A Mediterranean Saint Vochuli said gloomily, "The navy's current strength is not enough to maintain the peace of the sea. I think it is necessary to increase support for the navy."
The navy has not performed well over the years, from the Rocks era, to the Roger era and now the Four Emperors era.
The outside world is not aware of what happened during this long period of time, but they are very clear about it.
The navy has always been in a passive state.
Rocks' failure was due to his collaboration with pirates, Roger's arrest was the result of his voluntary surrender, and now the problem of the Four Emperors is a thorny issue.
New forces are needed to check and balance the Heberfil family, especially the audacity of the Heberfil family, which has damaged the prestige of the Celestial Dragons, the descendants of the Creator.
The authority of the world government has been greatly questioned.
Holding the cane with both hands, Satan Shengshuang, who was wearing a black flat-top hat, tightened the cane in his hands and said in a deep voice.
"Even if the navy's performance is not good, their overall strength is still very strong. It is not advisable to improve the navy's strength!"
The navy's energy is too stretched, otherwise any one of the New World's Four Emperors would not be a match for the navy's full effort.
This is a fact!
What they need is balance. Only by maintaining the balance on the ocean can the rule of the world government be as solid as a mountain.
They don't want to see either side become bigger.
In their view, the navy is a guard dog. If it expands too much and becomes a fierce dog, it may backfire.
The consequences would be equally disastrous.
The long-haired and long-bearded Mazishen's eyes flickered, and then he spoke.
"Since the Kamiya Navy was able to join forces with the pirates, we can also recruit pirates to form a new power group."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the other four Five Elders lit up.
This will not only suppress the Four Emperors but also effectively prevent the navy from becoming too powerful.
The bald guy Nasshou Langsheng rubbed his chin with one hand, "Who is the candidate?"
"It's best to pick those guys who don't get along with the Four Emperors. Those losers who can escape from the Four Emperors are strong enough and ambitious enough."
After all, ambition is something that won't disappear easily, and those unwilling losers won't give it up easily.
"We can also look for some powerful pirates with high reputation and status to supplement them."
Mazisheng kept adding to his remarks.
Following this line of thought, a candidate was soon chosen, Nasshoulangsheng spoke lightly.
"You mean that Gekko Moria and Crocodile!"
These two guys meet the requirements. They were defeated by the Four Emperors and they themselves are quite powerful.
The others nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with the two candidates.
"What are the conditions for recruiting them?"
The short-blond-haired Saint Peter asked the key question. If one wants such a strong man to obey orders, there will naturally be a price to pay.
Saint Satan glanced sideways and said, "Cancel the bounty and allow them to have the legal right to plunder in the areas they control."
Then the conversation changed.
"Of course we must obey the World Government's compulsory conscription! This condition is mandatory and we have to agree to it."
The purpose of establishing such a unique new system is to check and balance. If you gain advantages without contributing, that will absolutely not work.
They are not the five great good men. They say that they are given privileges, but in their eyes they are nothing more than a group of watchdogs of the world government.
The others completely agreed that there was no need to recruit those disobedient guys.
“How many people are needed?”
Nasu Shoulangsheng spoke.
This is about the balance of power in the ocean. Too little is not good, and too much is not good either. The balance needs to be properly controlled.
"Temporarily decide on seven people. You don't need to rush to add more people slowly. They can be collectively called the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
Saint Satan continued to speak.
"In that case, inform the Navy King of the Shichibukai system and send the CP organization to make contact."
After some conversation, the system of Seven Warlords of the Sea, which influenced the situation of the ocean, was born quietly in this context.
Steel Bone Sora of the Navy Headquarters had a gloomy expression on his face, the system of Seven Warlords of the Sea had never existed before, and this was a huge shame and humiliation for the Navy.
He lodged a strong protest, but the Five Elders were tough and would not tolerate any rebuttal in order to appease Steel Bone Kong, an old commander with great prestige and strength in the Navy.
The Five Elder Stars also gave him an irresistible temptation, which was that when he left the post of Admiral of the Navy, he could be directly promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the entire army.
This rank is naturally higher than that of the Navy Admiral, and has more power. He is the first person under the Five Elders.
Despite receiving such a promise, Cyborg Sora still looked unhappy.
His strength has declined terribly over the years.
He has been fighting since the Rocks era. As he gets older, the hidden injuries on his body have a greater impact on him. In addition, as a marshal, the numerous things he has to do have greatly reduced his own training.
This also made this battle-hardened veteran feel a little overwhelmed.
He hopes to deter pirates and re-establish the prestige of the navy before he leaves office.
But he was well aware of the difficulties, as the navy's strength was in the stage of transition from the old to the new.
The three monster vice admirals of the navy still need time to settle down. Their qualifications and strength are not enough to become admirals for the time being, but he does not have that time.
……
……
Once the system of Seven Warlords of the Sea was introduced, it immediately caused an uproar and caused strong panic among the civilians.
The series of major events indicate that the world is becoming increasingly chaotic, and the world government has no choice but to resort to this last resort.
However, many pirates scoffed at the idea of becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
To put it bluntly, they have become running dogs of the world government.
If I really agree to it, I will be in trouble both inside and outside.
Because this will cause strong rejection from other pirates and they will not be able to truly integrate into the world government system.
It would only take a word to say that one day this system will no longer be needed.
Most of the time, it is an embarrassing situation where you can't get along with either side.
However, unexpectedly, Gekko Moriah and Crocodile, two famous guys, actually accepted the recruitment of the World Government.
Officially became a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
This is somewhat puzzling. Even though Gekko Moriah and Crocodile are losers, no one has ever thought that these two guys are weak.
These two guys are the ones who managed to escape unscathed after fighting with the current Four Emperors.
Charlotte fell into deep thought as he read the introduction in the newspaper in his hand.
The system of Seven Warlords of the Sea appeared, and third-party forces on the sea began to appear in a strong manner.
The World Government's methods of balancing the power of the ocean are truly amazing!
Soon his eyes lit up. It would take time to fully replenish the staff of this system.
Maybe he can do it secretly.
Chapter 387 He Didn't Lose at All
Lati Island!
on the street!
Various shops can be seen everywhere, with no end in sight, and tall and strange buildings are everywhere.
The entire Lati Island is becoming more and more prosperous, and people from all over the world can be seen here.
The man who was dressed casually let out a long sigh.
“I didn’t expect that after so many years, this place has undergone tremendous changes.”
The person who came was Pluto Rayleigh who had retired for many years. It had been almost ten years since the last time he came to Lati Island.
Time flies!
Xia Qi was also admiring the beautiful scenery here with a cigarette in his mouth. It can be said that Lati Island discovered many long-lost countries from ancient documents.
The unique buildings of the recorded countries have been restored here.
Among them was a country she had visited when she was a captain, but unfortunately it was destroyed more than ten years ago.
Seeing the architecture of that country here made her feel a little emotional.
What surprised her most was that there was a Flower Street here, which was completely in the architectural style of the Kingdom of Flowers, exactly the same as the origin of the architecture of Nine Snake Island.
It’s a bit nostalgic!
"Whoo~"
Xia Qi exhaled a long puff of smoke and said, "Rayleigh, let's go! We have some important business to attend to."
Hearing this, Rayleigh pushed his round glasses, and the two of them walked towards the Heberfil family’s residence together.
It is the most central area of the entire Lati Island.
The Heberfil family holds a status here that far exceeds that of a king, which is the inner expectation of countless residents of Lati Island.
Not long!
Heberfeld Family Banquet Hall!
"It's been a long time since we last met, old friend."
Charlotte laughed heartily. Rayleigh's arrival really surprised him, and Xia Qi was with him.
But now Rayleigh looks much older and seems a little retired.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Charlotte."
