"snort!"
Hearing Kuro's words, Sakazuki snorted coldly, but stopped glaring and laughing.
Yi Xiao closed the whites of his eyes and didn't continue to argue.
It's not that they listened to Kuro completely, but even under these circumstances, they still maintained basic rationality and composure.
As Kuro said, why argue so fiercely about such foreign affairs?
He smiled faintly and said, "I still stand by my own opinion."
Sakazuki said slowly, "I disagree."
After saying that, the two seemed about to start arguing again.
"This matter can be resolved."
Kuro smiled, stepping between the two, and smiled at Sakazuki first: "I'll do it, I'll do it..."
As he spoke, he turned to Yixiao and said, "Brother, you don't hate the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you just hate pirates like Doflamingo, right? Think about it, if... if it were the Straw Hat Pirates, and he became a Seven Warlord of the Sea, would you oppose the Seven Warlords system?"
These words left Yi Xiao and Yi Yan stunned.
He had 'seen' that boy, and with his Observation Haki, he couldn't sense any malice from the boy; he could only feel his sincerity.
Although he's a pirate...
But a smile isn't unpleasant.
If he were to become a Shichibukai...
He discovered that he wasn't so unable to accept it.
Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea were still a bad system in his mind, a system that needed to be abolished.
Pirates are pirates; there's no such thing as legal pirates.
But if that boy were to take the position, he would be more hesitant.
We must acknowledge that he is not an unreasonable person...
Yi Xiao fell silent.
Seeing this, Kuro smiled slightly and turned to Sakazuki, saying:
"Ultimately, it's still a problem with the selection of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The World Government has made a mistake in choosing the right people, which has led to the Seven Warlords system becoming less and less threatening. Some pirates even have their own ideas and use this identity to do their own things."
I think the World Government shouldn't decide who the Seven Warlords of the Sea are. What do they know about pirates? The only people on the high seas who understand pirates are themselves and the Navy, who are their enemies. We should be the ones to choose them.
Hawkeye, Empress, and even the unmodified Kuma—these are the types of people we need to recruit.
Kuro paused for a moment, then continued, "We cannot deny that pirates definitely have ambitions. None of the pirates who go to sea and make a name for themselves are those who set sail aimlessly."
However, as long as their thoughts and ambitions don't conflict with our navy, and their strength is sufficient, then that person can become a Shichibukai. People like Doflamingo, we can control them and prevent them from becoming Shichibukai, as long as that power is held by our navy.
“Kuro, you should know that the higher-ups won’t agree to something like this,” Sakazuki said in a deep voice.
Kuro smiled and said, "They would agree to this rather than abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The World Government Summit is coming up soon, and the policies chosen at that summit are always carried out seriously."
The World Government is incompetent in many ways, but it does one thing well: decisions made at the World Conference are never changed.
That's the foundation of their existence; they collect so much protection money from member states every year, so of course they have to do that.
If member states were to unite and make a request, the world government would comply.
This includes abolishing the Seven Warlords system...
If Issho continues like this, the Seven Warlords of the Sea will definitely be abolished.
This did not suit Sakazuki's tastes, nor did it suit the tastes of these old navy men.
Admittedly, there were also veterans in the Navy who disliked the Seven Warlords of the Sea, such as Smoker.
However, Smoker knew the importance of things; he knew that the existence of the Seven Warlords of the Sea had both advantages and disadvantages, and that they were indeed a powerful tool for maintaining balance.
People like Doflamingo shouldn't assume that just because they can't beat one of the Four Emperors, they're weak.
Diamond Jotz was nothing more than a puppet in his hands.
He is truly quite capable when it comes to using his abilities.
If this level of skill were placed among the pirates of the New World, he would definitely be a silver medalist, surpassing the level of the Three Sweet Commanders and the Three Disasters.
If there were a few more people like Doflamingo, holding off the Four Emperors wouldn't be a problem at all.
If it's someone at Hawkeye's level, then it's even easier to say...
They're all pirates anyway, what's wrong with dogs fighting each other? Why make the Navy sacrifice themselves?
"I will report this matter to my superiors..."
Sakazuki, munching on a cigar, said, "Let's put the Shichibukai aside for now. The World Government Summit is just around the corner. The Navy needs to be prepared, and the surrounding waters must be kept safe. Also, we can start thinking about who will escort the delegates from each country to the summit."
Kuro, I want you to make a trip to Fishman Island...
"Are you kidding me!"
The next instant, Kuro's voice rose eight octaves, but after thinking for a moment, he realized it wasn't right. He cleared his throat and tried to speak in a calm tone:
"Um, Marshal Sakazuki, I'm not suited to go to Fishman Island. I haven't finished building up my G-3 base yet, so I definitely need to maintain peace in the waters around G-3 first. Otherwise, the member states of the New World won't be able to pass through here."
Fishman Island?
You can send Kuro to the sky, but you absolutely cannot send him to the sea!
Going into the sea is too dangerous.
Even for the navy, there are no safe passages to uninhabited islands. It is a deep sea area of 10,000 meters in the strait. The navy needs to be coated before they can go down. But if they encounter deep currents, no matter how strong they are, they will be buried in the sea without exception.
Regardless of whether they are ability users or not, once their membrane breaks there, they're doomed.
Going into the sea will definitely break the membrane, no matter what kind of membrane it is!
I'll only download without censorship... no, anyway, Kuro would never entrust his safety to God or luck.
Kuro might be able to guarantee safety with the navy's technology, but he wouldn't agree to handing over the initiative to the unknown.
His sense of security wouldn't allow him to do that.
"Speaking of which, is Fishman Island going to participate this year?" Kuro frowned and said, "Fishman Island has never participated in previous years, has it?"
"Ah... Fishman Island wants to participate this year."
Sakazuki nodded and said, "The World Government has agreed to this, and it seems they want to discuss the relocation of Fish-Man Island to the mainland."
Kuro shrugged and said, "That's really surprising. Migrating to land can lead to a lot of unexpected problems."
Those merfolk are actually quite content in the deep sea; if they absolutely have to migrate to land...
But then the security wouldn't be as good.
At a depth of 10,000 meters in the deep sea, in places with deep-sea currents, the safety of mermaids and fish-men who can live in the water goes without saying. They are rarely caught by humans, especially mermaids, who rarely come out.
But once they have to migrate to the open sea...
The Celestial Dragons, along with the nobles who desire mermaids and fish-men slaves, will be eyeing this covetously.
This world isn't as naive and safe as it seems.
