Chapter Ninety-Three

William couldn't help but be surprised by the word "admiral", and asked strangely, "Why did he submit his resignation?"

Ah Jin tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneer: "He has a pirate enemy, in order to take revenge, he killed his wife and children, a general, he can't even protect his own family, maybe he is disheartened." ”

William was silent, and after a while, Ah Jin continued: "After Zefa handed in his resignation, he was retained by the top management to serve as an instructor in the navy, he has taught many famous navy, although Roy is not in the stream under him, and he has not studied for a long time, but he may know a few classmates who hold important positions. ”

Hearing this, William frowned and fell into deep thought.

……

After resting in Momiji Village, William led his pirates to do a few more "business", and according to the information provided by Sherlock on the rivals, he looted a few ships and ran in with the crew.

After that, he left for Kalmar City to meet Alcatio and Roy.

In the Chancellor's Palace, in the blink of an eye, things have changed, Alcatio's meeting place has not changed, the only thing that has changed is the people, Barbarossa has once again come to this reception room, the difference is that this time his head is in a box, brought by William.

Alcatio opened the lid of the wooden box through a small crack, glanced inside, closed it with disgust, pushed it open, and then took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands as if it were a contagious disease.

Colonel Roy, who was sitting next to him, was not as hypocritical as Alcatio, and after taking the box in front of him and opening it, he directly took Barbarossa's head out of the box.

After many days of turbulence, although some embalming has been done, Barbarossa's head still has a foul smell, and through the already somewhat deformed facial features, he can only barely recognize his appearance.

Roy looked at Barbarossa's face with interest as if he couldn't smell the stench of decay, as if studying his expression before he died.

"You killed Barbarossa?" Roy asked softly as he stared at Barbarossa's head, not at William.

"No," William shook his head, which made Arcatio frown, but then William's words made his eyebrows furrow again, "It was the officers and men of the Sixteenth Division of the Navy who killed him. ”

Roy chuckled lowly, and his gaze finally fell on William: "You are a smart man, unlike the idiot in my hands. ”

Roy casually threw Barbarossa's head back into the wooden box, and didn't think his hands were dirty, he directly lit a cigar and put it in his mouth, looked at William through the smoke and said, "Look at the current situation, the Redbeard Pirates are now in your hands?"

"Of course. William smiled.

Hearing this, Alcatio looked at Chloe, who was sitting next to William, and Chloe nodded covertly.

"So you're here specifically to maintain our previous alliance with Barbarossa?" Alcatio asked after receiving confirmation from his "own people" before believing William's statement that he was in control of the entire group.

William deliberately lowered his head and let out a bitter laugh: "When I got rid of Barbarossa, it was actually a trick, now Barbarossa, Reis and Hyreddin are all dead, the strength of the pirates has been greatly reduced, just with the strength of the whole group now, it is difficult to maintain the original status and momentum, but although the current strength of the pirates is much weaker than before, there is one thing that is stronger than before, that is, I, the new captain, can look down on the form, Barbarossa will make his own decisions, often trample on the alliance, and cause chaos for the allies, but I will not." ”

William raised his head again and looked at the two who were looking at him: "You two know the roots of my pirate group, and I will not be as reckless as Barbarossa, with me as an ally, you can rest assured." ”

Alcatio and Colonel Roy glanced at each other, and only after half a sound did Alcatio stir the coffee and ask slowly, "What kind of cargo did you bring with you on the ship this time?"

"Wine, lots of wine, I know you need that. William smiled.

Alcatio almost monopolized the underground smuggling market of alcohol in the Kingdom of Navia, and was in need of many alcoholic drinks to fill the market demand, and William cut off competitors for the Red Leaf Village Distillery, and happened to grab a lot of wine, which was used to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha.

Alcatio nodded with satisfaction: "I will ask someone from the trading company to pick up the goods, and if you have any supply needs on the ship, you can also tell them." ”

Roy didn't speak just now, and when he saw that Alcatio had actually agreed to the maintenance of the alliance, he asked William as if unintentionally, "I heard that you went to the vicinity of the windless zone?"

At the time of the Tekirawolf attack, Roy had investigated the Redbeard Pirates and knew where they were.

William was holding the coffee and was stunned, but he quickly recovered, and sorted out his thoughts by bowing his head and drinking coffee, and then said, "Barbarossa wants to try his luck in the windless belt and see if he can find the Devil Fruit......." ”

"Did you find it?" interrupted Colonel Roy, who focused only on the question.

"Found it," William looked delighted, showing just the right hint of irrepressible pride, "but he didn't take it!"

Alcatio glanced William up and down, frowned and asked, "You ate it?"

Seeing William nodding generously, Alcatio said with some dissatisfaction: "If you hand it over to my auction house to be in charge of the auction, I can coax it to 400 million Bailey or even more." ”

"I can't trust my crew, it's so long to get back to sea, it's too unsafe. William grinned.

Alcatio didn't say anything more, but Roy leaned forward, leaned over to William, and asked with interest, "You're really lucky, I'm curious, what is your fruit ability?"

"Superman," William grabbed the cup containing the coffee with some ostentatious gestures, and gestured to the two of them, only to see the coffee in the cup quickly boiling, "My body can release heat." ”

Roy kept staring at William's expression, and after hearing him say the words "superhuman", his eyes fell on the boiling coffee in his hand, and he said insincerely: "Good ability, great potential." ”

William stayed in the reception room for a while before getting up to leave, but Chloe did not go with him, and stayed behind at Alcatio's motion.

Arcatio asked Chloe, "Does this kid really control the entire pirate group?"

"Barbarossa, as well as the deputy captain whom Barbarossa promoted later, let him kill, and now he is indeed in charge of the ship. Chloe replied.

Roy, who was on the side, looked thoughtfully at the still steaming coffee, and asked without raising his head, "Is he really eating a superhuman devil fruit?"

Chloe was stunned: "I don't know, he hasn't shown his abilities in front of the crew, and I've only heard him mention it for the first time today." ”

Colonel Roy didn't care that Chloe was actually Alcatio's person in the strict sense of the word, and said directly in a commanding tone: "You give me a closer look on the ship to see if he is really superhuman, and his ability is only 'radiating', if you find out that he is the ability of natural fruits, you must tell me as soon as possible!"
