Chapter 160 The Three Troubles of the Navy and the Five Kings!
The simplicity of negotiating with Major General Fina far exceeded Porusalino's expectations - the other party happily took An over without asking a single word about the little guy's life experience and origins. She even winked at Porusalino playfully and said with a smile: "This little guy is your nominal adopted daughter. Is that also my adopted daughter?"
Straight man Porusalino admits he was flirted with.
But he couldn't figure out why Major General Fina reacted like this - it stands to reason that no matter how generous a woman is, she would go to see a man with whom she has a close relationship suddenly give her a baby, saying that it is his adopted daughter. Ask about the origin of this baby. This is not a question of trust or distrust, but the basic thinking logic of a normal person...
Of course, if he didn’t understand something clearly, Porusalino wouldn’t take the initiative to ask. In fact, Porusalino couldn't figure out why Major General Fina had this reaction, which was normal, because it could only be explained by the misunderstanding of beauty and the fact that men and women are different species - in Major General Fina's eyes, Polusalino has always been a strong man with a serious heart and a kind heart, although his appearance is irregular and his behavior is careless. It is precisely this trait that attracts her.
As soon as she saw Porusalino's troubled expression, she instantly figured out in her head that Poroussalino was too kind-hearted, so he couldn't help but adopt the abandoned baby after Robin, and returned to I'm afraid that I won't accept the plot after this part...
Major General Fina would never have thought that Ann’s origin would be an advertisement sent by Porusalino to Roger...
Of course, the reason why Major General Fina accepted Robin and An so quickly was because they were both cute. Even for ordinary people, the facial features can change their outlook to a certain extent, let alone women who are very emotional and prone to overflowing with motherhood.
She even took the initiative to suggest that the two of them take Ann and little Robin to visit Sakaski's subordinates and friends, the Jonathan family - the hostess of this family, Jessica, is also Porusalino's The head chef on the flagship "Moyu".
"The food in the navy canteen is indeed good, and the portions and nutritional mix are very reasonable, but little Robin has been malnourished for such a long time, and An is just one month old..."
"I understand, let's ask Jessica to help little Robin get some proper conditioning, and then ask her for advice on how to take care of the baby, right?"
"That's what I mean, Colonel~"
Major General Fina winked playfully.
"Then take Robin and Ann there first, Fina,"
Porusalino unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, "I'm going to call brother Sakaski and have two drinks tonight... I have made a unilateral decision to let him be An's adoptive father. !”
"After all, how can a cute little girl like An not have a strong and trustworthy adoptive father?"
"That's right. Colonel, although you are very powerful, you are... well, forget it."
"Hey, what do you mean by this, Fina! Please explain it to me clearly!"
…
As the common idol of almost 90% of sailors in the Navy, Sakaski truly has a high sense of identification with the identity of a sailor. This sense of identity is not only shown every time he performs a mission to exterminate pirates, but also in his private time outside of work - for example, now, it is clear that the fish monster Polusali Nuo had already clocked out for almost an hour, but he was still in his office.
However, today, Sakaski did not use his time after work to "recharge" himself with pirate knowledge as he did in the past. Instead, he and his junior and colleague, Kuzan, who has been promoted to Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, It was quite outrageous to have a heated argument.
"You didn't go all out at all! Kuzan! It's just a former major general who defected from the navy and betrayed the righteous man. How can he defeat you? And then rescue the giant Lieutenant General Sauro from your hands who is also a traitor to the navy. ?Do not make jokes!"
"Ah, you are right! Monkey D. Dragon, the son of Lieutenant General Garp, who, like us, was once a training target for the World Government's highest combat power, is just an ordinary rear admiral who defected from the navy... ...As expected of Senior Sakaski, known as the 'Walking Humanoid Natural Disaster', his strength and speech are really terrifying! Maybe I should praise you like 'Senior Porusalino'?"
"Pay attention to your words! Kuzan! What I am discussing with you now is your attitude! Your heart of justice has been shaken! No matter how powerful the traitor Long is, he can only fight with you at most. It’s just that he has the upper hand, but he wants to take away the traitor from the giant race, and he will never be able to do it without you deliberately holding back!”
"Heart of justice? Sakaski, your heart of justice is to bombard all civilians in Ohara, right? If it hadn't been for Senior Porusalino's deliberate warning at the end, you would never let any Ohara go so easily. Get people out of there alive!"
"If you want to carry out absolute justice, sacrifice is inevitable! Also, don't change the subject, Kuzan!"
…
"Both of them... how long have they been like this?"
Outside the door of Sakaski's office, Porusalino asked the ghost spider in charge of the door rather speechlessly - as the commander-in-chief of O'Hara's demon-slaying order, Sakaski was in charge of this operation. Afterwards, a mission summary must be submitted to the Warring States Marshal, and Kuzan, as the key executor, must report to him.
Although Porusalino had long expected that the two would have a quarrel, he did not expect that it would be today and that it would be so intense.
(It seems that the two of them have great opinions...)
"There are still three minutes left to make up half an hour."
Ghost Spider shrugged and replied, feeling a little helpless.
"Tsk...Leave it to me to handle it. Ghost Spider, just go back and eat first. Thank you for your hard work."
"…Okay, trouble."
Although the ghost spider hesitated, he finally nodded and followed Porusalino's arrangement and left.
After the ghost spider left, Porusalino paused for a few seconds to give the two people in the office a buffer time, and then opened the door with a smile on his face:
"Hey! Do you want to go have a drink and have a meal together?"
"Or should I join you and the three of us quarrel together?"
…
As we all know, although the Navy Headquarters does not yet have three generals, it does have three sailors who are recognized as a headache for the senior officials - Lieutenant General Garp... The hero takes the first place without hesitation, and he seems to be a kind-hearted person. In fact, the extremely sinister Counselor He is ranked second. As for third place...
Of course, it’s Porusalino, who has the thick-skinned and unpredictable personality of Lieutenant General Garp, and the extremely sinister character of Commander Crane!
Therefore, Kuzan and Sakaski, who had been quarreling just now, looked at each other in a tacit understanding after seeing Porusalino pushing the door open, and then said in unison:
"where to?"
…
The addition of two cute little guys to the family did not have a big impact on Porusalino's life - in fact, since the end of Operation O'Hara's Demon-Slaying Order, as the Navy's fastest He has never had the opportunity to be idle. Every day he is either on the way to perform tasks or on the way to receive tasks.
After all, after Roger's death, the number of pirates in the entire world experienced an unprecedented surge. Moreover, compared to those powerful big pirates, these newly emerged pirates really cause headaches for the top leaders of the world government.
They, the scum, have an absolute advantage in numbers, and their narrow vision also makes them commit crimes unscrupulously. There is no doubt that these trash fishes are the real threat to the peace of the entire world.
And even though the scale had been greatly expanded through the previous world conscription, the entire navy was extremely busy - even the rebellious king Porusalino himself had been forced to miss get off work on time for ten consecutive days.
Work overtime every day, no bonus!
--How do you say that? Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't!
Finally, Porusalino, who couldn't bear it anymore, decided to propose two plans to the Warring States Marshal, which could be regarded as adapting to the development of the plot, or as a way to reduce his burden and make it easier for him to fish better.
…
"Your Majesty Shichibukai? Can you explain it in detail?"
In the marshal's office in the Marinefando Fortress building, the Warring States Marshal frowned and looked at Porusalino in front of him - his frown was not only because of the new term Polusalino proposed at this time, but also because In order to look miserable, the latter deliberately put on "tired makeup" with extremely obvious dark circles under his eyes.
"Ahem... The so-called Seven Martial Arts Under the King is actually just a title. As long as you want to be Marshal of the Warring States Period, you can call him the Twelve Saints, or the Five King Kongs... any name will do... Ahem, no. Sorry, Marshal, I worked overtime until midnight yesterday, maybe..."
"Don't pretend to me! Get to the point!"
The Warring States Marshal rolled his eyes angrily.
"Well, to sum up this plan in one sentence, it is to cooperate with some selected pirates and use them to control and deter other pirates."
Porusalino, who instantly regained his energy, shrugged.
"Are you cooperating with pirates..."
The Warring States Marshal murmured, "Tell me more about your thoughts in more detail."
"Marshal, you know the current situation in Dahai better than anyone else. If you don't say anything else, just count the number of pirate crimes reported to our headquarters by the Sihai branch yesterday. It has already reached double digits, right?"
"To be precise, 36 pieces."
The Warring States Marshal smiled bitterly.
"The number of criminal incidents that could be reported to the headquarters reached thirty-six in one day. If we also include those who are not qualified to report, those that the Sihai Branch failed to count, and those that occurred in the Grand Line... it must be a Shocking numbers. Marshal Sengoku, in my opinion, a wave of pirates like locusts has arrived, and our navy obviously does not have enough troops to fully cope with the current situation."
"yes……"
Marshal Sengoku sighed - what Porusalino said is indeed true. The navy is expanding every year, but it is obvious that the growth rate of naval soldiers is far less than the growth rate of pirates.
Moreover, the naval base does not cover every inhabited island in the sea. Once a relatively remote island is attacked by pirates, the navy is often unable to respond.
Porusalino continued:
"So I think we can cooperate with some selected pirates and use these pirates to deal with other pirates. This is not only effective, but also low-cost. Of course, these selected pirates must reach a higher level Requirements: have strength and fame, but at the same time not commit too many crimes..."
…
King Shichibukai is an extremely dangerous idea, but Sengoku, who was talking to Porusalino, did not get angry and thought that cooperating with pirates would be an insult to the navy, or simply rejected it - after all, besides being a powerful warrior, In addition to being a fighting faction, he is also a shrewd politician, otherwise he would not be able to take over the position of Marshal of the Air Force and Navy.
However, even though he only thought about it for a moment, Sengoku actually saw it clearly - no matter how selected he was, a pirate would still be a pirate after all. It is absolutely impossible to expect that such a plan will make them sincerely serve the world government. Therefore, once this plan is really implemented, the navy must be very cautious, because both sides are taking advantage of the relationship: the world government uses these legal pirates to deter small pirate groups on the sea, and these legal pirates hide under the flag of the world government develop power below.
Of course, this plan has only been initially proposed by Porusalino. Whether and how to implement it will still need to be considered by the big shots for a long time.
…
"Legal pirate?"
In the holy land of Mariejoia, located between the powers of Pangu City, the Five Old Stars received a contact from the Navy Marshal Sengoku.
"Yes, it was the idea proposed to me by Porusalino."
The Warring States Marshal's voice sounded particularly clear on the upgraded phone bug.
"What Roger said before he died made the whole world agitated, and the number of pirates has begun to surge. It can be foreseen that no matter how much our navy expands in the next era, I am afraid it will not be able to keep up with just a few people on one ship. Pirates who can go to sea will grow faster.”
"So Porusalino thought that it was possible to select some powerful big pirates and use their reputation to intimidate the low-level pirates so that they would not dare to act rashly."
"Is this so——"
The bald Wulaoxing thought for a moment and said, "Let's think about it."
"However, Warring States, you are right about one thing,"
The five-old star with a long beard said, "The next period will definitely be the most difficult period for the navy. The number of pirates will increase like never before. That bastard Roger will not live in peace even after he dies. Warring States, be prepared." ! Don’t slack off at all and maintain the stability of the sea!”
"I'll do my best."
Warring States said in a deep voice.
"Why did Porusalino suddenly come up with this idea? Have you ever asked him, Warring States?"
The blond Wulaoxing asked again.
"Yes, he said that he only cares about the government's work, which is quite fair. But I always feel that he just wants to make his work pressure a little less. After all, you all know his attitude towards work..."
"Well, we also agree with your idea. His purpose is understandable. For an outstanding talent like him, as long as he is loyal enough to the government, that is enough..."
"..."
Marshal Warring States did not answer.
"Then let's do this for now."
The blond Five Old Star didn't say anything more and hung up the phone directly. Then he looked back at his colleagues who shared the world's highest power with him: "What do you think? The matter of legal pirates?"
"It makes sense,"
The bearded Wulaoxing said solemnly, "To intimidate pirates through pirates is a good idea in the coming wave."
"But the question is, will the pirates cooperate?"
The bald Five Old Star asked, "The lowly pirates are looking for wealth, which can be easily satisfied, and it is not difficult to recruit them. But the problem is that the truly valuable and qualified pirates, They all go to sea with their own purposes, will they respond to the government’s solicitation?”
"This is secondary," the long-bearded Five Old Star frowned. "The more critical issue is how to ensure the binding force on legal pirates. They will honestly abide by the government's regulations. Do you want to act within certain limits? I’m afraid this is impossible. In the end, we don’t want to develop a few cancerous tumors that host the government and suck blood.”
"It's a problem,"
The five-old star wearing a flat hat sighed, "Then let's put it aside for now and let's take a look at the situation first. Maybe the situation won't be as bad as we expected."
"agree."
"But we can't just look at it like this. It's not a bad thing to prepare early. Let's relax the restrictions on the navy a little and increase investment in funds so that the navy has enough power to maintain stability."
"Agree."
"Seconded."
