Chapter 87: Meetings (1)
Coordinates, deep in the New World, known as the "Golden Land" of Amdo, Pug City.
Under the powerful mobilization of the owner of this territory and the superpower of this world, a palace with flying eaves and arches has been completely completed in the center of the city, and this unusual style is a reminder that the pedestrians have changed their new masters!
Today, the inhabitants of Pug City are watching the palace more often than ever, for they have heard that the new lord of the place has gathered all the key dignitaries to meet here for the first official meeting of all the people in attendance to decide what to do next, and this will undoubtedly determine the fate of millions of people in this sea!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A dull and loud sound was heard, and the people on the main road in the city turned their heads to see a giant nearly ten meters tall striding towards him.
After carefully looking at the figure and appearance of the comer, a well-informed person immediately exclaimed, revealing the origin of the giant: "The two crossed black knife tattoos on the chest, the weapon is the black broadsword Tu Feng that once cut off the head of the monster Wind Roar Beast in the New World, it can't be wrong, this is - the Admiral of the Black Knife Ship Regiment, Abrams!" β
"Abrams?" A pedestrian on the side of the road changed color when he heard this, and said: "A reward of 430 million pirates!" β
"I heard that he once led a ship regiment to destroy a country in the South China Sea!"
"What's that? I've also heard that he once challenged Hawkeye, and I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, it's terrible, you must know that there are not many who can survive to challenge the world's number one swordsman. β
"Not only that, but I've heard ......"
β¦β¦
With the appearance of Abrams, who is known as the Admiral of the Underworld, the crowd here is in a commotion and a lot of discussions, which attracts the displeasure of the protagonist being discussed.
"Huh?" Abrams, whose body was far beyond ordinary people, stood still in the middle of the avenue, and he groaned dissatisfiedly, and his murderous eyes swept over the large group of people in front of him, which actually made these hundreds of people suddenly fall into the cold winter and tremble.
Just as people felt that their lives were in danger, a hand reached out to block Abrams's fist, and it was only then that people realized that there was a man of insufficient height but elegant temperament next to Abrams's huge body.
None other than Joe.
"Admiral, please don't lose a big deal because of a small thing. While we were still in the outer seas, we were forbidden to kill for no reason, let alone now. This is the heart of the world, and we're all under the Lord's men. Joe said unhurriedly to Abrams.
"Humph!" Hearing this, Abrams's fist tightened twice, and finally gave up with a cold snort.
After the interlude, the group continued on, while the passers-by who remained behind them breathed a sigh of relief.
In the crowd, someone reacted and patted his head: "That's right! I heard that Abrams had already joined the 'Six Paths' banner, and it was his Black Knife Ship Regiment that took over and took control of the outer islands. β
People suddenly said, "That's right, that makes sense." It seems that he is also here to attend today's cadre meeting. β
The people were talking about the big names of the New World, and at this time, the Underworld Admirals also walked to the walls of the outer city of the palace.
At the gate, a sturdy man who was hiding in the shade in the doorway, leaning against the wall, saw them and immediately jumped in front of them, it was Gabra. He grinned and said in his usual mocking tone: "The movement is really slow, Uncle Ben is here until he is about to fall asleep, could it be that he can't go to the periphery to deal with some little pirates, right?" Road - strange! β
In the queue, an inconspicuous man stepped out of it. When he blended in the ranks, it was like a shadow melting into darkness, no one could detect it, which was why none of the people in the street recognized him, and when he walked in front of people, the cold momentum gave people a huge pressure, giving people a sense of contradiction that was both sharp and dignified.
This is the strongest and most ruthless killing weapon in the history of the previous CP9, the strongest in the 800 years of Justice Island, and the highest combat power under one person among the forces that now occupy this sea, Rob Lucci.
"You're talking too much."
Lu Qi was still ten meters away from Gabra one second, and the next second he came to Gabra's side as if he was teleporting, so arrogant that he didn't even bother to say the words of counterattack, just said: "Lead the way, Gabra." β
ββ¦β¦ Cut! Gabra gritted his teeth in anger but was helpless. In the past, he would inevitably say a few more words and even make comparisons, but since the battle of Dressrosa, Luki's evolution speed has reached an incredible level, even if he and Kaku have awakened one after another, they are beyond their reach, just like now, Luqi's hand shaving has directly made him unable to react.
Although Gabra likes to be stubborn, he is not the one who wants to suffer losses, so he can only write down this one more and wait for his strength to grow in the future, and then go back to settle the account.
"Let's go, don't lose it." Gabra's task was indeed to lead the way for Luqi and his party, lest they get lost in the newly completed complex palace, and beckoned to the front.
A crew member of the Black Knife Ship Regiment was not allowed to stop outside Miyagi, and only Luki, Abrams, and Joe followed Gabra into the city in turn.
The group walked in the palace for more than a quarter of an hour, and there were more than ten palaces of different sizes scattered along the way, and finally they came to a palace that was neither small but not particularly huge, and walked behind the gate that the two guards pushed open for them.
The three of them followed Gabra into the door, and ten eyes were cast in an instant, and for a while, even Abrams, who was unbridled in the New World, couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw a huge round table in front of me in the middle of the hall, and Hanks, Cyrus, Violet, Clay, Anderson, Kaku, Bruno, Ogour, Owl, and Califa sat in turn.
There is no doubt that they have made a name for themselves in the battle that shocked the world the day before yesterday, and in the current new world, they are the big people who have suddenly risen to the top of many pirates!
And in the middle of this group of people, directly opposite the three of Lu Qi, it is Nagato!
The door opened, and Nagato, who was located directly above, looked at it and nodded, "This is Admiral Abrams, it's hard work." β
Abrams, who can kill people with just his eyes on the long street in the city, is still reckless at the moment, but he doesn't have a trace of cruelty, he just looks at the people in front of him, especially Nagato, with his eyes, and replied hoarsely: "That's right, Nagato...... Your Majesty. Also, the teabearded man Lao Tzu brought it to you! β
"Presumptuous!"
"Look, this is a really talkative, ahahaha......"
Abrams didn't finish his sentence, and Cyrus and Clay, who were sitting at the top, rebuked and mocked Abrams for his rudeness.
At this time, Joe hurriedly came to the rescue and said: "Admiral Abrams's words are reckless, please forgive Your Majesty." β
"Joe, it seems that you still haven't changed your identity as a Black Knife Commander......"
"Alright." Nagato's words interrupted Clay's continued taunting, and at the same time thought to himself: It seems that it is not appropriate to designate Clay, Joe, and Anderson as the pirates under his command. It is clear that the experience of being a toy is not enough to become a bond between the party, and there is no doubt that with the rapid expansion of power brought about by the victory in the New World, the open and secret battles between them, including Cyrus, Luch and others, will gradually become clear and fierce.
But whether it's Clay's natural penchant for stirring up trouble or his keen sense and resistance to the Black Knives' assault on Abrams and Joe, now is not the time for them to fight.
Nagato then sat down with Luci, Abrams, and Joe, and they were placed after Cyrus and Abrams and Joe behind Violet, and made them know each other.
After letting Abrams greet everyone one by one, and the cadres under him got to know each other so far, Nagato turned back to Abrams's previous words: "Abrams, you and the Black Knife Ship Regiment have joined us, and you are currently an important backbone, without your manpower, I would not be able to control the thirty-seven islands on the periphery, compared to this credit, Teabeard is insignificant." β
Abrams was about to speak, but Joe reached out and pressed it for fear that he would say the wrong thing again.
Joe wasn't worried that Nagato would be upset, as he understood that Nagato was clearly going to have something to do.
"If you have a fault, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded, let's talk about it, do you have any requirements?" Nagato, who was sitting directly above, said.
As soon as Nagato's words came out, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Abrams, and Clay looked even more ruthless.
Nagato observed this, but he was not bothered by it in the slightest.
Because Cyrus and Violet have fulfilled their long-cherished wish to overthrow Doflamingo, Clay, Joe, and Anderson have been restored from toys, and CP9 has been transformed from a wanted government to a guest, but they have all been gifted by Nagato.
And Abrams has not.
What's more, I have to say that among the crowd, Abrams is neither the strongest as Luqi nor as special as Violet, but so far he and his Black Knife Ship Regiment have contributed the most to Nagato.
On the other hand, Nagato must be rewarded for Abrams' work.
"Being able to manage the Thirty-Seven Islands for His Majesty is already the greatest reward." After a brief pause, Abrams replied.
Clay and the others, including Nagato, were a little surprised. In the past, he was a wild and presumptuous Abrams pirate, but now that he can become the commander of a large ship group, Abrams is naturally not really a reckless man.
Abrams spoke beautifully, but the implication was that he wanted to take charge of the Thirty-Seven Islands. Even if he had the heart to reward him, Nagato naturally wouldn't allow it: "You have a heart, but the current shortage of manpower will not be the norm, if you really want to take on such a big responsibility, then let you and the strength of the black knife quickly improve to that level." β
Between words, Nagato stared at Abrams on his right, and in the face of Nagato's eyes, Abrams didn't dare to say a word.
After a slight tap, Nagato spoke, "In that case, I'll give you a chanceβI've heard you're not capable yet." The underground trade in my hands has been sorted out, and the artificial Devil Fruit Project called SMILE is also underway, so in addition to the natural and phantom beast species, the superhuman and animal Devil Fruits, if you have the ability you want, you can go back and bring it up, so that it can be regarded as a chance for you and Black Knife to grow up. β
Hearing this, Abrams, who was still a little unhappy, also nodded.
"What do you think?" Nagato looked at the other thirteen.
Everyone bowed their heads in agreement. They also know the role of Abrams and the Black Knife Ship, and now that Abrams has the space for the future, they don't have time and leeway.
"In that case, the Abrams affair is over." Seeing that the foreplay before the main event had come to an end, Nagato finally pulled everyone back to the topic: "So, let's officially begin, today's meeting." β
