Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 138 Crocodile’s plan
When Bucky, Crowe, Luo and Xiaoba moved box after box of Moria's treasures to the Scary Ghost, while Perona was packing her luggage, Alita, Mikita and Porchi were Do something else.

The Terror Ghost penetrated the mouth of the Terror Barque and sailed through the water before docking at the shore of the island ship.

When Davy Jones personally led several people to invade the Mast Mansion, the Terror Ghost was also attacked by many zombies.

However, the Terror Ghost's own firepower, coupled with Michita and Porchi guarding the ship, made it impossible for them to come back.

Now, they are dragging the zombies beside the boat aside, piling them into a hill and preparing to burn them, including the original prisoner - Hilton, the human-faced bat.

Moriah took away Hilton's shadow and then released it. It returned to its original owner, and Hilton naturally became a dead bat without any movement.

After a while, a raging fire ignited in the mountain of corpses. Thick smoke rose into the sky like a raised finger. The stench made the girls cover their noses and leave.

Davy Jones placed his hands on the side of the ship, his cold gray and blue eyes silently watching the flames rising into the sky in the distance.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and Davy Jones knew that it must be Crocodile without turning around or "seeing, hearing, or coloring."

He remembered the rhythm of everyone's steps on the ship.

The Dreadwraith remembers it too.

"Krokdal." Davy Jones said, "As for what Big Bear said, there may be a big battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy Headquarters. How credible do you think it is?"

Crocodile glanced at Davy Jones's back and knew that the captain regarded him as one of his staff. Moreover, his identity was also suitable for answering this question.

He has certain connections with both parties involved in this possible war.

Crocodile was once the defeated general of "Whitebeard" Newgate, and was also one of the "Shichibukai" recruited by the Navy Headquarters. He has a certain understanding of both sides.

He did not answer immediately, but paused and stroked his fingers on the golden hook for a while before opening his mouth again.

"At the beginning, I really didn't believe that Newgate would be so stupid as to do such a stupid thing, because it was impossible for him to win. Even if he defeated the Navy Headquarters and snatched Ace back, his stronghold would be destroyed by the 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido and 'Big Mom' Lingling took the opportunity to take away most of it."

"By then, the Whitebeard Pirates will have suffered heavy losses and lost most of their territory. Countless enemies of Whitebeard will come looking for them. Newgate will face endless trouble. Therefore, this is an action that is completely worthless."

"However, Big Bear's words shook me. He said that the Whitebeard Pirates were gathering. Based on my understanding of Big Bear, he would not tell such boring lies, even if we are on opposite sides."

"I can only say that Marshal Warring States is indeed very smart. I believe that all the information about Newgate's plan to snatch Ace back this time was spread by him in advance. He just wanted to create such public opinion and force Newgate to I had to take action.”

"If he doesn't come to save Ace, then his image of 'benevolence and justice' for many years will collapse, Kozuki Oden will be mentioned again, and his relationship with his subordinates will be shaken. If he comes to save Ace, then the Whitebeard Pirates will either fall In the hands of the navy, it will either be swallowed up by the other 'Four Emperors'."

"No matter how Newgate chooses, he is destined to lose from the moment Ace falls into the Navy."

Crocodile slowly told the vicious purpose of Admiral Sengoku and nodded with approval.

Davy Jones asked again: "Why doesn't Whitebeard form an alliance with the other Four Emperors? Aren't they all pirates? The navy should be their common enemy, right?"

"No, as for the other 'Four Emperors', they are eager for 'Whitebeard' to start a fight with the Navy Headquarters immediately, so that they can reap the benefits."

Crocodile shook his head.

"If we form an alliance with 'Whitebeard' and attack the Navy Headquarters together, then all the fruits of victory will be taken away by the more famous 'Whitebeard', and the other 'Yonko' will not be willing to be a stepping stone."

Not to mention his former shipmates Kaido and Lingling, even Shanks, who now has a good relationship with Newgate, would not do such a thing.

Davy Jones' tentacles squirmed like his thoughts.

"I remember that you were defeated by 'Whitebeard'? You should really want to stand on the side of the navy and defeat the Whitebeard Pirates together, right?"

Crocodile really wanted to take revenge, but as a conspirator, he finally tolerated his personal hatred and rationally gave advice to Davy Jones.

"It is meaningless to directly participate in the battle between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates unless we can actually gain something. I think we should take this opportunity to seize Whitebeard's territory."

"No matter how big the appetites of the 'Four Emperors' Kaido and Lingling are, they can't swallow all the territory. There will always be some islands left. When the Whitebeard Pirates are dripping with blood, it's the 'New World' that will eat them. During a big meal.”

"Hmm...you don't seem to have mentioned the last 'Four Emperors'?"

Crocodile hesitated for a while, then expressed his inner evaluation. "'Red-haired' Shanks is a weirdo who cannot be treated with common sense, and he has a close relationship with Newgate, so he may not necessarily join in this blatant fight."

"It is more likely that he would block Kaido and Lingling in the name of protecting Whitebeard's rear in order to gain favor from Whitebeard's forces, and then gradually absorb and digest Whitebeard's legacy after the war."

Davy Jones looked at Crocodile.

"It sounds like you're quite pessimistic about the future of 'Whitebeard'."

"No matter what he does, he will lose a lot. It depends on what he chooses."

"So according to you, if we want to seize Whitebeard's territory, where should we choose first?"

Crocodile didn't hesitate at all this time.

"Of course it's the 'Fish-Man Island' right in front of you. From here, the 'New World' gradually radiates."

Davy Jones had originally planned to go to Fish-Man Island, but he still asked.

"Is there anything special about Fish-Man Island?"

Crocodile puffed out his chest, raised his golden hook, and smiled, as if he was holding a pearl of wisdom.

"Mish-Man Island and Upside Down Mountain are the two major throats of the 'Great Line'. We have strangled the main passage of many ships, and the benefits are huge. Fish-Man Island has a geographical advantage over Upside Down Mountain. , it is located in a trench 1 meters deep under the sea, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.”

"Historically, there have been several periods of extremely bad relations between the World Government and the Dragon Palace Kingdom on Fish-Man Island. However, no matter which time, the World Government failed to capture Fish-Man Island by force because the price was too heavy. Even if it was captured, It will be difficult to hold on to it in the future. This is exacerbated by humans’ racial discrimination against fishmen and merfolk.”

"'Whitebeard' Newgate was able to make Fish-Man Island his territory for many reasons, but two are the most important."

"The first point is that the 'Great Pirate Age' initiated by 'Pirate King' Roger has made Fish-Man Island miserable as it is invaded by pirates from all directions. It is in urgent need of powerful forces to protect it and maintain stability and order."

"The second point is that Newgate is familiar with Neptune, the current king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom. Neptune has helped Newgate. Emotionally, Neptune also trusts and accepts Newgate more."

Davy Jones became curious.

"Then why do you think we can take over Fish-Man Island?"

Crocodile glanced at Davy Jones's face. He couldn't speak directly, so he had to beat around the bush.

"Because you are destined by fate, Fish-Man Island will definitely surrender to you. If you want to compete for hegemony in the 'New World', you must have a territory, and Fish-Man Island is the best choice at the moment."

Davy Jones was noncommittal, and Crocodile couldn't see what he was thinking.

"Since you said Fish-Man Island and Upside Down Mountain are so important, why doesn't the World Government set up a naval branch on Upside Down Mountain or form an alliance with the Ryugu Kingdom?"

Crocodile shook his head.

"Perhaps because of arrogance, the 'Celestial Dragons' always live on the Red Earth Continent and live an extremely luxurious life in the 'Holy Land Marie Joa'. The sea water has never risen above the Red Earth Continent, so they don't worry about the sea. threats to their rule."

Fish-Man Island is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so how could it not be the case in Holy Land MarieJoa?
Miracles like Fisher Tiger's are rare, not to mention that he failed to penetrate deeply into the Holy Land of Mariejoia, otherwise it would be impossible to leave alive.

At this time, Arrita and others had burned the nearby zombies and returned to the ship with Bucky and others who had evacuated Moria's treasure.

They all talked about how much these treasures were worth. They had asked Perona, but there was no accountant on the terrifying barque, so she didn't know how much it was worth.

When the sky was gray and there was a glimmer of light, the Terror Ghost turned its bow and headed towards the open sea.

"Captain, where are we going this time?" Arrita asked, holding down the white hat that was almost blown away by the sea breeze.

Davy Jones replied: "Dive into the deep sea and let's go to Fishman Island."

　I suddenly thought of a question.

　　They all say "Momonosuke must die", but no matter what, his image is that of a child. If Davy Jones kills a child, I wonder if it will cause trouble such as reporting. How are other books handled? Woolen cloth?Somewhat curious.
