In the end, Morgans agreed to Li Yan's three conditions.

However, for the sake of insurance, he still added many clauses to the agreement to ensure that Li Yan could not use this nominal affiliation to interfere with the World Economic News Agency at any level.

In fact, what Morgans didn't know was that he was overthinking.

The main reason why Li Yan wants World Economic News to be nominally affiliated with the East China Sea Navy is to keep it secret.

This is the same reason why Li Yan asked the people from Carrera's Donghai Branch, as well as the soldiers who agreed to be sent by the Revolutionary Army for training, to belong to the Eighteenth Branch.

The system doesn't care whether you are a nominal subordinate or not. As long as you are affiliated with the East China Sea Navy, you will also be subject to confidentiality restrictions.

Kaku is the best example.

As an agent, he has never been able to reveal any secrets of the 18th branch. How sad.

Three days later, the World Economic News.

[The greatest invention of this century, the mobile phone!]

A headline directly occupied half of the newspaper, gave a comprehensive introduction to the mobile phone, and even imagined countless usage scenarios.

Finally, it was directly announced that the first batch of one million units will be released to the world in one month.

The price is only 1999 Baileys.

Of course, although many people are curious about this mobile phone after reading the newspaper, in fact the mobile phone has not become a big hit.

One is a person in this world who does not have a clear concept of digital information and cannot understand its various charms.

Another thing is, no one has seen this real thing, right?

In short, although it has received attention, it has not exploded yet.

However, neither Li Yan nor Morgans were worried about this situation at all.

After actually using it, no one can resist the huge temptation brought by this mobile phone.

------

A few days later.

Speaking of which, the pirate world has been really lively recently.

The revolutionary army changed from their normal behavior and directly attacked Marigio's stronghold, and even made them spin around.

Immediately afterwards, Morgans announced that he would release an epoch-making product called a mobile phone.

And today...

Another big thing happened.

Matt, one of the seven warriors under the king, got the Shasha fruit and came to the East China Sea.

And, he issued a challenge to Li Yan.

This is simple.

You know, the last time Li Yan entered the Grand Line, his main purpose was to trick him.

But in the end, no one else was found after more than a month.

After all, Violet's ability is only 4,000 kilometers away and cannot cover the whole world.

Moreover, being able to see 4,000 kilometers does not mean that he knows everything within 4,000 kilometers. This is a different concept.

In short, Violet was unable to find Matt in more than a month.

But now, this guy comes to the door and claims to challenge himself?

Did this guy become addicted after eating a Shasha fruit?

BLU BRU BRU...

"I'm Li Yan!"

Li Yan picked up the phone on his desk and spoke directly.

"Li Yan, I am Warring States."

"Marshal, why did you have time to call me today?"

"It's not because of you!"

"I've been staying at the branch recently and haven't done anything. Marshal, please don't label me randomly!"

"You know what happened to Matt, right?"

Ignoring Li Yan's words, Warring States asked directly.

"Of course I know. As soon as this guy entered the East China Sea, he said everywhere that he wanted to challenge me. If I didn't know this, wouldn't my job as the governor of the East China Sea be in vain?"

"Marshal, you're not here to plead with him, are you?"

Speaking of which, Li Yan also felt very sad for his marshal.

He was obviously a navy marshal, but when he approached me, he was mostly interceding for the pirates and asking him not to kill him.

As for this phone call, I'm afraid it's a similar situation.

What kind of navy marshal is this?

Holding the phone bug, someone was complaining crazily in his mind.

However, this time the Warring States Period was really not for Matt's request.

"Begging for mercy? Why should I plead for him?"

"Even the Five Old Stars have said it. As the King of the Qibukai, if he comes to trouble the navy, it's okay to just kill him!"

Good guy, has Mr. Wu changed his gender?

Haven't we always been saying that the balance of the three major forces is the cornerstone of world stability?

Why do you suddenly say that it doesn't matter if you kill Matt?

Li Yan was also greatly surprised by Warring States' words.

But he soon understood.

Now the old man Wu is in a very bad mood. After all, he has been teased by Dorag for two whole months and he is still angry.

As a result, Matt hit the muzzle of the gun himself.

Well, in this way, there is no problem in killing Matt by yourself. There is no need to prepare all kinds of foreshadowing like before.

"Li Yan, Matt is just a small matter. After all, although he has good physical skills and has obtained the Shasha Fruit, in terms of overall strength, he is only at the level of an elite lieutenant general."

"And there is another problem for you."

"Hawkeye Mihawk!"

No, why is it related to Hawkeye again?

It seems that I have no interaction with him, right?

"Marshal, what exactly is going on?"

After hearing this, Li Yan also asked immediately.

After all, unlike other Shichibukai, Mihawk is special. He is the ceiling of combat power in the Shichibukai, a general-level existence.

"Well, actually..."

A few minutes later...

When Warring States explained the situation again, Li Yan finally understood.

To put it simply, Taotu returned to the headquarters and asked to be transferred to serve in Donghai. He said that he lost to Li Yan in kendo, and also mentioned that Li Yan created a new system of kendo.

Finally, the words reached Eagle Eye's ears somehow.

You can imagine what happens next.

In short, it didn't take long for Mihawk to set off towards the East China Sea.

After the headquarters grasped his movements, they also asked the navy to inquire about Mihawk's purpose along the way.

Mihawk's answer was...

I've been a little bored lately, so I went to Donghai to learn the art of swordsmanship from Li Yan.

"Okay, Marshal, what you are saying is that there are two Shichibukai on their way to challenge me, and one of them is the ceiling of the Shichibukai's combat power?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Well, there were only two people left to complete the Shichibukai mission, but in the end, they took the initiative to deliver it to my door.

However, Li Yan doesn't have much confidence in whether he can defeat Hawkeye now.

You know, this guy is much stronger than Peach Rabbit. The title of the world's greatest swordsman is not a self-proclaimed one, but an absolute manifestation of his strength.

That's not to say that Li Yan has no chance at all, but his certainty is certainly not very high.

"Li Yan, even if you are only the general of Donghai, the navy cannot afford the defeat of a general by the Shichibukai. Do you understand?"

"Of course I understand!"

"So, tell me now whether you can defeat Hawkeye. If not, I will find a way to stop him."

"No!"

Li Yan shook his head and refused directly.
Chapter completed!
