Pirate Merchant

"You actually became a brigadier general in such a short time, how about it? Just like I said, that guy Akainu is easy to fool, right?"

After asking the beautiful doctors to bring Elsa who ran away to the medical room, Mu Qian and Saka hid in Nuo Qigao's small building. After evaporating the blood on their bodies, they rolled up their sleeves and started preparing to cook.

"Yes, as long as you listen to him in everything, he will give you a lot as he is extremely unpopular in the navy. It is thanks to him that I can be promoted so quickly. Moreover, I recently killed a guy in the new century who had a bounty of 300 million on his head. I heard that I will be promoted to lieutenant general soon."

Saka expressed his gratitude to Noqigao who poured him tea and then replied to Mu Qian.

"Really? You have the strength of a lieutenant general. Becoming a lieutenant general is also a good thing for our Isshin Dojo. Although some junior brothers want to become pirates chasing freedom, more junior brothers and sisters want to work within the navy. You become Lieutenant General, as long as they don't form cliques for personal gain, they will also get great convenience."

Mu Qian took the chopsticks, fried the star-shaped eggs with domineering plasticity, and said to Saka with a leisurely look.

"I see, by the way, have you heard? Marshal of the Warring States Period is about to resign, and the two generals Akainu and Aokiji are at odds over who will be the marshal."

Saka watched with interest Noqigao, who came to Mu Qian's side to help wash the dishes. His eyes were full of love and he looked at Mu Qian sideways from time to time. He had no intention of getting involved in the matter of his son and daughter's love. Mu Qian asked about 'business'.

"Of course I know. Aokiji and I are good friends, and I also told Marshal Sengoku that I would support him in becoming marshal. Do you think you were promoted quickly because of your strength?"

Mu Qian turned around with a strange expression and asked Saka, who was sitting on the sofa behind him.

"Don't be naive. It's actually because Akainu wants to win me over, so you, as my senior brother, are promoted quickly. Don't make politics seem too simple. At least I can't play politics in the Warring States Period. Now you look like He is the Commodore of the Navy Headquarters. In fact, he is essentially a bargaining chip used by Akainu to blackmail me. Politics is very dirty. If it were not for your career, no one would be willing to get involved in that."

Seeing Saka's nonchalant look, Mu Qian shrugged indifferently and used the roughest and most hated words to warn Saka not to be too complacent and proud.

"Of course, I'm not an idiot. That magma bastard is not suitable to be a marshal at all. I prefer that old man from the Warring States Period to be a marshal. Although he is scary, I think he is more worthy of the title of marshal than a scheming bastard like you. Akainu looks so stupid in comparison.”

Saka put his head in his hands and yawned leisurely. While yawning, he told Mu Qian what he thought of Akainu.

"You can't say that, he is stupid so he can help me. When will you be promoted to lieutenant general? I will tell Akainu beforehand that I will support him to become marshal, so that your promotion to lieutenant general will be easier. .”

After frying the eggs, Mu Qian picked up the casserole on the side, then put the millet and rice that Noqigao had washed into the casserole and started cooking porridge.

"Next month, what? Do you still want to get me into the vacant position of general?"

Saka stretched out and joked to Mu Qian that it felt great to have someone fighting for him behind the scenes while he only had to sit on the elevator and go up.

"Forget it about being a general. When you become a general, you change from listening to Akainu's orders to listening to the orders of the world's nobles. Although I don't care about 'things' like the 'world's nobles', there is still a time when I can use them. So it’s not time to break up with them yet. With your hatred of evil, you will definitely break up with them if you become a general."

Mu Qian, who was frying steak, raised his hand and threw the steak, which had been cooked to medium rare, to Saka along with the plate.

"Can I just stay at Lieutenant General? Whatever, I don't really care about this kind of title anyway. Speaking of which, that guy Sauron is having a lot of fun in the Shampoo Islands. If he had known that I would become a pirate, at least I could Make trouble without restraint."

Saka, who summoned the breeze to gently hold up the plate, felt that his hands and feet were tied up after becoming a navy. However, even if his hands and feet were tied, he was willing to do this for his senior disciple who was very good to him.

"Then it's too late for you to say this now. Work hard and wait for a few years. I will fully support you in whatever you want to do. Besides, don't you claim to be Zoro's old enemy? The navy and pirates are not you at this time. Is it the most appropriate identity?"

Mu Qian carefully prepared various easy-to-digest delicacies for Elsa, and teased Saka, who picked up a knife and fork and started eating.

"Tsk, I want to regard you as my old enemy more than Zoro. It's a pity that Zoro and I combined are not as good as you. But it's really amazing. Between you and me, one of us became a marine, and the other became a pirate. But you have become a businessman. This feeling of being deliberately arranged by others is really unpleasant. You are right, senior disciple."

Saka sneered, and his whole aura became sharper.

"Hahaha~ Indeed, but now you have just learned Armed Haki, and you don't know Haki at all. In this case, you can't beat me. When you beat me, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Mu Qian, who was stared at fiercely by Saka, laughed happily and said something that made Saka's teeth chatter.

"Forget it, what you said is indeed true. By the way, you should also know that Aokiji and Akainu are about to have a quarrel. There are even rumors that the two generals are planning to have a fight on a certain island. Alright?"

Saka, who started to eat again, told Mu Qian the information he had learned during this time.

"Hehe, Aokiji told me that he said that he disliked Akainu more and more, and said that he wanted to kill him. Ah, I remember that day I said 'I will help' to him."

Mu Qian laughed happily as if he had done something great.

"You are the one who started it"

Saka clutched his forehead and couldn't help complaining. The co-author was this bastard who kept saying that he was absolutely neutral and fueled the flames.

"That's right, but it's just adding some warmth between the two people who are in a hurry. What I did to Akainu was not obvious enough. I just entrusted a mouse who had just been promoted to be a major in the logistics department of the Navy headquarters. It’s just spreading the news that Aokiji will most likely become the marshal.”

Mu Qian, who was cooking, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled happily amid Nuo Qigao's somewhat frightened expression.

"You are really bad."

Nuo Qigao raised her hands and pressed the corners of Mu Qian's mouth, then unhappily pinched the smile on Mu Qian's face into a pout.

"I'm not bad, I just use the existing elements to create a situation that others don't care about, but it's beneficial to me. Besides, if I'm bad, I don't just make small moves."

After being pinched by Nuo Qigao, Mu Qian closed his eyes to cool down his body and regained his composure, then gently patted Nuo Qigao's little hand away and said dissatisfied.

This girl has been a little too much to herself recently, pinching and knocking herself every now and then, making her lose any dignity in front of the merchants in the deck area.

"For example, let Whitebeard be the foreman and let him lead the anonymous Whitebeard Pirates to smash the Red Earth Continent and open up canals. He also agreed, and now we are waiting for the start-up document from the world government, I am really looking forward to it, the shaking fruit that can shake the whole world will open up a new world for the younger generations, isn't this an extremely romantic 'bad thing'?"

Mu Qian, who didn't stop at all, carefully arranged the food in front of him, as if he had seen the scene of Whitebeard opening up mountains and seas in the future. As long as the four closed oceans are opened up, people in this world can truly enjoy the food. in the sense of getting rid of poverty.
