, which seemed to truly have the power to predict the future.
“Captain Hawkins, the Admiral will be here soon. We should hurry and leave!” A pirate urged beside Basil.
“No need to panic!”
Basil drew a card, his zombie face remarkably calm, and said, “We won’t die today!”
Chen Ye suddenly became interested and walked toward Basil.
“Basil Hawkins!” Chen Ye said with a smile, “I’ve heard your divination skills are quite impressive. Could you do a reading for me?”
Before Basil could speak, his pirate subordinate immediately shouted at Chen Ye, “Hey! Who do you think you are? Our captain doesn’t just give readings to anyone! Get lost…”
Chen Ye glanced indifferently at this pirate and released a small amount of Conqueror’s Haki.
Instantly, the shouting pirate rolled his eyes and collapsed.
Basil, standing as the captain, had about a dozen pirates behind him.
Seeing this scene, the pirates were all shocked.
“Hey, Skoll, what happened to you?”
“Damn it! What did you do to Skoll?”
Basil suddenly spoke, “Everyone, stand down!!”
His voice was still calm but carried an irresistible authority over his subordinates.
The pirates immediately shut up.
Then.
Basil turned his gaze to Chen Ye, a hint of seriousness appearing on his face.
“What would you like to divine, sir?”
Chen Ye smiled and said, “I want to know if I will face any danger to my life in the next five days.”
Hearing this, Basil began to shuffle his tarot cards in the air.
His movements were slow and deliberate, without any startling phenomena, making him look like a mere charlatan…
Soon enough.
Basil drew a card, which naturally revealed the result of Chen Ye’s divination.
Looking at the card’s omens, Basil calmly said, “You are not marked for an early death; there will be no danger to your life in the next five days. However, if you do not rely on external forces, it will be difficult to achieve your goals.”
Hearing this, Chen Ye frowned.
Rely on external forces?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Ye’s mind…
“Basil Hawkins! Thank you for your divination and advice!” Chen Ye smiled.
“You’re welcome!”
Basil remained as calm as ever. “It is my honor to serve a strong individual like you.”
Chen Ye nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
As Basil watched Chen Ye’s back, a tarot card in his hand suddenly caught fire.
“A dire omen! This island will become very dangerous soon; we shouldn’t stay here for long…” Basil muttered to himself.
“Captain, who was that old man? He hurt Skoll; are we just going to let him go?”
“Mundo!!”
The pirates: “???”
Ten years had passed since that incident, and these pirates had long forgotten the name “Mundo!”
Basil said calmly, “Ten years ago, Mundo disguised himself as a Marine soldier, participated in the Navy’s internal competition, and took second place. During the award ceremony, he killed a Celestial Dragon and declared: ‘I will kill all Celestial Dragons…’”
Upon hearing this, all the pirates around turned pale with fear!
Basil continued, “Later, Mundo successfully escaped and was given a 2 billion Berries bounty by Marineford. He then vanished without a trace… Who would have thought, ten years later, he would appear again.”
The pirates beside him were already pale and looked terrified.
The great incident from ten years ago was known to everyone!
In the minds of all pirates, the name Mundo was synonymous with a terrifying, ruthless figure!
He dared to kill a Celestial Dragon right at Marineford; who else in the world would have the guts to do that?
Recalling how they almost clashed with the legendary Mundo, these pirates all felt a deep sense of dread…
At that moment, Basil stood up and said calmly, “If Mundo is here, it will definitely bring about a war with the Navy. Let’s leave!”
“Yes, yes, the captain is right. Let’s go quickly!”
A group of pirates quickly followed Basil Hawkins toward the port.
…
Chen Ye was in high spirits.
He didn’t expect that asking Basil Hawkins for a divination would yield such an unexpected result.
“This Basil Hawkins, though not strong in combat, certainly has some real skill in divination!”
“Rely on external forces… I should indeed do that. Perhaps, there’s a chance to overthrow Marineford…”
With that thought, Chen Ye’s eyes filled with excitement.
As for the impact on the “Marineford War,” which is the third phase of ‘One Piece,’ without Marineford—well, that was no longer Chen Ye’s concern!
“According to the current timeline, Whitebeard Pirates’ Second Division Commander, ‘Ace,’ should have already been sent to the Navy’s prison by Blackbeard. With Akainu’s temperament, the date for Ace’s execution has likely been set, right? Whitebeard must have received the news and is preparing to rescue Ace, which will lead to the upcoming Marineford War!”
“If I were to send someone to inform Whitebeard now, would he come to help me?”
“To rescue Ace, I believe Whitebeard wouldn’t miss such an opportunity!”
As Chen Ye pondered this, a newspaper lying on the ground caught his attention.
On the newspaper, Marineford had indeed declared that on XX day, they would publicly execute “Fire Fist” Ace!
Picking up the newspaper, Chen Ye immediately smiled.
“This is a rare opportunity. Whitebeard, will you come?”
