Chapter 648 The Navy's Retreat(1/2)
Sandasonia stepped forward and recited very skillfully: "His Majesty Shichibu Haiboa Hancock has special authority to challenge Skyler Grey, and the Navy and the World Government cannot stop it for any reason.
The time is determined by Boya Hancock, who has the special authority to challenge Skyler Gray once a year, and the location is based on Skylar Gray's location, once a year, and cannot be accumulated.
The special authority under this article applies from the time Boya Hancock becomes the King's Shichibukai until Boya Hancock withdraws from the King's Shichibukai, Skylar Gray withdraws from the Navy, or until the system of the King's Shichibukai is abolished.
Effective."
After saying that, Hancock looked at Flying Squirrel and said, "What? Does Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel's authority have a higher priority than the Shichibukai Regulations? Or is this what Lieutenant General Skyler meant?"
Flying Squirrel's face was ashen and he wanted to refute. After all, Hancock did not challenge Skyler last year. This year was already halfway through and Hancock showed no sign of taking action. Why would he take action at this time?
Moreover, this damn Shichibukai system will be abolished in one month. By then, Hancock will have no right to challenge Lieutenant General Skyler, but now
The flying squirrel snorted and said: "There are still nearly half a year left in this year. You can definitely launch the challenge after the World Conference. Why do you have to do it at this time?"
"Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, are you teaching me how to do things? I am going to exercise this privilege today. You just need to say whether you will let me do it or not?"
Hancock looked like he was bullying others, while Flying Squirrel's expression was very ugly. Even if Hancock challenged Lieutenant General Skyler, he would be beaten and there would be no possibility of victory.
But this is Hancock's right. It's her business to be beaten if she likes, and others have no right to stop it.
Such a ridiculous privilege made Flying Squirrel unable to refute. His chest kept rising and falling, obviously very annoyed, but in the end, he could only grit his teeth and say: "Then I wish you a smooth trip!"
After saying that, he turned his head and squeezed out the word "release" amidst the rebellious cheers of his team members.
Amidst the cheers of the navy, the warships moved out of the way, no longer blocking the Kuja Pirates' fleet, and allowed them to sail out of the windless zone, towards the direction of the Red Earth Continent, which is also the direction of the New World.
At this time, the members of the Flying Squirrel seemed to have regained their senses. Many of them had ugly looks on their faces, and some even wanted to step forward to explain.
However, the Flying Squirrel waved his hand to stop them. This group of people still need to go through hell to resist Hancock's temptation, but not now.
Now, what he had to do was report what had just happened to the headquarters. He was convinced by Hancock's move out of His Majesty's Shichibukai Privileges and Lieutenant General Skyler.
But that doesn’t mean that the Navy can only let Boya Hancock take any actions, and he doesn’t have authority, which doesn’t mean that higher-ups don’t have authority.
Moreover, Vice Admiral Schuyler is in the new world. As long as Hancock is within the two thousand nautical miles controlled by the Navy, he can really challenge Vice Admiral Skyler.
Then Lieutenant General Schuyler only needs to injure Hancock, and the injury will not heal for ten days and a half, then everything will be easy to handle. If Hancock intends to enter Totland, then he will besieged once
.
Thinking of this, Flying Squirrel quickly dialed the phone number, and after transferring the call, he explained the situation to He He. He did not blame Flying Squirrel, after all, He had no better solution for a while.
After all, it is still uncertain whether the Shichibukai gathered spontaneously or accidentally, or were planned by a leader, but no matter what it is, strong obstruction will definitely not work.
Either way, if the Navy pays too much attention to the Shichibukai Conference, it will reveal some information that should not be revealed. If it is the latter, it may also alarm the four people who have already returned to Totland.
If it was really planned by someone, then they have already guessed that the Shichibukai system may be abolished, but after the abolition, the world government's attitude towards them is still uncertain.
If the Navy launches an attack on Nine Snakes at this time, it will undoubtedly be the most dangerous signal. It is equivalent to directly telling the current Shichibukai that once the system is abolished, they will be captured or even killed by the Navy.
In this way, those people gathered in Totland who may not have reached an agreement will unite. At this time, the situation that Sakaski and Rosinandi are most worried about will appear.
Therefore, even if it has sent out unfavorable signals like Boya Hancock, it should be terminated at this time, leaving the Shichibukai unable to figure out the attitude of the Navy and the World Government.
For others, having potential threats is enough for them to unite, but for those Shichibukai, this is not necessarily the case.
Especially Katakuri and Mihawk, both of them have lofty ideals. Katakuri is the emperor of the new world, so naturally it is impossible for him to surrender himself to others.
As for Mihawk, although he has not established his own force and is far from being the "boss", he has never joined any force.
Over the years, whether it is the navy, pirates or those forces in the underground world that walk in the middle ground between black and white, they have invited Mihawk to join them more than once.
But Mihawk has always refused. Even if he was willing to become the King of the Shichibukai, Sengoku used some means to make him choose between his two friends.
Even with this somewhat "cheap" trick, Mihawk never really fulfilled the obligations of a Shichibukai after he became the King.
It is almost impossible to take such a person under his command.
If Mihawk really wants to join a certain force in exchange for stability after the abolition of the Shichibukai system, then the force formed by the original Shichibukai alliance is not the best choice.
He can definitely join the navy. As long as Mihawk dares to speak, the navy will dare to ask for people. Unless Mihawk first feels that it is impossible for the navy to accept him, he may consider other forces.
As for other forces, the best choice is not the reorganized Shichibukai, but the Red-haired Pirates established by his friend Red-haired Shanks.
Of course, this does not mean that Mihawk has no possibility of joining other forces, or forming a force with other Shichibukai. It is just that the possibility is low, unless there are other factors.
He didn't have the straightforward worries like Sakaski, and had her own thoughts, but that didn't mean she didn't pay attention to this matter. After all, the first to get the best was the first.
The reorganized Shichibukai may not be Mihawk's best choice, but it is the closest choice to him. Once he was still staying in Totland, the signals sent by the Navy and the World Government made him feel insecure.
There is still the possibility that he will follow other Shichibukai to reorganize their forces, so he has to guard against it.
As for the remaining people of the Shichibukai, Hakuna, nothing will happen to them after the abolition of the Shichibukai system, unless the Ryugu Kingdom breaks with the World Government at the World Conference.
As long as the Ryugu Kingdom maintains its relationship with the World Government, and the Shichibukai system is abolished in a few hundred years, the most likely outcome for Haku is to disband his own Fish-Man Pirates.
Then the pirates with the fish-man pirate group seamlessly joined the escort team of Ryugu Kingdom.
There is no need for Bartholomew Bear to worry. After all, he still has the entire Kingdom of Sobel implicated in him, and it is impossible to follow someone like Katakuri who turned from pirates to the Shichibukai.
The two people who were the least worried about He had no intention of setting off for Totland. The navy's surveillance today was not just aimed at Nine Snakes.
The Ryugu Kingdom and the Sobel Kingdom were also under surveillance. Haku was really working hard on the reconstruction of the Ryugu Kingdom and the World Conference three days later, and had no intention of leaving.
Although Xiong did not appear in the Sobel Kingdom, there was no news about him in the New World, and the navy's garrison in the Sobel Kingdom was a signal to the bear, which Crane believed he could understand.
Apart from this, the remaining Cavendish is just a child. He appears in Totland only because he lives in Totland and does not pose any threat.
As for the final Bucky, Bucky and Crane valued him more than Sakaski and Rosinandi. In the past, people always said that Germa was a warmonger and Kaido of the Beasts was a warmonger.
But in He's opinion, in this era, the only one who has the ability to crown this title should be Bucky.
How terrible is Bucky's intervention and influence in this era? Let's put it this way, in a war or battle between the alliance countries or some small and medium-sized forces, both parties may be mercenaries under Bucky's banner.
When a battle breaks out, both sides may stop taking action and just stand there, waiting for the forces that hired them to call Bucky, and then decide the outcome of the war based on the bargaining chips of both sides.
And the higher the bid, the more dangerous it is and the more beneficial it is to Bucky.
Because the higher the bid, the higher the other party's follow-up price must be, which also reveals the message that these two franchise countries/powers are very rich, and Bucky will not only charge the fee of the party with the higher bid.
The side that bids less will not only lose the war, but Bucky will also know all about his family fortune, and he will also take all of it.
At the same time, the franchise country with the high bid will be inexplicably known to others. For a certain war, he not only used up his own troops, but also spent a lot of money to hire Bucky's mercenaries.
At this time, others will take over the victorious alliance, and then use less money and fewer troops to achieve a smooth war.
Bucky doesn't have much after-sales service. When the war is over and the money and goods are gone, the cooperation is terminated. After that, the customer is involved in a war again, and Bucky will not maintain it unless the customer continues to pay.
And if you continue to pay, the one with the highest price will continue to win, and then you will be left with a franchise country that pays a high price, but is no longer wealthy.
This vicious cycle has allowed Bucky's express company to develop into a giant in just over a year.
Because there are too many wars in this era, wars between franchised countries, wars between franchised countries and the revolutionary army, wars between franchised countries and pirates, and wars between franchised countries and underground forces/mafia.
This special era gave birth to Bucky and his Bucky Express Company. In another era, even if it was only ten years ago, or even five years ago, this kind of thing would not have happened.
In He's view, Bucky and his express company are not the most threatening now, because Bucky Express can only intervene in some grassroots wars.
Because there are not many high-end combat forces in Bucky Express. At most, there are some people from 5, and the number of these people is not too many.
Most of the prisoners who escaped from 5 or 6 were captured or even killed during the clean-up after the war and the Kuzan operation.
As for prisoners 4 and below, the threat level is not high. They may have an overwhelming advantage in the war between the participating countries, but they cannot fight a hard battle.
But once Bucky Express Company joins forces with the Charlotte family, Mihawk and even the Nine Snakes Pirates, its threat level will be as high as that of the Revolutionary Army.
This world cannot afford the destruction of one more behemoth like the Revolutionary Army.
After telling Flying Squirrel to keep his distance and continue to follow the Nine Snakes Pirates, He hung up the phone and came to Sakaski's Marshal's office.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”
"Come in."
Sakaski put the speech in his hand back into the drawer, looked at He who walked in, and asked: "Lieutenant General He, is there any new news?"
He nodded and said: "Nine Snakes have also set off for the new world, and according to what Flying Squirrel said, Hancock brought almost everyone in Amazon Lily with him."
Upon hearing the news, Sakaski raised his hand to cover his right eyelid, which was beating continuously, and said, "Didn't the Flying Squirrel stop them? Or did Nine Snakes attack them?"
He shook his head and said: "Hancock used her privilege to challenge Skyler. Flying Squirrel was worried that forcing a stop might further attract the attention of the Shichibukai, so she let it go.
But I asked him to follow Nine Snakes to prevent them from using the excuse of challenging Skyler to sail to Totland."
"so"
Sakaski rubbed his eyelids again, and then said: "I understand, so, Lieutenant General He, please help me contact Skyler and implement Hancock's challenge to her.
I have already spoken to her on the phone this morning. If I contact her again, I might be offended. Also, you can also confirm the location of Lieutenant General Skyler and the Zhanye detachment.
If the Kuja Pirates are not heading to Lieutenant General Skyler's location, ask the communications department to assist, quickly cut off Kuja's communication signals with the outside world, and arrest them directly."
Hearing Sakaski's soft and hard attitude, He was a little bit dumbfounded. When dealing with Skyler and Zhanye detachment, Sakaski was extremely soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing them when he breathed.
But facing other people, even Amazon Lily, a force where everyone has the ability to be armed and domineering, can easily say such extremely strong words as arrest them directly.
What is wrong with this navy? Not only Sakaski, but even He feels an extremely headache when he thinks of contacting Skyler.
But since Sakaski gave the order, He had to carry it out. She nodded and asked again: "By the way, how did you say you wanted to contact Ace and Luo this morning?"
Hearing this, Sakaski finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As Lieutenant General Skyler predicted, Totland did not take action against Ace and the others, and even received them like guests.
But there is also bad news, that is, Ace said that the Revolutionary Army will not stay in Totland for too long, and Sabo will leave after tonight, and it will be difficult to find clues about the Revolutionary Army."
