Chapter 666: Gathering in the Navy Headquarters! Present [Orca Fruit]! The World’s Greatest Swordsman Appears!
The Shichibukai under the King have different personalities from each other.
Some like to play cards, some like to farm, some like to read, some like to swim, some like to pile sand, some like to be crazy, and some like to play with figurines...
The reasons why each great pirate chooses to join the "Shichibukai" are different.
Under normal circumstances, the "His Majesty's Shichibukai Conference" held every year by the Navy Headquarters is not always able to attract the participation of all the Shichibukai.
There were special circumstances like last year when the King's Shichibukai gathered together. It was only because this system had reached full strength for the first time, and the Navy Headquarters was about to change its leadership, that all the Shichibukai came to the scene.
Logically speaking, at this year's Shichibukai meeting, at least a few people should be absent.
But the actual situation is not like this.
As soon as Cui Ze received the "gift" from the five old stars, the "admiral" responsible for receiving him took the initiative to inform that six Shichibukai chose to participate in the meeting this year, and one was currently attending the meeting in the headquarters building.
Waiting in the office.
"It's really weird~"
Wearing a yellow plaid suit and brown sunglasses, the navy man spoke in a smooth tone.
"When did pirates become so serious about their work? It's so stressful~"
"You should really feel a little stressed, General Kizaru."
Cui Ze glanced sideways at Kizaru and followed him silently towards the direction of the Navy Headquarters building.
"If you don't work hard and keep cheating all day long, maybe even the Navy won't want you in the future."
Even Kizaru was so shocked by Cui Ze's words that he could hardly react.
Brigadier General Cui Ze, you have such great official authority!
How dare you threaten the general of our headquarters!
The general of the headquarters and the strongest pirate stood side by side, and Marinevando, who was seeing a lot of people coming and going, actually deliberately left an empty passage for the two of them.
"Cui Ze..."
Kizaru looked forward, lowered his voice, and got down to business.
"How is Whitebeard's current condition?"
The news that Cui Ze defeated Whitebeard also caused an uproar in the Navy Headquarters.
In particular, several top figures in the Navy who "know the basics" all felt refreshed.
Akainu, the most aggressive character, even complained about why Cui Ze didn't just kill Whitebeard!
The more stable Sengoku and He appreciated Cui Ze's actions.
"Defeating Whitebeard" and "killing Whitebeard" will have completely different subsequent chain reactions!
If you just "defeat a Pirate Emperor", it will only cause the Pirate Emperor's prestige to be damaged, and it will also cause a small impact on the opponent's power base, and it will not affect the overall situation.
But if one directly "kills a pirate emperor", it can almost be expected that the situation in the entire new world will be turned upside down due to the passing of a pirate emperor! This may even affect the paradise stage!
This does not mean that the Pirate Emperor cannot be killed.
But if you want to kill the Pirate Emperor, you must make all protective preparations in advance, especially from the perspective of the navy.
The Navy Headquarters has been "spying" on Whitebeard for a long time.
Whitebeard and his [Shock Fruit] are too great a threat to the navy that is committed to maintaining the stability and order of the sea!
The people in the navy camp all dream of eradicating Whitebeard and his Whitebeard Pirates. Whether they are hawks, doves, or neutrals, they all hold the same position.
But the navy camp also knows that the Whitebeard Pirates play an important role in the situation of the new world.
Everyone hopes to eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates, but they also don’t want the Whitebeard Pirates to suddenly perish.
It was out of this consideration that Kizaru suddenly asked.
Cui Ze's thinking speed was extremely fast, and he figured out Kizaru's position and intention almost instantly, and responded softly.
"Whitebeard, still the same whitebeard."
Cui Ze did defeat Whitebeard some time ago.
But he didn't leave any irreversible damage to Whitebeard.
Broken bones or something...
A "minor injury" of this magnitude would not be taken seriously by Whitebeard.
You are about to enter the headquarters building.
Cui Ze quickly added another sentence.
"Personally, I haven't considered taking action against the Whitebeard Pirates yet... If the Navy has any ideas, they can ask someone to call me over for a meeting later."
Kizaru nodded and stopped talking about this topic.
It’s still the familiar conference room from last year.
But this year, the person waiting in the conference room in advance was not the nymphomaniac Snake Lady, but...
"Lord Cui Ze!"
Jinbei happily put down the grilled fish in his hand, stood up and welcomed Cui Ze who walked into the conference room.
"You're here!"
This fish-man tribe's sea hero's attitude towards Cui Ze is really respectful~
A strange color flashed in Kizaru's eyes. After waving his hand and giving an instruction, the figure turned into a ray of light and disappeared instantly.
"I haven't seen you for a while, Jinbei."
Cui Ze responded with a smile, entered the conference room and found a random seat to sit down.
"Is the migration plan of Fish-Man Island going smoothly?"
When Cui Ze and others finished their sky island vacation, Fishman Island also completed the initial actions of the sky island migration plan almost at the same time.
When Cui Ze accompanied Robin to Aska Island to explore the history, the Fish-Man Island returned to the depths of 10,000 meters and prepared to plan the second phase of the sky island migration plan.
This is also the reason why Jinbei arrived at the Navy Headquarters first.
When the Navy Headquarters held the Shichibukai Conference, Jinbei was on Fishman Island! The distance was too close.
"Although there are some minor setbacks, the overall plan is progressing fairly smoothly."
Jinbei gave a general introduction to the current situation of Fishman Island, including a certain "fishman supremacist" race member who was eliminated by him personally - Hody Jones.
The smooth progress of the sky island migration plan allowed King Neptune, Princess Otohime and others to see the dreamy prospects of this plan. At this time, no one was allowed to influence or interfere with the progress of the follow-up plan.
In the normal timeline, Hody Jones, who had caused a lot of trouble in Fish-Man Island, died calmly under the 10,000-meter-deep sea, and no one cared about his death.
"After listening to our story, the children are looking forward to the second round of the island migration plan, haha!"
As Jinbei spoke, he couldn't help but reveal a simple and honest smile. He was happy for the bright future of Fish-Man Island.
"I wish you good luck in your actions!"
Cui Ze congratulated Jinbei and planned to convey the good news to Fisher Tiger later.
Immediately afterwards, Cui Ze took out a card from his [Awakening Card Deck] and handed it to Jinbei.
[Awakening Card: Killer Whale Fruit]
Cui Ze had long made up his mind to give this animal fruit to Jinbei.
As a "Whale Shark Man", Jinbei has a very good compatibility with the [Orca Fruit]. Using this awakening card can significantly enhance his naval combat capabilities and physical fitness.
Cui Ze had already mentioned this matter to Jinbei through Fisher Tiger.
Therefore, Jinbei did not refuse at this moment, but accepted the card ability of [Orca Fruit] generously.
Now that the "water fear" weakness has been removed, Devil Fruits have almost only their advantages.
Jinbei is quite satisfied with the newly obtained [Orca Fruit].
"A very powerful animal-type fruit... I can feel my power increasing!"
Cui Ze did not disturb Jinbei's process of getting familiar with the fruit's abilities, and waited leisurely for the other participants of the Shichibukai Conference.
In the midst of announcements.
Sand Crocodile arrived at the headquarters, Tyrant Bear arrived at the headquarters, Snake Princess arrived at the headquarters...
at last.
It was that sharp sword intent that seemed to want to cut through the sky, and it kept getting closer to Malinfando!
Cui Ze stood by the window of the conference room, looking at the scene on the sea in the distance.
On the calm sea surface, a coffin-like boat was sailing along with the waves. The swordsman on the boat was constantly accumulating and adjusting his aura and sword power.
The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, arrives in Malinfando!
