There was no arrogance or dominance like the other Shichibukai when they arrived at the Navy Headquarters. Victor was more like an ordinary tourist who came to the Navy Headquarters to enjoy the scenery.
"Mr. Victor, are you planning to take a special passenger ship directly from the headquarters to the Holy Land Marie Joa?" Colonel Waldo, who was accompanying him, asked.
"Am I the last one?" Victor looked around the military port. He was really curious about this famous place in the One Piece comics.
"No, 'Pirate Empress' Boya Hancock and 'Hawkeye' Julokiel Mihawk have not arrived yet."
"Forget it, let's go directly to Marigio." Victor had no interest in these two Shichibukai.
"Okay, please wait a moment. I'm going to apply for a special passenger ship." Colonel Waldo nodded and left quickly.
Victor, on the other hand, put his hands in his pockets and wandered around the military port very leisurely.
The military port of the Navy Headquarters is in the shape of a crescent. Once you step into the military port and walk up, you will find Bayfront Plaza directly in front of you. In the past, there were always many tourists and reporters here, but these days it is extremely quiet. Even family members of the navy are not allowed to enter.
Come to Bayside Square. At the west end of the square is the famous [Ox Bell]. This big bell is a sacred bell taken from the legendary warship [Ox Rhodes] that was active a long time ago. Whenever the old
At the end of one year and the beginning of the new year, the bell will be rung eight times to express gratitude for the past year and eight more times to pray for the new year. A total of 16 times. This is the custom of the navy and what people often mention.
and [16 o'clock].
The interior style of the Navy Headquarters is similar to the Japanese-style style in Victor's dream. Japanese-style furniture such as tatami, wooden sliding doors, translucent camphor paper, etc. form a simple shape line and a calm and simple color style.
Compared with the southern European style Xihai, it has a unique charm.
This decoration style looks pretty good. After I go back, I will find two rooms in the Ark of Passion with this interior style and try it out.
Just as Victor was slowly admiring the scenery, a disturbing sound interrupted his thoughts.
"Are you Mafia Victor? You don't seem to have much ability." His voice was thick and full of doubt.
Victor turned his head and looked, and saw a tall naval officer standing not far away. He had silver hair combed back, wearing an open jacket with the word 'Justice' written on the back, and goggles hanging around his neck.
His expression looked quite ferocious, with two cigars in his mouth and a long-handled juju behind his back. The navy around him tried to dissuade the man tremblingly, but they were all shot away by him.
"...'White Hunter' Smoker." Victor raised his eyebrows slightly: "I have heard about your deeds."
"Should I feel honored that the noble Lord Shichibukai can call me by my name?" Smoker took a big puff of his cigar, and then puffed out two puffs of smoke from his nostrils with disdain.
"I heard that although 'White Hunter' Smoker was still relatively young, he relied on his strong personal strength to kill pirates who committed evil deeds one after another." Victor put his hands in his pockets and said easily: "People say that in fact, your strength and
With merit, you can be promoted to colonel or even brigadier general, but you are willing to stay at the rank of lieutenant colonel. Can you tell me why?"
"[Status] is a thing that is useful enough. But a guy like you who has sharpened his head just to get into the position of Shichibukai probably won't understand this truth." Smoker seemed to be full of victor.
There is hostility, and every word in his words is thorny.
Victor was not angry, he just shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly: "Ha... if you want to implement your beliefs, [status] is exactly an indispensable part."
Smoker found that no matter how much he tried to provoke Victor with words, the other party would not get angry, let alone get angry and take action. In this way, his plan of 'legitimate counterattack' would not work. He gritted his teeth and was about to say something.
But he was stopped by a stern roar.
"Lieutenant Colonel Smoker! What are you doing!?"
A lanky old man wearing round glasses and a beard tied into braids strode over. The white cloak behind him had the word "Justice" printed in blue.
The person who came was none other than one of the navy generals, known as the ‘Wise General’ from the Warring States Period of Buddha.
"Tsk... General of the Warring States Period..." Smoker, the 'White Hunter', put his hands in his pockets and tried to sneak away with a look of displeasure on his face. However, he was grabbed by the General of the Warring States Period and scolded him. Smoker was sprayed with anger.
Xingzi didn't dare to raise his hands to wipe his face with foam, so he could only deal with it by nodding his head, and then turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared in the direction of the military port leading to the headquarters.
"This is our first real meeting, General Sengoku." After Sengoku finished scolding Smoker, Victor took the initiative to step forward and extended his hand, smiling gently: "Thank you for the previous [Phone Bug Conference].
Please persuade Mr. Sakaski for me, otherwise he will definitely not give me the detailed information about Zhan Nian Dao and others."
"Thank you, Mr. Victor." Sengoku still had a good impression of the moderate Shichibukai like Victor and Jinbei. He took Victor's extended hand and shook it vigorously: "I also want to thank you for protecting the Shichibukai."
The residents of the Water City were saved from being massacred by pirates.”
"As long as they are present, anyone who has the [power] to prevent this tragedy from happening will not sit idly by and ignore it, right?" Victor's words seemed to be watertight.
In fact, Victor has always had doubts about Sengoku's military rank and age at this time. It has only been 8 years since the comic plot began. Why has Sengoku not been promoted to the position of Navy Marshal until now? I heard that the current Navy Marshal is still Cyborg Kong. Again
Looking at the three generals in the future, they are all at the level of lieutenant general, and at most they are candidates for general. It can only be said that what happened in the past 8 years is far from that simple.
"Colonel Waldo has applied for a special passenger ship for you. If you take this ship, you can go to the Holy Land Marigio without any hindrance." The Warring States General said cheerfully: "The ship is in place and can be used at any time..."
"Notice! [The King's Shichibukai] Mr. Jurokiel Mihawk has arrived!"
The announcer's voice spread through the loudspeaker throughout the military port. Warring States and Victor also stopped talking and looked towards the military port pier.
"That is the world's strongest swordsman..." Victor's eyes lit up and his tone was no longer indifferent: "'Eagle Eye' Julokiel Mihawk!"
A well-proportioned man was walking towards Victor in a hurry. He was wearing a black hat with white fluff on his head, a burgundy patterned top, a black sleeveless windbreaker and white trousers. He could vaguely see through the brim of the hat.
It can be seen that his short black hair is spread back and he has a short beard. He is carrying the famous "World's Strongest Black Sword-Ye" behind his back. The hilt of the sword is as exaggerated and huge as a cross. The most eye-catching thing is
Nothing is better than his eyes, with golden pupils as sharp as eagles.
Not long after, Hawkeye approached Sengoku and Victor, and then stood still.
The Warring States General frowned and said: "Hawkeye, do you know that the government almost deprived you of your title of Shichibukai!"
"Anything like that boring thing is fine..." 'Eagle Eye' Juluojie Mihawk's voice was low and full of magnetism, his indifference and indifference were evident in his words: "I just stopped by to take a look, that's all."
After saying that, the eagle-eyed gaze turned to Victor, and Victor could even feel the sharpness of the other person's gaze, as if there was a knife cutting wherever he looked.
"The man in the rumors...does have two brushes." Hawkeye tilted his head slightly, showing an interested expression:
