"The body of a woman is in the body of a bird. It seems that it is not an ordinary animal, but a phantom beast." Lieutenant General Crane calmly looked at Lafayette with a smile on his face and talked about Lafayette's animal form just now.
“Hoo ho…”
Lafayette's expression remained normal. He was quite resistant to the ability of this phantom beast fruit, so he would not waste much time talking about this topic.
General Hezhong continued: "Phantom beast species usually come with at least one special ability, and the ability of your phantom beast species should be hypnosis, right? That's why you can come here without causing any disturbance. "
“…”
Lafayette's eyebrows twitched inconspicuously.
General He Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "With the body of a bird and a woman, and the ability to hypnotize...it's a siren. It goes well with the new title of guide that Maud gave you."
Seeing Lieutenant General He reveal his true identity in just a few words, Lafayette's smile faded slightly, but other than that, he had no other conspicuous reaction.
His Devil Fruit ability is indeed that of a siren, a phantom beast, and the bird body and female body are one of the characteristics of the siren.
Therefore, when entering the animal form, his appearance and body shape will change towards female characteristics.
But the key point is that he is a normal man, and he will naturally resist such an animal form.
This is also the reason why he rarely transforms into a full-body beast.
Normally, at most, the beast would partially transform into wings to use the ability to fly, as well as the siren's natural hypnotic ability.
In order to resist Doflamingo's attack head-on, Lafayette didn't think too much, and directly used the bird-body-human-animal form that he resisted in full view of the public.
With the increased defense power gained by his beastly form, he was able to withstand Doflamingo's powerful attack without taking a step back.
"Hoho, I said before, my business is irrelevant."
Lafayette didn't mind the fact that the details were revealed on the spot. Compared to this, he was more concerned about the succession of Shichibukai.
While speaking, he looked away from General Hezhong and turned to Sengoku.
"Bacardi Mod..."
After the insignificant interlude, Sengoku faced Lafayette's gaze and said with a deep thought: "In terms of strength and reputation, he is indeed qualified to take over the position of Shichibukai."
"Fufu... A guy with such Weibo qualifications can take over the position of Shichibukai. I'm afraid he will be laughed out of his mouth."
Doflamingo, who was invisibly restrained from taking action against Lafayette, naturally could not just settle down.
Maude wants to take over as Shichibukai
Then he will sing the opposite no matter what.
If necessary, we will not hesitate to use our connections.
Sengoku glanced at Doflamingo and said calmly: "The purpose of the Shichibukai's existence is to intimidate and restrict other pirates. As long as the strength and reputation are up to standard, no qualifications are needed at all."
"Fufu, you are the marshal, you have the final say."
Doflamingo sneered, with an obvious hint of needle in his tone.
Sengoku raised his brows and ignored Flamengo. Instead, he wrote Bacardi Mod's name on the document in front of him.
Such a move indicates that he will officially include Mod among the candidates to succeed the Shichibukai.
In fact, from all aspects, what Lafayette said is true. Maude is indeed the most suitable candidate to take over the position of Shichibukai at the moment.
Not only because of Mod's qualified strength and reputation, but also because of his identity in defeating Moria.
Therefore, if he takes over the position of Shichibukai, he can calm down the turmoil caused by the Moonlight Moria incident as quickly as possible.
Based on this alone, the people above who have the final say will be happy to agree, right
However, knowing that there was no more suitable candidate, Warring States did not want to hastily finalize the result.
"Do you have any opinions on this?"
Sengoku looked at the lieutenant generals and Shichibukai sitting in front of the round table.
"I have no objection. It might be interesting to let Mod succeed the Qibukai, haha..."
To everyone's surprise, the first person to speak out was the legendary naval hero Garp.
The people in front of the round table looked at Garp who was laughing and chewing senbei with different expressions. Most of their eyes were focused on the gun scar on Garp's face.
The initiator of that scar was none other than Maud...
Jinbei lowered his eyes. He came here specially to attend the Shichibukai meeting. In addition to getting to know Maude better, he actually wanted to talk to Maude.
Once Mod succeeds Moria as the Shichibukai, this matter may become much simpler.
In front of the windowsill.
Lafayette is sure to win.
Apart from his personal safety, everything else on this trip has a high probability of success.
It now seems that it is a foregone conclusion that Mod will take over the position of Shichibukai!
Chapter 164 Headlines
Before Lafayette came to the Holy Land Marie Joa, Maud had not yet taken action against the other supernovae in the Chambord Islands.
However, from Lafayette's point of view, the group of supernovas intent on causing trouble were already dead from the moment they made their decision.
The record of subduing the Supernova should have become one of Mod's assets to take over the Shichibukai.
But now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
After all, compared to the record of defeating Moonlight Moria, the victory record of a few supernovas is just the icing on the cake.
Defeating Moria with their own hands, and then taking advantage of the situation to recommend themselves to the position of Shichibukai, the whole process to the current result is their confidence.
The navy has always had only two requirements for candidates for the new Shichibukai.
One is strength, the other is prestige.
Compared with several other potential candidates who can meet the conditions relatively speaking, Mod's conditions are indeed better in all aspects.
Therefore, even after several rounds of discussions, the conclusion actually remains unchanged.
As for the Shichibukai, except for Doflamingo who is singing the opposite tune, everyone else is following the trend.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that no matter how much Doflamingo criticizes him, the Navy is leaning towards letting Mod take over as the Shichibukai.
The meeting quickly came to an end.
Sengoku organized the [Conclusions of the Meeting] into paper documents, and then asked the guards stationed outside the door to deliver the documents to the hands of the "Five Old Stars of Supreme Power" of the World Government.
Their authority is to select a candidate who is suitable in all aspects, and then the five old stars who hold the final decision-making power will make the final decision.
... ... .
In a huge and luxurious room.
The five old stars were sitting on the sofa, with a round table in front of them.
Mod's bounty order and the conclusion paper document of the Shichibukai Conference were placed on the round table together.
The five old stars all looked at Maude's reward order on the round table with calm faces.
"If a small hole is not repaired, it will turn into a big hole sooner or later. Identifying Moria's successor as soon as possible is the top priority."
"Yes, once there are cracks in the three major force camps, it will directly bring unpredictable impacts to the world, so a balance must be maintained at all times."
"Bacardi Mod..."
"First he suddenly attacked Moria, and then he sent someone to break into the meeting and propose himself. It was premeditated and ambitious..."
"But I have to admit that he has the qualifications."
"Yes, if he takes over Moria's position, he can calm down the storm as quickly as possible."
"So… "
The five-old star with a long scar on the left corner of his eyebrow picked up Maud's bounty order, looked at the other five-old stars at the same time, and said lightly: "I have no objection."
"no problem."
"OK."
"Very good."
The five old stars made a decision on the spot.
As for Modena's previous actions against the participating countries, it is nothing at all in the face of the world government's need to take into account the balance of the three major forces.
... ... ... ... ..
The reply given by Wulaoxing was delivered to Warring States in the conference room as quickly as possible.
As expected by the Warring States Period, the attitude of the Five Old Stars towards the vacancy of the Shichibukai was reflected in one word - anxious.
On this basis, it is undoubtedly something they like to see, with Mod, who defeated Moria, taking over the vacancy in the Shichibukai.
"Those old guys..."
After hearing the conclusion of the on-the-spot report, Doflamingo crossed his legs and slammed them on the conference table, making a rather harsh sound.
But everyone at the same table, even Lafayette, who stood motionless in front of the window sill, no longer paid attention to Doflamingo.
From this moment on, the dust settled.
However, only when the World Government and even the Navy officially announce it to the outside world can Mod be truly established as the new Shichibukai.
The dissemination of a series of information from announcement to newspaper publication takes at least a day or so.
This is only limited to the Great Channel. If it is to be known to the whole world, it will take at least three days.
“Hoo ho…”
But for Lafayette, it was a done deal.
He grinned, flexibly turned the crutch with his fingers, and kicked the blood pool under his feet a few times with his thick heels, causing a few beautiful blood flowers to splash out.
This is his gesture of pleasure.
Warring States turned his head to look at the very happy Lafayette and made a request: "I want to speak to Maude."
"no problem."
Lafayette immediately took out the phone bug.
In front of the round table, Jinbei's eyes moved slightly as he wanted to talk to Mod.
In front of everyone, Lafayette dialed Maud's number.
After a few seconds, the call was connected.
The image of the phone bug then became heroic, revealing several aspects of Maud's image.
Then, Maude's voice came out.
"Lafayette...is it done?"
"Hoho, luckily I did not disgrace my life."
"Well, then you can just come back. By the way, that flamingo should also be attending the meeting. Didn't he do anything to you?"
After hearing Mod's words, several veins popped up on Doflamingo's temples.
A strange look flashed in the eyes of the people at the same table.
Lafayette glanced at Doflamingo without any trace, and said calmly: "It's nothing serious."
"That's good, I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first."
"etc."
"What's wrong?"
"The Admiral wants to speak to you."
"oh?"
There was a hint of surprise in the voice coming from the phone bug.
Warring States took over the conversation at the right time and said: "Mode, regarding the Shichibukai..."
"If it's an instruction or something like that, just tell Lafayette directly."
Mod directly interrupted Seng Guo's words.
Warring States frowned slightly.
