Legend of the Emperor of One Piece

Above the main hall, Kobra and Smoker sat in the host and guest seats respectively, talking politely.

The little girl sitting next to Smoker sat at the back and said nothing.

Kobula raised his glass to Smoker and said: "Thank you for your help some time ago, helping us defeat Crocodile and saving the entire country. I would like to toast you here!"

Smoker was still holding a big cigar in his mouth and said in a deep voice: "This is our world government's negligence, which caused Crocodile to conspire here to cause chaos. It would be great if Your Majesty did not blame us. I really do not deserve His Majesty's thanks."

Kobula sighed and said, "I can't blame you. No one thought that Crocodile, who has always been regarded as a hero by the people, would conspire to usurp the throne. Fortunately, we worked together and finally quelled this rebellion."

Smoker nodded, raised his glass and said to Kobra: "I came here this time because the World Government wants to ask Mr. Ziyang's opinion on something. He should be back today, right?"

Kobula was about to answer when he heard a burst of laughter outside the door.

"Hahaha! Colonel Smoker, what kind of wind has brought you here again! As soon as I heard you looking for me, brother, I rushed over immediately."

Before the Ziyang people arrived, the voice came over first.

The door opened, and Ziyang took Weiwei and strode in from the outside. The two of them first saluted Koubula, then walked to the seat opposite Smog and sat down.

Ziyang nodded towards Smoker and said, "Last time, Colonel, you left in a hurry, so I couldn't thank you properly!"

The little girl wearing glasses next to Smoker couldn't hold himself back and said crisply: "Mr. Ziyang, you should change your name to Brigadier General Smoker. Our Chief Smoker was promoted to Brigadier General by the Navy Headquarters three days ago."

Smoker whispered: "Dasqi, don't be rude. If it weren't for Mr. Ziyang, I wouldn't be a brigadier general."

Ziyang was stunned. He looked at the military rank on Smoker's shoulder and suddenly said: "I was negligent. I would like to toast you with a toast first and wish you a happy promotion."

After Ziyang finished speaking, he picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured a glass of wine. He first raised the glass to signal Smoker, and then smiled at Dasqi.

Dasqi blushed slightly and nodded in greeting.

Smoker also drank the wine in the glass and said: "This time it is also thanks to your blessing. The above said that the credit for this time is on my head. To be honest, I deserve it."

Zi Yang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brigadier General, don't be humble. If it weren't for you, our counterinsurgency wouldn't have been so smooth. But I don't know why you came to see me this time?"

Smoker nodded to Dusky.

Dasqi understood, turned around and took out some documents from the bag beside him and handed them to Smoker.

Smoker stood up with the document, walked to Ziyang, and said solemnly: "This time, I have brought you a letter of invitation under the order of my superiors. On behalf of the World Government, I formally invite Mr. Ziyang to serve as the First Emperor of the Shichibukai His title is 'Purple Emperor', replacing Crocodile!"

Ziyang also stood up and looked at Smoker in surprise.

Kobra also looked at Smoker in surprise while sitting in his seat.

After Ziyang took the appointment letter, he read it and asked Smog doubtfully: "Purple Emperor? A very impressive title! I remember that the Shichibukai appointed by the government are all world-famous pirates, right? But I am not a pirate now identity of."

Smoker shook his head and said: "It does not mean that pirates must be qualified to conquer the Shichibukai. The purpose of the World Government's establishment of the Shichibukai is to curb the power of pirates. The navy unites with the Shichibukai to form a three-legged situation with the four pirate emperors. , and are known as the three major forces of the Grand Line. Therefore, the appointment of Shichibukai by the World Government is related to his own strength and has nothing to do with his identity."

Smoker paused for a moment, looked at Ziyang and then said: "In this incident of defeating Crocodile, the World Government unanimously feels that your ability to defeat Crocodile head-on has proven that you have the strength to compete with the Shichibukai , so the vacant Shichibukai position is naturally yours."

Ziyang shook the appointment letter in his hand and asked: "If I agree to become a Shichibukai, what kind of rights can I enjoy? In addition, what kind of obligations should I fulfill?"

"The World Government invites the seven pirates to become the government's allied front, gives them power, and recognizes their pirate cause. It does not regard the Shichibukai as

The criminal, but at the same time requires the Shichibukai not to go against the government, must hand over part of the property obtained to the government, and also need to assist the government in fighting pirates when requested by the government. "

"It can be said that except for having to accept the forced summons of the world government and pay a certain amount of income to the government, you can move freely in peacetime without any interference from the government."

Smoker explained to Ziyang in detail.

Ziyang nodded and said with a strange smile: "Why do I feel that the position of the Shichibukai seems to be a compromise of the World Government? Smoker, according to your personality, you should hate the Shichibukai very much. Why did you agree to it this time? Can you bring me a letter of appointment?"

Smoker smoked his cigar and said after a while: "Yes, in my opinion, the emergence of the Shichibukai itself represents the weak side of the world government. Moreover, the power of the Shichibukai is too great, and one day they will escape from the world. The government is in control!”

"Oh?" Ziyang looked at Smoker in surprise.

"But from what I know so far, you are different from the other Shichibukai. You are not a pirate yourself, and you are closely related to the Kingdom of Alabasta. Your background is somewhat similar to that of the Empress of the Shichibukai, so I You can look at it differently.”

Ziyang put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "It turns out that the Brigadier-General thinks so highly of me. I am really flattered."

Ziyang paused for a moment, then continued: "Then I will accept this appointment as Shichibukai. Having this status will make it easier for me to deal with the Navy."

Smoker nodded.

At this time, Dasqi stepped forward and said with a little red face: "Sir Ziyang. Since you have accepted the appointment, I should also call you Lord Ziyang. Ever since I heard a series of things about you defeating Crocodile. , I have always respected you, Dasqi, I hope you can keep your true intentions, and never do the same things as Crocodile in the future that deceive and disturb the people."

"Dasi Qi, you are talking nonsense again!" Smoker shouted loudly from the side.

Ziyang smiled and said: "It's okay. Dasqi has a straightforward personality and is a good girl. I promise you that you will keep your heart and be kind to the people. You must also work hard, and you will definitely be a general in the navy again in the future."

Dasqi's face turned red and she hurriedly excused herself and walked to Smoker's side.

Seeing that Ziyang had accepted the appointment letter, Smoker felt relieved, so he took Dasqi to say goodbye to Ziyang and the others and left.

Only Ziyang, Weiwei and Kobula were left in the main hall.

"Zi Yang, why did you accept the title of Qiwuhai?" Weiwei said from the side.

Ever since what happened with Crocodile, Weiwei has been very dissatisfied with the title of Shichibukai, but she was embarrassed to say it when Smoker and others were present just now.

"Weiwei, just because Crocodile is cunning and ferocious, it doesn't mean that all the Shichibukai are evil people. With my identity as a Shichibukai, it will not only make it easier for us to go to sea to do things in the future, but it will also be a safe guarantee for the kingdom."

"The title of the Shichibukai has a special deterrent effect on pirates. Don't forget that after Crocodile came here, the kingdom was less harassed by pirates."

Ziyang Wen explained to Weiwei.

Weiwei nodded and understood the reason why Ziyang accepted the canonization.

"Yes. And there is another difference between Ziyang and Crocodile." Kobra also walked over, stroking his beard and smiling.

"Oh? What else is different?" Weiwei looked at her father and asked.

Kobula looked at Weiwei and Ziyang and suddenly showed a strange smile: "You two must be together in the future. I only have this daughter, so Ziyang will be half the master of the kingdom in the future. You Have you ever heard of a person who, as the owner, kicked himself out of the house? Hahahaha!"

Weiwei's face suddenly turned red and she stepped on Koubula hard.

Then he looked at Ziyang who was also laughing.She yelled: "You are all bad people! I will ignore you."

After saying that, he covered his face and hurriedly ran outside.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

The laughter of an old man and a young man rang out in the hall.
