Pirate: I only come here for three things!

In the dilapidated cave, everyone present sat around the fire coals to keep warm. It was still raining outside, and considering various issues such as waterproofing and carbon dioxide poisoning, the fire was not placed in the innermost part.

"Miss?"

Fujino waved his hand in front of the "prisoner" he had just captured. It finally aroused her soul.

"Please let me go. I will discuss it with everyone and ask them to let your companion go... If you are worried, you can treat me as a hostage..."

The girl who was still thinking just now finally spoke to the men in front of her.

"We finally saved you, but you don't know what's good and you're going to die again?" Ren Sanlang was furious after hearing this. Is this what people say?

"They prepared a human sacrifice, and they sacrificed you alive!"

In fact, only the Onmyoji named Huli Dasen knew about the preparation of selling girls from beginning to end. Except for him, including the girl herself, they were all deceived and determined to participate in the sacrificial activities.

"...Some things are more terrifying than death. If my death can really appease God's wrath..."

"Take back what you just said."

Fujino interrupted the girl and continued.

"What you just said is blasphemy against us doctors. It is a ritual that despises the achievements of great men, and it is an insult to the heroes who fight for the happiness of mankind!"

Fujino looked at his fellow travelers around him. "Please, please stay with me in this hellish place for a while longer."

…………

To be honest, Duanmu had no feelings for this whimsical and daring group of people.

It's just that Kennedy is unwilling to share the political fruits, and he has made many mistakes now. The only optimal solution during this period is to establish local connections and improve his own strength.

As the country of Wano is so closed, there are not many safe places to take action. After returning to the World Government, he plans to continue to use his previous personality. Never act blindly. This is also the reason why Duanmu chose to give the credit for killing the wild boar to Ren Sanlang. This reputation is a burden to him.

As for establishing local connections... Considering the rigid political system of Wano Country, a person's status is often determined by bloodline rank and political needs. As a strong contender for the next generation head of the Shigetsuki family, the only son of the Suzugo daimyo, Frost Moon Monkey Horse is basically the best quality bunch.

Moreover, from the perspective of a tool man, Duanmu still admires the Frost Moon Monkey Horse.

He is a monk, good at arithmetic, highly capable, and not bad at brains. Apart from not being able to fight, they have a lot in common with me. But soon, Duanmu discovered that this man did not refuse his advances, and at the same time, he pulled himself into this strange group.

Very good, Frost Moon Monkey Horse. You managed to pique my interest. Show me your methods.

During this time of getting along day and night, Duanmu has been secretly paying attention to Frost Moon Monkey Horse. But he actually didn't move at all along the way. He even used his hand once because of itchiness, and he eliminated a group of bandits during the process.

But he took no action at all on the way.

It shouldn't be, it's not in line with your rank.

However, now that Frost Moon Monkey Horse suddenly fell behind and was caught, Duanmu immediately felt a sense of enlightenment. This guy is finally going to make his move! Chicken! You've exposed your flaws!

By the way, after I found him and discovered his plan, should I laugh at him on the spot, or should I secretly remember it and use it as a handle in the future?

The ridicule on the spot was somewhat in vain and was not in my best interest. Otherwise, I would just remember it and put on a look that I understand. He frantically wanted to shut up and not tell anyone, and then he took the opportunity to make a lot of conditions, and then...

He was still thinking about what unequal treaty he should ask Frost Moon Monkey Horse to sign, and then he heard Fujino's words.

"Okay, but I have to ambush him early to ensure the safety of the Frost Moon Monkey Horse." Duanmu picked up his knife. "Since the boss who hired me is now in danger, I will stop pretending and show my cards."

"I am actually a samurai employed by him, and my boss is actually a big boss."

Adhering to the principle of being evil until death, Duanmu fabricated a new identity for his future good brother.

"From a brothel, boss?" Ren Sanlang's brain circuit has always been a little off-topic, and it is the same now.

"Then his purpose of following us this time is not pure..." The Hong Kong friend followed his words.

"No, why do you just think of a brothel when it comes to the big boss? That's not good. Besides, didn't we all see what kind of person Houma is along the way?" Mr. Fujino is still looking for the best. explain

"Well, Duanmu, he's not in the situation they said he is, right?"

When Duanmu heard this, he scratched his head silently and glanced around.

"Don't fail to answer!"

......................................................

"Why are there so many important reports today?"

As usual, after washing and eating, Kennedy went to the temporary office in Wano to prepare for the day's work.

"What happened?" Kennedy asked his daughter. Because there were really not enough manpower here, even though he was a Celestial Dragon, his father pulled him over to handle the affairs.

"It's mostly new news from overseas. If you want to save some trouble, you can wait for me to summarize it for a while."

For a time, a lot of chaos occurred in the entire pirate world, the first of which was the issue of military reform. Although it was Kennedy who proposed this reform, Kennedy had no involvement at all in the implementation stage. It's a normal political exchange, nothing to say. But there are really not many people who have the ability to deal with this mess.

Although Sengoku, as the naval marshal, is now giving the green light, the opinions of the two parties in the entire world government are basically unified. However, with the newly expanded army and insufficient control, a large number of officer cadres were temporarily promoted, but there are still a large number of gaps.

"I want to ask you over there, should you select from the grassroots, recruit from the world, or borrow the manpower provided by the kings?"

"Hmm." Kennedy touched his chin in thought. "Tell me that I am only the initiator of the plan. The handling of details should be based on the handling of front-line civil servants, and the will of the Tianlong people and the king must be implemented..."

His daughter interrupted him without hesitation. "Anyway, I just want the other side to figure it out. Dad, you don't want to take the blame, right? I'll leave the text to someone else to polish it. Then the next thing." She opened her schedule.

"...A protest march broke out over the Holy Land."

"Oh, what are you protesting about?"

"The world government is too weak at this meeting. In short, it is an attack on you."

Because Kennedy's performance from the beginning of the meeting to the present has not been impressive enough, people feel that the world government is not cooling enough. The limelight has been stolen by Wano Country, how can this be done?

"This is a political negotiation held in the country of Wano to resolve the conflicts in the country of Wano. If all the people in the country of Wano are not in the limelight, how can I still force myself to do so? I am a politician, not a political animal. I am about to win the victory. Why am I pursuing the limelight now when the fruit is coming?”

"If it occurs naturally, don't worry about it. If there are people behind it, they will definitely put pressure on me recently. Then we will talk about it when the time comes."

The most important issue is the triumphant return of the South China Sea Navy. Although the World Government did not choose to publicize it, due to an unexpected situation, the entire naval force has now undergone huge changes.

The current general of the navy, Zefa's heir in the Holy Land, died in a bizarre car accident. It happened on a rest day. There was a lot of traffic that day. A nobleman from a small country drank too much and drove a dump truck to death.

Let’s not talk about why a nobleman would drink like that in broad daylight. Let’s just say that the fact that he drove a dump truck inexplicably that day and only killed one person all revealed a demonic aura.

Later, before being transferred to Judiciary Island, the nobleman was shot eight times in the back and died in a highly guarded prison.

The latest news shows that this person probably committed suicide.

"..." Kennedy covered his face. Although he had tried his best, facing the surging power in the dark, he was not in the Holy Land and could not save all the relatives of his mentor. That sky-high price bounty order was already the limit of what he could do.

Yes, he could entrust several generals he knew well who were still at the headquarters at that time.

However, he finally separated himself from the army. Although it was indeed more likely to be saved by this choice, it would send a signal to the outside world that he was still unclear about the army, which would do more harm than good.

Suddenly there was a lot of chaos, and all kinds of messy media were fanning the flames, trying to make the chaos bigger.

"Zefa's condition is really not good and he announced his resignation as general."

"And the new general election will begin in these few days."

General election?

Kennedy began to think about whether to send Cyborg Kei back and replace him with a few more players. In addition, his junior sister Amiya's brother died tragically, so he should let them go back directly.

But will there be enough time?

From his standpoint, he also has his own concerns.

"Should I let them go back?" Kennedy tapped his fingers on the table, and the wooden board creaked as he tapped on it. First of all, the value of Cyborg Kei who has become a general is different from that of Cyborg Kei who has not become a general. At the same time, one's relatives have died. Due to emotional and logical reasons, one's junior sisters should go back to attend the funeral of their relatives.

However, the strength on his side is not enough. Although the Giant Kingdom has now sent a large amount of combat power, as a suspicious ally, how they will choose to act at the critical moment is a huge problem. He must ensure that there are enough people in his negotiating team to fight against possible disturbances.

The battle at the entrance to the Wano Inland Sea was just a little bit close to ending with the entire army being wiped out. If they are withdrawn, how can we ensure the safety of our own people in Wano?

"I don't think you need to worry about this issue."

"Why?" Kennedy asked his daughter doubtfully. After Shia Allie's transformation, her way of thinking could indeed discover some points that he had not thought about for a while. And Kennedy's head rolled around and he patted himself on the head.

"...Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Cyborg Kong."

Regardless of whether Kennedy lets him go or not, he can't stop him if he wants to leave. After all, he has someone above him. The same is true for the steel-framed Duanmu. He can suppress Duanmu or not give him a lot of credit. But there are some methods beyond the conventional that cannot be used on them.

It is impossible to offend the military leader by provoking anyone.

"Then it depends on their own wishes. Remind me later and I will take some time to meet them. I can't stop it, but it will only increase the resentment. So why am I still struggling here? By the way, help me contact you. A conversation with the giant."

"Aren't they preparing to join the navy? I think this is the right time to ignore the situation and get some of them into our hands, and then let Friedrich have more time during this period. Work overtime and resolve the issues on the ship as soon as possible."

Friedrich, the commander-in-chief of the army in this operation, is also a young talent. Although his strength may be slightly inferior to Cyborg Kei, his ability in security is very outstanding. But lately his hands have been tied.

I don’t know how many people still have an impression of Crowe who was trying to retrieve Duanmu. In terms of results, because Duanmu was not found, he finally chose the most extreme method.

In other words, the entire Warspite was blown up.

After the bomb was placed, the bomb did not detonate because of Captain John's retreat.

However, he does exist on the ship.

And after it was safe, this guy chose to spread the news in the black market, telling everyone he had noses and eyes.

After learning that the bomb was on the ship, although everyone had already arrived in Wano, for the sake of safety on the voyage back, they chose to conduct a top-to-bottom, inside-out survey of the entire ship. The person mainly responsible for this matter was Friedrich.

"I remember that the Navy and CIPHERPOL still have some personnel scattered across Wano Country? Tell them to come back."

"The results of this meeting are about to come out. At critical moments, I always feel that something big will happen."

Although nothing has been negotiated now, all parties have only fully exchanged views and understood each other's position.

However, it has not been long before things turn around. The consensus on the general direction has already determined that this meeting will eventually achieve some results.

In fact, in the afternoon of that day, the whole Nozomi knew a rumor.

The team starting from Suzuo is preparing to go to Kuri for disaster relief. One of the big men killed a mountain god's son on the way.

Coincidentally, this person has the same surname as Kitsuki Oden's retainer, Kitsune Fire Kinemon.

No one knows who was behind the spread of the news, but there is no doubt that the news led to a stalemate in meetings that finally started to make some progress.
