The Otherworld War Madman Projection of Ten Thousand Worlds

Although the position of Shichibukai is good, not every pirate wants it.

Some people have deep hatred for the World Government, some people have better positions and are not interested in becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After thinking for a while, Rayleigh actually thought of some candidates.

"Apart from what you just said, do you have any additional criteria for selecting people?" After having an idea in mind, Rayleigh asked Li Zhong.

"It's nothing. Just don't make me feel sick. Just have some strength. Of course, those who make the Five Elders uncomfortable will be given priority." Li Zhong made no secret of the fact that he was a sailor but had ill intentions towards his immediate superior.

He thought that there was no point in hiding such things in front of Rayleigh, and he couldn't tell everyone about it. Even if he did, would anyone believe his "slander" against a rising star in the navy?

Well, the Five Elders will still believe it.

But he and the Five Elders were both aware of their conflict, and they wouldn't care even if they heard it.

"What do you think of the current queen of Nine Snake Island?"

"She is quite capable and not an extremely evil person," Rayleigh said.

Nine Snakes Island is an island country located in the Calm Belt area of ​​the Grand Line. Almost everyone in this country is proud to be a pirate.

It is one of the few pirate nations in the world.

In addition to being located in a doldrum doldrums that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, this island has another characteristic: the entire island is inhabited by women!

It is basically equivalent to the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West.

As a pirate nation, they use giant sea serpents to pull ships to plunder the surrounding areas. Although they also rob merchant ships, massacres rarely occur. They are basically normal combat casualties. After the battle, they will not wield the butcher knife against the survivors... After all, they are an island nation in the calm belt with limited supplies. They may not be able to get all the supplies they need by robbing alone.

This situation becomes more serious as the population of Nine Snake Island increases.

They have the need to sell stolen goods and purchase some daily necessities.

Once they go too far and no one wants to do business with them, their lives will become very difficult.

They can rob merchants, but they cannot become their public enemies.

If you don't have absolute strength and arouse public outrage, you will face a miserable end. This is something even a child understands.

Sustainable exhaustion of resources is the secret to the continued success of the plunderers.

They are not the kind of pirate group that lives today but not tomorrow. They just want to kill to their heart's content today and don't think about what to do tomorrow.

Nine Snake Island is a country, and there are many differences between the styles of operation of a country and a pirate group.

As for Rayleigh recommending Nine Snake Island to Li Zhong, he also had his own considerations.

The proprietress of this tavern, Rayleigh's companion, Xia Qi, is the former queen of Nine Snake Island.

Rayleigh also has some connection with Nine Snake Island.

And Rayleigh has a little hobby, that is, swimming!

As the deputy captain of the Pirate King's ship, his swimming is naturally not just about swimming along the coast, but he often swims in the dangerous doldrums filled with giant sea kings!

Because he often went there, he had the opportunity to see the navy's new ship.

It is a new type of ship that is powered by machinery, does not need sails, has seafloor stones attached to the bottom of the ship, and can sail in the doldrums.

In the past, Jiushe Island could take advantage of the terrain of the calm belt, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and could attack or defend freely in this sea.

But it seems that the good times of Nine Snake Island are coming to an end.

Once the navy's doldrum navigation technology matures further, the future of Nine Snake Island...

So Rayleigh now wants to help Nine Snake Island and see if he can get Nine Snake Island in touch with Li Zhong and gradually transform from a pirate country into a normal country in this turbulent era.

Otherwise, without the advantage of terrain and without a strong man at the level of the Sea Emperor to take charge, the destruction of Nine Snake Island is probably just a matter of time!

"The contemporary queen of Nine Snake Island..." Li Zhong pondered for a moment and felt that this candidate was ambiguous.

On the one hand, although she can't be called extremely evil, she is definitely not a good person.

On the other hand, judging from her bounty, her strength is probably around the level of brigadier general or rookie lieutenant general.

Her appointment as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would not disgust the Five Elders that much.

"If there's nothing suitable in the end, you can take her one."

"Are there any other candidates?" Li Zhong asked.

After all, the information the World Government can get about pirates is not as good as that obtained from this old pirate.

Moreover, much of the information Li Zhong obtained from the World Government was highly subjective.

It is impossible to filter out the information that Li Zhong wants.

"There is a guy on Fishman Island who is quite capable and has a chivalrous character. His name is Jinbei..."

Before Rayleigh could finish, Li Zhong shook his head: "No."

"Over at Fish-man Island, there's already a Fisher who is one of the Shichibukai. The Celestial Dragons already have a lot of dissatisfaction with the Fish-men. If one more is added, it might bring disaster to Fish-man Island." Li Zhong explained.

Although he wanted to disgust the Five Elders, he couldn't risk the safety of other people's countries and families to do such a thing.

乥Although Li Zhong has no morals, he still has to have some conscience when doing things.

In order to save face, the World Government concealed the true extent of the damage in the attack on the holy land of Marijoa. As one of the conditions for becoming a Shichibukai, Fisher was also helping them block the information.

The outside world actually seriously underestimates the hatred that the Celestial Dragons have for Fisher, and their resulting hatred for the Murlocs!

Even Rayleigh couldn't easily break through this blockade, so he didn't know about it.

"Besides him?"

Rayleigh hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "I have another junior who is quite capable and a good person, but I don't know if he will be willing to accept your invitation to become a Shichibukai. I'll have to talk to him in detail after I meet him."

After saying that, Rayleigh walked to the bar counter of the tavern and pulled out a wanted poster from the drawer at the bottom of the bar counter.

The wanted poster showed a young man with red hair. He smiled at the camera and looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

"Red Hair... Shanks." Li Zhong whispered the name on the wanted poster.

Chapter 374 Boya Hancock

Guluuluulu...

The sound of the rollers hitting the ground echoed as Xia Qi pushed the huge cart into the back kitchen of the tavern.

When I went there, the cart was filled with human heads several meters high. When I came back, it was filled with a pile of Baileys and three small human heads.

"Come out." Xia Qi, who could sense from a distance that there was no one else in the tavern except Rayleigh, spoke.

As she spoke, three little girls covered in blood jumped out of the basket of the cart.

One has black hair, one has green hair, and one has orange hair.

His features could not be seen clearly because his face was covered with half-coagulated dark red blood that had flowed from a large number of heads.

The green-haired and orange-haired little loli were used to being ordered around, and they kept quiet and said nothing. Although their bodies had escaped from hell, their souls were obviously still in that horrible place, and they didn't know when they would be freed.

The black-haired little girl was more opinionated. Now that she finally had the chance, she opened her mouth and asked the questions that had been buried in her heart.

"That lord, isn't he our benefactor? Why should we avoid him?"

To this question, Xia Qi's answer was simple: "He is in the navy."

We are pirates.

Xia Qi didn't say this out loud.

But it echoed in the hearts of the three little girls.

The Amazon Lily Kingdom on the Nine Snake Island is a pirate kingdom, and all outstanding citizens will become pirates.

"Boa Hancock, we are different from him."

"Since you know he is your benefactor, then don't make it difficult for him."

Xia Qi said to the little black-haired loli.

After hearing what Xia Qi said, Boa Hancock lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Okay, take your two sisters to wash, otherwise it will be difficult to wash after it dries."

"...Yeah." Boa Hancock nodded.

Being put into a big box full of dead heads and covered in blood, if it were an ordinary child, this experience would probably have left a lifelong trauma in his childhood.

But for her and her two sisters who once lived in the holy land, that was all.

Looking at the backs of Boa Hancock and the other two children walking away, Xia Qi sighed inwardly.

Fisher caused a disturbance in the holy land of Marijoa and freed a large number of slaves.

Afterwards, Li Zhong acted as a matchmaker and recommended Fisher to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

In exchange, Fisher helped the government's propaganda apparatus conceal the true situation in the Holy Land, and the government gave up the hunt for slaves.

Most of the slaves went back to their homes and to their mothers.

But some slaves had no choice.

Some of them had no home anymore. When they were captured as slaves, their hometowns were burned to ashes. Or, during their years as slaves, their hometowns met with misfortunes.

There are also people like Boa Hancock whose hometown is in a special location and is inconvenient to visit.

Most of the former joined Fisher's Sun Pirates. As for the small number of the elderly, the weak, women and children who were unable to join, Fisher gave them a sum of resettlement money and asked them to find some unknown islands, change their appearance, and live a new life in anonymity.

The three Boa Hancock sisters happened to have someone in the Sun Pirates who knew Rayleigh Shake, so they sent that person to the former king of the Amazon Lily Kingdom.

After a while, she will send these three children back to their hometown.

"Oh my, that's strange." He pushed open the door of the kitchen and returned to the front hall of the tavern.

She actually saw that there was still half a bottle of Rayleigh's wine left.

This is not Rayleigh's character.

"What did you talk about with him?" Walking into the bar and sitting opposite Rayleigh, Xia Qi poured herself a glass of rum.

"Nothing, he asked me to become a Shichibukai."

"...Ah?!" Xia Qi just picked up the wine glass and her hand almost shook and it dropped to the ground.

Invite the vice-captain of One Piece to be a Shichibukai?

She doubted her hearing.

"I didn't agree."

"Oh." Xia Qi's wide eyes gradually returned to normal.

"Then Li Zhong asked me if there were any other suitable candidates, and I recommended Nine Snake Island." Rayleigh looked at Xia Qi.

He also told Xia Qi about seeing the navy’s new ships in the doldrums and that the terrain advantages of Nine Snake Island would gradually disappear.

So Xia Qi also understood the deep meaning of Rayleigh's move.

"What was his answer?" Although she left Nine Snake Island, the former queen of Amazon Lily still had feelings for her hometown.

"He said he would consider it... I also recommended Shanks to him." Rayleigh pinched the glass bottle containing three capsules and rubbed it between his fingertips.

"...Ah?" This was the second time Xia Qi exclaimed today.

"The Shanks you're talking about is the red-haired boy, right?"

"Yeah." Rayleigh nodded.

Then the soft palm pressed on Rayleigh's slightly wrinkled forehead.

"You don't have a fever?" Xia Qi looked confused.

Red-Haired Shanks, this person Xia Qi knew, he was once a trainee crew member on Roger's ship. After the Pirate King arrived at Raftel, the end point of the Grand Line, the Pirate King secretly disbanded his pirate group and surrendered to the navy.

"Go and find it, I left everything I have there..." In front of the execution platform in Rogue Town, he witnessed his captain shouting out the words that changed the world before his execution with tears in his eyes, and then he formed his own pirate group.

That is not an ordinary child. At the age of 24, he has already shown considerable strength. Xia Qi believes that he even has the potential to become the emperor of the sea.

Recommend him to Li Zhong as a Shichibukai? !

"You don't understand..." Rayleigh shook his head, recalling the scene when they met before.

"That Li Zhong is a true monster! Even someone with extremely high innate talent like Big Mom is not worthy of being compared with him."

When they first met, because he sensed a slight sense of crisis in Li Zhong, Rayleigh thought that young people nowadays were incredible. At this age, they had such exaggerated strength.

As Rayleigh drank and talked with Li Zhong, the sense of crisis he sensed from Li Zhong grew stronger and stronger.
