Chapter 459 The right to decide
"I wonder what this plan requires me to do?"
Many thoughts suddenly emerged in Vic's mind, but he quickly suppressed them because Zhan Guo would say them out immediately, so he didn't need to think too much.
"The 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' plan is actually to select some powerful and intimidating characters among the pirates as allies of the government. When the World Government needs strong combat power to help, these Seven Warlords of the Sea can be recruited.
They also have to help the navy fight against other pirate groups in normal times. Correspondingly, the government will no longer offer rewards for these Shichibukai, and will also grant them legal rights to plunder!
Because this is a new decision, in order to better implement it, we need a strong person to communicate with the selected pirates and see if they can get the title of "Seven Warlords of the Sea" with their strength. "
Sengoku was a little embarrassed to tell Victor this. It was embarrassing to say that he was looking for pirates to help the navy fight against other pirates.
This was also the reason why Kong Zigong remained silent even though he was there. He also felt that this plan was shameful, and now he was still plotting against a young and enthusiastic navy, which made his old face feel a little uncomfortable.
Although Vic was mentally prepared, he still showed disbelief, anger and confusion on the surface. He immediately accused the top leaders of the World Government of being blind and giving birth to a son without an anus. He was pretending but also expressed his true feelings. Neither Kong nor Sengoku stopped Vic from scolding, because they thought the same thing in their hearts but just couldn't say it out loud.
"Our navy's annual military expenditure is provided by the World Government, and we have to carry out the missions they assign to us!
Without these military expenditures, warships, guns, cannons, personnel subsidies, etc. will be difficult to support, and the navy will immediately disband. Then who will uphold justice on this ocean?
So sometimes we have to learn to compromise. For the sake of the overall situation, we have to do this task. This is a relatively important decision on the part of the world government.
So we hope that you will carry out this mission and discipline those Seven Warlords of the Sea, so that they dare not disobey in secret and work hard for our navy!"
After Wick had scolded him for a while, Sengoku began to ease the relationship between the two sides. He also took the opportunity to give a reasonable explanation for Wick's mission to prevent Wick from realizing the truth and becoming alienated from the navy. He also made the future Shichibukai afraid to go too far because of Wick's strength. If they went too far, Wick would discipline them. I just want to ask you if you are afraid.
"Yes! I can go. Which pirates have caught the World Government's attention? Is there a list?"
Victor was just pretending. He didn't think that his coming to this world would make the system of Seven Warlords of the Sea disappear early. His current strength did not allow him to do so.
Moreover, the timing was totally wrong. He was mentally prepared, but he had to pretend. If he was too calm, his justice would be doubted, and it would affect his chances of becoming the head of the navy. He would not do anything, especially such a small thing.
"Here, this is the candidate list for the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Oh, this one doesn't count, because Barrett has been arrested by you. The others are all candidates for the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea. The specific ones to be selected will depend on your opinion.
You can assess their strength and other aspects. You can arrange the specific itinerary yourself. The World Government has not stipulated when the mission must be completed. You can complete the mission slowly, and at the same time, you can work on your team and get familiar with this sea."
Zhan Guo handed a stack of bounty warrants to Vic, and then took back the top one, Barrett's bounty warrant.
This was Zhan Guo's negligence, as he forgot to eliminate the captured person. Also, Vic's sudden arrival made him unprepared. Vic did stare at Barrett's bounty for a few more seconds, and then his eyes were attracted by the next bounty.
The second bounty order is for Shanks, not the domineering photo in the future. Shanks is still very young and immature now, and there are no three scars on his eyes left by Blackbeard.
But the bounty is already over 1.2 billion. It seems that apart from Barrett, Shanks is the World Government's favorite candidate for the Seven Warlords of the Sea. However, considering Shanks' ambition and the mission he carries, how could he agree to become a Seven Warlords of the Sea? However, Wick still wants to find Shanks. It would be nice to have a sparring match and a drink with him.
Then Vic looked down and saw Mihawk, Crocodile, Bear, and Moriah were also there, but Doflamingo, Jinbe, and Hancock were not there.
During this period, Jinbe was still serving as the commander of the guards at Ryugu Castle on Fishman Island and was not famous at all on the sea. Hancock was still a little girl, working as a slave in the hands of the Celestial Dragons in the holy land of Marijoa, so it was even less likely that she would appear on the list.
As for Doflamingo, I don’t know if it’s because of his identity as a Celestial Dragon or because of his lack of strength, but he was not included.
Later, seeing the great value of the identity of Shichibukai, Doflamingo, who wanted to become Shichibukai, went directly to rob the warship escorting Tenjo Kin as a bargaining chip for the identity of Shichibukai. In the end, he did succeed, but now he has nothing to do and has to stay in the North Sea to quietly develop his strength.
As for Crocodile and Moria, they are still very famous on the sea. One tied with Barrett when he was young, and the other was defeated by Kaido. They are also powerful.
Mihawk has sparred with Shanks several times, and the two were still tied. As for Kuma, he is a master in using the Meat-Gallop Fruit. He is also a cadre of the Revolutionary Army and is very powerful. He also has many secrets. However, whether these people can still become Shichibukai in this time and space depends on Wick's attitude.
"This is the Den Den Mushi that contacts the World Government. As long as you approve them to become Shichibukai and they agree to join, just let them call the Den Den Mushi. You don't have to worry about the rest, they will communicate on their own."
After Vic had read all the bounty notices, Sengoku handed Vic another Den Den Mushi. From its appearance, one could tell that it was not an ordinary Den Den Mushi.
Victor took the Den Den Mushi and put it in his arms. He didn't know whether the pirate world without him had initially sent a navy to do such a thing, but there was definitely no such person in the later period. It was the messenger bat that directly delivered the contract to the hands of the approver.
So it was like this from the beginning? Or did the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea become popular in the later period and the assessment was cancelled? Victor was not sure, but he knew that if there were pirates he didn't like, he could just kill them directly and would not even mention the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
