Chapter 85 The second day after returning home (150,000 nutrient solution plus more) You...
The next day after returning home:
The Shichibukai Conference isn't held every year. After all, the Shichibukai are still pirates at heart, and some of those who join don't quite obey the rules. Plus, the Navy doesn't really want to bring these troublesome guys together every year just for a meeting.
However, sometimes they will be summoned for decision-making or when the World Government needs to use the "sword" of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
At the same time, convening and holding a meeting are two different things.
Generally speaking, if they are summoned, it means that the World Government and the Navy need the Seven Warlords to provide combat power. It is very rare to summon all the Seven Warlords - this usually happens when something big happens.
As for meetings, many disobedient individuals simply refuse to attend. For example, Boa Hancock, Empress of the Shichibukai, completely ignores such meetings, and the World Government has no choice but to let her go. It can be said that there are many willful individuals. Although these people have reached an agreement with the World Government, they are not very obedient.
People with personalities like Hawkeye generally won't attend such boring meetings unless there is something really important or they are interested in it.
Wendy also asked curiously: "Who are the current Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
"There's Gekko Moriah, Hanafuda, Boa Hancock, the Queen of Nine Snake Island, Crocodile Crocodile, and the latest to join is the fish-man Sea Knight Jinbe, and the Donquixote Doflamingo you know." Hawkeye replied.
"I see..." Wendy nodded, showing little interest in these candidates. She said seriously, "Anyway, if they insist on giving us something, we'll just quit."
Hawkeye already understood the man's personality: "If I can take someone else's things, they're mine. I won't give my things to anyone else." He didn't refute him, but replied somewhat helplessly, "If that happens, the navy might send warships to besiege our home."
After all, he still had a bounty on him before... Actually, Wendy also had one, or to be more precise, Abigail had one, but her identity might have been discovered and is now hidden.
His main purpose in attending the Seven Warlords of the Sea Conference this time was to find out what the World Government's attitude was towards Wendy.
"I see..." Wendy nodded, still looking serious. "So, Mihawk, shouldn't we build a second home in the New World?"
While listening to this, she pulled her small carpet to the side and sat directly on the ground next to Hawkeye. When she said this, she put her elbows on his legs, held her face in her hands and looked up at him asking questions.
Wendy actually accepted this well - after all, she used to have more than one home in the game. One above ground, one underground, and after defeating the celestial boss, she would build another in the Moonlight Mushroom Forest.
Moreover, it is common to expand or move after building a home.
"The New World is the territory of the Four Emperors. Going there is almost the same as surrendering to the Four Emperors. It's no different from the World Government." Hawkeye looked down at her, paused, and added, "Unless you want to become a Four Emperor."
He said the last sentence in a serious tone.
Hawkeye himself doesn't have that kind of idea, otherwise he wouldn't have fought alone for so long. He is a rare person who is not interested in either the One Piece or the Four Emperors position... But he knows that Wendy's ultimate goal is that position... Regardless of her relationship with her uncle, if she wants to reach that point, establishing the power of the Four Emperors is also a good choice.
If she wanted to go down that path... he was willing to assist her. He also believed that Wendy's charisma would allow her to secure that position.
After all, pirates admired the strong, and Wendy's sister was incredibly powerful, with the ability to resurrect infinitely... Plus, she was also very good at speaking in crucial moments, so winning people over shouldn't be a problem. As long as she wanted to, attracting loyal subordinates wouldn't be difficult.
...Except that everyone might think she would have some connection with the Revolutionary Army.
"Hmm..." Wendy frowned and leaned against his legs, thinking seriously about this question - this world's infrastructure line still has such a main quest to choose from...
Seeing her distress, Hawkeye added, "There's no rush for this kind of thing. You can take your time to think about it. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. If you're sure you want to do it, then tell me."
"I see." Wendy nodded and said with emotion, "My uncle has been up there for so long anyway, so a little more time for rescue won't hurt."
Hawkeye: "..." He was too embarrassed to say that your uncle might not want to be rescued by you in this way.
"But isn't Shanks' goal also to become one of the Four Emperors? Then when he becomes one of the Four Emperors, can't we just go and build a home with him?" Wendy suddenly discovered the blind spot.
It's not that she doesn't want to play infrastructure, but becoming a Yonko means fighting many bosses, which seems like a long-term and tedious process. If she can skip classes and take shortcuts, she'll take them! That's her motto!
Hawkeye immediately rejected it in a calm and firm tone: "No."
Wendy was stunned for a moment: "Huh? But it's almost the same..."
Hawkeye: "No, not by much."
Wendy: "But Shanks is also our friend..."
Hawkeye continued to veto: "When he becomes one of the Four Emperors, if we go to his territory, we will be his subordinates."
Wendy frowned. "Hmm... This is indeed a bit unpleasant... Then ask Shanks if I can build a home on his territory but not be his subordinate..."
Hawkeye: "Don't ask, I'm not going."
Wendy: "Huh? Why?"
This time, Hawkeye saw through the dagger and said expressionlessly, "I don't like it."
Wendy sighed and said in a soft voice, "Really... Fine then. If we're moving to the New World, I'll go with the Four Emperors route. I haven't played that route anyway, so I'll just treat it as a chance to experience opening a Pokedex."
By then, the system will also prompt the connection, right? — Wendy thought.
Hawkeye glanced at her - sometimes he really couldn't figure out whether this guy was conscious or unconscious...
Wendy naturally wouldn't go to the Shichibukai meeting - after all, she wasn't one of them.
Hawkeye didn't want her to go either - after all, Doflamingo was there.
Wendy seemed unconcerned, but that wasn't the case over there. And then there was the matter of the dead marine...
Afterwards, Hawkeye also asked about the situation in detail. Since Doflamingo was able to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and even become the new king of Dressrosa recognized by the World Government, things at that time must not be as simple as Wendy saw.
He is also very clear about the morality of the World Government and does not think that exposing Doflamingo's conspiracy will lead to his resignation, especially when Doflamingo himself is a Celestial Dragon.
But Wendy didn't have any thoughts of revenge, after all, she froze to death... She just wanted to pick up Luo now.
When Hawkeye arrived at the Seven Warlords of the Sea meeting, Sengoku was stunned for a moment, but he quickly figured it out - well, the reason why Hawkeye came to the meeting obediently this time should be the same as the reason why Garp insisted on attending the Seven Warlords of the Sea meeting this time.
Fortunately, he was stopped by him and Vice Admiral Tsuru was chosen, otherwise he couldn't imagine what the situation would be like now - the whole meeting might have deviated to the topic of "I don't approve of you as a pirate son-in-law."
Come to think of it… he saw that little girl coming to Aokiji last time… although it was the puzzling ice-smashing thing. It seemed the little girl was quite sweet and well-behaved. It was only natural for Hawkeye to be concerned about Garp, as he liked him… but he still had to ask about the part that Garp had let slip.
Zhan Guo thought so and asked: "Hawkeye, what's the matter with Garp saying that you want to quit the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
…Even though they're not related by blood, Wendy and Garp do seem like relatives in that they can't keep secrets. — Hawkeye thought.
The only difference is that one just can't hide it, while the other has never thought about hiding it at all.
However, the attitude that should be expressed must still be expressed.
"Literally," Hawkeye replied, "If Wendy doesn't like it, I'll quit the Shichibukai."
Zhan Guo: "..." No, you made that hasty decision?! And just based on other people's attitudes?! When you were hunting down the navy and your bounty soared to 3.5 billion, did you ever think you'd become a love-brained person in the future?!
"Is Vice Admiral Garp here?" Hawkeye asked again, adding, "Wendy asked me to pass on some messages."
"...After the meeting, you can talk among yourselves." Zhan Guo decided not to get involved in this family matter.
Sengoku felt a bit of a headache, and thought that Hawkeye, who was originally a maverick, was also a leader among the many weirdos of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
He didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
As Hawkeye took his seat, the rest of the people arrived one after another.
Moonlight Moriah was the second one to arrive. He was surprised to see Hawkeye and went over to sit next to him. "It's really strange... someone like you is the first one to arrive."
He was being rather tactful when he said that. Crocodile, the third crocodile to arrive, started mocking him directly: "Becoming a son-in-law of the navy is really different, Hawkeye."
Moonlight Moriah winked at her from the other side—Hey! Can you just say that?
Hawkeye ignored Crocodile. He was thinking about another question - Gekko Moriah's devil fruit ability seemed to be somewhat related to the soul... Could it be related to the mourning glory that Wendy wanted?
Moonlight Moriah sensed the subtle scrutiny and shuddered, a hint of disbelief in his voice. Huh? Sand Crocodile mocked you, and you're coming at me?! Is it just because I started the conversation? Isn't that right?!
But everything became a little different when the fourth person arrived.
because……
"This is the first time we meet, Hawkeye." The blond man sitting opposite Hawkeye greeted.
Hawkeye sat there without moving, just looking over and said: "Nice to meet you, Donquixote Doflamingo."
The curve of Doflamingo's mouth widened a little, and his tone remained the same as when he first greeted him, with a slight chill in it: "Oh? From your tone, do you know me?"
Gekko Moriah couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this nonsense? Your election as Shichibukai and King of Dressrosa were all reported in the newspapers."
Sand Crocodile, who was watching the show with great interest, rolled his eyes at him - it was obvious that these two people were not referring to this matter, okay?
Hawkeye ignored him and continued talking to the person opposite him: "Well, Wendy mentioned it a little bit."
"Oh? That's really strange." Doflamingo leaned back, his smile widening. "But what's even stranger is that you actually trusted a woman with a mysterious origin and many secrets, and even let yourself be bewitched and used by her... Have you forgotten the pain because your scars haven't healed yet?"
Hawkeye remained unmoved, his expression unchanged, and his tone quite calm: "Are you saying this because you feel pain?"

Meanwhile, on the other side——
"Uncle Tom! This clamp winch is not working well. It needs to be improved..."
Because Hawkeye was out and she was bored, Wendy appeared in Tom's studio, but didn't see anyone. She tilted her head in confusion, ran out to look for people, and found that the crowd was gathered in the square.
Just as she was about to run over to see what was happening, Cocoro, Tom's studio secretary, stopped her with a worried look on her face: "Wendy! Don't go over there yet...Mr. Tom and the others are in trouble!"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Hawkeye actually likes to argue with people in the original work [rice dog]
Although I am a person, I am not a quiet person.
Those who have read Tom's original work should know what the event is. Anyway, it will be different from the original!
PS: This is an extra update for the 150,000 nutrient solution. See you tonight! [Kiss]
