Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

Chapter 336 Spending money is a science

Skyler spent the next three days in confusion and anxiety, but... nothing happened at all. Even when she took the Zhanye detachment directly to the banquet hall for dinner, no one dared to stop her, not even the banquet. The hall also added seats.

Even as more and more kings, royal families and envoys from the participating countries came, the banquet hall was even directly connected to the room next door to make the banquet room larger and accommodate more people.

Sengoku and He, who were originally very dissatisfied with the two bastards Skyler and Garp, stopped talking at this time. After all, as senior leaders, they also hoped that the Navy would receive better treatment.

"Bernser Saint committed suicide."

In the early morning of the fourth day, the first day of the official World Conference, when the top brass of the navy met, Sora walked over, said this, and then walked into the conference room.

The senior leaders of the Navy looked at each other. Unknowingly, Skyler stood here, no longer so disobedient, and she seemed to have become a real part of the senior leadership of the Navy.

It's just that... she still doesn't have much exposure to secrets. Of course, Skyler is too lazy to learn about the Navy's confidential documents now. Her "ban" has long been revoked, but she won't look at those secrets.

Those secrets are very important to the Navy, and at the same time... there are some dirty and unfair actions, but in order to achieve the goal, the Navy still did it.

On the one hand, it became a secret because the documents involved too many people and forces. On the other hand, they didn’t want the dirty side of the navy to be leaked, and Skyler didn’t bother to look at it.

Knowing and having a clear understanding are two completely different feelings. Skyler knew that there was darkness and filth in the navy, and she could tolerate it for the sake of general order, but she didn't want to ruin her mood.

At this time, they learned the news of Saint Bernser's suicide. Several people looked at each other. Finally, it was Garp who broke the silence first. He scratched his head and said: "This Celestial Dragon is actually so cowardly?"

"Garp! Be careful what you say!"

Warring States frowned and said something. Garp did not restrain himself at all. He patted the shoulder of Skyler who had an expression of approval and said, "What are you saying?! If the sky falls, my daughter will bear it first!"

"I tm..."

Skyler still restrained her emotions. After all, she had no idea why. Why did those five old stars tolerate her so much?This problem has troubled several people for several days, but they just can't figure it out.

"Hehe~"

Porusalino couldn't help laughing at this time, and was glared at by Sengoku and He, and instantly switched to that half-dead face.

"Let's go in first, the meeting is about to start."

He shook his head, unwilling to delve deeper. After that, everyone nodded and walked towards the conference room.

In the conference room, there is an oval conference table, which is enough to accommodate 300 people. More than 100 participating countries, basically the king or the leading envoys, are attending the meeting. There are only seven people on the navy side.

Nine people came from cp, they should be the chiefs of cp1-cp9, because Skyler saw Spangdine and Spandam and his son. According to the documents issued by the World Government last year, Spandam seemed to have been promoted to the chief of cp5. .

As for cp0, he didn't see it. Skyler and Garp looked at each other and understood the disdain in each other's eyes.

Just some people who don't even dare to show their faces openly.

When several CP agency officers saw the mocking smiles of Garp and Skyler, they immediately understood. In an instant, the faces of the nine CP officers turned gloomy.

Especially Spangdyne and Spandam, their faces were downcast, and steam was coming out of their ears and eyes. But Spandam snorted out of nowhere as he thought of something.

Seeing the Five Old Stars approaching not far away, he deliberately said loudly: "I heard that the Navy has monopolized a surgical fruit! We CP9 sent the Devil Fruit, which is worth no less than the surgical fruit, to the World Conference. It should arrive tomorrow!"

Wulaoxing heard Spangdine's words and couldn't help but look at him. Others also looked at Wulaoxing, but the eyes of the navy men narrowed slightly.

Because the mustachioed Wu Laoxing's pupils were now white, comparable to the whites of his surrounding eyes. In fact, judging from the way he walked... he was already blind.

Skyler quickly withdrew her gaze. She really didn't want to think about these incomprehensible things. Instead, she looked at Spangdyne and retorted:

"Can it be delivered tomorrow? Why do I feel that... there must be some accident on the way?"

After Skyler finished speaking, the faces of the nine CP officers became even more gloomy, and Spangdyne directly slapped the table, but perhaps because the force was too weak, the table made no sound at all.

"Bru~Bru~"

Spangdyne pointed at Skyler, and the phone bug on his body suddenly rang. Among the five old stars, the blond five-old star frowned and said, "What? You even forgot that you are not allowed to bring phone bugs to the meeting?!"

Spangdain laughed along and took out the phone and said: "Sorry, it's just... this is a direct communication with the CP9 members who transported the fruit. I want you to know the progress of the fruit as soon as possible. .”

Spangdine's appearance made several people in the Navy frown. Sengoku looked at He and said in a low voice: "It seems... CP wants to take revenge."

He nodded and looked at Spangdyne opening the phone bug. Her expression became more solemn because Spangdyne was carrying a phone bug with a loudspeaker function.

"Hey! Fuzifu? Did the rubber fruit arrive? Hahaha~ As expected of you, the efficiency is really high!"

"Rubber fruit!"

Upon hearing the name of this Devil Fruit, participants from the Navy, CP, Guards, and participating countries all became serious. Even the Five Old Stars threw their weapons at the phone bug in Spangdine's hand. look.

I originally thought that the Devil Fruit that Spangdyne just said was worth no less than the fruit of surgery was just an exaggeration to highlight his achievements and suppress the navy.

But if it's a rubber fruit...it seems to be worthy of the evaluation of being "worth no less than a surgical fruit".

Spanda felt the focus of the surrounding eyes at this time, and his face became even more proud. He held his head high and looked down at the navy, wantonly and rampant, especially when he saw Skyler frowning.

It seems...this hateful female navy has finally lost to herself!

Spandain was elated, but he didn't know that Skyler was not frowning at all because Fozifer was about to deliver the rubber fruit, but... could this Devil Fruit really still be delivered?

As one second, two seconds... passed, the arrogance on Spandaine's face gradually subsided, he lowered his head and whispered to the phone bug:

"Fozifu! What's going on? Can you hear me?"

"Old... boss... the fruit... is gone."

From the other side of the phone bug, Fuzford's voice sounded weak, but because the phone bug had a loudspeaker function, his guilty voice spread throughout the conference room.

Skyler had a "Sure enough" look on his face, while Spangdyne made a 180-degree change of expression and said, "Gone!? What do you mean gone?!"

"It's just...it's gone...it was...robbed."

Fozifu didn't seem to know that every word he said was being broadcast, and when he responded truthfully, Spangdyne's face became extremely flustered and he said, "Who is it?!"

"It seems...the red-haired pirates..."

"Snapped!"

This time, Spangdyne finally made a sound by smashing the table. He looked at Skyler, who was laughing even more wildly than before, and roared: "Skylar Grey! Are you involved in this matter?" ?!”

"boom!"

Before Skyler could respond, Sengoku and He slapped the table at the same time. Unlike Spangdyne, two big holes appeared on the solid conference table under the tremendous force of the two navy executives.

Warring States shook off the crumbs in his hand, stood up, looked at Spangdine coldly, and said: "Spandyne, you'd better explain to me what kind of shit you ate to say such a thing! "

The three generals also stood up silently at this time, each taking a pose, but magma, frost, and glitter emerged on the three of them.

In an instant, the conference room turned into a battlefield of blood, and everyone in the navy vented their murderous intent unscrupulously.

Spangdain gritted his teeth. He knew that he had said the wrong thing and completely angered everyone in the navy, but... he had to hold on and said: "If she was not involved, how did she know that there would be an accident on the road? of?!"

"That's it!"

Although he was shaking with fear, Spandam still spoke out in support of his father.

Many people from the franchise countries also looked at Skyler, but they didn't realize that the five-old star didn't even look at Skyler, but looked at Spangdyne with sullenness.

Skyler didn't care. He crossed his legs, adjusted his sunglasses, and said, "Isn't it normal for CP to fail when doing things? If it succeeds, it would be surprising, right?"

Skyler's strange words caused the murderous intent of several friendly people to freeze, and then they couldn't help but laugh. The other seven CP officers were already eager to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

This is the first time I have seen such a person who is eager to show his face for a beating. This kind of person is actually one of my colleagues. It is really... a shame! ! !

It's obviously your CP9's mistake, why should the entire CP organization bear this infamy?

At this time, Fuzfu, who was opposite the phone bug, also knew that his mission had failed and was completely exposed. He kept mumbling and didn't know how to speak.

Spangdine looked at the phone bug and cursed: "Trash! Why don't you go find the fruit quickly?! If you can't find it within three days, just go and apologize!!!"

After saying that, Spangdine hung up the phone and was about to sit down angrily when the curly-haired Wulaoxing said, "I just heard the promise that the rubber fruit will be delivered tomorrow."

"Ah? Lord Wulaoxing, I..."

Spangdain's face showed panic, and he was about to explain something, but found that Wulaoxing had no longer paid attention to him, sat on the table, looked at a majestic man far away from the conference table, and said:

"King of Solbei Kingdom, can you explain why...this year's heavenly gold was not handed over in full?"

"Bear?"

Skyler also looked over and saw that the person named by the Five Old Stars was none other than Bartolomeo Big Bear, a member of the Revolutionary Army in the original work, nicknamed Tyrant Bear.

At this time, Xiong Jianyi's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he said: "I'm sorry, but the Kingdom of Sorbey really cannot afford this sum of gold."

Skyler noticed that compared to the kings wearing gold and silver around him, the bear's clothes could be said to be simple. Perhaps those clothes were nothing to ordinary people.

But... Xiong is the king of a country that joins the World Government.

"is it?"

The straight-haired Wulaoxing picked up a report prepared on the table, opened it, and said: "But the information I saw is that you have not taxed your citizens! Is this what you said you can't afford? ?”

Faced with Wu Laoxing's somewhat aggressive tone, Xiong nodded and said, "Yes, because the tax was already collected last year and they have no money left."

"You didn't pay the full amount of heavenly money last year either!"

The old man holding the sword pursed his lips and looked at the bear with dissatisfaction. The bear continued to nod and said, "Because the tax collected is not enough to pay the heavenly gold."

Skyler frowned and looked at the bear. The bear inadvertently turned his head and saw Skyler. He nodded subconsciously, and Skyler also nodded.

This scene was captured by many people, including the navy, five old stars, CP and some participants from participating countries. Garp also looked at Xiong, looked at it, and withdrew his eyes.

Garp never said anything about his close friendship with the kings and envoys of the participating countries, and even offended each of them. This bear, and the Kingdom of Sobel, had never entered Garp's eyes.

"Lieutenant General Schuyler, what do you want to say?"

The blond Wu Laoxing suddenly asked, Skyler was stunned, and then the others also looked at Wu Laoxing in surprise. Skyler turned his head and saw Seng Guo and He Zai shaking their heads gently from the corner of his eye.

Skyler knew that Sengoku and He were telling her not to speak. After all, she was a navy, and participating in world politics was not what a navy should do.

Skyler nodded, then looked at Wulaoxing and said, "What can I say? Could it be that you are my subordinates and do you want to take orders from me?"

"..."

Warring States' forehead has begun to sweat. Auntie, I asked you not to participate. Did you ask you not to participate with this attitude? !

The CP officers were about to get angry when they heard the curly-haired Five Old Stars say: "The World Government is an enlightened government and will never ignore anyone's suggestions and opinions."

At this time, CP didn't know how to get angry, and the entire conference room became even quieter.

"Haha. Do you think I believe it or not?"

Skyler smiled sarcastically, then corrected his attitude and said, "However, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."

After saying that, Skyler leaned back on the back of his seat and said no more. The five old stars looked at each other. Even the blind old man with a mustache also "looked at each other" at this time. After all... .The important thing is participation.

"Okay, then, King of Solbei Kingdom, we need to talk after today's meeting. Okay, now, everyone can submit their respective proposals and explain them."

The old man with straight hair and straight beard changed his story about this matter, but everyone in the conference room fell into silence. The Five Old Stars chose to change their story, but they could not change it.

What's the meaning?Is this just over?Gold in the sky!

Heavenly Gold is also an important "prop" to maintain the status of a member country of the World Government!You can be corrupt and cruel, but as the king of a franchised country, you have to pay the heavenly gold honestly.

But the king of Solbei Kingdom, I heard, did not pay the full amount of the heavenly gold last year. He failed to pay the full amount of the heavenly gold at least twice. Is this the end of the story?

Not to mention the cancellation of the Kingdom of Sorbe's World Government membership, at least...you have to curse a few words, right?

"Shh! Shh!"

The conference room was silent. Sora looked at Seng Guo and winked. Seng Guo nodded, stood up, and said, "Since the kings and envoys are not ready yet, I will throw some light on it.

It’s not really a proposal, it’s just a formal introduction to myself and the three new navy admirals around me. First of all, it’s me. I’m honored to..."

Warring States began to talk, and after introducing himself and the three generals, he finally looked at Skyler with an indescribable expression on his face, but in the end he did not introduce Skyler.

After all, now he no longer knows how to introduce Skyler.

Warring States sat down, the five old stars nodded in unison, and the curly-haired old man said: "Well, yes, we also look forward to the fact that the sea in the new era will become clearer under the management of the navy.

Marshal of the Warring States Period, if there is anything you need help from the World Government, just ask. "

"I also want to talk to you privately. Just in time, you can take a look at the bill on the Navy's budget adjustment for the next four years."

Warring States, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up, picked up a document, and handed it in the direction of Wulaoxing. Kong took it on his behalf and gave it directly to the old man holding the sword beside him.

The old man holding the sword glanced at it for a few times, and his face darkened. Then he handed the documents to the old man with straight hair and straight beard next to him, one after another. After reading them, their faces were all gloomy.

"Extremely double military spending..."

The blond Wu Laoxing, who finally read the document, murmured something. As soon as this sentence came out, the expressions of the CP commander and the guard commander changed instantly. Sora also looked at Sengoku with some surprise.

Even He, who was beside Seng Guo, looked at Seng Guo with questioning eyes at this time. The military expenditure adjustment bill she formulated was not a full doubling, but a conservative increase of 15%.

Moreover, this bill had not been changed until leaving Marinefando. In other words, this bill was directly adjusted by Warring States in the last five days.

You must know that the annual expenditures of the world government are very stable. Increasing naval military expenditures will reduce the budgets of other departments. The first ones to bear the brunt are the CP agency and the red earth guard army.

At this time, the faces of the CP commander and the guard commander turned red with anger, and even began to turn purple and black.

Warring States bowed slightly, with a straightforward smile on his face. He suddenly wanted to see where the world government's tolerance limit for the navy was.

In other words, how much resources can the navy with Vice Admiral Skyler get from the World Government? The proposal was revised by him in the past few days.

A 100% budget increase can be described as a bold act, but... Warring States does not expect success. He just wants to see how far the five old stars at the highest power center of the world government can take a step back.

"Let me just say it." The curly-haired old man looked at Warring States and said, "This budget is impossible to pass, and the navy cannot absorb these military expenses. Please give me another number."

Warring States still wanted to insist, but He pulled the corner of his clothes to signal him not to go too far. Warring States thought for a moment and said: "30%, this is the Navy's final concession."

The five old stars looked at each other and nodded. The curly-haired old man said: "Okay, then the budget increase will be reduced by 30%. Do you have any objections?"

"No comment."

"I think it's okay."

"agree."

"So be it."

The other four responded, and the curly-haired old man nodded and said: "The motion is passed, next item."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room became confused. Even Zhan Guo had a daze on his face. Who is he?Where is he?What is he going to do?

A 100% budget increase is a joke. A 30% budget increase is said to be a final concession, but it does not mean it cannot be reduced. A 15% budget increase is the most conservative pursuit of the Navy.

Moreover, if the budget is only increased by 15%, the Navy will be able to live better in the next four years.

But...why did the budget suddenly increase by 70%?How to spend this money?

Warring States turned his head stiffly and looked at He, who covered his forehead, unwilling to look at Warring States. She didn't know what to do with these Baileys. The navy had never been so rich and didn't understand the lives of rich people.

Warring States was like a clumsy robot built by a layman. He sat back stiffly after a setback, his head buzzing, and at the same time he was afraid that this was a dream and he suddenly woke up.

but...

"Crack~"

Garp stretched out his hand, walked around the crane, and patted Seng Guo's shoulder vigorously. The severe pain brought Seng Guo back to his senses instantly. He subconsciously glared away, and saw Garp winking and holding up two thumbs.

"Ha~uh~"

Warring States laughed out loud, and then immediately covered his mouth. Everything... was true!

At this time, everyone in the conference room also came to their senses. The nine CP officers and the officers of the escort also stood up instantly. Just as they were about to speak, the old man holding the sword knocked on the table with his sword and said:

"The World Conference! The purpose is to listen to the opinions of the franchised countries and solve the problems of the franchised countries. What are you going to do?!"

The low and threatening words made the CP and the commander of the escort force sit back, and the meeting got back on track. However, the seven senior leaders of the Navy had no intention of listening.

Warring States tore off a page and wrote "How will this money be spent?" and then passed it to his subordinates.

He thought for a while and wrote down "Basic Treatment of the Navy" and then passed it to Garp. Garp bit his pen and thought for a long time, then crookedly wrote three words - "Donuts."

The building started to tilt from Garp, Akainu wrote "Weapons that can better deter the enemy", Kizaru wrote "tea leaves and coffee beans", and Aokiji wrote "Simmons" personally.

The paper was passed to Skyler, who thought about it, wrote "fresh meat and seasonal fruits and vegetables", and then passed it back.

When Warring States received the "military supplies" written by the "core senior management of the Navy", he began to rub his head, trying to come up with some constructive suggestions.

But after thinking for a long time, he only wrote the word "senbei" on the paper. The paper was transmitted to He again. He looked at these unreliable "military supplies" and sighed, and then wrote "Better." Uniform Fabrics”.

Garp took it and wrote "+1" after Skyler's "military supplies", and then handed it to Akainu. Akainu glanced at it and wrote "general image design" again... ..

Just like that, the building tilted again and again, completely out of control, and it couldn't be pulled back.
