Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Surprising Decision
As the minutes ticked by, Thor's cigarette lit one cigarette after another.
Truth be told, he's nervous.
He was afraid that this man he had been waiting for years would disappoint him.
Doesn't it say that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment?
What he fancied about Chloe was by no means his unruly strength.
In the East China Sea, there are pirates who have been rewarded with more than 10 million yuan, can they be called sea pirates?
It can be said that Thor's hair is worth more than him.
But this guy's mind is really powerful, at least that's what the rumors are.
In fact, it can be seen from his strategy to let Chenlu get close to Minano, how can a guy who has been laying out for more than two years have no brains?
However, that alone is not enough, it is not the capital that he can survive and get on the ship.
The time was not two hours, and it was still a little short, and the gentleman man, who was accustomed to pushing his glasses upwards with his wrist, no, or palm, smiled and said, "Captain Thor, can you start?" ”
"You can start at any time, don't worry about me, talk freely" Thor raised his hand and motioned for him to begin.
Chloe nodded, "If the information is true, it will be easier than the original plan." The king of Kurokas was lascivious, which was his fatal weakness. According to the information, the combat power that the gang got was a man, who was rejected in public because he pursued the princess in his early years, and he became a member of the gang in shame. My plan, then, is very simple, find a beautiful woman, first create an opportunity for her to meet the gangster, pretend to make the two fall in love at first sight, and then introduce the king, if nothing else, the king will be very happy, and will do whatever it takes to bring her back to the palace. Then, after letting the beautiful woman sneak out and call the gangster, crying bitterly how he fell in love with him but couldn't be together because of the king...... After two or three times like this, I'm afraid that as long as it's a man, it will explode. When the time comes, we only need to start with the relationship between the gang boss and the gang master. If the gang boss sees that it is a conspiracy, we will sow discord between the two of them, make them turn against each other, and let the gang master kill his boss first and then go to the king to the death. If the gang boss follows the will of the gang master, then it will be easy to do. Anyway, the more he loves that beauty, the harder the two sides will fight, and no matter what the ending is, we will go and finish it for them. It's just that this plan is going to make that beauty suffer, after all, you have to maneuver between two dangerous people, and if you don't pay attention to one, you will be burned. ”
Thor listened silently the whole time, then he lifted a bowl of wine, drank it all, and turned to leave.
Chloe looked at the remaining bowl of wine and let out a laugh, then he lifted the bowl and drank it down.
He knew that his life had been saved.
Not only did he save it, but he also climbed a big tree because of it.
In the past few years, he has been tormented, who would have thought that a small Donghai would inexplicably kill a straw hat boy and make his three-year plan go to waste, so he almost died.
Fortunately, he surprisingly survived again.
In the past two years, he has paid a lot of attention to the news reports, and when he saw that guy break into great fame step by step, combined with the indifferent attitude of the big men above to those rampant pirates, he was desperate and had no hope of revenge.
Even he felt that he and the straw hat boy would never cross paths again in their lives, let alone meet again.
Unexpectedly, his plan was ruined again.
Then, a blessing in disguise, he had the opportunity to get on this ship!
Thor didn't speak, but he acquiesced.
If he doesn't approve of his plan, then he'll just go away and won't drink that bowl of wine.
And those two bowls of wine became his send-off wine.
Life always has its ups and downs.
Early the next morning, Saul called all the high-level conference rooms to meet.
For this kind of large-scale formal meeting, in fact, in addition to Rin, people like Yukui and Minano are all attending for the first time.
And because of Mino's relationship, Morning Dew was also able to participate.
The conference room was huge, and I was surprised to see the morning dew in that huge fish tank for the first time.
The little sea monster inside has grown up a lot, and it seems to have lived up to Yu Kui's hard work.
This is the point that Kui is most proud of.
Lin had already prepared the tea, had a cup in hand, and then sat down quietly, waiting for Thor to start.
Thor took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and began, "Good morning, everyone. This morning's meeting is convened for three main purposes. First, welcome new partners to join. The second, the appointment of captains of various departments. The third, and most important, is what we plan to do next. So, please listen carefully. ”
Thor glanced at everyone and found that even Minono rarely deserted, and hurriedly seized the opportunity to say, "A few days ago, we added two new partners, but for various reasons, we have not officially notified you...... Well, for all sorts of reasons. First of all, let me give you a brief introduction. The first place, the morning dew, the second place, is wild! Everyone is welcome. ”
After Saul finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and Lin and Yukui also applauded.
Morning Dew was very excited and clapped her hands wildly.
Minno just nodded indifferently.
Thor raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said, "At the same time, I have a message for you, Chloe, who was captured by Minano yesterday, I decided to leave him on the ship, because that guy used to be a member of the hostile forces. Therefore, once again, I would like to seek your opinions. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people present began to speak one after another.
"I ...... No comments. ”
The cautious Chenlu was the first to speak, she had no opinion, and Minno definitely had no opinion.
And the two of them can be said to be the least objectionable among those present so far, after all, they have only been on the ship for a few days.
"I'm okay with that."
Lynn also took a stand.
"What do you think I'm doing? The captain's decision must have been a deliberate one, and as someone who knew him best, I was the first to approve of it. ”
You Kui crossed Erlang's legs, and then Lin kicked him and glared at him, he immediately smiled and sat down properly.
Thor nodded and said, "At the same time, there are eight departments on the ship, each of which has a minister, which can also be said to be the captain. Previously, Lin had been appointed as the head of the guard, and the assassination department was led by Kui. Now, I officially appoint Minano as the commander of the combat unit! After that, you can choose your own team members on the ship, with a limit of 100 people. If there are not enough on board, you can recruit them yourself. ”
"Yay!!"
Morning Dew clapped happily.
Mino's expression did not fluctuate, and he didn't say a word.
Thor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and did not refuse, that was to acquiesce, according to the previous agreement, as long as they were responsible for Chenlu's condition, he would contribute to himself.
Thor took a deep breath, and the next step was the main event.
"There is one more thing, which is no less important than our next plan, please be sure to take a serious statement."
Everyone's eyes turned to Thor, and even Yukui put away his hippie smile.
"I have decided to appoint Chloe as the deputy captain of this ship."
In a word, the audience was silent.
Not to mention Lin and the others, even Minno looked at Thor with a shocked expression.
"Captain, are you sure?? Of course, I'm not coveting that position. Rather, I think that the position of deputy captain is too important, and you are too hasty to let a guy who has just been captured take it?? ”
Yukui's face was incredulous.
In his heart, the deputy captain asked Lin to be the one, and he had no opinion. Even if he let Minno come, he could reluctantly accept it. Unexpectedly, Thor actually asked Chloe to come......
"Thor, is this the result of your deliberations? You should know the importance of the co-captain. The conditions for being able to serve as a co-captain may be even more demanding than that of a captain. ”
Lin looked at Thor and said with a serious expression.
"That guy can't do it."
A rare sentence from Minano.
This sentence made Thor and Yukui involuntarily glance at each other, their faces embarrassed.
"Worse than the two of you."
Minano added.
Thor and the others almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, not so shocking......
Thor, though, knew what he meant. Truth be told, if single
In terms of strength, Lynn can beat Chloe completely. However, the reason why Thor has a crush on him is not because of his strength.
"Your concerns are well founded."
Solxian agreed with the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this decision was indeed made after careful consideration. To be honest, I thought about it all night because of this decision. The reason why this decision was made is because Chloe is a person with great ability. Of course, I don't mean combat ability, but mental stratagem. Ladies and gentlemen, this world is indeed dominated by the strong. But let's not forget that many times what can determine the outcome of a battle is a strategic plan. ”
"You're all familiar with the Navy, if I'm not mistaken. The former admiral Sengoku was called a wise general because he was good at planning and made great contributions to the navy. Not only the Warring States, but there is also a figure in the navy who holds the position of second marshal and can directly command three admirals: the chief staff officer of the navy! ”
Thor took a sip of water and continued, "For Lieutenant General Tsuru, the old woman who is feared by many people, what is really terrifying is not her own combat power, but her strategy. The war on the top was earth-shattering, and Whitebeard and the three generals were in the limelight. But they're also only part of the battle. It was Tsuru and Sengoku who had completed the formation of their troops before the battle began. It can be said that the game on the battlefield was Whitebeard's defeat to Tsuru and Sengoku. ”
"Speaking of the fact that the mechanics of the navy are different from ours, then, there is another big man that you must listen to too, red-haired Shanks!"
As soon as these words came out, Minno actually raised his head and glanced at Thor.
"The reason why Shanks, one of the Four Emperors who reigns over the world, was able to become the Four Emperors is naturally inseparable from his pirate group. And among his small number of pirates, if you want to say who has contributed the most to him becoming the Four Emperors, there is no doubt that it is his deputy captain Ben. Beckman! The person with the terrifying mind can make people feel more desperate than the red hair. ”
Finally, Thor stood up, propped his hands on the table, and said seriously, "Everyone, people change. Both strength and heart. Please also give him a chance. ”
Yu Kui picked up the tea and took a sip, then said, "Since you have said so, then I have no objection." But please don't forget the privilege you gave me when I got on board. If I find out that guy is acting against the ship, I'll kill him. ”
Lynn looked at Thor and smiled softly.
"I believe in you."
These two "elders" no longer objected, and Minno and Chenlu had no words.
When one of the pirates released Chloe and brought him to the conference room, he was stunned for a moment. Thor was taken aback when he announced that he would be the vice-captain of the Hyakki Pirates from today onwards.
However, the crowd did not give him much time, and after he sat down, the meeting began again.
In the following meetings, Saul rarely spoke, giving Chloe all the opportunities.
When he restated the plan, even the way Yukui looked at him changed.
"It turns out that the night rose was left for this, captain, sure enough, the city is bottomless."
The sound of a thief slapped by a quiver's ass.
Lin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the woman had been eating white rice on the boat for half a month, although she had been staring at Thor's every move. But the thought of the woman's hateful face made her angry.
Now that I think about it, that woman is still quite miserable......
"If you can rest assured, Captain, you can hand over that woman to me, and I promise to make her a qualified pawn before planning an action."
Chloe pushed her glasses with a confident expression.
"You have about 25 days left, and when you get to Kurokas, we'll move quickly."
Thor laughed.
"No problem."
Chloe nodded.
"Then, adjourn."
…………………………
Chloe needs time to prove himself, and he needs a chance. Thor had decided to leave all plans to capture Kurokas to his sole responsibility.
Of course, I don't want to be a shopkeeper, but only by staying out of the situation can I see the situation clearly.
If you don't guess wrong, compared to the previous petty fights, Kurokas is the real battlefield.
Now there are more guns on board, which is equivalent to an extra layer of protection beyond the plan.
And the battle with Minono also sounded the alarm for Thor.
He's still weak, and his opponents have never been newcomers.
His personality and thoughts determine that he can never be as unrestrained as the Straw Hat Boy.
The worlds of the two of them are different, both in their surroundings and in their companions.
That little imp who was favored by Lady Luck was really, really, so lucky......
……。 …………
Great Voyage, Some Mysterious Island!
There was a roar in the woods, trees fell, and the air flow was chaotic.
Luffy, the straw hat who picked up his life in the war on top, has been taken away from his daughter's country by Reilly, who Thor really wants to meet.
In the Chambord Islands, fate brought the two together.
When he saw the straw hat, Reilly knew that someone who would inherit Roger's will had appeared.
Therefore, Reilly, who had been in seclusion for decades, did not hesitate to reveal his identity for that little ghost, and after saving him once in the Chambord Islands, he took him back to Marin Vando to send a signal to his partner.
After that, he was brought to this place.
The person who inherits Roger's will can't be so weak.
That's the only reason for Reilly.
Easily dodge Luffy's fast and dense attacks like bullets, and then punched Luffy in the stomach, directly making him roll on his knees and on the ground.
Although his sense of battle is not bad, because he ate rubber fruits in his early years, he has a strong ability to resist physical attacks, so he has accumulated day and night, so he has developed the habit of resisting the opponent's physical attacks.
It may have been okay before, after all, few of those guys with poor strength will be domineering, and it will be difficult to cause him major damage. But not in the future......
"Luffy, your strength, let alone that guy, even Jinping is far inferior."
Luffy, who was sweating profusely in pain, gritted his teeth and raised his head, looking puzzled, "That guy?" Who is it? ”
"Oh? Didn't Jinping tell you? The one who saved you at the end of the war on top. ”
Reilly laughed.
"The red-haired monster? Call............ ...... Sauron? No, isn't it...... Thorpe? That guy is better than Jinping? ”
Luffy only has red hair left for that guy in his impression.
Reilly looked helpless, this memory ability is really the same as Roger's.
"It's called Thor, stupid."
"Oh, it's Thor, it's not Thorpe."
Luffy sat cross-legged on the ground, arms crossed, thoughtful.
"It is imperative that you learn to be domineering quickly, otherwise you will not be able to protect your companions in the future. After all, Thor, who is about your age, has mastered the tricolor domineering a long time ago. ”
"Three-color domineering? What tricolor domineering? Is that kind of mysterious thing that can scare people out called tricolor domineering? ”
Luffy said suspiciously, he vaguely remembered that Reilly had shown things that could scare all beasts before, and he had inadvertently erupted.
"Tricolor domineering is not one, but three different means. In the second half of the Great Voyage, domineering attacks are a means of measuring whether a person is truly strong. For example, Thor you have encountered, as a natural Devil Fruit powerhouse, if he fights you, with your current strength, there is almost no power to fight back. After all, aside from your own strength, you who can't be domineering can't even touch his body, how can you fight? ”
Reilly patiently explained. This kind of patient explanation of the scene really seems to be more than 20 years ago.
"So, I learned to be domineering and can beat him off??"
Luffy said excitedly.
was wiped out by the general twice in a row, which has made him, a stunned young man, deeply aware of the lack of his own ability, and now that he has a direction that can improve his strength, how unhappy is he.
Luffy's words caused Reilly to laugh, "Don't be too ambitious, if you can beat him a few times first, you won't lose." ”
"Okay, let's get down to business, now let's teach you the armed color domineering that can attack those with natural abilities."
