Chapter 367: Polusalino: The Strongest in the Navy! The Great Crisis of Polusalino!
As the number one moth within the world government, Polusalino has thought deeply about the concept of "loyalty" from his own reality, and summed up two points:
First, loyal plasma never gets too hot.
Second, loyalty is not absolute, which is equivalent to absolute disloyalty.
Putting aside the first one, which is a bit incompatible with the world of pirates, the second one, Polusalino is surrounded by living examples. And there is no doubt that the special existence in CP0, Stussy, is a typical representative.
As Polusalino said to Fraser, this woman is a high-ranking member of CP0, one of the six emperors of the underworld. Strength, power, wealth, she has them all, even if you look at the whole world, she also belongs to the first grade of the group of big people.
But unlike the other big guys, everything this woman has is based on the foundation given by the world government - the five old stars can just think about it, and she can fall directly from the clouds to a situation far inferior to the wandering girls under her.
Especially as a high-level CP0, Stussy is very clear that the kind of people he represents are naked tools in the eyes of the top leaders of the world government, and the more they are used, the more they know, the closer they are to death. And those high-level people are also cold political machines, with no human feelings to speak of.
Therefore, as a smart person, as a smart person who has already tasted the pleasures of big people, Stussy cannot be as foolish as a fool to offer absolute loyalty to the world government - not to mention that she is also the famous "Queen of Joy Street", the culmination of the women in the world who know how to deal and betray the most.
And for her, the more important point is that her own situation has a certain peculiarity - this peculiarity makes her forced to serve the world government only as a CP0 for the rest of her life.
That's right, it's the secret of her age, and it's what Fraser has investigated, this woman hasn't changed her appearance in decades.
As we all know, there are many legends of so-called immortality in the world of pirates, such as the Millennium Dragon, Pure Gold, Surgical Fruits, Demonic Power, Lily Carnation, ...... These legends are true and false, and the price to be paid varies. But in any case, after all, immortality is one of the ultimate aspirations of human beings, and countless people are willing to pay for it.
But Polusalino, who had investigated the intelligence on all sides, knew very well that Stussy's age secret was definitely not at the level of "immortality". I don't know if it's the power of the Devil Fruit or the technology, but it's a fully deteriorated version, much less effective and more costly - and like the witch Belmode who took the degraded version of the rejuvenation drug in the "Broken Eucalyptus of the Grim Reaper" he watched before he crossed over. The price of Stussy maintaining his age is also controlled by the world government, and he seems to have a high status, but in fact, his freedom and even his life are not his own.
Let's try it soon, everyone. γ
Therefore, for a combination of various reasons, Stussy must be secretly keeping a back hand for himself and finding a way, which is the normal feeling of human beings, the common feelings of intelligent people.
For example, as a "pimp" (middleman) and participant, she has attracted sponsorship for the MADS research team - not only can she further expand her influence in the underground world and make connections with top emperors, but also bring some bonus information to the world government, and she can also use the power of these world's smartest brains to solve her own problems, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
In the same way, she also came to meet Fraser with the idea of "eating two fish" - in her opinion, Fraser, as the weakest of the three still reigning Pirate Emperors, is only a faΓ§ade and harmless to people and animals, but in fact he is also a careerist who is not willing to be lonely. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been doing auction deals in New World all the time, and suddenly made a move on Vegapunk's hometown research institute.
It's a pity that she never expected that Fraser was not a careerist at all, and he was just an undercover naval agent who yearned for justice.
And due to the subtle influence of Polusalino over the years, although Fraser has not yet fully understood Stussy's intentions, he decisively and boldly "bites the bait" without any instructions from the top. Agreed to work with the "Fortune God" Lufeld and Stussy to turn the research materials obtained from the Begapunk Hometown Research Institute into valuable projects and results.
What? Fraser just went around Vegapunk's hometown and made a symbolic move, but he didn't get any really valuable research materials at all?
Just kidding, in the hands of Polusalino and Vegapunk, there are many projects that are not easy to carry out under the nose of the world government, or projects that do not have enough energy to deal with, so there are not too many - it is just left to the "illegal research institute" sponsored by the king of high x loans, and they do not contribute to the work, just pick the peaches at the end.
So, Polusalino, who had just stayed overnight in the bed of the Dragon Man, was "very relieved by the dragon's heart", and did not hesitate to praise himself:
"Fraser, you're doing well, you're doing well! It is in vain that the old man has cultivated you for so many years, and when the big plan succeeds in the future, the old man must personally award you a medal! β
- Porusalino has already thought about it, and when the time comes, when the big plan is over, at the stage of rewarding meritorious deeds, he will incarnate as "Bo Xunzong" and "Fa Xun Emperor", and all kinds of face brushing and pretending.
However, Frazier, who had always been completely obedient to his commands, suddenly went against the norm today, and although he was a little hesitant, he still expressed his opposition:
"General Polusalino, I appreciate the importance you have shown me, but if I could, I hope it is not you who will award me the medal......"
At first, Polusalino was holding a teacup soaked with wolfberries in both hands, but at this moment, one hand was quietly placed under the table, and he quietly pinched his thigh-
Oops, this kid is rebellious, is the plug-in for washing fruits about to expire?!
However, before Polusalino could reply, Fraser took a deep breath, his face flushed, and he spoke firmly, as if he had mustered up great courage:
"If you could...... I hope you can get my brother to give me the medal himself! β
- Brother??
Even with Polusalino's brain processing power, which can be called a light brain, it took nearly half a second to react, yes, when he brainwashed Fraser with Lieutenant General Tsuru's washing fruit, he made up a half-brother Sakasky for Fraser, an orphan without any relatives, and then Fraser was adopted by Sakasky's family.
Including himself, in order to take advantage of Sakasky, he made nonsense about the identity of a Sakasky's father, saying that he had always treated Sakasky as a nephew, and that both Sakasky and Fraser had to call themselves uncles......
And then there is something Fraser has always dreamed of his brother Sakaski, but both of them have a hot temper, so the relationship is not harmonious. So he wants to prove himself to Sakasky, to become the steel nail of justice that will never fall off inside the pirates, a lonely warrior who carries justice in the dark, and breaks the setting that Sakasky thinks is "stupid Oodoudou" and "longing is the farthest distance from understanding......
To tell the truth, Polusalino was about to cry - whether it was the fruit washing fruit that was too powerful, or the Fraser kid was too simple, he almost forgot about these bloody settings.
However, after all, Polusalino is the fastest in the pirate world, and his reaction speed is also the same, so he switched to a private mode that has nothing to do with official business at the first time, and his face was full of "kind" smiles:
"Fraser, even without these credits, from the moment you decide to risk your life and break into the evil pirates, Uncle I, the most ...... I decided to let your stupid brother Sakasky realize how great and growing your brother is! β
"When the time comes, don't let him give you a medal, even if you let him retract his old words, and then let you condescendingly call him a 'stupid Ernie-chan', I will definitely fulfill this wish for you!"
It can only be said that the foundation of the pirate world is worthy of the juvenile hot-blooded manga created by Oda old thief, and the people here are indeed very emotional. Before Pollusalino could say anything, Fraser began to weep bitterly, and when he had finished, Fraser wept uncontrollably, and was eager to give his heart at once for the cause of justice and for his uncle, who understood his thoughts.
"Wave ...... Uncle ......"
"Don't cry, Frazier, you are now the Emperor of the Pirates, even if there are no outsiders, you must maintain your image of attention!"
Polusalino also pretended to take off his glasses, bowed his head slightly, and rubbed his eyebrows as if he was also touched, "Just remember that what you love is your life!" β
"I see, uncle!"
After all, he has been wandering for so many years and has become a big man with the name of the One Piece Emperor, although his strength is only at the level of the mid-grade Seven Martial Seas, but in terms of temperament, Fraser can still grasp it - after a short period of venting and uncontrollability, he has reverted back to that bluffing capable appearance.
So, what do you think...... How long will it take? β
Polusalino, of course, knew what time Fraser was asking, so he waved his hand as usual:
"Three years!"
"Three years after three, three years after three, three years after three, three years after three years!"
"Uh, actually......"
"Don't worry, I've been mentally prepared for a long time! General Polusalino! All for justice! β
ββ¦β¦ Good, very energetic! β
β¦β¦
After Fraser hung up the phone, the shocked Polusalino first drank two sips of wolfberry tea to ease his nerves, and then decisively called Tina - Rear Admiral Fina ate the fluttering fruit and lurked in the naval air fortress "Sky Curtain Monster" as a reserve hidden force for the navy's grand plan; Gion eats the soul fruit and is a candidate for the future admiral, and the growing queen of souls crusades against pirates, Polusalino chooses Tina as his temporary secretary.
On the one hand, Tina is indeed a talented person in doing things, and on the other hand, this little girl is also very eye-catching, and Polusalino feels happy even if she only comes to the office occasionally.
"Tina, I remember there was a meeting today, right?"
"Report to General Polusalino, Tina informed you the day before yesterday that it was Lieutenant General Tsuru who presided over the meeting, and it was half an hour now. But you pushed it off on the grounds that Mary Joya had something important. β
Tina replied solemnly.
"Ah, did I push it off last night......"
The night before yesterday, Polusalino was still studying the body structure of the world nobles, the descendants of the Creator, let alone having a meeting, and One Piece Roger would not be distracted even if he survived (Mr. 3's call was very well timed, with an intermission).
But now, through Fraser, who has been fooled into a fool again, he has deeply experienced the power of Lieutenant General Crane to wash the fruit, and he has decided to be a good man!
Sure enough, just as Nami was able to suppress the Straw Hats, Lieutenant General Tsuru was also the strongest uncrowned Marin Vando. General Zefa, Lieutenant General Karp, Sengoku Marshal...... The older generation is still experienced, veteran!
"In any case, it is rare for Lieutenant General Tsuru to preside over a meeting, it must be very important, I still have to go there,"
Polusalino made up his mind without hesitation, and while taking out the conference notebook that he hadn't written for almost three years, he didn't forget to explain to Tina:
"Don't forget to go to the assessment office and fill in my full attendance for this month, Tina."
"General Polusalino, you have given this unreasonable order again, and you have been on full duty for four days this month...... Tina, Tina's refusal! β
One of Tina's excellence lies in her ability to do things at a glance and very seriously, and the title "Black Threshold" that she will receive in the future not only refers to her ability to bear the fruit of the threshold, but also indicates her character - even during her vacation, she will not forget to capture the remnants of the Baroque work society.
Therefore, it is not the first time that she has shown her resistance to Porusalino's unreasonable orders.
However, it wasn't the first time that Polusalino had pinched her:
"Tina, Smoker, if I remember correctly, it's almost time to change the guard lately, right? But I heard Gion say that this kid has no intention of coming back at all, and is bent on crusading against pirates to improve his strength, thinking that his current life is both free and exciting...... You don't want to be happy with yourself...... Recognized classmates are unbalanced, right? β
- Of course, the recognized classmates are fake, but the classmates who like them are real, and the identity of the knocking scientist that Polusalino occasionally embodies is of course even more true.
"Tina, Tina...... General Polusalino is despicable! β
β¦β¦
"Yo, everyone is still here today, and no one is absent? But it's not for me to say, I'm a little lazy, why is there still someone pinching the point? β
Sitting lazily on the sofa in the large conference room on the top floor of the Marinfando Fortress, Polusalino was beside him as if no one was sending grapes to his mouthβnot to mention, although they were the same variety of grapes, they felt different when they were fed to themselves and to others themselves.
And the people in the solemn seats next to Polusalino almost included most of the top brass of the Navy Headquarters.
Porusalino wondered if it was not the first time he had eaten at a meeting, nor was it the first time he had spoken before a meeting, so why did everyone present look at him with the eyes of a rare object?
"TMD finally knows it's time for a meeting?" Yellow Ape's General, the old man thought that you were in the mouth of the Dead Sea King, and then turned into their excrement and sank to the bottom of the sea at a distance of 10,000 meters~"
The marshal of the Warring States period, who combed his braids, looked at Polusalino with a smile with the elegance and easy-going of the "Warring States of Buddha".
General Zefa also made a rare straightforward statement, taking into account the friendship between Polusalino and his master and apprentice, showing his white and neat teeth, pushing his sunglasses, and speaking very honestly:
"What the Warring States said is a bit excessive, as a marshal of the navy, known as the Great Buddha, how can you curse your powerful subordinates? My suggestion is that before the meeting begins, let's kill this kid Porusalino, right? Anyway, it doesn't hurt whether Marin Fando has such a yellow ape general or not, and I, a 'don't kill' general, still have the energy and heart to return to service......"
