Chapter 478: Troubled Secretary Runti
"So, from today on, you are the sixth leader of the group, Sand Disaster."
In the meeting room, Kaido announced the addition of new members and gave Crocodile a new identity.
"I just want to watch the show in the special seat."
Crocodile's speech was very awkward, and he seemed to be a little uncomfortable with joining someone else's army, but the reality was that he really couldn't beat Kaido and Lu Li, or even Fujitora.
She was holding a cigarette, looking arrogant. Because she had gotten rid of her past identity, she simply updated her dressing style and walked out of the domineering goddess style.
For Crocodile's speech and attitude, the other leaders had no opinion. Anyway, everyone had a strong personality and was a member of the team. No one would be angry because of Crocodile's little personality.
With the addition of new leaders, the strength of the Beast Pirates has been further improved. Even if they have to go out to attack, they can keep a few powerful leaders to guard the house, and there will be no situation like the remnants of the Kozuki family making trouble.
Just as Wano Country was constantly improving its preparations for the founding of the country with the help of the Island Island Fruit, Wano Country welcomed several special guests one after another.
The world was in turmoil, and the Navy also underwent major changes in the past two days.
Because of the failure of the war on the top, Marshal Sengoku, the commander-in-chief, was held accountable, and Marshal Sengoku also took the initiative to apply for resignation.
Considering his years of hard work and his outstanding strength, the World Government did not convict Sengoku, but only deprived him of his position as marshal and let him retreat to the second line to work in the General Staff.
The position of marshal is vacant, and people all over the world are discussing who will be the next admiral of the navy.
Some people think that if Admiral Akainu had not died, as the person who was the most hardworking and effective in the output of the pirates in the war on the top, he should have been promoted to the position of marshal.
But unfortunately, Akainu has died in the war, and now only Kizaru and Aokiji are admirals of the navy.
The World Government has launched a world conscription, but there are no masters who can fill the vacant position of admiral to join the Navy. The main reason is that the Navy fought too badly in the war at the top, and there is no prestige at all. Even if there are strong people who originally wanted to join the World Government, they don’t want to join the Navy now.
This time, Akainu didn’t come out to grab the position. Just when Lu Li thought that Aokiji would become the Navy Admiral naturally, the news published in the newspaper made Lu Li look weird.
"Rafael?"
Lu Li looked at the name and photo of the new Navy Admiral and realized that the other party had not been wasting time in the past few days. He had actually moved to the top of the Navy.
Originally, Rafael was just a vice admiral of the Navy. This time it was equivalent to an epic double jump. It should have caused a major earthquake in the Navy Headquarters, but it seemed that no storm was aroused, and all the dissatisfied voices were suppressed.
There was no other reason, just because Rafael had a sparring match with the unconvinced Admiral Aokiji, and it happened to be in Punk Hazard (Ice and Fire Island), and directly turned that island into Iceland.
As an explorer, Rafael naturally would not lack the means to finish the fight like Akainu. The fight lasted less than five minutes before the winner was decided.
It was just because they were doing a "friendly competition" within the navy, and Rafael was not convenient to kill Aokiji in front of the people of the world, so he only won by cutting off one of Aokiji's hands and feet.
The description published in the newspaper was that Aokiji was dissatisfied with Rafael and resigned from the navy afterwards. No one knew where Aokiji went afterwards.
But there was a rumor that Rafael might have sent people to hunt down Aokiji, but with the help of Kizaru, Aokiji escaped successfully.
"Tsk..."
Lu Li sighed, "World news is really getting more and more exciting."
From the perspective of justice, Rafael's pursuit of Aokiji was definitely a black material of the World Government. The original competition was arranged by the World Government to witness the fair competition within the navy to judge the strength for promotion, and in principle, it should be stopped at the right time.
Rafael cut off one hand and one foot of Aokiji, making a legendary admiral disabled. It is reasonable for him to want to retire after he becomes disabled, right?
Aokiji has not made any move since he retired, but you, Rafael, sent people to get rid of the "political enemy". Everyone would think that the newly appointed marshal is too petty.
This also indirectly led to the fact that the world recruitment of the navy was not smooth this time, because the strong men felt chilled when they saw it.
They did not have a God's perspective, and did not know that Aokiji had a "rebellious heart". They only thought that the navy marshal was persecuting disabled veterans just because the other party was a political enemy who had opposed him.
In fact, Rafael did play too much. Lu Li, a reckless man, felt that the other party had made a bad move, or that there was a big mistake in the execution.
From the other party's God's perspective, getting rid of Aokiji was right, but Rafael actually handed the matter over to his men instead of doing it himself, and Aokiji really ran away.
And if this so-called "rumor" is true, then Kizaru is also aware of the inside story of this matter, and Kizaru's position is probably going to be shaken at this moment.
In this way, although the World Government has gained a large number of powerful explorers, the loss of Aokiji's people and Kizaru's heart is not really a big supplement to the combat power.
Lu Li retreated that day because he was concerned about the Divine Judgment Forbidden Spell of the Arcane Space, but now he has figured out many of his opponent's trump cards. Without being suppressed by the Demon Subduing Forbidden Spell, he is not afraid of the Rune Adventure Group at all.
Now that they were about to hold Pluto in their hands, and the activation of the King of Heaven was also on the agenda, Lu Li felt that the only thing he had to worry about was the well-hidden Im.
"Mr. Lu, a visitor has arrived."
A female voice called back Lu Li's thoughts. It was Runti who had been transferred to Lu Li's side to assist with paperwork these days.
Most of the members of the Beast Pirates are reckless and stupid. On the contrary, among the six newly promoted Lingkongs in recent years, the Runti siblings are a little smarter and more normal.
Considering that they were also members of the ghost clan and were Kaido's valued descendants, they were sent to Lu Li to help them, and they were considered to be learning from Lu Li's side.
After all, the more smart people the better, and the Beast Pirates can't just rely on Lu Li, a strategist who is not very smart in nature. Runti is still young and can learn things, and he was led by Lu Li when he was a child. The best candidate for further study.
In fact, Peggy Wan was originally nominated by Kaido, but Peggy Wan was very resistant to paperwork, and he didn't want to be bullied by his old sister. After finally finding a chance to separate for a while, he decided He refused, and Kaido didn’t force it.
Of course, Runti is not much better. She is usually a bit silly (dark?) and cute when facing her younger brother, but she is quite irritable when facing others and her words are also very harsh.
Lu Li could tell from a young age that she was not a very patient person, and it was really difficult for her to ask Runti to help him handle paperwork.
Runti, who was wearing a white shirt and light blue skirt, frowned slightly. She obviously didn't like her current job. It was only because she was facing Lu Li that she restrained herself, otherwise she would have lost her temper.
Runti originally thought that she could come to Lu Li and learn some combat-related skills. Who would have thought that Lu Li would be dealing with the founding of Wano these days, or reading newspapers, and using her as a secretary.
"Visitor?"
Lu Li raised his head and threw the newspaper aside.
"The visitor claimed to be a cadre of the revolutionary army, and he wanted to meet our management."
Runti curled her lips and said, "What an unpleasant guy."
"oh?"
Lu Li cheered up, "What's his name?"
Runti tilted her head, as if trying to remember, "It seems to be called... what is it called Bo?"
"Saab?"
Lu Li was a little speechless about Runti's memory, thinking how could there be such an absent-minded secretary.
"Oh, yes, it's Sabo."
Runti nodded and said, "Although he's a bitch, he held an iron rod and fought with Jack without losing. He must be a pretty strong guy."
Lu Lixin said was that an ordinary iron rod? That is clearly a huge steel pipe!
"Let him bring people over. I'm just trying to make a deal with the revolutionary army."
Lu Li said, seeing that Runti looked unmotivated, he stepped forward again and touched Runti's head, "I'll teach you how to do it after you're done."
Runti paused for a few seconds before moving away, her mask blocking the blush on her face, "Don't... don't always treat me like a child."

After finishing speaking, Runti ran out of the office in a hurry.
Not long after, Sabo brought people over. In addition to himself, he also brought Luffy's partner, Nico Robin.
"Hello, Mr. Scourge, you are much younger than you look in the newspaper."
Sabo greeted Lu Li with a hearty smile on his face, but compared to Luffy, he was much calmer as a brother because he had been in the Revolutionary Army all year round and spoke more like someone within the organization.
"I heard that you are the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army?"
Lu Li shook hands with Sabo. Over the past few days, he had absorbed all the longevity energy harvested from the prisoner demon's enhanced characteristics, so he had regained his youth and his hair had turned black.
"I don't dare to be the second in command. I'm just a newcomer among the cadres."
Sabo modestly said that in fact, he did understand himself this way. After all, he was only 20 years old. He felt that his status as a cadre was due to his being a disciple of Long.
In fact, there are currently some people within the revolutionary army who are not very convinced of his status. After all, he has not been able to produce any actual achievements and liberation results.
This visit to the country of Wano for diplomacy was the first step in his growth.
Next, Sabo explained his purpose.
Sabo is here to ask for help, hoping that the Beast Pirates can 'release' Ivankov, Tyrant Bear, and Bonnie.
Lu Li had a strange expression after hearing this, thinking to himself, what kind of brain circuit did the leader of the Revolutionary Army have to come to the conclusion that the Beast Pirates had detained Ivankov and others?
But maybe from Dragon's point of view, he might think that Ivankov should join him directly after leaving the battlefield on top, but he never went to find him, maybe because he was detained by the Beast Pirates.
The actual situation is that Ivankov is very interested in the ruling system of Wano and has been observing and absorbing advanced ideas these days.
It's not that he doesn't want to contact Long, but the Revolutionary Army is not as careless as the Beast Pirates, but more like an underground revolutionary organization. They pay great attention to concealment.
Therefore, it was impossible to contact through the public frequency of the telephone bug. Ivankov tried several public frequencies used by the revolutionary army in the past, but there was no news from them, so he gave up temporarily.
Anyway, he felt that Wano Country was quite safe, and he hoped to take the bear back with him after he was completely cured by Lu Li.
Sabo felt a little ashamed after learning the cause and effect. After once again thanking Lu Li on behalf of the Revolutionary Army, he asked about Luffy, "Is Luffy, the Straw Hat boy, in Wano?"
When asked this question, Nico Robin, who had been silent next to Sabo, also cast an expectant look at Lu Li, even though Luffy had already put a code in the newspaper.
But this was the territory of the Four Emperors after all. She had come all the way to find Luffy, but she was still a little unsure.
"Luffy, he is practicing. If you want to see him, I will call him over when the banquet is held in the evening."
Lu Li was actually surprised to see Sabo asking about Luffy, because Sabo was supposed to have forgotten about Ace and Luffy due to amnesia, but he had no intention of asking in detail and just thought it was the butterfly effect.
As he said that, he looked at Robin again, "I heard Luffy mention you, Miss Robin, can you interpret the text of history, right? Can you help us interpret it?"
Robin personally likes to study history and read historical texts, but after all, this is the historical text held by the Four Emperors. Considering that Luffy wants to become the Pirate King, she still asked calmly, "What did Luffy say? "
"Luffy has already promised me, I'm just asking for your personal opinion."
Lu Li smiled and said, "There's no rush to do this. Let's talk about it after everyone has finished the banquet in the evening."
…………
"Oh—Robin!"
In the evening, a banquet hosted by Lu Li was held in Huadu. Luffy was very happy after seeing Robin, "It's great that you're okay!"
"I hope everyone is okay too."
Robin said with a smile. Seeing how energetic and happy Luffy was, she knew that Luffy was indeed very happy here. She might be a little too scrupulous about the legendary four emperors.
Thinking this, she also relaxed, "It's just that someone might not understand your code. It would be bad if you went to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish."
Luffy's expression froze, thinking that Robin was still Robin, he could always say terrible things in a serious manner.
But he felt that Robin's words were not unreasonable. Even if a person like Zoro understood the code, could he, a road idiot, come to Wano alone?
For a moment, Luffy suddenly felt that he might have been a little impulsive in calling his friends to Wano Country. After all, Wano Country was deep in the new world, and it was very difficult to get here.
But compared to worrying about his friends, Luffy was severely shocked when he saw another person.
"You...are you..."
Luffy looked at Sabo, speechless in surprise. The memory of his death was attacking him, reminding him of the unforgettable pain in his childhood.
Sabo had a smile on his face, "Luffy, long time no see. I'm still alive. Mr. Dragon saved me."
