Chapter 44 Follow-up

In the palace, Nagato sat alone in an inner sanctum.

At this point, half an hour had passed since I met and talked with Violet.

In the end, Cyrus's problem was clearly to reconcile Nagato with Violet, who was willing and almost certain to become King of Dressrosa, and Violet, who was in love with Nagato, and who would be best if he succeeded.

But Nagato politely refused, informing Cyrus that he was unmarried but had no idea for the time being.

In fact, if Violet and Dressrosa were to oppose Nagato's succession as king, it would be possible that Nagato would accept Cyrus's offer to eliminate the resistance between the Rick faction and the Dressrosa by marrying Violet. But since the succession to the throne has been so smooth, this marriage has no political value, so Nagato naturally does not consider it.

It is not that Nagato sees marriage as a tool, and he can achieve his goals without the help of such means, but that does not prevent it from being a consideration. Violet has no advantage in this regard, and there is no emotional basis between her and Nagato, and Nagato certainly can't choose her as his spouse based on Cyrus's words alone.

After finishing the topic raised by Cyrus, Nagato and Violet agreed on the procedure and ceremony of enthronement, and received the promise of Violet and Cyrus to attend.

With Violet's business done, Nagato continued to arrange the other people's tasks:

Luqi and Califa summon Dressrosa's senior officials and organize public servants to carry out aftermath and pacification efforts;

Kaku and the soldiers who cleaned up and arrested Don Quixote;

Gabra, Bruno, Joe, Clay, and Anderson go to the underground trading port to protect the site and supplies;

Law and Bruno are in charge of liaising with the Lilliputies;

As for the owl, he hurriedly took advantage of the fact that Violet and Cyrus still didn't know about it, and found a way to put Rebecca back, anyway, Rebecca didn't know what was going on, so it wasn't difficult.

At the same time, Violet and Cyrus offered to help. Violet would help Luchi and Califa in commanding the officials, while Cyrus would assist Kaku and Take.

After assigning the mission, Nagato finds an inner sanctum and handles the aftermath of killing Doflamingo and taking over from Dressrosa.

Naval Headquarters, Marin Vando.

In the marshal's office, Sengoku was stuffing a confidential file he had read into the mouth of a sheep next to him, when the sound of "Brubru" suddenly came from the leftmost drawer of the desk.

Sengoku took out a key from his pocket, inserted it into the hole outside the drawer, rotated it open, found the one that was making a voice among the seven telephone bugs, picked it up and said to himself: "Damn sea rascal, the trouble is known to the whole world, and it took so long to report to the navy!" ”

"Hey! Dufflamingo! Sengoku answered the phone bug and yelled directly, "What's going on with Dressrosa!" Don Quixote's evil deeds have now spread throughout the world, and you have lost all the credibility of the king's seven martial seas and the government! ”

Sengoku scolded without even confirming anyone, but unexpectedly an unfamiliar voice came from the other side: "This is not Doflamingo, Marshal of Sengoku." ”

Warring States was stunned: "Who are you?" How can there be an encrypted phone bug of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty? ”

"Uzumaki Nagato," Nagato said on the other end of the phone bug, "As for the phone bug, it should be obvious that Dufflamingo is dead. ”

"What?" Sengoku Wuzi couldn't believe it, "That guy is actually dead?" Did you kill him? ”

Although Sengoku was shocked, his hand was not slow, and he pressed it on the wall next to him, which was the bell that notified the crane.

Nagato was silent, as if he didn't bother to confirm the Sengoku question, and only said after a few seconds: "Actually, Sengoku Marshal, I'm not here to inform you about this, I need you to help me connect to the Five Old Stars, and I need to talk to them about Dressrosa." ”

"Five old stars? You don't have them......" Sengoku was surprised again, and was about to say that the other party should have recorded the number of the five old stars, only to remember that the phone bug was no longer Duffleingo, and the phone bug in the other party's hand was an encrypted phone bug that specifically contacted him alone.

At this time, Tsuru also quickly arrived, sat next to Sengoku, and took a piece of paper handed over by Sengoku, which read: "Dufflamingo is dead, Uzumaki Nagato, and asked to call the five old stars." ”

"Uzumaki Nagato ......" Seeing the name, Tsuru whispered it, recalling the information in his head.

This thought really made her find Nagato's file, but the information was pitifully small - that is, the incident that Nagato once appeared in the capital of seven waters with gold.

This "chief staff officer" of the navy has an astonishing memory, and he even clearly remembers the reply he wrote at that time: the brigadier general is at least a general in the preliminary assessment of strength, and he has no criminal record, but at the same time, he has not seen the government's registration information, and he is temporarily on the list of C-class personnel for observation.

Crane shook his head: The judgment made by the lack of information really can't be counted, if the commodore and rear admiral can kill Doflamingo, their navy will have wiped out the Four Emperors a long time ago.

Tsuru put down the paper and didn't reply, just looked at Sengoku. Her gesture is very simple, she can't see anything at the moment, so ask first and hear what the other party wants to do.

Sengoku also understood this, and asked back: "It is impossible to give you the contact information of the five old stars!" What do you want? ”

Nagato didn't hide the slightest hint: "Take over Dressrosa." ”

"What!" The Warring States were shocked, and the crane next to him was also shocked.

They remembered that Doflamingo did have another identity, and that his death had caused Dressrosa to lose the king as well, but Nagato suddenly jumped out, how could they agree.

Sengoku was anxious to bring the phone bug closer, as if he could suppress the person on the other end of the phone bug: "The king of Dressrosa needs the world government to discuss and decide, and it must not be handed over to someone of unknown origin!" ”

The phone bug was silent for a while, and Sengoku thought it really shocked the other party.

After a while, Nagato's voice came: "From what position does the Navy stand on to talk to me?" ”

Nagato's voice didn't fluctuate, but Sengoku almost thought for a moment that he was facing the Five Old Stars, and the impatience and questioning hidden under the calm words of the other party pressed against him.

Sengoku was so asked by Nagato that he couldn't answer, not because he was afraid of being soft, but because the truth was not on his side.

Dressrosa is an independent kingdom and has joined the world government, which does not mean that the navy under the world government has the military power or the right to speak in Dressrosa, but Dressrosa, who pays taxes to the world government and the Draconians, is more qualified to be said to be the master of the navy.

Nagato, a man who said that he would take over the throne of Dressrosa, is it Sengoku's turn to talk to him?

Nagato is not a doflamingo, he has committed a lot of crimes, and his identity as a pirate has been taken care of by Sengoku. Calling him a marshal, allowing him for so long is already enough to save face!

Sengoku looked at the crane, who shook his head, and after a while wrote a few words to Sengoku: "How to take over?" Jurisprudence. ”

Sengoku, who hadn't replied to Nagato for a long time, picked up the phone bug again and said, "Uzumaki Nagato! At least not yet, and it's not up to you to become a king! ”

"Hmm." The phone bug in Sengoku's hand nodded, obviously Nagato on the other end finally felt that Sengoku had a sentence to the point, but he still didn't want to talk to Sengoku more, "This is my business with the world government, that's why I let you connect with the five old stars." ”

The Warring States choked, and it really looked like he was messing around. But objectively speaking, it is impossible for him to really let Nagato find his immediate boss with a phone call, which is the highest power of the world government!

This time there is really no way to do it, the Navy has no authority to deal with such a political incident at all.

After the two glanced at each other, Sengoku was helpless, and according to what Nagato said, he transferred the phone bug to the five old stars!

Five seconds later, the phone bug in the marshal's office disappeared.

The phone bug in Nagato's hand turned the line and connected with another phone bug, and the other side was silent for two seconds before slowly speaking.

"Hello? Who's over there? ”
