…

Located in the first half of the Grand Line, Malinvando, known as the center island of the world, stands proudly with a mountain-like fortress.

In the Marshal's Office on the top floor of the fortress, Marshal Sengoku, who returned from the Holy Land yesterday and received permission from the Five Old Stars, returned to the office and contacted Tilapia immediately.

The answer I received was, "I am a bounty hunter, not a pirate, and I have no interest in replacing Jinbei as the King of the Shichibukai."

Blackbeard handed Fire Fist Ace to the Navy, which happened to fill the Shichibukai seat vacated by Crocodile.

With Ace's special status, the navy must have a battle with the strongest pirate group.

As a Shichibukai, Jinbei wants to prevent the war, but the Warring States Period and the World Government will naturally not agree.

The original plan was to imprison Jinbe first, and then release him after the battle to continue being a Shichibukai.

Akainu suggested it yesterday, which made Sengoku think about it.

Tilapia, ten years ago was able to fight the Yonkou Kaido for a whole day and a night with no outcome, but no one knows how strong he is now.

Moreover, as a pirate hunter, he has no record of robbing civilians or merchant ships.

Let him become the King's Shichibukai. Not only will the overall combat effectiveness not be reduced by imprisoning Jinbei, but it will be greatly improved.

The most important thing is that he has no habit of robbing civilians and merchant ships. Even if he is given the privilege of being a Shichibukai and can rob legally, he will most likely not use it.

In this way, there is no need to worry about another King Shichibukai who can legitimately disrupt the world.

Therefore, Akainu suggested that Sengoku just overthink it and went to find the Five Old Stars to explain the matter.

After learning that the Warring States Period intended Tilapia to become the Shichibukai, the Five Old Stars recalled the information about him as the Hunter King and expressed their agreement one after another.

At least, so far, there is no conflict between Tilapia and the Navy or the World Government.

With strong strength, a well-behaved person (from the perspective of the world government), he is a perfect match for the Shichibukai.

As for catching female pirates but not turning them in, Wu Laoxing said, let alone catching a few female pirates, as long as Tilapia becomes the Shichibukai and catches a few princesses from the participating countries, as long as it doesn't go too far, everyone will know about the trouble.

, they are all willing to turn a blind eye.

There are some things that the CP spy organization can do, and there are some things that the navy can do, but there are some things that are best done by the Shichibukai.

Even if Tilapia is unwilling to cooperate, they will not lose if they use the Shichibukai position to restrain a strong man comparable to the Yonko.

In this way, Tilapia became the suggestion of the Shichibukai, and the Five Old Stars decided to open the door to convenience.

He is lustful and has no ambition to become king and hegemony. How good is this kind of strong man.

As for Tilapia's so-called Hunter King, it is a recognition of his strength and is not the same concept as the Pirate King.

On the sofa in the marshal's office, he saw Seng Guo looking depressed, and listened to the whole process on the phone as Garp gloated and laughed.

While laughing, he was still stuffing donuts into his mouth without any delay.

Smiling, Garp seemed to be lost in memories, and his tone was somewhat solemn: "The King of Bounty Hunters is a man who is difficult to see through.

Ten years ago, after his battle with Kaido, his reputation was at its peak, even though Shanks' reputation at that time was slightly inferior.

Everyone thought that he would use this reputation to gather forces and become the overlord of the New World in one fell swoop.

No one expected that after a while, he would take the captured female pirates and return to the first half of the Grand Line in a low-key manner, living a sensual life.

Some say he has no ambition, others say he is addicted to women..."

Before Garp finished speaking, Warring States added: "It's true to be lustful, but it's not necessarily true to be addicted to women.

When the female pirates under Tilapia go out to purchase supplies, they occasionally encounter provocations from unsighted pirates, and our intelligence officers will compile the information when they see it.

Intelligence shows that the strength of those women is far greater than before they were captured by Tilapia.

A group of female pirates whom he captured as slaves have steadily improved in strength. As a master, Tilapia will only be stronger now than before.

After all, compared to his fight with Kaido ten years ago, he is at the peak of his physical fitness now."

"Yes!!! He is still at his peak now, and the former female pirates and current slaves under his command have all become the same.

If any undue ambitions arise at this time...the sea..." Before Garp could sigh with emotion, Warring States slapped the table hard, "It doesn't matter if it's Tilapia or Whitebeard.

As long as there is a navy and justice, the sea will remain the same sea.

Don't say that Tilapia hasn't shown any ambition yet, even if he really holds back and waits for the opportunity, the navy won't be afraid." Raising his eyebrows, Warring States looked at Garp: "So, you old guy, don't even think about taking Luo.

Non-fish strength is used as an excuse to say that Whitebeard can shake the new world, maintain balance, and cannot kill Ace."

"Hmph..." He picked up the bag and poured the donut crumbs into his mouth. Garp was not embarrassed when his mind was exposed. He ignored Sengoku, whose eyes were spitting fire, and opened the office cabinet on his own and took out something from it.

The senbei secretly hidden during the Warring States Period.

…

In the Beast Island and the Compound Castle, Della and the others looked at each other with disdain in their eyes.

Some of the other maids were disdainful, while others were heart-warming and felt that it was a pity that their master refused to become the King's Shichibukai.

"Boss, the Navy recruited you to become the King of the Shichibukai because of what happened in the newspaper this morning, right?

That guy from the Warring States Period didn't look very good, but he thought he was quite beautiful.

I am recruiting the boss at this time, obviously because I want you to work as a thug for the navy."

Sitting back on Tilapia's lap, Della pretended that the treatment she had just received had not happened and complained angrily on Tilapia's behalf.

"Understandable.

After all, Whitebeard is the strongest man in the world. Facing Whitebeard, the Navy should also lack confidence.

The boss has a record of tying with Yonko Kaido, so it is understandable that he is trying to win over him at this time." Putting down the half-bitten apple, Beta lowered his head and fiddled with his blood-red nails without raising his head.

On the coffee table in front of her, there were already five apple cores.

"More than..." After thinking for a moment, Jingzi said coldly: "The boss said that the Navy has a profound foundation and cannot be competed by one or two Four Emperors.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So, in order to win over the boss at this time, besides wanting to save one's own combat power, I always feel that the navy has other purposes.

For example...test the boss's attitude."

Picking up an orange and throwing it to Jingzi, Tilapia praised it: "Good analysis, I'll give you the orange."

"The temptation is true, but the temptation is most likely due to the Warring States Period's own cleverness, and the World Government is not aware of it.

I also have some connections in the World Government, and the Five Old Stars' attitude towards me has always been to turn a blind eye as long as I don't go too far.

As the world's powerful people, they know better than anyone else that there will never be enough pirates caught.

They must know if I become King Shichibukai, but by testing me through this matter, they are not that bored."

Tilapia's analysis made the girls even more puzzled. Della said blankly: "Boss, since you know that the Navy intends to test you, why did you simply reject Sengoku's proposal to become a Shichibukai?"

"Haha..." He pinched the tip of Della's straight nose with a smile, and when the girl shook her little head in dissatisfaction, Tilapia then explained: "I have never thought about becoming a pirate, nor am I interested in overthrowing the world government.

The navy doubts, tests, and can only doubt and test.

As long as the World Government doesn't open its mouth and I don't take the initiative to become a pirate, the navy won't dare to provoke me.

As for the World Government..." He chuckled disdainfully: "To put it bluntly, the Navy is just a face-saving project of the World Government.

They are powerful, but they also have to take orders from Marigio.

Warring States Period, he did not touch my courage, and the World Government will not give him that courage.

And..., maybe there will be an unexpected harvest." Thinking that Sengoku often acted like an undercover agent, and that he was surrounded by first-rate women, Tilapia looked forward to Sengoku sending one to him too.

An undercover agent.
