While thinking, Gawain continued to speak to the thoughtful Akainu.
"In some ways, Kuzan is much worse than you.
Sakaski, you are probably the most qualified soldier in the Navy.
The only general who did not put personal feelings above military orders!"
Having said this, Gawain picked up a cigarette, holding the cigarette in his mouth, and then gently rubbed it with his right thumb and index finger, letting the overflowing current ignite the cigarette.
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Gawain continued.
"From a superior's perspective, you are the best in the Navy, Sakaski.
But the corresponding one is...
When you look at everything from a civilian's perspective, you are the most terrifying general in the navy.
But fortunately, although I agree with the thoughts of each of you and Kuzan, when I stand on my height, I need more people like you in the Navy!"
After he finished speaking, Gawain took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and threw the cigarette into Akainu's hand.
"You should know how to smoke, right? Come on, have one. Think of it as a thank you gift from me for coming to the aid of Golden Town."
"Thank you Gao Wensheng!"
Akainu put the cigarette into his mouth with a sullen face, and gently lit it with his finger that turned into lava. At the same time, Gawain continued.
"Before, Kuzan asked me if I would support him when he needed it.
I didn't give any indication on the spot.
But now, although you didn't ask me similar questions, I will tell you that I will take time to support you.
In your moment of need!”
After saying that, Gawain let out a long breath of smoke, and then set his eyes on Akainu.
As for Akainu, he spoke to Gawain with a determined face.
"Gao Wensheng, actually you should know that what I want is not the support you mentioned. If I lose something, I will fight it back with my fists.
If I can't beat it, I will accept failure quietly!
What I really need is a voice from above like you that gives me affirmation of my behavior!
What I really need is another kind of support from a being like you!"
Having said this, Akainu said with a sullen face and angrily.
"In recent years, pirates have emerged one after another, but that is not what I am most concerned about!
What I am most concerned about is the rot within the Navy!
Although I have been staying in the headquarters, I know very well how rotten the branches all over the world are!
Almost every one of those rubbish who occupy the position of commander of the Sihai branch cannot even defeat a mere major or even captain who goes out from the headquarters!
At the same time, there are fewer and fewer bounty orders from all over the world, and more and more pirates are not asking for bounties until they enter the Grand Line. The navy of the Grand Line branch!
In contrast, the situation of corpses in the Sihai branch is becoming more and more serious. The navy really needs an almost complete overhaul!
I have made this request to Marshal of the Warring States Period. I hope that I can directly change the positions of the ministers of each branch in the Four Seas, and even replace them all with new people trained by the headquarters in recent years!
But whenever I raised this matter, Marshal of the Warring States Period rejected me on the grounds that this would alienate all branches of the navy from all over the world!
However, we are a navy that carries justice. Do we need to consider whether soldiers are disengaged?
If someone becomes disengaged due to a transfer from the headquarters, the worst possible outcome will be a complete overhaul of the entire navy!
Because the Navy can be easily separated from others, they are not worthy of bearing the word justice!
In that case, they might as well become pirates and die in my hands!
Their existence can only make the atmosphere within the navy even worse!"
Akainu took the cigarette out of his mouth and put it out, and then he bowed to Gawain deeply.
"So, sir, as long as I have a chance to implement my ideas about the navy, it no longer matters whether I can become a marshal or not!
I am very pleased to know that you are willing to support my decision here, but the support I really need is not to support me sitting in the marshal's office!
What I need is that you can support me in one or two world conscriptions!
The unhealthy tendencies within the navy can only be completely improved after one or two major blood changes. If you want to continue to suppress or even destroy the pirates, the current soldiers are not enough!
Except for the navy of the headquarters, even the East China Sea cannot maintain the purity of the naval branch. It is the hometown of heroes, but even if I have not been to the East China Sea for a long time, I know what kind of collusion between soldiers and thieves there will be!
Therefore, my lord, I will put forward this view at the upcoming meeting of the world's fifty major alliances next year.
That's when I need your support, and I sincerely hope to get your support!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Akainu solemnly bowed to Gawain in the earth-seat posture again.
And Gawain…….
Looking at the prostrated Akainu, he frowned and thought for a while.
After a moment, Gawain nodded gently.
"I think I can support your decision at that time, but after all, I am not a five-year-old star.
My support may have some effect, but it may not necessarily make you successful!"
Having said this, Gawain lightly tapped his thigh with his finger.
"As a naval admiral yourself, you should know that if the navy's conduct of global recruitment is seen by people around the world, they will not think about issues such as whether there is decay and corruption within the navy.
They will only feel that the power of the navy is no longer enough to suppress the pirates, so the navy will pin its hopes on world recruitment!
Obviously we don't think so, but they just think we do, and this will send a dangerous signal to countries around the world!
They may feel that the world government has declined!
Therefore, if there are no special circumstances, then Wulaoxing will probably not agree with your decision!
The unprovoked global military conscription has a huge impact.
And if you want to succeed, it’s not enough to have my support, you need a prerequisite that makes the whole world think that the navy should be a matter of course and that we should conduct a global conscription!"
After the words fell, Gawain looked at Akainu silently, and Akainu nodded thoughtfully.
"Indeed, the Navy should always maintain a transcendent status in the eyes of the world!
Only in this way can the navy become a tool to deter and prevent young people from going to sea!
But even if it cannot be approved, I will definitely put forward my plan and opinions!
As for the conditions, if they don’t exist, then I will try my best to create them!”
As he spoke, Akainu suddenly stood up from the ground!
I saw him giving a military salute to Gawain at the end, and then he said it seriously.
"In short, my request has been made. No matter how you respond to it, I will obey the orders from you and the World Government!
As for now….
I didn't get the information that Shanks had infiltrated back to the Grand Line before, so I didn't have time to react.
But now that I have met Shanks, I will never let him return to the new world easily!
Although he has received your temporary asylum, I am willing to obey your order and temporarily allow him to leave Hong Kong for a period of time early.
But letting him go first for so long is my limit. After all, I am a navy, and I am just a navy!
And isn’t it natural for the navy to pursue pirates?”
Having said this, Akainu nodded to Gawain.
"So, please allow me to say goodbye to you, I'm going to hunt down Shanks and his party!
Let him travel back and forth on the Grand Line with great arrogance. The negative impact on the reputation of the navy will be too great!
Finally, I wish you always good luck, Gao Wensheng!"
After saying that, Akainu quietly waited for Gawain's order, and Gawain glanced at the suckling pig in the distance.
"Since Shanks is determined to sneak back to the Grand Line, he has already thought of what he will face. Just do what you should do, Sakaski.
But no matter what, when the suckling pig is already on the grill, you can’t leave without eating even a piece of meat!”
Having said this, Gao Wenmeng pressed his palms to the ground. At the same time, fine lightning spread out in a ring with him as the center!
Immediately afterwards, the swords of everyone present swung slightly, and every swordsman, including Gion, put their hands on their swords to control their respective swords.
The next moment, countless metal particles poured out of the soil around everyone.
The thick current wrapped around those particles, directly melting the metal particles into hot red slurry. The metal solution gradually gathered together, and then slowly floated to the bottom of the suckling pig!
Suddenly, the high temperature of the metal solution caused the suckling pig's maturation progress to soar. At the same time, Rayleigh not far away showed an expression of appreciation.
"Tsk tsk, Captain Gawain, if we hadn't known that you ate the Thunder Fruit, we would probably have thought that you ate the Magnetic Fruit, or the Reheat Fruit!
It's only been a few days, but your application of the fruit has already reached a level that I can't understand!
Speaking of thunder, shouldn’t it be controlled by thunder and lightning?
Thunderbirds, Thunder Dragons, Thunder Gods, etc. are all thunder and lightning, right?
But apart from using thunder and lightning when you are on the road and lighting up a cigarette, what you use at other times has almost nothing to do with thunder and lightning?
What kind of thunderous fruit is this!"
After the words fell, Rayleigh shook his head with emotion. He took off his glasses and wiped them with confusion.
At the same time, Akainu suddenly thought of something. He looked at Rayleigh fiercely and said to Gawain at the same time.
"By the way, Gao Wensheng, I have one more thing to say.
In other words, I mainly plan to mention this matter to Rayleigh!"
Having said this, Akainu turned to Rayleigh.
"Pluto Rayleigh, since you are no longer a pirate, you should completely forget your sinful past!
He still carries the name of pirate and walks on the sea, and even rides Gao Wensheng's ship as a pirate!
Such a phenomenon will only make more people yearn for the identity of a pirate because of your existence!
So, Rayleigh, I hope you can recognize who you are now, and then make a complete separation between your present and your past as a pirate as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Akainu frowned and glared at Rayleigh.
As for Rayleigh, he took a deep breath.
He ignored Akainu, but he turned around and said to Gawain.
"Captain Gawain, I did have some thoughts about what Sakaski said!
My thoughts and deeds have long separated me from my identity as a pirate, so now, should I really give myself a new identity?
I feel that the identity of Shichibukai is very suitable for me. Maybe I can kill one of the existing Shichibukai and replace him with the name of Shichibukai.
In this case, I will also be helpful to your decision to master the Shichibukai!"
After the words fell, Lei Li took his glasses back leisurely, while Gawain thought for a moment and shook his head.
I saw Gawain speaking directly to Akainu.
"Sakaski, the identity of Mr. Reilly is also an existence that I have always acquiesced to.
You and I are different. You are a navy, so you and pirates are at odds with each other.
But I am a world noble, so I need to give the world a signal, whether it is pirates, navy, Shichibukai, or the revolutionary army.
As long as their hearts turn to me, they can all become my companions, subordinates and subjects.
You may have also seen that the personnel on my ship are quite diverse. This personnel structure can bring enough signals to everyone who knows my team.
When I say this, do you understand? Not only does Mr. Lei Li’s identity not need to be changed, I even have to take the time to increase his bounty!”
Having said this, Gawain actually thought about it, and then he said it directly to Akainu.
"I'll just leave it to you here. When you see Warring States again, tell him for me to increase the bounty for Rayleigh.
Mr. Lei Li, how much bounty did you offer?"
"Why?"
Hearing this, Rayleigh and everyone were stunned. Rayleigh was at a loss for a while, and then he responded to Gawain in a funny way.
"My bounty back then was 1,986,260,000 Baileys, which is already the highest value among all the vice-captains of the pirate group.
Little Gawain, what you said can't be true, can it?
Can I still keep going up?!
"
"Haha, what can't be increased?"
Gawain nodded simply. He thought for a moment and then asked Akainu.
"Sakaski, Shanks currently has a bounty of about 4 billion, right?"
"This... indeed, Red-haired Shanks' bounty is 4,489,000 Baileys!"
Hearing Akainu's words, Gawain simply clapped his hands.
"That's just right, let's raise it to four billion for Mr. Rayleigh, so that the legend of the pirates in the past can once again shine on the sea!
In this way, many young pirates will surely regard Rayleigh as the benchmark in the industry again, and then they will be interested in joining our Blackbird!"
Having said this, Gao Wen said to Akainu earnestly.
"We are different, Sakaski.
You just need to figure out who your enemy is.
But I need to decide who my enemy is.
So you don't need to consider the number of enemies, but I have to consider how to make more enemies directly become my strength.
You kill your enemies from a physical point of view, but I do it more politically.
Therefore, I can always understand you and am willing to bring your perspective to consider the problem for you.
How about you try your best to think about it for me?"
"this……?!
"
Listening to Gawain's words, even with Akainu's character, he felt a little frightened.
For a moment, Akainu had only one thought in his mind, if all the Five Old Stars and the World Government were leaders like Gawain.
Then why would Sakaski die?
!
In his excitement, Akainu knelt down on one knee and bowed to Gawain.
"Gao Wensheng, I can understand your decision. From now on, I will never ask about identity issues like Rayleigh again!
If you have any order, even if it goes against my justice, I will never hesitate in the slightest, because it is absolutely in line with your justice, and your justice is far broader than mine!"
On the side, looking at Akainu's solemn look, Gawain smiled and waved his hand.
"You're welcome, haha, get up quickly, the suckling pig is almost healed.
Make the first cut with a smile, eat two pieces of barbecue, and then leave, that’s it!”
While speaking, Gawain patted Yixiao's arm, and Yixiao nodded and stood up and came to the side of the suckling pig.
With a wave of his gravity knife, the suckling pig was immediately divided into countless even parts.
Whether it’s pork legs or pork ribs, every part is divided evenly!
Then, Yixiao took a rib by himself, and at the same time he handed a piece of leg meat to Sakaski.
The two of them were not polite at all and just took a big sip.
result…….
Their honored expressions suddenly stagnated!
After a moment, he looked at Gawain with a confused look on his face.
"Sir, did we forget to add salt?"
"ha?"
Gawain was stunned. He looked around and asked speechlessly.
"Didn't anyone season the pork?"
"He, I forgot!"
A sudden realization dawned on Jinbei, and he quickly ran to the Blackbird to find some seasoning.
At the same time, looking at Jinbei running away, Gion swallowed hard.
"grown ups!"
I saw Gion specifically emphasize to Gawain.
"I'm afraid we really need a good cook, at least he should be able to add seasonings!
