.”

Skyler was silent, Dorag was silent, and the other sailors on the warship were also silent. Even the comrades behind Kidd had expressions of indignation frozen on their faces.

No one expected that Kidd’s so-called final captain’s speech would be like this. However, strictly speaking, after becoming a marine, Kidd would no longer be the captain of the Kidd Pirates, and naturally there would be no more captains to speak.

Already.

However, his friends were all willing to sacrifice their lives in order for him, the captain, to retain the last bit of dignity as a pirate before his death, which made Kidd's behavior seem more or less cowardly.

But Kidd doesn't want to die, not just for his own life, not just for the knowledge that is easily available, or even that he has already obtained but has not yet learned.

The most important thing is that he doesn't want the people behind him to die at this time. Back then, they lived in the chaotic waters of the South China Sea, and they didn't like each other, especially Kira, Hit and Waye.

Back then, the four of them could be considered enemies. Each controlled a street and had their own place on the island that was constantly invaded by pirates.

If there were no accidents, perhaps Kidd would not even choose to leave the South China Sea, because there is a girl he admires there, and at the same time, there is also a girl Kira admires.

The fact that the captain and the vice-captain were childhood love rivals is not a secret within the Kidd Pirates, which is why they finally joined forces.

Because on the island that was constantly invaded by pirates, an accident happened. The girl they both admired, Shiluton Truyanaka, was killed by a group of invading pirates.

This incident is the most painful and regretful thing in Kidd's heart, but without this incident, he and Kira would not join forces, nor would they join forces with Hit and Valle.

As a young man at the time, he did not have the strength to bring down the pirate group, so Kidd lobbied several other people. The four people who disliked each other finally joined forces and defeated the pirate group.

However, after completing his revenge, Kidd no longer wanted to stay in the land where the person he admired died. After he shouted that he no longer wanted to stay in that narrow world, Kira and others made an unexpected choice.

Followed.

Along the way, they have gone from being dissatisfied with each other to becoming true partners.

He thought that after entering the new world, their journey would still be as smooth as usual, but as the captain, he lost an arm and also lost the ship that commemorated the girl.

However, these partners who accompanied him along the way still did not choose to give up on him. They had more than one opportunity to leave, but they all chose to stay.

Even now, when facing death, they have not remembered that they were once enemies, but as partners, they are willing to die with them.

The person who put these people in such a situation was not someone else, but him, the trusted captain, who twice ignored the lifebuoy and dragged all his partners into danger.

But Kidd is unwilling to give up, because he is not such a person. If he was willing to give up, he would not have gone against Kira. If he was willing to give up, he would not avenge that girl.

If he was willing to give up, then when he saw the strength displayed by the navy and the New World forces in the Chambord Islands, he would not have entered this damn new world.

He wants to fight for it, even if it means disappointing his friends. He also wants to save the lives of these bastards and idiots. Since he missed the lifebuoy, he will fight for another one.

After Kidd finished shouting, he kept staring at Skyler. Even through the lenses of his sunglasses, he couldn't see what Skyler looked like, but he didn't want to miss it.

Skyler pursed her lips. In fact, she was not enthusiastic about recruiting the Kidd Pirates, especially since this young man had refuted her reputation, which made Skyler dislike her even more.

She shook her head and said, "If you miss it, you miss it. I have no obligation to give you another chance."

Hearing Skyler's words of rejection, Kidd instantly felt his limbs go cold. Even the hand that had been severed by Shanks had an illusion, a cold illusion.

Skyler's decisive refusal shocked Dorag. After all, with the character of the Monchi family, they would never refuse an opportunity, let alone a young man like Kidd who was not a threat.

When Garp dealt with Roger back then, he also gave him many opportunities, and many of the revolutionary troops he now leads, Dorag, became soldiers and even cadres of the revolutionary army because of the opportunities he gave them.

If nothing else, just talk about Ivankov and Xiong. Based on the purpose and goals of the Revolutionary Army, such people should never become members of the Revolutionary Army, but he is willing to give them a chance.

It is precisely because of being given the opportunity that we will have subsequent experiences and rewards. In Dorag's view, Skyler is not a person who refuses to give opportunities.

Apart from anything else, Skyler gave his eldest brother a lot of opportunities, and it was Skyler who gave Shanks the opportunity when he entered the new world, but now he has rejected Kidd.

Perhaps Kidd today is not as important as Shanks at that time, but now that a huge war is about to begin, any help from any member is valuable, and bypassing this group of young people does not seem to be an absolute bad thing.

Dorag pondered for a moment, and soon thought of what Skyler just said about military morale and public opinion. Now there is not so much time for Skyler to deal with it.

Maybe a few days ago, Skyler would have given this group of young people a chance, but now, once the handover of arms is completed, it means the outbreak of war, and Skyler really has no time to deal with these trivial matters.

It's just that Dorag looked at Kidd and the group of young people behind him, but he felt a little reluctant. It was impossible for Dorag not to pay attention to a supernova like Kidd.

He knew that Kidd had enough potential, but it was a bit of a waste for such a future star to die just like this.

At the same time, Dorag also thought of a way. He smiled, patted Skyler on the back, and said: "Sister, don't scare the young people of our revolutionary army."

Hearing this, Skyler's face darkened, and he slowly turned to look at Dorag. Although he could not see Skyler's eyes, Dolag could tell from her undisguised sword power.

Keller was angry at this time.

Dorag also knew that if he used this set of words to explain Kidd and others at other times, even yesterday or tomorrow, Skyler would not be so angry.

But today, or rather right now after the conversation, his behavior seemed to deliberately irritate Skyler, even if he didn't mean it that way.

The reason is very simple. Just now, Skyler used a similar method to successfully transform Luffy from a pirate with a bounty on his head to an undercover marine.

Not long after this, especially after discussing the recruitment behavior of Straw Hat members, he suddenly used the same method to forcefully recruit Kidd and others into the revolutionary army. This was a mockery of Skyler.

But Dorag didn't mean this. He just felt that Skyler and Sakaski jointly planned Luffy's return and did a great job.

This is a case that is definitely worth learning from. Dorag also truly learned from it, and then happened to encounter an opportunity to put it to use.

Dorag knew that Skyler could not believe this nonsense, so he did not rush to explain, but kept hinting to Skyler with his eyes, hoping that she could give face to his elder brother.

Kidd, who was cold all over and felt that he had no hope of saving his friends, suddenly regained hope when he heard Dorag's words. He looked at Dorag with sincere eyes.

This sincerity was much more sincere than when he said he wanted to join the navy. After all, under the circumstances just now, joining the navy was a compromise, but joining the revolutionary army at this time was reciprocating the favor.

Not only Kidd, but also the partners behind him looked at Dolag with a touch of passion. After all, the Revolutionary Army was not like the Navy, which was "killing the donkey."

organization.

The navy made their captain's efforts go in vain, but as soon as the matter was over, the butcher's knife that should have been aimed at the enemy was suddenly pointed at their allies, even if they were only temporary allies.

Under such circumstances, even if Skyler had just agreed to Kidd's request, these young people would not be able to return to their original aspirations. They would only choose to endure hardships in order not to waste Kidd's efforts.

But the Revolutionary Army is different. The Revolutionary Army is the beacon that saves them from danger. They are the only ones who stand up to stop Skyler after he decides to kill them.

As a result, not only did they not resist joining the Revolutionary Army, but even before joining the Revolutionary Army, their hearts were already leaning towards Dolag, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

Dorag also noticed Kidd's eyes, and then kept hinting to Skyler to look at Kidd's state at this time. Skyler also noticed, knowing that Dorag's plan had been mostly successful.

For the rest, she just needs to relax and admit that the Kidd Pirates are members of the revolutionary army, and there will be no problem.

Moreover, this is also a good result. After all, the Navy does not have time to find an undercover identity for the Kidd Pirates and has no way to control public opinion.

Forcibly recruiting the Kidd Pirates into the army will most likely cause rumors and is not conducive to the stability of military morale.

But if the Kidd Pirates are a member of the Revolutionary Army, there won't be any problem. After all, although the Revolutionary Army and the Navy are in a cooperative alliance, their personnel have nothing to do with each other.

Moreover, the members of the Revolutionary Army are very complex and inclusive enough. Therefore, if the Kidd Pirates appear in the name of the Revolutionary Army, it will not only be beneficial to the subsequent war, but will also not damage the morale of the military.

This is indeed a good result, but Skyler is angry! Although helping the Revolutionary Army is helping the Navy, and helping Dorag is also helping his own family, but Skyler is very angry.

Different from those previous experiences and operations that seemed like a stroke of genius to others, planning Luffy's skin-changing incident had a different meaning for Skyler.

After all, this was something she planned truly subjectively. Skyler had been planning it since Drago wanted Luffy to see his letters five years ago.

Three years ago, when she learned that Luffy would never debut as a marine, she took the initiative to contact all parties and obtained a sword slot from Sakaski.

Until Luffy's return today, everything was planned and organized by Skyler. This was a rare moment for her to use her brain!

Such a simple plan may not be difficult for people like He and Dorag who rely on their brains, but for Skyler, she

In short, Skyler was extremely dissatisfied with Dorag's Sharingan-like re-enactment, because Dorag clearly had the ability to get these people from her in another way.

But he shamelessly chose to plagiarize! Copy-paste level plagiarism!

And at this time, even if Skyler forgives Dolag's plagiarism and admits his statement, the long silence at this time has caused her to miss the best opportunity to answer. No matter what she says at this time, it will appear to be inconsistent.

.

On the side, Nurkic, who saw the mood of his parents, looked at Dorag and was extremely speechless. However, looking at the performance of Kidd and others, he had to admire him.

It seems that Dorag borrowed this trick, but in fact, Dorag used it better than Skyler.

At the right time, using the right method, and then using the right words, it seemed that from beginning to end, Dorag just said one sentence, but it made Kidd and others directly willing to surrender.

Nurkic looked at Dolag, and he finally understood why the World Government emphasized his ability to incite people when promoting Dolag's threat.

However, as an adjutant, Nurkic still had to help Skyler. He could see that his own officials were not unwilling to agree, but just couldn't stand up.

"Ahem~" Nurkic coughed lightly and said: "Mr. Dorag, do you mean that the Kidd Pirates are the chess pieces of your revolutionary army placed on the sea?"

Hearing Nurkic's words, Dorag narrowed his eyes. This naval adjutant who looked older than himself was really not simple.

First, he alleviated the embarrassment of his commander not speaking up, and at the same time, he used one sentence to suppress the Kidd Pirates, who had rekindled their hopes.

Although there seems to be no problem, there are more than one hidden traps. The first is the problem on the surface. If Dorag admits, Nurkic will have two ways forward and one retreat.

He could give a favor and not pursue the case, but at the same time, he could give the Navy the confidence to pursue the case. After all, the Kidd Pirates were really arranged by the revolutionary army, so there should be corresponding records or reports.

But the revolutionary army does not have these things. Even if they want to make fakes, it will take time, and this time is seized by the navy.

If Skyler wants to pursue the case, then this time will be so short that it is almost non-existent. If Skyler does not pursue the case, then the Revolutionary Army can also create corresponding evidence. This will already have two levels of room for maneuver.

Already.

The reason why Dorag believes that Nurkic is suppressing the Kidd Pirates is that Nurkic used the word "chess piece". There seems to be no problem, but Nurkic can obviously use milder words, such as

.Undercover?

The word "chess piece" reminds Kidd and his team that they are not important to the revolutionary army. Even if they want to join the revolutionary army next, they need to be prepared that they are not the core.

In a sense, this is also helping the revolutionary army, allowing the revolutionary army to better manage these young people.
