Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

"General Akainu, are you here to inspect your future generals again?"

In the elite camp, Skyler looked at Akainu who pursed his lips and looked in the direction of the phalanx, and asked half-jokingly. Akainu heard the words and said: "He can choose more than one detachment, and he may not come to my detachment." .”

"I haven't said who it is yet, but it seems you are bound to win?"

After hearing this, Akainu realized that his thoughts were too obvious. Although there were many generals with "spiritual mysophobia" who had made it clear that they would not let Ace enter their detachment, the detachment that expressed interest in Ace still refused. Less.

Excellent recruits like Ace are not screws that can be manipulated at will. Their own wishes will also be taken into consideration.

And Akainu... doesn't have much of an advantage.

Although he is a general, he is General Akainu. If Aokiji showed interest in Ace, maybe Crane would help them persuade Ace.

But if it were Akainu or Kizaru, the latter might not be blocked by Kisaru, but if it was Akainu...then Kaku would have a high probability of persuading Ace not to choose Akainu as commander.

This is not just a personal grudge, or it really has nothing to do with a personal grudge. During the Battila Island incident, Akainu was firmly in the camp of eradicating all those related to Roger's descendants.

In other words, Akainu back then was determined to kill the unborn Ace.

In other words, Akainu was very dissatisfied with Ace's existence. Although after being persuaded by Kizaru and Skyler, as well as after two years of observation, Akainu had already made changes in his heart.

But other people don't think so. They all think that Akainu's statement of "monitoring every move of the son of the Pirate King to prevent him from tarnishing justice" expressed two years ago was his true thoughts.

In addition... Akainu is the current leader of the hawks, and his statement is not only his own statement, but also represents the statement of the hawks, and within the hawks... they do not agree with Akainu doing this.

Although that group of people were not even willing to call Akainu to the gathering, who made Akainu the general and the person who could best speak for their hawks?

Decades of military service have tied Akainu to the Navy Hawks. Every move he makes will make people wonder, "Is this the Hawks' decision?"

If Akainu did something like letting Ace join the detachment, it would be tantamount to making people think that Akainu felt that the Hawks' decision back then was wrong. Even the "pardon order" issued by the World Government, which they constantly opposed, would also So it was a big hit. .

Therefore, whether it is Akainu's "record" or the opinions of an entire faction, Crane must comply. If Ace really shows interest in joining Akainu's detachment, Crane may really persuade him to change his decision.

Akainu is not always stubborn, especially since he has been thinking about this for two whole years, and countless generals have explicitly hinted at him. How could he not understand?

But the characteristics shown by Ace made him come to this elite camp again and again, either knowing that Ace and others were training, or just looking at the juniors he was optimistic about like today.

When Skyler saw that Akainu did not support him, and even showed a tangled and angry expression, he understood his worries. Skyler looked in the direction of the square formation and said:

"General Akainu, if you really want Ace to be your subordinate, or even your student, you can directly recruit Ace. I will ensure that there will be no objection in Marine Fandone."

Skyler's way of speaking, which didn't even have obvious fluctuations in tone, was naturally cold and murderous. Akainu noticed it and asked, "What method do you want to use?"

"In their favorite way."

What's a hawk's favorite way to solve problems?Of course, that is resorting to force, and Skyler is not only a sharp sword to the outside world, but also a good hand in the nest.

It's just that over the years, she has intentionally or unintentionally won over various factions in the navy and made friends with various generals, so she never showed it. But if she can exchange for Akainu's "owe", then it is worth it.

"Lieutenant General Skyler! I don't want any internal fighting!"

But Akainu did not agree with Skyler's suggestion. Instead, he said very seriously. After hearing this, Skyler said easily: "I can make sure that no one knows about this."

"I know, but...I know!"

After Akainu finished speaking, Skyler raised his eyebrows, glanced at Akainu, and said, "I don't want Ace to follow a mediocre general."

"There are many outstanding generals in the navy. Even if he doesn't follow me, he can develop very well."

When Akainu said this, he felt a little... uncomfortable. Skyler twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Are there any outstanding generals in front of you?"

Skyler's compliments from the side benefited Akainu very much and made him calm down a bit. However, after thinking for a while, Akainu still said:

"Lieutenant General Skyler, I very much hope that Ace can join my detachment, but absolutely not through any illegal, illegal, unreasonable, and unreasonable methods. I hope you can understand."

"Of course I understand you, General Akainu. But you also have to understand me. I can't just sit back and watch Ace join a mediocre detachment, accept mediocre guidance, and eventually become a mediocre person.

I don't have to do those things, but General Akainu, you have to promise that you must fight for Ace with all your strength. "

Skyler's words were not polite, but Akainu was not angry at all. He looked in the direction of the phalanx and said with determination: "As you wish, I will do my best to get Ace into my detachment. !”

Hearing this, Skyler smiled and said: "General Akainu, you have to work harder in the next month. It is best to let this matter stop with Nurkic instead of spreading it to people far away." In the ears of Lieutenant General Crane who enforces justice in the new world.”

"I see."

Akainu understood that Skyler was asking him to resolve the conflict within the hawks, rather than raising the conflict to the level of the entire navy's decision. After all, when it came to He, He had to mediate.

The final result of the mediation, with the highest probability, is that Akainu alone will make concessions for all the other generals of the Hawk Faction and choose not to let Ace enter the detachment.

If Akainu can first resolve the attitude of the hawks toward Ace so that he will not encounter strong opposition to recruiting Ace, then Nurkic, who temporarily replaces Tsuru in the headquarters, can make the decision to let Ace follow him. Akainu.

But this is not simple, but it is not impossible. In the final analysis, it is a matter of chips. It depends on how many chips Akainu has and how many chips he is willing to spend for Ace.

Skyler looked at Akainu, thought for a moment, and said, "Ghost Spider and Dauberman, I will talk to them."

After all, it was about Ace, his "nephew", and Skyler naturally couldn't just hand it over to Akainu. As Skyler's contemporaries, Ghost Spider and Dauberman have gradually become the backbone generals of the Hawks, which is still very important.

Although there was not much communication, there was already a level of relationship during the same period, especially the emergence of Skyler, which gave the Navy a new generation division starting from their period.

Invisibly, Skyler also became the leader of the new generation. Skyler came forward to persuade these two people, but at the worst, he just had to offer some chips.

Skyler believed that Akainu himself could also win over many key hawks, such as Dalmecia, who had served as his assistant, and Stoloberg, who had been released by Kizaru and somehow became the hawk's lieutenant general. .

These are all things that Akainu can easily win over. What is more troublesome now is the group of major generals with a larger base. To be honest, Skyler doesn't have much contact with them and doesn't know them well enough.

As long as everyone does not have prejudices between factions, it is still difficult to win over, so we can only rely on Akainu himself.

After hearing Skyler say that he would talk to Ghost Spider and Dauberman, Akainu nodded. Among the new generation, Skyler's words may be more useful than him, the leader of the so-called hawks.

What he should really be worried about is the old guys among the hawks who are older than him and have wider connections than him. Moreover, the ideas of these people are particularly stubborn.

But it couldn't be solved at this moment. Akainu couldn't rush over and ask them for conditions. Even Akainu knew that such an extreme recklessness would cost more chips.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to leave, and Skyler understood and did not raise any objection. The two looked at each other for a while, and Skyler continued to ask:

"By the way, Admiral Akainu, how is your new warship doing?"

Hearing this topic, Akainu smiled instantly. It was an uncontrollable instinctive reaction. He nodded and said, "We have entered the debugging phase. If it weren't for Major General Deborah, this might not have happened so quickly."

"Did she come forward?"

Skyler asked, Akainu nodded and said: "Rear Admiral Deborah took the initiative to contact Punk Hassad and said that he wanted to try some new debugging on my warship, and they also accelerated the progress.

By March next year at the latest, my warship will be debugged and soldiers will be able to learn how to use the new warship. "

Although there is still half a year, it is not long. Although it seems that the warships of the Zhanye detachment only took one day, Vegapunk sent a team of researchers.

Continuously debugging the engine on the warship and teaching the detachment soldiers, plus the No. [-] machine on the Zhanye detachment warship has already been designed, so a lot of time can be saved.

But Akainu's warships are different. After all, after Unit Zero, the engines have been continuously improved in order to reduce costs and process difficulties. What is equipped on Akainu's warships is an updated version of the same generation of engines.

It is an engine that has not yet completed testing, and it is also an engine that will be closer to the popular version by then, so it will take longer to debug, but... Akainu is used to it.

We have waited for more than ten years, so what if we wait for another half a year?

Skyler looked at Akainu, who was as happy as a 50-year-old child, and couldn't help asking: "By the way, Admiral Akainu, you can't sail at will now. When the time comes... won't it be Ace who completes the first voyage?" ?”

Hearing this, Akainu's smile suddenly froze. He didn't seem to have thought about this issue carefully, but...when Skyler said this, it seemed true!

Even if the warship completes its commissioning in March next year and reaches the standard for sailing, then... he will not be able to lead the warship to complete its first voyage.

Seeing Akainu's gradually changing expression, Skyler quickly comforted him: "General Akainu, actually you have to think this way. If Ace can learn to master a detachment from the beginning, then this will not be good for his future development. Very beneficial?

He can even save a lot of time in learning to become a qualified general, so that... the navy can welcome an excellent general faster. "

Hearing Skyler's relief, Akainu's gradually sinking expression stopped. After thinking about it, he felt that Skyler was right, so he nodded and said:

"Indeed, Ace has the potential to become an excellent general, and even a general. If he can become an excellent general earlier, it will be a good thing for justice."

"Yes yes yes yes!"

Skyler hurriedly agreed, and at the same time observed Akainu, he was relieved when he found that Akainu's expression finally did not darken anymore, and even improved.

At this time, Akainu must devote all his efforts to solving the internal conflicts of the hawks, but he cannot be hindered by such "trivial matters", otherwise Akainu may not be able to handle it with his single thread.

The two separated at the end of the day training for the elite camp recruits. Akainu had no intention of entertaining Skyler because he would not notice these unnecessary etiquette.

He was very reluctant to even attend other people's banquets, let alone take the initiative to invite others.

Skyler also understands this about Akainu, and eating with Akainu is really tiring. If you talk to him about something while eating, he will put down the meal until he finishes talking to you.

If you have nothing to talk to him about, then just eat and say goodbye when you are full, which is very boring.

In addition, Skyler planned to contact Ghost Spider and Dauberman, so there was no politeness. After leaving the elite camp, Skyler came to the main staff office in the headquarters building.

Let Nurkic put down the work at hand and contact the adjutants of Ghost Spider and Dauberman first. It happened that the two of them would return to the headquarters after their cruise tomorrow, so they decided to have dinner together tomorrow.

At this time, it was in the final sprint period before the graduation examination, and Skyler was not in a good position to save face. He either did not enter the elite camp, or stood aside and waited like Akainu.

Therefore, Skyler had a lot of time, booked a hotel in advance, asked Nurkic to get the menu from the two adjutants, and prepared a table of meals that both Dauberman and Ghost Spider liked.

The next night, Ghost Spider and Dauberman also went to the appointment. After all, it was normal to have a dinner together during the same period.

Although the two knew that Skyler would not invite them to dinner for no reason, they still came. If there was anything they could do to help, the two did not think of refusing.

When old classmates meet, it's either to show off or to ask for help. It's the same everywhere, but Skyler deserves their help.

"Lieutenant General Dauberman, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, long time no see."

The two came together. After Skyler said hello, Dauberman nodded and said, "It's been a long time indeed."

Compared to his days as a recruit, Dauberman seems less dull, but on the contrary, he looks much more fierce.

Ghost Spider still looks like a ghost, but instead of being owed hundreds of millions by others, he has changed into someone who owes them hundreds of millions. Although he wants to try his best to greet Skyler in a friendly way, but... he can't do it. .

"Lieutenant General Skyler."

After holding it in for a while, Ghost Spider could only nodded and responded.

Skyler introduced the two of them into the private room. After sitting down, Skyler said to the waiter: "Hello, help us serve the food."

The waiter nodded and left, and Skyler also chatted with Ghost Spider and Dauberman, talking about the development over the years.

Although as generals, their actions and movements will be presented in daily, weekly, monthly and even annual reports, these polite words are still needed.

Since they had ordered in advance, a large table of dishes was quickly served. Seeing the dishes on the table, the two of them felt significantly better.

It is actually easy to see whether a person is sincere at the dinner table. If the person who is treating the guests orders the dishes that the person being invited likes, then the sincerity of the person who is treating the guests can be seen.

On the contrary, if you order ordinary dishes or even dishes you don’t like to eat, for example, if a person who never eats seafood is invited to a seafood banquet, then the sincerity of the treater will be questioned.

It may even be done intentionally to disgust the person being invited.

Skyler obviously attaches great importance to this dinner. There is not much contact between them, or in other words, Dauberman and Ghost Spider do not have much contact with Skyler.

But Skyler still ordered the dishes they liked. He had obviously done his homework in advance. In addition, Skyler had more strength, status, reputation, and power than them, which made them feel even more attracted. Attention.

This is a very strange, even deformed phenomenon.

If a low-status person invites a high-status person to dinner, no matter how hard you try, people will take it for granted, and at most they will just say "well done."

But if, on the other hand, a person with a high status treats a person with a low status to a meal with such sincerity, then it will make people feel valued and that the person treating the guest is "careful".

However, this strange and even deformed phenomenon is beneficial to Skyler, so she will not reflect on it or ask for changes to this phenomenon and culture.

When things were reversed that day, it was time for her to act as a "new youth".

"Stop sitting there. Food is just for eating."

Skyler said to the two of them with a smile. Since Skyler said this, the two of them were not polite and started to move. Skyler kept gesturing to the waiter to add more drinks to the two of them.

Skyler herself was surprisingly not in a hurry to eat. After all, if she started, this table would just be the bottom of the table. She had already eaten before coming here, so she was not hungry now.

The two of them were invited to eat and drink. After the wine had passed three rounds and the dishes had passed the fifth taste, the two of them had stopped. They only occasionally took a piece to suppress the smell of wine. After that, Skyler took a closer look and asked:

"Ghost Spider, Dauberman, what do you think of Ace?"

After hearing this question, the two drunken people also woke up. After all, the most discussed topic within their hawks in the past two years was whether Ace and Yamato could become marines.

The answer of the vast majority of hawkish generals was no. Although the two were not so clear-cut, they also voted against it.

After all, they have made a lot of profits from the big faction of the Hawks, so they can't start scolding the cook while still eating.

However, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not say goodbye. After all, the admirals now knew that Ace was adopted by Garp and raised by Skyler.

If you talk about death, it may directly offend these two naval heroes, so they just vote without expressing their opinions, leaving themselves some leeway.

And as the graduation period for this year's recruits approaches, and after Akainu made it clear that he wanted to include Ace in his detachment, this problem has become more acute.

Skyler raised this topic at this time, and Ghost Spider and Dauberman could naturally figure out what Skyler wanted. Skyler's meal was definitely not for nothing, it was to get them to agree to Ace becoming a marine. Even became Akainu's subordinate.

It's just that... although the two did not fully express their stance within the faction, as generals of the Hawk Faction, they subjectively did not want Ace, the son of the Pirate King, and Yamato, the daughter of the Fourth Emperor Kaido, to join the navy.

In addition, Skyler just bought a meal and didn't pay any chips, so the two of them were naturally unwilling to change their minds directly.

Seeing the two people just drinking in silence, Skyler also realized that these two people who looked like boring gourds actually had a lot of Xiao Jiujiu inside.

Not all hawk generals want to be like Akainu. Maybe they are the ones who fight, like to use force to resolve conflicts, and have no compassion for pirates.

However, when it comes to internal struggles, they are not bad at all, otherwise the Hawks would not become the largest faction in the navy.

Skyler did not intend to have a meal directly, so he asked the two people to change their minds. Looking at the two of them, Skyler picked up the wine glass and glanced at the waiter.

The already frightened waiter received this signal from Skyler and quickly left the private room, leaving only these three people. Skyler also took a sip of wine and said:

"I have a superhuman golden fruit, intercepted from Doflamingo's previous case."

"Lieutenant General Schuyler, do you want to give this fruit to our detachment? But we are two detachments, so we can't separate them."

Dauberman said with a smile, Skyler shook his head and said: "Don't say we can't separate, you two detachments are tied up, but you can't digest this fruit."

As soon as these words came out, the smiles on Dauberman and Ghost Spider's faces faded at the same time because Skyler threw out the information. They looked at Skyler, wanting to hear what he was going to say next.

Although Skyler's words were a bit hurtful, both of them knew that Skyler couldn't just come here to show off, he must be sharing some benefits.

"Sword Force, our secret special force, have you heard of it?"

Skyler put the wine glass back on the table, straightened his posture slightly, and said to the two of them. The two looked at each other, and then both shook their heads. Seeing this, Skyler continued:

"That is a secret force under the command of General Akainu. According to my understanding, the sword force is about to make a big move. Do you two... want to participate?"

"Does this have anything to do with the Golden Fruit?"

Ghost Spider also spoke at this time and asked, Skyler nodded and said: "Of course it does matter, the sword force is a force that wants to disintegrate the pirates from within.

The Golden Fruit will be an important part of this plan. I can't reveal more of it unless you apply for permission from General Akainu, but what I can say is...

The navy is about to get rid of the current situation where its finances are restricted by the world government. You two... you won't tell the truth, right? "

Seeing both of them shaking their heads, Skyler smiled and asked again: "So, how about talking about Ace now?"

Dauberman, Ghost Spider:? ? ?The cake is not even finished yet, and you want us to swallow it alive? !
