Not long after, Sengoku and He walked in from the side door, followed by several lieutenants holding documents.
Looking at the almost half-empty conference room, Seng Guo then asked as a greeting.
"Yes, Marshal."
"Then let the meeting begin!"
Warring States sat at the head of the table, and several adjutants behind him handed out the documents.
After a while, Warring States looked at all the generals in the conference room and said, "Let's talk about it! What do you think about this matter?"
"Ka...ka..."
Below, Garp was eating donuts nonchalantly, without any awareness of his status as a lieutenant general.
"Oh! It's really scary. Are you trying to endorse a group of lawless pirates?"
Putting down the documents in his hands, Porusalino was still so carefree, even though he had already known about the plan of the King's Shichibukai.
"His Majesty's Shichibukai plan, do the Five Old Stars know the pros and cons of it?"
"This plan is what Wulaoxing wants us to implement."
"With the establishment of the Five Emperors of the New World, coupled with the surge of pirates in the sea, as well as the crazy development of the revolutionary army, the underground world and other forces, the Holy Land attaches great importance to it. Therefore, for the balance of the sea, the plan of the Shichibukai must be
Implementation.
There are many famous pirates on the sea now, and we will use a pirate's status, strength, and influence as a reference to recruit them to join the plan of the King's Shichibukai."
"But the conditions given above are too rich!"
It is not difficult for a lieutenant general to see that as long as this plan is implemented, the navy will be greatly affected.
As long as he becomes the king of Shichibukai, he can move freely in peacetime without any interference from the government, and the original wanted order will be revoked. Not only will he not pursue the crimes he committed before, he will also tacitly engage in privateering, and he will even agree to some individual requests.
.
The Shichibukai's duty is actually to deter and combat ordinary pirates. When necessary, they must accept the mandatory summons from the World Government and pay a certain amount of wealth to the government.
No matter how you look at it, there is some inconsistency, but if you study deeper, you will find that the World Government's move has a certain profound meaning.
Generally speaking, the two parties only have a cooperative relationship and are mutually beneficial.
"Since it is the order of the Five Old Stars, then our navy should implement it!" Sakaski, who had been looking paralyzed, said, attracting the attention of many people.
Foxy looked at Sakaski with a playful look on his face. You must know that this guy hates pirates the most and will resolutely fight against crime even if it affects civilians. Strictly speaking, Sakaski's extreme justice should be the first.
It's only right to object, but now it seems a little unexpected.
The first one, Sengoku, showed no expression and just glanced at Sakaski.
"Let's discuss the candidates for the Shichibukai!"
He opened his mouth to break the somewhat delicate atmosphere.
For a time, the expressions of the entire navy in the conference room were mixed. Especially for some jealous navy, this plan was unacceptable.
But they couldn't resist.
Everyone knows that the world is getting more and more chaotic.
If pirates are used to control pirates, what is the use of the navy? This makes the world think about the navy. The most speechless thing is that the navy is required to recognize the legitimate behavior of the Shichibukai. This is a bit ironic.
So the atmosphere was a bit scary and depressing, very heavy, making it difficult to breathe.
"Joracor Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman, nicknamed Hawkeye, has a bounty of 480 million..."
"Bartholome Bear, nicknamed the Tyrant, has a reward of 290 million..."
"Boya Hancock, nicknamed the Empress, has a reward of 80 million..."
"Sha Crocodile, nicknamed Sand Crocodile, has a reward of 80 million..."
"Jinbei, nicknamed Kai Xia, has a reward of 250 million..."
"Moonlight Moria, nicknamed Shadow, has a reward of 320 million..."
"Magic pitcher Landis has a reward of 910 million..."
"Nightmare Giant, 887 million..."
"Insect Master Gusato, eight hundred and ninety-eight million..."
"..."
Many naval generals looked at the documents in their hands. They were all full of information about various pirates, basically some big names.
"The pirates here are all candidates for the Shichibukai who have been selected after many layers of screening!"
Warring States took a sip of coffee and said.
Foxy looked at the list, and there were at least thirty great pirates who wanted to be famous.
At first Foxy thought that the Shichibukai under the King had directly selected Mihawk and others? It turned out that they had to go through layers of screening.
"Isn't the gap between these bounties too big?"
Karp picked his nose and made an opinion that was not an opinion.
"This is something we have carefully considered, and the bounty does not mean everything."
"It's up to you! Only you can solve this kind of brainstorming thing."
Curling his lips, Garp's words made He roll his eyes.
"Let me explain, in fact, the candidates for the Shichibukai are not randomly selected. For example, Jinbei Kaikai, the world government is to promote racial harmony and allow both sides to develop in a balanced way; and Boya Hancock, she is the
The Emperor of Snake Island..."
Crane attracts everyone's attention and explains again.
Obviously, being the King's Shichibukai is not just about being strong, but also requires some other conditions.
"Does anyone have any suggestions?" He asked after explaining.
"I think we can publish the system and list of the King's Shichibukai and let these pirates choose for themselves. The winner will be the King's Shichibukai. This will make the pirates dog eat dog."
A lieutenant general made suggestions.
"This suggestion is very good. Only the pirates on the list are eligible to run for the King's Shichibukai. If you want to become the King's Shichibukai, you need to defeat the pirates on the list. This will make the pirates kill each other."
"Then let's do it!"
The Warring States Period finally decided that since the system of King Shichibukai was destined to be implemented and destined to embarrass the navy, it was better to maximize the benefits.
If you can kill a big pirate, you've earned it.
After all, the Navy is just a matter of lip service by publishing a list.
The next day, the navy released the list of Shichibukai regimes under the king, which suddenly caused a stir.
"Excuse me! Excuse me, the Navy has announced a big news. Seven great pirates will be recruited to form the King's Shichibukai."
"The navy will recognize the legality of the plunder of the Shichibukai."
"As long as I become the king, Shichibukai will cancel the reward order."
"A total of 33 great pirates were announced on the list."
"Could this be a Navy conspiracy?"
The news spread across the sea and immediately became a hot topic at the moment.
"Is it true? As long as you become King Shichibukai, you will cancel the wanted order and recognize the legality of plunder, which means you are no longer afraid of the navy?"
"Hmph, isn't becoming the King's Shichibukai just like becoming a lackey of the navy?"
"Only the weak will become lackeys of the Navy."
"Reject the navy directly, saying that I can't afford to lose that person."
"A mere Shichibukai wants me to be a dog for the navy. You're overthinking it!"
"Captain, you are also on the list."
"What? Let me attack the naval base and show the navy with my actions that I won't be a dog."
"Refuse it directly and warn me about the navy. What kind of bullshit, King Shichibukai, wants to conquer me."
"...."
In the following period, the situation became more and more intense, and many pirates on the list issued statements or refused with actual actions.
In addition to these pirates who refused, there are also many pirates who want to become the Shichibukai. In short, the situation is polarized.
