After the battle at the top, the Navy had a profound understanding that existences like the "Four Emperors" who showed off their powerful appearance were not the most dangerous existences.
People like Blackbeard, Bucky the Clown, and Wood who know how to tolerate and hide their existence are the real threats!
Compared with Sora, the "Four Emperors" who have power but no brains, beings like Blackbeard, Bucky the Clown and Wood, who have both brains and strength, are the real danger.
Just like in this war on the top, if it weren't for Marshal Warring States' "foresight", Blackbeard might have succeeded and become the big winner of the war on top. With the "Shock Fruit" ability, he might even replace Bai
Beard becomes the new "Four Emperors".
Bucky the Clown, who used to be such an unknown figure, who would have thought that he would have such an amazing background as the crew of One Piece and the red-haired Shanks brothers.
First, he was one of the masterminds of the riot in Impel Down City, and then he unveiled the fig leaf of their navy, causing flaws in the Warring States Marshal's original plan and causing the navy to lose a lot of reputation.
The current clown Bucky has successfully changed his life from a small pirate in the East China Sea with a bounty of more than 10 million beli to one of the seven warriors under the king known as the "Senryang Clown".
Compared with Blackbeard and Bucky the Clown, Wood, the last known as the "ancient weapon", is the one Akainu is most afraid of.
He obviously has power and status comparable to the "Four Emperors", and his own strength is one of the best in the entire sea, and his connections are the most wild in the world. However, he usually behaves in a low-key manner, and has not even shown any obvious ambitions.
As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. The more low-key Wood is, the more problematic others think he is.
He obviously has the strength to compete for the Pirate King, but he just settles down and does business in a corner. Who the hell would believe this?
It would be fine if Wood himself did not have enough strength and power, but in that "Final Battle", Wood showed a terrifying background that was enough to form a tripartite confrontation with the Navy camp and the Four Emperors Alliance.
As long as he has an idea, Wood can instantly replace the Whitebeard Pirates and become one of the Four Emperors... No, it should be said that the world has already accepted that he is the new Four Emperors.
But such a being, after that battle, neither chose to expand its territory nor recruit troops because of its fame, but stayed on the island and lived a salty life. Who dares to believe this?
With Wood's current power and status, it is obvious that he is enough to dominate one side and even become the leader of the "Four Emperors", but he has not done so, and is still wandering in the neutral camp among the major forces.
There are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that Wood is indeed a person with no ambition, and the other possibility is that he has great ambitions and feels that the time has not yet come and it is not the time for him to rise.
Blackbeard exposed his true strength and purpose in the War on Top just because he thought the time had come, but the final result was obvious, this guy was immediately thrown into the street.
Wood's current foundation and strength are so huge, but he still does not choose to show his ambition. So it can only be said that his ambition is far greater than Blackbeard, or his ability to tolerate is even stronger than Blackbeard!
All in all, Wood is a salty fish with no ambitions. Neither the Navy nor the other "Four Emperors" obviously believe this.
If he was a person with no sense, how could he have managed such a network of connections on the sea, such a huge family business, and become the owner of the "Overlord Color and Dominance" in twenty years?
Aokiji's purpose this time is very simple, that is, to infiltrate Wood's forces, find a way to gain Wood's trust, and find out what Wood's true purpose is.
"If a big shot like a former navy admiral wants to join our weapons company, I will naturally welcome him with both hands.
However, our weapons company system is somewhat special. After all, although we are also pirates, we have always focused on doing business and rarely fight or kill others.
So strength and other things are secondary to us. What we want is experience and qualifications. Qingji... How is Mr. Kuzan's eloquence?"
Hearing that Wood believed in him so easily and readily agreed to join, Aoki was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head in confusion after hearing Wood's question clearly.
Although he is a naval admiral, due to his personality, he is a taciturn type. Not to mention being eloquent, there are very few daily exchanges between friends.
"You can't do the job of sales promotion. After all, this job requires your eloquence quite a bit.
I wonder if Mr. Kuzan has any research talents, such as making cannons or something?"
Qing Pheasant: "(°_°), I am a naval admiral, not a scientist, nor a blacksmith!"
"Does Mr. Kuzan know much about weapons? Or how about his swimming skills?"
Qingzhi was speechless. If he hadn't come here to seek refuge now, and because of his aloof personality, he would have wanted to give Wood in front of him a big mouth right now.
He is a naval admiral who knows a lot about hammer weapons. As the highest combat power in his department, he is the strongest weapon in his own right.
As for swimming skills... Looking at the entire sea, if you are awesome, find me a devil fruit user who is an expert swimmer and take a look.
"That's really going to be a bit difficult. Mr. Kuzan, you are not good at eloquence and cannot be a cadre of the sales department.
He doesn’t understand weapons research and development, he doesn’t even know much about weapons, and he can’t be a cadre of the Technology Development Department.
In terms of swimming... our transportation department is all in charge of the merfolk. After all, some sea areas are quite difficult for ships to pass through, so we have to rely on the strength of the merfolk and murlocs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although humans are definitely not comparable to the fish-men in terms of swimming skills, based on my reputation, there is no problem in letting you become a transportation cadre.
But you are a landlubber, so I am afraid that the fishmen and mermaid sisters will not be convinced and you will lead them."
At first, Aokiji thought Wood was just trying to make fun of him by asking him these questions, but it wasn't until Wood said these words that Aokiji realized that the other party was really trying to help him find a suitable position.
But after knowing the truth, Aokiji felt even more sad. He thought that after he retired, he was a naval admiral, but he was not even comparable to a mere murloc in Wood's weapons company...
"Although I don't know what you said, I am still quite confident in my own strength.
Although one leg is missing, your cargo will be safer if I escort it."
His mission is to penetrate into the enemy and gain Wood's trust as quickly as possible. If he can become a cadre, he will naturally learn more core secrets.
Originally, Aokiji thought that as long as he was accepted, as a former navy admiral, even if he was missing a leg, he would still be a high-ranking cadre no matter which force he went to.
But it wasn't until he arrived at Dark Island that Aoki discovered that Wood's weapons company didn't seem to be like this.
Although he was the most powerful person in the former navy headquarters, he didn't seem to receive much attention here. Even for the mission, Aokiji felt that he had to strive for a high enough starting point, so he took the initiative to speak at this moment.
"But the responsibility for transportation safety has always been arranged by Russ and the others. After all, he is also one of our elders.
Moreover, as long as our goods carry the flag of the weapons company, our friends at sea will give us some credit, and there have been no problems for so many years."
Russ, a former navy captain, is now the vice-captain of the Nirvana Pirates, the third-in-command of Wood Arms Company, and has the form of an animal-type Dragon Dragon Fruit, an ancient species, and a Mosasaurus.
After the Battle of the Top, Russ's performance against the Beast Pirates Fire Disaster and Plague Quinn with one against two forces also caused his bounty to skyrocket to 1.2 billion Beli.
Although he is a former navy admiral, he wanted to take over the job of deputy captain when he first came here. Qingzhi also felt that it was a bit unrealistic, so he could only continue to ask: "Are there no other positions that require strong people?
?”
Qingzhi never dreamed that the competition for jobs would be so fierce now. He was once the CEO of one of the top three companies in the sea, but now he had moved to another company, and he couldn't even apply for a department manager.
"Other jobs, for the time being, only require some odd jobs, that is to say, ordinary crew members or employees.
Mr. Kuzan is a former navy admiral. If you can't even become a cadre, it would be too unfair for you. Why don't you go to other pirate groups and ask?
With Mr. Kuzan's conditions, it shouldn't be a big problem if he joins the Big Mom Pirates to be the new Three Dessert General, or the Beast Pirates to be the new Three Disasters, right?"
Wood felt a little embarrassed to have a former navy admiral as his younger brother Ma Zai, so at the moment he could only express tactfully that they had limited positions here and hoped Qing Pheasant would try to find a job elsewhere.
"It's okay. Since I don't understand anything, let's learn from the beginning. Just let me join your weapons company."
Aokiji really tried his best. If Wood had rejected him from the beginning, he wouldn't be so persistent. But now that he has the opportunity to successfully infiltrate Wood's influence, Aokiji will not give up this opportunity easily.
In order to protect the ordinary people on the sea, what does it mean to be a mere pirate boy? Didn't Aokiji himself step by step from a recruit to a navy admiral?
Hearing what Qing Pheasant said, Wood was also stunned. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was trying to embarrass Qing Pheasant, hoping that the other party would retreat in spite of the difficulties.
However, Wood did not expect that Qingzhi was so tough-minded that he was a former admiral of the navy who was now willing to be a younger brother and was determined not to leave.
Obviously he is also an undercover agent of the navy, but the uninformed Qingzhi obviously regards him as a dangerous person and is ready to fight him to the death!
Wood is now a big shot in the sea after all, and he kept saying that what businessmen pay attention to is trustworthiness. He agreed to it before, but now he regrets it, which seems to be a slap in the face.
So after hesitating for a moment, Wood could only speak again: "Since Mr. Kuzan thinks so highly of our weapons company, then just stay.
As for work, I think it would be better for you to learn from Robin first.
After all, whether it is eloquence, business or financial management, Robin is the leader of our weapons company.
Since you said you want to learn from the beginning, it would be best to follow her. After all, her hobbies also include training... ahem, cultivating new people."
Qingzhi insisted on staying, and he had indeed agreed to the other party before, so Wood had no choice but to make this move.
If it were Robin, Wood believed that she would be able to grasp the situation appropriately, and besides her strength, Wood also didn't believe that Aokiji, a horse-faced sleeper, could outplay the super-scheming Robin.
"Let me work under Nico Robin? This is really..., if possible, can you let me study under other cadres..."
Although he was mentally prepared to be his younger brother, when he heard that he was going to study under Nico Robin, the son of the devil, Aokiji still showed a tangled look on his face.
As we all know, because of O'Hara's incident, Robin and Aokiji have a huge personal grudge.
Forget it for others, if you let yourself work under Nico Robin, let alone stand out as soon as possible, it would be nice if the other party doesn't try to kill you!
"Mr. Kuzan, I am beginning to doubt your previous determination and attitude.
This won't work, that won't work either. You can't always be immersed in the glory of being an admiral in the navy. Now you are an unemployed vagrant and a disabled person. It would be great if you can find a job.
I have very considerately arranged for you the best boss on our island. If you continue to be picky, you can’t blame me for not taking you in."
After hearing what Wood said, even a good old man like Qing Zhi was so angry that his face turned red and white.
He's a jobless vagrant, he's a disabled person, even if he's missing one leg, he can still kill ninety-nine percent of the people in the sea instantly.
But when it comes to Wood, he has become a disabled person who has difficulty finding a job?
"Okay, I can work under Nico Robin, but you have to ensure that she won't treat me differently!"
Qingzhi wanted to throw away his face and leave directly, but when he thought of the arduous task he was shouldering, his dream of protecting ordinary people on the sea, and exposing Wood's true purpose and conspiracy, Qingzhi gritted his teeth and finally decided
Bear the humiliation and bear the burden!
Anyway, even if Nico Robin is different now, he is definitely not her opponent in terms of strength. As for some minor humiliations and making things difficult, Aokiji has also decided to tolerate it!
