Chapter 165 The boring 7 Wuhai meeting
As expected, the place where the Five Old Stars officially met with the Shichibukai was in the "power room" where they usually work.
For Profik, who has read the One Piece comics, the "Between Powers" is not an unfamiliar place. But when you actually go in and see it in the comics, it's still very different.
The first impression of this Wulaoxing office is that it is huge, even bigger than what is shown in the comics. This is reasonable, after all, the power relationships shown in comics are often centered on the Five Old Stars, but at this time, Profic entered through the gate and could see the full picture of the power relationship.
And its emptiness was also beyond Profik's expectation. Between the entire power was a Western-style dome building, which in a sense looked a bit like the inside of a church. In such a huge space, except for the table and chairs in the center, there are almost no furnishings.
Let alone an ordinary person like Profik, even Moria, who is nearly seven meters tall, looks small.
Beside the table and chairs in the center of the power room were six older men - five five old stars, and a tall, muscular old man with a mohawk - the current navy marshal "Cyborg" Sora!
"Welcome to Mariejoia..." Saint Satan, the God of Scientific Defense, spoke first.
The King's Shichibukai Conference has officially begun.
It was said to be the Shichibukai Conference, but in fact there were almost no meaningful issues.
After all, there are currently only three people in the King's Shichibukai. The main purpose of this "Oshishichibukai Meeting" is to sign a formal agreement and allow a few people to meet, so as to officially announce to the outside world the name of the "King's Shichibukai". A large force capable of keeping pace with the "Four Emperors" and the "Navy Headquarters" was officially established.
Coupled with the fact that the Navy, the World Government and the three Shichibukai "all have their own agendas", it is almost impossible to advance the substantive content. The final agreement was almost the same as the one previously drawn up.
The only interesting episode occurred when the formal agreement was signed. Profik proposed that he had accidentally obtained some kind of magical paper that could be used to increase the binding strength of the Shichibukai Agreement.
However, this proposal was rejected by the Five Old Stars, the Navy Marshal and the other two Shichibukai. The reason is "shaking the trust and partnership between each other."
After that, there are the "personal conditions" of some of the seven warriors under the king.
Moria emphasized the sanctity of the "terrible barque" as his private territory and demanded that the World Government and the Navy Headquarters must not interfere with any incident that occurred on the terrorist barque; Sand Crocodile reiterated the right of asylum of the King's Shichibukai , and asked Wulaoxing to allow him to independently choose where to station.
These two requests did not exceed the basic scope of authority of the Qiwuhai under the king, and Wulaoxing readily agreed.
However, Profic saw the clues - Moria obviously wanted to build the "Terror Barque" into the base camp of the zombie army; and the Sand Crocodile's actions were preparing for Pluto and wanted to Pluto must decipher the ancient texts, and if he wants to decipher the ancient texts, he must protect O'Hara's orphan. At this time, he does not know where Pluto is, and of course he cannot easily determine his location.
Naturally, Profik also made his own demands. The first was to ask the world government not to embarrass the family of the agent named "Kulu" in Mariejoia. This doesn't even require Wulaoxing to come forward. The treatment of the families of agents who failed in missions is procedural, and Wulaoxing doesn't even know who Kulu is. As long as two officials are sent to look for it, the problem can be easily solved.
Another requirement is for "Daybreak" to obtain the right to sign contracts with countries around the world and participate in trade. To put it bluntly, it is to make "Daybreak" from a subordinate organization of King Shichibukai to a political entity recognized by the world government.
What was a bit beyond Profic's expectation was that Wu Laoxing agreed to Profic's request without any hesitation, even more readily than he agreed to the request of Crocodile and Moonlight Moria. They seemed completely unaware of the danger hidden in Profik's request.
There is no way, for the Five Old Stars, the danger is always the strong combat power and the pursuit of history. As for economic control and penetration, even they at the top of the world have never seen it. The economic war in the pirate world is, at best, the world government forcing the navy headquarters to obey by controlling funds. Even if the future "Golden Emperor" Tezoro comes out of nowhere, the method he uses is just to try to bribe the Celestial Dragons with money.
In the eyes of Wulaoxing, if Profic is willing to engage in trade and cooperate with other countries, just do it! Anyway, it won’t make any waves.
Then, in the opinion of Profik, the most influential and important part of this "King Shichibukai Conference" on the world situation - according to the agreement between Profik and the Five Old Stars , Regarding other candidates for the King's Shichibukai, the current Shichibukai has the right to make suggestions.
However, neither Sand Crocodile nor Moria seem to be very interested in this "power". They became King Shichibukai just to accumulate strength to achieve their own goals. As for who their "colleagues" are, it doesn't matter at all. Not under consideration. Therefore, the entire meeting quickly became a discussion between Profik and Wu Laoxing, as well as Marshal Kong and General Sengoku.
Profik's idea is completely different. The members of the King's Shichibukai are likely to be the ones he can win over in the future. Therefore, the candidates among them should naturally be particular - they must meet the standards of the world government and allow the Five Old Stars to Accept it, but it must be in his interests as much as possible.
"I have the following suggestions regarding the candidates for the 'King Shichibukai'!" Profik sat on the sofa very "comfortably", as if he didn't care that the person sitting next to him was at the top of the world. Big guys.
"'Navy Hunter' Joracol Mihawk!"
"'Red Hair' Shanks!"
"'Soul-Breaking Sword' Feng Ziyu!"
"'Sea Man' Jinbei!"
“And ‘Fun Queen’ Stussy!”
"Tell me your reasons, Profic!" His Majesty's Shichibukai falls under the jurisdiction of the "God of Scientific Defense", so it was Saint Satan who spoke.
The moment Saint Satan spoke, Profik seemed to feel the endless vicissitudes of life and the accumulation of history rushing towards him, and his calm voice revealed absolute confidence. The wisdom and calmness naturally revealed in the eyes of the old man who had gone through the years made Profik temporarily lose his mind.
But in just a moment, he adjusted himself and began to talk: "Joracor Mihawk is a newly rising great swordsman..."
