Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy
Chapter 578 King Liku’s worries
Hearing Skyler's confident words as always, Dorag also smiled. Yes, what's the point of just living?No matter how you live, your lifespan is limited.
But being able to create infinite splendor in a limited life is what you are capable of. And fighting for the oppressed people in the world must be considered very exciting.
"Skyler, when the day I'm looking forward to comes, it will be wonderful, right?"
But Dorag still asked with some uncertainty. He needed to have some extra confidence, and the only person he knew who could give him this kind of power was... this sister.
"Dorag, we can't fight to the death for 20 years just for a piece of chicken feathers. That day will be wonderful."
"Haha~ If I can't wait for that day, then you must remember every detail. I will wait for you to describe it to me."
"Sorry, I don't want to die when I think about meeting each other after death."
Bardigo, Dorag looked at the phone bug, with Skyler Gray's ending and ending still echoing in his mind. His face was helpless and happy. In the end, he just clenched his fist, restrained his movements, and waved in the air. one time.
In Dressrosa, Skyler calmed down and walked out of the studio. Outside the studio, Rosinandi also took back his abilities with a gentle smile.
"Sir, let's go to Dressrosa Palace now?"
"Well, tell them to come over."
Skyler nodded, and Rosinandi also took out his phone bug, leading the way for Skyler while contacting Nurkic.
When Skyler arrived at Dressrosa Palace, he sensed the arrival of Nurkic and others before he saw King Riku, but Skyler did not insist on dining together in the same hall.
After all, she didn't hate King Riku, so there was no need to embarrass him, and she was somewhat curious about the reason why King Riku was looking for her.
After all, the only reason Skyler could think of for King Riku to find her was for the shipyard in Totland, or surrounding matters related to this.
You can't... King Riku ask her about national policy, right?
It's said to be a dinner party, but it actually started in the afternoon. Dressrosa can now be said to be one of the richest franchise countries, and King Riku had made preliminary preparations before inviting Skyler.
In particular, this was not the first day that King Riku met Skyler. The previous world conferences made him understand what a banquet for Skyler should be like.
In fact, he had long been prepared for Skyler to bring all the navy who came to Dressrosa to attend the banquet, and even prepared the craftsmen to smash the wall at any time, but he was not so eager before Skyler agreed. .
It's just that this time he invited Skyler to a banquet without breaking the wall, which was a bit beyond King Riku's expectation. Of course, this is a good thing. After all, who wants to tear down the house for fun?
The Dressrosa royal family is obviously very serious about this banquet. It is not yet dinner time, but all kinds of drinks and snacks have been served, and there are many waiters passing by.
Skyler took a cocktail from a waiter. Her superhuman sense of smell allowed her to accurately determine that it was a non-alcoholic cocktail.
After taking a sip, it felt like mixed juice. Skyler raised his eyebrows, looked at Rosinandi and Nurkic, and asked, "What is this called?"
"San Francisco, sir."
Rosinandi, who was more familiar with Dressrosa, said the name of the cocktail earlier. Skyler nodded and said to Nurkic: "Let Leon learn from it, and you also learn from it. "
"Yes, sir."
Nurkic nodded, not surprised by this. After all, Leon's recipes were constantly evolving. When Skyler tasted some good delicacies, he would also let Leon be included in the recipe.
Of course, there are some that Skyler likes a lot, but they are not included in the recipe because many of the ingredients are difficult to circulate, such as the watery meat in the Seven Waters Capital.
Watery meat is just like its name, it is extremely tender, but as long as it is meat, it is difficult to transport it over long distances. Moreover, once meat is frozen and then thawed, it will lose a lot of water, and it is difficult for merchant ships to transport it. Guarantee ultra-long-term low-temperature preservation.
Once thawed, not only will water be lost, but it will also deteriorate over time. Even if a transfer station replenishes ice for freezing, when it is refrozen, the water in the cells will freeze and pierce the cell membrane, resulting in a loss of taste. .
Therefore, before the problem of cold chain transportation is solved, it is extremely difficult to eat high-quality water and meat outside the Capital of Seven Waters, unless... someone with the ability to freeze can carry out special transportation, such as Kuzan.
But the cocktail is different, especially the one in the hands of the chief. When the time comes, the new base of the Zhanye detachment will not be too far from Dressrosa. Even if there are some special fruits, they can be delivered with low or even no damage.
"Lieutenant General Skyler!"
Just as Skyler was tasting the food and wine prepared by the Dressrosa royal family, King Riku III, who had changed into a costume, also arrived with Violet, who had a somewhat reluctant expression on his face.
Violet was obviously not disgusted with Skyler, but was actively or passively resisting meeting the mysterious man. After all, she had a feeling that she would learn the identity of the mysterious man today.
Regarding this point... Violet's mood is very complicated. She wants to know the mysterious person, but she doesn't want to get to know him through someone else's introduction.
Skyler didn't even notice her, he just nodded to King Riku and said, "Long time no see."
"It's been a long time."
King Riku nodded. The last time the two met was at the World Conference three years ago, and the World Conference could only be called a meeting. He stretched out his hand toward the inner court and said:
"Lieutenant General Schuyler, please, please prepare in a hurry and fail to entertain us well. Please give me some thanks."
Skyler did not reply to such polite words. After all, in her opinion, such words would embarrass herself rather than embarrass others. She was more willing to embarrass others.
Obviously no one dared to accuse her of being rude, and King Liku just pretended not to realize it and brought Skyler, Rosinandi and Nurkic beside her into the inner court.
As for the others, even Ace and others, they were very sensible and did not follow them at this time. Even Luo did not dare to say that he understood the affairs of Zhanye detachment, Night Emperor's troops, and Skyler himself, let alone Someone else.
The inner courtyard was much smaller than the banquet hall just now, but the richness of food and drinks was not reduced, which made Skyler very satisfied. When he came to a table, Skyler did not wait for the waiter to pull out the chair, and he came very naturally Pull up a chair and sit down.
This made the waiter a little embarrassed and panicked, but King Riku obviously understood Skyler's behavior very well and just nodded to the waiter without saying anything.
Then, King Liku looked at Violet and said: "Lieutenant General Skyler, I haven't introduced you yet, this is my daughter Ovielet, Ovielet..."
Ovelet stood up, saluted in a very polite manner, and then said: "Lieutenant General Schuyler."
Skyler nodded without asking about the other members of King Liku's family. Then he glanced at Rosinandi and Nurkic and said:
"Nurkic, the other one, Rosinandi, knows King Riku better than I do."
"I dare not forget Colonel Rosinandi's help to Dressrosa. This is Colonel Nurkic's first formal meeting."
King Riku said with a smile, while Violet was looking at Rocinante. She felt that the name sounded familiar, but she forgot where she heard it.
Several people chatted in the inner court for a long time. King Riku, as the King of Dressrosa, expressed all the courtesy and politeness that he should have. Then he looked at Violet and said:
"Violet, why don't you go and see how the chefs are preparing?"
"what?"
Violet, who had been staring at Rosinandi, suddenly trembled, then looked at King Liku in confusion, and then looked at the waiter on the side, but King Liku gave her a look and a nod.
As a daughter, Violet understood her father's subtext and was a little reluctant, but nodded helplessly, got up and left.
King Liku looked at the leaving figure of his youngest daughter with a smile. At least this daughter would not want to leave him. Then he looked at the waiter on the side, raised his hand and said:
"You all should go down and get ready. You don't have to stay here anymore."
The waiters took the order and left, and King Riku immediately looked at Skyler with a smile, and kept glancing at Rosinandi and Nurkic.
Skyler understood what King Riku meant. Obviously he wanted to talk about something that was not convenient for public disclosure, but as we all know, she, Skyler Gray, is a person who trusts her subordinates. Therefore, Skyler said directly:
"King Riku III, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. I completely trust my two lieutenants, even if it is about Totland."
When King Riku heard Skyler mention Totland, he took a breath and looked at Nurkic and Rosinanti nervously, but there was no surprise on their faces.
There was even some surprise and thoughtfulness in their eyes. Obviously, both of them knew what Totland represented. King Liku thought for a moment and gathered his robes.
He still doesn't like dressing like this. If it's not for etiquette, he prefers to wear armor, especially the Spartan-style one, even if a bastard wearing Spartan-style armor kidnapped his eldest daughter !
King Liku took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then said: "Lieutenant General Skyler, you also know that the Dontata Kingdom has now become a member of the World Government and has the qualifications to participate in the World Conference."
"Ok?"
Skyler nodded. She knew all this, but she didn't understand why King Riku wanted to reveal it. King Riku didn't keep Skyler waiting for long and continued:
"You have never been in contact with the Dontata clan, and maybe you don't know much about them. They have a very admirable quality, that is, they never lie, and they are easily fooled by lies.
So... I didn't tell them everything about the shipyard, they just knew they needed to plant trees, but the purpose and... something deeper, I didn't tell them. "
"That's good. After all, they are just one part of it, just do what they do."
Skyler continued to nod, while King Liku had a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "But in the past few years, the Dontata clan has planted a considerable number of trees in the Totland Sea area.
Based on the shipyard's order volume, these tree-pig-dog shipyards will take ten years or more, but as you know, we don't just have orders on the surface.
Therefore, the actual number of ships built by the shipyard is much higher than the number of orders, which results in the shipyard having to consume more trees.
I am worried that when King Ganjo of the Dontata Kingdom attends the World Conference next year, he inadvertently reveals this news, which will arouse the suspicion of the World Government. "
The King of Hearing Library III spared a lot of time, just to talk about this matter, Skyler frowned and said: "I don't like to worry about something that may not happen.
And, what if shipyards build more ships?Will the world government dislike having too many Baileys in its treasury?Won’t gold merchants stock up?
The shipyard is essentially a business club. Is there any problem in stocking some goods during the off-season?After all, boats are not seasonal products and will break down after a few days. "
Hearing Skyler's tone of voice be so relaxed, the worry on King Riku's face was not only not removed, but even more serious.
As the king of a franchised country, he has a lot of contacts with people from the World Government. King Riku knows very well what kind of people the World Government is, and they are all people who want to find some excuses even for no reason.
In particular, ships are not simply money, or something valuable such as gold that cannot be directly created to have an impact.
Pirates need ships, the navy needs ships, and allied countries need ships. Even the revolutionary army is no exception. Ships are an indispensable means of transportation on this sea and have considerable strategic significance.
And if the World Government discovers that the Kingdom of Dressrosa, the Kingdom of Dontata, and the New World Emperor Katakuri have stored a large number of ships, what will they think?
If a person fails to explain clearly, he may be directly labeled as endangering the world government. Then it is estimated that all the investment in Dressrosa in the past few years will be wasted, and even the citizens of Dressrosa will be affected. , and the Dongtata clan.
"Having said that, if the Five Old Stars ask about their motives, how should we answer them?"
King Riku III asked worriedly. Skyler adjusted his sunglasses and said, "Where is the shipyard?"
"Totland?"
King Liku's tone was not firm, even if it was true that the shipyard was in Totland.Skyler nodded and said, "Isn't that enough? When the Five Old Stars ask, just say they don't know and let Katakuri explain."
"This this..."
King Riku was a little confused when he heard Skyler's crude solution, but when he came to his senses, he felt that it was a bad idea.
After all, according to Katakuri's character, Katakuri is responsible for the safety of Dressrosa and Dontata's World Conference next year. Of course, he charges security fees.
In other words, they were all on Katakuri's boat on the way back and forth. If King Riku dared to trick Katakuri like this during the World Conference, what would he do when he returned?
Unless... before the World Conference is held next year, the navy has already established a new naval branch base, which will be escorted by the navy. But this will only delay the world conference at most.
After all, if the shipyard continues to develop, the Dontata clan will still have to station in Totland. It can no longer even be said to be stationed. After all, Katakuri has generously divided several islands for the Dontata clan.
Almost all the Dontata clan moved to Totland. If Katakuri wanted to cause trouble and used the Dontata clan as a threat, or directly used the shipyard as a threat, King Riku would have to go to meet Katakuri. Li arrangement.
Whether the arrangement was one of anger, resentment, or just pain, he had to endure it.
Therefore, it is definitely unreliable to put the blame on Katakuri. In fact, it is not just King Riku who thinks so.
When King Riku saw Rosinandi and Nurkic beside Skyler, they both had strange expressions on their faces, but there was obviously no supportive emotion on their faces.
But compared with King Riku, Nurkic and Rosinandi knew why Skyler dared to cheat Katakuri. The simplest reason was that Skyler was completely uncontrolled.
Of course, Skyler cannot dare to trick Katakuri just because he is not afraid. There is another reason, and that is that Katakuri needs Skyler for the moment.
Especially Nurkic, does he know that the two souls of Katakuri are suspected to be in the hands of Skyler. If Katakuri still wants his mother, he will not offend Skyler. .
Regardless of whether the two of them have made an agreement before, as long as they are smart, they will lower their posture slightly when they understand that they are asking for something from others.
And Katakuri is not only a fairly smart person, but also the "acting head" of a large family. Such a person can endure hardships and grievances, so it would be a pity not to cheat him.
But King Riku obviously didn't know this. He had only participated in the cooperation with Katakuri and the Revolutionary Army, and he was so frightened. How could he dare to participate in the resurrection of the emperor of the old era?
And even if he knew, he probably wouldn't be relieved, because in a way, he is the same as Katakuri. Katakuri has a group of younger brothers and sisters who are not strong enough to protect themselves.
In addition to his own family, King Riku also has the entire Kingdom of Dressrosa and the entire Dontata clan bound to him, so he has more to think about than Katakuri.
If it weren't for Skyler's guarantee and Katakuri and Drago's semi-forced invitation to cooperate, King Riku might not even dare to participate in the construction of the shipyard.
Rosinandi and Nurkic are also smart people who can clearly see the bargaining chips and concerns of all parties, but they will not speak out at this time. After all... they don't want to get hurt.
However, Nurkic still asked Skyler for instructions with his eyes. After Skyler nodded in agreement, Nurkic said to King Liku: "King Liku III, in fact, if you want to eliminate the risk in this matter, there is A simpler approach.”
After hearing what Nurkic said, King Riku finally gained some energy, looked at Nurkic, and asked hurriedly: "Colonel Nurkic, can you tell me more?"
“You’re welcome, the solution is actually very simple, that is, let the shipyard sign a large enough order with the navy, and extend the delivery date to five or even ten years.
Anyway, as long as the limelight is over, no one will remember these things. After all, there are so many seas, who cares about how many ships there are? "
King Riku's eyes lit up. Nurkic's plan seemed much more reliable than Skyler's plan just now to directly pass the blame to Katakuri, the King of the Sea.
And the current navy also has enough reasons to purchase more ships.However, after a brief moment of joy, King Liku asked hesitantly:
"But if the order takes five or even ten years to complete, the amount will be huge. Can the Navy really sign it directly?
What's more, this is just a cover. Whether it is Marshal of the Warring States Period or the future Marshal Sakaski, who will take the risk to sign an order that may never be delivered? "
Skyler had a high status in the Navy, King Riku knew this, but no matter how high his status was, Skyler was only a lieutenant general and did not have the right to sign such an order.
Sengoku and Akainu had no motive to cooperate, not to mention that the Navy couldn't afford such a sum of money.
Skyler also understood Nurkic's plan and King Riku's concerns at this time, waved his hand and said: "I will handle the order, as for the money...
Isn’t this why the order is not disclosed?Because the Navy cannot afford this money, it will have to wait until after the World Conference and the World Government allocates more military expenditures to the Navy before the Navy can afford to purchase it.
The shipyard's advance production is a recognition of the credibility of the navy and the world government. Isn't this great? "
Hearing this, King Liku nodded repeatedly, and then said: "Then this matter is up to you, Lieutenant General Skyler, although it is not my wish to involve the navy.
But please forgive Lieutenant General Skyler. After all, the future and even the survival of the Kingdom of Dressrosa and Dontata depend on this matter. "
"You are too nervous. What you are worried about may not happen. Of course, I will eliminate the risk."
Skyler is still so relaxed, which makes it difficult for people to think that she is reliable, but now King Riku can only choose to believe in Skyler. After all, if he does not believe in Skyler, he has no other choice.
After the business was settled, King Liku did not leave a few people to continue chatting. After all, although the purpose of this banquet was to talk to Skyler,... after all, the banquet was already organized.
So the banquet continued, and when the banquet ended, Skyler took the Zhanye detachment and the other three detachments on a journey called a cruise, but in reality it was a stepping stone.
Half a month later, when Skyler returned to the headquarters, he was about to talk to Sengoku to see if he could trick him before he left office, confirm the order, and at least unify the navy's willingness.
But as soon as the warship sailed into the Gate of Justice, Skyler saw a huge warship parked in the Crescent Bay that obviously did not belong to the navy.
"Is someone from the World Government coming? So soon?"
------off topic-----
I plan to change the title of the book. Although I am personally satisfied with the current title, it cannot be searched, which is really not conducive to exposure. I hope you can understand.
But being able to create infinite splendor in a limited life is what you are capable of. And fighting for the oppressed people in the world must be considered very exciting.
"Skyler, when the day I'm looking forward to comes, it will be wonderful, right?"
But Dorag still asked with some uncertainty. He needed to have some extra confidence, and the only person he knew who could give him this kind of power was... this sister.
"Dorag, we can't fight to the death for 20 years just for a piece of chicken feathers. That day will be wonderful."
"Haha~ If I can't wait for that day, then you must remember every detail. I will wait for you to describe it to me."
"Sorry, I don't want to die when I think about meeting each other after death."
Bardigo, Dorag looked at the phone bug, with Skyler Gray's ending and ending still echoing in his mind. His face was helpless and happy. In the end, he just clenched his fist, restrained his movements, and waved in the air. one time.
In Dressrosa, Skyler calmed down and walked out of the studio. Outside the studio, Rosinandi also took back his abilities with a gentle smile.
"Sir, let's go to Dressrosa Palace now?"
"Well, tell them to come over."
Skyler nodded, and Rosinandi also took out his phone bug, leading the way for Skyler while contacting Nurkic.
When Skyler arrived at Dressrosa Palace, he sensed the arrival of Nurkic and others before he saw King Riku, but Skyler did not insist on dining together in the same hall.
After all, she didn't hate King Riku, so there was no need to embarrass him, and she was somewhat curious about the reason why King Riku was looking for her.

"Lieutenant General Skyler!"
Just as Skyler was tasting the food and wine prepared by the Dressrosa royal family, King Riku III, who had changed into a costume, also arrived with Violet, who had a somewhat reluctant expression on his face.
Violet was obviously not disgusted with Skyler, but was actively or passively resisting meeting the mysterious man. After all, she had a feeling that she would learn the identity of the mysterious man today.

"It's been a long time."
King Riku nodded. The last time the two met was at the World Conference three years ago, and the World Conference could only be called a meeting. He stretched out his hand toward the inner court and said:

Several people chatted in the inner court for a long time. King Riku, as the King of Dressrosa, expressed all the courtesy and politeness that he should have. Then he looked at Violet and said:

King Riku was a little confused when he heard Skyler's crude solution, but when he came to his senses, he felt that it was a bad idea.
After all, according to Katakuri's character, Katakuri is responsible for the safety of Dressrosa and Dontata's World Conference next year. Of course, he charges security fees.
In other words, they were all on Katakuri's boat on the way back and forth. If King Riku dared to trick Katakuri like this during the World Conference, what would he do when he returned?
Unless... before the World Conference is held next year, the navy has already established a new naval branch base, which will be escorted by the navy. But this will only delay the world conference at most.
After all, if the shipyard continues to develop, the Dontata clan will still have to station in Totland. It can no longer even be said to be stationed. After all, Katakuri has generously divided several islands for the Dontata clan.
Almost all the Dontata clan moved to Totland. If Katakuri wanted to cause trouble and used the Dontata clan as a threat, or directly used the shipyard as a threat, King Riku would have to go to meet Katakuri. Li arrangement.
Whether the arrangement was one of anger, resentment, or just pain, he had to endure it.
Therefore, it is definitely unreliable to put the blame on Katakuri. In fact, it is not just King Riku who thinks so.
When King Riku saw Rosinandi and Nurkic beside Skyler, they both had strange expressions on their faces, but there was obviously no supportive emotion on their faces.
But compared with King Riku, Nurkic and Rosinandi knew why Skyler dared to cheat Katakuri. The simplest reason was that Skyler was completely uncontrolled.
Of course, Skyler cannot dare to trick Katakuri just because he is not afraid. There is another reason, and that is that Katakuri needs Skyler for the moment.
Especially Nurkic, does he know that the two souls of Katakuri are suspected to be in the hands of Skyler. If Katakuri still wants his mother, he will not offend Skyler. .
Regardless of whether the two of them have made an agreement before, as long as they are smart, they will lower their posture slightly when they understand that they are asking for something from others.
And Katakuri is not only a fairly smart person, but also the "acting head" of a large family. Such a person can endure hardships and grievances, so it would be a pity not to cheat him.
But King Riku obviously didn't know this. He had only participated in the cooperation with Katakuri and the Revolutionary Army, and he was so frightened. How could he dare to participate in the resurrection of the emperor of the old era?
And even if he knew, he probably wouldn't be relieved, because in a way, he is the same as Katakuri. Katakuri has a group of younger brothers and sisters who are not strong enough to protect themselves.
In addition to his own family, King Riku also has the entire Kingdom of Dressrosa and the entire Dontata clan bound to him, so he has more to think about than Katakuri.
If it weren't for Skyler's guarantee and Katakuri and Drago's semi-forced invitation to cooperate, King Riku might not even dare to participate in the construction of the shipyard.
Rosinandi and Nurkic are also smart people who can clearly see the bargaining chips and concerns of all parties, but they will not speak out at this time. After all... they don't want to get hurt.
However, Nurkic still asked Skyler for instructions with his eyes. After Skyler nodded in agreement, Nurkic said to King Liku: "King Liku III, in fact, if you want to eliminate the risk in this matter, there is A simpler approach.”
After hearing what Nurkic said, King Riku finally gained some energy, looked at Nurkic, and asked hurriedly: "Colonel Nurkic, can you tell me more?"
“You’re welcome, the solution is actually very simple, that is, let the shipyard sign a large enough order with the navy, and extend the delivery date to five or even ten years.
Anyway, as long as the limelight is over, no one will remember these things. After all, there are so many seas, who cares about how many ships there are? "
King Riku's eyes lit up. Nurkic's plan seemed much more reliable than Skyler's plan just now to directly pass the blame to Katakuri, the King of the Sea.
And the current navy also has enough reasons to purchase more ships.However, after a brief moment of joy, King Liku asked hesitantly:
"But if the order takes five or even ten years to complete, the amount will be huge. Can the Navy really sign it directly?
What's more, this is just a cover. Whether it is Marshal of the Warring States Period or the future Marshal Sakaski, who will take the risk to sign an order that may never be delivered? "
Skyler had a high status in the Navy, King Riku knew this, but no matter how high his status was, Skyler was only a lieutenant general and did not have the right to sign such an order.
Sengoku and Akainu had no motive to cooperate, not to mention that the Navy couldn't afford such a sum of money.
Skyler also understood Nurkic's plan and King Riku's concerns at this time, waved his hand and said: "I will handle the order, as for the money...
Isn’t this why the order is not disclosed?Because the Navy cannot afford this money, it will have to wait until after the World Conference and the World Government allocates more military expenditures to the Navy before the Navy can afford to purchase it.
The shipyard's advance production is a recognition of the credibility of the navy and the world government. Isn't this great? "
Hearing this, King Liku nodded repeatedly, and then said: "Then this matter is up to you, Lieutenant General Skyler, although it is not my wish to involve the navy.
But please forgive Lieutenant General Skyler. After all, the future and even the survival of the Kingdom of Dressrosa and Dontata depend on this matter. "
"You are too nervous. What you are worried about may not happen. Of course, I will eliminate the risk."
Skyler is still so relaxed, which makes it difficult for people to think that she is reliable, but now King Riku can only choose to believe in Skyler. After all, if he does not believe in Skyler, he has no other choice.
After the business was settled, King Liku did not leave a few people to continue chatting. After all, although the purpose of this banquet was to talk to Skyler,... after all, the banquet was already organized.
So the banquet continued, and when the banquet ended, Skyler took the Zhanye detachment and the other three detachments on a journey called a cruise, but in reality it was a stepping stone.
Half a month later, when Skyler returned to the headquarters, he was about to talk to Sengoku to see if he could trick him before he left office, confirm the order, and at least unify the navy's willingness.
But as soon as the warship sailed into the Gate of Justice, Skyler saw a huge warship parked in the Crescent Bay that obviously did not belong to the navy.
"Is someone from the World Government coming? So soon?"

I plan to change the title of the book. Although I am personally satisfied with the current title, it cannot be searched, which is really not conducive to exposure. I hope you can understand.
