Six Paths of Pirates

Chapter 182

After getting Virgo's report, Nagato regarded Aokiji as a possible breakthrough.

On the other hand, Wulaoxing actually didn't have any good intentions towards Aokiji.

In fact, Virgo's news is true, and Aokiji did make a good relationship first after hearing the news. The problem is that the news Aokiji got is a bit problematic.

What he and Virgo learned was that the position left after Akainu's promotion will be finalized, and the higher-ups tend to be those with natural abilities.

There is nothing wrong with the second half of the sentence, but the result of the first half of the discussion with Wu Laoxing is different. You must know that Wu Laoxing is not talking about the former general of Akainu, but about removing Aokiji.

So the truth is actually: the five old stars do intend to support Virgo, and among the people in the army who can help, Akainu has always been optimistic about Virgo. I have always been perfunctory in work, so there is no need to encourage both, and there is only one Aokiji left.

But there is a problem with Aokiji, that is, it may be wrong with Virgo, who is supported by Akainu, not to mention letting him know that his position is not guaranteed, it is even more impossible to help him.

So Wu Laoxing played a trick, pretending to disclose information to Aokiji, and let Aokiji take the initiative to approach Virgo, speed up the training and momentum of Virgo, and replace him when the time is right.

The Five Old Stars are not old-fashioned, or even cunning and cold, but this is often the case for those in positions of power, let alone the five people who have been in power for a long time. For them, loyalty and dedication are far more important than ability, and It was at this point that Aokiji lost to Virgo greatly.

Aokiji was kept in the dark about all this, and without knowing it, he had already been treated as a tool by both sides, even if he was a dignified general, it seemed a bit pitiful.

As for the two parties behind the scenes, Wu Laoxing thinks that the plan is not hindered, and Nagato does not know the overall situation, but from the outside, Wu Laoxing is obviously a loser.

Regardless of whether you know the arrangement of the Five Old Stars behind the scenes, Nagato's push of Virgo up is sure to make a profit, especially at this moment, it is completely unexpected that Aokiji was sent to the door inadvertently Great gift.

As a result, the net against Nagato that Wu Laoxing had finally arranged had quietly torn a gap.

Of course, all of this is still brewing in secret, and whether the final result is good or bad depends on the speed of their respective advancements.

Andor, the royal palace of Puig City.

Nagato cut off the output of Chakra, and the magic lamp body technique also stopped, and Virgo, who was originally a phantom, disappeared completely without leaving any trace.

Because of Aokiji's one sentence, ordering the mobilization of intelligence searches and undercover investigations has already been considered as a sufficient response, so the matter is considered to be over, and we can only wait for the news to be sent back for the time being.

All the important matters at hand have been arranged, just when Nagato wanted to take advantage of this rare leisure time to be alone to recover and check for omissions, a voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, it's time to dine."

After hearing this, Nagato looked out of the window, only to realize that it had already fallen into the night before he knew it.

"Is it Viola? Come in." Nagato said after distinguishing the voice outside the door.

The hall door opened slowly, and it was Violet standing outside, and behind her, two attendants followed inside with various meals.

"I heard that His Majesty has been inside since noon, and I was worried that you would forget the time. As expected, I knew that Your Majesty hadn't eaten yet as soon as I asked the palace cook." Violet walked to the small table on the other side, and ordered the attendants to prepare the dinner. Said aside.

Although it is a royal palace, there are no feudal rules, and a large building Nagato cannot live in alone, so it has always been a bit semi-open. The workplace is similar to the White House of Nagato I, so high-ranking officials can enter and exit without hindrance.

However, it was Nagato's special instruction to walk around like Violet and arrange imperial meals.

When the food was served, the attendants stepped back, and Violet hurriedly pulled the long door and sat down: "Hurry up and eat, or it will be past the meal time."

"Okay." Feeling the beauty's concern, Nagato also felt warm, smiled and stood up.

"Have you eaten yet?" Nagato first asked after Shibuka sat down, knowing that Violet hadn't eaten yet, he greeted him, "Let's eat together."

Violet had this intention, and immediately sat beside him with a smile when she heard Nagato's words.

Western-style food is the mainstream in this world, but Nagato's choice is naturally Chinese food. He gave Violet a slice of the best fish belly, and said, "I've worked hard on you recently."

Violet glanced at him, her eyes were full of sweetness, probably like this for people who are in love, a slight move by the other party is enough to arouse infinite joy.

The relationship between the two has been officially confirmed by the Fishman Island and his party. Now Violet is no longer a unilateral pursuit, and Nagato's initiative is well known to everyone. Among the people around him, Cyrus is naturally happy to see the result, Others also hoped for good things. After all, as Nagato, as long as he nodded himself, everyone could only send blessings.

The two chatted about the news and anecdotes of the previous voyage, happily forgetting, it was supposed to be meal time, but they didn't eat much.

As he said this, he couldn't help but talk about Shirahoshi, and Violet suddenly asked Nagato hesitantly: "Your Majesty, do I want to bring Rebecca into the palace as well? It's not for me, just Sometimes I have something to do and I can't accompany Princess Baixing, she is too lonely by herself."

"Shirahoshi? You have a good relationship with her now?" Nagato smiled.

Violet's eyes widened, she patted Nagato and said, "Yes, Bai Xing was dragged out by you at such a young age, how pitiful she is alone. There are still two days left on the way here, so I found time to chat with her , is really a very cute and innocent child.”

Violet complained: "Don't look at her being provoked by you to let go of her big talk in Dragon Palace City. Many times I have seen her hiding in the room and crying."

"Is that so." Nagato took a mouthful of vegetables and sighed softly, but did not reply to Violet immediately.

Just when Violet was not sure what Nagato's attitude towards Shirahoshi was, and was worried that he simply regarded Shirahoshi as an ancient weapon, Nagato said: "Of course, it's best if you take care of Shirahoshi with your heart. Recognize a sister."

"Scared me to death." Violet, who was in a roller coaster mood, couldn't help but glared at Nagato in embarrassment, then picked up a piece of sashimi covered with wasabi and stuffed it into Nagato's mouth, "I want you to talk." Big gasp."

Nagato was hit by one of the foods he hated the most, as if his nasal passages were pierced. It took a long time to recover, and smiled wryly: "I'm just eating. It's shameless to talk while chewing vegetables."

"I don't care." Violet said angrily, seeing that he was about to speak, she immediately cooked another piece of green sashimi, "How dare you argue?"

Nagato had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender: "Yes, yes, I was wrong."

The two of them were joking around so naively, if there were outsiders around, they would definitely be surprised by this, but they never thought that the mighty and notoriously indifferent Liu Dao would look like this.

I don't know how long it took, but when the dinner was over, the moon was already high in the night sky. Obviously, the two of them were not fast enough to eat so that the time had already come to the middle of the night.

The conversation wasn't necessarily enjoyable, but the food had already been eaten, and the originally fiery and joyful atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and Violet's eyes wandered unsteadily.

Just as she got up to leave, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed her: "Don't go back today, Viola."

Violet froze for a moment: "But Your Majesty..."

She thought in her heart that she should go, but she had no strength on her feet, and her cheeks were blushing due to the rapid beating of her heart.

But Nagato didn't wait for her to say no, he had already embraced the person in front of him.

Thin clouds covered the bright moon, and there was silence outside the palace.
