I, Sakazuki, Will Not Take a Dog Easily

405. The beginning of the general trend

Katakuri stared thoughtfully at the burly middle-aged man in front of him. He had been in a high position for many years and he was the leader of the army. Even though most of the man's body was hidden in the dim light of the candle, he looked dignified.

Half of it is light, half is shadow, the candles burning in the house for worship flicker with Katakuri's sudden raising of his hand, just like his state of mind at the moment.

"Please sit down, I don't want to be laughed at that the Charlotte family doesn't know how to treat guests." In the end, Katakuri didn't take the hasty move to drive away the other party immediately, and raised his hand and pointed diagonally at the table and chairs.

The candlelight shone brightly, reflecting on the face of the former leader of the four generals, making it look cloudy and uncertain under the intertwined light and shadow.

"Akainu, you are a busy person who is not suppressing the Four Emperors in the New World, but suddenly visited my site. Didn't you just come here to sarcasm me?"

Although he has been in prison for many years, Katakuri's judgment as an excellent commander has not declined.

He was keenly aware of the change of the navy, as if he wanted to prove something to himself.

"Don't say anything around the corner [this has nothing to do with what the old man wants to do, but depends on you], what is your real purpose?"

Sakaski was not surprised by this, and swallowed back the excuse he was going to say:

"Oh? It looks like you're relying on your knowledge and domineering premonition again, right?"

"I hope the news about you in prison is not blocked, and you are not completely out of touch with the current trends in the world." Sakaski sat down and sat across the table from Katakuri.

His words were a little cloudy, as if he intentionally or unintentionally avoided the core of Katakuri's previous question - [the purpose of coming here].

But in fact, Sakalski has already revealed the message he wants to convey to the other party through a word game.

"Oh, of course, the battle between the Navy Headquarters and the Black Sails Alliance is closely watched even in Imperton." Recalling the information collected before and after his release from prison, Katakuri had a little idea in his mind. Why did Sakaski will show up here.

The former pillar of Totland narrowed his eyes slightly, and the verbal battle with the admiral finally made him regain some of his former meticulous thinking.

Sakaski's rough appearance and hawkish tough style are undoubtedly an excellent cover. In his hands, it seems that everything can be resolved by force and [recklessness].

But Katakuri knew that the guy in front of him was a scheming and experienced man.

Don't look at this military warrior chatting away, constantly going around in circles in the conversation with him, it seems that he has been reluctant to reveal his true intentions.

However, the opponent was using the war that happened not long ago to hint at himself.

The three royal regiments besieged the navy, scaring a group of people headed by the five old stars at the top of the world government. You must know that Marin Fando, where the headquarters of the navy is located, is in the rear of the Holy Land Marie Gioia.

In addition, at the beginning of the battle, the navy was caught off guard and the third line was retreating steadily. No less than 4 outpost camps and main bases were lost.

Seeing the pirate coalition forces approaching the last barrier of the Holy Land - the defense line around the fish-man island with the G1 expeditionary fortress as the hub, Wu Laoxing was really worried that the pirate warlord group, which has been the confidant of the world government for many years, attacked Mary in one go. Joya.

The world conscription, filling up the members of the Seven Wuhai, and the world government almost mobilized most of the resources and manpower, just to keep the New World Pirates out of their homes.

According to Wu Laoxing's understanding of the navy's background, these big pirate groups that dominate one side in the New World, even if the Navy Headquarters goes all out, can still fight against the two four emperors and their forces.

It is almost unheard of for three four emperors to form an alliance to attack and defend.

In this battle, neither the five old stars nor the pirates were optimistic about the navy.

But in Katakuri's view, from the perspective of a leader of the Zeng Four Emperors' forces, they overlooked one of the most critical issues.

The Pirate Alliance seems to be a whole, but in fact, the management is loose and it is difficult to report to the group to cooperate, and to use their strength in one place.

Katakuri, as a big pirate who has dealt with the Four Emperors, is especially aware of this.

There are ghosts in the Black Sail Alliance, and the old and new feuds are still unclear. The three big pirate groups also have their own calculations and interests.

In contrast, although the Navy Headquarters is in a weak position, it is a highly militarized organization with internal members united as one.

The Navy even seized the opportunity to cooperate with the members of the Shichibukai to defeat the Four Emperors one by one, and finally achieved the intention of stopping the Black Sail Alliance's offensive.

[Akainu wants to use this battle to put pressure on me, to convey the meaning of "the king's Shichibukai must be united with the navy"? ] Katakuri thought to himself, what he saw was the contradictions hidden in the world government camp hidden behind this incident.

The eyes of the person with Nuo Nuo fruit ability are hesitant. There is a secret disagreement between the navy and the world government. The reason why Sakaski refuses to say this is because of this consideration.

On the surface, the Navy is still the loyal eagle dog of the World Government, but Katakuri, who was lobbied by the Five Old Stars to become a member of the Shichibukai, understands that the World Government and the Navy Headquarters are completely at odds with each other.

The reason why the Five Old Stars chose Katakuri as the last Qiwuhai is that he has a deep blood feud with the navy and has an irreconcilable conflict. This will help them continue to maintain the balance of the [Three Great Powers].

"You want me to be dispatched by the navy?" the man with short amaranth hair buried half of his face under the turtleneck fleece and asked in a deep voice.

Even as an enemy, Katakuri stands on the opposite side, he has to admit that Sakasky is a worthy opponent.

If he put aside his position, he might have the idea of ​​having a drink with Sakalski.

"The Shichibukai under the king belongs to the world government and is also one of the three major forces. It may not be so easy for the navy to dismantle it in front of the five old stars?" Katakuri said bluntly.

Sakaski grinned when he heard the words, exhaling cigar smoke, and seemed a little disdainful:

"The [Three Great Powers] have long existed in name only, and the [two poles] on the surface are the peaceful scene that Mr. Warring States is trying to create, and it is the reassurance of the big pirates in the New World."

This statement is actually very straightforward. If the flames of war are rekindled and faced with the luxurious camp formed by the Four Emperors, wouldn't the Five Old Stars have to order the members of the Qiwuhai under the king to help the navy?

Counting from the time when the Four Emperors formed the Black Sail Alliance, the blueprints of the three major forces have already disappeared.

It's ridiculous that the five old stars are still trying to follow the old ways and maintain the previous "stability".

"..."

After a moment of silence, Katakuri, who had successfully completed the members of the Shichibukai under the king, slowly tapped his hand on the table: "I think, this [Scene of Peace] is also for your master, the five old stars." Bar?"

The only reason currently preventing the world government from implementing disarmament and restrictions on the navy is the role played by the navy—a solid barrier between the [Black Sail Alliance] and the Holy Land.

"You're very smart." Sakaski said frankly, in a few words, Katakuri actually analyzed the general trend of the navy's planning in a nutshell.

"The reason why you joined Qibuhai is the bond woven by interests. For you, the navy is the accomplice to destroying the country, but the world government is the mastermind behind the scenes."

How could Katakuri not know about this? Immediately, his complexion turned cold and he directly put the core of the conversation on the table: "Or...helping a navy that destroys my country, what good will it do me?"

"It depends on what you want?" Now that it's time to bargain, Sakaski finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least there is still something to talk about, right?

"The accomplice, the mastermind, the head of everyone including you."

Sakaski smiled lightly, and refused straight away: "...you want to fart."

Katakuri took advantage of the situation and made a sign language to chase away the guest: "Okay, let's go, don't see off."

Gudu, gudu, boiling water sounded like boiling water in this drowsy house, and Sakaski's expression was gloomy and terrifying: "Do you know why the Warring States sent me to take care of this matter?"

The sudden rise in the high temperature in the small space caused fine beads of sweat to appear on Katakuri's skin.

"That's because if the negotiation breaks down, the navy can just replace it with an obedient Shichibukai!"

Domineering, fierce, and unreasonable.
