Chapter 393: Workers can be demoted, but they will not accept a salary cut!
There is a reason why Wood was able to kill Kizaru without using his armed haki.
It’s not some new invention that Wood Weapons Company has come up with, but the new power that Wood obtained from the last simulation, the blessing of the Sword Master.”
This guy allows Wood to maximize the power of the sword itself, and also gives him the power to kill unkillable things.
Perona doesn't have the physical "Negative Ghost" Wood to kill, so naturally there will be no exception for those with elemental natural Devil Fruit abilities.
Although Kizaru dodged the flame slash just at the critical moment, due to his carelessness, his right hand was still injured by Wood's sword energy, and he was bleeding continuously at this moment.
"Just like Mr. Maezawa said, Mr. Kizaru relies too much on his own fruit ability, and sooner or later he will suffer from this.
I just didn’t expect that the person who caused Mr. Kizaru to suffer would be a junior student of mine. I’m really lucky.”
Seeing Wood's playful and smiling face, Kizaru decided to stop trying and use his strength to get a promotion and a salary increase. However, the current situation forced him to act cautiously.
His main task this time was to protect the safety of the Tianlong people on the island, and secondly to capture the pirates on the island. As for fighting this guy Wood, it was just a whim.
A fight with Wood is of course possible, but the entire Chambord Islands will probably be destroyed in their battle, including the Celestial Dragons on the island, and there will be no exception.
Wood is a pirate, and he is also a big pirate who makes the world government helpless. Even if things get too big, he is not afraid of wearing shoes if he is barefoot and can continue to live happily on the sea.
But Kizaru is different. He is the breadwinner of the World Government and the Navy. If the Celestial Dragons still die under his protection.
Then he will probably really be beaten to death by the Navy and the World Government, and he will go back to the countryside to raise pigs.
Although he, Kizaru, likes paddling, he doesn't want to lose his iron job. It's great to paddle paddling with a high salary. There is no need to violate his own heart for the sake of a temporary dispute.
"As a big shot in the new world, if you don't stay in your own territory, why are you here?
Is it because of these pirates on the island? Are there any of those so-called "supernovas" that you like or know?"
Kizaru, who had lost the will to fight, simply carried out the justice of paddling to the end and started chatting with Wood.
On the one hand, even if the two of them continue to fight, there is no way to tell the winner in a short time. In this case, it is better not to waste energy and just chat and spank, maybe you can get something from each other's mouth.
Useful information.
"Why do you all want to know so much why I suddenly came to the Chambord Islands? You don't believe me when I say I'm just here to watch a show.
Among the pirate supernovas on the island, there are indeed a few little guys that I am quite concerned about, but even if I don't take action, they will be able to leave here safely this time.
Mr. Kizaru probably doesn’t know yet, right? Even though the Chambord Islands are not big, they have hidden many big names, such as a certain vice-captain of One Piece?”
After hearing what Wood said, Reilly, who was eating a melon with a cat in a corner, was suddenly in a good mood while watching the show.
Rayleigh developed a good impression of Luffy when he saw the straw hat on Luffy's head at the slave auction and his behavior of beating up the Celestial Dragons angrily.
Originally, he would appear nearby to stop Kizaru and allow those young people with hope to go to sea. However, he did not expect that before he could take action, the Wood kid got in first, and Kizaru also directly approached him.
Rayleigh was naturally happy that someone could help stop Kizaru. After all, he was already a lot older. Fighting now had to be left to young people.
Although she had been living in seclusion in the Chambord Islands, Dang Xiaqi was in the intelligence business after all, so it was natural that Reilly would not know the navy traitor Wood.
Of course, although he knew Wood, he had only heard of him. This was the first time he had seen him in person.
As the highest combat power of the headquarters, Kizaru, even at his old age, may not be his opponent, so Rayleigh would stay nearby to observe the situation from the beginning.
However, what surprised him was that Wood, who to him was obviously just a young pirate, was actually so good at fighting. Not only did he stop Kizaru on his own, he even suppressed him at one point.
Wood's demonstrated strength, coupled with his behavior of being accommodating to Luffy and others at the auction, also gained some favor from Rayleigh.
After hearing what Wood just said to Kizaru, these good feelings were instantly consumed.
You guys are doing your own thing, why are you chatting with me about me? Is it easy to find a suitable place to live in seclusion?
There are many rich men in the Chambord Islands, and there is a large slave market. I can sell myself every day in exchange for some wine.
If the navy knew that Pluto Rayleigh, the former deputy of the Pirate King, was staying on this island, then how could he stay there in the future?
Wood is really not talking nonsense. The situation in the Shampoo Islands in front of him seems chaotic. Navy Admiral Kizaru landed on the island, and Zhan Momomaru brought a dozen of the "pacifist" first developed by the scientific force, easily crushing the reward worth hundreds of millions.
There are many pirates, and there are a large number of navy warships surrounding the Chambord Islands, and even the navy headquarters is not far from here.
If the pirates on the island want to successfully leave, they must first pass the admiral and "pacifist" levels, and then face countless warships outside the island.
It's definitely not feasible to go towards the Red Earth Continent. After all, you have to pass through the entrance of the Navy Headquarters. This is no different from giving away someone's head directly.
Now the only way out for the pirates on the island is to dive the boat and go to the Fishman Island, which is 10,000 meters deep.
What, what do you mean if the ship is not well coated? Then I'm sorry, I can only wait for death on the island.
The current situation is very good for the navy, which belongs to both the navy admiral and the pacifist. However, the eleven strongest "supernovas" on the pirate side, let alone defeat the navy admiral, are simply "
"Pacifist" is enough for them to drink a pot.
But in such a great situation, and the navy has dispatched so much combat power, not one of the eleven supernova pirates on the island has been arrested. Who would believe it?
Kizaru was paddling hard, even though he could hit a supernova with one kick, he still felt like he was evenly matched.
Zhan Momomaru and the pacifists were about to annihilate the Straw Hats, but the tyrant Bear suddenly appeared to snatch their heads.
It seemed like he slapped the Straw Hats away one by one, but in fact, not only did they let them run away successfully when they were desperate, but they also gave them training plug-ins.
Zhan Taomaru was wearing a bellyband and holding a battle ax. He looked at the tyrant Xiong who suddenly struck him with a hand, and his expression was full of confusion. He had obviously disabled all the opponents, and was about to complete the group destruction and harvest. Xiong
This behavior is completely unnecessary.
It wasn't until two years later, when the Straw Hats reunited and met Zhan Momomaru again, that the guy realized that he had been stabbed in the back by his teammates.
It's a pity that it's useless for him to settle accounts with the bear at this time, because at this time, the tyrant bear has become a weapon in the hands of the world government.
Zhan Taowan had no other choice but to hold his ax and cry like a fat man weighing several hundred pounds.
All in all, if the Navy doesn't send Kizaru and Xiong to the Shampoo Islands this time, and just sends Sen Momomaru with a cross of "pacifists", not to mention what will happen to the Straw Hats.
At least not one of the eleven "supernovas" on the island has succeeded in doing so.
The paddling general and the traitor bear appeared at the same time. It can only be said that things have not happened yet, but the results have already been achieved.
The eleven supernovas on the island ran away and were beaten away, but none of them was caught.
The bandit pirates caught a lot of pirates, but Straw Hat Luffy, who was the culprit of the attack on the Celestial Dragons, and Kidd and Law who were lying on the gun were not caught, which made the Celestial Dragons very angry.
Of course, Kizaru, who was responsible for the main support this time, was scolded bloody by the Warring States Period.
A majestic naval admiral, the highest combat power in the headquarters, and armed with the latest human weapons developed by the Ten Science Troops, he was actually unable to catch even some rookie pirates.
The Tianlong people were very angry about this matter, and even began to doubt whether the highest combat power of the Navy Headquarters was fake, and decided to reduce the funds to the Navy Headquarters by half next year.
The Warring States Period, whose expenses had been cut, was also very angry and directly deducted Kizaru's salary for one year.
When the old paddling man heard that Warring States was going to deduct his salary, he showed a heartbroken expression, saying that the reason why the mission failed was entirely because of Wood's obstruction.
It's a pity that Kizaru's attempt to shirk the blame failed this time, because after a large amount of naval support landed on the island, Wood not only had nothing to do, but was also sent back by a special ship arranged by others.
The reason is also very simple. Mr. Wood saved the lives of the Roswader family from the vicious pirates, as his eldest daughter Lyria Palace can prove!
Not to mention that Wood's current status on the sea is special and involves the interests of too many people, so he cannot be touched at all. Now that they have the guarantee of the Tianlong people, Wood and others naturally left the Chambord Islands without any obstruction.
Kizaru still has to bear the blame for this, because not only did he fail to catch the Straw Hats and other culprits during this trip, he even attacked Mr. Wood first, causing him great psychological trauma.
Mr Wood said he was unhappy.
Wood's mind was traumatized, and Wood Arms Company's weapon production progress would slow down, so the pocket money given to the Dracos would naturally be appropriately reduced.
Wood was unhappy, and the Tianlong people were naturally unhappy too. Therefore, they did not dare to vent their anger on the sponsor's father after having their pocket money deducted, so they had no choice but to look for the Navy to take action.
Poor Kizaru never thought that this time he wanted to make some leisure work and make some achievements, but he almost lost his position as admiral...
If it hadn't been for the Warring States Marshal's efforts to protect Kizaru, saying that the admiral, as the highest combat power of the headquarters, could not be lost, otherwise it would cause turmoil on the sea, Kizaru would have been beaten to the end this time.
After being reprimanded by the Five Old Stars once again, after returning to Marinefando in the Warring States Period, Kizaru was also given the same verbal treatment.
However, compared to Marshal of the Warring States Period, Kizaru had no other advantage than being thick-skinned. As a veteran in the workplace, he knew full well that the Warring States Period would deal with him in this way, which meant that he had secured his iron job.
As long as he can maintain a high-paying job that allows him to paddle, even if he is sprayed with a little more saliva, Kizaru said it is not unacceptable.
Seeing that Kizaru looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Sengoku, who was scolding until his throat was dry, took out his last trump card and directly deducted Kizaru's salary for the whole year.
General Kizaru, who had always been arrogant and completely impassive before, suddenly changed his expression when he heard that Warring States was going to deduct his salary.
After some hard arguments, Kizaru was finally defeated. Although Kizaru said he was willing to accept a demotion rather than a salary cut, Sengoku's attitude was quite firm.
He knew very well that to deal with Kizaru, a salary cut was far more of a deterrent than a demotion.
Moreover, as he said to Wulaoxing, with the current turmoil in the sea, the admiral, as the highest combat power of the headquarters, cannot be easily changed, otherwise it will only cause serious consequences.
Although Kizaru likes paddling, in terms of strength, he is indeed among the best in the navy and can give greater deterrence to pirates on the sea.
Gion's strength has improved rapidly over the years, and he has been in the position of "candidate general" for a long time, but compared to Akainu, Kizaru, and Aochi, he is still a little behind.
When he retires in a few years, and one of the current three generals succeeds him as marshal of the navy, then Taotu should be able to become one of the navy admirals naturally.
After sending Kizaru away, Warring States suddenly remembered another guy whose salary was often deducted by him, so he quickly locked the door and took out a phone bug.
Don't get me wrong, the reason why Seng Guo was so cautious was not because he wanted to secretly watch a movie alone, but because he wanted to contact someone.
As for why he is so mysterious, it is entirely because the status of the person he wants to contact is completely different today than before.
To put it bluntly, in terms of influence and connections on the sea, Sengoku intuitively felt that he, the marshal of the navy, might not be able to compare with him.
At least he, the Marshal of the Warring States Period, didn't have the energy to make those Celestial Dragons who like to have their nostrils pointed in the sky obedient.
And after all these years, Warring States had never thought that the boy at that time could grow to such a point. It was just a move on his own whim, but now it has become the navy's biggest core secret.
"Bulu bulu bulu——!"
Following a rhythmic ringtone from the phone bug, the other party also picked up the phone on the other side, and a man's voice came out...
