Chapter 339 Bragging with the Wind 【Three in One】
"Hmph! I understand. It seems that your world government wants to kill the donkey. You tricked me into suppressing bandits for your world government for several years, and finally used tricks to make me destroy my future, right?"
Crocodile suddenly smiled, looked at McKinsey, and said, "Let me ask one last time, is this what the world government means?"
McKenzie looked confused, isn't it about Lieutenant General Schuyler and you? Why involve the world government?
In fact, McKinsey also figured it out. This Crocodile is using the world government to suppress Schuyler. However, it may be useful to switch to other generals, but if it is Lieutenant General Schuyler
McKinsey doesn't know about Skyler's origin and background. After all, this is something that even Skyler doesn't know, but Wu Laoxing is willing to sell Skyler's face.
And as a small screw of the world government, is it possible that his status can be compared to the five old stars? And it's hard to say what choice even the five old stars will make.
McKenzie was silent for a while, looked at Schuyler, and said, "Today's meeting is chaired by Lieutenant General Schuyler. I am just an assistant. What Lieutenant General Schuyler means is the meaning of the world government."
"?"
Crocodile showed a look of confusion on his face, when exactly? When did this hateful girl gain such a status in the world government?
In just twelve years, what has this hateful girl done since she left "ta"? In just a few years, he went from a commoner to the position of lieutenant general in the Navy headquarters.
But why does the world government treat Skyler with such courtesy today?
However, in Crocodile's impression, the relationship between Schuyler and the world government should be very bad, otherwise, Schuyler would not be forced to carry out any justice expedition.
There was also the incident of insulting the Tianlongren later, which led to his suspension. Although in name, the Navy never said that Skyler was suspended, but the half-year vacant period can be seen by anyone who is not a fool.
Later, Skyler's errands in the New World were the hardest and most exhausting errands, guarding the last few dozen nautical miles in the area controlled by the New World Navy. group.
Crocodile, who boarded the Moby Dick, the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates with Skyler, understood that even though at that time, Whitebeard had a good impression of Skyler and even wanted to take her as his daughter.
But after the Justice Crusade ended eight years ago, Crocodile could also see clearly that Whitebeard's so-called "gratitude" and "tolerance" to Schuyler were all dumped after giving up 219 nautical miles of sea area.
Therefore, Schuyler guarding G-5, facing the pressure from the Whitebeard Pirates, is actually no different from any other general guarding the G-5 branch.
It's just that the two sides have maintained respect in the past few years and never violated the original promise, so that the balance between the navy and the pirates can be maintained.
Just such a general, who was hostile by all the pirate forces in the new world in the past, and a general who was constantly stabbed by the world government in the future, how did he transform into a vice admiral who even the world government needs to treat with courtesy?
Among them, what happened?
Crocodile looked at Skyler, but could see nothing in Skyler except his righteousness.
"Hehe~"
Mihawk raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, which seemed to be just a meaningless particle, but the irony pierced straight into Crocodile's heart.
"Mihawk, what are you laughing at?!"
Crocodile directly diverted his anger, and turned to Mihawk who was at odds with him. Mihawk still didn't look at him directly, but said:
"It is the greatest shame in my life to be in the company of a person who dare not even speak."
Hearing this, Crocodile was panting heavily and was about to have a seizure.
"Bang~bang~bang~"
Skyler knocked on the table and said, "Crocodile, how much time do you have to waste everyone? If there is a reason, explain it. If there is no reason, then apologize to everyone."
"snort!"
Crocodile sat down directly, leaning on the back of the seat, unwilling to speak.
"Okay, that. Mai, when you record the minutes of the meeting, be more detailed."
Schuyler looked at McKenzie. McKenzie, who was smiling, suddenly paused. This was the first time someone called him that. He was almost twice the age of Schuyler, and he was actually called "Wheat"?
But McKinsey only paused for a moment, then put on a brighter smile, nodded quickly, and his subordinates also wrote quickly.
'This is Lieutenant General Skyler's attention, so he is so kindly called. '
McKinsey comforted himself in this way in his heart, since he couldn't resist, let himself be more comfortable when he endured it.
Skyler no longer held onto Crocodile for being late, but looked at Xiong and said, "This is Bartholomeo Okuma, who is about to become the king's Shichibukai. You can get to know him in advance."
Xiong Wenyan also stood up, and with a polite smile, he nodded to the three of Mihawk, and Mihawk also nodded slightly in response. Perhaps this is already the greatest courtesy he has shown towards Xiong.
Crocodile ignored the bear, turned his face away, and didn't even look at it. Haku stood up and bowed slightly to the bear, because Haku could see clearly, and he might be the worst one after all.
Mihawk has the qualifications to be arrogant. Although Crocodile is almost mean, but he has been in business for many years, coupled with the bad habits of pirates, he also has the confidence to do so.
But he, Haku, was just a raw material for cooking that barely escaped, and he had to correct his attitude when he had to correct his attitude.
After saying hello, both Xiong and Haku sat down again, and Skyler also looked at McKenzie and said, "Mike, I see that you have prepared a lot of materials, and then you can tell everyone about it."
"Yes, Lieutenant General Skyler."
McKinsey stood up and distributed the information in his hands to everyone, and then said: "This time, the Shichibukai meeting, the first proposal is to discuss the adjustment of the distribution of looting proceeds."
Xiong listened very seriously to this proposal. This was the most important and direct reason why he became Qiwuhai. He needed the money to help Solbey Kingdom out of trouble.
Mihawk didn't even bother to listen, he never looted, he just met, beheaded, and then ignored it, as for any treasure, it didn't matter.
He farms by himself and is self-sufficient. Among the ruins of the castle, there is wine that he can't finish drinking in his life.
He doesn't have any hobbies, and the only thing he's interested in is kendo sparring, which doesn't cost money.
The same is true for Crocodile and Haku. Although both of them have "experience", but the same, looting is not their purpose. Crocodile is to shape the character, and Haku is for the stability of Dragon Palace.
In terms of money, they are not lacking. Crocodile has the largest casino in the Alabasta Kingdom, and all the expenses of Haku and the Murloc Pirates are supported by the Dragon Palace Kingdom without spending money.
After the first proposal was over, Xiong began to meditate, calculating how much treasure he had to plunder every year, so that after "sharing the accounts" with the world government, the Kingdom of Solbey would have enough money to hand over to the heavenly gold.
As the proposals passed, each Shichibukai focused on different points, so there was no scene where all the staff concentrated on the meeting, but
McKinsey planned to speak to himself at the beginning, even if only one person listened to each proposal, it was beyond his expectation.
The last proposal prepared by McKinsey ended, and McKinsey stopped because Mihawk kept frowning. After a while, Mihawk said: "The Navy and the world government have the right to summon Qiwuhai, and Qiwuhai has the obligation to respond."
Mihawk repeated what McKenzie said just now, McKenzie nodded and asked, "Yes, Mr. Mihawk, do you have any questions?"
"Mihawk, the navy and the world government, this is the rule in principle."
Before Mihawk could speak, Skyler spoke up. After listening to Skyler's words, Mihawk also smiled, nodded, and said, "No problem, that's it."
What does the principled requirements of the world government and navy have to do with Mihawk?
McKenzie saw that Mihawk did not raise any objections. Although he felt a little abnormal in his heart, he was relieved. After all, in his prior investigation, Mihawk was definitely the most maverick person.
It's just that I saw him today. If it comes to his unique personality, maybe no one can surpass Lieutenant General Skyler beside him, right? Mihawk, but mediocre!
Of course, McKinsey finally has a definite answer to a piece of information that they doubted.
That was the information that Skyler had a choice to win in the battle of the world's number one swordsman, but he didn't choose.
This information was deduced by CP survey after the battle between the two of them. It is just this information, but there are also polarized attitudes within the world government.
Although Skyler's ability is so high that people will forget her weakness as a woman, but as long as everything involves the strongest, or the first, many people will unconsciously favor men.
Maybe they don't consciously think that women are not good, but they subconsciously agree that men have more advantages.
As for why McKinsey confirmed this piece of information, because in his opinion, an arrogant person like Hawkeye may only have a little awe of the winner.
Of course, as an official of the world government, McKinsey's quietly changed cognitive concept made him unable to think of friendship, because he no longer trusted anyone.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible to understand the tacit understanding between Skyler and Mihawk, who can understand each other's meaning with just a few words.
Moreover, even if he thought about it for a short time, McKinsey himself would give up the idea. After all, there is no friend who would cut the other party into such a ghostly appearance.
McKinsey was thinking in his head, but did not affect the action of the pen. He quickly wrote down the content of the meeting, then looked at Schuyler, and asked, "Lieutenant General Schuyler, do you still have those proposals for the Navy?"
"You have prepared very well here, basically covering what I want to discuss, so that's it, if there is no problem, let's adjourn the meeting!"
Skyler stood up, McKenzie quickly stood up and bowed, Xiong also stood up and nodded, and Haku stood up one step ahead of Mihawk when he saw that Mihawk was about to stand up, bowed and left the conference room.
Mihawk stood up, put his right hand on the brim of his hat, and then walked out of the meeting room with precise and moderate steps. As long as he is not fighting, he always looks so calm.
Skyler glanced at Crocodile, and found that he was still sitting there with his head turned, and simply ignored him, walked past him, and left the conference room.
Skyler had just left the conference room and was walking towards the temporary accommodation for the Navy by the World Government. She stopped after just a few steps and looked at Sengoku, who had pale lips not far away, with a smile on her face. crane.
Skyler nodded and said, "No wonder there was something wrong at the meeting. It seems that Marshal Warring States is still worried about you?"
The half-joking tone made the two people on the opposite side smile, and Zhan Guo said: "Calmly, with both kindness and strength, you performed very well, and the crane's vision is always accurate."
Skyler's knowledgeable and domineering, has a special skill that can make her and her knowledgeable color unable to be captured by the other party. This skill was taught to her by the Warring States Period.
Therefore, Skyler was not surprised that he didn't notice that Warring States and Crane were listening in, and since they both knew each other, it would be embarrassing to tell the truth.
"The old man has to go back and sleep again, or the old man's life will end today."
Warring States also spoke in a half-joking tone. After speaking, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead. Skyler also followed him and He, and walked towards the temporary naval station.
There were no words along the way. After all, Skyler knew that hangover people are very resistant to sound the next day, resisting all sounds, because every piece of information processed by the brain is a pain.
Moreover, there is nothing to talk about in today's meeting. Zhan Guo and He obviously attended the whole meeting. If there is a problem, they will take the initiative to bring it up.
He had just returned to the Navy's temporary station and stepped into the lobby. Sengoku's already aching head became more and more painful because he saw Garp again.
It's just that unlike the pale Sengoku, Garp's face is extremely ruddy and energetic, perhaps because of a few more hours of sleep, or because of his stronger body resilience.
In short, compared to the hangover who seemed to die suddenly at any time in the Warring States Period, Garp looked like a normal person at this time.
"Ahahaha~" Seeing Skyler come back, Garp first laughed loudly enough to make the building resonate, and then said happily: "I heard that you are going to lead the Qiwuhai meeting?"
Although it was a questioning tone, the proud smile on Garp's face betrayed his inner thoughts.
But in the next second, Garp's smile subsided slightly, his fingers stuck into his nostrils, looked at the pale Sengoku, took two steps forward, and said, "You ran out early in the morning, could it be that you can't trust Skyler?"
Zhan Guo ignored him, but turned around directly, wanting to go upstairs, Karp frowned when he saw this.
"degree~"
Pulling his fingers out of his nostrils, he made a sound like opening a bottle of champagne, then grabbed Sengoku's shoulders with both hands, and forcibly turned him around, saying, "Is it?"
"Ugh~yue~"
The sudden dizziness made Sengoku no longer able to control himself. In order to make his stomach less uncomfortable, the yogurt he drank in the morning, mixed with the acid in his stomach, sprayed Garp's face.
"."
In the lobby, there was silence. Hai Hai, who was talking and laughing at first, stopped talking or even breathing.
"Ah~ It's much more comfortable."
Zhan Guo wiped the corner of his mouth with one hand and rubbed his stomach with the other, looked at Garp who was stunned, and said, "Old bastard, it's even."
"I still have something to do, Skyler, come with me."
After Crane finished speaking, he cast a look at Skyler, and then quickly ran towards the door. The shaving technique would probably make most generals feel ashamed.
Skyler also followed in an instant, and the two had just stepped out of the gate when they heard Karp's roar.
Afterwards, the sounds of jingling, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, bang, and bang sounded one after another. Crane looked at Skyler, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I don't think you're interested in having lunch anymore. Let me walk with the old man."
Skyler nodded, and the two began to take a walk in Marie Gioia, chatting about some interesting or trivial things in life, and did not talk about business affairs, and Crane did not ask about the many "crimes" that Skyler had committed in violation of the regulations.
After all, what needs to be exchanged for questioning and punishment is compensation and correction. If it is only for the pursuit of this process, then it is useless. Since Skyler has already begun to change, there is no need to bring up the old things again.
The two were strolling around Marie Gioia, and when they met the royal family or envoys, Crane would chat casually and introduce Skyler to them.
Don't know if they remembered, but Skyler didn't.
At dusk, when the two were walking towards the banquet hall, Skyler suddenly thought of something and said, "It's really strange that I haven't encountered that group of garbage in the past two days."
The corner of the crane's mouth twitched, just finished beating Tianlongren the day before yesterday, and want to fight again today?
However, she also frowned and said, "Do you still remember that the Tianlong man that Commander Kong said yesterday that you beat was dead?"
"Didn't you say you committed suicide?"
Skeletto adjusted his sunglasses and said casually, but Crane shook his head and said, "Being beaten up and committing suicide, do you believe in such a thing?"
"Isn't it good to lose one such person?"
After Skyler finished speaking, Crane stopped in his tracks, looked at the gate of the banquet hall not far away, and said, "Yesterday and today, in Mary Gioia, except Commander Kong, no one else said anything to us. this matter.
The old man was thinking, is it because they don't know, or they can't mention it? "
"Won't Marshal Kong also come to the banquet hall?"
Hearing this, He nodded and said, "Well, I'll ask Commander Kong later. Let's go, the time is almost up."
Crane raised his steps again and walked towards the banquet hall. Today Skyler didn't think that the first batch arrived a few days ago. On the contrary, there were already many people sitting in the banquet hall at this time.
For the first time, the royal families and envoys of the countries that joined the world government showed their eagerness for food, perhaps. Today's visit is a rare "sport" for them, right?
Walking into the banquet hall, Crane and Schuyler found Sora's figure. At this time, Sora was sitting with Lieutenant General Sengoku and Garp with a bruised nose, laughing and drinking continuously.
Crane glanced at Skyler, then walked towards Kong, and when passing by Rocindin, he said, "Rosinanti, come here."
"Ah good!"
Rossindi, who was always slow, stood up, followed behind Crane and Skyler, and walked towards the dining table where Kong and others were sitting.
He approached, greeted first, then turned around and said, "Rosinindi, we have some conversations, I don't want too many people involved."
"I see."
Rossindi nodded, raised his hand slightly, and an invisible quiet field appeared, covering only this table, and the few people on the table would not be affected.
Crane looked at Kong and asked, "Commander Kong, I didn't have a chance yesterday. I want to ask about Saint Burnser."
As Crane spoke, several people at the dining table looked at Kong. After all, before the meeting yesterday, they all heard about the suicide of Burnser, but they didn't know the reason or follow-up.
Hearing Crane's question, Kong gradually suppressed the smile on his face, put the bottomed wine bottle on the table, and said, "I thought you might know something.
In the face of the Tianlongren incident, this is the first time the old man heard the words "stop here" from Wulaoxing. "
"So you don't know what happened?"
Warring States said with a bit of a tongue, he didn't usually have this problem, it seemed that it was caused by an "accident" today.
Kong nodded, smiled again, looked at the three generals, Chi Huangqing, and said, "I don't know what happened to that, but I know that your generation of navy is much happier than my generation.
With a 70% budget increase, the old man now wants to resign from the post of commander-in-chief of the entire army and return to the navy.
When the old man was young, the navy was very poor. The scrapped warships had to be disassembled one by one to recycle the materials. Otherwise, new warships would not even be built.
later"
Kong looked around, and said: "After a few of you, and Zefa and the others, the navy gradually improved, and the old man also gained confidence, and asked for more military expenses from the World Government.
I thought that the old man had done a good enough job, but, alas, a new generation replaces the old one!
I have to admit that the navy you lead is much better than the navy led by the old man.
Ton ton ton~”
Kong pried open another bottle of wine, raised his head and poured it, the wine in the bottle bottomed out again, Kong put the bottle back on the table, looked around, looked at the seven people and said:
"Warring States, I know that you have ambitions in your heart, and it is difficult to display them, and you even wronged yourself.
But the attitude of the world government has obviously changed now, as long as it is an act of justice, you can do it boldly, and the world government will pursue it. I will carry it first, and I can’t bear it anymore.”
Kong looked at Skyler, burst out laughing suddenly, and said, "This old man can't bear it anymore, so let you young people carry it! Drink and drink!"
Kong picked up another bottle of wine, and the Warring States Period was not far behind. He picked up a bottle of wine, unscrewed it, and said, "Marshal Kong will not gnaw off the toughest bone in the New World, and this old man will never abdicate!"
After the Warring States finished speaking, he also looked at the three generals Chi Huangqing and Skyler, and said, "At that time, the task of sweeping the six sea areas and making the sea stable will be left to you young people."
"Hey! Warring States, after the World Conference, arrange for me to go to the sea area of the Hundred Beasts Pirates, and the old man's fists have grown again!"
Karp also slammed the table and shouted: "I will help you young people, too, and gnaw off another bone!"
"Some people say that now is the era of great pirates, but I think this is our era."
Schuyler took a rare bottle of wine and said, "I will make the remnants of the old era, and there will be no new ships to carry them!"
Rossindi looked at the few people who suddenly started bragging, and didn't know whether the quiet field should be maintained or withdrawn.
