Chapter 123 - 123 - IN YOUR DREAMS!
"Bru~Bru~Bru~... Bru~Bru~Bru~..."
Will pulled out the special den den mushi for the Shichibukai communication from his bosom while looking up at the sky that had completely cleared, who would have thought that only just now they had experienced a storm that lasted 30 minutes!
"Who?"
Because of the bad weather just now caused Will to open his mouth in a bad tone.
"Koby! Hurry up and come out and clean up the mess on the deck!"
"Perona, go prepare the bath, I don't need to remind you how to do this little thing! If you can't get this job, you're not qualified to be a maid!"
"Kieran! Where's Kieran? Quickly check the condition of the power room!"
"Snow better prepare some hot soup to save someone from catching a cold later!" .
"What's the rush! Wait for me to finish this cigarette!"
...
Koby and the others who received the order got busy quickly, especially a certain goth loli whose life was not guaranteed!
If it weren't for the cute maid outfit Robin and Nami matched for her, the unqualified maid who hasn't lived such a clumsy life would have been 'made' into devil fruit by Will!
Also, Issho protects Perona and Snow at every turn and seems to have awakened some remarkable hobbies.
After commanding for a long time, Will remembered that the den den mushi in his hand was still connected.
"Hey! Who the hell are you? If you don't want to talk when you call, I'll hang up!"
Will wiped the rain off his face and was about to go inside to change his clothes.
Then he heard a voice from the connected den den mushi...
"This is the Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku..."
"Ah, and?"
"..."
After a full ten seconds, Will who was waiting impatiently wanted to hang up the den den mushi. But before he could do it, Sengoku, who had calmed down, said again: "We lost contact on Gecko Moria. And someone saw you with him after the last meeting. And I want to know if Moria is still alive now."
Will already knew that this could not be hidden for so long, but he was still somewhat surprised that they found out so quickly.
"Why are you asking me if Moria is alive or dead? I was only a guest in his territory for two days and then left, so the Navy doesn't think I killed Moria, does it?"
Without Evidence, he didn't need to tell them the truth.
There is not even a single witness in the Florian Triangle, and even if he kills Moria, what could they do to him without evidence?
And there is no clause in the Shichibukai's rules that prohibits killing each other!
Sengoku made this call mostly to confirm something. After all, it was not a good sign that another Shichibukai was killed again in just a few months, and the re-selection of Shichibukai candidates was enough to give the Navy a headache for a while.
"I've already sent people to the Florian Triangle to check it out, the news will be back soon, and I think it's necessary for you as a Shichibukai to tell us the truth on this matter."
Sengoku said as his tone became grimmer.
"The truth is I! Don't! Know!"
"Even if Moria did get killed, what does it matter to me? It only proves that he is too weak to deserve the title of a Shichibukai!"
"Is it for the shadow fruit? You are too dangerous, if it wasn't for the orders of the world government, I would never have allowed such a dangerous person like you to sit in the Shichibukai system but would have mobilized my forces to round you up at the first opportunity!"
The Den den mushi in Will's hand has a perfect manifestation of the angry expression of Sengoku at this time!
And maybe a little uneasy?
Maybe after Blackbeard also showed similar abilities, Sengoku would no longer make such a fuss.
"Didn't you already do that? Otherwise, the appearance of Admiral Kizaru would be a bit too coincidental, or maybe you didn't expect a rookie pirate who hasn't grown up yet, would bite back that almost killed one of the Admiral right?"
"Throughout all of this, I've been fighting back passively, including how I came to be an 'honourable' pirate, I'm sure the Fleet Admiral knows that, right?"
At this point, the face of Sengoku on the other end of the den den mushi immediately turned extremely ugly!
It was a disgrace to the Navy, but he couldn't admit it or let the public know about it!
This is the way things have always been handled when something like this happens, except this time, the one they 'sacrificed' was a person they should touch!
"I admit it was a Navy blunder, but if I had to deal with it all over again, I'd still choose it that way! The Navy's reputation must not be sullied!"
Will immediately sneer, making a mistake? Sure enough, the lives of those people at the bottom are not important in the eyes of those on the top. And the reputation of the navy that Sengoku protects at all costs, in Will's view, is just a joke.
Does it really matter if the roots are rotten and the leaves are still green?
"If there's nothing else I'm going to take a shower, the weather on the Grand Line is really going to be the same for a while."
Blip!
Looking at the sleeping den den mushi, Sengoku fell into contemplation. Is it true that he did something wrong in securing the reputation of the Navy?
Since when in the world did he become afraid to admit their mistakes, and have to wipe the asses for those assholes over and over again!
After thinking about it for a long time without coming to a conclusion, finally, Sengoku could only sit weakly in his chair.
"Looks like we'll have to look for a new Shichibukai candidate again..."
Right there on his desk was all the information on the Moria Pirates, including the information on the Ghost Princess 'Perona'!
So when Will inadvertently said the name, Sengoku had already confirmed Moria's death!
And it must be Will's doing! historical
In other words, Moria's shadow devil fruit may have been obtained by him, and this information will be entered into the files compiled by the naval intelligence department to prepare for possible conflict situations in the future!
It's just that Shichibukai has one more vacancy, so who is going to fill it?
He thought that Will's threatening ability would bring him endless trouble, but he didn't expect that Moria would be his first prey.
Fruit of the Door... Then Shadow Fruit...
If these two first-class life-preserving abilities were really obtained by the other party, it will be even more difficult to keep him, can they only rely on unexpected sneak attacks?
Damn the world government!
Sengoku hammered the table hard, and once again he experienced the powerlessness of being hamstrung by the world government!
The navy must go out independently!
"Get Garp to come to see me!"
This old bastard only has eyes for his precious grandson, and every time he's asked to do something, he puts up a lot of resistance, and always thinks of taking a leave of absence!
And he can even read that old bastard's resignation letter on his desk every other day!
Want to quit your job and retire home?
