Chapter 149: The Empress's Attitude
To be honest, when he received this task, Lin's face was strange, Lin didn't expect that Sengoku would give him such a task.
Originally, this task was supposed to be carried out by Lieutenant General Mole, but somehow, it seemed that Lieutenant General Mole didn't want to take on this task very much, so this task fell to Lin's head.
Lin thought about it for a while and figured it out, this Nine Snake Pirates is a hot potato in everyone's eyes, many lieutenant generals are broken there, and everyone doesn't want to touch it, this Seven Martial Seas invitation is an invitation to cooperate, but everyone knows that it is unreasonable to be with a woman, especially that kind of beautiful woman.
In case the Nine Snake Pirates refused to cooperate and did not accept the invitation of the Seven Martial Seas, it would be embarrassing at that time.
Besides, the average lieutenant general is not Hancock's opponent, so this kind of task seems beautiful, but it is actually a thankless task.
And Lin has recently been in the limelight, promoted from a small brigadier general to a lieutenant general who holds a lot of power, and the time has been less than three months.
Every lieutenant general was promoted to lieutenant general after years of hard work, and in the process, most of the lieutenant generals also established their own network of relationships in the process.
Now Lin Yuan, a small brigadier general, wanted to insert it into it, and many lieutenant generals certainly had strange ideas.
However, with the coercion of Zefa and the Warring States on the side, it was not easy to do too much, so there was such a show, and everyone excused themselves and asked Lin to invite the Nine Snake Pirates.
However, Lin was also happy to accept the task.
Not many people know the history of Lin and Hancock's real past exchanges, and Lin didn't tell anyone about knowing Hancock, and even Zefa didn't know that Lin had crossed paths with Hancock.
After receiving the mission letter from the Warring States, Lin drove the Warship Watcher and went out to sea to find the Nine Snake Pirates.
Although he knew the specific location of Nine Snake Island, Lin Ye still had to make a show, and he couldn't just drive straight to Nine Snake Island.
After wandering on the surface of the sea for a while, Lin finally encountered the Nine Snake Pirates who had gone out to sea to plunder again.
Two large snakes are pulling the ship of the Nine Snake Pirates, and it seems that they are about to attack a merchant ship.
Seeing the Nine Snakes Pirates' pirate ship passing, the merchant ship hurriedly hung an unknown pirate flag on the mast, as if to tell the people of the Nine Snakes Pirates that we were sheltered by this pirate group.
This kind of behavior is very common, many chambers of commerce will secretly have a good relationship with some pirates of the Great Voyage, the world of One Piece is not only about dreams and blood, but also firewood and life, there will be business if there is a need, let alone in a place like the Great Voyage.
The weather on the Great Voyage can change treacherously, one moment it may be clear, the next moment it may be snowy.
Those who can still go to sea in such bad weather are either navy, pirates or merchant ships.
In the four seas, some resources are not as abundant as the great shipping routes, but the traffic is indeed much smoother than here, because the weather in the four seas is not as bad as the great shipping routes.
However, it was precisely this bad weather that had long since led to the development of the Great Shipping Chamber.
A thing may sell for only a hundred baileys in its place of origin, or a thousand or more on another island.
In business, capital is put into operation as soon as there is a proper profit.
If there is a 10% profit, it has to be guaranteed to be used everywhere; With a 20% profit, it becomes active; With a 50% profit, it takes risks; For the sake of 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; With a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime.
And on the Great Voyage, which is nearly ten or even twenty times the profit, what reason could there be to stop the merchant from pursuing such a huge profit.
However, the Great Passage is not safe here, in addition to natural disasters there are also man-made disasters, and an endless stream of pirates from all over the world flock to the Great Route, at this time, the merchant cargo ships can easily encounter the pirates.
It's very helpless, after encountering pirates on the Great Voyage, it is useless to move out of the name of the navy, so many chambers of commerce will choose a powerful pirate group and choose to pay protection money, so that they can hang their pirate flag on the merchant ship to deter their opponents.
However, it is very unfortunate that today's merchant ship encountered no ordinary pirates, if it were ordinary pirates, they might hesitate to set up an enemy for themselves when they saw a cargo ship flying the flag of sea pirates.
The Nine Snake Pirates had no such considerations, because of their wayward emperors.
The graceful figure lay lazily on the pink throne, surrounded by a large colorful snake, and Hancock's jade hand pointed forward.
"Grab it all for me!"
"Yes! Snake Hime-sama"
However, before the ship of the Nine Snakes Pirates approached the merchant ship, Lin walked alone from the warship to the top of the Nine Snakes' pirate ship.
"Hancock, long time no see!"
Lin stood at the bow of the boat and waved his hand at the Nine Snakes.
"Big sister!"
After the Nine Snakes saw Lin, they were all on guard, and the oppression brought by Lin to everyone last time had not been lifted.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I didn't have any malice this time!" Lin said with a smile.
However, Lin's smile seemed to Hancock's two sisters as a provocation, after all, a navy stepped on a pirate ship so unscrupulously, no one would believe that Lin came with good intentions.
Hancock stepped down from his throne and came to the front of the forest.
"What are you doing here?"
It seems that because of the last time Hancock saved his life, Hancock's tone is not as aggressive as before.
"Na!"
Lin handed the letter back to Hancock.
Hancock opened the letter and looked at it, his face changed twice, if it wasn't brought by Lin, maybe the letter had turned into crumbs by now.
"Seven Martial Seas?" Hancock asked with a grim look on his face.
"That's right, this is the Marshal of the Warring States ...
"Needless to say, I refuse!"
Before Lin's words were finished, Hancock rejected Lin without hesitation, showing no mercy at all.
The reason for Hancock's refusal, Lin also knows.
The three Hancock sisters were sold as slaves by the Draconians since they were children, and they suffered terribly.
However, now that Lin wants to recruit her and let her work for the navy, isn't this equivalent to being a thug for the Tianlong people?
How could Hancock accept this kind of thing!
It was not an easy task to get Han Cook to accept the conscription of the Seven Martial Seas.
However, Lin didn't think that this matter could be solved so easily, and when he came to the Nine Snakes, handed over the invitation, and Han Cook accepted, this task was definitely not so easy.
However, Lin Ke didn't have so much time to grind his tongue, and in the face of Han Cook, who was unwilling to accept the recruitment of the Seven Martial Seas, Lin chose the easiest way.
"It's really three days without fighting, go to the house and uncover the tiles!"
