Navy Headquarters, Marlene Fando.
The Marshal's Office.
"Crocodahl plotted to steal the country, and was turned over by Taotu's disciples on the spot?"
"Aren't you even Rhodes' opponent?"
"Or two to fight one?"
After listening to the flying squirrel's report, the Warring States took a deep breath.
He doesn't understand Crocodile, but he is very aware of the flying squirrel's strength. It is definitely the top lieutenant general in the headquarters. It is one of the ranks of the Navy. Standby!
But he was still defeated by that seventeen-year-old boy from Rhodes!
What kind of monster did Taotu accept?
In addition to being shocked, Sengoku couldn't help but feel a little regret, because Rhodes was not a navy.
The current navy is actually in a state of disconnection.
Although there are many Lieutenant-Admiral-level characters in the headquarters, there are almost no navy rookies with the potential of being a general.
Sengoku was worried about the future of the navy.
He and Garp of the older generation are expected to survive for a few more years, and the middle-aged generation is supported by the three generals of Akainu.
But the younger generation...is really anxious.
When he thinks of the younger generation, he thinks of his old comrade-in-arms Zefa, the former chief instructor with full teaching ability.
pity……
Warring States sighed in his heart, feeling overwhelmed.
The situation in the sea became more and more complicated. The power of the Four Emperors was as stable as Mount Tai, but the navy felt a sense of twilight.
Thinking of this, Warring States glanced at Garp, whose nose was bubbling, and the sleeping thief was happy. He didn't get angry, and wished he could directly transform into the form of a big Buddha and slap him with a slap.
Snapped!
The malicious eyes seemed to have some kind of real attack, bursting the bubble in an instant.
Karp opened his eyes drowsily, smashed his mouth, and after a while, he took out another pack of senbei, as if treating the Marshal's office as a tea restaurant, and he was done.
In other words, a small Shichibukai could not attract the attention of this naval hero at all.
"I'm really... envious."
Sengoku shook his head slightly, and put this thought into his mind in a blink of an eye. The navy needed him as a wise general.
With a look of thought in his eyes, he quickly made a decision.
"The evidence of Crocodile's conspiracy to seek the country is convincing, and the identity of Qiwuhai is removed, and he is imprisoned in the advance city. There is nothing to say."
"However, Qiwuhai is indispensable, and we must find someone to fill it up immediately, continue to maintain the deterrence of ordinary pirates, and maintain the stability of the sea..."
King Shichibukai was originally a group of powerful neutral pirates who were recruited from the pirates by the world government in order to reduce the power of the pirates and were willing to accept the canonization of the world government.
While Shichibukai and the World Government are on guard against each other and make use of each other, the biggest role is to maintain the stability of the sea situation and deter some evil little pirates.
Warring States began to recall many long-established masters in the sea and the supernovas that appeared recently. After careful consideration, he could not find a candidate who might join Qiwuhai.
Most of the famous masters belong to it, and it is unlikely that they will join the Qiwuhai.
And this year's Pirate Supernovas are of poor quality and lack of prestige, and they can't find a suitable one.
The more the Warring States period thought, the more headaches became. The ghost system of Qiwuhai should be abolished. I really don't know what the people in the world government were thinking.
"Kapp, do you remember any more powerful field masters?"
Warring States rubbed his temples and asked casually.
"Didn't Taotu teach a good apprentice? Let him go."
Garp squinted at Sengoku and said while chewing on the senbei.
"Eh?"
Sengoku was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he was old and confused, and he didn't even have a thorough understanding of Garp.
It was never stipulated that Shichibukai must be a pirate.
Rhodes has enough fame and strength.
Moreover, with the relationship between Taotu, the position should always be biased towards the navy, so that it can also play a leading role.
Simply... perfect!
"Let the flying squirrel ask Rhodes about his intentions."
……
Rain.
When the flying squirrel found Rhodes and confessed to Sengoku's inquiry, Rhodes couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.
When I was really dozing off, someone gave me a pillow.
But it's normal.
Rhodes has subconsciously accumulated fame along the way, and his strength is also vividly reflected in the flying squirrel battle. Just in recent years, there have been few wild powerhouses.
It is reasonable for Sengoku to think of him.
Seeing that Rhodes was silent, the flying squirrel thought he was unwilling, and quickly persuaded:
"Qiwuhai has no restrictions except the summoning order. It is extremely free. You can go wherever you want."
"And the status is respected. As long as you apply for it, you can mobilize the forces of the nearby navy or the world government to assist in the battle."
Speaking of which, the flying squirrel seemed to feel that it was not convincing enough, and directly proposed the special power given by the Warring States Period:
"Marshal of the Warring States period admired you very much and said that as long as you become Qiwuhai, you can go to the naval headquarters and read the collection of books."
With the history of the Navy for hundreds of years, the experience of swordsmanship and physical skills contained in it is like a sea of smoke.
If you can read it at will, you may not be able to make Rhodes suddenly stronger, but it will definitely broaden Rhodes' path to becoming a strong man and lay a solid foundation for stepping onto the peak.
Not to mention that Rhodes originally wanted to become Qibukai. Even if he didn't want to, after hearing about this power, he would probably agree.
Zhijiang Warring States really understood people's hearts. He saw through the nature of Rod Wuchi at a glance, and knew that only stronger power could seduce a character like Rod.
Of course, this is nothing for the Navy
Knowledge is priceless, but also cheap.
Using the collection of classics to win over a future great swordsman is undoubtedly a very cost-effective business.
Seeing Rhodes agreeing, Flying Squirrel breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help showing a smile.
As an old navy, Flying Squirrel deeply hates Shichibukai, a "legitimate pirate" created by the world government to maintain stability.
But Rhodes is different.
Although the time together is still short, the flying squirrel can see that Rhodes has a bottom line in his heart is definitely not the kind of person who kills at will.
"It would be great if Shichibukai were all people like Rhodes."
Flying Squirrel thought to himself, but he also knew how difficult it was.
Since Roger opened the era of pirates, pirates have sadly become synonymous with "dream".
Nowadays, the most powerful experts in the ocean are basically pirates.
The first choice of young people is generally pirates, which is one of the reasons why the navy is weak.
The pirate world is a world of the strong after all. One person is the enemy of the country, and the other person is the leader of the era. The characters who look down on the world like the Four Emperors are too strong and too strong.
……
Becoming a Shichibukai does not require going to a place such as the Navy Headquarters to accept an appointment. It just has to go through a process, and then the world government will announce the identity of Rhodes Shibukai to the world.
This time is probably more than a month, but less than two months.
Rhode was not in a hurry, nor could he be in a hurry.
In the past two days, he took Wei Wei to visit the rebel army and the Alabasta royal family one after another.
After a friendly "communication", the situation in Alabasta was instantly stable.
As a qualified modern person, with the magic of dancing fans, it is also easy to solve the drought in Alabasta.
The main contradiction in the kingdom was resolved, and Princess Weiwei also traveled around to stabilize people's hearts, and soon the whole country was thriving.
The flying squirrel, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, was completely relieved of Rhodes, and at the same time had some respect.
Because he found that Rhodes is not only powerful, but also very knowledgeable.
Not only is the governance of the country eloquent, but even dance fans can use it to solve large-scale drought problems.
