In the Age of Discovery that started after the death of Pirate King Gol D. Roger, countless pirates rush to the sea every year in search of the legendary secret treasure. And wars have frequently broken out in many countries, and the driving force behind this is

It is the revolutionary army led by the extremely evil criminal Monkey D. Dorag.

These two forces are evil thieves who influence the authority of the world government and are pests in their eyes.

Currently, the second half of the Great Line is divided and controlled by three pirate groups. The leaders of the three pirate groups were once members of the legendary Rocks Pirate Group. They are all now in the New World.

With their own power, they restrain each other but do not interfere with each other. They are the three emperors who make the world government fear them but have nothing to do with them.

The traces of the revolutionary army are relatively mysterious, but the revolutionary ideas they promote are what make the world government even more troublesome.

Compared with the two major enemy forces that are still growing in influence, the development of the naval headquarters affiliated with the World Government in recent years seems very worrying. Today's navy is almost unable to compete with the pirates and the revolutionary army.

Confronted.

However, World Government officials saw the symptoms of the problem, but selectively ignored the root cause of the problem.

Forming a cooperative relationship with some powerful pirates - this is the 'most brilliant' method that their rotten minds can come up with.

"...The King's Shichibukai is established."

Beckman looked at the shocking news in the newspaper and sighed: "The maritime forces have to be reshuffled again."

Regarding the establishment of the Oishi Shichibukai - the reason explained in the newspaper is very touching. The navy will not kill pirates with a stick. There are also so-called righteous pirates. For such pirates

The navy will be tolerant,

The Shichibukai is a system that allows these pirates to exist (fan) reasonably. From now on, the Shichibukai will work with the navy to defeat evil pirates and protect the masses.

"This rhetoric sounds like a pyramid scheme."

Rai complained.

"What is MLM?" Tong Mo asked curiously.

"It has the same nature as your previous Paradise Cult."

"...It's too much."

Tong Mo complained to Lai with a look of "How can you confuse me with them!" "I have very high standards for the appearance of believers, and these crooked melons and cracked jujubes can't even get into my eyes."

"As long as we are strong enough to reduce the impact of the Three Emperors of the New World, it will be fine."

Beckman said: "They don't care about face...oh, there are also second-hand preparations."

The newspaper turned to the next page, which was about the actual sea battle between the navy recruit and Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai. The newspaper used extremely exaggerated words to describe the navy recruit's powerful strength that coexisted with his beauty.

The left side of the newspaper is a text description, and the right side is a photo of the Navy recruit. Looking at the photo alone, Beckman mistakenly thought that he had subscribed to a fashionable newspaper that targeted female groups for consumption.

"The young navy genius——Lucas."

Beckman decided to take back what he just said without regard for the Navy, "It actually knows how to make use of such resources... It seems that the number of Navy recruits next year will be doubled."

"This is a normal enrollment expansion model. Damn it, just because of this photo, it didn't make the headlines of today's newspaper. The people in the newspaper really have no vision."

The scene in the photo of Lucas smiling back at the camera is really devastating.

Ley looked at the man holding the newspaper expectantly, "Beckman, can you cut out this photo and give it to me?"

This is the first time her baby son has appeared on the world's big stage, and she has to treasure this photo.

"Take it."

With all the key points of the intelligence in the newspaper in mind, Beckman directly gave the whole stack of newspapers to Ley, who held the newspaper and went to find the scissors.

…I don’t know if I can order more copies of this issue of the newspaper. It’s simply not enough to treasure just one copy.

——

Today's discussion of the red-haired pirates revolves around the establishment of the 'King Shichibukai'. It is enough to see what kind of sensation this policy issued by the world government can cause around the world. Rai also

You can be considered someone who is here to witness history.

"Shichibukai, I remember they also thought about inviting the boss."

Jesus smiled and laughed while drinking wine, "Let the boss work for them for free, it's a shame they can think of it."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The pirates laughed heartily together. This was the best joke of the day.

As for the so-called rights and other benefits provided by the world government, for the red-haired pirates, they are probably not as practical as a barrel of red wine.

Ji Guoyuan spotted the small boat approaching them on the sea with a sharp glance, and warned aloud: "A boat is coming... It doesn't seem to be a boat, more like a coffin with a man sitting on it."

Such a characteristic description instantly reminded everyone of a man.

"Oh, let's see...it's really him!"

Shanks happily waved in the direction of the man and said: "Hey! Mihawk! I didn't expect to meet you in this place!"

The person who came here is one of the headlines of today's news. Choracor Mihawk was selected as one of the Shichibukai. He was called 'Eagle Eye' because of his sharp eyes like an eagle. He is currently the leader of the Grand Line.

He is recognized as the greatest swordsman in the world.

"I didn't believe it when I heard it at first, but it seems the rumors are true..."

Hawkeye boarded the pirate ship. He looked at Shanks' broken arm. A trace of unknown anger flashed in his sharp eyes, "You actually lost your left arm in the East China Sea."

Many people don't know that the loner swordsman and the captain of the red-haired pirates are close friends, but they can hardly imagine what it would be like for two people with such different styles to stay together.

But if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense that these two people could become friends.

First, Shanks' talkative character doesn't care about Hawkeye's iceman who can bluff people. In terms of popularity, Shanks has powerful magic power that can make most people give him "face".

Secondly, Shanks' strength is actually appreciated by Hawkeye. They both fight with swords and still have a common language. The sparring sessions a few times a year can be regarded as a relationship where they can sit down and drink together and talk.

In Hawkeye's view, the only person on the sea who can equal him in swordsmanship is Shanks, who wields a sword with his left hand. However, this guy even lost his sword hand after a trip to the East China Sea.

.

"Hahaha, don't worry about this kind of thing."

Shanks put his arm around Hawkeye's shoulders, trying to pull him into the drinking party, "Come on, let's drink."

"Come on, let's congratulate Hawkeye on becoming the Shichibukai——"

"cheers!!!"

"...This is not something to celebrate."

Sitting on the floor with a big cup in his hand, Hawkeye's nobility was undiminished. Compared with the sloppy drunkard next to him, he was as elegant as a medieval vampire shaking a red wine glass.

"By the way..."

From the moment he boarded the ship, Eagle Eye noticed the little girl huddled in the corner cutting out a newspaper, "When did your ship recruit child labor?"

"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense, Hawkeye, we didn't force her to do anything, we can't let our chef hear this."

Shanks explained to him: "That's our little doctor, no one on the ship dares to mess with her."

"oh."

Hawkeye withdrew his gaze. He came from the Navy Headquarters this time because he needed to sign an agreement related to the Shichibukai.

Hawkeye chatted with Shanks about the incident and about a person he met there who interested him.

"...Have you read the newspaper? That talented young man in the Navy is worth looking forward to."

The candidates for the Shichibukai are all figures who have left legends on the sea. Ordinary people would faint from nervousness if they were in the same space with these people. However, the silver-haired boy who was sent to entertain them had no stage fright at all.

This inevitably made Hawkeye pay more attention to him.

The wine in the glass was half empty, and suddenly there was a small hand holding a wine bottle from below the perspective of the person, refilling it for him.

Hawkeye met a pair of smiling cat eyes. Few people were brave enough to look directly into Hawkeye's eyes, and there was obvious expectation in their eyes.

Looking at the humanoid kitten that suddenly appeared next to him, Hawkeye, who had always been insulated from such cute and small creatures, suddenly paused, and then asked: "...is something wrong?"

"I want to hear the story of that navy man."

Ley clarified her purpose, and she started pouring the wine very consciously. She said calmly with a coquettish tone, "Can I join in?"

"Wow, it's rare that a child is willing to get close to you, Hawkeye." Shanks joked to him: "By the way, her name is Rai, Rai, this is Mihawk, you can also call him

Eagle Eye."

Hawkeye just thought it was the little girl's curiosity, "Unfortunately, you have found the wrong person. I am not familiar with him."

"Mr. Mihawk, could you please tell me, during the meeting at the Shichibukai-"

Rai directly asked the topic he cared about, "Did Doflamingo harass Lucas?"

Hawkeye broke into a cold sweat, why was he playing a question-and-answer game with the little girl here.

Thinking about it carefully, Doflamingo was indeed staring at the boy with a perverted look during the meeting, and from time to time he would laugh strangely and stick out his tongue to lick it.

Why does Hawkeye know so well? Because he is sitting directly between Doflamingo and Lucas. Not to mention the boy, even Hawkeye himself feels like he is being harassed.

"Tianyaksha is indeed very interested in that boy." Hawkeye replied in a different way.

Rai took it as Hawkeye giving her a positive answer.

It's hard to deal with it now, her precious son has met a pervert.
