Chapter 201 Vice Admiral Hakuryuu of the Navy Headquarters! (Please subscribe for more updates!)
On the rough sea of the new world.
From a long distance away, Storm saw a huge bright yellow skull standing on the distant sea.
This skull is carefully carved to look like it is wearing a pirate turban. Densely packed and jagged buildings are clustered under the skull. At first glance, I thought it belonged to a pirate. A mouth full of rotten teeth.
This small and medium-sized island was once famous in the pirate world——
Beehive Island!
Ström looked at the Beehive Island on the distant sea, and the three generations of owners of the island quickly flashed through his mind.
As early as decades ago.
Beehive Island is a paradise for pirates, and it is also the home of the notorious Rocks Pirates!
But after the Valley of Gods incident ended.
Rocks D. Jiback was declared dead, and the Rocks Pirates fell apart.
This pirate island in the new world finally fell into the hands of another person, who was also a member of the Rocks Pirates——
Wang Zhi!
If it takes a few more years.
This pirate island will also welcome its third owner, one of the future "New Four Emperors" - Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach!
But at this time.
The master of Beehive Island is still the same——
Wang Zhi!
"Wang Zhi, this name... is as if he comes from the same country as Lao Cai and Huo Lisha... Will his origin be the same as the 'Land of Flowers'?"
A somewhat inexplicable thought flashed through Storm's mind.
Storm knew very little about Wang Zhi's information.
He only knew that this guy was a member of the Rocks Pirates, the master of Honeycomb Island, and most likely a powerful Devil Fruit user.
After all, in the more than ten years since the beginning of the Great Pirate Age, Wang Zhi was able to firmly occupy the territory of Honeycomb Island under the noses of the Four Emperors. One can imagine Wang Zhi's level of strength.
But as for other intelligence information, Storm was not sure.
‘Should I find a ‘professional’ to ask? Don’t fight an unprepared battle…’
Storm just wanted to find the "professional".
But at this moment, a very sudden phone ringtone rang.
Bru——Bru——
Storm frowned slightly and took out his personal phone bug from the side.
"Moxi Moxi...Marshal of the Warring States Period?"
The caller at this time was a person who was completely beyond Storm's expectation - Marshal of the Navy Headquarters, Buddha of the Warring States Period.
"White Dragon."
The Warring States Period didn't know what they were doing, so they asked in a completely businesslike and indifferent tone.
“Where are you now?”
"New world."
Ström casually made a clay sofa to sit on, and replied casually.
"What's wrong?"
New world?
In the Navy Headquarters Building, in the Marshal's Office, Sengoku couldn't help but frowned when he heard where Storm was.
Although he also knew the tasks and missions of the "Blade Force", he also knew that Storm was already tasked with "breaking into the new world".
But now is obviously not a good time to carry out that task...
"Ahem, that's it."
Seng Guo coughed lightly and went straight to the topic.
“The government and navy planned to publicly execute Pluto Rayleigh, who was captured earlier!
"In addition to the power of the government and navy, King Shichibukai will also participate in this public execution!"
Because of Pluto Rayleigh's personal reasons.
The World Government and the Navy Headquarters did not pay too much attention to this "Pluto Execution Incident".
After all, it was just an execution of an old pirate who had been retired for decades.
It’s not a formal war with a certain Emperor Pirate Group in the New World!
Therefore, the World Government and the Navy Headquarters did not think about investing too much power.
Take the War on the Top as an example.
At that time, in order to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates.
The Navy Headquarters summoned 100,000 elites from all over the world, including Navy Marshals, three admirals, naval heroes... and a large number of top naval forces gathered in Marineland. Even King Shichibukai They were also forcibly summoned.
So much power is gathered together to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates!
But to execute Pluto Rayleigh, there is no need to consider the issue of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Therefore, the Navy did not mobilize its forces with great fanfare.
Just like an old man who asked for leave to go home before...
The Warring States Period just let him go back to the East China Sea.
If you want to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates.
How could the Warring States Period let such a top fighter go?
But then again.
Pluto Rayleigh is also a legend from the old times.
So the Navy still invested a certain degree of force in this execution.
It is not just the power of the Navy Headquarters.
The Seven Kings under the Shichibukai were also considered by the navy.
In the just-concluded emergency meeting of the Navy Headquarters.
"Calling the King Shichibukai to participate in the execution of Pluto" has been unanimously approved.
This is also the fundamental reason why Warring States sent a message to Storm.
"His Majesty Shichibukai is going to participate in the execution of Pluto Rayleigh?"
Storm's expression became a lot weirder.
“Why didn’t you tell me about this when I arrested someone before?
“Is this summons a forced summons? ”
His Majesty Shichibukai is an official big pirate recognized by the World Government. While enjoying their privileges, they also need to fulfill their obligations.
Every once in a while, the Navy will summon His Majesty on a regular basis. The Qibukai participate in negotiation meetings, where major events in the pirate world are often discussed, and then the respective tasks of the Qibukai are divided.
Of course, not all Qibukai under the king would care about such boring meetings.
Many times.
This so-called "King Shichibukai Conference" will only be attended by a few people.
But this is only for "ordinary summons".
If the World Government and the Navy Headquarters issue a "forced summons" order to King Shichibukai.
If you ignore the forced summons of the King Shichibukai, you may be directly deprived of the identity and power of the King Shichibukai, or even be thrown directly into the deep sea prison!
So this is why Storm asked "Is this a mandatory call?"
If the navy needs to forcefully summon King Shichibukai to participate in the execution of Pluto.
Storm still needs to revise his previous action plan...
"No, this time it is not a forced call."
Warring States said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the Shichibukai, can come over as much as possible. If there are other matters that need to be dealt with, it doesn't matter."
Storm instantly understood what Sengoku meant.
To put it bluntly.
The Navy Headquarters did not pay enough attention to this "Pluto Execution Incident".
"I may not be able to go to the headquarters, Marshal Warring States." Storm confessed directly.
“I’m going to Beehive Island now.”
“Beehive Island!?”
Sengoku’s tone instantly increased a lot .
But the next second, he forced himself to calm down.
“Why are you going to Beehive Island? That’s Wang Zhi’s territory! He is a very troublesome guy!”
“It’s because of Wang Zhi in Beehive Island that I came here "This island."
Storm thought for a while and asked.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period, how much intelligence information does the Navy have about Wang Zhi? Is it convenient to reveal some?"
"...You wait a moment, I will close the door."
Warring States put down the phone bug's microphone, then closed the doors and windows of the marshal's office, and found a white anti-eavesdropping device. Phone bug.
After all this was done, Warring States picked up the microphone again.
"Major General Storm! You don't want to attack Wang Zhi, do you!?"
"Major General? Oh, by the way, there is one more thing."
When Storm was called the Warring States Period, he instantly remembered another important thing.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period! I have shed blood for the Navy, I have made meritorious service for the Navy, and I have captured Pluto Rayleigh for the Navy!
"My current position is still 'Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters' , is this a bit too low? "
As soon as these words came out.
The Warring States Period was at a loss for words.
Within the naval system, if you want to get promoted and make a fortune, the simplest and most direct way is definitely "military merit"!
The more pirates you catch and the higher their quality, the faster your military rank will increase.
This is a very common sense thing.
Of course there are exceptions.
For example, "World Recruitment"...
The kind of "world conscription" that can recruit and establish two navy headquarters admirals at one time...
But that is an unconventional operation.
Let’s go back to Storm’s capture of Pluto Rayleigh.
Sengoku knew that Storm had used a Pluto Rayleigh to knock out five or six Devil Fruits from the World Government.
When he thought of this, he felt a little jealous (crossed out) - envy.
It is extremely difficult for the Navy to obtain the Devil Fruit from the World Government.
But if the pirates want to get the Devil Fruit from the World Government, it is that simple.
“Didn’t you already get six Devil Fruits?”
Sengoku reminded him directly.
“That’s your ‘reward’ for capturing Pluto Rayleigh!”
"Hey, hey, hey, it makes no sense for you to say that, Marshal of the Warring States Period!"
Storm responded quite dissatisfied.
"My six Devil Fruits were traded from the World Government! What does this have to do with the Navy?
"I am from the Navy, not from the World Government!
"Marshal, aren't you afraid of hurting the hearts of the lower-level sailors by doing this?"
A low-level marine...
You are a shitty low-level marine!
Several blue veins popped up on Warring States' forehead, and his face was extremely distorted.
"You have already taken six Devil Fruits..."
"Then the Navy wants to give me six more? I don't mind at all!"
Storm pretended not to understand what Sengoku meant.
“A navy has made great achievements.
“To be promoted and to make a fortune, one need must be met, right? "
Even the Warring States Period felt that there was nothing wrong with Storm's words.
If the Navy did not have the word "justice" stamped on its back...
"Major General Storm!"
Warring States advised (hustled) and admonished (you) earnestly.
"The navy arrests pirates for the sake of justice!"
"Then the navy protects the Tianlong people for the sake of justice?"
"..."
"Then the Navy does not protect non-member countries, is it also for justice?"
"..."
"I have always felt that using a universal concept to package the violence under the World Government Military institutions are a very funny thing."
"..."
"Of course the navy can be just! But a just navy will never be a lackey to maintain the rule of the world government! ”
Warring States took a deep breath, and he looked up at the plaque on the side, the plaque with [Absolute Justice] hanging on it.
"...Major General Storm——"
"Wait a minute! Marshal Sengoku."
Storm interrupted Sengoku coldly.
“At Navy Headquarters, you can call me ‘Rear Admiral’.
"But now that I am a pirate in the new world, you should call me 'White Dragon'!"
"Major General Storm!"
Sengoku still insisted on his previous title. .
“Capturing Pluto Rayleigh is indeed a great achievement! You deserve to be promoted!
“In view of your special status, your promotion order will not be announced publicly for the time being.
"But from now on, in the name of Admiral of the Navy, I appoint you as Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"
Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters Hakuryuu!
Storm nodded with satisfaction.
He then skipped the topics of "Navy" and "Justice" and talked about the previous incident.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period, how much intelligence does the headquarters have on Wang Zhi?"
"Major General Storm - No, Lieutenant General, are you really going to attack Wang Zhi?"
"Of course!"
Storm said seriously.
"A 'Pluto Rayleigh' and a 'Hive King' should be able to secure my position as 'Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters', right?"
Do you think so? A little too "utilitarian"?
The Warring States Period was speechless.
But after a while, he honestly told the intelligence news about Wang Zhi.
"Wang Zhi is a member of the Rocks Pirates, and his position in the Rocks Pirates is the 'sniper'...
"He has three types of domineering, In particular, he has a very high attainment in [Information, Color and Dominance].
“Of course, the most difficult thing about Wang Zhi is his Devil Fruit ability.
"Wang Zhi is a user with the ability of [Superman type Teleportation Fruit]!"
