Pirate: I only come here for three things!

"But that's Onigashima, Kaido's current base camp."

Duanmu looked at Kennedy's expression again and again, and after confirming that the other party was not joking, he hesitated.

"I have thin arms and legs, how can He De rescue him from Kaido?"

"Of course you are not going alone. Didn't I say that you are leading the team? In other words, you are not going alone. You have a group of subordinates."

"Oh, then you are going to put Porusalino into my team and let me take command, right?" Duanmu heard this and stopped giving up. If he had a yellow ape under his command, how could he be afraid of a cricket? many.

As we all know, there is a difference between a general and a general. Compared with the Green Bull who was too stretched in the future, Uncle Kizaru's strength has always been quite stable. Well, it would be perfect if we exclude the possibility that he is a revolutionary army spy.

"If you put Porusalino into your team, how can you ensure the safety of so many of us here? Besides, he's not here yet!" Kennedy said dumbfounded.

"Then what virtue and ability do I have, can I take down people under Kaido? If I had this ability, would I still be in this position now?" Duanmu wondered if the guy in front of him was planning to play dirty and wanted to kill him with Kaido's hands. Own.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to act like a berserker or a spy." Kennedy was confident. "At this time, Kaido was hit hard, and we took the initiative to extend an olive branch to him."

"Who do you think our world government's allies are? What are the results we want to achieve?"

"The Kozuki family, if it succeeds, will it stabilize the hegemony of the world government?"

"No, we have no allies. The fundamental interests of the world government require a chaotic Wano Country. Whether the Heitan family has the upper hand or the Kozuki family has the upper hand now, it doesn't matter to us. "

Offshore equilibrium, Duanmu thought silently.

Simply put, the "offshore balancing" strategy means that in order to curb the development of the most powerful country in the region, a hegemonic country outside the region unites with weaker and stronger countries to form a military and political alliance to attack the most powerful country in the region and prevent It became the hegemon in the region and developed into a superpower empire capable of threatening the hegemons outside that region.

In reality, this policy ran through the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, and was its consistent executor from the Napoleonic Wars to World War II.

The Ninth Russo-Turkish War, also known as the Crimean War, was the victim of the war. Next, Austria was sacrificed in the War of Brothers, and then Napoleon II’s epic Waterloo, the First World War. The formation of the Three Emperors pattern... there is a conspiracy behind this.

Because this strategy is so easy to use and so unsolvable. That big country is happy with this.

Until they lost their game and before the most powerful war in human history began, John Bull chose the appeasement policy instead because they were unable to participate in another war like World War I. This is even the consensus of the entire society, including the upper class, which is very abnormal.

In modern history, the fundamental reason for the endless wars is the strong will of the upper class to promote war.

Sooner or later, the world government will be played by this offshore balancing hand, and will completely turn the world into a powder keg, or even completely detonate, blowing the entire world to pieces.

"So, the team you led went there in the name of an exchange group. If Kaito Serpent's alliance wants to get support from our world government, it has to accept many of our conditions. Of course, one of them, It’s about exchanging our key personnel.”

"Duanmu, this is a diplomatic visit. I looked at the cards in my hand and you are the only one suitable for this position."

"Anyway, I will help you with other things here. If you are not prepared to choose your own candidates, I can also form the best team for you. I will personally call you about Kaido's side. Docking. After a while, you will set off and take full responsibility for this matter."

Duanmu often sighed.

"Okay, then in what name will I go? If I go, how long will it take?"

"In name, it is to carry out anti-terrorism activities around the world."

"Realistically."

"Arms trade." Kennedy chuckled. "We, the world government, will be able to purchase seven layers of Wano's military output at a super favorable price."

Duanmu finally understood.

"So to put it bluntly, Quinn is just an addition..."

But he reacted quickly.

"No, the unsigned paper is just the paper in the toilet, and this so-called purchase agreement is just a shady agreement. We can even choose to tear it up at any time..."

Duanmu cannot be said to completely believe in the contractual spirit of the current world government led by the Tianlong people, but can only be said to be completely disbelieving.

"Well, you haven't answered my other question yet. If you want me to work for you, how about explaining some things more clearly?"

"How long is a period of time?"

"Three days? Five days? Maybe half a month will do. It all depends on you." Kennedy smiled.

"Mr. Kennedy, are you in a hurry?" Duanmu asked after being silent for a while.

"Why do you say that?" Kennedy paused while holding the coffee cup.

"Feeling." Duanmu smacked his eyes. "If I want to put it more clearly, I guess it's a presidential election?"

Kennedy was delighted.

"Yes, I am eager to find a reason to return to the Holy Land as soon as possible. Even if the position of Prime Minister is already in my possession, as long as I don't sit on it for a day, it will be in vain."

"But I can't go back directly. This crisis originating from Wano country allowed me to seize a huge opportunity, but it also made me tied up."

"I have to do this thing decently, but if I leave directly, there will be too many people who will make me less decent. In the face of huge interests, even I am very excited, how can I ask others not to take it with me?" Now how come these people in Wano are completely trapped in the quagmire?”

War costs money, but during the Iraq War, many people were making money like crazy. This job was so good. After the fight, it was difficult to say that the fundamental reason why the Bald Eagle had not killed the guerrillas there was that the local army did not want to completely deal with the area and then withdraw.

However, if things in Wano develop like this, no matter who takes over later, the decisions he makes will make more or less money, but in the end the whole shit basin is destined to fall on his head, Kennedy. Even though Kennedy had no involvement in what happened next, even though he had already become prime minister at that time.

Therefore, even if it is for himself, he must complete the affairs of Wano Country as soon as possible and decently. And he does not give others a chance to intervene. It is okay to make money, but his political life cannot be threatened. This is the fundamental bottom line for all his current actions.

In the final analysis, individual interests do not represent collective interests.

Of course, no individual will protect the interests of the world government completely and wholeheartedly.

Kennedy was quiet for a while, and then said: "I was right about you. Your view of the situation is really very capable. There is no doubt that you are a good candidate for politics."

Duanmu didn't speak, quietly waiting for the next step. Kennedy continued: "What you feel is correct. Specifically, the pressure from all aspects is very urgent. The overwhelming wealth of Wano has made many people excited. Even those high-ranking Tianlong people, looking at this There are quite a few people who directly contact me with licking their faces because of the benefits."

"As long as I let go, the person who takes over from me will do bad things. This is not something that can be controlled by his personal will."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? Our world government is obviously the strongest force in the actual sense. All our current military power can even directly destroy the giants or any one of the white beards."

"The Tianlong people have almost controlled the top power in the world, but the world government with such capital is so bloated and smelly."

"Duanmu."

"Ok?"

"I hate this rotten world." He said lightly. "When you finally have the opportunity to step into my position, you will know that choosing to live with the light is always the easiest option. But, I am different."

"Even if the world will be set off by fire from the sky, the earth will be torn apart, or even the whole world will be thrown into hell because of my actions, I will continue to do what I believe is right."

Duanmu was slightly startled.

"Maybe you were afraid that I would suppress you? Or even afraid that you would take away my achievements in Wano?"

"Go ahead and do it, I don't care."

"Okay, it seems I need to go to Kaido's place." Duanmu responded after a long time. "To be honest, I really lack someone who is shocking enough and can endorse me with real political achievements. This matter is the best thing for me."

"I'm glad you figured it out."

"Anyway, if I really want to go to Onigashima to find Kaido-sensei, will I be in a hurry?"

"No rush." ​​Kennedy still looked gentle and elegant. "It just so happens that your brother is going back to attend the funeral of Amiya's brother hosted by Zefa in the past few days."

Although Amiya is an adopted daughter adopted by Zefa's family, her relationship with her brother is actually surprisingly good.

Now that she got the bad news, she was on the verge of collapse. In the end, it was Cyborg Kei's constant companionship that allowed her to recover to some extent.

"By the way, you can also change the sword in your hand...if that doesn't work, at least change the scabbard. The scabbard you are using now is too conspicuous and can easily lead to bad things. Find a blacksmith shop in the city. If it’s just a scabbard, it won’t take much time and energy.”

The two chatted about other issues, which was relatively relaxed. The old fox looked at the little fox, and the little fox looked at the old fox.

"This tea break during work made me feel very happy." Although Duanmu never drank tea, and he was only holding a coffee cup in his hand.

Kennedy exhaled and said his farewell words.

"I think you should report it to your family as soon as possible. Well, is that place now called Ghost Island?"

"Well, a wonderful journey to the Ghost Island."

"I guess I'll just tell grandpa first." The grandpa he was talking about was, of course, Cyborg Kong.

And the reason why it is mentioned here separately is because of its meaning.

"My parents and brother, I'll probably notify them after we're done. It's not too important."

"By the way, after returning this time, your brother will probably become a general." Kennedy said to Duanmu while sitting on the chair.

"...Then I have to congratulate him in advance." Duanmu paused, knowing that his brother was already ready to give up being a general.

But didn't expect...

I don’t know who will be squeezed out by my brother in the end, will it be Akainu or Aokiji?

"In short, I will always reserve the position of chief secretary of the Ministry of Finance for you."

"Thank you for your kindness."

*Dividing line

"This Kennedy has bad intentions."

Steel Duanmu took his phone and started talking to the person on the other end of the phone.

"He also said it was a good job... If it was so good, would he not choose his daughter to do it? Instead, let me go?"

"It sounds nice, it's a huge achievement, but actually it's a huge pit waiting for me!"

On the other side of the phone bug is an old man.

"Oh, don't you think it's bad?"

"Quinn is a hot potato." Steel Duanmu said bluntly.

"Others, such as signing the arms trade agreement between the World Government and the Black Carbon family, are fine, but Quinn's matter is just a show of shame."

Even if someone is as powerful as Tianlong, they only dare to use it secretly. Why?

Isn’t it because of Quinn’s notoriety?

You are rich and unkind, but you can still clean yourself up. But you conduct human experiments...

Just wash the wool and shoot the Class A war criminals directly.

And because of Quinn's own value, it is basically impossible for the opponent to let him go casually. If Quinn is not released, he will naturally offend the Celestial Dragon who issued this mission, and if he chooses to save him...

When Quinn's ledger is calculated in the future, he will definitely be implicated in Duanmu. But at that time, would the Tianlong people stand up for him Duanmu?

Kennedy wanted to be a saint and not make any mistakes, so he made all the mistakes with his steel frame, right?

However, Duanmu had no way to refuse. However, he, Kennedy, used a negotiating tone. But after all, he is the one in charge of him now. If I don't let you, the steely Duanmu, preside over it and let Gion go around in a circle, won't I still have to jump into the pit?

This is also the fundamental reason why Duanmuwan disappeared before.

He Duanmu is really easy to use, but Duanmu is not like letting Kennedy use himself. Although Quinn's troubles do exist, there is no doubt that the compensation and pie given by Kennedy are actually in place. And it is true that there is a high probability that the promise will be fulfilled in the future. He will not suffer any loss in Duanmu.

However, Duanmu doesn't actually need the cakes he drew!

There's someone above him! Does anyone know how to help? Do you understand the value of the Zhenghaigull Flag?

Why do you have to risk your life under Kennedy's men again!

Really, he had vicious intentions. This Kennedy, if he caught me and used it hard, he was right.

Duanmu's teeth itched with hatred.

"And the negotiations with Black Carbon Orochi and Kaido are bound to be very troublesome."

Duanmu had a headache about this.

"Oh? Why." The old man over there is actually Duanmu's biggest supporter. Cyborg is empty.

"Because, Kaido and Black Carbon Orochi are two people."
