Chapter 949: Request for Indifference
Empty conference hall.
A round table made of white marble.
The windows are wide open and you can see the beautiful scenery outside.
This is the meeting room where the Navy Headquarters receives guests.
The future Seven Warlords of the Sea Conference will be held here.
After entering the Navy Headquarters building, there will be special personnel guiding you in front.
After walking through the long corridor and entering the conference room, I saw two familiar figures at a glance.
Marshal Kong sat at one side of the round table, drinking hot tea quietly.
General Zhan Guo stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
As if he heard the approaching footsteps, Zhan Guo turned around.
He wore frog-shaped glasses, his long beard was tied into a pigtail, and on his military cap there was a seagull, the symbol of "navy". The gray hair on his temples had been dyed black.
His face was a little serious, but he relaxed a little after seeing Mobius.
Although Kong has gradually retreated behind the scenes, he is still the Admiral of the Navy. As the highest-ranking officer in the Navy, it is impossible for him not to show up when Mobius visits.
"Please! Please, Your Majesty Mobius."
Zhan Guo slowly walked to the first seat, pulled out a chair and sat down, clasping his hands in front of his chest.
Seeing this, Mobius didn't hesitate. Three cups of tea were ready and still steaming, which must have been freshly brewed.
Come to the middle seat and sit down directly.
Sykes and Loki sat on Mobius's left and right.
"You don't need to call me Your Highness outside, General Sengoku."
Mobius took a sip of tea and savored it carefully. The tea that could be served by Zhan Guo for reception must be of high quality.
Although Mobius didn't like drinking it very much, he could easily taste whether it was good or bad.
He has been exposed to a lot of things through observation and exposure.
Chief of Staff Crane, who followed from behind, sat on the other side of Sengoku, and Borsalino sat down right after him.
As for the other generals, they stood behind them.
The door to the conference hall gradually closed.
"Just tell me what we can do to help you."
Zhan Guo also roughly understood Mobius's character, so he didn't say anything nonsense.
Seeing this, Mobius showed a smile on his face.
"Then I'll tell you straight."
"I came here specially this time because of a certain pirate."
"Pirate?"
Hearing these two words, everyone else present was a little surprised. When did Mobius become associated with a pirate?
The expressions of Zhan Guo and others also became serious.
Being related to pirates, it has touched their sensitive nerves.
Look at each other.
What to do? Help catch a pirate? Cancel the bounty?
Before they could ask, Mobius continued.
"Sagros Atargar, you may know a little bit about him. He used to be one of my men."
"He got off the ship in the South China Sea about a month ago, and should have gone out to sea by now."
Sykes, who was standing by, pulled out a photo from his arms and threw it on the table.
Everyone could see the face in the photo clearly; it was a young man with short dark blue hair.
"I just hope that the Navy won't create any obstacles for him before he goes to the new world and let him enter."
"It's just a small thing. Is there anything special about him?"
Zhan Guo asked doubtfully.
Letting a pirate enter the New World is indeed a small matter for the Navy.
After all, so many pirates enter the New World every year that the Navy can’t stop them even if they want to.
Especially in today's situation.
Of course, for some pirates who perform well and may pose a huge threat to the navy when they grow up in the future, the navy will also send strong men to kill them.
Due to the current shortage of manpower in the navy, there are many sea areas with relatively few naval involvement. These sea areas will become routes for pirates to bypass the navy's pursuit.
Most navies patrol around naval branches to maintain stability.
Only naval commanders like Sakaski would move freely like hyenas, searching for pirates everywhere.
Such a pirate with a background is actually quite troublesome, so Sengoku wants to find out clearly.
"Aitargar is considered our disciple. I think highly of his potential. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become one of the strongest kings in the new world in a dozen years."
Mobius did not hide it and smiled easily.
When these words were spoken, people couldn't help but take a deep breath and look at the figure in the photo, but they did not doubt the value of Mobius' words.
Because Mobius himself is a top monster.
"Of course, I don't think the navy has the ability to catch him, but some things are better said in advance to avoid hostility between the two sides."
"Telling him in advance can also avoid a lot of trouble. In the future, there is a high probability that we will not have a hostile relationship with the navy. You can rest assured about this, provided that you do not attack him."
There was silence among the navy in the conference room.
It's really not a big deal.
More importantly, is the meaning revealed in Mobius' words.
Zagros Atarga, a man who has yet to make his mark on the sea, has the potential to become a top monster.
In addition to potential, what else is special that caught Mobius's attention?
In Mobius' opinion, even if the navy really took action, they would not be able to catch this young pirate.
Do you have any special abilities?
"No problem. We will pay attention to this matter and will not send a really strong person to attack him."
Zhan Guo agreed.
"But we can't really ignore his existence. If we cause a big commotion, I hope you can forgive us."
If Atarga really became famous on the sea, the navy would not be indifferent and would have to make a symbolic arrest.
If it is really as Mobius said, it is actually a good thing, avoiding becoming hostile to the future maritime overlord.
Perhaps, this young man named Aitarga has already caught the attention of the Kingdom of Chronos.
"That's no problem."
"We won't stay any longer."
Mobius said, then stood up and left.
The actual conversation lasted less than three minutes.
