Chapter 488: Added the list of Seven Wuhai(1/2)
The first day of the third week of the World Conference, today is the day of the Shichibukai Conference. Skyler came to the conference room early, but there was someone earlier than her.
That was McKenzie, Skyler's official host at the Shichibukai Conference. After McKinsey saw Skyler, he immediately said enthusiastically: "Lieutenant General Skyler!"
"Wheat? It's so early."
Skyler nodded. When McKinsey heard that Skyler still remembered him, he smiled instantly. Skyler looked at his obviously tailor-made suit and said with a smile: "You are so developed, Wheat.
"
"Thanks to you, I now have a good job in the system."
McKinsey did not deny it, but directed the credit to Schuyler, and Schuyler did not take McKinsey's good words seriously.
Although McKinsey is one of the few officials in the world government who can work peacefully with Schuyler, it is impossible to get promoted because of this. This may be the reason, but it is not the main reason.
"Congratulations, what aspect of work are you responsible for now?"
Skyler took his position, and McKinsey quickly ran to the side to pour tea for Skyler. After hearing Skyler's question, McKinsey smiled and replied:
"Now the people in charge of human affairs are mainly from the Tianlong people. As you know, now that there are no slaves, the demand for service personnel from the Tianlong people is constantly increasing, and every now and then they will ask for a new batch of waiters.
And those CPs! Their work ability is really poor and we can’t do anything well. We, the errands, have to finish things off for them.”
McKinsey did not show any respect for the Tianlong people, and even used words to slander CP. This was not because he was really brave, nor was he really dissatisfied with these people, but because the person he was talking to was Skyler.
Picking what others want to hear and watching what they say are all required courses at McKinsey. After all, his current job is to watch people, so he naturally knows what Skyler wants to hear.
After hearing McKinsey's words, even though he knew what he said deliberately, Skyler still smiled. After all, who doesn't like someone who has the same opinion as him?
"Wheat, keep working hard and try to take over CP too!"
Skyler said half-jokingly. After McKinsey took the tea and handed it to Skyler, he smiled and said: "It's not in the same system. It's too difficult."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and then began to work on the docking. However, when Skyler handed over the issues that the Navy wanted to discuss at this Shichibukai meeting, McKinsey felt a little headache.
The seven Shichibukai have arrived, what do you mean by discussing the candidate list for the new Shichibukai?
However, McKinsey did not say it. After all, he was just here to help Schuyler. He could not overstep his authority, let alone deny the decision of Skyler and the Navy.
Schuyler also said that except for this one topic, all other issues will be completed by McKinsey.
In fact, a lot of problems have accumulated in the past four years, and there are still some things that need to be tried, such as... asking the Shichibukai to help fight against the revolutionary army.
But this is just a passing topic, not important. It is the CP's job to fight against the revolutionary army. At the Shichibukai Conference, the Navy only needs to express its position and prove that they have discussed it.
As for whether the issue is passed, or whether it is implemented after it is passed, or how much energy is used to implement it, that is the problem of the Shichibukai itself and has nothing to do with the navy.
After a simple handover between the two, the first Shichibukai arrived. Haku walked into the conference room and found that there were only Skyler and McKinsey, and Mihawk was not there. He breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he was almost cut into fish. Such a shadow cannot be repaired even if it takes a lifetime.
He didn't even realize his reaction. He just walked in, breathed a sigh of relief, and said hello to Skyler and McKinsey.
Haku is considered the most "obedient" Shichibukai. He is responsible for the mission of the Ryugu Kingdom and has been "working" on Fishman Island, which is now the site of the Ryugu Kingdom.
But maybe even the World Government doesn't know that this person is a member of the Revolutionary Army that the World Government hates most. Not only Haku, but also the bear and Katakuri are "affiliated" with the Revolutionary Army.
Skyler suspected that if it weren't for the fact that the Amazon Lily Kingdom did not allow men to enter, Dorag would have gone to the Amazon to promote his ideas.
As for the rest, Crocodile was beaten by Dorag long before the Revolutionary Army was officially established, and it is estimated that he will never join the Revolutionary Army in this life.
Moria is too weak, and he lives in the Triangle Sea every day. He survives by robbing pirates who accidentally enter the Triangle Sea, and he has no intention of joining the revolutionary army.
And the rest of Mihawk... is just too transcendent.
According to Mihawk himself, he just thought that after joining the navy, he could compete with the swordsmen of the navy, so he joined. Although he occasionally attacked pirates, he also... also attacked the navy.
Such a person, regardless of whether he is willing to join the Revolutionary Army, even if he is willing to join, it is estimated that he will not do anything that can help the Revolutionary Army until he has cleared all the swordsmen in the Revolutionary Army.
Moreover, even if he clears the level once, Mihawk will probably consider whether these people have made progress. If they have made progress, he will probably play it again.
Therefore, it is not certain whether Mihawk will be a good helper for the Revolutionary Army, and Drago should have also gone to find him. Since he has not joined, there is no hope.
After all, in the Revolutionary Army, the only swordsman Mihawk might like is Koushiro, who has not fully joined the Revolutionary Army.
Koushiro is not a practical swordsman. Perhaps compared to other people, his swordsmanship can allow him to defeat the enemy. But from the perspective of a top swordsman like Mihawk, Koushiro... is a pity.
If Koushiro has more actual combat experience, then maybe his achievements can be further improved, and by then, his attraction to Mihawk may also be stronger.
Just when Skyler thought about the "rebellious guys" in the Shichibukai, Mihawk, who was always punctual, also walked in. When he saw Haku, Haku's body trembled subconsciously.
However, Mihawk did not say hello to him. Instead, he turned his gaze to Skyler, pressed the brim of his hat lightly, and then found a seat and sat down directly.
Then other people also arrived one after another. Xiong, Moria, Katakuri, and Hancock all arrived before the meeting was agreed. Crocodile was not late this time, but he arrived on time.
Taking a merciless step, Crocodile scratched the wall with the golden hook on his hand, made a somewhat harsh sound, and slowly walked into the conference room.
Skyler had no intention of talking to him. When the time came, he looked at McKinsey, and then nodded. McKinsey also stood up and started the meeting.
Since the Shichibukai system has been perfected and the operation of the entire system has stabilized, there are not many things that need to be discussed at the meeting.
Today's meeting started much the same as the last one, which was to recite the contribution of each person in the Shichibukai to the world government, and then secretly rank them.
Encourage those with high rankings to keep up their efforts, and then imply that those with low rankings should work hard to become stronger.
But this time it’s a bit more embarrassing. Perhaps it’s because there are no more outstanding swordsmen among the new pirates who have gone out to sea. Therefore, Mihawk has cut down 16 branches in the past four years.
But fortunately, it didn't cause much impact. It was just a competition with the swordsmen in the branch. Although the navy swordsman was injured, it was an honor for every swordsman to fight against a swordsman like Mihawk.
Therefore, the Navy had no intention of holding Mihawk accountable, but intentionally or unintentionally asked him to shift his energy to killing pirates. However, judging from Mihawk's appearance, he probably didn't listen.
After all, the reason why he joined the Shichibukai was to cut down the navy in a reasonable and legal manner, and he was already very committed to leaving a living room for those who wanted to save face. If he gave in any more, it would be better not to fight at all.
Unlike Mihawk, Katakuri, who suffered the same fate four years ago, received completely opposite opinions at this year's meeting. After all, the joint construction of a shipyard with the Kingdom of Dressrosa and the Kingdom of Dontata has already received approval.
Approval from the Five Old Stars.
Therefore, regardless of his original intention of building the shipyard, it is now for the purpose of stabilizing the new world, promoting commercial activities, and promoting economic globalization, and must be highly praised.
Katakuri was dumbfounded by these compliments, and the others were almost the same. After all, no one expected that someone could praise someone like this, and it sounded very lofty.
If you just listen to the reviews, people who don't know would probably think that Katakuri wiped out all the pirates in the New World, and then allowed the caravans of the participating countries to do business safely.
But Katakuri himself also knew that he had only divided several islands, some to plant trees for the Dontata clan, some to build docks, and some to transform into warehouses.
He himself did not even participate in this process, but many of his younger brothers and sisters did participate in the past. After all, the Charlotte family was more or less a shareholder, so it would be inappropriate not to attract people's attention.
But in fact, he was able to receive so many and such high praises without even scoring a single Pele, which made him a little doubtful.
Is there any benefit or trick in that shipyard that he doesn't even know about? Otherwise, how could it be worthy of such special praise from the World Government?
Of course, Katakuri didn't question it, after all, these were nice words.
After talking about Katakuri, Haku was also praised. He contributed to the relocation of Ryugu Kingdom, and later stationed at Fishman Island to assist the navy in completing the transformation of Fishman Island.
Not only that, after the transformation of Fish-Man Island was completed, Haku continued to stay on Fish-Man Island and devoted a lot of energy to the later stability maintenance work.
Although it did not do a good job in exterminating pirates, it did a good job in collecting and transmitting pirate intelligence, which was very helpful for the execution of justice by the five branches of the Navy in the New World.
Unlike Katakuri, who looked like he had seen a ghost because of the praise, Haku was very sensible and kept saying that this was what he should do, and promised that he would continue to work hard and never forget his original intention.
As for the others... there is not much to say. Their performance is mediocre. Apart from not attacking the navy, other institutions of the world government, and the affiliated countries, there is nothing outstanding about them.
There are even... some weird ones, such as Boya Hancock. In the past four years, except this year, Hancock took the initiative to travel to the New World every year, and then got a beating from Skyler, and had to bear the burden of delaying naval justice.
Execution pot.
This made her very unhappy. After all, Skyler beat her and it ended quickly. How could there be any delay? This is completely nonsense! It is a slander against her! And an overestimation of her strength!
However, because Skyler was there, Hancock did not directly refute it, but secretly made up his mind to try to effectively hurt Skyler once today, at least to make the delay a reality, otherwise he would take the blame for nothing.
.
Not to mention Moria, apart from this year's World Conference, the only time he appeared outside the Triangle Sea was the World Conference four years ago.
Moreover, compared to four years ago, Moria had gained a lot of weight, or in other words, had gained a lot of weight again. He did not stop talking during the meeting and ate all the snacks in the conference room.
Xiong's contribution in the past four years is hard to say. Apart from coming out every spring to catch a group of pirates, there is no other action.
In fact, the World Government is aware of his actions. After all, he is now Vegapunk's bodyguard. How could the World Government and the Navy not pay attention? It's just that the confidentiality level of this matter is too high.
As for Crocodile, the last Shichibukai and the first to join the Shichibukai, the evaluation is not optimistic.
In fact, Crocodile was looking forward to the World Government's comments on him. After all, Katakuri only built a shipyard and received so many compliments.
There's no reason why he should be lower than Katakuri!
But the fact is...neither the Navy nor the World Government are satisfied with Crocodile's performance in the past four years.
It is mainly divided into two points. The first point is Crocodile's management of disasters in Alabasta. Logically speaking, it should be a good thing that Crocodile delivers water and food during droughts and releases water to relieve difficulties during floods.
But in the eyes of the World Government and the Navy, it has become something else.
Both sides' comments were very polite at first, or they praised Crocodile politely, but just when Crocodile was waiting for more compliments, the tone of their conversation suddenly changed.
Although he did not use strong words, he still pointed out the disadvantages of Crocodile's disaster relief. Although Crocodile would appear in every flood to solve the flood problem before the flood caused its impact.
However, after the flood discharge was completed, Crocodile restored the land to level, leaving no plan to deal with the next flood that may and does come.
Even if he drains the water and doesn't fill up those drainage channels, maybe the World Government and the Navy won't be able to find this reason.
But... Crocodile originally wanted to use multiple floods and impacts to make the people of Alabasta dissatisfied with the royal family. How could he do something that would never cause further trouble?
After listening to McKinsey's analysis and comments, Crocodile's face darkened a little, but he didn't say anything. After all, he could indeed do better.
To be continued...
