Lieutenant General Rao Shihe is used to seeing the waves of the sea.

But after hearing Cui Ze's words, the experienced lieutenant general couldn't help but be shocked.

"Although I don't know where you got the news about the [surgery fruit], Brigadier General Cui Ze..."

Lieutenant General He looked deeply at Cui Ze, subconsciously clenched his fingers, and pressed white marks on the back of her hand with his fingertips.

"You should also know that the World Government is bound to obtain [the fruits of surgery], right?"

"When will the world government be able to control the actions of all pirates?"

Cui Ze didn't take it seriously and asked back.

"And isn't it common for pirates to rob secret treasures from the sea?"

That being said, it is true.

But what kind of serious pirate are you?!

"Cui Ze! Brigadier General!"

Lieutenant General He stared at Cui Ze and repeated her formal title for Cui Ze.

"Does it mean that you have already planned to completely resist the world government?"

If Cui Ze really wants to get involved in this operation fruit transaction.

Once the old guys behind the World Government find out...

There is absolutely no possibility that Cui Ze will publicly resume his naval status!

Intellectually speaking.

Lieutenant General He had always known that there was little hope for the Card Master, who had a bounty of nearly 500 million beli, to publicly resume his status as a naval admiral.

This is true whether it is from Cui Ze's personal identity or Cui Ze's personal thoughts.

not to mention.

Inferred based on the intelligence from the headquarters.

The Card Master has been asking for Devil Fruit in a targeted manner, in order to one day create a group of powerful subordinates to help him regain his country, and also to launch a revenge crusade against the Big Mom Pirates...

Let a little prince who is determined to restore his country and take revenge give up his ideals, his identity, his hatred for the country's subjugation, and continue to serve as a naval general?

Even Lieutenant General He did not dare to guarantee that the identity of the navy would be so attractive.

But emotionally.

Lieutenant General He also felt that it was a pity for Ozawa to give up his navy status.

No matter how you say it, Cui Ze can always be regarded as a navy recruit educated by Zefa.

And there has always been a certain tacit understanding with the headquarters.

Especially the previous incident in the Capital of Seven Waters.

Whether it was Zefa, Warring States, or Lieutenant General He himself, they all recognized Cui Ze's handling method.

Even Porusalino, who had taken the blame once, did not have any resentment towards Cui Ze. Instead, he took the initiative to send out the gold medal undercover of the SWORD unit. (Although this gold medal undercover has been idle...)

Ever since Cui Ze appeared in Lieutenant General He's sight.

This veteran lieutenant general always believed that.

If Cui Ze can firmly believe in becoming a navy, then he will definitely be able to become a powerful pillar of the next generation of the navy like Kake and Gion!

Even overtaking in corners...

That’s not a bad idea!

No matter what, that kid Kuzan is still too lazy...

Lieutenant General He looked at Cui Ze with some complicated emotions, waiting for the latter's reply.

Cui Ze didn't know how much content Lieutenant General He had filled in his mind in this short period of time.

Facing the gaze of the chief staff officer of the headquarters.

Cui Ze replied loudly: "Are there no senior generals in the navy who dare to openly resist the World Government?"

A brigadier general can indeed be regarded as a "high-level general".

'This kid really loves the navy...'

Before Lieutenant General He's eyes warmed up.

Cui Ze's tone suddenly became much weaker, "Besides, isn't there some kind of 'King's Seven Martial Arts' system?"

Lieutenant General He's expectations were shattered instantly. She closed her eyes and rubbed her temples with some pain.

Regarding Cui Ze's desire to become the King's Shichibukai, it was conveyed to Kizaru by Domino long after his first reward was formulated.

This was later confirmed from many aspects.

Of course the headquarters wants Cui Ze to become the new king of the Shichibukai.

That was the ultimate goal of the original undercover plan!

Although the execution of this undercover plan was somewhat unusually fast.

But the department doesn't mind this.

However, the World Government has not granted the right to confirm the Shichibukai to the Navy Headquarters.

There is no way for the headquarters to force Cui Ze to become the new King Shichibukai. We can only report it honestly and in accordance with the rules.

Then.

The World Government rejected Cui Ze's application to serve as King Shichibukai.

As for the reason?

After the Card Master debuted, he has not yet fought against the New World's Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido and other pirate emperors! His record is not enough!

Lieutenant General He had nothing to say.

Where did the Card Master not fight against the Pirate Emperor?

When he was still a recruit, he was severely beaten by Mr. Kaido! The general of the headquarters saw it with his own eyes!

However, the headquarters cannot publicly state that the Card Master once fought head-on with Kaido and was injured but not dead.

In that case.

By following the clues, the World Government is very likely to find out the relationship between Cui Ze and the navy recruit training camp.

Even if it's just a sign.

This is enough to make the World Government doubt the relationship between Cui Ze and the Navy Headquarters, and then doubt whether the Navy Headquarters is against the government's intentions...

General He Zhong was unwilling to think about the whole series of nonsense that came out.

Cui Ze is currently in this stage of "not enough compared to those above, but more than enough compared to those below".

It clearly met the requirements of the Shichibukai in all aspects.

It’s just that the World Government doesn’t agree!

If in another two years the standards of the Shichibukai are lowered, Cui Ze might be able to become a Shichibukai.

Available at this stage.

The World Government's qualification requirements for the Shichibukai are quite strict.

Taking a deep breath, Lieutenant General He calmed down his somewhat chaotic breath, opened his eyes and looked at Cui Ze.

"So your plan is to use the 'results' of snatching the fruits of this operation to seize the position of the Shichibukai?"

Huh? When did I say that?

Cui Ze blinked, not understanding Lieutenant General He's brain circuit, but he still nodded calmly.

"That's right. It would be even more perfect if after this incident, we can find a few more strong men from the sea to fight against each other and show off their achievements."

Lieutenant General He nodded slightly and explained a few more words.

"It's indeed so good. The World Government has been holding back your qualification as King of the Shichibukai because the government thinks your record is not satisfactory..."

Until then.

Cui Zecai found out from Lieutenant General He why he had not received an invitation from the World Government to join the Shichibukai.

Ozawa instantly had the idea of ​​​​taking revenge, but it was not for himself.

Gan!

Why can't old Leili be considered a pirate emperor?

"But, alas..."

Lieutenant General He sighed.

"What would you do if the World Government requires you to hand over the fruits of the operation that were taken away this time before allowing you to serve as King Shichibukai?"
