Novel Star Chapter 156
Chapter 156
In the year 1520 of the Era Calendar, in order to deal with the Thunder Beast Pirates and the Twin Emperor Alliance, the World Government officially launched the humanoid weapon Pacifist to the outside world and began to deploy it in various places.
The navy conducts a world conscription, recruits civilian masters on a large scale, and adds one general at the request of the world government.
The navy internally listed candidates, and candidate generals Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin were both on the list. In addition, many experts from the private sector also joined the list, causing great waves for a while.
Since the New World was almost monopolized, the Navy had to leave two generals to defend Wano.
In the first half of the game, strong pirates also emerged one after another. There were more than a dozen pirates with a bounty of more than [-] million, so the navy was in urgent need of increasing its strength.
The pirates' rampage is not only a threat to the world government, but also a provocation to the navy. Even where justice exists, pirates are rampant all the time, and it is urgent to improve their strength.
In order to compete for generals, the Navy specially held one-on-one competitions to improve the level of generals.
A man named Gorland suddenly emerged. With the ability of the ancient animal species Tarbosaurus, he easily broke through the fierce competition and defeated Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin successively to win the fourth general spot.
Even Warring States and others could not expect this sudden strong man.
A person who can become a general must have reached the top of the world in strength. If he is just a private master, it makes no sense that he is not famous.
It's not that others are jealous, it's because the other person's arrogant and arrogant personality is completely unlike a low-key person.
Most of the outside world has an observational attitude towards the addition of new generals to the Navy. The World Government has taken the initiative to increase vigilance against the Thunder Beast Pirates and the Four Emperors. This seems to outsiders to be a matter of course.
But judging from the reactions from various places, this move does not seem to be very popular.
In the Chambord Islands, pacifists have been deployed in all areas, and ordinary pirates cannot break through the siege and penetrate deep.
In Area 13, most of the other buildings here have disappeared. Several eye-catching high-rise buildings stand among them, and the fluttering flags confirm the logo of the Thunder Beast Pirates.
Xia Qi's Bamboo BAR is still in operation, but unlike in the past, this place has become the private property of the Thunder Beast Chamber of Commerce, and only accepts internal members and allies.
The tall figure stepped forward, and his cool temperament was very eye-catching.
The thigh with the spider printed on it came into view, and Xia Qi raised her head with interest.
"Oh~ Isn't this the little peach rabbit who failed in the competition? Why would you want to come to me?"
"Where are the Quinns?" Taotu looked around and couldn't help but asked curiously when he didn't find any familiar figures.
"I said I couldn't come because of something unexpected." Xia Qi responded lightly.
Taotu didn't say much after hearing this. He threw the saber behind the counter and sat down.
"Why, are you angry that you were robbed of your general position?" Xia Qi handed over a glass of wine with a smile on her lips, and was very enthusiastic about the woman in front of her.
Occasionally she would admire Quinn's ability, he could even handle this kind of woman.
"This time a powerful opponent suddenly appeared. I'm afraid the general matter will have to be postponed for a long time." Taotu took a sip of wine and could see that his emotions were ups and downs.
"Do you have any information about him?"
"The navy actually asked me about the navy's information." Xia Qi joked, and then said: "I only know that he is a strong man who suddenly appeared. There was no news before this."
"Don't you even know?"
Taotu was very unwilling to fail in the competition for the position of general. Naturally, he wanted to get to know his opponent and strive for opportunities in the future.
"How do you feel about playing against him?" Xia Qi asked casually.
"No worse than the three generals." Taotu said seriously.
Xia Qi thought for a moment, then nodded as if she had some understanding, "I think it was the World Government that took action."
"World government?" Peach Rabbit frowned.
"The recent movements of your navy have become increasingly ambiguous. It will be unjustifiable if they do not intervene." Xia Qi explained.
That Gorland was so powerful, but had not shown any clues before, must be related to her guess.
If the world government hadn't secretly sent strong men to intervene, there would probably be no other explanation.
"It seems that your relationship with Quinn can no longer be hidden. It's better to think of a way out as soon as possible."
Taotu didn't appreciate Xia Qi's worries. She just said calmly: "I'm just acting for my inner ideals. It has nothing to do with him."
Xia Qi shook her head in amusement and said nothing.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Momotu prefers the Thunder Beast Pirates, and I am afraid that even without the Gorland Warring States, she would not be allowed to become a general.
"Speaking of which, the world government has deployed troops on a large scale, which is obviously suppressing the navy's momentum."
"But I have to say that that pacifist is indeed a powerful thing."
There was some emotion in Xia Qi's tone. Before this, she had never dared to imagine that a man-made thing could actually exert such power.
The emergence of pacifists not only curbed the pirates' plundering, but also drove back many big pirates who had ambitions to invade various countries.
Even ordinary people who have mastered the ability of armed weapons can hardly say that they can easily resist the attack of that thing. If tens of thousands of humanoid weapons are deployed at the same time, I am afraid it will be worse than Pluto.
"It seems that the Navy still has a long way to go if it wants to break away from the World Government. It seems that there are not many people who share the same ideas with you."
Taotu put down his wine glass and said with a dazed expression: "All this needs a big event to change."
"I think so too."
"Master Xia Qi!" A male voice came from outside the door, and a well-dressed man walked in. He was briefly surprised when he saw Taotu and then immediately returned to normal.
"What's going on?" As the manager of the Chamber of Commerce entrusted by Quinn, Xia Qi is often at the bar, but she is the top talker here.
"It's about the auction," the man replied.
"Auction? Do you mean those noble auction houses?" Xia Qi frowned, and her tone became much colder.
The nobles wanted to take back the dominance of the Shampoo Land auction with the help of the world government's strong power, so they had many conflicts with the Thunder Beast Chamber of Commerce.
"The underground slave trade has become more and more frequent in recent months, and many residents of Fish-Man Island have appeared. I'm afraid someone did it deliberately." The man said with a solemn expression.
Xia Qi took a deep breath and then asked: "Are there any pirates secretly causing trouble?"
It wasn't that she was doubting the two emperors. After all, these two people were already tied to Quinn and wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
"There are hints of the Don Quixote family."
"What a bunch of haunting guys." Although Xia Qi is old, her mind is very flexible. After the Don Quixote family focused on the first half, she may have dealt with Flamenco several times.
Whether he relied on the reputation of the Thunder Beast Pirates or his own abilities, Brother Ming suffered several defeats at her hands.
"Do I need to inform Santa Bobola?" the man asked.
"No need, we can solve it." A certain undisciplined old man came to mind, and Xia Qi couldn't find anyone more suitable for this job than Lei Li.
