General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 612 I recommend my lord Blackbeard

When Warring States rushed to the conference hall in a hurry, what he saw in front of him was beyond his expectation.

The original expectation that Mihawk and others would conflict with Rorschach, or even fight and collide, did not happen.

The atmosphere in the hall was a little too calm.

There was not even a slight verbal friction between the several kings of the Shichibukai and the navy's first admiral who openly opposed the Shichibukai system.

This discovery made Zeng Guo breathe a long sigh of relief. At the same time, he looked at Luo Xia with a hint of confusion.

Luo Xia keenly noticed the suspicion in Zeng Guo's eyes, and couldn't help but stand up, showing an innocent expression.

"Marshal Warring States, I see distrust in your eyes, which makes me sad."

As he spoke, Luo Xia sighed with a lonely look, shook his head in disappointment and whispered: "Originally, because I haven't seen your voice and smile, old man, for several months, I miss you so much, so despite my busy work schedule, I went out of my way to I want to take a few days out and want to come back to visit you. But now it seems that Marinefando doesn’t welcome me, so I’d better go back to the New World..."

As soon as Rorschach said this, Mihawk and others in the hall had expressionless faces.

Skylark was suppressing laughter again.

Granny He, who was sitting next to him, saw his expression and couldn't help but smile and explain softly:

"You heard it right, Rorschach. It is also the responsibility of the Shichibukai to appropriately attack pirates approaching their territory within the scope of their capabilities.

Of course, at this time, Rorschach would not be stupid enough to dismantle the Warring States Period.

Sengoku, Mihawk and others were chatting about the corresponding conditions they had to complete every year in the Shichibukai system, and discussing what they might do in the new year.

The Shichibukai don't mean to follow all the conditions in the system exactly.

It's better to let him believe that Garp can quit senbei and donuts.

"Grown up? Calm? Didn't tell lies?"

When Yunque heard Luo Xia's words, he was hesitating to say a few words to Luo Xia when he heard Seng Guo say angrily: "This little girl Yunque is wearing the same pair of pants with your kid now. You want me to ask her?"

Warring States had a dark look on his face, and he raised his right hand and hit Luo Xia on the forehead.

"Hehe, what I said is all true. I really miss you, old man. If you don't believe me, just ask Yunque."

Rorschach felt relieved.

"Wear...wear a pair of pants?"

He glanced at Mihawk and the others present with some embarrassment, sorted out his words a little, then coughed lightly and looked at the five remaining Shichibukai.

Skylark stood affectionately behind Grandma He, stretched out her hand and gently squeezed Grandma He's shoulders, filling Grandma He's face with a kind smile.

"Okay, I can see that Rorschach is not telling lies. The little guy has grown up and his temperament has become much calmer. Warring States, you should be happy."

After a lot of tossing, Luo Xia was still not kicked out by the Warring States Period and successfully sat next to Lieutenant General He.

Brannew had a weird look on his face, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

Skylark's eyes widened, and after a brief moment of confusion on his little face, he turned hot and blushing, wanting to find a crack in the ground to get in.

So for the next hour or so, Rorschach just sat aside and listened quietly.

But having said that, Rorschach still doesn't like the Shichibukai system.

Our navy and the world government jointly invite influential and powerful people on the sea to serve as the king of the Shichibukai, and grant them legal plunder rights in the sea within a certain range, and give up their capture. This is not a unilateral grant to them. benefit.

Sengoku rolled his eyes.

Pull it down.

Let him believe that Rorschach can become calm and honest so quickly.

For example, it requires at least how many pirate groups should be eliminated every year.

"So that's it."

Seeing that Warring States still wanted to reach out and hit Luo Xia on the head, Lieutenant General He smiled and protected Luo Xia behind him.

Regarding the Shichibukai system, what you knew in the past was still somewhat one-sided.

"Both sides are fighting pirates?"

The World Government and the Navy are not taken advantage of and will give such great benefits and power to a few pirates in vain.

"You bastard! There's not a single truth in your mouth. If you really miss me, stop giving me trouble!"

Luo Xia dodged and hid slickly behind Lieutenant General He, who came in behind Seng Guo, and looked at the furious Seng Guo with a smile.

Before Mihawk and the others spoke, Rorschach was stunned for a moment.

Warring States was so distracted by Luo Xia that he almost forgot the purpose of coming here.

This will be linked to how much benefit they get from the status of Shichibukai.

As long as they do something similar, the Navy will turn a blind eye.

This is even less reliable than Garp’s grandson becoming the Pirate King.

For a moment, he didn't understand the meaning of Warring States' words.

He knew that since the Shichibukai system could be implemented for more than ten years, there must be a certain rationality.

The checks and balances you originally thought about the Four Emperors of the New World were only part of the requirements. "

Since the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, the Shichibukai who are invited every year also need to more or less crack down on pirates.

"Everyone, I invite you here this time. First, I want to summarize with you some of the progress we have made in combating pirates in the past year. Also, I want to hear your thoughts on the two vacant Shichibukai. Are there any suitable candidates for the quota? If so, feel free to tell us and we can discuss it."

People like Hawkeye and Jinbe are willing to serve as Shichibukai, not to use this status to develop their own power.

But because a lot of trouble can be avoided.

For example, the island where Hawkeye lives can avoid being hit by naval artillery fire because of the identity of the Shichibukai.

For example, the Fishman Island behind Jinbe was able to receive a certain degree of protection from the navy after he became the Shichibukai. It was not as unbearable as Jinbe said before.

For a Shichibukai with low ambitions like theirs, the Navy's requirements for them are relatively loose.

They are not even forced to eliminate the pirates.

Unless there is a forced recruitment by the Shichibukai, they can just go about their own business and usually don't have to pay attention to their navy at all.

This is equivalent to giving some threatening pirates an identity so that they don't have to become enemies with the navy for the time being.

The same reason.

There are also many people in the navy who have high military ranks and rarely take the initiative to uphold justice, but are able to remain stable in high positions.

The reason why the Navy treats these generals so leniently is because it is much better to let these people go out and stand opposite to themselves than to keep these people in the Navy to eat free food.

For example, Kizaru, if the navy kicks him out of the navy because of his laziness, and he becomes a pirate, then there will probably be another Yonko pirate group in the new world.

Warring States kept talking for more than an hour, and finally mentioned what Rorschach was interested in.

Regarding the successor candidates for the position of Shichibukai, Edward Weibull and Doflamingo.

When Warring States mentioned this, several pairs of eyes in the conference hall clearly fell on Luo Xia.

The old god Luo Xia was there, as if he didn't realize it.

Zeng Guoquan pretended not to see it, took a stack of documents from Brannuo's hand, and said in a deep voice: "As for the two vacant Shichibukai quotas, our Navy has already had two after a long period of sorting and screening. A more suitable candidate. And after receiving the invitation from us, one of them also expressed his acceptance."

Warring States' voice attracted everyone's attention again.

"Ahem, hehe, is there a new candidate for the Shichibukai so soon? Who is it?"

Moria laughed strangely and was the first to ask.

Warring States looked at the information in his hand.

"The first candidate is the blind swordsman Yixiao whom I invited last time.

Now the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, the bounty is about to be changed to 3 billion Baileys. "

"A smile??"

Moriah groaned and couldn't help but raise his hand and put it on the bandages on his head. His face instantly became a little ugly.

"Three billion Baileys?"

Jinbei's expression changed.

The reward for this man named Yixiao is too high.

Jinbei knows a smile, and he also knows the Straw Hat Pirates.

While aboard the Moby-Dick, he often heard Ace talking about his younger brother, Straw Hat Luffy.

This newly emerged Straw Hat Pirates was founded by Ace's younger brother, Straw Hat.

Every time Ace talks about his younger brother, he will be very happy and tell everyone that his younger brother is very outstanding and will definitely catch up with him in the future and become a famous pirate in the new world.

At first everyone took it as a joke.

But later, after the Straw Hat Pirates were born, the number two figure among them was actually offered a bounty of one billion Bailey for the first time!

And his captain, for the first time, offered a bounty of 30 million Baileys, which was considered quite powerful.

But compared with the smile of this blind swordsman, it is like a world of difference.

From that moment on, the Straw Hat Pirates and the blind swordsman smiled and officially entered the eyes of the world.

Even Whitebeard is paying attention to Straw Hat and Yixiao. Now, only half a year has passed since the last time he was offered a bounty of one billion, and Yixiao's bounty has increased three times.

Three billion Baileys!

This is already at the level of the New World Pirate Emperor.

This shows how wary the navy is of this blind swordsman.

And the reward for his captain, Straw Hat Boy, seems to be 300 million beli right now?

The captain's bounty is one-tenth that of the deputy captain.

This is the first time everyone here has seen this situation.

Jinbe couldn't understand why a strong man who was so feared by the navy and recognized his strength would be willing to become a subordinate of a new pirate.

He became more and more interested in Ace's younger brother.

"Three billion Baileys? For him, this bounty is not much."

Hawkeye gave a very pertinent evaluation, and then continued:

"But based on what I know about him, he will not join the Shichibukai."

"Yes, he once again rejected our invitation."

The Warring States Period was quite regretful.

Yixiao's bounty was, of course, raised after fighting Luo Xia and Qing Pheasant on Judiciary Island a while ago.

It was different from the previous encounter with Hawkeye that I heard from rumors.

The personal strength displayed by that smile was so powerful that it shocked Sengoku and other senior navy officials.

Whether it was Rorschach's super-level physique or Aoki's powerful freezing ability, neither could win a smile in a short time.

Yixiao's domination, physique, swordsmanship, and abilities are all top-notch in the world.

This is a proper general, the level of the Four Emperors.

There are many Superman-type fruits, and a Devil Fruit that is no less than the Golden Lion's Fluttering Fruit, making Yixiao's threat greater than that of everyone else in the Straw Hat Pirates.

Indeed, as Hawkeye said, the bounty of three billion Baileys was not high at all considering Yixiao's strength.

Thinking of this, Seng Guo's heart began to hurt again.

He quickly diverted his attention, not thinking about the irreparable sadness, and looked at the second piece of information in his hand.

"The second candidate is the owner of the golden ship Tezoro, Gilder Tezoro. The invitation to the Shichibukai sent by our navy has received a positive reply from him. I don't know if you have any opinions on this newcomer. ?”

The second candidate mentioned by Warring States surprised Rorschach, but also found it reasonable.

It turned out to be Tezzoro.

At this point in time, Tezzoro was not showing off on the sea.

But his reputation and influence have truly spread to all parts of the world.

Especially in this world's upper class society, big forces, and big pirates, almost everyone does not know the name of the Golden Emperor.

But the impression of the Golden Emperor Tezoro in the eyes of the world is basically the inherent image of a rich man.

Very few people know that he is still a powerful person.

Compared with Moriah, who is the weakest player in the Shichibukai, Tezoro can definitely beat him with one hand.

The Navy would invite him to become the new Shichibukai, probably because they have some understanding of his strength.

However, what makes Rorschach feel a little confused is that Tezoro doesn't seem to be a pirate?

He was thinking about this problem.

Sure enough, someone immediately raised this doubt.

"Tezoro? Your navy wants a fat, rich man to become King Shichibukai? Hehehehe, I said, your navy is not bought by him with money, is it? I didn't listen As I said, Gilder Tezoro is still a powerful pirate. No..."

"He is not even a pirate, he is just a special king recognized by the World Government because he is too rich."

Moria's daily performance was stable and he broke the silence in the conference hall in a timely manner.

Regarding the issue of Tezoro becoming a Shichibukai, in fact, except for the idiot Moria, none of the Shichibukai present showed too much concern.

It doesn't matter if it's none of your business.

If it has nothing to do with their interests, no one will care who becomes the Shichibukai.

If Doflamingo was still alive and saw that his business partner had become a Shichibukai like himself, he might have laughed strangely and sighed.

As for Jinbei, Big Bear, Hancock, and Hawkeye, they all had expressionless faces and no opinions.

Sengoku glanced at Moria, a little reluctant to answer the question of the overly stretched Shichibukai.

In fact, for Moria, the World Government is already considering replacing him.

It's just that there is no suitable candidate for the time being.

Moria's three consecutive kneelings brought the prestige of the Shichibukai to a new low.

As a result, many supernova pirates who have emerged recently and are known as the worst era are no longer interested in the Shichibukai, which was once famous and terrifying.

However, Sengoku finally explained a little bit.

He didn't say much, just mentioned one sentence.

"Tezoro is a superman with the golden fruit ability, and his devil fruit ability has been awakened."

As soon as these words came out, the disdain on Moria's face solidified.

Hawkeye and Big Bear remained expressionless, Jinbei moved slightly, and Hancock's eyes flashed.

Sengoku curled his lips and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone has no objections to Tezoro becoming the Shichibukai, soon our navy and the World Government will officially announce to the world that Gilder Tezoro will become the new Shichibukai. The King of the Qibukai. Now, let’s discuss the candidate for the last Shichibukai..."

Before Warring States finished speaking, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the window facing the sea, causing everyone to turn their heads and look.

Rorschach's lips curled up slightly.

Although Tezoro became a Shichibukai, it was a bit beyond his expectation.

But fortunately, the person he was looking for finally came to his door.

Under the gaze of everyone, a man with a pair of snow-white wings on his back, who looked like an angel, Shi Shiran fell from the sky to the window sill of the conference hall and took off his hat to greet everyone in the hall.

"Everyone, I heard you discussing the candidates for the new Shichibukai?"

"who are you?"

Rorschach's eyes darkened, he took over Moriah's job, and stared at Lafitte who had seen the right moment and fell from the sky with a cold expression.

"Lieutenant General Lan Lin..."

When Lafitte was glanced at by him, he suddenly felt a chill running through his body, and his heart immediately became awe-inspiring.

Bagis died after being kicked in the head by the violent new star of the navy.

This is a downright vicious person.

Lafitte didn't want to mess with it.

He didn’t want to provoke such a terrifying man for Blackbeard.

He immediately took a deep breath and blurted out his purpose quickly.

"I am Lafitte, a member of the Blackbeard Pirates. I am here to apply for a spot in the Shichibukai for my captain, Marshall D."

"Blackbeard Pirates? Never heard of it." Moria's voice was much softer this time.

The rest of them had cold expressions, but Jinping was the most excited. He stood up from his seat and glared at Lafitte.

"Tikki? You said you are the crew member of that bastard Tikki? The Blackbeard Pirates? Huh! Tell me, where is that bastard Tikki?!"

Lafitte ignored him and just looked at Sengoku with a smile.

When Sengoku heard the words of Lafitte and Jinbei, his heart couldn't help but move.

As shrewd as he was, he immediately knew the cause and effect relationship. He looked at Lafitte calmly and said solemnly: "The role of the Shichibukai requires a powerful and influential pirate. Your captain is currently It does not meet the conditions for selection.”

"Of course we know this."

Lafitte smiled slightly and arched his body.

"But since we dare to come here and ask you for a place in the Shichibukai, we are naturally very confident in our own strength. So, please give us a month, and we, the Blackbeard Pirates, will definitely be able to give you a place that you will not refuse. one's gift."

Warring States stared at Lafitte closely, pondered for a long time, and suddenly said coldly:

"Ten days, I only give you ten days."

"Ten days?"

Lafitte's expression changed slightly, and he wanted to buy a little more time.

But seeing the indifferent expression on Luo Xia's face during the Warring States period and the eager gaze of Jinbe next to him, he gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

"Okay! Just ten days!"
