The fact that the Navy invited Lao Cai to become the Shichibukai had nothing to do with the leader of a country, but the Babao Navy was the official pirate force of the Flower Country.
Lord Xiaolong believed that if he really fooled the navy into thinking that he and the pirates were incompatible, let alone whether the former general "Senshi" who was famous for his "wise general" would believe it, Lieutenant General Ron in front of him, It's not that easy to deal with.
Therefore, the leader of the Xiaolong Kingdom simply put on a posture and greeted them with national gifts, showing that he attached great importance to the Shichibukai issue.
After a series of tedious etiquette, Ron followed Xiaolong to the palace.
The Kingdom of Flowers has the atmosphere of the Braided Dynasty. The carved beams and painted buildings are unique in the world of One Piece, making Ron feel very familiar. For this reason, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, showing admiration from time to time.
This attitude was noticed by King Xiaolong, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The man in front of me is the notorious "Shichibukai Killer"!
The purpose of Sengoku sending Ron here was undoubtedly to demonstrate, telling them that the Navy valued the Shichibukai but was also capable of destroying the Flower Country.
For this reason, King Xiaolong has always been uneasy, fearing that Ron would bully others when he came up.
Considering the violent tempers of the eight people in the palace, there might be a fight!
However, Ron's behavior was so normal at the moment, which gave King Xiaolong some reassurance.
"Lieutenant General Ron, please!"
In front of the main hall door, Lord Xiaolong raised his hand slightly, inviting Ron to enter together.
Ron, who was immersed in the familiar architectural styles around him, suddenly woke up and raised his eyebrows.
Yes…
This is not the earth after all. The king of a country is personally involved, which is really in line with the setting of a king in the world of One Piece... I'm talking about you, Rikudold III, who takes the lead in plowing the fields!
Putting aside the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, Ron followed King Xiaolong into the main hall. As soon as he entered the door, eight eyes fell on him neatly.
The auras of these eight people are not weak, and there are not a few who master the domineering domineering aura. A faint sense of oppression envelopes their bodies, and the invisible air gradually solidifies.
Ron was convinced, it would be better to be surprised... They were the pillars of the Eight Treasure Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers.
Not the eight treasure navy, but the eight treasure navy.
The Kingdom of Flowers has a total of eight pirate groups with official backgrounds, namely the Ipho Navy to the Eight Treasure Navy.
Each pirate group has about a thousand people, and it is almost a nationwide effort to create a pirate team. They plunder, fight, and protect the country, and are the most important part of the Flower Kingdom.
It can be said that the entire country of Flower Country was raised by pirates, but on the surface they maintained their status as a member of the World Government to avoid being surrendered by the navy.
The barren land and sad environment gave birth to this deformed structure, and Ron understood.
Human beings will do anything to survive.
"Lieutenant General Ron, please..."
King Xiaolong was wiping cold sweat and leading the way, cursing secretly in his heart.
He was not a fool. Badongliang's unabashed domineering aura undoubtedly wanted to give Ron a blow and tell the navy that they were not easy to mess with.
If Ron had a bad attitude, it would be understandable, but now Ron has a good attitude... Didn't he deliberately stir up trouble
However, he underestimated Ron. He had seen the domineering power of Rayleigh and Shanks. In Ron's eyes, these mottled and sparse overlord colors were not as threatening as a sea tower stone.
Barking wild dogs will make people angry, but snarling ants will only make people ignore...
With a calm and overbearing look, Ron came to the right hand side of the main seat and sat down. He raised his head and glanced around slowly.
The souls of the dead suddenly emerged in the hearts of those who were watched by him, as if they had seen their own death scenes, and the domineering energy in the void suddenly became chaotic!
Ron is a little funny, but he can't stand just one look and a hint of murderous intent... Is he worthy of being called "King's Qualification"
"Immortal Lieutenant General Ron, he truly deserves his reputation!"
A middle-aged man with pigtails tied behind his head and dressed like a warrior from the Qing Dynasty admired him deeply and was the first to put away his domineering look.
Others noticed this and quickly followed suit and sat in their seats honestly.
"Ahem, I have nothing else to do with calling everyone here today."
Seeing that his momentum had softened, King Xiaolong quickly spoke: "Lieutenant General Ron has come all the way to serve as his host... We'll discuss anything tomorrow!"
"yes!"
The eight naval leaders, who were both strong and weak, immediately clasped their hands and bowed to Lord Xiaolong while sitting on their seats.
The banquet began, and with the king speaking out, Ba Dongliang, as an official force, naturally did not dare to make any mistakes.
Several pillars were already supportive of Lao Cai becoming a Shichibukai, so they took the initiative to chat with Ron, and the atmosphere became heated.
After a few glasses of wine, both sides began to talk to each other. Taking this opportunity, Ron finally understood some of the situations of the eight treasure water armies.
As mentioned before, the eight treasure armies are all pirate forces officially organized by the Kingdom of Flowers, but the eight pirate groups each perform their own duties. In addition to the shared robbery mission to maintain domestic expenses, each navy also has Different responsibilities.
The First Treasure Navy to the Three Treasure Navy are an important part of the Flower Kingdom's defense force. They will almost never go too far from the Flower Kingdom every time they go to sea.
After all, the countries surrounding the Kingdom of Flowers are not very friendly towards the Kingdom of Flowers. If the enemy seizes the opportunity and takes advantage of the situation, it will be too late to return aid.
The Four Treasure Navy to the Six Treasure Navy were mainly responsible for plundering throughout the Western Sea. The remaining Seven Treasure Navy and Eight Treasure Navy were free men and served as mercenaries most of the time. During the Qingjiao Commandery Period, they even went to The Grand Line has made a circle, and its combat effectiveness is the strongest.
Wu Jixiang... the eleventh generation pillar of the Sanbao Navy said this after drinking wine.
"The overall strength of the Seven Treasures and Eight Treasures is the strongest, but who among us is the strongest, of course it has to be Huo Haidongliang of the Second Treasure Navy!"
He couldn't compliment the people from the Kingdom of Flowers on their ability to name names. After hearing what he said, Ron turned his eyes and looked at the first middle-aged man with braided hair on his left.
The latter felt Ron's gaze and raised his glass to signal from afar.
After drinking, Ron said calmly: "I heard that Qingjiao, the twelfth generation pillar of the Babao Navy, has not officially passed on the pillar position to Lao Cai. Why are you not here today?"
It's good that Lao Cai is the unofficial Thirteenth Generation Pillar, but that will have to wait until he officially becomes a Shichibukai and sits in the Kingdom of Flowers as a link with the government before Qingjiao will pass the position to him.
Today, the mainstay of the Babao Navy is still Qingjiao, but only Lao Cai was present.
"Uh... this..."
Ron's voice was not loud, but today everyone's attention was on him. Even a slight slap would be carefully studied by others to make sure it was not a signal.
Now that I heard him ask this question, the banquet suddenly became quiet.
Wu Jixiang was speechless and his expression was stagnant.
Taking into account the expressions of the group of people, Ron's lips formed a cold smile.
"I want benefits, but I don't want to lose face... There is no such good thing in the world, right?"
"Or is it that the Flower Country thinks the navy is weak and can be bullied and doesn't take us seriously?!"
Boom!
Without any movement, the low table in front of Ron sank and broke away, and the drinks spilled onto the floor.
The expressions on the faces of Dongliang and King Xiaolong immediately turned ugly, and some of them even showed signs of taking action.
They fell out in public at the banquet. The navy was really bullying!
Ignoring the angry or surprised expressions around him, Ron played with the wine glass in his hand and turned a blind eye to their anger.
There is nothing wrong with him doing this, and it makes sense to take it to the Warring States Period.
The biggest unknown factor in this mission is Qingjiao, who has a long-standing feud with the Navy. The Navy needs Qingjiao to express its stance.
Moreover, the latter's behavior of taking out Luffy's anger when he couldn't defeat Garp was very distasteful to Ron.
It's not that he believes in not bringing harm to his family, but the latter's behavior of diverting hatred away from Garp because he didn't dare to attack Garp. It's so cowardly that it makes Ron feel sick!
If he dared to kill Luffy in front of Garp, or even just kill a few ordinary soldiers, and go head-to-head with Garp, even if he lost to death, Ron would praise him as a true man.
But he didn't dare...
For such a shameless person, Ron would not let him go on purpose.
The leader of the Xiaolong Kingdom may have been concerned about the hatred between Qingjiao and the navy so he didn't let him come to the banquet, but as a navy, what he wanted was the attitude of the entire Flower Kingdom!
Green peppers are no exception!
In the past, the navy would not have been so forceful in inviting the Shichibukai, but things are different now!
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more solemn, the leader of the Erbao Navy named Huo Hai and the leader of the Xiaolong Kingdom looked at each other and were about to speak.
At this time, Lao Cai, the client who had been acting as a spectator and the 13th generation pillar of the Babao Navy, suddenly took the lead.
"My grandfather went to Capone Island on a mission a few days ago, so he can't be here today."
