Chapter 78: Becoming a Shichibukai
Moria hurriedly used the power of the devil fruit, riding on the bat cloud, and rushed towards Aokiji.
On the side of the horror three-masted sailboat, Moria's men gathered together, all holding weapons nervously, looking at Aokiji with a vigilant look, and everyone surrounded Aokiji inside and outside.
However, even so, it could not relieve the tension and panic in the hearts of the people. Some people had sweat on their heads, and their hands holding weapons were trembling slightly. There was no way to hold the weapons steadily. No one dared to move, let alone take the initiative to shoot.
Aokiji looked at these people, but did not do anything. He just looked around curiously. This was the first time that Aokiji came to such a place, and this kind of large ship comparable to an island was also the first time that Aokiji saw it. I just don't know how it was built. Everything here is very new to relatives. If it weren't for the mission, Aokiji didn't know that there was another place like this in the first half of the Grand Line.
Just as Aokiji kept looking around, he suddenly felt something and looked up.
Moriah is here.
Looking at the man in front of him, Moriah had to be cautious and let his men stay away. If they really started fighting, staying here would only be a hindrance and would be useless.
"If they came here specifically to catch me, they shouldn't have sent out a general!"
Moriah said to Aokiji,
"I, Moriah, shouldn't have such a big face that the general would come here specially!"
"Ah la la la!"
"It seems that I guessed wrong. I came here specifically for you, Moriah!"
Aokiji looked at Moriah and said,
"But don't be so nervous!"
Moriah became more nervous when he heard what Aokiji said. As for what Aokiji said about not being nervous, who would believe such words?
Seeing Moriah like this, Aokiji didn't explain anything, but slowly took out a letter and a Den Den Mushi from his clothes and handed them to Moriah.
When Moriah saw this, he knew what Aokiji came here for, and invited Moriah to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea system was only proposed not long ago. The current Seven Warlords of the Sea are not yet full, and the Navy is still looking for suitable personnel. They sent Moria in person this time, which means that among the many pirates, the World Government chose Moria.
Faced with this matter, Moria was not too surprised. After all, Moria was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the original work, and this matter was still within Moria's expectations.
Open the envelope, and the conditions for becoming a Seven Warlords of the Sea are written inside. It is nothing more than allowing pirates to plunder legally and obey the command of the World Government when necessary, plus some frameworks, which constitute the Seven Warlords of the Sea agreement.
As for this Den Den Mushi, it should be the Den Den Mushi that can contact Sengoku!
"Baji!"
"Moses, this is Sengoku."
Moria answered the Den Den Mushi,
"Hey hehe..."
"This is actually true, how could such a good thing happen to me?"
"Marshal Sengoku?"
Moria said,
"And you sent Aokiji here, if he doesn't agree, he will come to kill people!"
"You are really a wise general!"
On the other side, in the marshal's office in Marineford, the headquarters of the Navy, Sengoku heard the voice on the phone and knew that Aokiji had arrived at Moria.
However, this Moria seems to be different from the previous Moria, and has become a little smarter. It seems that after the battle with Kaido, he has made some progress.
"Everything is for justice, you scum of the sea!"
"I believe you also know about the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Now, I formally invite you to become a Seven Warlord of the Sea and accept the jurisdiction of the World Government."
"Moria, now I am going to do something under the order of the Navy Admiral!"
"You want..."
Before Sengoku finished speaking, Moriah yelled at Sengoku,
"Asshole, what do you think of me, Sengoku!"
"I am not your subordinate, let alone your servant."
"So, do you need to give up your position as a Seven Warlord of the Sea?"
On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku ignored Moriah's roar and spoke calmly into the phone.
"No, I just want to say that the introduction of the Shichibukai system is actually a compromise and concession by the navy to pirates. Your navy is the loser."
"Marshal Sengoku, it should be your navy that is in a mess now. How about it? It's not easy to be a marshal in the era of pirates!"
Moria retorted to Den Den Mushi,
"What's more, it is clearly written here that the Shichibukai must obey the orders of the World Government during special periods, but not the orders of your navy."
"Marshal Sengoku!"
"Asshole, you dare to be so arrogant!"
In the office of the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku was so angry that he slammed the table. He hated Moria's behavior of rubbing salt into the wound.
However, it must be said that what Moria said was true. In recent days, the navy has been troubled by internal and external troubles. The World Government has been suppressing it, and some generals are ready to move. Moreover, the tragic defeat of the New World Navy has directly triggered a wave of pirates. People from all over the world have gone to sea, which has put the current navy under severe test.
In fact, there is more than that. Because of the anti-aging surgery, the Navy has been missing five years of young elites for a long time. This is a bigger blow to the Navy than any other. But this matter cannot be made public, and the pain can only be silently endured.
But when I think about it, Moria is changing the subject, and then I get angry, so I can negotiate a better price. Moria doesn't want to be a Shichibukai, but still wants some benefits.
It seems that after being split open by Kaido, Moria's head has become much brighter than before, and it is simply enlightened. But what Sengoku doesn't know is that Moria has changed his soul.
"Don't deliberately change the subject, you must complete this matter."
"There are no conditions."
"Either become a Shichibukai and complete this task, or just stay in the city of Push!"
Sengoku's very arrogant words came from the phone, and then he hung up directly. After listening to this, Moria complained,
"You are the admiral of the navy after all, can you have some dignity!"
"It's really unreasonable!"
Moria was complaining about Sengoku's shamelessness, when he suddenly felt a chill all over his body and saw that Aokiji was ready to fight.
"Okay, you are all big guys!"
"I agree, is it okay if I agree?"
Seeing Moria signing the Seven Warlords Treaty readily, Aokiji put the treaty away with satisfaction.
"Welcome to become a Seven Warlords."
"The Den Den Mushi in your hand is used for communication, keep it safe!"
"The news of becoming a Seven Warlords will be published in the newspaper tomorrow."
"The most important thing is to complete this task."
Aokiji took out another piece of paper from his clothes and handed it to Moria. Then he turned around and rode away on his bicycle.
Just when Moria was still in a daze, Aokiji's voice came from the sea again.
"Ice Age!"
In an instant, thick ice formed on the sea, and the entire terrifying three-masted sailing ship was frozen.
This is a threat, a naked threat.
No wonder Moria was so afraid of the navy in the original work, it turned out that this was the time that left a shadow. Others were all said in a nice voice by the vice admiral of the navy, but when it came to Moria, it was simply frightening, okay?
Become stronger, only by becoming stronger can you have more say.
Never, never, the kind of thing in the original work will happen again, and Moria will not allow such a thing today to happen again in the future.
