Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 66 An unexpected gain
"Your Majesty, the Shichibukai."

After returning to the office, Xia Che looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand with some surprise.

Along the way, with Mok's confusing explanation, Xia Che also figured out what was going on.

Probably when he was working outside, Smoker suddenly came over with a dark face in a naval ship and told him in a bad mood that the World Government was going to invite him to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the appointment letter was in his hand.

then.

After a few words, he became impatient again and slapped the letter of authorization directly into Mok's arms, letting Mok read it himself.

How would Mok know about this thing? He was familiar with the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The last big client was one of the so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea. As for the others, he didn't know.

Therefore, adhering to the principle of asking the boss directly when in doubt, he called and asked if he wanted to be the boss.

And I heard from Big Sister Dashiqi that once I become the leader, I seem to have a lot of power. Maybe it will be helpful to the boss?

As for why Tashigi is called Big Sister Tashigi, it is because Tashigi looks very similar to Big Sister Kuina. If he doesn't call her Big Sister when looking at that face, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

the other side……

Of course, Xia Che was very clear about the rights and obligations of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Although once you become one of the Shichibukai, the original wanted order will be stopped and the World Government will no longer pursue all the crimes committed before, but remember... this also means that the bounty will no longer be there.

You know, the Mok Pirates are an important enemy of his 16th branch. If they really become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, how will he apply for military funds from the higher-ups?

Although the military funds allocated now are only a small amount for their 16th naval branch, it would be a waste not to take it!
As for the so-called legal letter of marque, what’s the use of it?

If this weren't the case, the Mok Pirates wouldn't have robbed anything else. What's more, with this, they would have to give a share to the World Government for every robbery!
Not only do we lose our military funds, but we also have to pay taxes to the higher-ups. What a loss!

So, without a doubt!

"What's legal privateering, illegal privateering? As the overlord of the East China Sea, do you need the World Government to recognize your robbery?" Xia Che said to Den Den Mushi without hesitation, "You are the overlord of the East China Sea, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? You are not even worthy of that!"

As he said this, before Mok Den Den Mushi could speak, the Mok Den Den Mushi in his hand suddenly changed its appearance. From the original big bald head, it turned into a Den Den Mushi with a black face and a cigar in its mouth. It said in a low voice, "Do you know what you are talking about? Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea are indeed..."

The words are not finished yet.

The Den Den Mushi with a cigar in its mouth turned into a bald Den Den Mushi again.

Mok's voice came again, "Smoker, this is my Den Den Mushi, I'm talking to the boss!"

Xia Che looked at the Mok Den Den Mushi in his hand who seemed to be complaining about something. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Is Smoker still here?"

"Oh, Smokey?" Hearing what Xia Che said, Mok Den Den Mushi came back to his senses and said carelessly, "Not yet! Because I need to talk to the boss, I asked Smokey and the others to help catch him!"

"..."

Xia Che remained silent and looked at Mok Den Den Mushi strangely.

This guy asked Smoker to help catch someone again?

I guess Smoker is so angry that he wants to arrest Mok at this moment?

"Oh, right~, Yan Nan, the old man who scolded you last time told me to thank you. I almost forgot about it." At this time, Mok Den Den Mushi said with a smile, and then his eyes seemed to return to Boss Xia Che and said, "Then what about the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"No more!" Xia Che said casually, "Seven Warlords of the Sea, that thing is useless to you!"

"I get it, Boss! I'm not even fit to be a dog under the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Immediately afterwards...

The normally efficient Mok Den Den Mushi made a decisive sound and then...

"dudu~"

The call was hung up.

Xia Che also nodded with satisfaction. He still had considerable trust in Mok.

When he was putting away the Den Den Mushi in his hand, he seemed to notice something and looked up at the big bear who came over at some point, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He looked at Daxiong in surprise and quickly called him in, "Hey, Daxiong, you're back?"

Daxiong is not in Donghai these days, but is on a business trip.

Ever since he told Crocus something about the Rumba Pirates, Crocus has always wanted to take a trip to the Devil's Triangle.

only.

Gemini Cape is some distance away from the waters of the Devil's Triangle. Originally, he planned to find a small boat and swim there while driving the boat, but after seeing the ability of Big Bear, he gave up the idea of ​​swimming there and directly called a Big Bear Express.

He was also worried about what accidents might happen at that time, so he planned to go to the Sabaody Archipelago to find his old friends and then go there together.

Big Bear was very grateful to the benefactor who relieved Bonnie's illness, so when he heard that it was just a small matter, he did not refuse and set off immediately.

Now it seems……

It’s quite fast!

But looking at Big Bear who seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, and looked like an honest man who was holding it back, Xia Che was silent for a moment, and then looked at what he was holding in his arms.

《The Seven Warlords of the Sea...》"... "

he.

Understood.

Looking at Big Bear, he hesitated for a moment, "You refused?"

I didn’t expect that even Daxiong was invited at this time.

"???" Hearing the boss's words, Big Bear was stunned. After coming to his senses, he shook his head and said, "Not yet! I plan to come back and ask the boss, so I haven't accepted or rejected it yet."

Then he thought of what he had just heard the boss say at the door, paused for a moment, and said in a muffled voice, "I'll go down and refuse later!"

however.

The voice just fell.

"Wait a moment!"

"???"

"Cough, cough, cough." Looking at the big bear in front of him who was looking at him with a puzzled look, Xia Che coughed twice and said, "Your situation is different from Mok's. You can still be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

The Shichibukai can legally occupy islands that are not member states and can prohibit the navy from entering the Shichibukai's territory.

If Kuma becomes one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it will be much easier to expand.

Speaking of which, it’s time to develop around the Konomy Islands next.

As for Mok...

Mok is here to attract hatred, why is he one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

Looking at the strange look in Big Bear's eyes, and ignoring Robin who was smiling elegantly and watching the scene quietly, Xia Che remembered Big Bear's mission this time. He put on a serious expression, changed the subject, and asked directly, "Is the matter settled?"

"It's been dealt with!" Hearing the BOSS's question, Big Bear also restrained his strange look.

He was also clear about the rights of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and therefore understood what the boss meant, which was why he came back specifically to ask.

I just didn't expect to hear those words when I walked to the door.

But that doesn’t matter now!
"Just as the boss said, there is still a crew member of the Rumbar Pirates alive... eh, still alive!" Thinking of the situation of this peculiar crew member of the Rumbar Pirates, the honest and simple-minded Big Bear paused for a moment, and quickly changed his words. Then, he looked at the boss in front of him with a smile and said, "Mr. Brook has left with Crocus, and he is very grateful to the boss. After hearing Mr. Crocus say that you are a great swordsman, he gave this to me as a thank you gift."

As he spoke, Daxiong pulled out a long sword with a large reverse-T-shaped blade, a black-purple body, and a red serrated pattern.

"He also said that he would come over next time to express his gratitude to the boss in person!"

"The Twenty-first Skill of the Great Blade - Qiu Shui?!"

Xia Che looked at the long knife in Daxiong's hand with some surprise.

He knew that Qiu Shui was with Gekko Moriah, but the Sandaime Kitetsu was using it well and he didn't want to bother with it, so he didn't try to snatch it... but he took it, and he didn't expect Brook to give it as a thank-you gift?

But now that I have brought it...

He accepted it!
After seeing that the BOSS accepted it, Big Bear also showed a faint smile on his face.

After seeing that the Devil's Triangle was really as the boss said, he believed even more that the boss had a way to cure Bonnie.

And I got a devil fruit a few days ago, and the boss said that it won't be long before he can heal Bonnie, maybe...

Is it really not going to be long before Bonnie is really well?

Coupled with the life he and Bonnie had lived here in the past few days, Big Bear felt even more grateful to Boss. He adjusted his glasses and remembered that he had a secret mission this time. With a serious expression on his face, Big Bear nodded and said, "Boss, I found what you want."

Another pause.

"I haven't had time to eat that cyborg yet. It seems that I just found it not long ago. Therefore, I didn't bring that guy back."

As he spoke, under Xia Che's gaze, he carefully took out a strange fruit from his arms.

"According to the boss's request, I didn't let anyone else see it and brought it back secretly. Boss, take a look. Is this it?"

The words fell.

"?!"

Xia Che also looked at the strange fruit that Big Bear took out, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Haven’t eaten yet?
It's really possible!
Perhaps Absalom found the fruit after joining Gekko Moriah and asking Hobgobak to transform it.

Otherwise, if he had eaten it long ago, according to this guy's personality, he would probably have gone into voyeurism instead of joining Gekko Moriah.

Xia Che pondered for a moment, raised his head, looked at Big Bear, and said with a meaningful smile, "Maybe it won't be long before Bonnie can be cured."

Ignoring the big bear who was excited and seemed to want to say something, he turned his head to look at Robin who was still smiling elegantly, and spoke in a firm tone.

"Tell Mork to come back! It's time to work again!"
