I only want to be a Shichibukai when I have Bengyu

"Um, do you need to avoid it?"

Jinbe asked bravely.

He was quite curious about what the Navy wanted to do with the Black Prince, but he knew very well that his identity was awkward. After all, the Shichibukai was just a supernumerary organization recruited by the World Government, which was completely different from the Navy, a serious direct lineage of the three armed forces. , there are many secrets that they have no right to know at all.

"It's okay, it's nothing that needs to be kept secret. Just sit down, Jinbei."

Garp waved his hand carelessly.

Jinbei sat back down on his buttocks that had just stretched out. He glanced at the rear admirals, whose expressions were not very good. They were obviously angry and dare not speak out. He did not take the dissatisfied looks of these few into his heart at all. This group of Among the navy, only Garp could make him obey his orders.

Those three rear admirals,

To tell the unkind truth.

Jinbei can beat them with just one hand.

No matter how honest he is and abides by the rules, he is still a pirate at heart, a pirate who despises the law and respects freedom. If he had not understood the meaning of responsibility, he might be a completely different person than he is now. situation.

In short, since Lieutenant General Garp said it was okay.

Naturally, there was no need for him to avoid it in a hurry.

"So, what's going on? Lieutenant General, you're not going to continue to keep your secrets, are you? At this time, I want to go back to sleep more than chatting with the old man who can't sleep!"

Eleus yawned.

This sleepiness is half true and half false.

It's already early in the morning, and the desire for sleep is a physiological instinct and a long-standing habit. This is half true, and as for half false... With Elus's current ability, sleep is not an uncontrollable instinct. , even if you don’t sleep for ten and a half days, it won’t have any big impact.

The reason why I say that,

It's not a matter of talking skills, but Eleus really enjoys sleeping.

Just like the pleasure of tasting delicious food, sleep can also bring people a sense of happiness.

"Ah! It's really time to go to bed at this time."

After hearing what Elus said, Garp neither refuted nor got to the point directly. After looking at the moonlight outside the window, he instead echoed Elus's words and even yawned, with tears in his eyes. There were sleepy tears.

"······Lieutenant General Garp."

Major General Sprenger reminded.

"Alright alright!"

Garp muttered a few nonchalant words. He cleared his throat, straightened his back, and finally asked, "Prince Elus, what do you think of the navy?"

"Hmm~~?"

The confused voice hesitated twice.

Elus blinked his eyes, and the sleepiness in his mind disappeared. This question was a bit confusing, wasn't it?

"The navy? It's very good! Although there are shortcomings in fighting pirates and protecting civilians, in general, the existence of the navy maintains order on the sea and prevents the world from falling into disorderly turmoil. "

He was casual and perfunctory.

I'm still wondering what does this mean?

unexpectedly,

Lieutenant General Garp suddenly laughed. He looked at Elus with admiring eyes and said:

"Boy, you are very good!"

"Uh...a prize?"

Monk Elus Zhangba was confused and felt that he couldn't keep up with Lieutenant General Garp's thinking. What was going on? Why did you suddenly praise him for no reason?

"Boy, let me ask you again, do you think it is better for the new world to have a navy? Or is the coexistence of the four emperors more in line with the reality of the new world?"

This question is quite explicit.

Elus suddenly understood.

It turned out that they were here to win over him. No wonder they asked him about his feelings about the navy. It was obvious that the basis of cooperation was that there was no fundamental conflict between them. Elus's statement revealed that he had no negative views on the navy, and even quite a few. A positive attitude provides further conditions for cooperation.

As for why the Navy asked him to cooperate?

Of course,

New world.

The navy obviously wants to regain the majesty and power it lost in the new world.

The emergence of a new world overlord who is not a pirate, but even originates from a country that is a member of the World Government, allows the navy to see the possibility of returning to the new world. Even if cooperation fails, as long as the Kingdom of Exmundo does not give up As a member of the World Government, Elus will not become an enemy of the navy.

"Lieutenant General Garp, is Marshal Sengoku planning to let me destroy the existing order of the new world?"

"That's what the Sengoku guy means."

Garp nodded.

Next to them, the three major generals Sprenger, Cajetan, and Bichmann lowered their heads in unison. How could they talk in such a way that directly revealed their personal details? But who let Lieutenant General Garp do this? No matter how many opinions I have in my heart, I can only hold them in.

Unfortunately,

This operation was most likely doomed to fail, the major generals couldn't help but think.

Elus was also blocked by Garp's straightforwardness.

This answer doesn’t fit the mold at all!

but,

This also made him realize his mistake. The person sitting in front of him was Garp, the famous 'Iron Fist', not the wise general marshal of the Navy Headquarters, nor the famous senior staff officer, like Garp. When dealing with gentlemen, it is better to be direct than to beat around the bush.

"Destroying the existing order of the New World...I am doing it even if I don't say it." Elus raised the joystick and sat upright, "However, the Warring States Marshal is not planning to let the New World Is the world falling into endless war and chaos? Is the Navy planning to use the Kingdom of Exmundo as a springboard to return to the new world?"

"Well, this kind of thing...Bichmann, tell me! I forgot what the guy from Sengoku said! Hahaha!!!"

Saying,

Garp was not embarrassed at all, but laughed happily.

"I'm too lazy to remember things that are too complicated. Anyway, Bichman, you guys shouldn't have forgotten them, right?"

"Ahem!"

Rear Admiral Bichmann cleared his throat, "Prince Elvus, I am Bichmann, currently the Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters... Well, I won't say any more nonsense. This time, Marshal Sengoku asked Lieutenant General Karp and I came to your country just to establish a good cooperative relationship with your country."

"If the Navy Headquarters and the Kingdom of Exmundo can establish a close alliance, they will definitely be able to change the chaotic situation in the New World. When the time comes, order will be restored and the New World..."

beside,

Jinbei couldn't help but feel a little frightened as he listened to Major General Bichmann's speechless words.

navy,

He actually wants to cooperate with Elus!

If Elus really forms an alliance with the Navy, the situation in the New World will definitely change dramatically. However, the Kingdom of Exmundo is a member of the World Government, and there is natural cooperation between Elus and the Navy. Base.

Once Elus is won over by the navy, the navy will definitely take the opportunity to return to the new world.

Where will Fish-Man Island, under the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates, go from here?

at this time,

"Stop, stop, stop."

Eleus interrupted Major General Bichmann's words, "Let me ask first." He looked at Garp and the three major generals and asked: "Is Marshal Sengoku planning to overthrow the Four Emperors?"

"······No."

Major General Beechmann thought for a moment and shook his head in denial.

He didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Elus. No matter how young Elus looked, he always kept in mind that the man in front of him could fight a humanoid monster like Big Mom for three days and two nights. The horror of victory or defeat exists. If you are caught talking nonsense in front of such a monster, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to complete the task, you may even get into trouble.

"That's good. I thought Marshal Sengoku was going to defeat the Four Emperors in one go!"

Elus held his chin and said slowly: "Cooperation...I have no objections in principle, but don't think of me as the navy's fault. I can't stand up to the pirates of the New World by myself." You can fight and cooperate, but don't think you can regain the authority you lost in the new world now. Some things have to be done slowly, there is no rush!"

"If I annoy Father Whitebeard and cause a tsunami to destroy my country, then even if I demolish Marinevando, I still won't be able to restore my lost country."

The terror of Whitebeard lies not only in his world-leading combat power.

The most terrifying thing is the destructive nature of the earthquake fruit.

That is enough power to destroy the world.

This is not an exaggerated adjective. On this planet where the sea occupies more than 80% of the area, it is really not an exaggeration at all to say that Whitebeard, who can set off tsunamis at will, has the power to destroy the world. This is just An accurate description of reality.

Even though there is a strong man like Garp who has reached the extreme in terms of pure force, this still cannot cover up the various powerful features of Devil Fruit. For example, the owner of Garp is not inferior to Whitebeard's terrifying strength, and the two fight. It's hard to say what the outcome will be, but Garp doesn't have the power to destroy the world.

This is the charm of a powerful devil fruit.

They allow people with abilities to do many incredible things that humans cannot do originally.

"Please rest assured, Prince Elus, I am not using the Kingdom of Exmundo as a shield."

The voice came from the phone bug.

Garp held the phone bug in his hand and looked at Eleus with a smile.

At the same time, he stretched out his other free hand, first pointed at Jinbei, and then pointed at the closed door of the living room.

Jinbei stood up obediently,

He walked out of the conference hall and closed the door gently.

"It's really rude to introduce myself in this way, but the conditions are limited, so it can only be rude. I hope Prince Elus can bear with me and introduce myself. I am the marshal of the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku." Phone bug. The man on the other end said this.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period... This is really flattering!"

Eleus stared at the phone bug.

"Time is precious, so I won't be polite to you, Prince Elvus. My personal opinion is that I hope that the Navy Headquarters can become an alliance with the Kingdom of Ekmundo, and that the Kingdom of Ekmundo will support the Navy at some point in the future. Returning to the new world, the navy will also give corresponding power to the Kingdom of Exmundo."

Navy Headquarters,

The brightly lit marshal's office.

Sengoku, who was sitting behind his desk, held the microphone and showed his sincerity to the young overlord in the new world word by word.

This call,

It was Karp who called.

Garp conveyed his opinion briefly but clearly. He believed that Eleus was someone he could cooperate with.

Regarding Karp’s judgment,

Sengoku had no doubts, so he suddenly spoke up and directly communicated with Elus across the vast distance.

"Power? What power can the Navy give me?"

Eleus asked with interest.

"The power to expand your shipping network in the paradise." Sengoku had obviously done enough homework, and Elus' actions in the new world were clearly understood.

"...The navy is not planning to return to the new world now, is it?"

"That's right, as you said before, as long as Whitebeard doesn't fall, the Navy will not be in a hurry to return to the new world. The Shock Fruit...that thing is indeed something that people cannot easily make up their mind to provoke. "Sengoku frankly expressed the Navy's fear of Whitebeard.

"So, regarding cooperation... I will reply to you, Marshal, later. I also need to communicate with the elders in my family. After all, I am just a prince now."

Alvus is almost ready to cooperate with the navy.

Cooperating with the Navy is not a bad thing for him.

He is not a pirate to begin with. As a member of the World Government, it is normal for the Kingdom of Exmundo to have certain exchanges with the navy. The most important thing is that in terms of ideology, he has a certain understanding of the navy that maintains maritime order. I must like it.

Apart from the cancer of the Celestial Dragons, there is generally nothing unacceptable about the Navy.

He has lived under the protection of order for his two lives. Although there are huge differences between orders, this still makes Elus prefer order to chaos, so he does not hate the navy, the defender of order.

only,

It’s better to talk to your father and grandfather before making the final decision.

Even though he is a second-generation man, he does not think that he is much smarter than the people in this world. On the contrary, he never dares to look down on the most outstanding figures in the world today, such as Warring States.

Even Big Mom, the mad emperor who often gets sick, does have the power and tactics that match his status as the pirate emperor when his mind is clear.

"In this case, I will just wait for the good news."

Warring States hung up the phone bug and ended the call that spanned hundreds of thousands of miles.

"Warring States Period, is it okay to just open the park to the public?" Sitting on the guest sofa was a petite woman with gray hair. She was a crane known as the "big staff officer" of the Navy Headquarters. Lieutenant General.

"You want the horse to run, but you also want the horse not to eat grass. Ahe, you understand that this kind of thing is impossible. Since we want to prevent Prince Elus from becoming an enemy of the navy, we even want to If we want him to become an important weight for the navy to return to the new world and compete with the four emperors, how can we not give him some benefits?"

“Besides, it’s not a bad thing for Prince Elus to have a big enough stake in Paradise!”

Only those who have perseverance have perseverance.

With enough interests in Paradise under the protection of the Navy, the cooperation between the Navy Headquarters and Elus will be more stable, and the risk of cooperation breakdown can be effectively reduced.

"That's true, but during the Warring States Period, don't worry about raising tigers, especially since this is a tiger that is only twenty years old and is young enough to kill hunters."

Crane gave a warning.

"······I see."

Warring States narrowed his eyes and looked at the map of the Grand Route hanging on the wall through his frog glasses. The large red areas of the New World in the second half were so dazzling, and he changed his words: " But let’s see first! I trust Garp’s judgment.”
