Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scoop) rang.

Xia Che answered his personal Den Den Mushi and already guessed who was calling. Just as he was about to ask Moke if something had happened again,

The bald Den Den Mushi in his hand spoke in a loud voice, "The Navy has invited me to become a new Shichibukai! Boss, should I accept?"

Chapter 66 An unexpected gain

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea".

Back in his office, Natsuki looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand with some surprise.

Along the way, thanks to Mokna's rambling explanations, Xia Che finally understood what was going on.

While he was working outside, Smoker suddenly arrived in a navy ship with a dark expression, and told him in a very unfriendly tone that the World Government was going to invite him to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and that the letter of appointment was currently in his hands.

then.

After saying only a few words, he became impatient and slammed the letter of appointment into Moke's arms, telling Moke to look at it himself.

Moke had no idea about this stuff. He did know about the Seven Warlords of the Sea, though; his last big client was one of these so-called Seven Warlords. But he knew nothing about the others.

Therefore, adhering to the principle of always asking the boss when in doubt, I called to ask if I wanted to take the position.

Moreover, I heard from Tashigi that once you become the boss, you seem to have a lot of power, which might be helpful to the boss?

As for why Tashigi is called "Big Sister Tashigi," it's because Tashigi looks very similar to Kuina, and looking at that face, he feels a little uncomfortable if he doesn't call her "Big Sister."

the other side……

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

Although becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will remove the original wanted posters and the World Government will no longer pursue any crimes committed before, remember this... it also means the bounty will be gone.

You have to understand that the Moke Pirates are a major enemy of his 16th branch. If they really become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, how will he apply for military funding from his superiors?

Although the military funds allocated to them now are only a small amount for the 16th Navy Branch, they might as well take them!

As for the so-called legal privateering warrants, what's the use of them?

Without this, it's as if the Moke Pirates wouldn't rob anything else. Besides, with this, they'd have to give a share to the World Government every time they raid!

Not only did we lose military funding, but we also had to pay taxes to the higher-ups. What a loss!

Therefore, without a doubt!

"What do you mean by legal privateering and illegal privateering? As the overlord of the East Blue, do you need the World Government's approval to steal things?" Xia Che said to the Den Den Mushi without hesitation, "You're the overlord of the East Blue, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? I wouldn't even be a dog for that!"

Before the Morgen Den Den Mushi could even speak, it suddenly changed its appearance, transforming from a bald creature into a dark-faced one with a cigar in its mouth, speaking in a low voice, "Do you know what you're saying? 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 has become a bald Den Den Mushi again.

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

Shachet glanced at the Morden Denshi (snail phone) in his hand, which seemed to be complaining to something, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Has Smoker not left yet?"

"Oh, Smoker?" Hearing Xia Che's words, Mok Den Den Mushi also came to his senses and said casually, "Not yet! Because I need to talk to the boss, I asked Smoker and the others to help me catch someone!"

"..."

Xia Che remained silent, looking at Moke Den Den Mushi with a strange expression.

Is this guy asking Smoker to help him catch someone again?

Smoker is probably so angry right now that he wants to arrest Moke.

"Oh right~, Smoker, that old man who cursed you last time told me to thank you, I almost forgot." Mok Den Den Mushi said with a grin, then his gaze seemed to return to Boss Xia Che, and he said, "So, you're giving up on being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"I'm not going to be one!" Xia Che said casually. "The Seven Warlords of the Sea, that thing is useless to you!"

"I understand, boss! I wouldn't even be a dog among the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Immediately afterwards...

After the ever-efficient Mok Den Den Mushi emitted a resolute voice, it then…

"dudu~"

The call was abruptly disconnected.

Xia Che nodded in satisfaction. He still trusted Mo Ke quite a bit.

Just as he was putting away the Den Den Mushi, he seemed to notice something and looked up at the big bear who had arrived at some point and looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

He looked at Big Bear with surprise, then quickly beckoned him in, "Hey, Big Bear, you're back?"

Big Bear hasn't been in the East China Sea these past few days; he's been away on a business trip.

Ever since he told Crocus about the Rumbar Pirates, Crocus had been wanting to go to the Devil's Triangle to take a look.

only.

Twin Capes is quite a distance from the Devil's Triangle. He originally planned to find a small boat and swim there, but after seeing the Great Bear's abilities, he gave up the idea of ​​swimming there and directly called the Great Bear Express.

He was also worried about what might happen, so he decided to go to the Sabaody Archipelago first to find his old friends and then go together.

Big Bear was very grateful to the benefactor who had alleviated 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……

That's pretty fast!

But looking at the bear who seemed to want to say something but didn't know what to say, Xia Che also fell 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 the bear, he hesitated for a moment, then asked, "You refused?"

I didn't expect that even Big Bear would be invited at this time.

"???" Upon hearing the BOSS's words, Big Bear was stunned for a moment. After regaining 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, remembering what he had overheard the BOSS saying at the door, he paused slightly before saying in a muffled voice, "I'll go down and refuse!"

however.

The voice just fell.

"Wait a moment!"

"???"

"Ahem, ahem." Looking at the big bear staring at him with a puzzled expression, Xia Che coughed twice and said, "Your situation is different from Moke's. You can still be a Shichibukai!"

The Seven Warlords of the Sea can legally occupy islands belonging to non-member states and can prohibit the Navy from entering the territory of the Seven Warlords.

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

Speaking of which, it's time to start developing the area around the Konom Islands.

As for Moke...

Moke is here to stir up hatred; what's the point of being a Shichibukai?

Seeing the strange look in Big Bear's eyes, and ignoring Robin who was smiling elegantly and quietly watching the scene, Xia Che remembered Big Bear's mission. His expression turned serious, and he changed the subject, asking directly, "Is everything settled?"

"It's all taken care of!" Upon hearing the BOSS's question, Big Bear also suppressed his strange gaze.

He was aware of the power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and therefore understood the Boss's meaning, which is why he came back specifically to inquire.

I never expected to hear those words when I got to the door.

But none of that matters now!

"Just as the BOSS said, there is still one member of the Rumbar Pirates alive... Hey, still alive!" Recalling the situation of this peculiar member of the Rumbar Pirates, the honest and simple-minded Big Bear paused for a moment, then quickly changed his words. Then, he looked at the BOSS in front of him with a smile and said, "Mr. Brook has already left with Crocus, and he was very grateful to the BOSS. After hearing Mr. Crocus say that you are a powerful swordsman, he gave this to me as a thank you gift."

As he spoke, Da Xiong pulled out a long sword from the side. The blade was a chaotic, reverse-T shape, and the body was blackish-purple with red serrated patterns.

"He even said he'd come in person next time to express his gratitude to the boss!"

"The Twenty-One Great Swords - Autumn Water?!"

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

He knew that Shusui was with Gekko Moria, but he was using Sandai Kitetsu just fine and found it too troublesome, so he didn't bother to snatch it... He never expected that Brook would give it as a thank you gift.

But since we've already brought it...

He accepted it!

After seeing that the BOSS had accepted it, Big Bear also showed a faint smile.

After seeing that the Devil's Triangle was exactly as the BOSS had described, he became even more convinced that the BOSS had a way to cure Bonnie.

And a few days ago, we obtained a Devil Fruit, and the BOSS even said that it wouldn't be long before Bonney could be healed, so perhaps...

Will Bonnie really be healed soon?

Considering his time with Bonnie these past few days, Big Bear felt even more grateful to the Boss. Adjusting his glasses, he remembered he had a secret mission on this trip. With a serious expression, Big Bear nodded and said, "Boss, I've found what you wanted."

Another pause.

"The cyborg hasn't had a chance to eat yet. It seems he was only found recently, so I didn't bring him back."

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

"As per the BOSS's instructions, I brought this back secretly without letting anyone else see it. BOSS, take a look, is this it?"

The words fell.

"?!"

Xia Che also looked at the strange fruit that the big bear had taken out, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Haven't eaten yet?

It's really possible!

Perhaps Absalom found the fruit only after joining Gecko Moria and asking Hogback to modify it.
