Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy
Chapter 427: Falling into a trap【20k】
"Lieutenant General Schuyler, Lieutenant General Schuyler..."
Bingshan was introducing the business scope of himself and others, but found that Skyler was distracted and called quickly. Skyler came back to his senses after hearing this and asked: "What's wrong?"
Akainu also looked in the direction Skyler was looking at just now, but didn't find anything, so he was a little confused, but he didn't quite believe that Skyler was distracted like Kizaru.
After all, he noticed Skyler's distraction just now. Unlike Kizaru, who first wandered away, then lost consciousness, and finally fell into a deep sleep, Skyler's distraction seemed to have a purpose.
There was no fussing or asking, but he took the initiative to come to the rescue and said: "This purchase of warships is for my detachment. You can continue to introduce it to me."
Although Akainu got rid of the siege, Skyler could not find the figures of the people just now, so he also focused on the meeting.
It is said to be a meeting, but in fact it is just a preliminary negotiation. Now these shipbuilding companies are about to merge, and all technologies will be integrated together by then. Bingshan's words also mean to regard Akainu's hull as a milestone.
Regarding the merger, Bingshan seemed to have no intention of hiding it from Skyler and Akainu, or perhaps he had already guessed the intentions of Skyler and Akainu.
The so-called ordering of warship hulls is just a reason, or it is just a incidental matter. Finding out the merger of the Seven Waters Capital Shipbuilding Company is the focus of the two people.
Although they have not officially announced the merger of the shipbuilding companies, the presidents of the shipbuilding companies frequently meet and talk about the new buildings that have appeared in the Capital of Seven Waters.
Major shipbuilding companies are also constantly holding internal meetings, and various shipbuilders are visiting each other. As long as anyone is paying attention, they can guess [-]% of it, let alone a world government with a complete intelligence network.
"General Akainu, Lieutenant General Skyler, I think it's getting late, so it wouldn't be right to stand here chatting all the time..."
Bingshan said, looking at the presidents of many shipbuilding companies behind him, and then turned around and said, "How about I form a bureau tonight and let everyone gather together and brainstorm together to build a perfect warship for the navy?"
Behind him, the presidents all agreed. Akainu also nodded. Skyler thought for a while and finally nodded. Dinner was inevitable anyway.
You have to pay for your own food, and if you organize the iceberg game, is it possible that you have to pay for it yourself?
Nurkic noticed Skyler's hesitation. He didn't notice anything unusual just now. He secretly thought that if Rosinandi was here, he might be able to find out why his commander was distracted just now.
After all, what Rosinandi is best at is peeking in the dark. As Skyler's adjutant in charge of the Night Emperor, Rosinandi is much more familiar with lurking and assassination than Nurkic.
Therefore, Nurkic feels that Rosinandi and Luo are left in Marineland, which is a weakening for the Zhanye detachment.
At least as his adjutant, he couldn't completely solve Skyler's problems.
Skyler took Nurkic, Hamilton, Jinbei, and Akainu and followed the iceberg and left the dock, while the others stayed on the warship.
After all, there are still a lot of pirates in the Capital of Seven Waters. I am afraid that a few ignorant pirates will do something to the warship. If there are not enough manpower on duty, there may be oversights.
The group of people arrived at a new building that had just been built in the Capital of Seven Waters. The junction between the first and second floors, as well as the roof, were covered with red cloth.
Skyler took a look and could only vaguely see the two letters "g" and "c". Because he didn't pay much attention to this matter, Skyler didn't use his knowledge or knowledge to sense or ask.
After entering the new building, Bingshan exchanged a few words with the staff in the new building, and then said frankly: "I wonder if General Akainu and Lieutenant General Skyler have heard about the upcoming merger of our companies?"
Bingshan's directness caught Skyler and Akainu by surprise. Skyler nodded and said, "I've heard some rumors. I thought it was just a rumor. Is this the location after the merger?"
Seeing Bingshan speaking out about the merger so directly, and Skyler's seemingly doubtful but actually extremely determined attitude at this time, several presidents of shipbuilding companies were a little worried.
After all, once these companies merge, it can be said that they have a monopoly on the shipping industry from here to Fish-Man Island, as well as all pirate ships, warships, and merchant ships in the New World.
As for the Four Seas, the Capital of Seven Waters has no intention of competing for the Four Seas market. After all, there are not many rich pirates and forces in the Four Seas, and the transportation costs are too expensive, so there is no need to compete.
Some franchised countries will also take the initiative to come to them to place orders. There is almost no need for publicity or setting up sub-sites. At the same time, the ships that can be built in the Seven Waters have overflowing performance for the world, so there is no need to get involved.
But monopolizing almost two sections of the great waterway is already a terrifying thing, and the ships of the World Government will also be affected to a certain extent.
After all, seven major companies had previously received orders for warships from the World Government through bidding.
Once merged, the merged company will become the only option. In this case, the world government will naturally be worried. After all, there will only be one voice in the Seven Waters Capital.
Whether or not we support the world government is put aside. When the orders for the world government are issued, there will be no mutual competition, and no one will deliberately lower the price, and the cost of the world government will naturally increase.
For this alone, the World Government has enough reasons to prevent them from merging, but Iceberg said it openly. Is he really not worried about Skyler and Akainu directly stopping it?
Skyler doesn't seem to be opposed to their merger at this time, but... businessmen don't have the ability to change their faces instantly, and they can, so can the navy.
Although Skyler is smiling now, he may not necessarily draw the knife in the next second.
Iceberg was also under great pressure at this time. Skyler's words made him understand that the World Government, or at least the Navy, already knew many details of their merger.
He has never concealed it, just because he is afraid that the Navy will think that they have any ulterior motives besides normal business mergers. Although... this seems to be a fact, it must not be seen by the Navy.
Therefore, Bingshan has always maintained an open and honest attitude, taking the initiative to release some information, hoping to stabilize the two generals, but looking at Skyler's current intentions, it seems that he knows a lot, at least there are no surprises.
In other words, in Skyler's view, the merger of their shipbuilding companies is already certain, and this information is very important. After all, it has only been a few days since the negotiations were actually finalized.
And everyone at the meeting promised not to announce it to the public for the time being, which means that all this should be in the "guessing" and "reasoning" stage.
But Skyler acted...too sure. The only people who dared to be so sure...were the only ones who attended the meeting that day and signed the merger agreement, and those who did not sign the merger agreement.
Bingshan determined that as a community of interests, the presidents around him would not disclose this information in advance. After all, there would be no benefit in revealing this information unless...
The Navy is determined to prevent the merger, so the leaker may get a flood of resources from the Navy order.
But if it’s not people like myself, then it’s most likely to be the bosses of small shipbuilding companies who refuse to sign the merger agreement.
Because once these seven major companies merge with some small and medium-sized companies, the sharing of technology and the exchange of resources will squeeze the living space of other shipbuilding companies, so... they are the ones who do not want to cooperate.
But what these people didn't know was that Skyler acted so confidently because he knew that these companies would merge and merge into Carrera Shipbuilding Company.
She didn't have the heart to guess what these people were thinking, but Nurkic, who was behind Skyler, looked at Skyler's back with an expression of admiration.
The good guy asked a question in a determined tone, directly deceiving all these people's attitudes. If not, his superior used a question, there would be no problem.
high!It’s really high!Sure enough, I must always remind myself that as Skyler's adjutant, I help Skyler solve problems, but he does not have to solve them.
My commander has this ability, but she has more important things to do, so some simple and insignificant matters need to be left to herself or an adjutant like Rosinandi to handle.
After finishing the self-examination in his mind, Nurkic looked at Bingshan and began to speculate on Bingshan's current psychology. If he was Bingshan, then...
admit!Then he asked the commander and General Akainu to come forward to finalize the merger of the company.
Bingshan ended his thoughts at this time, smiled, nodded, and said: "Yes, there are too many pirates now. If we don't merge, we will be bullied by the pirates.
By the way, we were originally scheduled to announce it to the public in three days. If General Akainu and Lieutenant General Skyler have time, I hope you two can attend and even cut the ribbon for our opening. "
Bingshan's statement was consistent with Nurkic's conjecture, so Nurkic withdrew his gaze and looked at his commander and General Akainu, thinking...
'At this time, this person should be the bad guy. This person obviously should not be his commander! '
After thinking about it again, Nurkic locked his gaze on Akainu's back. Sure enough, Akainu hinted and said before Skyler spoke:
"As the Navy, we will not take the stand of any force or organization that is opposed to justice."
Hingshan wanted Akainu and Skyler to stand up for the merger of their companies. Akainu, in turn, wanted Hingshan to stand up. Nurkic, who had guessed correctly, was not happy in his heart because...he was later than the person in front of him. step.
After hearing Akainu's hint, Bingshan and others also looked at each other. It is true that they cannot afford to offend the navy, let alone the world government.
But at the same time, pirates are also a customer group they cannot lose. In other words, making money from pirates is their way of making money.
The money earned from cooperating with the World Government is a minimum income, a necessary minimum income to keep the company from collapsing.
Of course, only the seven major companies would think this way. After all, in the past, only these seven companies were qualified to compete for orders from the World Government. Almost all other small and medium-sized shipyards were retail investors like pirates.
Therefore, they were only worried about offending the Navy and the World Government about this matter, but did not think about whether they would lose their jobs.
Bingshan hesitated for a while and then said: "General Akainu, Lieutenant General Skyler, you must understand that in the Capital of Seven Rivers, there are millions of civilians who need shipbuilding industry. Without shipbuilding industry, they will not even have a bite to eat." miss a meal.
The shipbuilding industry in the Seven Rivers Capital includes not only us in front of you, but also the shipbuilders, apprentices, laborers in our company, and even catering and accommodation that are not directly related to our shipbuilding company.
We shipbuilding companies exist not just to make money and enjoy ourselves.
If there is no family to support, who would want to deal with those murderous pirates! "
Hingshan said, watching Akainu's face gradually turn gloomy, and immediately scolded the pirate. Sure enough, Akainu's face recovered a little, and Hingshan continued:
"Admiral Akainu, we are just businessmen who do our duty. We will not and do not dare to make those principled mistakes. We firmly support the navy and the world government!
But we also need to survive, so we need to compromise, deal with criminals, do business, and sometimes risk being robbed or even killed, just to keep ourselves and our families fed.
I can firmly say that the thing I hate most in my life is pirates!Because of pirates, I lost my parents, my teacher, and my brother! "
Hingshan became more and more excited as he talked, while Akainu calmed down. Skyler didn't believe what Hingshan said, or... not entirely, but her suspicious gaze was not noticed due to the sunglasses.
The emotional card and the bitter flesh trick, Bingshan's words did have some effect on Akainu. After Bingshan scolded the pirates, he took a deep breath to adjust his mood and said:
"General Akainu, Lieutenant General Skyler, I'm sorry, I lost my temper.
What I want to express is that from my true heart, I will never stand on the opposite side of justice, but in order to survive, for me, and for the survival of millions of civilians in the Seven Waters City, I must make a deal with the pirates, even if it is against my will. Lift.
If you two can stand up for us, we will gain not only fame, but also a deterrent to pirates. If you two stand up...
I believe those pirates who raise a butcher's knife against us, our responsible businessmen and our simple craftsmen, will think twice. Isn't this a just act? "
After hearing this, Akainu nodded instinctively, while Skyler rolled his eyes when he saw this. This iceberg's acting... was more in the style of a drama, and the means of expression were too exaggerated.
When he talked about pirates just now, his clothes wanted to eat the pirate's face alive... It's not that no one would hate pirates that much, but... no one would show that kind of attitude in this situation.
What's more... what's in front of me is a businessman who has united numerous shipbuilding companies in the Seven Rivers City, completed the merger, and is about to become the CEO of the group.
If he can't even control his emotions... could it be that he is a failed student at the Academy of Fine Arts?The presidents of other companies who conquered the world with their speeches?But...this level of speech is still far from enough.
However, he just "performed" like this in front of Akainu, an admiral who also likes to speak his mind. Hingshan's performance may not even convince normal people, but... he just convinced Akainu.
Although Akainu has not yet explicitly agreed to stand up for the shipbuilding company that is about to be merged and reopened, judging from his intentions, as long as Skyler agrees, he will agree to stand up for them.
Nurkic also felt a strong sense of embarrassment about Bingshan's brutalist acting. He looked at his superiors and knew that the roles of good guy and bad guy should be changed at this moment.
"I think this matter needs to be considered. After all, our purpose this time is to order ships. If the plan you give after the merger is even worse than before the merger, then I will have to consider whether you are really sincere. .”
After hearing Skyler's words and her calm performance, Bingshan was a little disappointed, while Nurkic smiled. Sure enough, even with such superficial skills, his superiors also won.
Seeing that he failed to fool Skyler at all, Bingshan felt a little embarrassed, but he also saw that the Navy was not completely negative about their merger.
As long as it is not denied, then everything can be discussed.
In what Skyler just said, didn't he already put forward his first condition?That is to pool the technology and resources of shipbuilding companies like them to build a "perfect" warship.
Bingshan naturally knew that the Navy could not be so short-sighted as to just want a warship. After all, the engine that Skyler had just displayed surpassed all other hulls.
Perhaps, the warships given to Akainu are just the beginning. What the Navy wants is for the merged shipbuilding company to set a new standard, such as what the highest-standard warships look like.
Then, they can use this standard as 1 and push it downwards. The warships of the next level only need 70% of the best warships, and the warships of the next level need 50%.
After all, after integrating resources, it is time to come up with something good, otherwise the cooperation between shipbuilding companies will be meaningless.
Moreover, Bingshan had a feeling in his heart that if his guess was true, then in the next few years, the City of Seven Rivers might be able to receive a large number of orders from the navy.
But the prerequisite for receiving the order is that you and others need to build a warship with absolutely high standards. After all, only if the navy sees the performance improvement across generations will they be truly moved.
But on the contrary, if you are just perfunctory, then not only will you not be able to get enough orders from the navy, but even... this merger will be stopped urgently, right?
Feeling that this huge opportunity coexists with huge risks, the iceberg licked his lips nervously and said: "I understand, then tonight... let's eat first.
Tomorrow we will discuss several plans and try our best to build a most advanced warship hull for the navy so that it can carry all engines. "
At this time, after entering the building, the staff who were ordered by Bingshan also came back and whispered a few words in Bingshan's ear. Bingshan nodded, looked at Akainu and Skyler, and said:
"You two, the dinner has been prepared. We can discuss your ideas and needs while dining, so that we can tailor-make a warship hull for you."
Skyler nodded this time, because she was hungry all the way, and the cakes painted by Bingshan had no effect on her hunger at all.
The group of people followed Bingshan and entered a banquet hall. At this time, the tableware and food had been placed in the banquet hall. After taking their seats, the attendants brought them hot and wet towels to clean their hands.
Skyler glanced at the food on the table and was a little disappointed. The food was all exquisite, and the chef obviously put great care into it, but... if the food can't even satisfy the satiety function, then other scores will become irrelevant. It's urgent.
Skyler ate this dinner absentmindedly, but Akainu was in high spirits, and kept discussing his ideas for new warships with Bingshan and the presidents of other shipbuilding companies.
For example, it must be strong enough, preferably one that will not be damaged even if it collides with any pirate ship.
Another example is that the muzzle position must be fully reserved so that he can pack more cannons and carry out a saturation attack on the pirates.
For another example, the shape of the warship must be outstanding, and it is best to be domineering, so that pirates will be frightened and civilians will not dare to think of going to sea as pirates.
There is another point that Akainu particularly emphasizes, that is, there must be few prisons in the warship. After all, he only captures valuable pirates.
As for what is a valuable pirate?That is, pirates are valuable until the prison is full. Once the prison is full, the remaining pirates, or those encountered again, will be worthless pirates.
If you don't use the worthless pirates to carry out justice, how can you keep them for the New Year?
A few of Akainu's requirements for warships were reasonable, but most of them... made the presidents who were involved in the shipbuilding industry feel outrageous.
What are the dio requirements mentioned here!
It's not that they can't do it, but... it's just outrageous.
Not only them, but Skyler, Nurkic, Hamilton, and Jinbe sitting next to Akainu also had their faces twitching from time to time.
Good guy, are you ordering a warship?Or are you customizing toys?
Eat and drink enough... At least after everyone else has eaten and drank enough, the banquet is over. Akainu smiles. He has already told these people all the requirements for the warship that he can think of, and he will just wait for them to come up with a plan.
He wandered towards Skyler's warship, planning to recharge Skyler's warship before going to bed, and he had to be careful this time and try to fill it up as much as possible!
Skyler walked away from the team. She had to find a midnight snack. Otherwise, if she couldn't sleep tonight, she would have to ask Leon and Derek to make a midnight snack for her.
It’s better to wander around and look for local delicacies.
After Skyler wandered around for more than ten minutes, a snack street not far away attracted her attention. She subconsciously touched her waist to see if she had any money.
"Wait! It's me..."
Just when Skyler reached for his waist and accidentally touched the blade box with his finger, a voice sounded, and a thin figure came out of a dark alley and said:
"As expected of you, you were able to discover my existence twice instantly."
Skyler: "???!!!"

Bingshan was introducing the business scope of himself and others, but found that Skyler was distracted and called quickly. Skyler came back to his senses after hearing this and asked: "What's wrong?"

Hingshan said, watching Akainu's face gradually turn gloomy, and immediately scolded the pirate. Sure enough, Akainu's face recovered a little, and Hingshan continued:

After hearing this, Akainu nodded instinctively, while Skyler rolled his eyes when he saw this. This iceberg's acting... was more in the style of a drama, and the means of expression were too exaggerated.
When he talked about pirates just now, his clothes wanted to eat the pirate's face alive... It's not that no one would hate pirates that much, but... no one would show that kind of attitude in this situation.
What's more... what's in front of me is a businessman who has united numerous shipbuilding companies in the Seven Rivers City, completed the merger, and is about to become the CEO of the group.
If he can't even control his emotions... could it be that he is a failed student at the Academy of Fine Arts?The presidents of other companies who conquered the world with their speeches?But...this level of speech is still far from enough.
However, he just "performed" like this in front of Akainu, an admiral who also likes to speak his mind. Hingshan's performance may not even convince normal people, but... he just convinced Akainu.
Although Akainu has not yet explicitly agreed to stand up for the shipbuilding company that is about to be merged and reopened, judging from his intentions, as long as Skyler agrees, he will agree to stand up for them.
Nurkic also felt a strong sense of embarrassment about Bingshan's brutalist acting. He looked at his superiors and knew that the roles of good guy and bad guy should be changed at this moment.
"I think this matter needs to be considered. After all, our purpose this time is to order ships. If the plan you give after the merger is even worse than before the merger, then I will have to consider whether you are really sincere. .”
After hearing Skyler's words and her calm performance, Bingshan was a little disappointed, while Nurkic smiled. Sure enough, even with such superficial skills, his superiors also won.
Seeing that he failed to fool Skyler at all, Bingshan felt a little embarrassed, but he also saw that the Navy was not completely negative about their merger.
As long as it is not denied, then everything can be discussed.
In what Skyler just said, didn't he already put forward his first condition?That is to pool the technology and resources of shipbuilding companies like them to build a "perfect" warship.
Bingshan naturally knew that the Navy could not be so short-sighted as to just want a warship. After all, the engine that Skyler had just displayed surpassed all other hulls.
Perhaps, the warships given to Akainu are just the beginning. What the Navy wants is for the merged shipbuilding company to set a new standard, such as what the highest-standard warships look like.
Then, they can use this standard as 1 and push it downwards. The warships of the next level only need 70% of the best warships, and the warships of the next level need 50%.
After all, after integrating resources, it is time to come up with something good, otherwise the cooperation between shipbuilding companies will be meaningless.
Moreover, Bingshan had a feeling in his heart that if his guess was true, then in the next few years, the City of Seven Rivers might be able to receive a large number of orders from the navy.
But the prerequisite for receiving the order is that you and others need to build a warship with absolutely high standards. After all, only if the navy sees the performance improvement across generations will they be truly moved.
But on the contrary, if you are just perfunctory, then not only will you not be able to get enough orders from the navy, but even... this merger will be stopped urgently, right?
Feeling that this huge opportunity coexists with huge risks, the iceberg licked his lips nervously and said: "I understand, then tonight... let's eat first.
Tomorrow we will discuss several plans and try our best to build a most advanced warship hull for the navy so that it can carry all engines. "
At this time, after entering the building, the staff who were ordered by Bingshan also came back and whispered a few words in Bingshan's ear. Bingshan nodded, looked at Akainu and Skyler, and said:
"You two, the dinner has been prepared. We can discuss your ideas and needs while dining, so that we can tailor-make a warship hull for you."
Skyler nodded this time, because she was hungry all the way, and the cakes painted by Bingshan had no effect on her hunger at all.
The group of people followed Bingshan and entered a banquet hall. At this time, the tableware and food had been placed in the banquet hall. After taking their seats, the attendants brought them hot and wet towels to clean their hands.
Skyler glanced at the food on the table and was a little disappointed. The food was all exquisite, and the chef obviously put great care into it, but... if the food can't even satisfy the satiety function, then other scores will become irrelevant. It's urgent.
Skyler ate this dinner absentmindedly, but Akainu was in high spirits, and kept discussing his ideas for new warships with Bingshan and the presidents of other shipbuilding companies.
For example, it must be strong enough, preferably one that will not be damaged even if it collides with any pirate ship.
Another example is that the muzzle position must be fully reserved so that he can pack more cannons and carry out a saturation attack on the pirates.
For another example, the shape of the warship must be outstanding, and it is best to be domineering, so that pirates will be frightened and civilians will not dare to think of going to sea as pirates.
There is another point that Akainu particularly emphasizes, that is, there must be few prisons in the warship. After all, he only captures valuable pirates.
As for what is a valuable pirate?That is, pirates are valuable until the prison is full. Once the prison is full, the remaining pirates, or those encountered again, will be worthless pirates.
If you don't use the worthless pirates to carry out justice, how can you keep them for the New Year?
A few of Akainu's requirements for warships were reasonable, but most of them... made the presidents who were involved in the shipbuilding industry feel outrageous.
What are the dio requirements mentioned here!
It's not that they can't do it, but... it's just outrageous.
Not only them, but Skyler, Nurkic, Hamilton, and Jinbe sitting next to Akainu also had their faces twitching from time to time.
Good guy, are you ordering a warship?Or are you customizing toys?
Eat and drink enough... At least after everyone else has eaten and drank enough, the banquet is over. Akainu smiles. He has already told these people all the requirements for the warship that he can think of, and he will just wait for them to come up with a plan.
He wandered towards Skyler's warship, planning to recharge Skyler's warship before going to bed, and he had to be careful this time and try to fill it up as much as possible!
Skyler walked away from the team. She had to find a midnight snack. Otherwise, if she couldn't sleep tonight, she would have to ask Leon and Derek to make a midnight snack for her.
It’s better to wander around and look for local delicacies.
After Skyler wandered around for more than ten minutes, a snack street not far away attracted her attention. She subconsciously touched her waist to see if she had any money.
"Wait! It's me..."
Just when Skyler reached for his waist and accidentally touched the blade box with his finger, a voice sounded, and a thin figure came out of a dark alley and said:
"As expected of you, you were able to discover my existence twice instantly."
Skyler: "???!!!"
