I only want to be a Shichibukai when I have Bengyu

The pirate ship is docked in the harbor, and the island's leading outstanding coating craftsman is working hard on the pirate ship. This is already his third day of work on the pirate ship. The coating is about to be completely completed. When he thinks The generous rewards that can be obtained immediately will give the old craftsmen even more motivation to work.

As for the black skull and crossbones flag hanging on the top of the mast.

The old craftsman doesn’t care!

As long as you're willing to pay, you're a good customer no matter who you are.

In the Champaody Islands, a place where good and bad people are mixed, no good person can survive without rubbing sand in his eyes.

"Hey, Skar, isn't Boss Ace back yet?" A shout came from the shore.

"no!"

Skaar, who was sitting on the side of the deck, waved his hand. As the intelligence agent of the Spade Pirates, he represented all the members on the ship and was responsible for supervising the coating work of the old craftsman. The old shipwright worked for three days. He stayed here for three days.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Who makes their captain a willful guy?

Everyone’s default vice-captain, Mr. Ship’s Doctor, although he has a hobby of writing novels, is very stable and reliable. However, because he is so reliable, he has to follow their beloved captain to help everywhere. Wipe your ass.

Otherwise, with the captain's temper, as long as he enters the town, he will cause a chaotic scene within ten minutes. However, the Chambord Islands are different from other places. If he accidentally collides with the Tianlong people here, he will cause trouble. , but it will attract the admiral.

so,

The ship's doctor had no choice but to work tirelessly and closely monitor the captain who was like a humanoid troublemaker all day long.

Skaar pushed away the skull mask on his face, looked at the Scorpene fish man walking up the gangway carrying a large wooden box, and asked curiously: "Vores, what are you carrying?"

"It's ammunition!"

Scorpene fishman, Wores replied with a hearty smile.

"There are also a few books that Teacher Michal asked me to purchase."

"Teacher...he hasn't gone out for three days."

Wores carried the books and ammunition into the cabin and gave the things to the sniper teacher Michal who didn't like to go out. Because he was a man with the title of teacher, he was also called teacher on the ship, including the captain. It's also called that.

Next,

The members of the Spade Pirates are returning one after another.

And basically everyone brought something with them, including food, maintenance materials, drinks, and some random souvenirs and other bits and pieces that they had no idea what they were for.

Even the lynx, the pirate group's pet and named "Kodaz" by the captain, boarded the ship with a wild boar three times larger than itself in its mouth.

Scar was shocked when he saw it.

"Are there any wild boars this big on the Chambord Islands?"

"It's the pigs captured by the Colosseum from other islands! Those idiots in the Colosseum also wanted to capture Kodaz, but Kodaz knocked them all down, and they caught another wild boar to calm down."

Ganliu of the Long Hand Clan who came back with Kodaz explained.

"Oh! Kodaz, you are really good at this!"

Skar gave a thumbs up and praised the lynx for preparing dinner ingredients for everyone.

The wild boar was thrown on the deck. Kodaz squatted on the wild boar's belly, raised his head proudly and barked twice.

"Scall, haven't Boss Ace and Mr. Deus come back yet?"

The same question was raised again.

This time,

The questioner was the swordsman on the ship, Kukai.

"You should be back soon, right? The coating is complete..." Skar looked at the island and replied a little absentmindedly. The old craftsman had completed the coating half an hour ago and took the remaining reward. I left happily, the pirate ship could set sail to the new world at any time.

But the biggest problem now is,

Their captain is still wandering away and has not returned.

"At this time... it's almost time to come back!"

Scarr murmured.

at the same time,

A navy warship docked and landed on the Chambord Islands.

————

time,

Push forward a little.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

"Major Tina, we meet again!"

"Prince Elvus, please come this way. Marshal Sengoku is waiting for your arrival." The beautiful Major with a special tongue was sent out to greet Elvus. The reason is very simple. There is no one like her in the Navy Headquarters. I am more familiar with the school officer of Elus.

Smoker, a bad-tempered mad dog, didn't even stay at the headquarters for a full day before he was given a mission and left Marinefando. Now he is still wandering on the sea!

Even General Kuzan did not express any objection.

Although Lieutenant General Karp and the three rear admirals are still at the headquarters, the Navy Headquarters also wants to be proud. General officers and colonels are often combined and called generals, which means high-ranking officers in the military. But it is obvious that generals are the real officers of the Navy. At the top level, school officials are just the backbone.

The road to the marshal's office is not very far.

However, I still received a lot of curious looks on this not-so-long journey. It seems that even in the Navy Headquarters, there are many people who like to watch the excitement. Or maybe watching the excitement is a common feature of all human beings?

Although the journey was short, it did not delay Elus and Tina's chat.

Well, although the topic basically revolves around Smoker, the mad dog who was expelled from the headquarters.

"Going to the East China Sea? Isn't this a bit...too far?"

From the Navy Headquarters, Donghai, which is known as the "weakest sea," was kicked away. Even though he was directly promoted from major to colonel, can the headquarters and branches compare? Not to mention that Smoker is a natural ability user. If such a talent is not polished in the headquarters, it would be a bit of a waste to throw it to the East China Sea to mold...

"Smog, he is too willful. It will be good for his future if he is put in the branch and tries to serve as a commander... These are the exact words of General Kuzan."

Tina repeated what she heard.

He is not worried about what problems Elus will have after hearing these words. After all, unlike other members of the Shichibukai, Eleus is the prince of a country that joins the World Government, and it is not a pirate country. From the above point of view, it naturally belongs to the government.

Regardless of the constant quarrels between the Navy, the World Government, and the various franchised countries, that is also a matter of his own family, and he is completely different from the pirates.

so,

Tina and Eleus were not so restrained when talking.

As long as there is no information that is explicitly prohibited from being leaked, there is nothing else to hide. Even if it is military secrets, they are classified on a per-person basis.

"Are you being stubborn? Aren't you worried that you'll end up in the East China Sea?"

"This is not something I can comment on. Also, the marshal's office has arrived."

The brown-red aster wood door carved with seagulls was closed tightly, and a gold-framed and black-backed sign with the title "Marshal's Office" hung on the door.

Major Tina stretched out her hand and knocked on the door.

"Boom!"

The knock on the door echoed in the empty corridor.

"Marshal Warring States, Prince Eleus has arrived." The moment the knock on the door fell, Tina loudly conveyed the message.

"Please come in."

The answer came quickly.

After receiving a response, Tina pushed open the unlocked door. She stood sideways at the door and stretched out her hand to invite Elus to go first.

"Huh? It's surprisingly simple!"

He took long strides and walked into the office of the most powerful person in the Navy Headquarters.

After entering the door, his first impression was that of simplicity, a large and simple brown-red desk, a dark blue couch placed against the wall, a coffee table, and a bookcase... In addition to these practical things There are no fancy decorations on the outside, and the most eye-catching thing is the big characters on the back of the sofa.

Absolute justice——

The black and white writing on the paper was framed and hung on the wall.

"This is the Navy Headquarters. Of course it cannot be compared with your palace, Prince Elus."

The man sitting behind the desk stood up and welcomed Eleus with a smile. He walked out from behind the desk and extended his right hand like Aleus, "Prince Eleus, it is an honor to be with you." You meet, I am Admiral of the Navy, Warring States Period."

"This is what I should say, Marshal of the Warring States Period. It's an honor to meet you."

Eleus stretched out his hand.

shake hands,

release.

After exchanging pleasantries, Sengoku invited Elus to sit down on the sofa. A secretary brought tea and snacks just in time. Tina, as a major officer who had some friendship with Alus, also stayed as a guest.

After sitting down,

Holding the hot tea, Elvus finally calmed down and carefully looked at the Warring States Marshal, who was known as a wise general.

He is wearing a snow-white military cap, but it is different from ordinary military caps. On the top of his hat stands a seagull with wings spread, which is the symbol of the navy. There is a black and white smile on his gentle smile. He wore framed frog glasses and his long beard was braided into a braid.

Of course, this is just appearance.

Elus's probing nerves clearly detected the terrifying power deliberately suppressed under the marshal's gentle smile, especially the majestic vitality, which could definitely defeat the white beard that had turned into a medicine jar. It was obviously People from the same era...

It can only be said that the white-bearded father was too ruthless in squandering his body when he was young, and it is not as good as the Warring States Marshal who knows how to take care of it.

"Prince Elus, am I rude in any way?"

Sengoku keenly caught Elus' scrutinizing gaze.

"No, I'm sorry. I was just curious for a moment. If I remember correctly, the Warring States Marshal is also a user with the ability of the Phantom Beast?" Elus withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and casually made a response.

"...I didn't expect anyone would remember me, an old man who hasn't done anything in almost twenty years."

Sengoku, who was smiling, looked deeply at Elus.

"Where? I have read the report of the battle where you and Lieutenant General Garp teamed up to capture the Golden Lion dozens of times. Unfortunately, I was still a little old child at the time and could not see the legendary sea with my own eyes... ···Ahem, it’s a pity that we didn’t get to see the navy marshal and the navy hero join forces.” Elus said seriously.

Sengoku rolled his eyes.

Legendary sea...what?

It's a pity that we didn't see that bastard Golden Lion showing off his majesty, right?

really,

Today's young people are very poisoned by the era of great pirates set off by Roger. Even princes like Elus have been affected. It's really a headache!

"I am a phantom beast, a person with the ability of the Human Fruit and the form of the Great Buddha."

Warring States clearly stated the name of his fruit.

Although he has basically never experienced a fierce battle of that level since the battle where he and Garp teamed up to capture the Golden Lion at the Navy Headquarters, he knows very well that it is not difficult to know his fruit ability as long as he inquires carefully. Details.

"I heard that Prince Elus is also a phantom beast type user? I wonder if it can satisfy the curiosity of the following old man?"

Sengoku asked tentatively.

Regarding the specific abilities of Elus, although the Navy has collected a lot of intelligence and shared some information from the World Government, it is still in a very vague state.

There is no record at all in the devil fruit illustrated book.

The intelligence data collected so far alone is not enough to clarify the specific abilities of Elus's phantom beast species.

Of course, he didn't expect Elus to break it into pieces and explain the specific abilities and characteristics to himself. It would be best if he could gain something. Even if he gained nothing, it was just chatting, and there was no more loss anyway. And this topic was originally initiated by Eleus himself.

He was just following the trend.

"Hmm... How should I put it? The Devil Fruit illustrated book collected by our family is a incomplete version, so I don't know what the official name of the Devil Fruit I ate is. Anyway, the basis of my ability is the Bat Fruit. I I named it the Black Winged Demon Form."

Eleus also said it happily.

Anyway, animal-type ability users are different from some superhuman-type ability users who like to play tricks. The power of the animal type does not lie in the mystery. Its power lies in vitality, endurance, resilience, and some aspects such as flying, The characteristics of animals such as burrowing and sprinting.

And he didn't believe that Sengoku could figure out the various qualities of 'reiatsu' from this name.

He himself still hasn't fully developed the use of reiatsu!

"Bat fruit, black-winged demon form? It is indeed unheard of."

Warring States thought about it for a while. Not only was there no record in the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, but there were also no similar records in the many history books and documents he had read. In this regard, apart from sighing about the miracle of creation, there seemed to be nothing to say. .

"Marshal Sengoku, we can study the Devil Fruit matter slowly. Well, what we want to talk about now should be the Fire Fist matter, right?"

Seeing that the topic might go astray, Elus, who was unwilling to say more on this issue, tried to get the topic back on track.

"Fire Fist... Prince Elus, you should already know the details of the mission, right?"

In an instant, the gentle smile on the Warring States Marshal's face faded, and his calm and confident aura filled every corner of the room.

"Winning Fire Fist to join the King's Shichibukai, but I'm just a foil. I'm not in charge of the specific operations. The Navy is responsible for the specific execution... Isn't that right?"

"Lieutenant General Doro and you, Prince Elvus, will act together. We have arranged for our eyes to keep an eye on Fire Fist's actions on the Chambord Islands. When we go to the island, there will naturally be someone to guide us. Prince Elvus, you..." ···Please help Lieutenant General Doluo hold off the battle."

although,

He didn't think there would be any problem for the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters to deal with a rookie pirate who had not mastered Haki.

But since the World Government has arranged it this way, he doesn't have any objections.

Even though he knew in his heart that Elus might have other tasks, as long as it was harmless to ordinary civilians, he didn't bother to delve into it. He was just a pirate, and no matter what fate he met, it wasn't worth his waste of sympathy. .

"Lieutenant General Doro, right? I understand."

Eleus nodded, then looked up at the clock on the cupboard. It was already half past one in the afternoon, "Well, can we leave now?"

"Yes, the warship is ready and parked at the port. It can set off at any time after you, Prince Elus, and Lieutenant General Doro reunite."

Sengoku nodded and replied.
