Chapter 404 Katakuri: A Penny Can't Beat the Four Emperors 【Three in One】
In the G-5 branch, the warships of the Zhanye Detachment drifted directly into storage as usual, almost throwing away Kuina, who was sailing with the Zhanye Detachment for the first time, but fortunately she didn't lose her mind, so she stopped.
At this time, other members of the cabin also came out one after another. In fact, when they gathered at Marin Vanduo Harbor in the morning, they knew that their vacation would be next.
Because in the past, if they sailed with a mission on their backs, Nurkic would definitely explain to them in advance. This is Nurkic's habit, and it is also to prepare the detachment to avoid any unexpected situations that cause the mission to go wrong.
And since Nurkic didn't say anything today, it means that there is no mission, so there is no need to be on standby in the warship. After leaving the branch's residence for half a month, it is almost time to go back and tidy up.
There is no need for anyone to say hello, the moment the warship breaks down, the members of the Zhanye Detachment will leave the warship in an orderly manner, this is a tacit understanding within the Zhanye Detachment.
Skyler didn't leave so quickly. After waiting for a while, after everyone else had left, Rossindi and Luo slowly walked out of the cabin.
Although Luo is a member of the Zhanye Detachment, he is actually Rossindi's assistant, and Rossindi is not actually attached to the Zhanye Detachment, so he habitually keeps a little difference from the Zhanye Detachment.
Kuina had already left the warship, and stood on the port of the G-5 branch, looking at the G-5 branch building and other buildings with similar architectural styles, she quickly lost interest and turned to look above the warship.
Skyler on the deck beckoned to Rocinandi and Luo, and the two quickly walked towards Skyler, approached and saluted at the same time: "Sir!"
Skyler nodded, then waved and said, "Talk about something."
Rossindi nodded and looked at Luo. Luo slightly raised his hand, and the invisible ROOM position was activated, but Skyler raised his eyebrows. She clearly felt a momentary loss of hearing.
"Oh? Developed the same effect as Silent Fruit?"
Skyler asked with great interest. Luo didn't have any emotional changes. On the contrary, Rossindi smiled and nodded, and said proudly: "Luo is a genius."
"There's still a lot to be desired, and there's still work to be done."
Hearing Rossindi's praise, Luo's expression changed, he smiled joyfully, and reflected on his own shortcomings, but what Skyler saw was only a face full of Versailles. .
However, Skyler didn't want to worry about these things, but changed the subject and said: "You should also know that the Zhanye Detachment will be idle for at least a year.
Maybe there will be a little backflow in the new world, but the submarine team can solve it. I have plenty of time. Have you accumulated some tasks that you can't find the time to complete?
After all, I am also a member of the Night Emperor. Since its establishment, I have only performed one mission. It is somewhat unreasonable, don't you think? Rossindi? "
Rossindi nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Sir, I understand what you mean. If there are many people who need you to take care of them, there are quite a few, but they are most suitable for the current people."
After a pause, Rossindi frowned and said after a while: "Long Bread, I want to be captured alive."
Hearing the name, Skyler frowned and said, "After Charlotte Lingling's accident, the long bread that left the Big Mom Pirates?"
"yes."
"Who offered the reward?"
"Shichibukai Charlotte Katakuri."
Hearing this, Skyler's broken eyebrows raised. This answer was a bit beyond her expectations. She thought it would be Long Bread's former enemy, but she never expected that it was Katakuri who posted it.
"He didn't go to the underground world to offer a reward, but actually used Qiwuhai's authority to issue a reward to the Navy?"
Schuyler was still a little puzzled. After all, the Navy and Morgans had an ambiguous relationship and often exchanged information. Therefore, Schuyler could also directly check the intelligence of the headquarters for information in the underground world.
However, among the information compiled by Nurkic, there is no such thing as a reward for the long bread.
Hearing this, Rossindi said: "Katakuri should have found something. Sir, do you know about Charlotte Lingling's past?"
Schuyler narrowed his eyes behind the sunglasses, and said: "I know, I was entrusted by my parents to an orphanage, and then almost sold to the world government, and after that, I was taken out to sea by Long Bread, and became an emperor all the way. "
"Yes, but during this process, there are too many secrets about the world government, and Katakuri is giving the world government a face.
After all, no one knows how much Longbread knows about Charlotte Lingling's secrets. If a bounty is offered in the underground world, after Longbread is captured, it will definitely not be sent directly to Katakuri.
If someone learns about Charlotte Lingling's secrets or the news of the main text from Long Bread, it will be a troublesome matter for both Totland and the World Government.
so."
"That's why Katakuri has not cared about these "defectors" over the past few years, because once he targets them, he has the value of being targeted on behalf of these people.
On the contrary, his current appearance will reduce the "value" of Long Bread in the eyes of other forces, making him less important, so no one will pay his attention? "
Skyler then analyzed Rossindi's words, and Rossindi nodded and said, "This is my guess, it's just a guess, maybe it's not the case."
"Has he put a bounty on any other defector?"
Skyler asked, and Rosinendi understood what Skyler meant, that is, if Katakuri really wanted to sell the world government's face, he should only offer a reward for long bread.
After all, in Totland, among all the people whose surname is not Charlotte, the existence of Longbread is the most special. He guided Charlotte Lingling long before she became the emperor, or even went to sea to become a pirate.
He is the person who is most likely to know the secret of Charlotte Lingling. If he offered a reward for the long bread alone, it would be considered a blatant statement to the world government.
In fact, Rosindi shook his head and said, "Only Long Bread is a bounty."
"Then... if you want the truth, it's much simpler."
As Skyler spoke, under Rossinanti's suspicious eyes, he took out the phone bug and dialed a number directly.
"Bru~Bru~"
In the sea area of Totland, on the envoy ship of the Dressrosa royal family, Katakuri glanced at the uncomfortable King Riku III, and said:
"Your Majesty Dolde III, you can visit as you please and see if Totland is worth spending three billion Baileys to invest in construction. I'll answer the phone."
King Riku nodded, and after Katakuri turned around, he showed a look of displeasure. Before the start of the World Conference, this man came to his country and asked if he needed an escort.
At that time, he wanted to give face to the newly promoted Qi Wuhai and the candidate of the Four Emperors, so he agreed, and the left and right were only tens of millions of Baileys, so there was no need to offend.
But he never expected Katakuri to be so over the top, wouldn't it be enough to escort himself to the Red Earth Continent, and then escort him back?
As a result, this Katakuri fought a battle with the eagle-eyed Mihawk in the Dressrosa waters, and smashed the pirate ship, so that he had to "voluntarily" offer to send him back to Thoth orchid.
But this was just the beginning. After returning to the waters of Totland, Katakuri had no intention of leaving. Instead, he took him to inspect the islands and kept "suggesting" that he should invest and build here.
From 100 million at the beginning, to 500 million, to 1 billion, and now to 3 billion Baileys.
Not to mention whether the Dressrosa royal family can spend three billion Baileys, even if they can, King Liku is not willing to spend this unjustified money. After all, Katakuri has made it clear that he wants to be an empty-handed white wolf.
On the surface, it can provide a site for Dressrosa to build a factory and develop industries, but the ports, streets, and buildings that were destroyed in the previous battles all need to be repaired at their own expense.
Lin Lin finally figured it out, and there was a figure of three billion Baileys.
King Liku really wanted to reject Katakuri fiercely, but at worst, he would tear his skin apart. Katakuri's status is special and sensitive now, so he dared not take any real action against him, but this Katakuri behaved like a polite person decent people.
King Riku wanted to lift the table several times, but couldn't find an excuse, which made him extremely uncomfortable, and Katakuri sat opposite him for more than eight hours from seven o'clock today.
At this time, it was finally time to leave. Although it was only temporary, it also made King Li Ku heave a sigh of relief.
Katakuri, who had just turned around, frowned. As one of the very few people standing at the top of the sea with a domineering look, Katakuri naturally sensed King Riku's dissatisfaction.
However, Katakuri couldn't be angry. After all, there are not only pirates in Ten Thousand Kingdoms, but also countless civilians living here. They are all people who have been charged "rent" by his mother Charlotte Lingling.
As the acting captain of the Big Mom pirate ship, Katakuri felt that he needed to help these people rebuild their homes destroyed by the war. This is the promise that a man should have, but... he has no money.
Katakuri didn't want to take money from these civilians, so pulling investment became his best choice, and for this, he could give up all his face.
After walking a little further, Katakuri calmed down his impatience, and then took out the phone bug that had been ringing for a long time, and connected directly without even bothering to see who it was.
"It took so long to answer the phone? I thought you were hacked to death by Mihawk."
Hearing the voice from the phone bug, Katakuri lowered his head subconsciously, looked at the two newly added scars on his torso, thought about Mihawk's abdomen penetrated by the trident in his hand, and said with a smile:
"Mihawk? He is very good. Just like you, he is a madman who dares to do anything for the sake of fighting."
Thinking of the hearty battle that had just ended, Katakuri felt better, and asked, "What's the matter? Could it be that the group of Dressrosa secretly reported the letter?"
"Dressrosa? What did you do to them?"
Skyler asked suspiciously. Rosinandi, who was standing next to her, also frowned. He knew that Katakuri had taken King Riku away.
But because he knew that King Liku and the mission had arrived in the Red Earth Continent without incident, he gradually let go of this matter, but now it sounds like it's not that simple?
On the phone bug side, Katakuri paused for a while and said, "It's nothing, they are very enthusiastic, my ship was destroyed during the battle, and they sent me back.
Then I introduced them to the island of Totland, and they are now considering whether to invest. "
Hearing this, Schuyler raised his head and glanced at Rossindi, the expressions of the two were very similar, both of them didn't believe it, Schuyler said helplessly: "He is an ally of the World Government, you should pay attention.
Back to business, long bread, what do you think? "
Hearing Skyler suddenly mention Longbread's name, Katakuri spread his knowledge and domineering look. After checking to make sure that no one was paying attention to him, he turned around, leaned against the fence, and said, "What do you want to know?"
"What do I want to know? How about what do you know?"
"Before he left, he rubbed some of his mother's things, and I don't want those things to leak out."
"Isn't it? Katakuri? Even a gentleman should guard against it? If what he took away was really the rubbings of the historical text, it wouldn't be the navy's turn to take action, right?
Or do you think, I'll believe you're willing to let the texts of history fall into the hands of the world government? "
Skyler didn't mean to be euphemistic, Katakuri frowned, he felt more and more that those outsiders who joined the Big Mom Pirates before were useless.
How could he make such a brave and foolish judgment for such a general?
Taking a deep breath, Katakuri didn't bother to continue to hide, and said: "He took away some things I wanted and wanted to know, such as the broken photo of the nun, and my mother's past."
"It seems that you are serious when you say you want to resurrect Charlotte Lingling? Do you really think that the soul fruit, or something related to the soul, is really the key to resurrecting Charlotte Lingling?"
"Yes, before my mother wakes up, I will keep searching until I die. At least, I can't convince myself until the soul soul fruit comes out again."
Katakuri's tone was very calm, maybe he didn't think he could "resurrect" his mother with these things, but he couldn't comfort himself if he didn't do anything.
And he kept telling his younger siblings that his mother was not dead, and he was still looking for a way to revive his mother. If he did it himself, how could his younger siblings believe it?
He wanted his younger brothers and sisters to live with purpose, even if it was just an illusory guess.
"I do have some time recently, and I can dig out the loaf for you, but I can only guarantee that when the loaf is returned to you, he is still alive and has memories.
Although I have no desire to understand those old events, there will always be people who are interested. If he really rubbed the text of the history, it would be an achievement for me. "
Seeing that Katakuri no longer concealed it, Skyler also said with a smile. Katakuri was silent for a while when he heard the words, and said, "There are still photos."
"Yes. By the way, give the call to King Riku."
The task was confirmed, and Skyler's words changed, Katakuri was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask why, but walked towards King Riku with the phone bug.
When King Riku saw Katakuri approaching, his heart became more and more painful, but his face gradually calmed down. This is a compulsory course for a king.
"Your Majesty Dould III, Vice Admiral Schuyler of the Navy Headquarters has something to do with you."
Katakuri put the phone bug on the table in front of King Riku, and the corners of King Riku's eyes twitched. He suddenly thought in his heart, if he asked Skyler for help, would Katakuri stop? up?
However, this idea only lingered for a while, and was rejected by King Liku, although he hated pirates very much, and even more hated the man in front of him.
But Katakuri really didn't do anything to force him, if he was forced to falsely accuse him, he couldn't do such a thing.
"Lieutenant General Skyler."
After thousands of thoughts calmed down, King Liku calmly said to Skyler on the phone bug, and Skyler also greeted him: "Dolder III, where did you go to save the country after the war?"
The kindness of King Liku is famous in the sea. If there is war in some surrounding neutral sea areas, no matter whether it is a member of the world government or not, the king will extend his helping hand.
After hearing Skyler's words, the corners of King Riku's mouth twitched. With Katakuri around, he almost lost his freedom. He is the king of the countries allied to the world government!
But King Liku still said: "The World Conference has just ended, and I haven't returned to participate in state affairs, what? Is there a war around?"
"New World Haiyan Heqing, where is the war?"
Hearing this, the corners of King Liku's mouth twitched again. Over the past few years, the new world has become quite peaceful, but the reverse of the word peace can never describe the new world.
Skyler was just talking nonsense. After she finished speaking, she suddenly asked: "Dolder III, what do you think of the World Government reopening the seats of allied countries?"
Skyler's topic turned very abruptly. King Liku could hear that Skyler was laying the groundwork for a follow-up topic, but he was indeed interested in this topic, so he said:
"I personally support this issue, and this is not without precedent, there are many countries that did not even have a state when the World Government was established.
But some new countries are not unwilling to submit to the control of the world government, so the development of the seats of the franchise countries is indeed a good thing for these countries, but this issue seems to have not been passed at this session, right? "
"It's just shelved. After all, I can't find a country that can enter the seat of a member country and set an example for other non-member countries. If there is such a country, I believe that the next World Conference will be passed. .”
Skyler adjusted his sunglasses and said, Hearing this, King Liku was silent for a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and said: "I do know that there is a kingdom.
It is not a member of the world government, but it is kind-hearted and has never caused any harm to the world government. However, how can this country become a "model"? "
"It's simple, show your worth."
Hearing this, King Liku resisted the urge to roll his eyes, good guy, of course he knows that the value of display will be noticed, but what talent do those people have? farming?
Farming the land is not worth it, so we can't ask them to grow devil fruits, right? If you can really grow a devil fruit, then the value is indeed there.
However, they may not be able to wait until the world government comes to protect them, and they will be destroyed directly, not to mention... they can't do it.
The phone bug perfectly copied the expression change on King Liku's face at that moment just now, but Skyler didn't care, but continued:
"It doesn't have to be a value that is beneficial to the world government in an all-round way. As long as it is valuable, it is enough. After all, it is valuable and it will be useful. It is just a matter of timing."
King Liku was a little confused, and subconsciously asked, "For example?"
"Ask Katakuri how long it takes to build a new ship."
After Skyler finished speaking, King Liku looked at Katakuri. Katakuri didn't know what kind of riddle the two were playing, but he still said: "Seven months at least, after all, from the capital of seven waters to here, Take safe channels, at least three and a half months."
Katakuri said, and Skyler smiled and said: "That's almost half of the time, if there is a shipyard in the new world that doesn't have to be as bad as those in the capital of seven waters, which shipyard do you think these pirates will choose? "
After the words fell, King Liku became quiet, and Schuyler said straight to the point: "I remember that the Pigmies are best at planting, right? If there are enough raw material resources, the difficulty of opening a shipyard will be greatly reduced.
It's just that the new world is indeed every inch of land and every inch of gold, and they all compete with each other."
Katakuri finally came to his senses at this time, Skyler had already fed the meal to his mouth, he looked at King Riku who was already thinking, and said:
"Your Majesty Dolde III, these days, you should have seen the size of Totland Island. With a little modification, it will be a good forest product, and many docks can be built."
"Forehead"
Unlike the perfunctory talk about business cooperation with Katakuri before, King Liku really started to think about it at this time. If those Dongtata people planted trees of sufficient quality, then the raw materials would indeed be resolved.
With the inventory of Dressrosa, it should be no problem to support the Dongtata people for a few years, and with the planting skills of the Dongtata people, maybe the trees will grow faster.
As for the employees and shipbuilders, it is okay to go to the capital of the seven waters to dig some. After all, the capital of the seven waters has recently consolidated the dock and plans to build a company, which has made many shipbuilders dissatisfied.
And King Liku looked up at Katakuri. If Katakuri is in charge, the safety of the shipyard will indeed be improved a lot, even safer than the capital of seven waters.
But, does he really want to put down his figure and cooperate with a pirate?
Katakuri saw that King Riku hadn't answered. Although he was eager, he didn't open his mouth. After all, this must be at least cooperation, not unilateral coercion or rescue.
"Lieutenant General Skyler, Katakuri, I need to go back to my country to discuss this matter with the minister."
King Liku still couldn't make a decision on the spot, Katakuri frowned, and was about to say something, but Schuyler said first: "Katakuri, escort Dolde III back to the country, let him go with the cooperating Talk to a third party."
"Thank you Lieutenant General Skyler for your understanding."
King Riku breathed a sigh of relief. If Skyler and Katakuri "hinted" him at the same time, he would really be hard to refuse, but Skyler took the initiative to retreat.
Katakuri also took a deep breath, and said to King Liku: "His Royal Highness Dolde III, I will go back to Cake Island first, and then escort you back to Dressrosa, how about it?"
King Riku looked at Katakuri, and this time, he finally took the initiative and said, "Then I will thank you."
"Then I won't bother you, Dolde III. When you are sure, we may discuss the order."
After Skyler finished speaking, he also hung up the phone. King Liku looked at the phone bug who had closed his eyes, and suddenly became interested.
An order from the Navy?
