Chapter 812
Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire
Are You Polite?
Zatanossen, private hot spring bath.
âHuâ¦â
In a private large bath, Kuro placed his hands flat on the side of the bath and exhaled.
Beside him, there was also a small exquisite table with sake and wine cups on it.
On the other side of the small table was Smoker, who was doing the same thing as him.
Behind them, two maids were attentively massaging their shoulders.
The two of them picked up the wine cup filled with sake at the same time and took a sip, looking comfortable.
âHey, Kuroâ¦â
Placing the wine cup on the wooden table, Smoker said, âI heard that you seem to be against Fujitora abolishing Shichibukai.â
âAh⦠thatâs right.â
Kuro nodded and looked up at the maid. âPlease be heavy, I am tired.â
âYes.â The maid responded gently.
Sigh, the evil capital feudal society.
As long as you have money, you can do anything.
If this societyâs martial strength is still fullâ¦
âWhy do you object?â
Smoker said in a deep voice: âAre you the same as those old diehards? You think that Shichibukai can bring us help.â
Kuro rolled his eyes. âDonât curse, what do you mean by old stubborn? You donât have a clear objection yourself, you know it very well in your heart. Although they are very annoying, they are indeed useful in maintaining balance. Whatâs wrong with letting pirates deal with pirates? Besides, you should have heard my proposition.â
âCan that claim really be realized? I donât think the higher-ups will delegate power to us,â Smoker asked.
âWho knows.â Kuro shrugged. âI just proposed and then someone agreed. Itâs as simple as that. Whether it works or not depends on God. Smoker, although we maintain stability and peace, we have to accept reality. You know that Big Mom is starting to have contact with Kaido.â
Smoker nodded solemnly. âIf two YonkÅ (Four Emperors) really make contact, the world will become chaotic.â
Kuro said, âThey used to be in the same boat. Itâs not about their relationship. They are really in the same boat. You have heard the rumor, right?â
Smokerâs eyes became a little gloomy and he said in a deep voice, âLox⦠I heard Tina mention it.â
âItâs good that they know, so the best way is for Shichibukai to stay. But in the current Shichibukai, except for that one person, they may not go up if something really happens. Pirates are pirates after all, so the best result is for us to choose a new reliable person.â
Kuro hooked his hand and two cigars flew out of his clothes. One fell into his hand and the other floated in front of Smoker.
âHey, you took my cigarette again!â Smoker said angrily.
âDonât mind it, smoking some bad stuff once in a while can also change the taste.â Kuro bit the cigar and hooked his hand, the lighter flew over and he held it in his hand and lit the cigar.
Are you polite!
Smoker pulled the corners of his mouth and bit the cigar. He snatched the lighter from Kuro and lit it.
âLetâs pick someoneâ¦â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Smoker exhaled a mouthful of smoke and looked up at the smoke ball condensed above. âIf itâs really possible, I want to recommend a candidate. He should be able to do it.â
In the smoke, a cheerful head wearing a straw hat appeared.
Among the pirates, there were not many who he had a good impression of. It could even be said that there were very few.
âThe candidate you recommended?â
Kuro looked at him for a while and said, âItâs not Straw Hat, is it?â
Smoker was silent for a moment, nodded and smiled. âBut he probably wonât. After all, he is the one who wants to be Pirate King.â
âItâs good that you know. Not to mention that you wonât come in, even if you do, that kind of big head will turn the world upside down.â
Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke. âIf we can really pass, letâs talk about this.â
⦠.
Mary Joa.
Pangu Palace.
In the conference hall where the World Conference is held.
In the huge round table sat the kings of fifty countries.
Among the many participating countries, except for those who are very necessary to participate in the World Conference, most of them are chosen by turns. After all, there are many participating countries and not many seats.
But basically, it is the big countries that lead the small countries to fight for their own interests to get their own demands.
The World Conference this time was similar.
But this kind of thing has been going on for two days.
At this moment, these kings are all silent because they have already confronted their demands in the past two days and have temporarily fallen into stagnation. This stagnation period is just the time for them to talk about world policy.
âI have a proposal.â
King Cobra of Alabasta suddenly stood up and stared at the many kings and said, âAbout Shichibukai, I have an idea. The current Shichibukai is not as prestigious as before, and Shichibukai itself will cause disaster to the country. My country, Alabasta, and King David, your country, Dressrosa, has also suffered the disaster of Shichibukai, so my idea is to completely abolish the Shichibukai system!â
âAbolish Shichibukai?â
A few kings of other countries nodded. âItâs not impossible. The current Shichibukai is indeed not as prestigious as before. Itâs useless to keep it. We have even increased some of the funding. Itâs better to cut it.â
âI agree. They canât provide protection now. Straw Hat has defeated a lot of Shichibukai. Now the pirates are not afraid of Shichibukai at all.â
âYeah, Shichibukai without any power, isnât he just an ordinary pirate?â
Cobra listened to these kings and stared at David.
In his opinion, this âConquest Kingâ would agree.
After all, the âtraumaâ that Dressrosa suffered was much stronger than Alabasta.
âI donât agree!â
As many kings gradually joined the formation, a voice suddenly sounded.
Under Cobraâs shocked eyes, David stood up and said: âShichibukai cannot be abolished!â
âKing David!â
Cobra said in a deep voice: âHave you forgotten the disaster of your country?â
âNo, but that is just an example. It cannot radiate to all Shichibukai.â
David said, âThe Shichibukai is an important means to maintain the balance of the sea and a guarantee against YonkÅ (Four Emperors). If it is abolished rashly, it will only add to the stability of the world. It is not something that you can abolish just because you want to, King Cobra.â
As he spoke, he looked around and said, âBut the current Shichibukai is indeed not as powerful as before. In contrast, they are more harmful than beneficial. But I have a proposal. Why donât we re-elect Shichibukai and let the experienced people make a choice and give the power of choosing Shichibukai to the experienced Marines from the World Government. They know pirates very well and can definitely choose people with enough combat power and prestige to continue to maintain our sea balance.â
