"What a cooperative method." Tsuru replied. When answering, she preconceived about skipping Fang Xing's questions, or she had already skipped the beginning of the preparation stage and moved towards the process stage. She did this only to block the navy that was also surrounding the navy, and even in such a situation that was not good for the navy, some traditional people would rather sacrifice their interests than accept the assistance of those who defected from the navy, or should it be said that assistance could not even be called a deal.

She replied one step ahead, so that these reserved navies, even if they complained, would look at her face in the navy for many years, and not make a fuss when the phone bug was still connected, which was enough for Tsuru. Of course, the biggest reason for keeping them silent is Sengoku, who stands on one side and tacitly supports the Tsuru's approach.

"I have three agreements regarding cooperation." Square Street.

"Oh? Which three? Tsuru asked.

"I have the information you want, and you have the information I want, so the first thing to do is to exchange information. I hope that in the future, when I need information, the Navy can provide me with the corresponding information, of course, I will also provide the information that the Navy needs, but on this article, a shackle must be added, that is, the other party is not willing to tell the information can not be forced. ”

Crane frowned, and his tone was not very good, "That's completely because you have the advantage, most of the information you know has been explained, and the navy has a perfect intelligence system that can continue to collect other intelligence, no matter how you look at it, the navy suffers." ”

"But my intelligence is invaluable to the Navy, isn't it?"

“... You're right, so the second point? ”

"The second point, if the two sides cooperate, I want it to be real cooperation, not .."

Tsuru answered, "Like the kind of cooperation you deceived your opponent before?" Rest assured, it's obvious that the situation in the sea is much more important than cleaning up your brat. ”

"I'm like that kind of person." Fang Xing's tone looked helpless.

"Originally, stop talking nonsense, let's talk about the third one." Tsuru said.

This sentence also means that the second point is agreed. As for whether or not it can actually be done as promised, it's a question for both parties – promise is the least trustworthy thing in the world, and when it gives you the security you want, the next moment it can tear it up along with that layer of security. But on this point, Fang Xing and He both maintained a tacit understanding, as if they didn't have this worry, and jumped over.

"Third, I want the Navy to protect Ace while it is operating." Fang Xing said flatly.

However, compared to Fang Xing's bland tone, the entire navy seemed to explode.

"What a joke! What kind of bastard talk this is! ”

The foul-mouthed man is Dauberman, who is not very good-tempered. He had lived with Fang Xing before, and he also strongly agreed with some of his methods, such as his strategy against pirates. But from the moment Fang Xing defected and fled the navy, he separated the public and private, and he didn't dare to agree with the demands he made at this moment!

In the initial understanding, the navy is responsible for apprehending pirates, but in fact, because of the pirates' counterattack, an irresolvable hatred has been established between the navy and the pirates, or a friendship between friends, or a family enmity, or a common hatred. The scars on Dauberman's face, the friends who once had dreams together but were already lying under the loess, all these were built by the navy, and there were many other navies like him. In short, this is an unquenchable hatred, let the navy protect the pirates, this joke is not funny!

"I can't accept it, the only thing to do between the navy and the pirates is to fight."

"Let the navy protect the pirates, especially the whitebearded ones, what will the rest of the people think? I'm afraid it will give the world the feeling that the navy is afraid of Whitebeard. ”

The navy in the meeting was chattering, and more people moved their eyes to the front of the meeting, where there were some of the most authoritative people in the entire navy, except for a few people who did not come to the meeting, including flying squirrels, ghost spiders, fire mountains, Dauberman, yellow apes, etc.... And their attitude is all against it. Under such circumstances, everyone turned their eyes to Sengoku and Tsuru, who had not made a decision.

As if the Warring States were unconscious, they still remained silent, giving people a silent and calm marshal demeanor. It's just that the corner of his eye betrayed him, he was not as calm as he appeared, if it weren't for the good psychological quality of the Warring States, I am afraid that in such a situation, a cold sweat would have already broken out on the corner of his forehead, and he refused to conform to the ideas of other admirals. But out of trust in the crane, he chose to wait, waiting for the crane to give her answer, just as before.

All this time, Tsuru did not disappoint him, and many times when he was unable to make strategic decisions, it was Tsuru who helped him make this decision. This time he was not prepared to make an exception, and wanted to hear what Tsuru had to say.

Tsuru remained silent for nearly thirty seconds after that, and this silence might be just a drink of water, catch her breath, and be in a daze for others, but for Tsuru, she rarely wasted such time. This third requirement of Fang Xing seems simple, but it is actually difficult. If it is a private commitment, she can easily make a commitment and arrange it in private. But this is on the surface, if the navy promises, it will be succumbing to the pirates' practices and cooling the hearts of most people. However, if he refuses, it is not in line with the current interests, and it may also cause changes on Fang Xing's side. She is familiar with Karp, and she understands the relationship between Ace and Karp, so it is not difficult to deduce Fang Xing's relationship with him.

After a difficult decision, she made a decision. "Yes."

"Lieutenant General Crane!" Most of the navy shouted, but was suppressed by the sound of Sengoku breaking the table.

"Looks like you're going to have a lot of fun over there." Fang Xing teased.

This incident was caused by you, and now I'm still in the mood to ridicule there, this stinky fart character is just like Karp, what an unlovely person. Tsuru said inwardly. However, she has forgotten her character, and she is also unpleasant in front of the navy, obstinate, dictator, and general staff officer are perhaps some of the words often used by the navy.

"Fang Xing boy! Let me explain in advance that the protection of the navy is not the protection of the regular situation, and our protection practice is to destroy the invading enemy, just to protect the inhabitants and have no intention of protecting Ace, do you understand this? Tsuru pointed. This statement, while satisfying this condition, also gave the other navies a reassuring statement that they were only there to protect the citizens, not to protect the hateful pirates. Thinking about it this way, the navy, which had been suppressed by the Warring States and still had anger in his words, slowly returned to normal.

"If that inconsequential explanation satisfies that requirement, then I don't care." Fang Xing said nonchalantly.

Just as he was about to hang up the phone bug, Tsuru suddenly spoke up, and in response to the flaws he had just exposed, she added her attack.

"You said before that it's an agreement, the first and second points are mutual benefit and mutual assistance between the two sides, and the third point is more like a condition than an agreement, and protecting Ace is your wishful thinking, don't you think you should meet a condition on the navy's side?"

Fang Xing was stunned for a moment, and immediately found a reason to refute it.

"However, if Ace dies, Whitebeard will inevitably draw his anger to the navy under the traction of someone with a heart, and help him is also to help yourself, isn't it?"

"Yes or no, it's not up to you. In fact, what didn't happen, even if you guessed correctly, was just speculation, so I have a requirement on my side, and that is that you must act in the name of the Navy. ”

In the name of the Navy? Fang Xing pondered the meaning of the crane's words. He thought that he was nondescript at the moment, if he was in action, he hung the name of the navy and shouted that the navy was doing things, uh... A proper air of a villain on the street. Fang Xing didn't think that he would bring any benefit to him and the navy in the name of the navy. He didn't understand the intention of the crane hidden under it, but it didn't prevent him from recovering a little benefit, at least not to lose the temperament hidden under his character.

"The request you said is not difficult." Fang Xing said, "But I just said that Ace's point is an agreement, and the original agreement was proposed by me, whether I agree or not to agree on the side of the navy, if you don't agree, it's a big deal to get together and disperse." If I want to meet this requirement, I want to open up the triangular current for me. ”

"What a little devil who loves to take advantage!" Tsuru didn't say angrily. What is called an agreement is proposed by him, so the navy must occupy a passive position, originally this cooperation is based on the situation of both sides, and satisfying the interests of both sides is the most basic point of cooperation. As a senior staff officer of the Navy, the reason why she acquiesced to Fang Xing's proposal was only because of the friendship she had with before.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't be so easy to talk to. In the case of already knowing the other party's plan, Crane is still confident that he can prevent this catastrophe, Fang Xing's participation only gives the navy an additional dispensable combat power, and the only advantage that can be talked about may be that Fang Xing is still communicating with the hidden mastermind. It's just that this advantage is not an advantage soon, in the case of the plan being exposed, even if Fang Xing does not say the identity of the mastermind, as long as the investigation is carried out around the participants of the plan, under such a powerful intelligence network as the Navy and the World Government, it is only a matter of time before the identity of the mastermind is revealed.

"I may have learned this from you." Fang Xingdao, originally he didn't think about things so thoughtfully, and he wasn't so "greedy", what really made him look like this may be because he got along with Crane for a while and slowly learned from her.

"You're as annoying as Karp." Tsuru said lightly.

"No, obviously that old man is a little annoying, that violent maniac!" Fang Xing gritted his teeth and said. After saying this, he took the initiative to hang up the phone bug. He didn't say "happy cooperation" after cooperating with other people in the past, because often when he said that he was happy, it was precisely when he was unhappy, and his cooperation was a proper scam arranged by him. This time, however, he had to participate in the cooperation of the Navy in earnest.

After Fang Xing hung up, the meeting was lively again, and the admirals of the navy returned to discuss.

"What do you think of this collaboration?" Sengoku asked.

After a short discussion, several authoritative lieutenant generals answered each other.

"Although Fang Xing's guy has a problem with his personality, I think his approach is still full of justice, and he will not lie in this kind of struggle that may sweep the entire battlefield. I believe that this collaboration is genuine. Dauberman said, slapping the table.

"Well, I agree with that too. Judging from Vice Admiral Tsuru's approach, she seems to agree with this action, and it is obvious how much pressure her decision has reduced to the Navy as a senior staff officer, so I am willing to believe her this time. "Burn the mountain road.

"I think it's okay to think about it, but we can't let our guard down, we must continue to arrange surveillance next to that person in Fang Xing, and at the same time increase the intensity of surveillance. There is also consideration of solving problems independently without his help. The flying squirrel said.

The ghost spider just kept a dark expression and didn't answer.

After the well-known lieutenant generals finished answering, everyone turned their eyes to the yellow ape, the only general who participated in this meeting this time, naturally his opinion should also be respected. The yellow ape showed a troubled expression, scratched his head, and then replied slowly, "It's terrible, this atmosphere." I think so. ”

Warring States frowned and looked at the yellow ape, looking dissatisfied. It's not that I'm not dissatisfied with his answer, but I'm not satisfied with his attitude.

"Polusalino! You obviously had a chance to arrest Fang Xing in Nabalon Fortress, although Fang Xing's kid has grown up, but judging from your ability and Jonathan's report, you didn't use all your strength. ”

"There is no point in scolding, Marshal Sengoku, you should calm down first. If General Yellow Ape arrested Fang Xing, it would be a bad thing, maybe this conspiracy would not be able to be stopped. Crane said calmly, this calm attitude also made Sengoku a little soothed. Although the yellow ape was scolded, he didn't show any expression, but kept maintaining an obscene expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Tsuru dragged her chin, this way made her think more agile, "Now we have to guard against more than this, the movements of the Four Emperors in the New World Realm in the second half of the Great Voyage, in addition to the person named Titch. ”

"Titch?" Sengoku thought for a moment and said, "Although he is a newcomer with potential, I think that compared to Whitebeard and the others, he is just an ambitious pirate now. ”

"That's what I thought. But I followed this in my mind, and I thought of bad results. If his ambitions are fully realized, he may become the most intractable pirate. ”

Advance City, where criminals from all over the world are held. And the prisoners of the sixth layer of infinite hell are either death row criminals or extremely heinous criminals who are imprisoned for life, and once they escape, they can cause turmoil in the sea, not to mention that there are monster-level characters among them who have been erased from history. Moreover, Blackbeard's own Dark Fruit ability is known as the most vicious Devil Fruit ability in history, if someone can really swallow two Devil Fruits by one person, and then let him steal Whitebeard's Shock Fruit, you can imagine what kind of terrible consequences will happen.

Sengoku understood the seriousness of the situation, "I will let the Advance City side strengthen its defenses, and at the same time, do you want to launch a pursuit operation against the Blackbeard Pirates?" ”

Tsuru nodded, "Who do you think is the right person?" ”

"Judging from his defeat of the captain of Whitebeard's second team, if you want to safely gnaw at the Blackbeard Pirates, you must be hunted down by the Great Future." Sengoku analyzed. "Let the pheasants go."
