Chapter 243 Preparations before poaching
"Whitebeard II joins the Shichibukai!"
Zhiyuan's pupils shrank and he shouted in surprise.
After Lowen reduced the Shichibukai to only Tyrant Bear and Hawkeye, she anticipated that the Shichibukai would be replenished.
And Whitebeard II, who has always been famous on the sea, was a popular candidate she thought of.
But she was still shocked when she actually saw Weevil joining the Shichibukai.
"This guy cut off one of Admiral Zephyr's arms and killed hundreds of elite students of the navy, but he was actually allowed to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea!?"
"Marshal Zhan Guo did something stupid this time."
Gion commented sharply without any hesitation.
The fact that such a vicious pirate joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea dealt a huge blow to the navy's reputation.
A big pirate who killed hundreds of elite navy students could actually become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. What would the navy generals think?
The students in Zefa's elite training camp are all potential students for becoming at least colonel officers.
It can be said that Weibel's sneak attack wiped out hundreds of naval officers, equivalent to at least three G5 branches.
It is the Navy's mortal enemy.
Moreover, one of General Zefa’s arms was cut off. What would General Zefa think? What would his former disciples think?
The three admirals Kizaru, Akainu, and Aokiji, and elite vice admirals such as Hibachi, Spider Demon, and Flying Squirrel, the absolute backbone of the navy, were all students of Zephyr and received his unremitting teaching.
Even she, who had received training from Zefa, could call him teacher.
"How could they let such a scum join the navy? Marshal Zhan Guo is really out of his mind!"
Gion said indignantly.
Even though she had left the navy, she couldn't help but feel indignant when she saw the news.
She felt sorry for her former comrades and Admiral Zephyr, and for the soldiers who fought bloody battles with the pirates.
Is it true that Whitebeard II is worth exchanging the dignity of the entire navy for his power?
Which one of Zephyr's three general students can't beat a tiny Whitebeard II?
"I think Zhan Guo was forced to do this. This lousy plan is most likely the work of those five old men."
Lowen pointed to another prominent headline in the newspaper and smiled.
[The God of Scientific Defense, Zeigolucia Satan Saint, gave instructions: "The Navy has once again welcomed a powerful ally, and we are still thriving!"]
Only these five old men who keep making stupid moves could come up with such a stupid idea.
According to newspaper reports, the Five Elders are still happy about the joining of Whitebeard II.
"I think so too. Even if Marshal Zhan Guo is confused, he won't do such a stupid thing with Sister He by his side!"
Gion agreed with Lowen's opinion.
Although Marshal Sengoku likes to eat senbei and always plays around with old man Garp, he is still quite reliable when it comes to serious matters.
"It's all those five old men's fault. They are to blame for what happened to me!"
Gion said through gritted teeth.
She did not forget that she still had a huge bounty of 3 billion Beli on her body, which was also given by the Five Elder Stars.
Although it was a trap set by Lowen, it was still too outrageous to treat a candidate admiral of the navy in this way.
Only the Five Elders, who do not regard the navy as human beings, would come up with the bad idea of letting Whitebeard II join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Don't be angry." Luo Wen gently stroked Zhiyuan's back and said comfortingly: "This is a good thing for us. The World Government does not value your former colleagues, and our neo navy is eager for talents. If we pull those naval generals over, won't everyone be happy?"
"Yes, bring Zephyr over here, bring Burning Mountain, Flying Squirrel and the others over here!" Gion sneered, "I want to see if it's worth losing all these just to win over Whitebeard II!"
"Well, let's get ready and let the bullets fly for a while."
Lowen said with a smile.
The news that Whitebeard II has joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea has just been announced. We still have to wait and see how the situation develops before stepping in to clean up the mess.
"Well, I'll go back and prepare now!"
Zhiyuan nodded in agreement and prepared to get to work.
"I will also think of some plans here. You just need to handle the official business of the neo navy. Don't be too tired."
Luo Wen said with concern.
He knew how busy Gion was, and adding another job to the pile would make it even more unbearable.
Even though he has become a heroic spirit now and can use magic power to consume physical strength, mental fatigue is no joke.
"Don't stay here. Let Hina hold on for a while. I believe in her potential."
Gion waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
There was a message written in her eyes: Suffer any longer and I will bear the blame!
And Luo Wen also saw it, and could only advise: "Don't let Hina get too tired."
He didn't know how effective this advice would be, so he could only mourn for Hinata silently.
Since their relationship is not close enough, Hina naturally did not transform into a heroic spirit. As a mortal, she will probably have to experience the torture of 007 for a while.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine."
Zhiyuan nodded in agreement and returned to the neo navy's office full of fighting spirit.
Hina is her best friend, she wouldn't be too rude, at most she would just be exhausted.
He quickly pushed the usual official duties to Hina, and buried his head in thinking about how to attract Admiral Zefa and several elite lieutenant generals over.
"Gion-sister, I can't do this!"
Hinata said with a bitter face as she looked at the documents on the table that were taller than a person.
Her workload was already heavy to begin with, and with the even heavier workload at Gion added on, it was exhausting enough to kill her.
Zhiyuan first told him about his plan to poach talents, and then said earnestly: "When General Zefa and his men come, you will have an easy time."
"..."
Hina looked at Gion with resentment, just like a sweatshop worker looking at a black-hearted boss.
Can this pie be made more round?
Didn't you say before that she would feel relieved once the situation in Dressrosa stabilized?
But now, I’m busier every day, and there’s no relaxation at all!
"You have to finish the road you have chosen, even if it means crying!"
Hinata secretly encouraged herself and buried her head in the pile of documents.
I just hope that Mr. Zefa and those elite lieutenant generals will really be recruited here.
Not to mention all of them, even if only one came, it would be worthy of her hard work.
