My little brothers are all big guys

After the call, the Navy meeting room did not wait for the other party's call. After discussing the plan again without any results, everyone dispersed. Back to his office, Ivan thought that some things should be arranged in advance. He picked up the Den Den Mushi and called Mason: "Hey, Mason, I heard that you are the chief of the South China Sea branch and you are doing well." The Den Den Mushi turned into Mason's short-haired appearance, and his surprised voice came: "Boss, why did you think of calling me?" "I miss you so much. I have been following your news and really want us to fight together." "Haha, just have this intention." Ivan said. He asked again: "How has your strength increased recently? How is the development of your fruit ability?"

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Mason was happy and a little proud: "The growth in strength is definitely good. The fruit ability is developing smoothly according to the plan you gave."

"I think it's no problem for me to beat up Smoker now. There is no opponent in the South China Sea."

This kid is so proud!

"Ah, Smoker is still a tragedy."

Mason asked: "What happened to Smoker?"

As a former brother and old partner, he still cares about Smoker.

Uh, how to say this? Ivan didn't know how to answer: "Well, I can't explain it."

"Help me do something in the South China Sea and help me find a devil fruit."

"At the same time, look for the two children, Eustace Kidd and Kira. If you find them, give them some help first."

"If they have potential, you can take them as apprentices or adopted sons, but you have to observe them carefully."

"I'm afraid they have bad tempers and may rebel."

Mason over there was a little confused. It was no problem for him to find the fruit, but what was the situation of him arranging the two children like this?

"Boss, what are the two children you mentioned? The sons of an old friend? Or the descendants of some big man?"

This, this is not easy to explain.

Ivan said: "Just do it, don't ask so many questions, I'll ask the secretary to send you the devil fruit illustration later."

After the call, Ivan took a document to find Zhan Guo.

Marshal's office

Zhan Guo stared at Ivan with suspicion and asked: "You kid took the initiative to come to me, is there something wrong?"

Generally speaking, it's either good or bad.

If it's good, Zhan Guo can basically benefit from it. If it's bad, it must be a disaster and he needs to clean up the mess.

Zhan Guo has a good understanding of his character. Otherwise, if he asked him to come for something, he would not be active.

Ivan smiled embarrassedly: "The Marshal is really smart, there is indeed something."

Well, let's listen first. Good things are fine, but if it's bad, I might consider what excuse to use to get rid of him.

An old fox like Zhan Guo has hollow eyelashes.

Ivan put the information in front of Zhan Guo and said: "Don't be like a thief, okay?"

"I have good things to say. I want to recommend the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The information and report are all in it."

Zhan Guo picked up the information and read it while Ivan told about the story of being petrified by the Empress Hancock at Huoshao Mountain and his fight with Hancock.

Of course, it was exaggerated, praising the Empress Hancock for her strength and the Nine Snakes Island's military strength, adding weight to Hancock.

"Boya Hancock, according to what you said, she really meets the standards of becoming a Seven Warlords of the Sea." Sengoku said after a moment of deliberation.

Ivan patted his chest and said, "Of course, when have I ever been unreliable in my work?"

Haha, Sengoku looked like an old fox and asked with a smile, "Tell me, do you have any selfish motives?"

Ivan immediately retorted righteously, "Old man, it's boring for you to do this. You can suspect that I'm slacking off at work, but you can't doubt my character."

"Don't play this game. It's just like Garp, becoming more and more unserious."

Sengoku said unhappily.

"Tell me honestly, did you have a grudge against Marshall D. Teach last time, and you just wanted to trick him?"

"Did you make up the content of the newspaper?"

Alas, an old fox is an old fox, Ivan felt a little guilty: "How could it be possible? I am a new hero of the navy, how could I do such a thing."

"If you still don't believe it, when I have time, I will fish out the Yomiuri fruit ability user for you to see."

"But that Teach must not be underestimated, otherwise there will be endless harm in the future."

Ivan said the last sentence very seriously.

Warring States

Her eyes must have been fixed on him, and she didn't see any flaws.

After the two of them discussed recommending Hancock to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Ivan was ready to leave.

Bru Bru, Sengoku's Den Den Mushi rang, and after answering it, it turned into an old lady.

"Mom, mom, Sengoku, it's been a long time."

Big Mom's playful voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

Sengoku also looked a little serious: "Charlotte. Lingling."

Ivan, who was about to leave, sat back down.

"Are you ready for formal negotiations?" Sengoku asked. Since she called in person, the negotiations must be substantively carried out.

Sengoku couldn't help but look at Ivan with a strange look. Does this kid have any magic?

Yesterday, he made a phone call like a child's nonsense, but today Big Mom really called.

"Yes, Zhan Guo, didn't that arrogant boy ask me to call you in person? Then let him do as he wishes."

Charlotte Lingling's unhappy voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

Ivan also heard this, but he was not happy. Instead, he had a bad feeling.

Zhan Guo said with a smile: "Charlotte Lingling, tell me your conditions."

The other side didn't say any nonsense, saying: "Mom, mom, I only have two conditions."

Two? Zhan Guo frowned, feeling that things would not be so simple: "You said, as long as it's not too much, I can agree."

"First, use those three rubbish to exchange for my son Owen."

"Second, I want that arrogant boy to quit the navy and become my son-in-law."

Charlotte Lingling said in an unquestionable tone.

Something is wrong, who is the arrogant boy referring to?

Is it not referring to himself? Ivan was confused.

Zhan Guo also guessed the answer and asked patiently: "Who are you talking about?"

On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, the other party said word by word: "Wild D. Ivan, three for two, you still made a profit."

Fuck, can you have some shamelessness and ask me to use a future general or even a successor I like as your son-in-law?

Zhan Guo was also angry: "Absolutely impossible."

"Then you wait to collect their bodies." Charlotte Lingling was also arrogant and hung up the phone directly.

What a sin, so shameless, don't you see what your daughter looks like, either old or ugly.

Ivan was indignant and sneaked to the door, but was caught.

"Stop." Zhan Guo shouted.

"Well, Marshal, I still have military affairs to deal with, I'm leaving first." Ivan said embarrassedly.

Zhan Guo looked unhappy: "I didn't ask you to leave, come back."

A minute later, the two sat opposite each other, still staring at each other.

Ivan spoke first: "Anyway, I won't be her son-in-law, don't even think about it."

Zhan Guo glared at him: "I didn't ask you to go."

Ivan: "Should we save that person?"

Zhan Guo: "Of course we should save him."

Ivan: "How?"

Zhan Guo...

Half an hour later, the two drank tea separately, without saying a word.

Another half an hour later, Ivan seemed to have made a decision: "Marshal, let's do this, you call her back."

"Katakuri is her strongest son. I will fight Katakuri. If I lose, I will agree to her terms."

"If we win, we will only exchange hostages, one for three, and see if she can agree."

Zhan Guo didn't expect him to say such a thing. It felt a bit frivolous, but it seemed to be the only way.

"Are you sure? This kind of thing can't be joked about. It's a big deal."

Suddenly, Ivan's aura changed drastically, his expression became serious, his fighting spirit rose, and he showed strong self-confidence.

"From the last fight, if I fight hard, I will lose but not die."

"Now that so much time has passed, I have improved a lot, I can win."

This is not nonsense, Zhan Guo said: "Don't forget, others will also improve, okay?"

"Trust me, I will definitely win, I won't joke about my future." Ivan smiled.

Zhan Guo was still worried: "This kind of thing can't be a fight of will."

Ivan shook his head: "It's not a fight of will, but I have to do it, and see if I have enough."
