Chapter 372 The Balance Established by Lex

In the island villa of Fenghuai Qianli——

Lex, Gion, Rhine, and Mihawk sat around the dining table and had dinner together.

Lex said to Rhine:

"Uncle Rhine, Charlotte and Beast have guessed the truth about the death of Big Mom and Kaido, and they want to leave the New World and join the World Government to become Shichibukai. Let them do what they want, don't stop them, and don't worry about it."

Rhine nodded slightly and did not ask why he did this, because he knew that all the decisions made by the young master were unconditionally and without reason and were 100% correct.

"Understood. I will inform Roy and Gutt after we arrive in the new world."

"In addition, the establishment of the New World Apocalypse Army has been a bit hasty recently. We can appropriately reduce the establishment. There is no need to arbitrarily arm a million-strong army. It is meaningless. As long as we can provide enough combat power in wartime, it will be enough. The Apocalypse Army will only retain the establishment of five armies, and only keep the elite, who will be responsible for the operation of the trade chains in various sea areas at ordinary times."

The integration of military and business is a taboo within any major power. The military is an armed force, and if they are given an independent economy, won't they just rebel on the spot?

But Lex is obviously not worried. This is Qinghai where all the power is concentrated. As long as Lex is here, nothing is a problem. Lex's prestige is enough to ignore these problems.

"Understood. I'll tell Roy and Gutt."

After hearing Rhine's answer, Gion asked playfully:

"Uncle Rhine, why are my second brother and Uncle Gut responsible for everything?~"

Rhine replied righteously:

"That's of course because the two of them have the ability. With great ability comes great responsibility. This is because the young master trusts them."

"Hmm~"

Lex also smiled knowingly. Roy and Gut were indeed role models in the world of hard work, the best of the best.

However, it is precisely because Roy and Gut are truly responsible for all matters of the New World that they have greater prestige within the Sea Kingship Alliance. In many matters, apart from Lex, Roy and Gut have the most say, because they are in charge of the most and know the most.

Rhine looked at Mihawk next to him again:

"Then young master, what should we do with this kid? Throw him into the Apocalypse Army?"

"No need, Mihawk."

"exist."

After a conversation at the wooden pavilion on the lake island, Mihawk developed a new feeling of admiration for Lex.

Originally, Mihawk was only intimidated by Rex's fame and power, but now, he has an additional feeling of gratitude and admiration from the bottom of his heart, because Rex is really guiding him with his heart, communicating with him, and giving him fighting spirit. This is a great favor of teaching and preaching, which Mihawk deserves to remember for the rest of his life.

Lex continued:

"You don't have to join the Sea Kingship Alliance, just follow your heart. What you want to be is not up to me. You are the life of Joraqiel Mihawk, so go do what you want. Of course, I suggest you consider becoming one of the Shichibukai under the World Government. This is a position that gives you freedom without being too constrained. If my strength is the same as yours, I will choose to become one of the Shichibukai without hesitation."

Shichibukai, this is the advice Lex gave to Mihawk.

Although it is called a suggestion, in fact, no matter what Lex asks Mihawk to do, Mihawk will probably accept it, not to mention that he is just one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Am I also part of your balance to Qinghai?"

Mihawk asked. Before, he followed Lex and saw that both King Jin and Katakuri chose to become Shichibukai. Now they also want to become Shichibukai. It seems that this is all Lex's plan.

"Well, every era needs a proper balance. The Seven Warlords of the Sea are the fulcrum of the balance between me and Marijoa."

"Okay, I will become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea as you wish."

"Just follow your heart, just like your swordsmanship."

"Ok!"

Rhine looked at Mihawk, who had a determined look on his face, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

This kid Mihawk is really a soft-hearted guy. When I first invited him to join the Sea Kingdom Alliance, he refused to agree. But now, after traveling with the young master in the new world for a day, he immediately became obedient to the young master after coming back, and he couldn't wait to serve him and become his vanguard.

It seems that the young master's ability to deceive people is far better than mine~

Gion, who was eating at the side, didn't care about it at all. She just felt that today's fish feast was a little salty. Who put so much salt? ! ~

Is it going to be salty enough to kill me? ~

Oh, it seems to be me, that's ok~
