Chapter 145: Pirate King Boros! Little Rich Woman!
Chapter 145: Pirate King Boros! Little Rich Woman!
Now with Marshal Kong as a reference, Borsalino can clearly feel the value of pure gold.
And this is adulterated low-quality pure gold, which not only has a shelf life, but its actual effect is also compromised.
In this way, it is not difficult to imagine why the Five Elders and Marshal Kong would go crazy for pure gold.
The bubble pod quickly descended to the ground, and Marshal Kong, who had long since put away the pure gold, resumed his original majestic demeanor.
"General Kizaru, how come you are so fast..."
The warship that brought Borsalino over was still replenishing supplies. Seeing Admiral Kizaru, who had been away for a short time, came back so soon, the captain, who knew the mission of this trip, was suddenly a little panicked.
Did Admiral Kizaru anger the Celestial Dragons or even the Five Elders, causing the position of the Navy Admiral to be lost?
"Don't think too much. I've already got what I need. The Five Elders don't like me, so I can't stay there and eat before leaving."
Borsalino casually displayed the Admiral's letter of commission. The specific content could not be seen because the letter was rolled up, but the gorgeously decorated appearance was enough to prove that this was not an ordinary product.
It is because Borsalino is one of the three admirals of the navy, and even the most people-friendly among the senior naval officers, that the captain of the warship dared to speak to him like this.
"Don't talk like you were kicked out, you little brat!"
In front of everyone, Marshal Kong had hidden the strangeness on his face and turned back into the heroic and majestic commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.
Apart from the fact that his face looked younger than before and that he could barely conceal his joy, there was almost no change in him.
But this is easy to explain. After all, it is not surprising that he is happy when he sees half of his student being promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Navy.
"It doesn't make much difference... I still have a lot of things to do in Marinford, so I won't stay any longer."
Borsalino jumped high and landed on the deck of the warship. He still had a lot of things to do before rushing back to the Navy Headquarters to participate in the real promotion ceremony.
For example, he went to the Conan world to pick up Boros and the Dark Matter Pirates, and he had promised Haibara Ai that he would help her restore her to her original state.
I hope that when old man Zefa attends his promotion ceremony, he can bring Ain with him, so that Borsalino doesn't have to look for Bonnie.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Ain's regression fruit can regress Haibara Ai to the state where she took APTX-4869, rather than directly regressing from a child to a baby.
Otherwise, even if Borsalino found it troublesome, he would have to find a way to capture Bonnie.
Speaking of which, that woman has some special relationship with Tyrant Bear. If it is not necessary, Borsalino does not want to arrest her.
"I've never seen you so diligent before!"
Marshal Kong spoke unhappily, saying that before Borsalino was promoted to admiral of the navy, he was a well-known workaholic, and the title of navy monster was not just given by pirates.
But after he became the admiral of the navy, he happened to encounter the incident with the Celestial Dragons. Realizing that he was being targeted, Borsalino simply chose to give up and started the salary thief mode.
Borsalino's declining status has caused Marshal Kong a lot of headaches. The daily life between Garp and Sengoku now was also the daily life between Borsalino and Marshal Kong at that time.
"I've been catching pirates for so many years, can't I just enjoy myself?"
Borsalino retorted confidently that the achievements that Saint Vochuli only read out for a dozen minutes were the result of the blood and tears of hundreds of famous pirate groups and great pirates.
When Borsalino decided to compete for the position of admiral of the navy, no other sailor dared to question Borsalino's qualifications except Sakaski, who also aspired to the position of admiral.
It is precisely because everyone knows that no one in the navy is more qualified to be the admiral than Borsalino.
"Humph! When you become the Admiral of the Navy, I'll see how you can still slack off!"
Marshal Kong showed a smile full of 'malice'. He seemed to have seen the scene where Borsalino stayed in the Marshal's office all day, overwhelmed by the mountain of unresolved affairs.
Unfortunately, Sakaski is too principled to be as lazy as Borsalino and Cap.
Fortunately, there is Kuzan waiting for Borsalino, and Kake, who is among the candidates for general, is also a lazy guy.
"It's not a big problem. I have decided to keep Lieutenant Ahe as the chief of staff and Marshal Sengoku as the chief inspector. It would be best if old man Zefa could be rehired as the marshal's advisor... Um, old man Kong, do you want to join us for a mahjong game?"
Borsalino said that everything was under control. If necessary, he could also bring Kalina who was lurking on Tesoro's golden ship and Nochigo who stayed in Cocoasi Village over to form a team of beautiful girls with Nami to serve as his secretaries.
After hearing Borsalino's plan, Marshal Kong barely managed to hold back from cursing!
Thinking back to when he had worked diligently to be a good admiral of the navy, fearing that he would disappoint the Five Elders, he ended up being the first admiral of the navy to be defeated in a battle, and had a miserable exit.
Look at Borsalino. Before he officially started his work as the admiral of the navy, he had already figured out how to be lazy and even found someone to take the blame for him.
The most annoying thing is that, if nothing unexpected happens, Admiral Borsalino can really do a great job.
On the one hand, the Five Elders have less constraints on him. On the other hand, Borsalino has worked his way up from the bottom of the navy to where he is now, and his reputation in the navy is incomparable to that of this parachuted former marshal.
With the assistance of former Grand Marshal Sengoku, Grand Marshal Kong can already imagine a future where the Navy will flatten the New World.
"Then come on! Borsalino! The mess left behind by an incompetent admiral like me can only be cleaned up by my students!" Marshal Kong said loudly and seriously. It would be too embarrassing if he didn't even dare to admit the mess he made.
"Half! It's half a student! Be careful or old man Zefa will come after you!"
Borsalino couldn't help but complain, and Marshal Kong laughed again when he heard this.
"If Zefa doesn't agree, just let him come to me. I just let him go before. You don't really think I can't beat him, do you?"
Marshal Kong straightened his back and said proudly that in just a short while he felt like he had become several years younger. If the effects of pure gold were really as magical as the legend said, maybe he would have a chance to return to his peak.
Borsalino smiled and pulled out a recording telephone bug from his arms, and pressed the play button in front of Marshal Kong.
"If Zefa is not convinced, just let him come to me. I just let him go before. You don't really think I can't beat him, do you?"
Marshal Kong's face darkened when he heard the recording, but the words had already been spoken. If he changed his words, it would seem that he was afraid of Zefa.
"You're already a naval admiral, yet you're still sneaking around doing this kind of thing!"
Marshal Kong turned and walked away swearing, and as his body began to regain its youth, he prepared to go to the training grounds to hone his taijutsu and domineering skills that he had neglected over the past few years.
He just wanted to prove that he was not old yet, and he was not afraid of being beaten up and losing face by Zefa.
"I need to have a good rest. Don't disturb me if nothing happens."
Borsalino, who habitually tricked old man Kong, put away the Den Den Mushi with a smile, and then said to the captain of the warship.
"Yes! General Kizaru! No! Marshal Borsalino!"
The captain saluted Borsalino and spoke loudly and respectfully.
As the most people-friendly admiral, Borsalino has a reputation among the middle and lower-level naval groups that far exceeds that of Sakaski and Kuzan.
The captain of the warship in front of him looked like a die-hard fan of Borsalino.
"Call it that way after you get promoted back at headquarters, otherwise it's just a piece of waste paper."
Borsalino waved his hand and did not regard himself as a naval marshal just because he had received the commission.
Hearing this, the warship captain looked at Borsalino with even more respect. Although it was a bit unfair to Marshal Kong to say this, he was an outsider who joined the navy midway.
It was not until Marshal Kong actively chose to be "promoted" to become the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and handed over the position of the navy marshal to the navy's own Zhan Guo that he was truly recognized by the navy.
A letter of commission from the Five Elders is certainly a necessity for a Navy Admiral, but a Navy Admiral who wants to truly gain the support of the entire Navy is, without exception, promoted at the headquarters.
"Yes! Please rest assured!"
The captain of the warship responded loudly, Borsalino nodded, then returned to the cabin and disappeared into the light.
When Borsalino appeared again, he was already over an unknown sea area in the New World.
After releasing his Observation Haki to scan the surrounding seas, Borsalino nodded with satisfaction and contacted Haibara Ai through the dimensional chat group.
Because of the difference in the speed of time flow, Boros and the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates have been in the Conan world for nearly half a month.
Boros had no interest in this primitive and backward planet, which had no strong indigenous people.
Fortunately, Haibara Ai downloaded a set of Dragon Ball comics for him from the chat group. Many similar comics were uploaded by passers-by in the group.
Boros, who has long been accustomed to loneliness, has a special liking for those Saiyans who are almost exactly like him in terms of personality and bellicosity.
Especially since Haibara Ai told him that theoretically, people from the Dragon Ball world might join the chat group in the future, and then he could fight with those Super Saiyans every day.
Every time Boros thought of this, he was full of anticipation. So when Borsalino pulled Boros to the pirate world, he saw this former overlord of the universe holding a Dragon Ball comic that was almost torn to pieces in his hand.
"Borsalino, do you know where Earth is?"
As soon as they met, Boros couldn't wait to ask. In his eyes, the Dragon Ball comics were something like a book of prophecies.
In other words, Super Saiyans definitely exist.
He was willing to travel through the universe for twenty years to find the warrior in the prophecy, so he could certainly go on another voyage to find the Super Saiyan. "If you find him one day, remember to let me know."
Borsalino patted Boros' shoulder with a complicated expression and said, "Is this the highest level of being a otaku, firmly believing that the paper man is real?"
"Don't worry! Hmm?! This doesn't seem to be the same planet as before?"
Boros looked around.
Although he does not have any means of perception such as Observation Haki, he can clearly feel... the differences between the One Piece world, the One Punch Man world, and the Conan world.
"Ah, this is my world. I called you here to ask for your help..."
Borsalino briefly explained the general situation of the pirate world, and even did not hide the existence of Im from Boros.
When Boros heard that there were so many warriors in this world who were stronger than the top fighters, and even strong ones that even Borsalino was afraid of, his eyes lit up.
Although the top fighters are just small fry in front of Boros, fighters stronger than the top fighters can already make Boros a little interested.
"One Piece? Leave it to me!"
Boros spoke with confidence, but he was not planning to sail around the Grand Line. Instead, he was planning to defeat the so-called Pirate Emperor and even all the great pirates.
This is also what he did when he led the Dark Matter Pirates to become the overlord of the universe. Of course, Boros also had a little selfish motive in this.
All the top fighters under his command were killed. Could he take the opportunity to recruit them in this world?
If those so-called pirate emperors are really stronger than the top fighters, we can catch them to practice and kill time when we are bored.
"By the way, if you encounter the navy, remember to show some mercy..."
Borsalino also pulled over the Overlord, the mothership of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.
There are hundreds of surviving space pirates in the spaceship, all of them are excellent tools.
"Navy? I see." Boros didn't care much. Showing mercy probably meant that he could fight as long as he didn't kill them.
"This is the permanent compass of Wano Country. Follow the compass to find Kaido. For the rest, just capture a few pirates along the way and interrogate them for information."
Borsalino handed the permanent pointer he had prepared in advance to Boros, and then turned into light again and returned to the warship. Boros also returned to the Overlord and threw the permanent pointer of Wano Country to his men, asking them to set off in the direction of the pointer.
Just when Boros was heading to Wano Country, Borsalino returned to the warship and, after consulting Haibara Ai's opinion, he brought her into the pirate world.
"Hey, have you moved all your belongings here?"
Borsalino watched in silence as Haibara Ai counted the instruments and equipment that had been delivered in advance. The captain's room, which was originally quite spacious, seemed a bit crowded with so many instruments and equipment.
"Since we are here now, we might as well do a simple survey of the species in this world."
After confirming that all her precious belongings were in good condition, Haibara Ai answered with confidence.
She spent a lot of money to ask Tony Stark to buy these instruments and equipment for her.
Even in the Marvel world, these are the most advanced goodies, and many of them are "friendly gifts" from Dr. Povoy in the One Punch Man world.
For a researcher, these devices are no different from the supreme sword in the hands of a swordsman. If it were not for the convenience of doing research in the pirate world, Haibara Ai would not have been willing to bring so many treasures here.
"Tsk, let me make it clear first, I don't have much time to help you get samples."
Borsalinozzi crossed his legs and spoke lazily. He had just become the admiral of the navy and had no time to play with children.
Of course, if it was Shiho Miyano, Borsalino wouldn't mind providing a little help to the beautiful researcher.
But if it was Haibara Ai, even though Borsalino was known for his wide range of interests, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Aren't you catching dinosaurs to send to that playboy to raise? I'll start with the dinosaurs of this world!"
Haibara Ai had already made her wish. Although her main research direction was medicinal chemistry, biology was also her greatest interest and hobby.
As dinosaurs are the most popular research subject in paleontology, it would be strange to say that Haibara Ai is not interested in them.
"Well, that's fine. The Marshal's promotion ceremony is still some time away. I'll have someone send you to meet Vivian first. As for safety issues..."
Borsalino scratched his head.
Not to mention that he hasn't become the Navy Admiral yet, even if he is the Navy Admiral, he can't arbitrarily order the Navy Admiral to protect a little girl.
If we just send a lieutenant general from the headquarters, wouldn't that be a bit unsafe?
Perhaps it was because he had played too many "high-end games", in Borsalino's eyes, the lieutenant general of the headquarters was just a passerby who was slightly better than the small fry...
It is certainly more than enough to bully the small pirates, but it is still a bit far from being foolproof.
"I have already 'rented' Manabu for a month from Orochimaru. I can call on Orochimaru to help me when necessary."
Huibara Ai spoke with a bit of heartache.
Since she dared to run to such a dangerous world, she must have been fully prepared.
If she hadn't been waiting to transform back to her original form and then order the Iron Man suit of the right size from Tony Stark, her safety on this trip would have been much better guaranteed.
The problem is that Orochimaru's service is not cheap. The "rent" for Mandrake alone is two hundred dimensional coins a month, and Orochimaru himself needs at least one thousand dimensional coins each time he goes out.
Fortunately, relying on her own research capabilities and the research institute she built with Tony Stark and Orochimaru, Haibara Ai has already earned a lot of dimensional coins and is considered a small rich woman in the chat group.
"Manza and Orochimaru? That's no problem. When I return to headquarters, I'll find a warship to take you to the small garden."
Borsalino touched his chin and nodded. The fighting power of Wanshe is still remarkable. The ordinary lieutenant generals of the headquarters are really no match for it.
As for Orochimaru, he is definitely at the level of Seven Warlords of the Sea, and one of the stronger ones among them.
Even two fat guys like Moria might not be his match.
In the first half of the Grand Line, known as the 'Paradise', with Orochimaru as her amulet, it is almost impossible for Haibara Ai to encounter real danger.
"Are you going to be promoted to Admiral?"
Haibara Ai sat down on the sofa, saw the letter of authorization on the table, and spoke with some curiosity.
As one of the most active members in the chat group, Haibara Ai has some understanding of the situation in Borsalino and the pirate world.
When she thought that Borsalino would soon become the supreme commander of a navy of millions, her expression became restrained.
It feels like the stupid netizen who usually acts stupid with me on the Internet suddenly reveals his identity and turns out to be the head of state of the five big gangsters.
Although netizens are still as stupid as before, when facing him, the mentality of normal people will change more or less.
"Well, it's about time. After all, when the World Government falls, it would be more reasonable for the Navy Marshal to save the world than for the Navy Admiral to do so."
Borsalino spoke very calmly.
It's quite uncomfortable to keep so many plans in my heart, and it would be nice to have someone to talk to.
There is a reason why those villain bosses always like to talk nonsense to the protagonist. After enduring for so many years, it is human nature to want to show off once they gain power.
Anyway, Haibara Ai has no conflict of interest with him, and it is even more impossible for her to leak Borsalino's plan, so it's no big deal to tell it out.
"It sounds so scary, just like the words of those super villains and the masterminds behind the scenes..."
The corners of Haibara Ai's mouth twitched. If she was not very sure that Borsalino was a genuine good person, or at least a righteous ally, she might have thought that Borsalino was plotting some huge conspiracy.
"Haha, I think so too, but don't you think it's appropriate to say this at this time?"
Borsalino laughed and said that even the Five Elders who were extremely wary of Borsalino probably didn't expect that while they were busy dividing up the "pure gold", Borsalino was already preparing to overthrow their and the World Government's eight hundred years of rule.
Haibara Ai resisted the urge to roll her eyes. As expected, even though she became a big shot with millions of followers, the stupid netizens remained the same.
Just when Borsalino brought Haibara Ai back to the Naval Headquarters, after a day and a night, the belated news of the Battle of Marineford shocked the whole world.
The Whitebeard Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates and the Revolutionary Army joined forces to fight against the Marine Headquarters, but the final result was that one of the two Pirate Emperors died and one was injured, and more than half of the two major Pirate Emperor groups suffered casualties.
Except for the heavy casualties among the middle and low-level naval forces in the Navy Headquarters, the well-known and senior combat forces were almost unscathed. Such terrifying military power made the sea tremble.
Even if Marshal Zhan Guo chose to retire under such circumstances, no one would think that he was not doing a good enough job as a naval marshal.
Any big news that would shock the world in the past, gushed out like a blowout during the Battle of Marineford. It is said that Morgans was so excited about the big news that he had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital that night.
At this moment, the eyes of the whole world are almost "focused" on Marinford, especially the big pirates of the New World, who are like frightened birds. Even if they spot the navy's warships from afar, they will run as far away as possible.
Fortunately, they soon received a very good news: Marshal Sengoku, who led the Marine Headquarters to inflict heavy damage on the two major pirate groups and made the Navy famous in the Battle of Marineford, is retiring!
When the pirates learned of this good news from the underground world, their originally fearful mood immediately turned into ecstasy, and they wanted to raise money immediately to donate to the World Government.
