Chapter 157 - 157 - The 'Protector' Of The World Nobles.
historical
That's right, Will coming here especially to exchange the bounty is not his main purpose, rather, it was to reveal his 'idea' to the Navy.
Having already killed two Shichibukai, he gave the navy the impression of him as lawlessness, so what he said would make people believe it!
If Will really did attack the World Nobles at the auction, then there would be endless trouble waiting for the Navy!
Vice Admiral Doberman and the navies stationed here will be implicated, and it's hard to say what kind of punishment they will receive.
If Will could just walk away, they would be in big trouble!
"What do you want?"
"As the 'protectors' of the World Nobles, you can just find any reason why the World Nobles can't go."
Vice Admiral Doberman looked at him deeply, then took a breath and said, "This kind of thing is beyond my jurisdiction, I need to report it."
After saying that, he left, and should have reported it to the Fleet Admiral to decide.
As a candidate for being an Admiral, the Vice Admiral who is very popular among the citizens has never received such insults..
But Will didn't feel that way, he made a special trip to remind them of his good intentions, so why do they all have an ugly expression upon hearing him?
"Hey, are the statistics ready?"
"Yes, I'll have the bounty money sent over right away." The recording officer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he pulled out the den den mushi to have the logistics send the money over, this kind of bull that dares to come to the naval base and threaten to take action against the World Nobles can't be messed with, can't be messed with!
Will was satisfied. He pulled over a stool waiting for the Navy to send him the money, but unfortunately, the money didn't arrive, the first thing that came was actually a call from the fleet admiral.
"Hello, who is it?"
Will curled his lips and asked knowingly when he took out the special den den mushi in his bosom.
"It's me, Sengoku."
"Oh, it's the Fleet Admiral, didn't I tell you, I'm busy, I won't attend the world government meeting about the new Shichibukai, I agree with whoever the final candidate is."
Sengoku ignored his pretentiousness and asked straightforwardly, "What do you really want? You should know the consequences of touching the World Nobles."
The Den Den Mushi in Will's hand that turned into the image of Sengoku looked very grumpy!
"Don't worry, I'm just saying that casually, as long as the World Nobles don't mess with me, how can I poke this hornet's nest?"
His subtext is that if they don't mess with him, everyone will be fine, and if they do win the lottery, then I'm sorry!
Since Doflamingo threatened the navy and the world government with Heavenly Gold, this is the first time anyone dared to negotiate terms with the safety of the World Nobles.
"Actually my conditions are quite simple, as long as you don't let the World Nobles appear in front of me during my time in the Sabaody Islands, I promise, I will never take the initiative to find trouble with those idiots, the title of the Shichibukai is actually quite useful, it's really a bit hard for me to give it up~"
There was a moment of silence on Sengoku's side and he angrily said, "Are you threatening the Navy?"
"No, I'm just stating a fact."
"I also have a condition, you must be accompanied by my people during your entire activity in the Sabaody Islands."
In order to completely eliminate the meeting between the World Nobles and Will there must be a contact person in charge, otherwise, if Will walks down the street and comes face to face with a World Nobles, then the other party raised a pistol and pulled the trigger, can they still wish for Will to not fight back!?
This person is in a sense an insurance policy of sorts, specifically to monitor their movements.
Although it is troublesome to carry a "spy", it is still barely acceptable compared to the subsequent benefits.
Will thought quickly: "Yes, but it had better be a pretty navy woman, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to resist killing a muscular guy who I saw in front of me all day."
"That I can do with my authority, don't you worry about it!"
Sengoku, who had a red face from anger, directly hung up the den den mushi after he said that.
It is clear that the Shichibukai system was set up to provide the navy with a fighting power. But why is it that the navy has not used the other side to contribute, but the other side relies on the navy first?
And not to help is not good enough, the other party is clearly untrustworthy, the safety of the World Noble must be put first.
This feeling of being pinched by the other party's scheme is really unpleasant!
Who should I send?
The first thing that came to Sengoku's mind was Hina, who had already dealt with Will several times, but when he thought about the last time the other party came to the naval headquarters for a meeting, Hina's backstabbing move made his head hurt even more.
If Hina didn't think of the big picture and intentionally caused Will to clash with the World Nobles, that would be the worst possible outcome.
The ordinary navy was not competent for this position, since if it was thrown off easily, it would lose its monitoring role.
Looks like we'll have to let her go.
"Crane, I have a mission here that requires Gion to run to the Sabaody Islands."
...
On the other hand, Will left the naval base with the reward money intact under the 'escort' of the expressionless Vice Admiral.
As for tomorrow's auction, there is no need for him to worry about it, naturally, the Navy is responsible for communication, and it is none of his business whether it is a fraud or to delay him.
"It's all done, let's go."
Vice Admiral Doberman looked in the direction of Will and his group's departure and slowly inhaled a puff of smoke. Today's humiliation, one day I will pay it back, 'faceless' Will!
Throwing away his cigarette and crushing it with his foot, Vice Admiral Doberman turned back with a grunt.
At this moment, the idea of outlawing the Shichibukai system was ingrained in Doberman's mind!
......
After coming out of the naval station, Nami and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were protected by the title of the Shichibukai, the inherently antagonistic position of the pirates and the navy made them nervous, feeling that the navy would swarm to arrest them in the next second.
Not everyone had Will's big guts.
"Where to next?"
"Go straight to groove No.3, let's find some hotel to rest for one night, and attend the auction tomorrow."
Nami nodded and went to the helm with the distribution map of the Sabaody Islands in her hand that she had 'bought' from Shakky.
The others also went about their duties, and everything was in order.
"Koby, go raise the flag!"
"Okay, Sensei."
Although he didn't understand why the teacher suddenly had to raise the flag, he just did it, and he didn't want to receive another 'double training' from his teacher and Issho-san.
Looking at the pirate flag drifting in the wind, Will nodded his head in satisfaction.
It was time to announce to everyone my arrival!
And after a day and a night of brewing, the great events on groove 13 spread throughout the Sabaody Island from a few survivors.
