Chapter 295: His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas, Xia Nuo
"What is this?"
Seeing the letter in front of him, Xia Nuo was a little puzzled, subconsciously looked at the news bird, and said strangely: "It's for me?" ”
The news bird looked up at the pirate flag hanging above, and then nodded vigorously with certainty.
It's weird......
Xia Nuo frowned and opened the letter, he only bought the newspaper of the day at most on weekdays, he had not subscribed to the rest of the things, and he had never had any correspondence with anyone, how could he suddenly find him with a letter?
As a result, as soon as he took out the letter, he was stunned, only to see that the top of the letter was actually printed with the icon of the world government, and in the position of the title, there was such a line of large characters:
His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas Invitation.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Xiano's expression gradually became serious, and he quickly finished reading the contents of the letter, and then his fingers pinching the edge of the letter lightly tapped the paper, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes.
"Captain, who sent the letter?"
When the crew below saw Xia Nuo's reaction, their curiosity was aroused all of a sudden, and they couldn't help but raise their heads and shout and ask.
"World Government."
For his crew, Xia Nuo did not mean to hide it, and after a concise reply, he jumped lightly from the mast, landed on the deck, handed the letter in his hand to the nearest Daz, and chuckled:
"They want to invite me to fill the vacancy of Doflamingo and serve as the king of the Seven Martial Seas."
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then the next moment, the whole ship was instantly sensational.
"Huh? What the? ”
"An invitation from the World Government?"
"Is the captain going to become the Seven Martial Seas?!"
……
In the midst of a noisy and lively discussion, Daz's expression was quite calm, he calmly read through it, and then passed the letter to Kira next to him, and when the crew members rushed to see the letter, he walked over with some hesitation, and said in a low voice:
"My lord, could this be a conspiracy of the World Government?"
"It's unlikely."
Xia Nuo shook his head slightly, glanced at the people who were in a state of excitement, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If the letter asks me to go to Mary Joya in person to sign the agreement, then it is a trap, but according to the current meaning, I only need to sign and go back to the past, and they can't do anything to me." ”
"Yes."
Daz nodded, and at this time, everyone had almost finished passing the letter, driven by freshness and excitement, everyone's eyes were back focused on Xia Nuo, and Kidd couldn't help but ask:
"Hey! Xiano, what are you going to do in this situation, accept the invitation or decline? ”
The rest of the people are basically thinking this way now, and they are curious. It is the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, which not only means that his status as a sea thief has been recognized by the world's authorities, but also implies countless enviable privileges and benefits.
For example, the entire pirate group will be canceled bounty, no longer have to worry about being hunted down by the navy, and they can also carry out legal looting with tacit consent, even if they are discovered, they only need to hand over a small part, and even after killing the pirates, they can go to the navy in exchange for a bounty......
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, and becoming the king of the Seven Martial Seas means that he is no longer completely free, and must obey the forced collection of the world government when necessary, and will also be regarded as lackeys by some of his fellow pirates, becoming a hidden hostile target.
All in all, everyone understands that this is a very critical choice, which will affect the future development route and destiny of the entire Wind Pirates to some extent, and the only one who is qualified to make this choice is the captain himself, so it is inevitable that curiosity will rise for a while.
"Well...... this"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Xia Nuo couldn't help but smile, spread his hands very easily, and said, "After three minutes of careful consideration, I decided to join." ”
The very simple and simple answer, coupled with this look of some disdain, made everyone settle down, and at the same time, they couldn't help but want to complain, this is obviously discussing whether to join the king's Seven Martial Seas, right? How do you make it feel like choosing juice or beer with a meal?
The captain has a big heart......
Xia Nuo just smiled and retrieved the letter, and did not speak again, his thoughts were naturally not as simple as they seemed on the surface, but in the end, there was indeed nothing worth hesitating about, and now that he joined the Seven Martial Seas, the benefits were undoubtedly much greater than the benefits of refusing the invitation.
The current Storm Pirates are actually quite embarrassed in terms of situation, first, they have not expanded while becoming elitist, resulting in a small number of people, and they have no head-on resistance in the face of large-scale encirclement and suppression by the navy;
Second, because it is time to go to the New World, the Chambord Islands, not far from Marin Fando, are currently a must-pass place, and if it does not become the Seven Martial Seas, it is difficult to guarantee that when the ship is coated, it will not be detected by the navy and the general will be arrested.
And with Xia Nuo's current strength, although he still has a little confidence to resist the generals head-on, what will be the final victory or defeat...... It's almost something you can think of with your toes.
Therefore, choosing to compromise temporarily is not only the intention of the world government, but Xia Nuo also has this intention in his heart, and when he arrives in the new world, the control of the navy over there is greatly weakened, and it is naturally another world, as long as the strength is enough, maintaining the agreement or turning his face is only in Xia Nuo's thoughts.
After reading the requirements of the Covenant again and making sure there were no problems, Xano signed his name on them, then put the letter back in the News Bird's parcel and patted it on the back.
With its wings fluttering, the newsbird flew up again, turning back towards the place it came from, and for a moment, Xano seemed to see the newsbird turn into a black bat, but in an instant it returned to its original state, as if it was just an illusion.
"All we have to do is wait for the world government to make the news public."
Watching the news bird go away, Xia no roughly estimated the time, and when the news of his becoming the new Seven Martial Seas fermented around the world, the Tempest was almost about to arrive in the Chambord Islands, and at that time, the navy naturally couldn't regret it, that is, the Tempest Pirates could reach the New World smoothly without risk.
Thinking of this, his mood became comfortable again, clapped his hands, smiled and motioned to everyone who was still talking, and continued the team building activity just now.
After everyone's interest shifted back to the field, and Kidd and Daz began to fight, Xia no returned to the mast, looked at the horizon in the distance, and exhaled softly.
From today onwards, my identity will change for a while...... And to be honest, this name is actually quite impressive.
His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas, the Wind Sword Hero Xano.
