Chapter 168 The Prelude to the Big Event
The first "King Shichibukai Conference" ended soon.
When leaving Marigioa, the three Shichibukai had different thoughts.
Sand Crocodile's complexion is always "overcast" or "cloudy", and sometimes there is even the possibility of "rain", which represents his inner peace. Although he finally chose to sign the agreement provided by Profik, this did not mean that he completely trusted Profik. Now, what he wants to do is to use his own channels to check out Profik's information after he returns.
It’s better to master the power quickly! Sand Crocodile clenched his fists. Losing to Whitebeard made him realize the value of power even more.
Moria didn't miss the prosperous Mariejoia at all. He wished he could spread his wings, fly back to the terrifying three-masted sailboat, and immediately start his zombie army career.
As long as an "undead army" can be established, then even if the enemy is "Kaido", there is nothing to be afraid of!
Profic, on the other hand, was chatting with Crocodile at one moment and with Moria at another. He seemed particularly "attentive" and did not care about the boredom of the other two Shichibukai. He seemed to be openly forming a clique.
Until they left Mariejoia by boat, Profic still did not forget to say hello to the two Shichibukai.
"Brother Sha, don't forget to come and be a guest on the Bifur when you have time!"
"Brother Moria, come visit us next time on the Terror Barque!"
Before boarding the ship back to Chambord, he handed a letter in his hand to a navy officer on the shore who was responsible for "escorting", "Give this to Marshal Kong!"
……
"What?" Sora, the naval marshal on the warship, was startled. The experienced navy marshal's voice was filled with rare surprise, "You said Shichibukai Profik applied to go to the navy headquarters?"
Although His Majesty the Shichibukai and the Navy Headquarters are currently nominal allies, the Shichibukai are pirates after all and are naturally at odds with the Navy. Generally speaking, pirates always avoid the navy, and the navy's dislike of pirates will not change just because of the identity of "Oshishibukai".
Why doesn't this Profic play his cards according to common sense? As soon as he took charge of the Shichibukai, he applied to visit the Navy Headquarters and even said nonsense about enhancing feelings.
"Sengoku, what do you think?" Faced with such a difficult problem, Kong immediately asked Sengoku for his opinion.
Sengoku has always been Sora's "right-hand man". As Sora gets older, Sengoku has been gradually trained as the successor of the Navy Marshal in recent years. In many cases, Sengoku can directly perform the functions of the Navy Marshal.
"After all, they are allies in name only..." Warring States made his attitude clear as soon as he opened his mouth. He was inclined to agree to Profic's request. Warring States had already heard about the Five Old Stars assigning Profik to invite the new Shichibukai candidates. He didn't understand why Profik wanted to come out of the blue if he didn't rush to the new world after receiving the task.
Sora nodded. Everyone knew that His Majesty Shichibukai and the Navy Headquarters seemed to be incompatible with each other, but this guy Prophik had to pretend to be confused, so the Navy Headquarters could only stay with him until the end.
"Then get ready! Don't let the majesty of the Navy Headquarters fall in front of your 'allies'!"
……
At this time, Profik had temporarily returned to the Shampoo Islands. While waiting for a reply from the Navy Headquarters, he still had a few things to do.
The first thing is to prepare gifts for the generals of the Navy Headquarters. This matter requires careful investigation. After all, who are the generals in the Navy Headquarters, and their "positions", "combat power" and "status" will not be disclosed to the outside world and can only be determined from information in newspapers. put together.
You won't know if you don't investigate. Once you investigate, you will be shocked. The Navy headquarters at this time is still very different from when Luffy went to sea in the future.
The navy marshal is Sora, the generals include Sengoku and Zefa, Tsuru is already the chief staff officer, and Garp is already a well-deserved naval hero. But under this structure, there are many differences among the Mesozoic members of the Navy. Some of the Marines who had already become lieutenant generals when Luffy went to sea (such as Stoloberg) have not yet obtained the corresponding military ranks at this time, but instead have more There are many characters not mentioned in the original work.
After some investigation, Profik determined that at least "Cyborg" Sora, "Black Arms" Zefa, "Sengoku" Sengoku, "Iron Fist" Garp, "Great Staff" Crane, "Akainu" Saka Ski, "Kizaru" Porusalino, "Aoki" Kuzan, "Tea Dolphin" Kaji, "Peach Rabbit" Gion, "White Snake" Ida, "Orange Sheep" Snora, "Black Horse" "Tian Sheng and the other thirteen people prepared gifts.
In addition to these people, some veteran lieutenant generals also deserve special attention, but I don’t know how many there are in total.
After receiving a reply from the Navy Headquarters that he could visit in three days, he called Jinbei on Fishman Island to inform him about the recruitment of the "Shichibukai".
In fact, among the several candidates provided this time, the people that Profik really wanted to recruit into the King's Shichibukai were Jinbei and Mihawk. These two are the ones he thinks are easier to win over - Profic is already friendly with Fish-Man Island, while Hawkeye is arrogant but alone. Once something changes in the Shichibukai system, he is likely to become the target of winning over.
As for the others, Shanks is an important force in the "sea balance" in the future. If he joins the Shichibukai, he will be controlled by the government; Stu Xi is a member of the World Government. They should not waste a Shichibukai quota, and they will definitely He was instructed to refuse; as for Feng Ziyu, this woman who had not appeared in the original work was a variable, but with her current popularity, it would be strange if she was not included in the candidates.
And the only person he was really sure would accept his invitation was Jinbei. Originally, Profik added Jinbei to this list just to give it a try. He originally thought that the Five Old Stars would exclude Jinbei, who was not yet famous, but he didn't expect that they actually agreed.
It can only be said that the World Government values its relationship with Fish-Man Island more than imagined.
"That's the thing. I think I can agree to His Majesty Shichibukai's invitation. In addition, I will go to the Navy Headquarters in three days and need some snacks from Fish-Man Island. In addition, please notify them and the plan can begin."
The voice of the whale shark came from the phone: "Brother Profic, on behalf of Fishman Island and Tiger Island, I would like to express my gratitude. Your kindness will always be engraved in my heart!"
……
Soon, the news that Profic was about to go to the Navy Headquarters in three days reached Fisher Tiger via Fish-Man Island, and a major event that shocked the entire world was about to begin!
