Chapter 19 The Shichibukai System Comes Out
"Hancock, come with me to practice in the forest!"
Levi woke up Hancock early the next morning. At this moment, Hancock was still too shy to open his eyes and just nodded lightly in response.
"Boss Levi, you go and practice. I will practice on Nine Snakes Island." To Levi's surprise, Tezoro was unwilling to practice with them.
"It's better to practice on Nine Snakes. After all, who can bear to be fed dog food every day!" Gloriosa casually came to the side with a magical finishing blow.
Hancock's face suddenly turned red to the roots of his ears. Since Grandma Gloriosa's words had gone so far, Levi couldn't say anything more, so he took some daily necessities and went to the forest with Hancock to practice.
In Levi's previous life, Levi had a crush on Hancock, the most beautiful woman in the pirate world. As a Shichibukai, the empress seemed to be the weakest. Now Hancock is Levi's woman, how could Levi allow this to happen.
He plans to hone his Armament Haki in this forest. As a member of Nine Snakes, Hancock also has the inheritance of Nine Snakes about armed colors. The two of them practicing together can promote Hancock's practice.
Levi told Hancock all about the way he developed the sweet fruit in his previous life. He planned to let Hancock specialize in kicking skills. After all, Hancock had a pair of naturally long legs and couldn't let them go to waste.
While Levi was practicing, news came from the World Government that made everyone uneasy.
The World Government will select seven privileged pirates as the government's spokesperson among the pirates. The spokesperson must have catastrophic destructive power and huge combat power that rivals the country. Only those with high reputation or high combat power can. Only the pirates who scare the pirate gang may be selected as Shichibukai. As the government's spokesman, Shichibukai has legal rights to plunder.
This news immediately made all the pirates go crazy. The reason why the pirates went to sea was for two reasons. One was for fame, and the other was for profit. As long as they become Shichibukai, everything they want will be available to them.
"What on earth were the Five Elders thinking?" Sengoku roared angrily in his office.
Sengoku has been catching pirates on this sea for fifty or sixty years, and he has been running on the sea all his life. From the pirate overlord Rocks, to the later pirate king Roger, and then to the Four Emperors in front of him, he knows the virtues of a pirate better than the Five Elders.
Most of the pirates are greedy people, and there are many ambitious people among them. If Shichibukai is opened, I am afraid that Marine will sit back and watch the rise of seven weakened versions of the Four Emperors.
This is a bad idea that couldn't be worse.
"Garp, stop eating senbei in the office! Think of a way," Sengoku growled.
"This is an order from above. What can I do? I'd better eat senbei. Today, I will challenge to eat all the senbei in one bite." As soon as Garp finished speaking, he took the pack of senbei in his arms. He poured it into his mouth, and Garp choked and rolled his eyes.
"You! You are such an old person."
Staff Officer He handed Garp a glass of water angrily and rolled her eyes at him. As a partner for many years, she was also speechless about Garp's weird personality.
"What do you think?" Garp asked the third Admiral sitting next to him.
"Don't ask me, Marshal Sengoku, I will do whatever you say!" Kizaru spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.
"What did you say just now? I'm sorry I fell asleep just now." Aokiji moved his blindfold on his head with an innocent look on his face.
"Pirates are the embodiment of evil, and they must all be eliminated," Akainu said simply, and at the same time, to show his determination, lava was rising from his fist, and he smashed the table in front of him with one punch.
"My mahogany furniture!" Sengoku's heart bleeds with pain. This is a huge mahogany wood that he spent a lot of effort to obtain. The furniture in his office is all made of that mahogany wood. For a moment, Sengoku was heartbroken. Self.
"Xiaohe, tell me what you think."
As Marine's staff officer, Vice Admiral Crane has always been Marine's think tank. Most of Marine's policies include Crane's staff.
Hearing Sengoku ask her, Crane Vice Admiral pondered for a moment and said, "This is an order personally given by the Five Elders. We cannot change it at all. All we can do is to try to select some people with low ambitions and strong strength to inherit Shichibukai. At the same time, guard against some ambitious people."
"That's all it can do!" Sengoku said with a headache.
Although the top management of Marine was very troubled by this, the pirates were happy. One by one, pirates began to focus on the position of Shichibukai. For their own reputation, countless pirates began to make trouble on the sea and caused horrific tragedies one after another. The entire Marine system was overwhelmed.
