The residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Under the guidance of his servant, William came to the door of the conference room.

After knocking on the door twice, the servant bowed to William and was about to leave, but saw William bowing to him politely and thanking him. This made this nobleman lead the way countless times, but his service was regarded as a servant for being a natural person countless times, and he felt a little fond of affection.

After William heard a response from "Please enter" in the house, he pushed open the door and saw the soft sofa in the house, with gray-haired Alcateo and the short and energetic naval colonel Roy, sitting on it, and the butler Eaton was pouring tea for the two of them.

After William also came into the house and sat down, and Eaton poured tea, Alcateo waved his hand and drove Eaton out. Only Arcateo, Roy and William were left in the room.

Among these three people are kingdom ministers, high-ranking naval bases, and famous pirate leaders. They jointly ruled the black and white paths of the Navia Kingdom. I wonder how many people in the local area are secretly coveting their power and money.

However, Arcadio's face was not at all proud of the black and white powers of the entire country, and his gray eyebrows were frowned tightly, and he asked Roy and William: "Have you read the newspaper in the East China Sea recently?"

William just nodded, but Colonel Roy shook the cigar ashes and said, "Is it the matter of Germa 66?"

Arcadio nodded slightly. As soon as Norton I ordered his instructions, he thought of his two allies and immediately sent them an invitation to meet.

Norton I's problem is ultimately a problem of force and force. The Kingdom of Germa made all countries in the East China Sea feel threatened by force, and completing Norton I's instructions made Norton I feel that he is still a strong minister and needs military support.

In this alliance, he relies on the authority of the world government and the aristocratic status, but Colonel Roy and William rely more on real force, and he needs the help of both of them.

But after hearing Arcadio's request, Roy shook his head and said bluntly: "Others may not know much, but I know a little. Even if we both sides, the navy and the pirates, they will not be opponents of armies like Derma 66. This is a great route-level armed force."

"What's more, how can the Navy cooperate with pirates to fight the enemy?" Roy sucked a cigar. "Justice and evil are incompatible."

Before William said anything, Arcadio asked unhappily: "It is incompatible with the evil forces? Is the nickname of Derma 66's "Evil Army" slander? Now Derma 66 is a disaster to the East China Sea, and your navy doesn't care?"

"The Navy's goal is one pirates and any existence that can endanger the world government's power. The Kingdom of Derma is also a franchise of the world government. The Navy is not easy to interfere in the internal affairs between your franchise." Roy said calmly.

"It's not easy to interfere? You're not willing to interfere!" Arcadio turned gloomy when he heard this, and said sharply.

Seeing that Roy had no reaction, Arcadio looked at William again. He thought that William would retreat when he saw Roy's attitude, but after seeing William lower his head and pondering, he suddenly looked up and said, "Since it is Count Arcadio's request, of course I will do my best. After all, we are allies, but..."

"But what?" Alcateo asked with a much better face.

"In order to help allies, I am naturally obliged to do so, but you also know that my boat is full of reckless men who can only rely on their lives to exchange for wealth. They do not understand our relationship," William touched his lips and smiled bitterly. "For no reason, let them fight against powerful enemies for a country with no sense of identity, and may even die. They may not do it."

Arcadio glanced at William deeply: "Then what do you think they want? Money?"

"No, no, no," William waved his hand repeatedly. "I think they want a title, an identity that will allow them to no longer need to sneak ashore in the future."

"You mean to include you in the Kingdom's military system?" Alcateo asked in confusion.

"Have you heard of the 'King's Under the Seven Warriors Sea'?" William nodded.

Arcadio frowned and said, "Private permission? We do not have the authority of the world government."

"How could I want to obtain a privateer license?" William smiled, "But we can refer to this system and give a developed armed team title. In this way, without a single Bailey, you can instantly obtain an army with combat effectiveness. You can also explain to His Majesty the King. What's more, although the Kingdom of Navia does not have the authority to issue a privateer license, my subordinates and I are not in the sight of the world government!"

Roy frowned and looked at William up and down, while Arcadio stood up from his seat and walked slowly in the reception room, frowned and pondered William's proposal.

William's proposal seemed to be very beneficial to him. As William said, there was no need to spend a Bailey. Just give his team a title and you could gain an army that already had combat effectiveness.

If this proposal is not adopted and the army is formed by yourself, it is hard to say that Bailey will be spent, and the time spent is an incalculable number.

By then, it is estimated that Derma 66 has either captured the royal city of Navia or left the East China Sea. What contributions can he have to work hard to establish an army?

It would be better to take advantage of Norton I's attention to this matter and get things done immediately, so that I can do my best and show my abilities.

There are only two points that need to be considered first. The first is the control of this team, and the second is Norton I's attitude towards this method.

Arcadio thought of this, stopped, looked at William with a squint, and asked tentatively: "I can give them this title, but you have helped such a great favor, and I don't know how to repay me..."

William's eyes lit up, and his upper body couldn't help but straighten up, as if Arcadio's words were exactly what he expected to hear. He licked his lips, was a little excited, and he was too lazy to even be polite. His tone was slow, just like he was afraid that Arcadio would miss his words: "I, I hope to become a nobleman in the Kingdom of Navia and live in the noble district."

After William said this, he quickly added, as if he was covering up his intention: "As long as I have a noble status and live in the noble area, I believe that my subordinates will trust you and His Majesty the King. When they see this example and sincerity, they will definitely fight bravely for the Kingdom of Navia."

Arcadio raised his eyebrows and looked at William with a playful look. He thought he had seen through William. The young man in front of him who tried hard to hide his tension and expectations and was waiting for his response was hungry for the title of nobles.

(To be honest, the content related to the plot at the end of the chapter is to take care of readers from other channels, so it was not posted to the author. I am afraid they won't see it. Anyway, it's free chapters at present, and there is no problem with word count. However, when it is released in the future, there will definitely be off-topic comments in the author. At that time, other channels will not be taken into consideration. Therefore, readers from other channels should also read if they have the conditions.)

(Secondly, answer some questions from readers who may not know much about the later content of the original work. The Kingdom of Derma is a country ruled by the Sanji family. For the specific Sanji timeline, you can see the "Zhepu timeline" related to the work. Originally in the Beihai, it was a snail. You read that right. Using the red clay continent that was climbed by huge snails to reach the East China Sea. Corgia was indeed the target country that they had breached in the original work, and they really let go of an innocent passenger ship passing by.)
