Zongman: I, the task master, join the chat group

"Navy, stop."

Near the coast of Nine Snake Island.

The navy's warships were still several miles away from the coast, and the majestic momentum was already pressing down, along with a cold voice:"Amazon Lily does not welcome uninvited guests."

"As expected... the qualifications of a king?"

At the front of the deck, a woman wearing a cloak of justice, a pink top and short shorts that were almost invisible, with a pair of long legs that attracted attention, looked solemnly at the figure leading the way on the shore.

Although she had guessed that Boa Hancock would have Conqueror's Haki through her performance in the last expedition before coming, so this time, she brought the elite of the headquarters, who would not faint directly under the Conqueror's Haki like ordinary people.

But under such pressure, it is a question whether she can still exert half of her strength in the battle.

After a little thought, she ordered the warship to stop where it was, and she walked on the air to the Nine Snake Island.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Seeing the man's actions, Hancock frowned. She touched her lips with her fingers, and a small peach-colored heart appeared on her fingertips, and under her control, it shot towards the man.

""Boa Hancock, stop, I'm Vice Admiral Gion of the Navy Headquarters."

The female officer who avoided the kiss gun and came to the air near the sea said,"Although you have a bounty on your back, I have no ill will towards you when I visit Nine Snake Island this time. It's just that there is still a vacancy in the Seven Warlords of the Sea. After the World Government's judgment, your status and strength are qualified to become one of them, so I came to ask if you are willing to accept the World Government's call."

"Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Hancock adjusted her crossed legs and raised her eyebrows.

"Snake, the Seven Warlords of the Sea is a system launched by the World Government more than ten years ago. Those who can become Seven Warlords of the Sea are all great pirates who can intimidate others."

Thinking that Hancock didn't know the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea, Groliosa beside her hurriedly introduced it to her:"After obtaining the qualification of Seven Warlords of the Sea, the original wanted order will be stopped, and the World Government will no longer pursue all the crimes committed by the pirate before, and subsequent privateering will be tacitly allowed, but if discovered, they will need to pay a certain percentage of tribute to the World Government.……"

""You're so long-winded!"

Hancock glared at her and said,"Don't you know what I said?"

"Now that you know, what is your decision?"

Gion, who was still standing in mid-air on the moon cloth, asked

"My suggestion is to accept it. It seems that the Navy is still sincere."

Guroliosa whispered.

The so-called sincerity refers to the person who was sent to Nine Snake Island to contact Hancock.

Nine Snake Island has been a famous forbidden place for men on the sea for a hundred years, also known as the"Daughter Island", so when the Navy received the order from the World Government to"invite Boa Hancock to the Seven Warlords of the Sea", it sent one of the few female vice admirals in the headquarters.

"You come down first, I don't like to look up and talk to people."

Hancock called to Gion.

After he landed, she spoke:"Becoming a Shichibukai means that the outside world has acknowledged that I am a 'running dog' of the World Government. If necessary, in order to maintain my qualifications, I must accept the forced conscription of the World Government... You don't think that just a privateering license can make me bear such a heavy burden out of thin air, right?

"I admit that Amazon Lily is not as powerful as your navy, but if you could really easily take over the Nine Snakes Island, what you sent today would not be an invitation to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but an invitation to lock me up in a cage in Impel Down."

"……"

Trouble.

Thinking of what Sister Crane said to him before he set out, Gion's expression did not change much, but he muttered in his heart.

Indeed, in terms of hard power, let alone Amazon Lily.

Even the big pirates in the New World who are known as the Pirate Emperor will not be the opponent of the Navy.

But just like the Pirate Emperor can dominate the New World.

The Navy will not rashly take action against a national-level force like Amazon Lily without an absolute advantage.

The reason is that the"geographical advantage" of the Nine Snake Island is too shameless.

If you want to take action against the Nine Snake Island, you must first pass through the Calm Belt with countless giant sea king nests underneath.

As for giving up the Nine Snake Island and only targeting the Nine Snake Pirates...

The cost of deploying defenses between the Calm Belt and the normal shipping lanes is not low. If you move casually, the military expenditure used is enough for the Nine Snake Pirates to rob for a year.

Gathering his thoughts for a moment, Gion said,"Out of respect for Amazon Lily, the World Government has granted you a special permission. If you are willing to take over the identity of the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea', the government can agree to a reasonable request from you while maintaining this relationship."

"Including the fact that I don't want to see any navy or world government ships appear in the waters around Amazon Lily?"

Hancock thought of the privileges that"I" had in Zhou Yifa's"plot".

"……Three kilometers at most."

Gion, who had already made plans for this kind of request, said.

It's not that we can't allow more. In fact, even if the range is extended to 30 kilometers, the World Government will not suffer any actual losses.

After all, given the geographical location of Nine Snake Island.

Are the Navy and the World Government so bored that they want to come to the Calm Belt to see giant sea kings baring their teeth?

Just agreeing to this condition is basically equivalent to acknowledging that the waters in this area are the actual territorial waters of Amazon Lily. Three kilometers is already the limit that the World Government can allow for non-member countries.

"……I will think about it first."

Under the gaze of Gion, Guroliosa and other female warriors of Nine Snake Island, Hancock closed her eyes.

『Boa Hancock:"Accept the status of Shichibukai and nominally bow to the World Government in exchange for legal plundering permission and ownership of the waters around Nine Snakes Island. What do you think?"

Hancock asked, returning to the group.

『"Kaguya Houraisan": You won't get any reference answers if you ask us about this kind of thing. It depends on how you think.

『Fujiwara Chika』：���I think so too, so +1

『Hell's Snow』：+1

『Irisviel: Then I too……+1?

『Ms. Avalon: Asking such a question means that between"accept" and"reject", you may be more inclined to the latter.

『Ms. Avalon: So, why not ask the magical time traveler? @周易

『Zhou Yi: Well... the benefits of becoming a Shichibukai, you should not need me to repeat them if you have already read the plot. According to the time calculation, you promised that Nine Snake Island will have at least ten years of peace in the future.

『Zhou Yi: Now that the chat group has been upgraded, even if no additional tasks are triggered and no new products are added to the mall, you can probably improve your strength to the level of a general who can truly protect Nine Snake Island in these ten years just by relying on the points gained from signing in and your own training.

『Zhou Yi: So, can you tell me why you don’t want to accept it?

『Boa Hancock』：……Mainly because I'm unhappy.

『Boa Hancock: Just as you said, according to the future you sent me,"the plot had not been updated before you crossed over", with my own talent, I would be one of the strongest under the emperor and on the sea more than ten years later. The new bounty that the Navy Headquarters arranged for me after the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea at that time was the best proof, not to mention that there is now this chat group.

『Boa Hancock: Reason tells me that it is the most appropriate approach to use temporary compromise in exchange for a longer-term future

『Boa Hancock: But my feelings tell me

『Boa Hancock: I can accept bowing to a being like you, but the World Government... or the Celestial Dragons behind the World Government, they are not worthy.

It is not difficult to see that Hancock was a little emotional when she posted this. After nearly two years in the group, this is the first time she has used the self-proclaimed name"I" in the group instead of the more casual"I am"."

『Zhou Yi: So you are the Hancock I like~

He sighed and continued——

『Zhou Yi: Follow your own heart and do it.

『Zhou Yi: I can’t say anything else, but now I can protect a Nine Snake Island in your world without any problem.
