Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.
It was another sunny morning, and when Marshal Warring States stood at his window and looked at the beautiful scenery of Malinfando, his heart felt extremely comfortable.
Just yesterday, Ain and Binz captured the great pirate Wang Zhi who escaped from the previous era, and forced Wang Zhi into the underwater prison. This meant that another sin of the previous era had been put to an end.
"Looking at you, you seem to be in a good mood?"
Early in the morning, Staff Officer He had already arrived at Warring States' office. Ever since she was young, the relationship between her and Warring States had been a little unclear.
After all, everyone knows each other's intentions, and Counselor He's husband passed away a long time ago. If they are together now, no one will object.
"Do you really agree with Luffy's decision? The military merit of killing the pirates Mihawk fell on Nami and Iska?"
There was a trace of doubt in Crane's eyes. Logically speaking, granting the military merits of those pirates to Luffy and the others would allow them to advance in rank faster. This is the treatment that a naval supernova should have.
Zhan Guo turned around happily. He's government affairs and intelligence processing abilities were quite good, but he still hadn't seen through some problems.
"The reason why Ace and the others showed off the military exploits of those pirates is, firstly, because of Iska's efforts to [defeat] Hawkeye, and secondly, because this military exploit is not of much use to them."
Walking to the tea table, Sengoku poured He a cup of tea, and then expressed his judgment, "A He, you should know that Luffy and the others are a bunch of thorns who can't take any time off. It's important to expect them to learn to behave themselves." impossible."
"But the navy won't let three young boys become generals."
Until the three generals retire and Luffy and the others have not fully grown up, no matter how much military success he wants from them, it will be in vain.
Therefore, it is better to delegate the extra military merit directly to Iska and the others who need it more. After all, Nami, Iska and Kerra are not wearing the admiral star yet.
"By the way, Luffy and the others called me to talk about Shanks' daughter. I think you need to have a good chat with Shanks."
Staff Officer He told the Warring States Period very seriously, that is the power of the song fruit that is enough to destroy the world!
Warring States nodded, he picked up the phone bug and was about to dial Shanks' number, but before he could do it, the phone bug rang first, which shocked Warring States.
After the phone was connected, Sengoku heard Shanks' slightly surprised voice.
"Marshal Warring States, have you always been by the phone bug? I just dialed and you answered it?"
Faced with Shanks' doubts, Sengoku hummed without further explanation, "What's the matter, Shanks?"
Shanks, who was located in the Queen of Spring City, nodded. He looked at the man in front of him who was eating noodles and smiled, and the corners of his mouth began to rise involuntarily. "If I say that I have recruited a strong man of the general level for the navy, can the navy give it to me?" What reward will I get?”
Boom!
There was a dull crashing sound from the other end of the phone, as if Sengoku's fist fell on the desk.
"Shanks, are you kidding me?"
In the marshal's office, Seng Guo's mouth opened wide, and the toad mirror on his face fell directly from the bridge of his nose, which shows how much impact he received.
"Admiral-level combat power, you mean you recommended a strong man in the opposition? Do you know what it means to be a naval admiral!"
"Superman-type Gravity Fruit Ability user, the great swordsman of the world, proficient in the secrets of Armed Color Haki and Wisdom Color Haki. He can even directly pull down meteorites in space through the combination of Seeing Color and the fruit ability. This is not even a general-level strongman. ?"
Listening to Shanks' description, Warring States kept sketching data diagrams in his mind. Before he could react, He Xian, who was standing by, couldn't sit still.
"Why does this sound so similar to the configuration of Golden Lion Shiji?"
The Gravity Fruit and the Piao Piao Fruit are both superhuman devil fruits of the same quality. To a certain extent, the Gravity Fruit can even be regarded as the superior of the Piao Piao Fruit. In addition to the two-color domineering secrets and the swordsmanship of the great swordsman, except for the lack of the overlord-colored domineering Besides, isn’t this the golden lion?
"If I remember correctly, the user with the gravity fruit ability should be a blind warrior, right?"
Although Yixiao rarely made any moves and spent most of his time wandering around the new world, this did not mean that the navy did not know him at all.
In fact, the Navy is quite concerned about those with powerful fruit abilities. In addition, CP has been completing the task of collecting Devil Fruits. Occasionally, the two parties will exchange information, so Yixiao's information is also on file at the Navy headquarters.
It's just that the Navy doesn't have much information about Yixiao, so it doesn't know his general-level strength at all.
"I smiled."
On the other end of the phone, Yixiao heard He mentioned himself. He said his name calmly, which matched He's information.
Sengoku was naturally extremely excited to gain a general-level combat power, but despite being excited, he didn't know how to arrange it.
If you don't know Yixiao's strength, then there will definitely be no problem in arranging for Yixiao to climb up from the rank of ordinary general. At most, he will be promoted through an exceptional promotion.
But knowing the strength of Yixiao, we can't let people slowly climb up from the bottom. This is definitely irritating people.
"This really posed a problem for me."
Warring States sighed, it was completely impossible for him to give up the top combat power of Yixiao, but the current navy really couldn't find a position where Yixiao was eye-catching.
After about half a minute, Sengoku felt hard, gritted his teeth, and directly made a promise to Yixiao who was far away in the Queen of Spring City, "Mr. Yixiao, after you come to the Navy Headquarters, I will arrange for you to meet Kizaru and the others. Let’s have a battle and after I know your strength, I will apply to the World Government and prepare a candidate seat for you as a general!”
Yixiao is much older than Luffy and the others. As long as he can not be weaker than the three generals in a head-on confrontation, then not many people will say anything about the airborne general candidates.
However, in this case, it would be almost impossible for Yixiao to be promoted to general, because he has no faction support.
"Wait a minute, Marshal Warring States, I have something to say first."
Shanks was greatly shocked by Sengoku's proposal, because even for a navy marshal, it is very difficult to add a seat for a general candidate. The so-called general candidate is a top strong man who can directly fill in if there is a problem with the general. .
After Sengoku and Zefa stepped down as generals, the huge navy actually had no general. If Aokiji and the others hadn't grown up quickly and took over directly, the navy would really have become a laughing stock on the sea.
Later, at the suggestion of the Warring States Period, the Navy added the special rank of general candidate, which was equal to that of lieutenant general, but higher than that of lieutenant general.
Directly promising a general candidate is the limit of the Warring States Period.
Yixiao quite recognized the sincerity of Sengoku's recruitment. If Shanks hadn't interrupted, he would have nodded in agreement.
After stopping a smile and speaking, Shanks told the story of the Queen of Spring City, and then a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes, "If what I thought is correct, Chief He Da, the investigation work of this department is not very good. Did it go well?"
He and Warring States were both silent. The factions in the headquarters were too complicated and intertwined. It was really not something that ordinary people could do to sort them out.
"The difficulty you feel is simply because the relationship is too messy. If a powerful person with no connection to the Navy joins the investigation sequence at this time, will it be possible to cut through the mess quickly?"
Shanks' voice lowered slightly, and after hearing his thoughts, Sengoku and He suddenly thought of a possibility.
Warring States immediately became anxious, "Shanks, don't talk nonsense. Although you can think about some things, you must not take a step forward! It's not your turn as a pirate to point fingers in the Navy's internal investigation!"
It is not absolutely impossible for a strange and powerful person to participate in the internal cleaning work of the Navy, because there is a position in the Navy whose job is to supervise the Navy!
That is the Navy Omatsu!
"Marshal of the Warring States Period, the sea is vast and the planet is round. What is impossible?"
Shanks chuckled lightly. If he dared to propose this idea, it meant that he already had a complete idea!
"After all, the world government is gone, isn't it?"
Warring States fell silent for a moment, silently thinking about the feasibility of this matter. Finally, he nodded, accepting Shanks' suggestion.
"By the way, Shanks, your daughter..."
"Marshal of the Warring States Period, if you want to ask about the Song Fruit, Uta has already obtained the power of the phantom beast. Now she can perfectly master the Song Fruit. If her strength is fully unleashed, she will even be stronger than me!"
Shanks directly blocked Sengoku's inquiry. When he heard that Uta had obtained the power of the phantom beast, Sengoku immediately realized that Qingshui Mo and Qianxue were supporting Uta, so he didn't ask any more. After reminding Yixiao that he could come to the Navy Headquarters for a visit, he hung up the phone.
"You can tell Luffy and the others about this."
Sengoku picked up the phone bug, and then he looked at Commander Crane, "Where are Luffy and the others now?"
"It seems that I went to the North Sea. I heard that one of Captain John's treasures was hidden in the North Sea."
······
······
North Sea, Mignon Island.
A heavy snowfall made this island look quite plain. Because it is located on a remote route, basically no one would come to this indifferent island except for pirates who are evading the pursuit of the navy.
Dies Barreiros valued the "quietness" here, so he used this island as a secret base for his pirate group to be stationed for a long time.
"Huhahahaha, I didn't expect that I could get such a rare treasure!"
In a dark green tent, Dies Barreiros looked at the Love Devil Fruit reflecting red light under the flickering lights, his eyes full of greed and desire.
As long as he trades this Devil Fruit, he can enjoy prosperity and wealth in peace for the next half of his life!
Dies Barreiros, who used to be a general in the headquarters, did not originally want to be a pirate, but it is really difficult to make money in the navy.
Dies Barreiros, who was born into a civilian family, had joined the Naval Academy because of his outstanding talent and was trained by Zefa, the principal of the Naval Academy at the time. He originally thought that he would become prosperous in the future and reach the pinnacle of life.
However, without any backstage background, he could only hold an empty military rank after leaving the military academy and had no real power at all.
Dies Barreiros, who saw the luxurious life of naval officers and nobles in his hometown, could not bear to live in such a miserable life in the future, so he resolutely rebelled against the navy and formed a pirate group.
Because he studied in the Naval Academy, Dies Barreiros's strength is quite good, at least there are not many people who can compare with him in the world.
When he returned to the North Sea with the robbed warship, the headquarters tried to arrest him many times, but he evaded him.
As for the base commanders in Beihai, in Dies Barreiros' view, they were just a bunch of freeloaders who only wanted to enjoy themselves, and they were not to be feared at all.
However, years of being on the run made Dies Barreiros feel tired. Whether he joined the navy or defected from the navy, he wanted to live a luxurious life.
Now that he is wanted, even if he can get money, he cannot enjoy it with peace of mind. Dies Barreiros decided to change the current status quo.
Originally, he planned to become the King's Shichibukai, so that he could legally plunder and not be hunted down. However, after weighing the gap between himself and the current Shichibukai, Dies Barreiros gave up. .
He is not a fool, and he cannot even become the King of the Seventh Warrior without fully mastering the two-color Haki, so he can only take a different path.
When he was studying at the Naval Academy, Dies Barreiros borrowed the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book from the headquarters. At that time, he was shocked by the estimated value of a Devil Fruit. Superman is a surgical fruit, and the World Government gave an estimate of its value. It’s five billion Baileys!
If he could find this Devil Fruit and trade it with the World Government, he might be able to get five billion Baileys and erase the wanted notice on him.
However, before his dream was over, the world government was gone!
Even if he could find the fruit of the operation, he still wouldn't be able to get rid of the bounty on his body.
However, I have to admit that Dies Barreiros is really lucky.
The World Government has been looking for the surgery fruit for who knows how many years, but failed to find it. As a result, Dies Barreiros wandered around the North Sea for two or three years, and he actually got the surgery fruit!
The moment he obtained the information about the surgical fruit, Dies Barreiros was already planning to contact the leader of the dark world. He originally wanted to contact the New World Government, but he didn't know whether the New World Government needed the surgical fruit. , and now the New World Government and the Navy wear the same pants.
He, a traitorous naval general, had better not get into trouble!
