In Buddha's Warring States Period, the wise general who commanded countless navies should theoretically have nothing to do with the little-known guy Li Ke is now.
But the strange thing is that they are actually involved.
"Marshal Sengoku saw your report of annihilating the Creek Pirates. Vice Admiral Garp happened to be there at the time, so he knew about you. Then Akainu Grand Prix noticed you for this reason and proposed that you join the navy. Become his subordinate, but Marshal Sengoku plans to let you enter the Navy Headquarters for training first."
Smoker puffed away smoke while telling what he knew. Although he has a small official position, he is a member of the Qing Pheasant faction, so for him, he can get information that many people don't know.
Li Ke suddenly understood what was going on, but he still shook his head at Smoker's invitation.
"The navy has too many restrictions. I still like to be more free. Bounty hunting suits me. I don't have to get up on time every day. I can do my own thing freely, and there is no boss to give you orders."
Smoker was not surprised by this result. Li Ke didn't seem to be a disciplined guy, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten along well with Li Ke.
But out of goodwill, he reminded Li Ke with a straight face.
"Then don't be too high-profile, otherwise you will get into trouble. The navy is not the only force on the sea. Sometimes it can be very troublesome."
Although the other party's words were rude, there was no malice in them. Based on the plot of the original work, Li Ke also understood what he meant.
"Solicitation by the World Government?"
Smoker did not answer the question, but took a long drag on his cigar. Many pirates in this world are scum who cannot control their desires, but there are also some who are forced by the world government to become pirates.
Some are bounty hunters who couldn't get the bounty and were beaten down instead, some are people who can't survive, and some are wanted for refusing the World Government's solicitation.
It can only be said that such people becoming pirates is a loss to the world, but there is no way. The authority of the World Government is absolute. Even if they are dissatisfied, they have no way to say anything and can only obey orders silently.
"That's why I don't want to join the Navy, Smoker."
Seeing that Smoker was unhappy about this, Li Ke waved his hand casually and almost laughed out loud.
Because the world government is too overbearing.
Not only are they overbearing in comics and anime, their overbearing qualities are also reflected in many places.
To be honest, if you don't agree to their solicitation, you are going against them. If you refuse them, if you don't have any connections, you will easily become a pirate.
Generally speaking, what stands out is that those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
But it is a pity that this attitude cannot make those who have strength be sanctioned by them, but can only make those who do not have much strength suffer unfair treatment.
And for the franchise countries, as long as you can afford the heavenly gold, which is the franchise fee provided to the world government, then there is no problem in whatever policy you make for your country. The world government will turn a blind eye and even help you fight the rebellion until you lose control of your own country.
At that time, you will be kicked off the throne by the world government, or become a puppet, and the world government will appear as a savior.
For those non-member countries, or the member countries that cannot afford the heavenly gold, although the World Government's superficial operations are only to withdraw the navy and no longer grant asylum, there is no need to think about what it will actually do.
Therefore, if the World Government says you are a pirate, you are a pirate. The only way to avoid becoming a pirate is to obey the World Government or join the navy.
"You guy... you should stay calm. If you don't provoke those big shots, you won't have any trouble."
Smoker waved his hand to Li Ke impatiently, indicating that Li Ke could leave, and he also walked towards the naval base, with no intention of saying anything to Li Ke again.
After all, Li Ke is not a navy, right?
"gone."
Li Ke didn't care either. Nami walked towards the port with a large bag of Bailey in her arms and a smile on her face, and picked up a new reward list.
"Hey, where are you going next?"
Nami, who was holding the money bag, looked at the tall Li Ke and couldn't help but ask. After all, she had promised Li Ke to follow him, and she didn't intend to live in a muddle.
"First get a boat, then recruit a cook, and finally pick up someone and that's it."
Li Ke didn't let Nami ask who to pick up, otherwise he would have betrayed her directly, so he continued talking immediately.
"I don't plan to build a boat that is too big. It will only be enough for seven or eight people. A boat that can be easily driven by two or three people is best. So do you have any recommendations?"
Nami did originally plan to ask Li Ke who he wanted to pick up, but after hearing Li Ke's question, she immediately started thinking.
"If it's a new ship and you plan to go to the New World, then it's best to go to the Capital of Seven Waters. If not, just buy a ship nearby."
She knew the waters of the East China Sea very well, but not the New World, so she was a little more cautious.
"The Capital of Seven Waters? Don't we have to go through Upside Down Mountain first?"
Li Ke thought for a moment, and then suddenly discovered an important thing, that is, how do people who are not pirates go to the Grand Line, or from other places?
"That's true, and it will be very troublesome to come back."
Nami also thought of this and nodded in agreement, because in her understanding, if you want to enter the Grand Line from the sea, you can only advance from the Upside Down Mountain, or you can take a navy ship.
Although the Red Continent is very steep and basically impossible to climb over, the World Government also has special waterways. As long as it has been investigated and reviewed, you can go to other sea areas through the Holy Land, and there are also special airlines to solve this problem. , using huge airships to take people to other sea areas.
Of course, these things are also controlled by the world government, and any pirate who thinks about these things will basically die.
Therefore, if you are called a pirate, you can only leave the Grand Line from Wufeng. After all, there is no way back to the Four Seas from the Upside Down Mountain. For pirates with average strength, there is no way back after entering the Grand Line. The reason why the Navy didn't directly blockade Upside Down Mountain.
Because instead of causing chaos all over the world, it would be better to let those pirates enter the Grand Line to kill each other, which can save a large part of the navy's strength.
"So we might as well pick up the people you want to pick up first, and then take the navy ship directly to the New World, if you really want to go."
Nami was still very concerned about the person Li Ke wanted to pick up. Her intuition told her that this person's identity was very important, so she turned the question around directly.
"After all, don't you have a good relationship with the navy? It's much easier if you ask them."
Li Ke's forehead hurts. To be fair, he also wants a good boat, but Upside Down Mountain is a huge threshold. This mountain with water flowing up is very dangerous. Luffy and the others in the animation also experienced it. It took a lot of hardships to get through.
Ordinary ships cannot pass there...
But buying a sturdy ship now is a big loss. No matter how good the ship in the East China Sea is, it will still be discarded in the new world.
"Are there not enough good shipyards in the East China Sea?"
When Li Ke asked this question, he got the answer in his heart, because the world government will not allow too powerful a shipyard in the East China Sea.
"No, most of the ships in the East China Sea are cargo ships."
Nami's answer was also decisive, and it was indeed the case. Most of the shipyards in the East China Sea manufactured cargo ships or cruise ships. Although there were warships, they were all expensive, and the quality was definitely not better than those in the Seven Waters Capital.
Li Ke immediately started to change the topic and looked at the leaflet in his hand.
"Then let's find some unlucky pirates, right? I think the Bucky Pirates are pretty good. This guy has robbed a few more villages, and the bounty has gone up a bit. It's a time when he's rich."
Bucky on the reward list was smiling very wildly, and he didn't mean to be low-key at all. Nami saw that Li Ke really didn't want to say who she was going to pick up, so she kept the matter in her heart for the time being. She glanced at Bucky's reward list, and then unfolded the map in her hand.
"Indeed, and judging from their trajectory, their next step is to head to Wanzi Village. With the speed of our ship and the wind direction during this period, we can catch up with them in two days."
Nami quickly made her own judgment. This is also one of the important responsibilities of a navigator: calculating a certain target based on the knowledge of navigation, the speed of the ship, local conditions, the currents in nearby seas, and the recent weather. Where it will go, where it must go, and when it will be replenished.
It can be said that as long as you have an excellent navigator, you can navigate the sea unimpeded and know where your enemies and friends will go and when and where they will fall.
This is also the reason why Li Ke must get Nami. A qualified navigator is of great help to navigation.
If Nami becomes a pirate, the most she can do is help Luffy guide the way and avoid the navy. But if she is by Li Ke's side, she can help Li Ke accurately locate the pirates who have exposed their whereabouts.
"That's him. Let's set off after a little supply!"
Li Ke made the decision simply and neatly, and Nami also agreed simply for the sake of the bounty. But just as they set sail and rushed towards the pirates from Rogge Town again, the news that Li Ke completely annihilated the Dragon Pirates was also spread with Smoker's report.
This news was like a magnitude 18 earthquake among the circles of pirates and bounty hunters in the East China Sea. Almost all pirates knew about the appearance of a powerful bounty hunter. The bounty hunters, especially Sauron, who almost had his future weapon taken away by Li Ke, also heard about Li Ke's name, saw the photo of Li Ke that was taken at some point, and saw the big hands behind Li Ke's back. sword.
Nokigao looked at Nami beside Li Ke who was speechless, sighed softly, and waited for Li Ke's return.
There were many things she wanted to ask Li Ke and Nami. After all, the two of them were so intimate in the photos, but now she could only wait.
"How did you two get together?"
Noqigao in Cocoa West Village had mixed feelings.
But those people in the East China Sea are not the only ones who are in complicated moods because of this report. There are also countless people on the Great Waterway who are in complicated moods because of this inconspicuous news.
"Along...Boss Aaron was killed!"
In the Fish-Man Island, the fish-man Hodi, who had the same idea as Aaron, looked at the news in the newspaper with his eyes wide open, and the other fish-people around him also had similar expressions.
"Li Ke! It was this human who killed the evil dragon boss!"
The fish people who were hostile to humans made a noise, and even went to look for Kai Xia Jinbei, who had just returned to the Fish-Man Island. After all, apart from the Fish-Man King, it was Kai Xia Jinbei who could help them take revenge.
But Jinbei just looked at the news of Aaron's death in silence and shook his head at the newspaper description of Aaron's actions over the years.
Of course he was sad when Aaron died and wanted revenge. After all, they had been friends for many years. But the things Aaron did were things he couldn't tolerate and were also huge stumbling blocks to his goals.
So those fish people who were looking for Jinbei in excitement did not get the news they wanted. Even the evil dragon's sister, Mrs. Charlie, who has the power of prophecy, refused to divine for the fish people the whereabouts of Li Ke, who killed her brother the evil dragon, because she, like Jinbei, believed that one day there would be peace with mankind. The idea of getting along is carried out.
Those radical murlocs felt angry about this, and some people left the murloc island directly because of this, wanting to seek revenge on Li Ke. But compared to these minions, the anger of a human being is the greatest threat to Li Ke.
"Xiaoba..."
Looking at the words "annihilate" on the newspaper and Hachi's rotting head, Rayleigh, the former Pirate King Roger's deputy captain, silently picked up his wine glass and couldn't help but sigh.
When he was young, he was saved by Xiaoba from drowning, so he said that he would protect Xiaoba and prevent him from being bullied. But it is a pity that he left because he became Roger's crew and failed to fulfill his promise.
Later, I found out that he had gone to the East China Sea, so I stopped looking for him. After all, the area in the East China Sea was taken care of by evil dragons, so Xiaoba would not be in danger.
But he didn't expect that when he learned the information about Xiaoba again, it would be the information that he was killed.
After putting down the newspaper, Reilly picked up the clothes on one side. Xia Qi, the proprietress of the tavern, saw him stand up and asked her question.
She knew Reilly's experience and commitment.
"Want to go out?"
Reilly nodded.
"Keep your promise a little bit."
Xiaoba was his savior after all, and he also made a promise, so he couldn't pretend that he didn't see anything.
It's unrealistic to wait for Li Ke to go here, so he is setting off.
Therefore, without knowing it, Li Ke is about to face the pursuit of one of the leaders of the old world and one of the ceiling figures in the world.
