Chapter 58 The lion speaks loudly! Cui Ze: Sir, I'm here to negotiate terms!
Life is not easy.
Cui Ze chooses flexible employment.
He had no intention of rejecting the "Pirate Undercover Plan" commissioned by Zefa.
That doesn't make any sense.
As long as Cui Ze is still in the navy, he will have to accept tasks assigned by his superiors.
Regardless of whether this "boss" is Zefa, Kizaru, or other "branch base commanders" in the future.
Cui Ze has long been mentally prepared for this matter.
Although going undercover to become a pirate is somewhat contrary to his personal plan.
But think about it carefully.
"Undercover Pirate" is not without its benefits.
If the greatest advantage of becoming a navy is "safety";
So the biggest advantage of being an undercover pirate is "freedom"!
Cui Ze, who possesses the [Fishing] ability, is destined to be unable to stay in a fixed sea area for a long time.
Whether it’s the zombie island (Kamado Island) that first arrived, the Winter Island adjacent to the future kingdom, or the Boeing Islands filled with stomach barons.
Each of these magnificent islands in the sea represents a "different world" where you can fish for all kinds of powerful items!
If Cui Ze followed his original plan and went to the East China Sea to hibernate.
So if he wants to continue to borrow his [Fishing] ability to explore the other world behind these islands, he may only be able to do so during his short naval vacation.
In this way, the operation difficulty is quite high, both in terms of time and space.
After all, these islands are basically on the Grand Line, far away from the East China Sea.
Not to mention those islands where Cui Ze hasn’t had time to start fishing yet!
Drum Kingdom, Alabasta, Demon Valley Town, Sky Island, Capital of the Seven Waters, Shampoo Islands, Fishman Island...
This is only the paradise in the first half of the Grand Line. There is also a new world stage further back, which requires a lot of time to explore!
Once Cui Ze chooses to become a pirate, this problem will basically disappear.
in addition.
Cui Ze, who was foresighted, also knew the exact whereabouts of a large number of secret treasures from the sea.
Especially those few Devil Fruits that have not been taken by anyone at the current time point!
The roasted fruit of the East China Sea!
The surgical fruit of Beihai, the Golden Fruit!
Sky Island’s Thunder Fruit!
The vampire fruit in Sleeping Town!
There are also artificial phantom beast species from Pangdao...
The locations of these top devil fruits are distributed in every corner of the sea, with no boundaries at all.
It is very difficult for "Navy Cuize" to contact and collect these Devil Fruits;
But "Pirate Cui Ze" doesn't have too many worries when collecting these Devil Fruits.
certainly.
Although there are many advantages to choosing to become a pirate.
But this does not prevent Cui Ze from wanting to rip off the Navy Headquarters first!
…
"Support from the headquarters?"
Hearing Cui Ze's words, Zefa and Huang Yuan couldn't help but look at each other.
It stands to reason that the Navy Headquarters will indeed provide certain support and subsidies for these "undercover pirates".
For example, salary, intelligence, military rank, and so on.
But the problem is.
In the past, when the Navy Headquarters dispatched personnel to perform highly confidential tasks, who would not be so impassioned that they wished they could swear eternal allegiance to justice on the spot!
Now it's Cui Ze's turn.
This guy actually made the request!
You don't play according to common sense...
Seeing that Zefa and Kizaru fell silent, Cui Ze was inevitably a little dissatisfied.
"No way, sirs, don't we even have the slightest support from our headquarters?"
"Ahem! Of course not!"
Zefa coughed twice and replied quickly.
"The plan you are about to implement is very important, so we will definitely not weaken our support!"
Cui Ze then nodded and responded: "That's good."
Kizaru touched his chin and asked curiously: "Brother Cui Ze, I wonder what kind of support you want from this department?"
Cui Ze perked up and immediately raised his fingers.
“It’s actually not much.
"If you want to become a great pirate, you absolutely cannot lack strength! So it's best to give him seven or eight Devil Fruits or something first. I like this stuff very much!
"Secondly, the big pirate's car must not be shabby! I think the navy headquarters can take out one of the latest warships and modify it for use! But the decoration must be more luxurious! The kitchen space must be large! It is best to add another
Bring a fish pond!
“I really like fish farming!
"Then, the big pirate must travel with a certain degree of style! Solving this problem is also very simple, just give him a hundred or two hundred million beli!
"Besides, a big pirate who works alone is destined to have no future! If the Navy Headquarters supports a few more pirates, it doesn't require any generals and officers. Just a few members from this elite training camp can be used!"
"Finally, the big pirate must have his own personal reputation! Although I had a fight with that bastard Kaido before, but unfortunately I lost miserably... How about we find a general in our headquarters and have a fake match with me? Pretend
Just admit defeat!"
Accidentally.
Cui Ze's conditions can only be counted on five fingers.
He slapped his right hand towards Zefa and Kizaru.
"Two sirs, you see, my requirements are really not many, just five small conditions. This does not include logistical support, warship escort, immunity from robbery, etc. -"
"You still have something like that!?!"
Zefa's roar almost didn't bring down the entire naval headquarters building.
The Kizaru on the side also had a very ugly expression.
If you follow Cui Ze's request.
The navy has arranged an "undercover pirate", it is almost directly supporting a "Shichibukai"!
Cui Ze said eloquently: "I'm just negotiating terms! Haven't the two officers ever done business?
"'Ask for a high price, pay on the spot'! If you are dissatisfied with anything, you two officers can cut it down!"
Cui Ze was originally talking about the lion's mouth.
He didn't expect Zefa or Kizaru to agree to all his conditions.
But just in case these two suddenly get dizzy, they actually agree to some of the requests.
Even if there is only one.
Even if it’s a cut down version.
Cui Ze can be considered a big profit!
Zefa was so angry that his liver ached, his cheeks turned red, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.
"Porusalino! Come talk to this shrewd kid!"
The angry Zefa left the matter directly to the lieutenant general.
"Ah this..."
Kizaru, who was caught off guard, had no choice but to take over the topic.
He pushed up the light yellow sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Cui Ze with his eyes behind the lenses.
"Brother Cui Ze, your conditions are indeed a bit excessive~"
Cui Ze looked very innocent.
Weak and pathetic.
"So what is Commander Porusalino going to do with me, a helpless little sailor?"
Kizaru seems to be an old fritter who only cares about things and doesn't do his job all day long...
Well, actually he is!
But to be able to sit in the position of general (alternative), Kizaru still has the basic ability.
Just listen to him refuting Cui Ze's requests one by one.
"First, Devil Fruit. The Navy Headquarters' Devil Fruit reserves are very small, and only those Navy members who have made great contributions will be rewarded in this regard, so the Navy Headquarters will not provide you with a Devil Fruit."
Cui Ze suddenly interrupted, "Teacher Zefa said before that he could reward me with a Devil Fruit!"
Kizaru was stunned and looked at Zefa beside him, who nodded reluctantly.
The devil fruit Cui Ze mentioned was the "reward" obtained in exchange for the [Beast's Breath].
Due to limited time and the unclear effect of the Breath of the Beast, Zefa has not yet informed other senior officials of the headquarters about this matter.
"We will discuss that devil fruit later." Zefa ended the topic.
Cui Ze will accept it as soon as he sees fit.
He stood there, as obedient as a chicken.
Kizaru took out a cup of hot tea from somewhere, moistened his throat, and continued the previous topic.
"Second, new warships! The number is in short supply, and the construction plan for the fastest new warship has been scheduled for two years. You can't get it!
"Third, money supply, this aspect can be discussed in detail. If you become an undercover pirate, your salary, social benefits, etc. will increase by at least one level! But it will not be as exaggerated as one or two hundred million beli.
"Fourth, personnel support. Your undercover pirate plan is extremely confidential and is not suitable for the rest of the navy to know!
"In addition, Lieutenant General He, the chief staff officer of our headquarters, has specially designed a plan to allow you to escape from the navy smoothly without letting the sailors in the elite training camp doubt the authenticity of your identity as a pirate.
"Fifth, the reputation of pirates, um..."
At this point, Kizaru suddenly stopped.
Cui Ze looked expectantly at the dear, beloved, lovely boss Kizaru.
To be honest, the conditions he mentioned above are basically nonsense.
What Cui Ze really cares about is only the first and fifth items.
Devil fruit aspect.
Cui Ze knows the limitations of the navy. The real good fruits are basically taken away by the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. He does not look forward to fishing for those garbage fruits.
So the focus is on the fifth item!
"Crack down on match-fixing"!
"Defeating" the general corresponds to an A-level victory bait!
I just don’t know if the light curtain recognizes it...
Anyway, let’s try it first!
Under Cui Ze's eager gaze, Huang Yuan shook his head at first.
"The general of our headquarters shouldn't have time to deal with such a trivial matter like yours, and Kuzan is too lazy..."
"If you want to actively seek death and challenge Sakaski, you can arrange your funeral arrangements in advance now.
