Pirate's Steel Chain Finger

Chapter 97

Few other Shichibukai were arrogant or overpowering when they arrived at Naval Headquarters. Victor is more like an ordinary tourist visiting Naval Headquarters.

“Mr. Victor, are you going to take a special passenger ship directly from the headquarters to the Holy Land Mariejois?” Colonel Valdo, who was accompanying him, asked.

“Am I the last one?” Victor looked around the military port. He was really curious about this well-known location in the One Piece comics.

“No, Boa Hancock, the ‘Emperor Pirate’, and Julokil Mihawk, the ‘Eagle Eye’ have not arrived yet.”

“Forget it, let’s go directly to Mariejois.” Victor has no interest in these two Shichibukai.

“Okay, please wait a moment. I’m going to apply for a special passenger ship.” Colonel Waldo nodded and walked away quickly.

Victor put his hands in Kabuto and wandered around the military port very leisurely.

The naval headquarters of Naval Headquarters is crescent-shaped as a whole. Step into the naval port and then go up. It is conveniently located in front of Anwan Plaza. There used to be a lot of tourists and reporters here, but these days are extremely quiet, and even the Marine family members are banned. Lai An Bay Plaza. At the west end of the square is the famous “Ox Clock”, which is a sacred clock taken from the legendary warship “Ox Rhodes” that was active a long time ago. When the old year ends and the new year begins, the bell will be struck eight times to thank the past year, and eight times to pray for the new year. A total of 16 times, this is the custom of Marine, and it is often mentioned [16 o’clock].

The interior style of Naval Headquarters is similar to the Japanese style in Victor’s dream. Japanese-style furniture such as tatami mats, wooden lattice sliding doors, translucent camphor paper and other Japanese-style furniture composes a concise modeling line and a calm and simple color style, which has a unique charm compared to the southern European style West Blue.

This decoration style looks pretty good. After I went back, I found two rooms on the Ark of Warmth and made this interior style a try to see the effect.

As Victor slowly admired the scenery, a terrifying voice interrupted his thoughts.

“Are you Mafia Victor? You don’t seem to have much abilities.” His voice was strong, with strong doubts.

Victor turned his head and looked, and not far from him stood a tall Captain Marine. He combed back with his silver hair, wearing an open coat with the word ‘justice’ written on the back, and a windproof goggles around his neck. His expression looked quite ferocious, with two cigars in his mouth and a long-handled ten-hand behind his back. Around Marine tremblingly tried to dissuade the man, but he was all blasted away.

“… “White Hunter” Smoker.” Victor raised his eyebrows slightly: “I have heard of your deeds.”

“Should I feel honored to let the noble Shichibukai-sama call out my name?” Smoker slurped a cigar fiercely, and then expelled two thick smoke from his nostrils with disdain.

“I heard that although the’White Hunter’ Smoker was relatively young, he used his strong personal strength to kill the pirates one after another.” Victor put his hands in Kabuto, and said lightly: “People say that your strength and credit have already been achieved. You can be promoted to colonel or even Commodore, but you are willing to stay in the rank of lieutenant colonel. Can you tell me why?”

“[Status] This kind of thing is enough. But a guy like you who has sharpened his head just to drill into Shichibukai’s position will probably not understand this.” Smoker seems to be full of hostility towards Victor. The sentences are thorny in the words.

Victor was not angry, but shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly: “Heh… if you want to carry out your beliefs, [status] is just an indispensable part.”

Smoker found that no matter how he stimulated Victor with his words, the other party would not get angry, let alone become angry and move his hands. In this way, my own ‘righteous counterattack’ plan is not feasible. He gritted his teeth and was about to say something, but was stopped by a stern roar.

“Lieutenant Colonel Smoker! What are you doing!?”

An old man with round glasses and a braided beard strode over. The white cloak behind him was printed with the word “Justice” in blue.

The visitor was one of Marine Admiral, Sengoku, the Buddha named ‘The Resourceful General’.

“Tsk… Sengoku Admiral…” The ‘White Hunter’ Smoker put Kabuto in his hands and wanted to slip away with an unhappy expression on his face. However, Sengoku Admiral grabbed him and slapped his head and face to a reprimand. Smoker was so sprayed that he dared not raise his hand to wipe it, so he nodded to deal with it repeatedly, and then turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared in the direction of the military port leading to the headquarters.

“This is the first time we actually met, Sengoku Admiral.” When Sengoku finished scolding Smoker, Victor took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his hand, smiling gently: “In the previous [Telephone Worm Conference], thanks to you for me. Conduct persuasion work with Mr. Sakazuki, otherwise he will definitely not give me the detailed information of Zhanniandao and others.”

“Thank you, Mr. Victor.” Sengoku still has a good impression of the moderate Shichibukai like Victor and Jinbei. He took Victor’s outstretched hand and shook it vigorously: “I also want to thank you for protecting Qishui. The inhabitants of this city were saved from slaughter by the pirates.”

“As long as they are present, anyone who has [the power] to stop this tragedy will not sit idly by?” Victor’s words seemed to be dripping.

In fact, Victor has always had doubts about Sengoku’s military rank and age at this time. It’s only 8 years since the start of the comics story. Why hasn’t Sengoku been promoted to the position of Marine Marshal? I heard that the current Marine Marshal is still Kong. Take a look at the next three Admiral, now all are Vice Admiral level, at most Admiral alternates. It can only be said that what has happened in the past 8 years is far from that simple.

“Colon Waldo has applied for a special passenger ship for you. If you take this ship, you can travel to the Holy Land Mariejois unimpeded.” Sengoku Admiral said cheerfully: “The ship is in place, ready to…”

“Information! [Seven Warlords of the Sea] Mr. Julokil Mihawk is here!”

The announcer’s voice was spread through the horn throughout the military port. Sengoku and Victor also stopped talking and looked towards the military port terminal.

“That’s the strongest swordsman in the world…” Victor’s eyes lit up, and his tone was no longer indifferent: “‘Hawkeye’ Zhuokiel Mihawk!”

A well-proportioned man is walking towards Victor in a hurry. He wears a black top hat with white fluff, a burgundy patterned shirt, a black sleeveless windbreaker and white trousers, which can be faint through the brim of the hat. He could see that he was covered with short black hair dangling backwards, and he had short beards. Behind him was carrying the well-known “world’s strongest black sword-night”, the hilt of the sword was as exaggerated as a cross. The most striking thing is his eyes, the golden pupils are as sharp as an eagle.

Not long after, Hawkeye approached Sengoku and Victor, and then stood still.

Sengoku Admiral frowned and said, “Hawkeye, did you know that the government almost deprived you of your Shichibukai name!”

“That kind of boring thing is good…” Churokiel Mihawk’s voice is low and full of magnetism, indifferent and indifferent: “I just stopped by and took a look, nothing more.”

After speaking, Hawkeye’s gaze turned to Victor, and Victor could even feel the sharpness of the opponent’s gaze as if a knife was cutting where he could see.

“The rumored man… does have two brushes.” Hawkeye tilted his head slightly, revealing an expression of interest:

“The meeting this time doesn’t seem to be so boring anymore.”
