Chapter 490
As soon as Skyler's words came out, the others hadn't responded yet. Moria, who was eating snacks, stopped moving his hands and mouth for an instant, and he felt a sense of crisis in his heart!
Because Moriah knows that he is among all the seven martial arts seas, and has the least effect on the world government. It can even be said that he has no effect. He is just a pirate who does not add obstacles to the world government.
Moreover, he didn't add trouble, not because he became Shichibukai, so he didn't add trouble to the world government, but because he completely lost the mind to do things since the battle with Kaido more than ten years ago.
So he chose to settle down in the Mysterious Triangle Sea Area, because there are the fewest things here, and one house can last four years. When the time comes, he will go out for a meeting, and then go back to continue the house.
Such a day is much more comfortable than the days of hard work before, at least there is no need to worry about being hacked that day.
But, Moriah is always uneasy. He always feels that taking so many things for nothing, so many privileges for nothing, is unreliable. Even if the world government asks him to pay some money every year, he feels that it is much more normal.
But the world government did not make such a request, but let him continue to mess around like this. Before that, Moria was only a little uneasy. After all, there is no free lunch in the world.
Until today, when Skyler announced the new list of candidates for Shichibukai, he became extremely panicked, because in his own opinion, he was the one who was most likely to be kicked out of the Qiwuhai ranks.
After all, apart from him, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for anyone else to be kicked out of the Qiwuhai ranks, right?
Mihawk is known as the world's number one swordsman along with Skyler. Although he doesn't make any contribution, he goes to the Navy branch to "point out" naval swordsmen every year.
Xiong is the former king. He joined Shichibukai to raise Tenshangjin legally and reasonably. After he became Shichibukai, the Sobel Kingdom did not default on Tenshangjin again.
But if the bear is kicked out of the Qiwuhai ranks, the Sobel Kingdom will return to the point where it has no money to pay the sky, and the world government can certainly kick the Sobel Kingdom out of the ranks of the franchise countries.
Then what? Send troops to attack the Sobel Kingdom, which has no money? Then, when the time comes, the world government will only get a piece of bare land, and it will chill the hearts of some of the franchise countries.
This is why the Sobel Kingdom had no money to pay the heavenly gold before, but the world government tolerated it, and even took the initiative to find a way for the bear to make the kingdom rich, so the bear will most likely not be kicked out of the ranks of the Qiwuhai.
Boa Hancock? That is the Empress of the Amazon Lily Kingdom. According to a few rumors, everyone in the Amazon Lily is domineering. The first time the Empress went to sea, she received a reward of 80 million Baileys. One can imagine her strength.
Moreover, Amazon Lily is located in the windless zone. Even if it is the navy, only the ships of the generals can sail in the windless zone. It is quite difficult to cancel the position of the Empress Qiwuhai and conquer Hancock.
The most important thing is that the world government has no reason to do this. After all, in order to show that he is not a threat to the world government, Hancock sends Skyler to his door every year to beat him up.
Haku is even more impossible. After all, Haku and Jinpei are the two most critical links to maintain the harmonious relationship between the Dragon Palace Kingdom and the World Government.
It is also an important benchmark for maintaining the equal relationship between mermaids, murlocs and humans, not to mention that Haku has worked hard for the world government and has been serving the world government.
With such a non-threatening and useful Qiwuhai, how could the world government be willing to remove him from Qiwuhai? Isn't that the behavior of a prodigal?
Katakuri? That's the Four Emperors! Lord of the Totland Sea! Although the world government is far from being able to control Katakuri and the waters of Totland.
But Katakuri is there, and that is an important label, that is, the label of "the four emperors are just a member of the world government".
His existence is to make other pirates feel that the Four Emperors are not really that great. Once this prediction becomes normal, the Four Emperors will no longer be scary, at least psychologically.
The last Crocodile is even more impossible. Crocodile is the veteran of the Qiwuhai system and the first person to join the Qibuhai under the king.
When people think of King Shichibukai, Crocodile will be the first to react.
Of course, it's not just because Crocodile joined early enough, but because he doesn't have labels like Mihawk "the world's number one swordsman", Boya Hancock "the empress", and Haku "the murloc" .
But Crocodile means the establishment of the Shichibukai system, and it is possible to kick anyone away, but it is impossible to kick Crocodile away, unless Crocodile himself falls ill and attacks the world government.
After thinking about it in this way, Moria felt that he was the only one left, and he was the only one who could be replaced, and after being replaced, the world government would not lose, and there would only be people with net growth.
After all, the benefits he can produce are zero, and the damage to the world government is also zero. It can be said that there is no difference between him and his absence in Qiwuhai.
He doesn't have the slightest competitiveness, and he can keep his position in Qiwuhai.
And when he was so flustered, Moria found that several Shichibukai also cast their eyes on him, but the emotions in their eyes were different.
Mihawk glanced at him, without any emotion in his eyes, as if he saw a teacup in his life, and he didn't look down, because a teacup is not worth looking down on.
Haku also looked at him, but there was sympathy and regret in his eyes. After all, once Moria left the Shichibukai, then Haku would probably be the weakest person.
Given a choice, who wants to be a poor student? Especially the bottom-ranked poor student? No matter how hard a poor student works and how friendly he is, he still can't get rid of the title of poor student. Haku obviously doesn't want to be a poor student.
Katakuri's eyes are very interesting, it is a kind of eyes of a hunter seeing the prey, because at noon, Moria said that he had a black knife Qiushui as a collection, and he didn't know what to do Play a role.
Katakuri is not a swordsman, and he has no idea of switching to kendo at this time. In theory, the black sword is not attractive enough for him, and it seems to have no effect other than being able to switch to Bailey.
But Katakuri is not alone. He has dozens of younger brothers and sisters. Among them, there are many people who practice kendo. For them, the black sword is a good thing.
For Mihawk and Skyler, they have tempered their own black knives. It is completely unnecessary to take someone else's black knives, and it will even damage their own combat power. Their pride will not let them Interested in other black knives.
But for those who pursue the way of the sword, the sword power from the original owner contained in the black knife is a rare help. If the style is similar, it will be even better.
Therefore, after Moria accidentally revealed the news that he had a black knife at lunch, Katakuri took a fancy to that knife, and was thinking about how to exchange it for this black knife.
But if Moria is no longer Shichibukai, then Katakuri doesn't have to worry about any rules, but can directly plunder.
The gaze cast by Katakuri gave Moria a feeling of facing Kaido back then, but this feeling would be even more terrifying now, because Katakuri now is compared to Kaido twenty years ago. Much stronger.
But Xiong didn't look at Moria, even though he was sitting next to Moria, he just closed his eyes and seemed to be sleeping, but he kept rubbing the book cover with his hands, obviously he was just not interested.
Hancock didn't even look at Moriah. The empress was now full of thoughts on how to hurt Skyler in the challenge. All kinds of combat knowledge and imaginary scenes had filled her brain, and she couldn't spare it. Free to think about anything else.
Crocodile looked at Moria, with only disdain in his eyes. He just looked down on Moria, and felt that Moria was the only one who would be removed from the list of Shichibukai under the king.
Moria felt the pressure from all directions, which made him extremely terrified. He looked at Skyler and said struggling:
"Lieutenant General Schuyler, when he joined the King's Qibuhai, the World Government promised that as long as they did not attack the World Government, the institutions under the World Government, and the countries that joined the World Government, they would not be kicked out of the Qibuhai ranks. .
This is what the World Government itself promised back then, and I have not overstepped in the slightest! "
Hearing Moria's struggling self-defense, Skyler was stunned for a moment, and then realized why Moria said such a thing, which made her a little dumbfounded, waved her hand and said:
"Molia, you are safe. As long as you maintain the status quo, you can always enjoy the benefits that Shichibukai brings to you. Rest assured, as long as you do not violate the original regulations, the world government and navy will not treat you badly. "
Every Shichibukai, when joining Shichibukai, has different benefits and restrictions. For example, Moria is a very primitive version that can enjoy benefits if he is not an enemy of the world government.
However, Mihawk has fewer restrictions. He can invite swordsmen in the world government and its institutions to fight. As long as the other party agrees and there is no death, he can continue to enjoy the benefits of Qibuhai.
Although Moria did not take the initiative to do anything, he did not violate the conditions set at the time, and there was indeed no reason for him to be removed from the ranks of Shichibukai, and Skyler did not think about expelling him.
Moria breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Skyler say this, but the others were more or less puzzled. After all, they didn't attack Moria, so what are the navy and the world government trying to do?
Even Moria felt that everyone else was irreplaceable, as if it was inappropriate to remove anyone.
Or is it that the world government didn't think about removing anyone, but just made a shortlist to urge them to continue working hard? But if this is the case, isn't it completely treating them as subordinates?
Moria thought, and his eyes became a little weird. It seems that the world government doesn't want to stop at cooperation? But want to further control them?
He Moria doesn't care, after all, he doesn't have any assets, but other people are different, especially Hancock and Katakuri.
To control Moria, the world government would at best exchange for a huge broken ship, and some really shady people.
But if you control Katakuri or Hancock, you can get the whole kingdom, especially Totland, which cannot be summed up by one kingdom.
The sea area of Totland, but there is another name - "All Nations". Although it has not reached the point of truly all nations, it can also be seen that the territory of Totland is wide.
Thinking of Katakuri's Totlan, Moria unconsciously clenched his fists, and the biscuits in his hands were crushed. He looked at the other Shichibukai with extremely complicated eyes.
'You are amazing! You are noble! You were born to eat this bowl of rice! I shouldn't belong here, and I'm obviously not capable enough, but I ate this bowl of rice greedily.
In the end, I still didn’t have enough to eat, and even now I’m in a dilemma, embarrassed, unlike you, all of you are proud of the spring breeze, my fists are clenched red, my teeth are about to be crushed, jealous! envy! '
Moriah's sudden emotional change made everyone else look at him, even Xiong, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but look sideways at Shichibukai beside him.
After being watched by everyone, Moria suddenly woke up. How could he show hostility towards these people? Did he want to die? !
For a moment, Moria felt that his blood pressure had risen a lot, so he looked at Skyler, forcibly changed the subject and asked, "Lieutenant General Skyler, can you tell me the reason for the addition of Shichibukai candidates? "
Skyler was also extremely curious about Moria's emotional changes, but since he forced the topic back, Skyler couldn't spend it, so he followed Moria's words and said:
"There are two main reasons. The first is that the world government doesn't want to have the situation that was called Qiwuhai under the king before, but they can't get together the Qiwuhai. There are more candidates. What happens in the future, the world government There will be no loss."
Skyler joked that although the words were provocative, everyone here has been in the sea for many years, and they have a high tolerance for such "jokes".
They were all waiting for Skyler's next words. Seeing that no one was cheering him on, Skyler felt a little bored, shook his head, and continued: "The second reason. That's the factual reason.
Although the treatment you enjoy is different, and the obligations you need to perform are also different, but one thing is certain, that is... you cannot be an enemy of the World Government! "
After Skyler finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent. None of these people were really stupid. They knew what Skyler was implying in an instant. Even McKinsey became nervous at this time.
Crocodile subconsciously touched the cigar box in his pocket, and frowned. Skyler smiled and said again: "Crocodile, please recommend someone to take your place."
"What?!!"
