Pirate's Swordsman

There is a reward of 360 million beli.

The heavenly gold was seized, and an additional reward of 500 million beli was added.

The total amount exceeds 800 million, which is already a bounty level only for generals and disasters in the new world. It can be said that in order to eliminate the bad influence of this time, the Navy Headquarters has spent a lot of money.

The Shichibukai at the conference table looked at each other with subtle expressions.

"Killed the Lieutenant General of your navy named Doluo, defeated the good-for-nothing Moonlight Moria, and recently robbed the heavenly gold given to the Celestial Dragons..."

Crocodile smiled and said: "A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old can make such a big noise. It seems that even if we had expectations for this newcomer, we still underestimated him..."

"I have never underestimated this young man."

Bartholomew Bear, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke slowly and muffledly: "Besides, this movement is not big, right? If you think about it, someone here who became a Shichibukai three years ago was also seventeen or eighteen years old at the time. At his age, the movement he produced is still far behind Fire Fist Ace."

These words reminded everyone around the conference table, and they couldn't help but glance at Xia Nuo subconsciously. The latter shrugged and looked at the bear meaningfully, but did not answer the question and say anything more.

"What about the vacant Shichibukai seat?"

Jinbe suddenly asked: "Since Fire Fist Ace has lost his qualification, who will fill the last remaining position?"

"Well, after all, the incident happened suddenly, and the Navy has no suitable candidates for the time being."

Warring States tugged at his beard and said thoughtfully: "But in the following days, the headquarters will draft a suitable list of candidates and conduct screening."

At this point, he paused, then glanced at the crowd and said, "And if everyone here knows a suitable candidate, you can also recommend it to our department, and I will consider it as appropriate."

The last half of the sentence was obviously just for the occasion. The Shichibukai sneered and didn't take it seriously.

Naturally, they would not believe that the Sengokui was in this regard. Considering their opinions, the existence of the Shichibukai system was used to check and balance the maritime structure. If a close alliance was formed between the Shichibukai, it would be the Navy's turn to sit still. Butt.

"Recommended..."

However, Xia Nuo's eyes moved slightly, showing a bit of interest.

Recalling that in the original timeline, Luo who became the Shichibukai was secretly Doflamingo's subordinate, he couldn't help but wonder whether he should secretly train one from his subordinates in the future and send him to the Shichibukai. Location?

It's interesting to think about it. As long as you can hide from the eyes of the World Government, even if you part ways with the Navy in the future and return to hostile relations, you will be able to leave an important undercover agent in the Navy camp, which will make things much easier. .

"Well, since there is only the last position left, we can't make a decision at this meeting."

Just when Xia Nuo was thinking about the feasibility of this plan, Empress Boya Hancock suddenly put down the small file she had been using to trim her nails, yawned lazily, and said, "Then what about this boring meeting?" Isn’t it time to end?”

"It's important that I'm here because it's boring. If there's nothing else, the Nine Snakes Pirates are going to leave now and go back to Amazon Lily."

Warring States was startled. Before he could react, Boya Hancock had already stood up and walked towards the gate at the other end.

When passing by the chair where Xia Nuo was sitting, she paused slightly, let out a slight snort of disdain from her nose, and then left the conference room without looking back and disappeared into the corridor outside the door.

"This woman, as expected, still likes to talk to herself."

At the conference table, Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan saw the empress leaving. He couldn't help but show a hint of anger. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Warring States and asked: "Marshal, do you want me to go out and call her back?"

"It's useless."

Warring States waved his hand and put down the last document in his hand. After looking around the room, he said in a deep voice: "The topics have been discussed, and it can indeed be concluded."

"Then, I will announce here that this King's Shichibukai meeting will be adjourned! Everyone, you can leave on your own."

The vice admirals stood up one after another, saluted Sengoku, and left the table in an orderly manner. On the Shichibukai side, Sand Crocodile Crocodile snorted and chose to leave first.

The way he left was very special. He did not walk out of the conference room door like the others, but the lower half of his body turned into a ball of yellow sand and flew straight out of the open French window.

of course.

The destination of his flight was just a ship docked in the harbor. Alabasta was thousands of miles away from here, and even a user with a powerful natural devil fruit ability would not be able to fly all the way there on his own.

"Brother Xia Nuo, I have to rush back to Dragon Palace City to take care of some urgent matters, so I'm leaving now and will talk to you next time when I have time."

Jinbei came here specifically to say goodbye to Xia Nuo, and after laughing loudly, he strode away.

But Bartholomew Bear remained on the chair without moving. He looked at Xia Nuo quietly, seemed to think for a while, and then he didn't know what he wanted to understand. He stood up silently and turned around to leave quietly. .

So, in the blink of an eye, only Warring States and Xia Nuo were left in Nuo Da's conference room.

"What are you still doing here?"

Warring States was sitting in his seat, lowering his head to organize the scattered documents, feeling the remaining breath not far away, he said calmly without raising his head: "The meeting is over. If you don't leave, you plan to continue in Marineland." Are you going to stay for a few days and recuperate before leaving?"

"I've actually had this idea before."

Xia Nuo sat on the chair with his legs crossed, looked at Warring States and chuckled, "Your headquarters is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a wide view and good scenery. If you pass by normally, it's really comfortable to stay here for a few days. .”

"This is the Navy Headquarters, not a resort hotel."

Warring States' face darkened, he raised his head and glared at Xia Nuo, "If you have any requests, just say it directly, don't make me make unnecessary twists and turns here."

"Okay, I really have something to trouble you with."

Xia Nuo nodded, picked up Arashi who was leaning on the corner of the table, then looked at Sengoku, and said seriously: "Old man, you should be fine now, come to the training ground behind me, let's have a fight. shelf."

"what?"

Warring States had just finished sorting out the last pile of documents, and he picked up the tea cup with some fatigue. He had just taken a sip when he heard these words. He immediately spat out the tea with a "pop", choking and coughing violently.
