Chapter 657 Crane’s plan

Popular recommendation:

“Wake up? So soon? And make trouble when you wake up?”

On the deck, Skyler was a little surprised when he heard the news that Hancock woke up from Nurkic. Hancock’s injury was not particularly serious in her opinion, but he shouldn’t be able to wake up so soon. .

After all, in addition to her injuries, Hancock had another reason, or even the main reason, for her coma, and that was the overloaded body she had borrowed from others.

According to Skyler’s guess, it would take at least a day or two for Hancock to rest well, wash away the fatigue of his body’s overload, and then be able to wake up.

It’s definitely impossible to get rid of the exhaustion in such a fast time, but since she was awake, Skyler thought about it and said, “Then I’ll go take a look.”

After saying that, Skyler walked towards the cabin. Skyler has not been to the medical department for a while. After all, she has hardly participated in the battle recently and has no chance of being injured.

And as long as there is no demand, who would think about running to places like the medical department or the hospital? However, Skyler had been to the medical department too many times before, so even if she hadn’t come for two years, she still found Hancock’s ward with ease.

At this time, Hancock was curled up on the hospital bed, with his bandaged hands tightly clutching his collar… the collar of his hospital suit, looking at Florence and the others insecurely. Medic in the Medical Department.

Florence was a little confused at this time, but wearing a mask didn’t show it very well, and the other medics were even more at a loss, wondering why Hancock woke up and attacked them.

Skyler raised his hand and said, “Let’s all go out.”

Skyler probably already understood what was going on. It was probably the mark of the Sky Serpent’s hoof on Hancock’s back. Hancock was very concerned about that mark, because it was a symbol of his once serving as a slave.

Even the warriors of Amazon Lily, most of them don’t know that their Lady Snake has such a brand on the back, even if they do know occasionally, they will be excused by lies such as curses and asked to keep it secret.

That is the most vulnerable place in Hancock’s heart, but her inner vulnerability may not even attract attention to others, but Hancock will not be so open-minded.

Seeing that Florence was about to leave with the medical soldiers, Hancock was obviously anxious and wanted to keep them, but her body did not support her in these actions at all.

If she still has physical strength, then the attack just now cannot fail. Hancock is weak under Skyler’s hands, but it does not mean that any member of the Zhanye Detachment can deal with it, especially the logistics troops such as medics. .

Hancock wanted to get up again at this time, but her right hand was put on a plaster cast and hung around her neck, and her left hand was clutching her collar tightly. She couldn’t do it with her weak legs alone, so she could only watch. He watched Florence and the others leave.

After the medics left, Skyler closed the door of the ward, walked over to Hancock, hooked a chair with his toes and sat down, and then said, “Is there really no way to remove the imprint of Tianxianglong’s hoof? ?”

Hearing Skyler’s blunt words about her branding on her back, Hancock’s already pale face became even paler, even his lips lost the color of blood, and his hand gripping the collar slipped a little, and then clenched it fiercely again. tight.

Seeing that Hancock didn’t mean to answer, Skyler raised Erlang’s legs, took the hanging bottle of glucose solution on the side, opened the lid and drank it, and then continued:

“Florence is the second best surgeon in the world, she said it herself, and if you want to get rid of that mark, then you can ask her for help.”

“It’s useless.” Hancock said weakly: “I even gouged out a piece of flesh, but after the injury recovered, the brand was still there.”

“I can cook, but I won’t say I’m a chef, I can also do first aid and stitches, but I won’t say I’m a doctor, professional things are left to professional people, you can’t do it, you can only represent you Can’t do it, can’t prove that others can’t do it.”

Skyler smacked the taste of the glucose solution, and then curled his lips in disgust. The drink had a sickly feeling when he drank it, and it was easy to think of some bad pasts. He shook his head, and Skyler continued. said:

“That brand is only in the present and the past. It will be something you are concerned about. As I told you in the morning, when the Tianlong people are gone, is the brand of Tianxianglong’s hoof still useful?

Either let the doctor wipe the brand off of you, or wipe the hoof of Tian Xianglong from this world, you see, you have two solutions now, what are you still worried about? ”

Although a “cooperation” has been reached, Hancock still doesn’t like what Skyler said. Everything he said, repeating the brand that has been branded on his body for 20 years, will be removed because of her light words.

But the words uttered in a fluttering tone are not something that can be done by raising a hand. Over the years, it is not that Hancock has not tried treatment in the past, but no medicine has worked.

The latter one is even more outrageous. The Tianlong people disappear, and the influence of Tianxianglong’s hoof also disappears. It sounds beautiful, but… the revolutionary army has been developing for 20 years without success.

Although the revolutionary army has liberated many kingdoms over the years, those kingdoms are all on land and islands, and the most important thing in this world is the sea.

The right to speak in most of the seas is still in the hands of the World Government at this time. If the World Government is not destroyed, it is impossible for the Tianlong people to die. Therefore, in order to achieve the result that Skyler said, the World Government must be captured first.

Such a major event, if it is only driven by the removal of the influence of the brand, what a ridiculous thing.

Seeing that Hancock was still silent, Skyler stood up and said: “You still have enough time to think, but I don’t want you to make trouble again, that brand is a nightmare for you.

But in my case, it is no different from other scars. As a patient, don’t be afraid of treating diseases. This is my advice to you and a request for you.

By the way, since you are awake now, after regaining your mobility for a while, remember to appease your citizens. ”

Hancock nodded slightly, not knowing which thing she was agreeing with, Skyler ignored it and left the ward directly.

Skyler, who left the ward, saw Florence waiting in the corridor outside the door. Skyler nodded to Florence and said, “She is a little sensitive to her scars.”

Although it was a sentence with no beginning and no end, Florence still understood, nodded, and said, “Scars? I thought it was tattoos? I was thinking about such a good girl and got tattoos all over her back.

But the shape of the scar… a bit unique, it seems to be a bit of an impression. ”

“Well, from Mary Joa’s side, I performed a scar removal operation on a person with the same scar. The operation was successful, and the patient passed away peacefully.”

Skyler didn’t care whether he was telling a **** joke or not. Florence understood and didn’t laugh out loud. It seemed that her moral level was much higher than Skyler’s.

Florence showed a thoughtful look, then nodded and said, “Then let me talk to her. The scars are all hopeful to get rid of. I heard Sabo say that he is much better now with burns.”

Skyler had no surprise or doubt about what Florence said about contacting Sabo, but nodded and said, “Well, pay attention to the way you communicate.”

After a brief explanation, Skyler returned to the deck to rest, and Nurkic did not do a debriefing report, because even if the report was made, no one would review it.

It’s better to stay at night for this kind of unhurried work. After all, when people are middle-aged, they have to give themselves some opportunities to work overtime.

The reason why no one has reviewed it is also very simple, that is, the World Conference. The World Conference will officially open tomorrow, but basically all the participants should be here today.

Not only the invited allied countries have arrived at the red soil continent at this time, but even the navy, it is time to set off.

In fact, the Navy should have set out earlier, but because of the Hancock incident, Sakaski delayed for some time, because he was very confident that Skyler could solve it in a few hours.

And Skyler once again proved her theorem that never disappoints, the Navy headquarters, after handing over the work, Sakaski glanced at his office.

After confirming that the windows were closed, the electrical appliances were turned off, and the documents were filed, he breathed a sigh of relief, then lightly touched the fake flower brooch on his chest, straightened his hat, straightened his collar, and then out of the office.

He locked the office door, and then passed through the corridor. He saw Crane, Kisaragi, Fujitora, Green Bull and others below. After nodding at them, he also walked towards the corridor.

This is not the first time that Sakaski has participated in the World Conference, but he has never been so nervous. After all, he has participated in the World Conference as an Admiral in the past, but this time, he participated as an Admiral.

This means that he can no longer only act with his own justice, and everything he thinks and does needs to be considered for the entire navy, especially some time ago, he and Skyler did not hide the world government and the entire navy. big thing.

That incident ruined all the merits accumulated by the Navy in the past four years, including the top war that the former Marshal Warring States worked so hard to plan, all became useless.

But there is also good news, that is, Skyler’s control of CP has ensured that the Navy will not be stabbed by CP at this world conference.

Of course, Sakaski is also looking forward to the solution that Skyler said will come soon. Even if Skyler is reliable, when he thinks of going to Mary Joa, he will be scolded by Yin and Yang and even scolded in person. Kei was on fire without a name.

Thinking about what kind of hardships he and others would suffer when they arrived at Marijoya, Sakaski walked downstairs with a heavy footstep, and when he walked out of the main gate, he glanced at Kizaru and the others.

Thinking of these colleagues and seniors who are also high-ranking navy, because of their own will, they have to accompany him to suffer this grievance, most of the anger in Sakaski’s heart dissipated.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the resentment in his heart, Sakaski walked out of the headquarters building with an unseen smile, then nodded to the crane and the three generals, and asked, “Are you all ready?”

“Well, the old body is all arranged.”

Crane noticed the abnormality of Sakaski just before pushing the door. At this time, he tried his best to show a smile, and the three generals also nodded.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether the three generals nod or not. As the only veteran of the three generals, the yellow monkey has never seen a task hanging on him. Even if there is a task, he will deal with it as soon as possible without leaving any residue.

Green Bull is a newbie in the navy. One year is not enough for him to learn the procedures in the navy and to be familiar with the various businesses of the navy. Naturally, he has no tasks.

Among the three generals, Fujitora is the most reliable, not only as a person, but also in the years of Zhanye Detachment, which also made Fujitora understand the navy’s work process and coverage.

However, he has not been in the navy for a long time, and he has been busy with the abolition of the Qiwuhai system recently, and Sakaski has not let him take over other tasks.

Therefore, the three of them could go to Marijoya to attend the World Conference at any time, and they nodded their heads only in agreement.

Seeing that several people were ready, Sakaski also nodded and said, “Then let’s go now, lest we be stuck and can’t even attend the dinner party.”

After Sakaski finished speaking, both Fujitora and Green Bull nodded, but Crane and Kizaru were stunned for a while. The two were very familiar with Sakaski, so they heard it… Sakaski was actually there. joke!

This is an amazing thing. This admiral who doesn’t accept others’ jokes, he doesn’t agree with him, will one day make jokes himself. It’s just… not funny enough.

But after being stunned for a second, Crane and Kizaru still smiled, not because of the joke itself, nor to save face for Sakaski.

But it’s enough to make up for the fact that Sakaski is joking, enough to make up for his joke.

However, Sakaski also seemed to realize that the joke he made seemed to be a little off, so he didn’t mean to turn over the burden, and just walked out towards the port.

The warships at the port have been prepared and can set sail at any time. He also arranged for some relevant materials to be transported to the warships in advance.

Although all the achievements of the Navy in the past four years have been lost because of Skyler’s beheading of the Heavenly Dragon Man, Charles Rose, what should be fought for is still to be fought for.

Not to seek forgiveness from the Tianlong people or the Five Old Stars, but to show the value of the existence of the navy to the allied countries. Today’s world government still values ​​the allied countries of the world government.

After all, there are less than 100 member states that have not been overthrown by the revolutionary army, and only 50 are able to attend the World Conference at this time.

Others were either caught up in civil war, or were overthrown by the revolutionary army between the time of receipt of the invitation and the start of the World Conference.

There are only fifty countries left to participate in the World Conference, which is a very sad thing. Unfortunately, the World Government seems to want to struggle a bit, and even calls these fifty countries the representative countries of the World Conference.

And of the remaining fifty countries, many of them are extremely wealthy, such as Alabasta, Dressrosa, the Dragon Palace Kingdom, and the Lilliputian Kingdom that has just joined the World Government for a few years.

The treasuries of these countries are very likely to help the world government to survive the most difficult years in the next few years. If these countries refuse to increase investment, then the world government may be really cold.

The previous attitude of the World Government towards the Dragon Palace Kingdom also proved that the World Government cherishes the remaining allied countries, so if they can impress the remaining allied countries, they may be able to exchange some good bargaining chips for the navy.

If more than half of these fifty countries speak out for the Navy, then the World Government will not make a decision easily. Perhaps it cannot be ruled out that the World Government will settle accounts after the fall, but at least it can buy a lot of time for the Navy.

Although Sakaski said that Skyler had a solution, Yi He did not dare to fully trust the two people’s understanding all along.

Crane told Sakaski or Sengoku more than once that Skyler was a trustworthy man and Skyler was a man who never disappointed.

However, He also knows that Skyler is not a person who can be measured by ordinary people’s thinking. Her solution may really solve the problem, but it may also create a bigger problem.

For example, this time, how to make the Five Old Stars no longer pursue the actions of the Navy? If you change to an ordinary person, you will definitely get the forgiveness of the five old stars, whether it is emotional or rational.

But what about Skyler’s behavioral patterns? Crane couldn’t fully simulate her escaping thinking, but he could guess some things, such as… killing Wu Laoxing, Wu Laoxing would not be able to investigate what the Navy did.

For another example, let the navy declare independence and no longer belong to the world government, then the five old stars have no right to pursue it. Or… Or simply put the world government in a pot.

This is what Crane can think of after trying to fit Skyler’s thinking. With Skyler’s strength, he might be able to do it, and with her character, he might be so crazy.

But Skyler’s possibility of doing so does not mean that He can rest assured. Before things really evolve out of control, He, as a naval staff officer, still needs to consider the stability of the navy and the world.

This is also the reason why before Sengoku retired, I begged Crane not to retire, because the navy run by Sakaski and Skyler is really… predictably outrageous.

Facts have also proved that the concerns of the Warring States period before retiring are not unreasonable. Even when the crane was still serving as a major staff officer, the two men secretly smashed the big event of beheading the Tianlong people.

If there were no cranes to help deal with the follow-up, it is estimated that the navy could not wait for a temporary reconciliation with the world government at this time, but left the world government early, and even declared war with the world government and the Tianlong people.

With their personalities, they might even shout slogans such as “The navy is the navy of the sea, not the navy of the world government.”

The strength of these two people and their ability to do things are combined, and the crane feels that it is possible to succeed in whatever they do, but the price of success is difficult to control.

Therefore, Crane’s current positioning of himself is to slow down Sakaski and Skyler’s progress, not to slow them down, but to slow them down and have time to see more things clearly.

It may make the two succeed later, but it can pay less.

For example, in this world conference, Crane actually had his own idea, that is, since the world government no longer trusts the navy, then the navy can also not serve the world government.

Instead, it skips the “intermediary” of the world government, and directly shows the value of the navy to the participating countries of the world government, and these countries directly inject funds and support.

Of course, this matter cannot be carried out on the bright side, but needs to be disguised. While mobilizing the ideas of the allied countries, the Five Old Stars and other officials of the World Government will not feel abnormal.

Crane’s plan is to “show the value of the navy, win the support of the allied countries, and return the trust of the world government” as a guise, and use the world conference to talk about the navy’s past achievements in a “dying struggle” style.

The core of this is to show the value of the navy to the allied countries, and then let the allied countries realize that they cannot lose the navy, so that whether the allied countries choose to speak for the navy or contact the navy in private, the navy can benefit.

He didn’t tell Sakaski about these things, so He knew that Sakaski couldn’t hide things, even on the day Skyler killed the Tianlong people. It is tight-lipped, but there are many exceptions.

It’s just that the time was too tight, and Sakaski controlled all the generals in the conference room, so they couldn’t leave to investigate the reason behind it.

But facing the Five Old Stars and the World Government is not enough, because they view Sakaski with the eyes of scrutiny and accountability. Any abnormality in him will attract the attention of the World Government.

In this case, Crane only dared to be confident in himself, and there might be a Kiwi, but with the non-stick properties that Kiwi has shown in the past, it is estimated that it will not be mixed in.

The group did not communicate at all, and boarded the warship. After the warship left the port, it headed towards the Red Port of the Red Earth Continent. Crane left the deck under the pretext of reviewing the information.

Sakaski did not become suspicious, but was discussing with Fujitora the proposal to abolish the Shichibukai system under the king, and Green Bull was boring.

After taking a lap on the deck, Kizaru stepped into the cabin with extremely loose footsteps. No one felt that Kizaru was abnormal. After all…he should be such a lazy person.

However, Huang Yuan did not return to the cabin assigned to him, but came to the data room where the crane was located. Looking at the crane who frowned and looked at the information and kept thinking, and did not even notice his own arrival, Huang Yuan said with a smile:

“Lieutenant General Crane~”

He was startled by the sudden sound, then raised his head, looked at Kizaru, tried his best to remain calm, and asked with a smile, “Polusalino? Is there something wrong?”

Kizaru nodded, and after approaching the crane, he asked, “Lieutenant General Crane~ I wonder if you are interested in… cooperation with the Revolutionary Army~”

“!?”
