Who made him the Pirate King?

"My ancestors shed blood for the World Government and made meritorious service for the Navy Headquarters!"

Storm came back to his senses. He didn't care about the identity of the person in front of him and asked directly.

"What did I do wrong that I should be expelled from the headquarters?"

For the Navy.

Strom couldn't say how much he liked it, nor how much he disliked it.

After all, this is a worse world.

In Storm's eyes, "Navy" is just an identity and a job.

Since it is work.

If you don’t have a cold, you don’t have a cold. What’s the point of being expelled for no reason? !

"You did nothing wrong."

Qingzhi scratched his messy afro.

"And you are not being fired, you are submitting your resignation."

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Storm looked at Qingjia absurdly.

Is there any difference between "being fired" and "handing in your resignation"?

Could it be said that after Storm voluntarily submitted his resignation, the Navy Headquarters did not need to pay additional salary?

By the way, does the world government have a "labor law"?

Through Storm's reaction, Aokiji finally realized something.

"Didn't Teacher Zefa tell you the reason?"

Qing Zhi lowered his head and held his forehead, waves of white cold air emanating from around his body.

"Ah la la, it's true, he obviously recommended you to come here..."

Zefa’s recommendation?

Storm looked at the letter in his hand, then raised his hand to signal.

"Teacher Zefa just wrote a letter of recommendation. He said that General Kuzan would explain everything."

"Ah la la."

Aokiji once again issued his iconic mantra.

"They'll just find me extra work. It's so troublesome!"

Facts aside, isn’t this your own problem?

Storm secretly cursed.

He had no intention of getting involved in the "conflict" between two generations of admirals.

He walked forward without saying a word, placed the letter of recommendation in front of Qing Zhi, and then quickly stepped back to stand where he was.

Qing Pheasant glanced at Storm, who opened the letter and read it ten lines at a time.

Storm didn't know what exactly Zefa wrote in that recommendation letter.

He just observed that the white cold air emanating from the blue pheasant became more and more intense.

The temperature in the general's office also became lower and lower.

Storm could almost see the white mist created by his own breathing.

"Recruits!"

After hearing a scolding, Qingzhi suddenly raised his head and stared at Storm.

"Did you ever publicly insult the world's noble Celestial Dragons as pigs in the boot camp?"

When Qing Pheasant asked, his expression was as cold as a piece of eternal ice.

If you ignore the ugly green plaid eye patch the other party wears on his forehead.

So the blue pheasant at this time still looks quite intimidating.

"First of all, it was not made public. It was said during a private chat."

Storm twitched his lips and confessed to the "crimes" he had committed.

“Secondly, this is not an insult, but an objective description.

“Finally, I didn’t say ‘Delonians are pigs’, I said ‘Delonians are scum that are worse than pigs’.”

There is no navy that insults the Celestial Dragons on the sea.

For example, Monkey D. Cap.

This old man can openly insult the Celestial Dragons even in the Holy Land of Mariejoia.

But so what?

This is Garp!

He is a naval hero, his son is the leader of the revolutionary army, and his grandson is about to become a pirate boss.

What's wrong with scolding the Tianlong people?

The world’s governments have no objection!

But Storm is just a rookie sailor.

He insulted the Tianlong people and his immediate boss found out about it.

Storm sighed inwardly.

Dear mother, it will affect your official career...

Will Qingzhi "assign" me to the Sihai Branch?

In that case, it would really be——

That's great!

I saw Qingzhi's expression becoming more and more serious, and the biting cold air seemed to freeze the entire general's office.

But in the next moment, the spring breeze thawed and the ice and snow melted.

"Pfft hahaha!"

Qing Pheasant burst into loud laughter.

"Recruit! I finally know why Teacher Zefa recommended you to join the SWORD army!

"You are very interesting!"

SWORD troop?

The secret special force of the Navy Headquarters - the Blade Force?

Storm captured some key information from Aokiji's words.

He quickly connected all the known information together——

Zefa signaled him to come to Qing Pheasant just to recommend him to join the SWORD team?

"By the way, recruit—no, Vongola? Let's call you Storm!"

Qingzhi wiped the ice particles from his eyes and put on a serious expression again.

"Do you know about SWORD?"

I know, but not much.

Storm pretended to be new and shook his head.

"SWORD force, or blade force."

Seeing this, Qing Pheasant opened his mouth to introduce.

"This is a secret special force established by the headquarters. Its strategic position is roughly equivalent to the SSG led by Dr. Vegapunk.

"Members of the Blade Force, to put it simply...are the Navy members who have submitted their resignations.

"The mission of the Blade Force is to fight against pirates, and against all pirates including the Pirate Emperor!

“Other than that, the Blades are not required to follow any orders.

"This is a 'guerrilla force' that can move freely."

Aokiji finished explaining the general situation of the Blade Force.

After that, he calmed down and gave the other party some time to digest and understand.

Frankly speaking.

What Aokiji told was similar to the information Storm had.

The only thing that surprised him was that the strategic position of the Blade Force was comparable to that of the SSG!

SSG stands for "Special Science Group", which means "Special Science Class".

This organization sounds a bit strange, but it actually has a very powerful fighting force.

[Pacifist], [Laser Gun], [Bubble Shield], [Green Blood], [Seraph]...

This series of inventions and creations that shocked the past and the present are all related to special science classes.

The special science class can almost be said to have single-handedly supported the scientific force of the Navy Headquarters!

Its status is evident.

How can the Blade Force be compared with the Special Science Class...

But then again.

Qing Pheasant has a wealth of information on the Blade Force.

Does this mean that he is the top leader of the Blade Force?

It's like Kizaru is commanding the Navy Headquarters' scientific force.

It’s just that after Aokiji left the navy, he became the tenth giant captain of the Blackbeard Pirates.

If Aoki Pheasant were the top officer of the "guerrilla force" of the Sharp Blade Force.

So……

Is he an undercover agent?

A series of thoughts ran through Storm's mind.

At this moment, Qing Zhi continued.

"Ström, Teacher Zefa spoke highly of you in the letter. He thinks your personality is very suitable for the Blade Force."

Having said this, Qingzhi paused and casually listed a few points in the recommendation letter.

"Be self-disciplined, work hard, don't blindly believe in authority, and have your own concept of justice."

There is one more thing that Qing Pheasant didn’t say.

That means Storm has an absolutely innocent family background!

Three generations of Storm's ancestors were all in the navy.

Even at Navy Headquarters.

There are not many sailors who are as talented and capable as "Navy Gull Flag" like Storm.

The Blades are a secret special forces unit.

Its special nature determines that the identity of military members must be "absolutely pure."

Storm's family background can exactly guarantee this kind of "purity."

Qing Pheasant stared at Storm and issued an invitation.

"Recruit Vongola Storm, are you willing to join the SWORD force and become a member of this secret force?"

Storm was very calm and did not agree hastily.

Joining the Blade Force has pros and cons for him.

As everyone knows.

A righteous navy only needs to obey orders and act as a lackey for the world government.

But the Blade Force, which can ignore orders and move freely, has many things to consider.

"Before answering this question."

After a moment of silence, Storm asked.

"I still have a few questions that need to be answered."

Qing Pheasant nodded, it was okay.

"Ask."

Storm asked first.

"The Blade Force is a secret special force. How high is its confidentiality level?"

Aokiji simply responded.

"Within the Navy, only marshals and generals are qualified to know the full list of members of the Blade Force."

Storm demanded.

"What about the world government?"

"government?"

Qing Zhi showed a rather subtle expression.

"The government will not know about the existence of the Blades."

ah? Real or fake?

Storm was extremely surprised.

The Blade Force is actually so independent?

Even the world government doesn't know about the existence of the blade?

There is currently a serious lack of information, and Storm can only choose to temporarily believe in Qing Pheasant's words.

He quickly asked a third question.

"Since the Blade Troops can attack the Pirate Emperor, where is the King's Shichibukai?"

Generally speaking.

If there is no permission from the highest level - the Five Old Stars.

Even the Navy Headquarters cannot easily cause conflicts with the Pirate Emperor.

Even a small friction may lead to a larger-scale war.

But the Blade Troops can directly attack the Yonko!

This is the specialness of the Blade Force!

That being the case.

King Shichibukai is the "official pirate" who has been stamped and recognized by the World Government.

Is it also within the strike range of the Blade Force?

Aoki looked at Storm deeply.

As an admiral.

How come Aokiji doesn’t understand the harm that the “Shichibukai System under the King” does to the navy and to justice?

But that is the policy of the world government after all!

A special policy implemented in order to stabilize the order of the sea and divide the pirate camp!

The Navy Headquarters has no right to comment.

But the Blade Troops...

Qingzhi nodded slowly.

"Can."

Even the Yonko can fight against the sharp-edged troops, why can't the Shichibukai fight?

As for resisting the policies and orders of the world government...

"But I need to warn you ahead of time, Storm."

Qing Pheasant said seriously.

"This department will not be responsible for the actions of members of the Blade Force, and they may be expelled from the military at any time."

If there is an order from the world government.

The Navy Headquarters will even take the initiative to eliminate the existence of the Blade Force members!

"One last question."

Storm didn't care about Aokiji's warning, but smiled easily.

"If I join the Blade Force, will my salary increase?"

"Of course! The welfare benefits of the Blade Force are definitely the best in the entire Navy!"

Aokiji also smiled.

"The Blade Force welcomes you to join, Vongola Storm."

Storm didn't reply, but just raised his hand silently and saluted.

He got on the Blade Force's ship!

Since Storm is willing to join the Blade Force.

Then Aokiji didn't say any more nonsense.

He cut the Gordian knot.

"To make a long story short, the Blade Force just needs to perform a very important task.

"Just a while ago, the pattern of the new world has changed drastically.

"After the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, another pirate group has risen.

"The Red Hair Pirates, known as the 'Iron Wall Pirates'!

"The fourth Pirate Emperor has appeared in the New World - Red Hair Shanks!

"Storm, the mission of the Blade Force is to spy on the intelligence movements of the Pirate Emperors of the New World.

"Your mission is -

"Become a great pirate, go deep into the New World, and get into the Four Emperors!"

Storm tilted his head, raised his thumb, and pointed backwards at himself.

I, go to deal with the Four Emperors?
