Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

Acebagu's mind was in a mess at this time. He did not expect that the three most important figures of Nine Snake Island would come to the Seven Water City!

You know, they arrived at the final island of the Grand Line that year: Raftel!

This is the living Pirate King!

At this moment, Acebagu had no idea what kind of reasonable reaction he should make. His mind was in a mess.

“Mr. Gerard… and… Her Majesty, Her Royal Highness, please take a rest here.

Our president may not be able to react quickly, so please give him a little time to react, thank you!" At this time, Secretary Alice said politely.

"It's okay, we understand. Don't worry, we won't vent our anger on Mr. Espagu." Gerard said softly.

"Thank you, Master Gerald." Alice bowed in thanks.

Perhaps Alice's words worked, and Acepagu finally came back to his senses, and his mood slowly returned to normal.

Then he said, "I'm sorry, please sit over here. Alice, give me some hot tea. Oh, and give the princess a glass of juice."

"Okay, Mr. Iceberg." Alice replied in a gentle voice.

Then she stepped out, and Acebargo led Jellal and the other two to sit on the sofa next to them.

"Mr. Espagu, don't be nervous. After we lose those halos, we are just ordinary people." The empress said lightly at this time.

“Uh(⊙o⊙)…”

"Yes, yes, yes~~~ I just don't know what the purpose of the Empress's visit to our Carrera Shipyard this time?" Espagu asked with a stiff dry laugh.

Good fellow, who dares to treat you as ordinary people on the sea now?

Although the Nine Snakes Pirates have not been very active on the sea in recent years, due to the previous New World incident, the Nine Snakes Island intervened and issued a warning to make the major forces in the New World stop fighting.

The most crucial thing is that this request was made by the civilians of the New World who wanted the Nine Snake Island to go out. This is how the Nine Snake Island prevented the war from continuing in the New World.

Now, almost everyone on the sea agrees that the words of Nine Snake Island are more effective than those of the World Government!

Castilita seemed unable to sit still and began to wander around Acebagu's office, seeming to be curious about everything here.

Acebagu didn't care, there were no secrets in his office.

"Actually, the main reason we came here is for you. Your shipbuilding technology is very impressive, so I would like to invite you to work on Nine Snake Island." Jellal said sincerely.

"For me?" Espagu was horrified.

At this time, Alice knocked on the door and came in, holding three cups of tea and a glass of juice in her hands.

"My lords, Mr. Iceberg, the tea is here. Please have a cup of tea first." Alice said, skillfully placing several cups of steaming black tea in front of them.

Then he turned around and stood next to Espagu.

"Thanks……"

"Excuse me, Elise."

Several people expressed their gratitude to Alice and picked up their teacups to taste it.

As a result, Acepagu got a moment to breathe, and the shock in his heart was slightly alleviated.

After all, what Gerard said just now was too shocking to him. He never thought that these adults would come personally to invite him to Nine Snake Island.

At this moment, his brain was almost in a state of shutdown and he was completely unable to understand what was happening before his eyes.

For him, the invitation from Nine Snake Island was not something to be happy about, but more of a shock.

He couldn't help but cast a grateful look towards Alice. If she hadn't appeared in time, he would probably have been embarrassed again.

When Alice noticed his gaze, she blinked slightly in response.

"Mr. Gerard, first of all, please forgive me for rejecting your invitation, because it is really impossible for me to leave the Seven Water City.

This city is the result of the hard work of my teacher, Mr. Tom.

He dedicated his entire life to this city, and as his student, I have the responsibility and obligation to carry on his legacy and protect this city.

In addition, I also have deep feelings for this city. Every corner here is full of memories. These are part of my life and I can't let go easily.

So please understand my decision.

For me, governing the Seven Water City well means allowing the civilians living here to continue to live a stable life.

This is my biggest wish for the future.

I hope that through my own efforts, I can protect the Seven Water City from the troubles of the water gods, improve the city's infrastructure, and make the civilians feel happy and satisfied." Espagu took a deep breath and said firmly.

Alice, who was standing next to Espagu, also started to get nervous at this time. You know, her boss had just rejected the invitation from Nine Snake Island.

That is the most powerful force on the sea right now!

“It seems that Espagu does have deep feelings for this city, but it’s a pity that you have such excellent shipbuilding skills.

Okay, then we won't force you.

However, I believe we may have other cooperation in the future, and Mr. Espagu will definitely be surprised." Gerald said with a little regret.

As the number one disciple of Murloc Tom, Acebargo's skills are unquestionable, and Jellal is even thinking of recruiting him back to help Judge.

But it doesn’t matter. Now with the help of Tom’s brother Dan, the shipyard on Technology Island is also very powerful.

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Gerard, Her Majesty, please forgive my refusal, I really can’t leave here.

As for future cooperation with Nine Snake Island, I am looking forward to it." Espagu stood up again and said apologetically.

"Okay, then we'll leave first. Castilita, it's time for us to go." Gerard said softly, and then shouted to his daughter who was still strolling in the office.

"Oh, here I come." Castilita immediately ran to Gerard.

Then the three of them walked out of the Carrera Shipyard with Espagu and Alice seeing them off.

It was not until Jellal and the other two left that Acebargo and Alice slowly calmed down.

"Whoo~~~"

"I was scared to death. I didn't expect such a big shot would come to our Seven Water City." Alice let out a long breath and said, patting her flat chest.

"Well~~~"

"This incident happened too suddenly. I didn't expect Nine Snake Island to invite me." Acebagu felt his hands were still shaking.

It was the first time he faced a big shot of this level, and it was really hard for him to remain calm.

"Okay, Mr. Iceberg, you still have a lot of work to do today. e=(′o｀*))) Alas, it looks like you have to work overtime again today." When Alice thought about having to work overtime today, her face instantly became unhappy.

"Haha, Alice, in view of your outstanding performance today, I have decided to double your salary!" Espagu said generously.

"Really?"

"Thank you, Mr. Iceberg!" Alice was very happy with the salary doubled!
