Started as a worker from Hokage

The Konoha Pirates' ship was busy.

Uchiha Madara had already opened his Sharingan, stared carefully at the white anti-eavesdropping phone bug in front of him, and used his Sharingan to begin to transcribe the sealed memory.

Because the Konoha Pirates are about to have their first exchange with the Navy Admiral, and this is also the first conversation with the other party's top management, this first high-level contact must be recorded.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

Admiral Buddha Sengoku leisurely drank black tea and ate his favorite senbei, enjoying the happiest short time before work started.

Before the work started, I also received good news from Lieutenant Akihara Kagura. The warship responsible for escorting Bucky the Clown had crossed the Upside Down Mountain and entered the Grand Line. They would stop at the Drum Kingdom to treat Smoker. , arrest Straw Hat Luffy on the way, and send Straw Hat Luffy and Clown Bucky into Impel Down together.

"I hope Cap won't be too upset."

Just when Warring States comforted himself with his old friend and planned to call Qingzhi to ask for news about him, a phone call came to him.

"Porlu porphyr..."

The phone bug's voice was a little dull.

Sengoku reached out and put down the senbei, and answered the phone bug directly. He saw that his phone bug's appearance gradually turned into that of Aokiji.

"Kuzan, do you still know how to report?"

Warring States' voice was mixed with some dissatisfaction, and he scolded in a deep voice: "Ever since the Rogge Town incident, I have been waiting for your news, detailed information..."

"Feel sorry."

Qingzhi took the initiative to apologize to Warring States, and said in a sincere voice: "The situation has changed a little. I was captured on the way to pursue the enemy..."

"Don't make such a joke!"

Sengoku's face quickly dropped.

It is impossible for an enemy to capture Aokiji in the entire world. The combat power of the admiral of the Navy Headquarters is at the top of the world. Even if he is defeated, he cannot be captured by the enemy!

Such a joke...

Is this guy here deliberately teasing him?

He used this lame excuse to get away with not answering the phone for a few days!

It’s not like I don’t understand him, I just scolded him a few times, how could I still punish him at this time?

"Okay, no need to make excuses, I won't hold you accountable for what happened these days."

Warring States directly ignored this exchange and asked in a deep voice: "First tell me what happened in Rogge Town. I heard that the bastard Dorag also appeared there, and there were also unknown pirates who injured him. Smoker…”

"Feel sorry…"

Qingzhi did not answer Sengoku's words, but his voice became lowered: "Marshal Sengoku, I was not joking just now..."

"Give me the phone bug."

A voice sounded on the other side of the phone.

Someone took away Aokiji's phone bug and said directly and neatly: "Is it Marshal Sengoku? This is the Konoha Pirates, and your general is in our hands."

"..."

Warring States' mind went blank for an instant.

How can it be…

Someone was able to capture the admiral!

No…

That's not what I care about now...

The world government's highest combat power was captured. This news is even more shocking than the death of the Celestial Dragon. Once people know this, the entire sea will be in chaos!

The reason why this sea still maintains balance is the balance between the World Government and the Four Emperors of the New World. The capture of a naval admiral has broken this balance!

"What do you want?"

Sengoku quickly calmed down.

As a mature naval marshal, he cares more about the stability of order and never cares about embarrassing issues such as compromising with pirates.

"Free Bucky the Clown first."

The voice coming from the phone bug was calmer than in Buddha's Warring States Period. He seemed to have thought of something and said casually: "Well, then prepare a hundred Devil Fruits and a hundred Devil Fruit ability users..."

"Let's be realistic."

Warring States interrupted him coldly.

It’s better to save yourself from dreaming like this!

Even in the entire ocean, Devil Fruit ability users are quite rare. The Navy is not a Devil Fruit manufacturer, so how can it get so many fruits!

"You pay back the price."

The person on the other side of the phone made a suggestion directly to Warring States.

"..."

Buddha's Warring States Period was silenced by his words.

Of course I have to make a counteroffer!

But the prices you charge are too high!

At least you guys have come up with a reasonable price first, so that I can continue to counter-offer reasonably!

but…

The situation is not particularly bad.

Sengoku's eyes narrowed slightly. He could probably tell that this pirate group urgently needed Bucky the Clown, and everything else should be additional...

but…

Bucky the Clown is really not suitable for exchange.

Because Bucky the Clown killed a Celestial Dragon, the whole world knew about it, and the World Government has made it clear that Bucky the Clown must be executed to serve as a warning to others!

If even Bucky the Clown can't solve it, how can the Draco and the World Government lose their face? Who will take the Draco in their eyes?

Sengoku can only use this negotiation to find a way to gain their trust. As long as he rescues Aokiji from the hands of this pirate group, he personally mobilizes the navy generals and lieutenants to dispatch together to quickly eliminate this pirate group. group!

If you want to gain the other party's trust through negotiation...

Then you have to come up with some skills, rather than what the other party says!

after all…

Empty talk seems insincere!

"Then the price I pay may not be within your psychological tolerance range..."

Warring States gritted his teeth, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Within my authority, I can only prepare one or two Devil Fruits..."

"And I can't hand over Clown Bucky to you. Clown Bucky is the evil pirate named by the World Government to be executed. He knows too much..."

"goodbye."

The phone bug seemed about to hang up.

"etc!"

Warring States quickly stopped the other party and couldn't help but roar loudly: "You guys should pay back the price a little bit! You can't let me keep bidding!"

"Don't think that my proposal is not sincere. The ransom you lions just raised is also not sincere!"

This is a question where both buyers and sellers want to make money.

When the market price of the Admiral is opaque, both parties can only carefully test the other party's psychological bottom line. Only by constantly pulling and pulling can a suitable bottom line for negotiation be left in the hearts of both parties.

General Aokiji is like a commodity, placed on the negotiation table by the Buddha's Sengoku and the Konoha Pirates, but this is a pure seller's market.

but…

The seller really wants to make this deal.

The smooth mechanical voice came from the phone: "The Navy will let Bucky the Clown go first to show your sincerity..."

"Those are the pirates named by the World Government for public execution..."

Sengoku took a deep breath. It seems that this pirate group must rely on Bucky. They are most likely doing it for the secret about the One Piece told by Bucky the Clown.

Sengoku's eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued to speak to the phone bug at hand: "Baki the Clown killed the Celestial Dragons and angered the World Government. He also hides the secret of One Piece. His life is better than Kuzan." Your life is much more important..."

"It seems this deal can't be done..."

The Konoha Pirates seemed to be hanging up on the phone bug immediately.

"etc!"

Warring States immediately tested out the opponent's bottom line and continued to deal with it: "But, I am the marshal of the navy, and everything is for the sake of the navy!"

"As long as you are willing to promise to return Kuzan, I can try my best to disobey the World Government's orders and hand over Clown Bucky to you. After all, your bottom line is Clown Bucky. It should be for the secret of the so-called great treasure, right?"

"Devil fruits and all that are just a nuisance to you, right?"

"That's fine, but it's not easy to catch an admiral..."

The answer from the phone caller said everything, as if he was sighing quietly: "Maybe we won't have a chance to catch the Navy Admiral in the future. Since there is a high probability that we will only do business with the Navy this time, and we won't open for three years. It will take three years to open, right?"

"Then I'll try my best to recruit devil fruits and devil fruit ability user pirates..."

A sharp edge flashed in Sengoku's eyes, and he spoke softly: "And your bottom line is Bucky the Clown. Even if the warship responsible for escorting them comes over non-stop, Bucky the Clown will take half a month to arrive. here…"

Half a month’s time…

This time is almost enough time for Admiral Akainu to quickly return to the headquarters from the G1 branch in the New World. The Navy headquarters has always had Admiral Kizaru in charge.

"Half a month?"

The Konoha Pirates seemed hesitant, as if they were worried about something: "You won't mobilize the navy to besiege us in half a month, right?"

"I am the Admiral of the Navy."

Warring States' voice immediately became calm, as if he wanted to use his credibility as a guarantee: "If the Admiral of the Navy breaks his trust with you, it is equivalent to breaking his trust with the world..."

"Then the world government can just replace it with another navy marshal, right?"

The Konoha Pirates' words directly exposed Sengoku's little thoughts.

Click...

Click...

Warring States crushed his senbei hard, feeling a little annoyed that his little mind had been exposed. He said angrily: "I guarantee it with my own reputation. If you don't trust me, why come to negotiate with me!"

"..."

The Konoha Pirates were silent.

Obviously.

The Admiral seemed really angry.

"All right."

"What you said makes sense..."

The voice on the phone also became hesitant, and once again exposed the loopholes in the Warring States words: "But we still want to ask, compared with the reputation of the navy, compared with the lives of his subordinates, what should a qualified naval marshal think? Your reputation is worthless, right?"

"..."

Warring States heart fell silent.

If you can use your reputation to save the lives of your subordinates, and if you can use your reputation to exchange for the reputation of the navy, Warring States will never mind throwing your reputation directly on the ground and letting others trample on it!

But…

How could such words come out of a pirate's mouth?

"alright."

"Let's talk about something serious."

The Konoha Pirates seemed to have given up on this bargaining and directly stated the real bottom line: "We can only give you two days to find a way to get the World Government to declare in the news newspaper that Bucky the Clown will be acquitted. As long as we get the information recorded in the newspaper, we will release the Admiral of the Navy..."

"This is impossible…"

Warring States immediately thought of Wulaoxing's face.

How could the life of a mere naval admiral compare to the power of the Celestial Dragons to intimidate the world?

"etc…"

Warring States' expression suddenly changed. At this moment, he suddenly understood the other party's purpose: "No... you... are not doing it for the secret of One Piece!"

Warring States' body was a little heavy, but his voice still said the other party's purpose calmly: "You are here to kill the Celestial Dragons and stir up hatred against the Celestial Dragons all over the world. Your purpose is to target the Celestial Dragons!"

As long as a pirate who kills a Celestial Dragon is not executed...

Then from now on, the security of the Celestial Dragons will plummet, and any enemy who hates the Celestial Dragons and the World Government will have the courage to kill the Celestial Dragons!

that time…

Even the navy can't protect it!

The World Government absolutely does not want to see this happen. They need to execute Bucky the Clown in a harsh way to deter all thieves who dare to undermine the majestic rule of the Celestial Dragons!

etc…

This seems pretty good...

A hint of surprise suddenly flashed in Zeng Guo's eyes.

Once the Dracos start killing innocent people all over the world, and if the navy cannot protect them, those Dracos who are killing innocent people all over the world will probably have no choice but to eat and wait to die in the Holy Land of Mariejoia for their own safety.

The countries that are members of the World Government no longer have to worry about being persecuted anymore, and everyone in the Navy no longer has to feel aggrieved by being scolded as dogs raised by the Dracos for protecting the Dracos.

but…

The Five Old Stars would certainly not agree to this.

Because in the eyes of Wulaoxing, the navy is the dog of the Tianlong people.

Once the navy is unable to protect the Celestial Dragons, whether it is a matter of funding or power, the navy will probably be slowly deprived of power by the world government...

but…

This will be a long process of political compromise.

In the context of the Great Pirate Age, the navy is an important tool for the world government to maintain its rule and cannot be banned by the world government.

Buddha's Warring States brain was running at high speed at this moment. He almost immediately thought about the pros and cons of this matter, but he was still unable to make a decision...

I really can't make a decision...

Because this is almost a God-given opportunity.

After all, the person responsible for escorting Bucky the Clown is Colonel Smoker of the headquarters. That bastard has always been famous for being a bitch who disobeys orders. In order to save Kuzan, he might also make a deal with the pirates, but with The matter of pirates making deals cannot be placed on that bastard's head. After all, that guy also bears the name of justice!

The only possibility is...

The World Government may be extremely angry about this, but it doesn't matter. It's enough to place all the blame on the Konoha Pirates...

"There's no way a world government would be in the newspapers!"

A bright light flashed through Sengoku's lenses, he carefully sensed the surrounding situation with his sense of knowledge, and lowered his voice to the phone bug!

He could guess that the other person was a smart man, and hoped that the other person could understand his difficulty: "All I can do is tell you the information about the warship that escorted Bucky... But you must put Kuzan back, and you are not allowed to hurt anyone. navy!"

"understood."

The members of the Konoha Pirates were quite smart. He seemed to understand the Admiral's difficulties very well. The smooth and mechanical voice soon came over: "The Konoha Pirates rescued Bucky the Clown, and Admiral Aokiji arrived in time. The rescue only had time to save the navy on the warship. Mr. Marshal, is this script okay?"

"..."

Warring States felt a little comfortable dealing with smart people. He always made himself dizzy by arguing with that idiot Garp. At this time, he actually felt that his brain was sober as never before.

this world…

There are actually these pirates who are arrogant!

This kind of powerful pirate group that is willing to target the Celestial Dragons is really rare. They themselves are a natural target, and they are even willing to be such a target!

but…

All this must first ensure the safety of Qingpheasan!

Qingzhi is the junior whom he is extremely optimistic about, and he is also the future marshal of the navy that he recognizes!

"Speaking of which..."

Warring States spoke cautiously, but his words were a bit over the top: "Can Kuzan arrest one of your people, so that Kuzan can easily hand in the report..."

If only there was someone for the other side...

You can get more relevant information yourself!

certainly…

It doesn’t matter if you can’t catch it…

As long as Kuzan, the strongest combat power, can be brought back first, he will first get some specific information from Kuzan, think about how he can use this pirate group, and after it is really possible to achieve his goal in the future, the navy should How to deal with this pirate group!

The order framework of the world government cannot be destroyed!

However, the dirt of the world government can be cleaned up!

"It seems you can't be too shameless..."

The Konoha Pirates seemed to be shocked by the shamelessness of this naval marshal. He only asked them to release Aokiji with a message. Why did he want them to hook up with someone?

"All right."

Buddha's Warring States had no choice but to give up his naive idea and said in a deep voice: "The warship escorting Bucky the Clown should soon arrive at Drum Island in the first half of the Great Route, but all my subordinates must come back alive, otherwise I will I won’t let you go!”

“A pleasure to work with.”

The Konoha Pirates immediately hung up the phone bug.

The first half of the Grand Line.

On board the Konoha Pirates.

After the red-haired boy hung up the phone, he turned back and looked in the direction of Uchiha Madara: "Did the transfer seal record this memory?"

"Hmph, this naval marshal is so courageous..."

Uchiha Madara stretched out his palm, touched his eyes, and sneered: "I was lured into a trap like this..."

"The Tianlong people also gave him a headache..."

Senju Hashirama stood next to Uchiha Madara and shook his head.

"Mr. Madara, show General Aokiji the memory of the transferred seal..."

The Red Sand Scorpion's voice was still mechanical and ruthless, as if he was indifferent to everything: "As long as the Navy Marshal answered our call, he has already fallen into the trap we set in advance. After all, his personality is not that extreme. He wants to fight against the Celestial Dragons with us..."

"This secret..."

"We can eat it for a lifetime."

"..."

next moment!

Uchiha Madara looked at Aokiji!

Green Pheasant's eyes were filled with scarlet red.

The admiral instantly repeated the memory just now, his eyes showing confusion and despair. This group of people actually used a special ability to record the conversation of this phone bug!

This is…

Evidence of collusion between the admiral and the pirates!

"General Qing Pheasant..."

The red-haired boy seemed to feel that Aokiji understood the situation, and said softly: "Now you can leave the ship, but you don't want the Admiral who protects you so much to be defined as a traitor by the World Government, right?"

In a real sense, this record of collusion had little impact on the Buddha's Warring States Period.

Even if this record is published, the reputation of Buddha's Sengoku will be completely ruined at most. He can be said to be watertight in this exchange. At most, he will be charged with making a deal with pirates to save the admiral. However, That naval marshal is very eloquent and can definitely make a comeback...

but…

Aokiji, the naval admiral, would not have thought of that much.

Aokiji only understood what Buddha's Sengoku and the Konoha Pirates were doing. They had reached a cooperation that could overthrow the order of the Celestial Dragons!

Once this kind of thing is discovered by the world government, the navy marshal will definitely be scolded by the world government as a dog that bites its master. Maybe he will be executed by the world government...

However, Aokiji, one of the beneficiaries, cannot sit back and watch all this happen!

The admiral's eyes gradually lost a trace of confusion, and seemed to become resolute, as if he was going to be with the darkness.

"I won't reveal your secrets..."

Aokiji, the naval admiral, looked at Uchiha Madara's red eyes and took the initiative to offer his own excuse: "After all, our purpose of solving the Tianlong people should be the same. I can cooperate with your actions in the navy. …”

"We won't make it particularly difficult for you."

The Crimson Sand Scorpion raised his hand and gently pressed it on Qingzhi's arm, leaving a curse mark on his arm: "And we won't let people help for no reason. Just think of this strength as a reward advanced to you..."

"This is…"

Qing Zhi frowned and looked at the dark mark of leaves.

"Chakra."

"An ability as magical as domineering."

The Scorpion of Red Sand looked at Orochimaru who was nearby, and said softly: "Mr. Orochimaru, help him get a scroll of the ice escape technique, and let him master a technique before getting off the ship. After all, he is also a semi- One of my own..."

same…

This is also a power that can instantly restrain Qingzhi's actions.

After all, the chakra in the curse seal all comes from Akihara Kagura's senjutsu chakra...

"Come with me."

Orochimaru's lips curled up, and he walked towards the cabin with Aokiji.

After they left the deck.

The smile on Uchiha Madara's face seemed strange.

"snort"

"If nothing else happens..."

Madara Uchiha looked into the eyes of the Red Sand Scorpion, as if he could see the person controlling him behind his eyes: "This guy's collusion with us also allows you to take advantage of the naval marshal who is obsessed with protecting his subordinates. Right? Akihara Kagura?"

"You just made a trap..."

Madara Uchiha already knew Akihara Kagura very well, and grinned: "But they will take the initiative to help you build this forged trap into a bottomless abyss, and jump in on their own initiative, but they still think they are saving people... "

"People are always moved by their own actions..."

"So I always fall into the trap of being moved by myself."

The Red Sand Scorpion's voice was calm and slow, as if he was also thinking slowly: "The Admiral is not an exception... the Marine Marshal... naturally will not be an exception either..."

Is the writing messy?

Are there too many characters?
