One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 1006: Rosinante and Sakaski

"The 199th branch of the East China Sea is reliable enough to send messages, but the content of the agreement has been modified to only require the protection of local conditions. Their strength is not enough. If it is really the final battle, they don't need to take action. They just need to reveal the bottom line."

Rossinandi said as he ticked the form in his hand.

"I see, boss. But boss, I feel like there shouldn't be any characters in the Four Seas that can participate in the final battle, right? Why should we start with the Four Seas first? Shouldn't we start with the Grand Line?"

Said a subordinate who has followed Rossinanti for many years.

"Alas, you, you still can't figure these things out after all these years? The Four Seas is our base and the place with the largest population. Once the war really breaks out, although they can't do anything to the World Government, their existence itself maintains the stability of the Four Seas. Remember, we must have a long-term vision. The decisive battle with the World Government is a big deal, but it is not worth gambling with the names of the whole world. We must ensure victory in the war while ensuring that there will be no problems in the Four Seas. This is the most important thing, understand?"

Looking at his old friend, Rossinanti sighed helplessly. This guy's ability was okay, and he could be considered his right-hand man, but the fact that he didn't like to use his brain really made him feel pity. This guy clearly had better development prospects, but was dragged down by his pure brain.

"Okay, I'll just do the work, and you can do the brainwork."

The subordinate waved his hand and said.

"Oh, you, forget it, let's go to the next place."

Rocinante said as he stood up.

"No problem, boss. But boss, how are you and Miss Ye doing?"

The subordinate came over quietly and asked.

"Hmm? Miss Ye? What Miss Ye?"

Rossinanti was confused by this sentence and asked in a daze.

"Ms. Ye, Lieutenant General Ekaterina!"

The subordinates looked at Rosinante's stupid look and said anxiously that the old men in the secret operations force were worried about Rosinante as their boss was already in his forties and had no intention of getting married. Then they thought about the women who were close to Rosinante. After excluding those who were too old or too young, they found that the only one left was the director of the department with whom they had the most cooperation - Ekaterina.

So, this group of guys who like to watch the fun and stir up trouble started to add fuel to the fire. After a while, it became clear that there was nothing between Rosinante and Ekaterina that went beyond friendship, so these guys really believed it and started to frequently ask about the two of them.

"Come on, man. Lieutenant General Yekaterina and I are just colleagues. We don't have this idea. What's more, I already have a godson, and I don't even plan to get married."

Rosinante stared at his men with dead eyes and said helplessly, what are these guys thinking? They all want to eat the big fire, right?

"Don't do this, boss. Hey! Boss! Don't go!"

Seeing Rosinante ignoring him and directly using his ability to be alone, his men immediately chased after him, but unfortunately, Rosinante ignored him and left on his own.

At the same time, on Marijoa, Sakaski, who was sent by the navy to protect safety, was in a very bad mood. He didn't even dare to open his Observation Haki, for fear of hearing screams in the distance. The inhumane ritual made Sakaski extremely angry. He was indeed merciless to pirates, but he could guarantee that he had never tortured his opponents. He always treated the opponents equally and gave them a quick death, or directly captured them and sent them to the underwater prison.

But what about now? Look at what these pigs are doing? Are they torturing people for fun? No, fun seems a bit wrong. That place is obviously holding some kind of ritual, and it is definitely not as simple as killing for fun, but that kind of constant torture is what Sakaski can't stand. [Be patient, be patient Sakaski, for more people. ]

Sakaski thought so and lit a cigar, which was something Sakaski had not touched since Gion became pregnant. However, the rage burning in his heart made him unable to calm down, and he could only use the cigar to barely divert his attention. This was the first time he agreed with Fujitora's point of view.

In the past, he always felt that Fujitora's behavior was a kind of escape. He couldn't bear to see the suffering in the world, so he went to save him. What kind of ability was it to destroy his own eyes? But this time he understood what kind of feeling it was, because now he wished he was deaf, so that he wouldn't have to listen to those wailings, and he could only sit here and do nothing.

"Sakaski."

"What do the Five Elders want?"

Mazsheng was sitting opposite Sakaski, and even the cigar in Sakaski's hand was given to him by Mazsheng. Sakaski suspected that the other party did it on purpose, wanting him to hear those noises.

"Sakaski, you may not know that you are the admiral that we all think highly of. Are you interested in becoming a navy marshal?"

Saint Maz did not hide anything and spoke directly to the point. At the beginning, Sakaski was the person they disliked the most, because this guy's code of conduct was not consistent with that of the World Government. However, soon after the "debugging" of the O'Hara incident, Sakaski became the most useful sharp knife in their hands, completely surpassing the lazy Kuzan and the slippery Borsalino.

"Marshal of the Navy? I'm sure no one would dislike this. However, Marshal Sengoku is still in good health. Under his leadership, the Navy as a whole is thriving. I guess they don't need me for the time being. Why? Is there a saying that the position of the Marine Marshal is forced to retire?"

Sakaski said as if he didn't understand.

"Don't worry, Sakaski. No one can hear what we say here. Just tell me what you think. Zhan Guo is indeed a good marshal, but in our opinion, you are the one who can lead the navy to continue to develop. You are more suitable for that position than Zhan Guo."

Mazsheng looked into Sakaski's eyes and said that he believed he saw through Sakaski. This guy was a tough guy and had not really given up his ideas. He was also ambitious and wanted to change everything according to his own ideas. This kind of person was very dangerous and could be backfired if not careful. However, Mazsheng believed that his experience over the years enabled him to control Sakaski, not to mention that they had a trump card.

"Really? Then it seems that I am still very valuable."

Sakaski took a puff of his cigar and exhaled a cloud of smoke, making it impossible to see his expression. However, Maz Saint clearly heard a hint of surprise in Sakaski's tone. Maz Saint keenly caught this and suddenly the corners of his eyes curved a little. This imperceptible movement showed that he was smiling. Maz Saint, who hadn't smiled for many years, almost forgot how to smile.

"Yes, to the World Government, your value is far higher than that of the Warring States." Maz Saint nodded and said.

"I'm very happy to be recognized by the Five Elders, but Marshal Sengoku is my old leader. I can't bear to abandon him like this," said Sakaski.

"So, what's on your mind?"

Maz Saint knew that Sakaski was ready to make an offer. Although making him the Admiral of the Navy was originally part of the deal, it did not hinder other bargaining because Sakaski's Admiralship itself was also beneficial to the Five Elders.

"No rush. It's been a turbulent time recently. The Four Emperors seem to be making a move. The whole world is in turmoil. Instead of having a handover ceremony that would destroy our own martial arts, it's better to wait for this period of time to pass. Whether there will be a war in the near future or everything will calm down after a while, at least right now, it's not the most appropriate time. At the same time, you have to give me some time to think about it, right?"

"What to consider?"

“Consider the benefits.”
