Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

"General, this is different from the original promise! If you said that you would insist on it for another year and a half, then I would agree without saying a word, but these three years..." Smoker said a little impatiently.

"If you think about it carefully, these three years have just doubled one and a half years. It's not a big problem." Louis reassured.

"No...it's not a big problem??" Smoker was stunned when he heard this, and then his tone became more passionate and said: "This is a big problem! General, do you know how I have lived in the past three years? ?”

"Smog, calm down and listen to me..." Louis said quickly.

"Smorg is dead, you chose the idol!" Smorg exploded on the spot.

The excitement and anticipation that I had felt before were all turned into disappointment.

Louis? ? ?

Good guy, he was really afraid that Smoker would yell again: "I'm going to kill Whitebeard. Even if the marshal comes, I won't be able to keep him. I said so!" '

After being stunned for a moment, Louis quickly added: "Can you calm down?!"

"Calm down? How do you want me to calm down? I'm afraid of talking in my sleep every day. What if I spill the beans and reveal myself to be a navy..." Smoker frowned.

Good guy, before Louis could speak, Smoker's thorny temper came up directly, and he slammed the table and said:

"It was agreed upon for three years at the beginning, and now three years and three years later, does it mean there are still three more years? If you count it like this, it will be ten years! Boss, I am a navy, not a pirate!!"

"Can you treat me better? Only a few people in the entire navy headquarters know your identity. How about I go back and delete your file so that no one will tell you that you have been a pirate all your life, so I don't have to bother you!? "Louis also slapped the table and shouted.

Smoker's momentum was suppressed by Louis's roar.

To be honest, Smoker is really unhappy now, but if Louis goes back and deletes his navy files and makes him a pirate for the rest of his life, Smoker really can't accept it.

After seeing this guy calm down a little, Louis continued: "The person who made an appointment with you for three years was Teacher Zefa. What's the use of getting angry at me? If you can, go to the headquarters and point at Teacher Zefa's nose. Go ahead and scold me!"

Smoker hesitated to speak, but finally closed his mouth.

"Now that we've said it, I'm not afraid to tell you, Smoker, this King's Shichibukai plan has very far-reaching significance for our navy. Don't not take it seriously!

Our Navy selected you to serve as the Shichibukai because it trusts you and your unwavering heart of justice!I believe in your outstanding ability and strength!We are here to let you become the Shichibukai for the future of the navy! !

In other words, the future of the Navy depends on how far you can go!do you understand?So you're getting angry with me here? ? "Louis slapped the table again and reprimanded angrily.

Smoker was very confused after hearing these words.

He didn't even know whether Louis was praising him or scolding him.

But at this time, he was so overwhelmed by Louis' heavy power that Smog didn't dare to stab him.

Although he felt extremely aggrieved and helpless, he really couldn't do it if he wanted to rebel and become a pirate or something.

The reason is because of the unwavering justice in his heart.

"No, General, I just..." Smoker softened his tone and shook his head.

Seeing this, Louis also restrained his momentum, sighed and said: "I know what you mean, and I also understand your difficulty. He is obviously a promising rear admiral, but he has to be a pirate and have to carry a... With the reputation of being a lackey, you are under a lot of pressure, and your temper suddenly breaks out. I understand that, and I am not reprimanding you for that..."

"General, you..."

Smoker was a little moved when he heard this. General, he still understands me!

"But in this world, there are always some people who have to bear a heavy burden to move forward. I am like this, and so are you. It is precisely because there are thousands of us like this that more people can survive in this chaotic era. You understand "?" Louis said seriously.

He always feels that he has become the person he hated the most back then, full of benevolence, justice and morality, and talking about bright and magnificent things...

But... But they didn't sit still and wait for death. They did some practical things.At least... at least let Smoker be a Shichibukai, better than those bastard pirates and dirty careerists, right?

Smoker is indeed still too young, not as smooth-talking as Louis. He is around 20 years old, has not experienced much, and does not have the experience of Louis in his two lives. He is still somewhat passionate in his heart.

Although these words of Louis sounded very "empty", Smoker just did this, which made his blood boil.

"By the way, look at Ms. Stussy, she is also the senior operations commander of CP-0! At that level in our headquarters, she is still a lieutenant general with real power.

But now, didn't she obey the order and come to Happy Street to be the madam?Picture what?It's not just for justice. She is different from those in the CP agency.

Otherwise, we will not be trusted by our navy. A delicate girl can endure this. As a man, you, Smog, are so unsatisfactory? "Louis pointed at Stussy again.

On the surface, Stussy smiled and kept nodding along with Louis' words, but in fact, she scolded Louis half to death in her heart.

You are the Madam, and I am the Dark Emperor of the New World, the Queen of Happy Street!

When Louis said this, Smoker, a simple child, was a little embarrassed, especially since everyone had the last name 'Si', it was even more embarrassing.

"Also, don't worry. Our headquarters has found another child suitable for the Shichibukai. When she reaches adulthood in two years, we will arrange for her to join the King's Shichibukai. By then, you will not be alone. .

Of course, you two won’t be the only ones. Our plan is to turn the entire Shichibukai of the King into a peripheral organization of the navy. When the time comes, there will be no difference between where you are and where you are at the headquarters. You are all one of our own! "Louis leaned forward, patted Smoker on the shoulder, and said softly.

Smoker's expression changed several times, but finally he didn't get angry anymore.

"I understand, General." Smoker's face relaxed and he nodded.

"Oh, that's right... Actually, it's difficult for us to handle it. If there was a better way, we wouldn't let an outstanding talent like you become a pirate." Louis sighed pretendingly.

Smoker nodded, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "General, please give me an accurate answer. How long will it take for me to do the Shichibukai before I can return to my headquarters?"

Louis hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and just when he was about to speak, Smoker reminded him: "I will take what you said this time seriously."

Seeing this, Louis touched his chin, thought for a while and said: "It's difficult for me to give you an accurate figure. The plan can't keep up with changes, but based on the current situation, it will take at least ten years."

"Well...that means I still need to persist...for another seven years?" Smoker pondered for a moment and said.

"No, I mean at least ten years from now."

Smoker? ? ?

It might as well be three years and three years!

Seeing Smoker's astonished look, Louis looked like it was 'for your own good', patted him on the shoulder, and then started to draw a cake for him:

"Don't worry, you will be your king Shichibukai. In the future, you will have more and more exchanges with the headquarters. In this way, you can strengthen your strength, abilities and so on. I am relieved. After these years of experience, I will definitely Not too bad.

I promise you, when you successfully complete the mission and become famous, you will return to the headquarters, and I, Louis, will give you the entire candidate list of generals! "

When Smoker left the headquarters, Louis drew him a rear admiral's cake, and even vaguely nodded to a lieutenant general.

Now it is directly promoted to the general candidate.

However, although Smoker is no longer the fledgling kid he was back then, he has been a pirate for two years, and deceptions are not uncommon. After being a captain for more than two years, he has also done things like drawing cakes.

Of course I can understand what Louis means.

Having said that, Smoker still has a lot of expectations in his heart.

Now he finally understands that once you climb into this pit, it won't be that easy to get out.

All I can say is that I hope General Louis can gain some credibility in the future...

After thinking about this, Smoker sighed and said: "General, you came to me this time. What do you want to explain?"

"Yes, of course." Louis smiled, nodded, and then said: "Now, you have been the king of the Shichibukai for a while, and the world government has also passed the period of doubt. It is your turn. You’ve done your best for this department.”

If you talk about this, then I won't be sleepy!

When Smoker heard that he wanted to contribute to the headquarters, not only was he not disgusted, but he was even looking forward to it.

It's quite exciting to think about putting on the cloak of a pirate and carrying out justice?

"You tell me, I promise to complete the task!" Smoker patted his chest and promised.

Stusy on the side also laughed when he saw this, lamenting that the navy can have the current status of maritime hegemony because of these people who have dedicated themselves one after another...

Seeing him like this, Louis also smiled, then straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "The cigars you sent me before inspired me, and then through the resolution of the headquarters, I decided to use your name as White Hunter Smoker. As a camouflage protective color, set up a trading company!

The headquarters and Ms. Stussy will put their power within this trading company. What you have to do is to be the 'chairman' on the outside.

At the same time, we will try our best to make this company bigger and stronger, preferably to the level of a chaebol. The purpose of this company is very simple, which is to earn funds and continuously deliver blood to the headquarters...

How about it? Can it be done? "

Smoker? ? ?

You ask me to be a navy, to enforce justice, punish rape and eradicate evil, no problem.

Let me be a pirate, kill people and set fires, no problem.

But you want me to be the 'chairman' of this Laoshizi trading company?

Isn’t that too outrageous?My general!

"Ah this..." Smoker's originally confident expression froze after hearing Louis' words.

Looking at his expression, Louis certainly understood what he was worried about, so he began to explain to Smoker again:

"Don't worry about anything. We have gathered the comprehensive strength of the navy, pirates, CP agencies, and Happy Street. Moreover, there is no competition for interests between the four parties.

Basically speaking, there are not many opponents in this plan, and the difficulty is not high. As for resources, we have been developing it in the windless zone for several years.

There are all kinds of minerals, timber, medicinal materials, etc., and the cultivation of tobacco and other things can be expanded. We have even developed a gold mine.As for those resources, our naval headquarters can digest most of them internally, but the rest should be left alone.

And after you get the shell of the company out, our navy will hand over the goods to Stussy. At that time, as the King of the Shichibukai, you will cooperate with Stussy in the dark world to transfer these resources. Sell ​​it, and as for the funds earned, you keep part of it for development, give part to Stussy, and give the rest to the headquarters... The risk is not high, and the difficulty is not high. "

Smoker was stunned when he heard this and fell into thinking.

There wasn't much music before, but now listening to General Louis' explanation, it seems that everything is ready and all we need is the east wind?

It seems...it's really not that difficult, right? !

Thinking about it, with the combined strength of these families, basically no one can compete with them, otherwise you don't know how you will die.

Moreover, he, Smoker, also knows the inside story about the problem of supply. Over there in the Windless Belt, 10,000+ pirate prisoners from the Navy have been gathered to reclaim mountains and seas and engage in large-scale development of the Windless Belt. I don’t know how to do it. There are so many resources, but they cannot be converted into funds now.

Therefore, once I go back and set up the framework, I can start to put it into operation immediately, converting these resources into a steady flow of funds to infuse blood for the headquarters!

Smoker understands the meaning of this quite well after two years of hard work and communication with the Navy Headquarters.

Maybe it was nothing at the beginning, but as their 'trading company' continues to grow bigger and stronger, in the future... this will be the source of the navy's independent military expenditures!

The qualitative change this brings is amazing!

"You see, this is the benefit that His Majesty's Shichibukai Plan has brought to our navy. Besides, you are the only one now. If there are more in the future, wouldn't the benefits be even greater?

So I didn’t lie to you. When you stay in the Shichibukai sequence, you are indeed responsible for the future of our navy!Smoker! "Louis said seriously.

"Yes, I understand, General!" Smoker also responded solemnly.

Queen Stussi on the side saw a smile on her face after seeing these two people explain everything clearly, nodded towards Smoker and said: "Hahaha, Major General Roismoger will have to take more trouble in the future. ”

"Ms. Stussy is joking. I, Smoker, should be the one to trouble you. After all, I can be said to be a layman in this area. Please give me more advice in the future." Smoker said very friendly after hearing this.

He understood how much he had, and the trading company in the future might have to count on the Queen a lot of the time.

Furthermore, firstly, they are expressing goodwill, and secondly, they are also future partners, so their attitude and other things should naturally be friendly.

"By the way, since we have decided to establish a company... then this company name..." Louis smiled with relief at first, then thought of something and said.
