Chapter 56 I'm Not as Good as Him

Mori Ougai had no intention of taking action against the Flag Society because of this matter. The people in the Flag Society had their abilities, and it would be quite easy to use them. As long as he could always control them, it would not be a big deal.

But before long, Sen Ouwai no longer had time to think about it.

——The assassin king Verlaine from Europe has entered Yokohama, and on his assassination list is the leader of the Port Mafia, Mori Ogai.

The information came from Dazai Osamu, who said that Verlaine had already found him once.

"Really, it was too dangerous, I was almost killed by Verlaine!" Dazai Osamu found a place to sit in the chief's office, "Boss, you have to let Mr. Mori find a solution quickly. Although I have induced Verlaine to change the order of assassination and replaced you as the last one, if Verlaine is not solved as soon as possible, he will kill Mr. Mori sooner or later!"

When Ace heard this, he looked at him carefully for a few more times, then heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately you are okay. But if his target is me, then I will take care of him."

Dazai glanced at him a few times, his eyes flickering.

"Do you know what Verlaine's true nature is?"

"Um?"

Dazai Osamu rested his head on the armrest of the chair with one hand and said lazily, "Do you still remember how the Raibo Street was formed?"

"Ah, I remember." The information about the Leibo Street was sent to him together with the information about Huang Ba Tu during the previous incident with Lan Tang. Since Sen Ouwai had read it, he naturally read it as well. And because of Lan Tang, he had a deep impression of it.

"What Arabato can do, Weilun can do too." Dazai said bluntly, "If you go to fight him, the only result will be death. And if he releases that power, not only you, but the entire Yokohama will be doomed."

"Then get rid of him before he releases his power."

Such an optimistic statement made Dazai Osamu pause. He looked at Ace questioningly: "Did you really understand what I just said? I mean, you are no match for him. You will die if you fight him."

Ace sat at the corner of the table, one hand on his head, "Let's try, maybe I can win? And you are also his target, right? Even if the order changes, you are still his target, so I can't lose." He smiled, "I am the leader, I have to stand in front of you."

Dazai fell silent after hearing this. His fingers twitched unconsciously, and he suddenly said, "You and Mr. Mori are really completely different."

"There are no two people who are exactly alike." Ace rubbed the hand that was on his head, "And when it comes to managing a mafia organization, I'm actually not as good as Mr. Ougai."

Perhaps it was because Mori Ogai's credentials had already been exposed in front of Dazai Osamu, and Ace no longer had to pretend in front of him.

Moreover, Ace really believed that he was not as good as Mori Ogai in being the leader of the mafia. Mori Ogai's daily coordination and deployment of various departments, as well as external strategies, were things that he could not understand even after watching them.

The Port Mafia is a huge operating machine. Each department has its necessary role. It is also a relatively eye-catching organization in the midst of various situations. Various external strategies for different targets are intertwined. It can be said that one move affects the entire body. Ace believes that he cannot coordinate the internal and external operations of such a huge organization.

The members of the Spade Pirates were all chosen by Ace according to his own preferences, not to expand the number of members like some other pirate groups, so compared with many other pirate groups, his Spade Pirates are not large in number. Moreover, such complex brainstorming is usually done by his vice-captain, and he only needs to make the decision.

Later, he joined the Whitebeard Pirates and became the captain of the Second Division, managing only the Second Division. However, as he only managed one division, his team also encountered traitors like Blackbeard Teach, who killed his companions, and even killed the captain of the Fourth Division, with whom he had a good relationship!

Not only did he fail to see that Teach had evil intentions, he didn't even see that he had the ability to kill a team leader!

He has always regarded this as his own fault, mainly due to these two reasons.

If you really want to look into it, he is actually not a qualified leader. This has been the case since the beginning of the Spade Pirates.

Before joining the Whitebeard Pirates, he had always relied on his strong strength to move forward, and never thought about the consequences of failure... No, he did think about it, but at that time he was still a high-spirited 17-year-old, and he just thought that if he failed, the worst that could happen was death. The crew members were all like-minded partners, and their ideas were similar to his, until they met the Whitebeard Pirates.

He fought with Pirate King Jinbei for five days and five nights and only ended up in a draw, and this was just the stepping stone to challenge Whitebeard.

After fighting with Jinbei, he finally faced Whitebeard as he wished, but the first time he saw Whitebeard, he was sure that he and his companions were no match for him, so he immediately cut off his companions' way to rescue him and let them escape immediately.

The wall he created with fire blocked the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates, giving them a chance to escape, but when he was captured by the Whitebeard Pirates and trapped on their ship, his companions organized a rescue but were then caught in the net and left on the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick.

If it weren't for Whitebeard's broad-mindedness and the idea of ​​absorbing them, if it were another pirate group, their adventure and their lives might have ended here!

Although his companions had always told him that his strength was that he acted without thinking ahead, and he had always believed in his companions, it was not until he saw how Moriogai handled things that he realized how immature he was and how unqualified he was as a leader.

The world Moriogai sees is different from the world he sees, but in some ways, it is a bit similar to that of his father. Because of Teach's matter, he ignored his father's obstruction and insisted on chasing all the way from the New World to the first half of the Grand Line known as "Paradise", but was defeated by Teach and used as a bargaining chip to become a Shichibukai, as well as a bait for his father and the Whitebeard Pirates!

Once again, he suffered the most painful consequences because of his anger and impulsiveness.

Dad tried to stop him because he saw that he might suffer a loss at the hands of Teach, but in the end he did not stop him in order to fulfill his heart.

If, if he had thought more about it, if he hadn't been so arrogant that he could kill Teach, maybe the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't have reached such a tragic point. His brother wouldn't have to risk so much to save him, and even watched him being burned through the insides by Akainu in front of him to protect him.

Mr. Ougai and Old Man Whitebeard saw the entire organization.

The longer he stayed with Mori Ogai, the more he realized how many stupid things he had done in the past.

The crew can be willful, but the captain cannot. The port mafia's mode of operation is even worse.

But Dazai Osamu doesn't think so.

It is true that Ace is not as good as Mori Ougai in terms of management ability, but for the employees, Ace is definitely the one who is more popular with them.

To put it more simply, Mr. Mori used terror to rule, and everyone must absolutely obey the leader's orders, but Ace was more about rallying people's hearts, making members obey and follow him willingly.

To be more clear, for leaders other than Morio, fear and intimidation account for 90%, the remaining 8% is talent, and the last 2% is emotion; while for Ace's leadership, there is basically no fear, 20% of intimidation comes from his strong martial arts value, and the remaining 80% is emotion, and his talent is basically included in his emotions.

As a manager, Ace was unqualified, but as a spiritual leader, he was more than qualified.

But how could Dazai praise him in front of Mori Ogai? So he sneered, "You don't have to look down on yourself. People like Mr. Mori are perverted all the time and annoying. If he doesn't even have management skills, it would be too pathetic."

[Tsk, I knew this brat was going to say something bad about me.]

Ace blinked, "You and Mr. Ougai have a really good relationship."

Mori Ogai: [……]

Osamu Dazai: "...Oh!"

"How can you tell that Mr. Mori and I have a good relationship? Ah——good relationship or something, it's really disgusting to think of applying this to Mr. Mori and me!"

It is true that Mori Ou Wai is cultivating him, but that is based on his usefulness. And if necessary, Mori Ou Wai will definitely give him up without hesitation. In Mori Ou Wai's view, as long as there is enough benefit, he can give up anything.

Just like when he killed the previous leader in the beginning and made himself a witness, when Mori Ougai chose him, he was actually prepared to give up on him.

But in this regard, Ace is a completely different person. He will not consider whether to abandon a person based on benefits, but completely from the perspective of a companion.

As long as his bottom line is not crossed, Ace will never abandon his companions no matter what the situation is. This can be seen from the incident with Lan Tang.

Dazai Osamu believed that if it was Ace, even if he defected from the Port Mafia one day, as long as he did not kill his companions in the Port Mafia, Ace would not really pursue him.

Compared to Mr. Mori, he really likes Ace more.

But even though he liked it, he didn't want to listen to Ace talking about how good his relationship with Mr. Mori was. Dazai Osamu turned his head and easily moved away from Ace's palm, and said as he walked out: "Anyway, I've told you the situation. You'd better not rush in like an idiot. It's better to listen to the insidious Mr. Mori at this time."

The sinister Mr. Mori: [……]

You still remember to criticize me even now, right?

Sen Ou sighed, but still accepted the kindness: [Don't worry about Wei Erlan's affairs. I will personally arrange matters to deal with him when the time comes.]

The intelligence system also needs to be rebuilt.

Verlaine has come to kill Dazai Osamu, but the Intelligence Department has not reacted yet. They don't even know that Verlaine has entered Yokohama. If they don't renovate and develop, one day the killer may come to kill him and he won't have any information at all.

This matter will definitely take time and can only be entrusted to someone you trust.

Well, I'll use it for Dazai-kun to practice on.

If there are any loopholes, he will help fill them later.
