Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

The opening ceremony of Golden City was not held in the open air.

In other words, there was no relatively formal opening ceremony at all.

It was nothing more than Tezuolo singing a song at the conference venue, fulfilling his childhood wish...

But not to mention, his voice is really good. I guess after he gets rich, he will hire someone to give him tutoring. His skills are in place, his emotions are full of emotions, and his talent is quite good.

A song that expresses the style of a top singer.

Then he came forward to thank Marie Joa, the Navy Headquarters and so on.

Everyone understands this.

After all, it was Marie Joa who was responsible for the establishment of the Neutral Zone. The Navy Headquarters did not embarrass the Golden City and gave the green light to all aspects.

Without the approval and support of these two parties, this neutral zone would definitely not be able to be opened.

As for why not thank the pirate camp.

On the one hand, because this is a public place after all, it is not appropriate to say it.

Didn’t you see that Smoker, the boss behind the Golden City, didn’t show up?

On the other hand, it’s also because Smoker is a pirate. As the King of the Shichibukai and one of the Four Emperors of the New World, there’s no need to thank yourself, right?

The overall celebration process was very quick and simple. After Tezolo expressed his gratitude on the stage, he announced that the Golden City was officially open for business, and nothing else.

Those miscellaneous nobles, such as kings, princes and counts, went to have their own fun after the meeting.

I can't wait.

The real elders were invited to attend the cocktail party later.

As for those Tianlong people, they didn't even participate in the opening ceremony, and no one paid attention to them. Such troublesome guys, as long as they don't provoke others, they are doing good things.

Who has nothing to do to provoke them?

On the other side, Louis naturally received an invitation to the cocktail party, and in addition to him, the navy even sent an entire fleet.

Including Sakaski also came.

There are also some other elite lieutenant generals in the headquarters, such as Dauberman and Ghost Spider.

To be honest, when the navy merged, Louis was really surprised when he discovered that Sakaski's ship was also there.

After all, who in the Navy headquarters or even the outside world who pays attention to the Navy doesn't know Sakaski's character?

A proper hatred of evil.

Even though Sakaski has become more popular and tempered over the years, he is still the leader of the hawkish navy and will not let go of pirates when he sees them.

I don’t know what the Warring States Marshal was thinking about letting Sakaski come over. This would obviously cause trouble.

What if he loses his temper and insists on punishing rape and eradicating evil in the Golden City?

Don't forget, this is a neutral zone, recognized by both the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

What will Louis do then?

Fortunately, after the two parties met, Sakaski took the initiative to assure Louis that he would not mess around, and he did not intend to see the evil party who did not like him come to execute the "Dog Eats the Red Lotus" to execute justice.

Just come here to relax.

Of course, Louis is not stupid. He doesn't believe that Sakaski's purpose here is so simple. When has this guy ever had such thoughts?

I guess Sakaski saw that there would be many respectable pirates participating in this celebration, so he came here to update the information?

Or maybe it's a trial test or something like that?

In fact, it is not difficult to understand if you think about it. Sakaski is responsible for war mobilization in the New World and using force against targets as a general.

It seems quite reasonable to go to this 'front line' to collect intelligence and get in touch with your work goals.

After thinking about it again, Louis considered that Sakaski's temper had indeed improved a lot in recent years, and that everything was on the line when looking at the overall situation, so he didn't say anything more.

Besides, Sakaski persuaded the marshal to come over...

Louis didn't want to bother anymore.

After walking all the way and arriving at the reception venue, the scene was truly a mixed bag, with everyone there.

It was also the first time that Louis II had seen such a scene after living for so long, or in other words, having been in this world for so long.

Needless to say, pirates and navy are mixed together.

The leaders of the dark world...

Big businessmen from all walks of life...

Senior officials of the GM Army and Marigio...

A senior agent of the CP agency, Oshichibukai...

Princes and nobles with relatively special status...such as the Vinsmoke family...

And famous people from all walks of life...

These camps, which were usually unable to hit the eight poles or were generally in a hostile state, were all mixed up in a drinking party at this moment.

Due to various reasons, although the reception was undercurrent, it looked like a big fight would break out at any time.

But on the surface, at least, everyone restrained their tempers and did not cause any real trouble.

It is estimated that Smoker, the World Government and the Navy Headquarters are big enough.

Another reason is very realistic.

That is, although the parties are not so good with each other, they do need such a neutral platform to buffer them.

Such a place is a good thing for any force or individual, and it is an area that can be recognized.

Louis Shan said that although his status as a naval admiral was not low, there were still some people with the same status as him at this reception, and they were not that special.

But despite this, when he entered here, the entire venue was still silent.

The reason is because of the title of 'World's Strongest' on his head.

Although this title was not widely publicized, it was almost recognized by others.

At the same time, Louis, who is regarded by the outside world as the most powerful admiral in history, is now in the limelight.

Regardless of his status, he was also one of the most important figures in this cocktail party.

"Hahahahaha, nice to meet you. You're welcome. Eat and drink well."

As soon as Louis came in, he saw everyone staring at him like this. He was confused and immediately greeted them with a smile.

He said this as if he was the master of this golden city.

Although this sounds unreliable, Louis's amiable look and the atmosphere that had become silent due to his arrival became active again.

There were some people in the venue who had some friendship with Louis, but who didn't usually have close contact with him, and they all got up one after another to clink glasses with Louis and say hello.

On the contrary, Sakaski, who came in with Louis, was not so 'popular', and basically no one greeted him.

But he didn't care about this. He quickly picked up a glass of wine from the tray held by the nearby waiter and joined the crowd directly.

Maybe you saw the target?

From the entrance of the venue, he chatted and laughed with many ghosts and monsters along the way, said hello, and recognized familiar faces, and Louis entered the venue.

He was also holding a glass of wine. He took a sip and looked around. When he saw someone, he walked over with a smile.

When the man saw Louis approaching, his face turned bitter, and he turned to leave.

Louis stepped closer and sped up, and said:

"Hey, hey, are you so stingy? Didn't I just beat you up? Do you still remember it now?"

Good guy, it’s not you who’s emotionally beaten!

Although he felt very unhappy, the man still said:

"I'm trying to avoid suspicion. There are the spy chiefs of the CP agency here, as well as high-ranking officials and important personnel from Marie Gioia, and there are quite a few reporters.

Isn't it appropriate for you, a great admiral, to come in and specifically look for me, the most ferocious criminal in the rebellion? "

Yes, the person who was beaten by Louis was none other than Dorag.

But upon hearing this, Louis smiled and waved his hands:

"Hahahaha, what are you afraid of? This is a neutral zone. And who doesn't know that you, Dorag, are a traitor to the navy? It is not a strange thing for me, the navy admiral, to find you. If those people are willing to misunderstand, let them Let’s go with the misunderstanding…”

Dorag's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had already heard something from what Louis just said.

In the past, Louis would definitely not have such a blatant conversation with him.

And this time...

Does this mean that the Navy no longer cares about Marie Joa's attitude?

In other words... are they ready?

Seeing that Dorag remained silent, Louis smiled a little and did not expose it, but instead joked:

"What? Your energy was severely damaged in Alabasta?"

When the matter of Alabasta was mentioned, Dorag's expression darkened, he was very unhappy, rolled his eyes and said:

"Thanks to you."

"Oh, you're welcome, and don't thank me, I'm not here to protect your GM army..."

Louis said with a cheeky grin.

Dorag almost died from anger at these words.

Am I really thanking you?

But he also knew that what Louis was talking about was not Crocodile's last resort.

If it weren't for Louis who turned the tide in the end, eliminated the poisonous gas, blocked Hades, and killed Crocodile.

I'm afraid that the GM army will most likely be in ruins.

Even if this was not his intention.

But in this regard, Dolag was indeed in the wrong. He owed Louis such a great favor and didn't bother to care about it.

After calming down a little, he lowered his eyelids and lowered his gaze. A breeze blew around him, which seemed to isolate the surrounding sounds, and then he whispered:

"Want to help?"

Of course, Louis knew what kind of help this was.

But he was not willing to let the GM army come out to pick peaches at this final stage, so he scratched his head in confusion and said:

"What help?"

Dolag glanced at Louis meaningfully, then suddenly smiled and continued without speaking.

But he had already made up his mind to go and see the World Conference held this time.

"Well... the Kingdom of Goa has also been invited to participate in this world conference, so we can make some arrangements to sneak into Mary Joa..."

While Dorag was thinking, and preparing to chat with Louis for a while longer, his eyes suddenly shrank slightly, and he looked behind Louis with some toothache, and then nodded at Louis and said:

"Farewell."

After saying that, Dorag left immediately without saying a word and disappeared into the crowd in a few steps. When Louis saw him again, he found that this guy was grabbing Morgans, the president of the News of the World, and was talking. Jedi say something.

I guess they want to change the GM Army's image in public opinion or something?

Louis didn't think much, but looked back curiously. What kind of person could make an old man like Dorag shy away?

As a result, when I turned around, I saw Mihawk and the popular Doflamingo walking around the venue carrying a watermelon knife... Oh no, it was a gorgeous machete.

They are also the Shichibukai of the King, and as 'colleagues', they naturally received invitations to this kind of opening.

Needless to say, Doflamingo is a well-rounded figure in the new world. He has acquaintances basically everywhere and seems to have good relationships with them.

Along the way, I was treated like a protagonist. While walking, I was chatting with all the elders.

But yes, it would be strange if Doflamingo didn't come to this good opportunity to broaden his network and deepen his interpersonal relationships.

As for Mihawk, again, he is simply too idle now. No matter big or small, as long as someone shakes him, he will be there.

Wouldn't it be much happier to wander here than to farm on an isolated island and hang out with baboons all day long?

Maybe you can still see some excitement and participate in it.

Louis then thought about it again. The guy Dorag was avoiding just now was probably Mihawk, right?

It's not that Dolag is afraid of Mihawk, but that he is afraid of being 'tortured' by Mihawk.

Before thinking about it, Mihawk's persistence must have left a very deep impression on Dorag...

While Doflamingo was greeting others, he seemed to have caught sight of Louis. After saying a few polite words to others, he smiled and walked towards Louis with his signature eight-figure step.

He also casually took a glass of red wine from the tray carried by the passing waiter, walked to Louis, and clinked a glass naturally.

"My general, you are really busy."

Doflamingo took a sip of red wine and teased with interest.

Louis also raised his eyebrows in a good mood and said:

"Hehehe, I can't compare to your young master."

After a few pleasantries, Doflamingo said again:

"General, the fluttering fruit and rubber fruit you mentioned before..."

"Any news?"

Louis' eyes lit up.

"Half and half."

Doflamingo first nodded, then shook his head, and then explained to Louis:

"The order for Piaopiao Fruit has been taken. I will hand it over in person when the time comes. You will be able to get it after a while, but this rubber fruit..."

Having said this, Doflamingo looked a little confused and said in confusion:

"...According to the information I have found, the rubber fruit is in Mariejoia, in the hands of the world government... It seems that it is because this fruit has some special meaning? It is difficult to find out anyway. My people said that the government, right I take this fruit very seriously..."

Louis looked puzzled, but of course he was pretending, because he knew in his heart what the true identity of that thing was.

Animal type? Phantasmal beast species? Renren fruit? Nika form!

The legendary sun god.

The original work carries the fruit of destiny.

Naturally it is extraordinary.

But at this time, it is no longer the original work, so do we still need to go to Mariejoia to cause trouble for this so-called Nika fruit?

Obviously not necessary.

As for how to improve Luffy's ability later, will the Piao Piao fruit be bad?

It's the same level of Superman as my own broken fruit, right?

Even if Luffy doesn't like it.

OK, you can.

There are many 'alternative options' in Impel Down. There must be one he likes, right?

And this so-called Nika fruit... Louis has no interest in it at all. It's just the old sesame and rotten millet things in the past.

What Louis cares more about is the future and the present.

That’s not to say that history isn’t important, but we can’t just keep trying to make the most of it!

"I understand. Let's forget about the rubber fruit. Just deal with the fluttering fruit."

Louis nodded and gave an order.

"Row."

Doflamingo also nodded in good faith. After all, he didn't want to go to Mariegio to cause trouble because of this kind of thing. Then, he approached Louis, covered his mouth and whispered in his ear:

"Admiral, if the Navy wants to find suitable reasons and excuses, I have quite a lot of dirty secrets here..."

Louis glanced at Doflamingo with complicated eyes and said:

"Are you really impatient and rushing to the front line even if you bring your own dry food?"

"Fufurfurfurfurfurfur..."

Doflamingo first laughed softly, then drank all the red wine in the glass, and said with a cruel look in his eyes:

"For me, this is my only goal in this life. Now, the goal is right in front of me. Not to mention bringing my own dry food. Even if it means selling iron and dissipating all my family wealth, I will go there!"
