Chapter 1: The Supreme Head of the World Government
World Government, Mary Joa!
With a sound of rolling, the elevators up and down the Red Clay Continent slowly stopped. Wearing a naval cloak, the burly naval marshal steel bones came out of it with great strides. Behind him were the naval general Buddha's Warring States and the Black-War Zefa who were also wearing a naval cloak.
"Marson Kong, what happened this time the five old stars suddenly called us over?" asked the Warring States Period.
"It should be about the Tianlong people patrolling the world!" Marshal Kong answered affirmatively.
"Can the Dragons can't stay in Marychoa quietly?" Zefa's face under his sunglasses had no expression. "Their plan to patrol the world will involve the strength of our navy and damage our hands..."
"Speak softly..." The Warring States Period interrupted Zefa's complaint. "From a certain perspective, the Tianlong people patrolled the four seas, which is also an opportunity for us to clean up the four seas."
"Hmph..." Zefa curled his lips indifferently.
"The Warring States Period was right," said Marshal Kong, who was walking in front of him in a deep voice. "For the world government, the Tianlong people inspected the four seas to appease the nobles of the franchised countries and show the dominance of the world government. For us, through this incident, we can apply for more resources from the world government to support the four seas' naval branches. Zefa, you still think too simply about the problem..."
"But because of their meaningless actions, do we naval soldiers fight to the death?"
"Zefa!" Marshal Kong stopped and turned his head to look at him seriously, "Remember, we are the righteous navy. In order to protect the ordinary people, it is our duty to bet on our lives to fight against those unforgivable pirates!"
"Yes, Marshal!" Zefa answered without hesitation, and then continued, "I just regret the sacrifice of our naval soldiers..."
"If you want to uphold justice, it will inevitably bring sacrifice. You are too kind, Zefa!" Marshal Kong turned around and continued to walk forward, "By the way, there is also your principle of not killing. Believe me, one day you will regret it because of your kindness and ruthlessness!"
Zefa did not answer, but followed Marshal Kong with a expressionless face.
Marshal Kong did not take the Warring States Period and Zefa to the World Government conference room or the office of the Five Old Stars, but directly bypassed the World Government office building and walked into a small garden behind the World Government building.
In a place to rest on the side of the garden, there were five elderly people sitting or standing, who seemed to be discussing something around a small round table.
These five old men with different appearances are the open supreme rulers of the entire pirate world, the supreme leader of the world government, and the five old stars!
"So, there is also the Warring States Period, come here..." An old man wearing a flat hat waved to them. The wig under his hat seemed to indicate his identity as a nobleman. "We are waiting for you."
"I've seen the five old stars..." Marshal Kong strode forward and saluted the five old men. The Warring States Period and Zefa also followed suit.
"Chu, I believe you should be clear about the purpose of our visit to you this time. It is about the matter of Charmaco and the others inspecting the world on behalf of the world government." A tall and goatee-bearded old man said to Marshal Kong, "This inspection represents the face of the entire world government, so no problems must arise."
"I understand," Marshal Kong replied calmly, "I have ordered the Navy branch of Sihai to start to clear the pirates in the jurisdiction to ensure that this inspection is not to be missed. However, Sihai is too broad, the Navy branch's equipment has always been very backward and its manpower is not very sufficient, so although certain achievements have been achieved at present,..."
"Just say it directly!" A bald old man dressed in Wano Country samurai and holding a Wano Country samurai sword in his arms interrupted Marshal Kaoru, "How much additional funds are required for the world government?"
"This is the budget I asked the Navy Equipment Department to make..." Kong took a document from the Warring States Period behind him and handed it to the small round table in front of the Five Old Stars with both hands.
"You just talk about the number..." The one who sat on the edge looked sharp and looked at the youngest five-old star directly pressed his hand on the document handed over by Kong. The other hand gently pulled his button, revealing a dazzling scar on his chest. "If it is not too outrageous, there will be no problem."
"Seventy-three billion Bailey!" Huo answered bluntly.
"Too many!" Sitting in the middle, his figure also looked at the roundest five old stars and rejected Sora's words without hesitation.
"Report to the Five Old Stars," Marshal Kong said in a sincere tone, "The weapons of the Navy of the Sihai Branch are now very behind. Many people in the Donghai Branch are still using the oldest flintlock rifles. They think that the entire army does not need to be dispatched in their daily operations, so if the equipment is rotated, they can barely deal with it. However, if we don't change their clothes for this operation and let them fight directly with the pirates on a large scale, it would be equivalent to sending them to death..."
"...If they die, the amount of pension will be greater than the money for dressing up!" Before the five old stars could speak, the Warring States Period, who was standing aside, had already responded in a sincere tone.
"What you said makes sense..." The five old stars dressed as a samurai in Wano Country nodded, "But seventy and three billion, this number is really too large."
Before Marshal Kong could speak, the Warring States general standing beside him had already answered this question in a respectful tone. "If Charmaco and the others did not patrol the four seas at the same time, but inspected separately, go to the East China Sea this year and go to the West China Sea next year, then the cost could be reduced."
"This is impossible," replied the five old stars with a round figure, "The inspection date has been set. If it is changed casually, it will affect the prestige of the world government."
"In this case," said the Warring States Period seriously, "then there is no way to reduce the dressing fee..."
"Okay, only 7.3 billion!" The youngest five old stars made the final decision, "But your navy must ensure that there is no mistake in the matter of Charmaco and the others patrolling the world."
"Please rest assured!" Marshal Kong replied in a deep voice, "I will personally arrange for the naval branch to change clothes and immediately clear the pirates in the jurisdiction. Moreover, during the inspection of Charmaco Saint and others this time, in addition to the most peaceful East China Sea, the West China Sea and the North China Sea, I will arrange for Lieutenant General Porusalino, Lieutenant General Sakaski and Lieutenant General Kuzan to accompany them, and they will definitely be foolproof."
