Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 224 Dinner (14)

The fact that the Navy invited Lao Cai to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea had nothing to do with the ruler of a country, but the Eight Treasures Navy was the official pirate force of the Kingdom of Flowers.

Lord Xiaolong believed that if he really treated the navy as fools and said that he and the pirates were irreconcilable, not to mention whether the former admiral "Xianshi" who was famous as a "wise general" would believe it, the Lieutenant General Ron in front of him would not be so easy to deal with.

Therefore, the King of Xiaolong simply made a grand gesture and welcomed them with state ceremony to show how seriously he took the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After a series of cumbersome formalities, Ron followed Xiaolong to the palace.

The Kingdom of Flowers has the atmosphere of the Braid Dynasty. The carved beams and painted buildings everywhere are unique in the world of One Piece, making Ron feel very familiar. For this reason, he couldn't help but take a few more glances, showing appreciation from time to time.

King Xiaolong noticed this attitude and felt relieved.

The person in front of you is the notorious "Seven Warlords of the Sea Killer"!
The purpose of Sengoku sending Ron here was undoubtedly to demonstrate and tell them that the Navy values ​​the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but also has the ability to destroy the Kingdom of Flowers.

For this reason, King Xiaolong has been worried that Ron would take advantage of his power to bully others.

Considering the hot tempers of the eight people in the palace, they might even start a fight!

However, Ron's normal behavior at this moment gave King Xiaolong some peace of mind.

"Lieutenant General Ron, please!"

In front of the main hall door, King Xiaolong raised his hand slightly and invited Ron to come in.

Ron, who was immersed in the familiar architectural style around him, was suddenly awakened and raised his eyebrows.

Yes……

This is not Earth after all, and the king of a country doing it personally is really in line with the king setting in the One Piece world... I'm talking about you, Riku Dold III, who is taking the lead in plowing the fields!
Putting aside the random thoughts in his mind, Ron followed Lord Xiaolong into the main hall. As soon as he entered the door, eight pairs of eyes fell on him.

The auras of these eight people are all strong, and quite a few of them possess the domineering aura. A faint sense of oppression envelopes them, and the invisible air gradually solidifies.

Ron understood in his heart, it was better to be surprised...they were the pillars of the Eight Treasures Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers.

It’s not the Eight Treasures Navy, but the Eight Treasures Navy.

The Kingdom of Flowers has a total of eight official pirate groups, from the Ippo Navy to the Hachipo Navy.

Each pirate group has about a thousand people, and is almost a pirate team built with the efforts of the whole country. They plunder, fight, and protect the country, and are the most important part of the Flower Kingdom.

It can be said that the entire country of Flower Kingdom was raised by pirates, but on the surface they maintain their status as a member country of the World Government to avoid being wiped out by the navy.

Ron expressed his understanding that the barren land and sad environment gave birth to this deformed structure.

Human beings will do anything to survive.

"Lieutenant General Ron, this way please..."

King Xiaolong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and led the way, cursing in his heart.

He is not a fool. Ba Dongliang's undisguised domineering aura is undoubtedly intended to intimidate Ron and tell the navy that they are not easy to mess with.

If Ron had a bad attitude, it would be understandable to do this, but now Ron has a good attitude... isn't he deliberately trying to cause trouble?

However, he underestimated Ron. Having witnessed the domineering aura of Rayleigh and Shanks, these sparse and mottled domineering auras were not as threatening as a seastone in Ron's eyes.

A barking dog will make people angry, but a snarling ant will just make people ignore it...

With a calm and domineering look, Ron came to sit on the right side of the main seat. He raised his head and slowly scanned the area.

The people he stared at suddenly felt a surge of death in their hearts, as if they saw the scene of their own death, and the domineering aura in the void suddenly became chaotic!

Ron found it a little funny. He couldn't stand just a look or a hint of murderous intent... Is he worthy of being called "the king's qualification"?
"Immortal Vice Admiral Ron, his reputation is well-deserved!"

A middle-aged man with a braid tied behind his head and dressed like a Qing Dynasty warrior admired inwardly and was the first to put away his domineering aura.

When the others noticed this, they quickly followed suit and sat down in their seats obediently.

"Ahem, there is nothing else I am calling you all here for today."

Seeing that the situation had eased, the Lord of Xiaolong State quickly said, "Lieutenant General Luo En has come from afar, and as the host, we will welcome him... We can discuss anything tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the eight naval pillars, some strong and some weak, immediately clasped their hands together and bowed to the King of Xiaolong while sitting in their seats.

The banquet began. With the king's order, the eight pillars of official power naturally did not dare to act rashly.

Several of the pillars were supportive of Lao Cai becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and they took the initiative to chat with Ron, which heated up the atmosphere. After a few drinks, both sides began to ask each other questions, and Ron took this opportunity to understand some of the situations of the Eight Treasures' navy.

As mentioned before, the eight treasure navy are all pirate forces officially formed by the Kingdom of Flowers, but the eight pirate groups have their own duties. In addition to the shared looting missions to maintain domestic expenses, each navy has different responsibilities.

The Ippo Navy to the Sanpo Navy are an important part of the Flower Kingdom's defense force, and they rarely go too far from the Flower Kingdom whenever they go out to sea.

After all, the countries surrounding the Flower Kingdom are not friendly to the Flower Kingdom. If the enemy seizes the opportunity and takes advantage of it, it will be too late to return for help.

The Sibao Navy to the Liubao Navy were mainly responsible for looting throughout the West Sea. The remaining Qibao Navy and Babao Navy were free men and most of the time served as mercenaries fighting outside. During the period of Commander Qingjiao, they even traveled to the Grand Line and had the strongest combat effectiveness.

Wu Jixiang...the eleventh-generation pillar of the Sanbao Navy said so after drinking.

"The overall strength of the Seven Treasures and Eight Treasures is the strongest, but if we talk about who is the strongest among us, it must be Huo Haidongliang of the Second Treasure Navy!"

He was not impressed with the naming ability of the people of Flower Country. After hearing what he said, Ron turned his gaze to the first middle-aged man with braids on his left.

The latter felt Ron's gaze and raised his glass to signal from a distance.

After finishing his drink, Ron said calmly, "I heard that the twelfth generation pillar of the Eight Treasures Navy, Qing Jiao, has not officially passed the position of pillar to Lao Cai. Why didn't he show up today?"

It’s true that Lao Cai is the designated pillar of the 13th generation, but Qingjiao will only pass the position to him after he officially becomes one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and sits in the Kingdom of Flowers as a liaison with the government.

The pillars of the current Babao navy are still young soldiers, but among those present is only Lao Cai.

"Uh...this..."

Ron's voice was not loud, but everyone's attention was on him today. Even if he yawned lightly, others would study it carefully to make sure it was not a signal.

Now that they heard him ask this, the banquet suddenly became quiet.

Wu Jixiang was speechless and his expression froze.

Taking in the expressions of the group of people, Ron curled his lips into a cold smile.

"You want the benefits, but you don't want to lose face... There's no such good thing in the world, right?"

"Or does the Flower Kingdom think that the navy is weak and can be bullied, and doesn't take us seriously?!"

Boom!
Without any movement, the low table in front of Ron sank and broke, spilling the wine all over the floor.

The faces of Dongliang and King Xiaolong present immediately turned ugly, and some of them even showed signs of taking action.

The navy is really going too far by publicly falling out with them at a banquet!
Ignoring the angry or surprised expressions around him, Ron played with the wine glass in his hand, ignoring their anger.

There is nothing wrong with what he did, and it makes sense even in the Warring States Period.

The biggest unknown factor in this mission is Qingjiao, who has a long-standing grudge against the Navy, and the Navy needs Qingjiao to express his stance.

Moreover, Ron was very annoyed with the latter's behavior of taking out his anger on Luffy when he couldn't beat Garp.

It's not that he believes in not letting his family suffer any harm, but Ron feels sickened by the latter's cowardly behavior of diverting hatred when he doesn't dare to take action against Garp!

If he dared to kill Luffy in front of Garp, or even just killed a few ordinary soldiers and fought Garp head-on, even if he was defeated and died, Ron would still praise him as a real man.

But he didn't dare...

Ron would not let such a shameless old man go on purpose.

The King of Xiaolong might have not allowed Qingjiao to attend the banquet because he was concerned about the hatred between Qingjiao and the navy, but as a navy, what he wants is the attitude of the entire Flower Kingdom!

Green peppers are no exception!
In the past, the Navy would definitely not be so strong when inviting the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but things are different now!
As the atmosphere became increasingly tense, the second naval pillar named Huo Hai and the King of Xiaolong looked at each other and were about to speak.

At this time, Lao Cai, the 13th generation pillar of the Babao Navy, who had been playing the role of a spectator, suddenly took the lead.

"My grandfather went to Capon Island for a mission a few days ago, so he can't be here today."
