Pirate: I'm really not a Super Saiyan

The meeting room of Shangri-La Island's government hall was unusually crowded.

As the new government's territory expanded, the people who once sat here went to various places within the new government's territory to carry out their own work.

Usually there are only a few senior executives who reside in Shangri-La and a few people who occasionally return to Shangri-La.

Long and Ivankov, the two leaders and veterans of the Self-Valiant Army, are now sitting here, and standing behind them are several of their close associates.

Originally, no one except the participants was allowed to enter here, but Xia took into consideration that the Self-Defense Forces had just arrived and this was their first time attending the meeting, so he did not remind them of this.

In the conference room, all the screens have been turned on, and the senior officials stationed in various parts of the new government's territory have all come online at the same time, waiting for the meeting to begin.

“Let’s get started.

As the president of the new government, I welcome the joining of the Self-Defense Forces!

Let me introduce to you, this is the leader of the Self-Defense Force, Monkey D. Long, who has been my friend for many years.

We both served in the navy, but Long had left before me and started his own army, the Self-Defense Force.

Before this, we had many nights of discussions and visions of the future, and it is hard to say who influenced whom. But what is certain is that Long's ideals and beliefs are almost completely consistent with the ideas of our new government!

These are a series of actions carried out with the premise of overthrowing the rule of the World Government and eliminating the tyranny of the Celestial Dragons!

Let us give you a warm welcome! ”

clap clap clap!

Led by Xia, fairly enthusiastic applause broke out.

Although Long's name is far less well-known than Xia's, he is still highly praised by Xia. These people all trust Xia. Since Xia said so, Long must have some outstanding qualities!

Just applaud.

After the applause, Long and Ivankov looked at each other and then said:

“It is an honor to be welcomed by everyone.

To be honest, I left the Navy much earlier than Xia, but I haven't been able to achieve much, and I'm far behind you all."

"Don't say that, Dragon."

Barrett on the screen spoke.

“Whether in terms of ability, ideals, or beliefs, you are far beyond the average person, and it is this terrible government that restricts you.

Your choice to join the new government is a powerful alliance. Let us work together for a great cause!"

There was no flattery in Barrett's words. After all, Long was an old acquaintance of his. When he was in the navy, Barrett was always there every time Xia and Long met.

Over time, he naturally learned about Long's character from Xia, and Barrett agreed with Long's joining.

Barrett's words set the tone for everyone else. When Barrett, the second-in-command of the new government, and Xia, the number one, agree, no one else has the ability to object.

"I agree."

"I agree, you're welcome to join me, Long."

Several other senior executives expressed their attitudes.

Upon seeing this, Xia immediately announced.

“Since everyone agrees, I hereby formally announce that the SLDF will join the new government.

All the numbers of the Self-Defense Forces were cancelled and reorganized into the Tenth Army of the New Army!

The commander of the army is Monkey D. Long and the deputy commander is Ambrio Ivankov!

The membership will remain unchanged for the time being, and will initially consist of the original 15,000 people. Then, based on future training and assessments, everyone's position will be redefined, and finally they will be assigned to places that suit them.

In addition, Monkey D. Long and Ambrio Ivankov will be added to the ranks of members of the Government Council and can express their opinions on all matters of national government, military affairs, etc.

Long nodded, indicating his agreement with this opinion.

The abilities and qualities of the soldiers in the Yongjun Army were originally uneven. The soldiers who were trained by him personally were still okay, but in order to expand, the abilities of the later groups of people who joined were relatively average.

Originally Long had planned to slowly resolve this issue during development, but since he has joined the new government, it would be a good idea for someone else to take charge of this issue.

Ivankov didn't expect that Xia attached so much importance to them, almost to the point of being very sincere to them. He immediately placed him and Long in high positions, seemingly not caring about their former status as outsiders.

No wonder Long trusts this person so much. From this perspective alone, Xia has a unique personal charm.

Ivankov said:

"Now that I have joined the new government, what is our next goal? This will also allow Long and I to be mentally prepared."

Xia nodded and said:

"No problem. This is something that you and Long should know. The guards behind you should leave first. What we are going to discuss next are all confidential matters."

After the guards left, Xia said:

“Everyone should know that not long ago, our capital Shangri-La was attacked by the enemy.

If I hadn't happened to be staying on Shangri-La Island for some work reasons, and if Dr. Vegapunk hadn't developed a secret weapon not long ago, I'm afraid the enemy would have succeeded.

Their target is Dr. Vegapunk!"

Vegapunk, who was attending the meeting, stuck out his tongue and shook his head helplessly:

“I never thought that I would have such a day…”

“There is nothing we can do about it. It is precisely because of Dr. Vegapunk’s genius that the World Government is facing a formidable enemy, forcing them to resort to assassination. In the end, it failed, and only the Celestial Dragon Ferlando Gringo, who led the assassination team, survived.

Of the 362-man expert group, 174 were killed, 185 were injured, 3 were missing, and all the wounded were captured.

Ah Hua is trying to interrogate useful information from them.

The enemy's abnormal actions prove that they are beginning to feel threatened and dangerous from us, which is actually a good sign.

This means that our power is beginning to grow stronger, and we have reached a point where we have no choice but to take action, which will lead to drastic actions from the World Government!"

Xia didn't want the senior officials attending the meeting to lose confidence. After all, being beaten in the capital was an ironclad fact, and he had to cheer everyone up.

Seeing that everyone had listened to what he said, Xia started the real main course:

“Let’s get back to the topic. I wonder if you have ever heard of the legend of ancient weapons?

Pluto, the god of the underworld, Poseidon, the god of the sea, Uranus... It is said that each of these ancient weapons has the power to destroy the world!"

The senior executives looked at each other, and Lily said:

"Xia, do you mean...?"

"That's right! In the next phase, the new government's policy will revolve around ancient weapons!"
