Chapter 78, Seven Warlords of the Sea, Green Pepper?
In the bedroom, Green Pepper slowly woke up.
After staring at the ceiling for a while, he raised his hand to touch his forehead.
The sight of that firm, upright tree, which had been separated from him for twenty years, brought tears to the eyes of the green pepper.
They're back...they're all back!!
My invincible cone, my fearless belief, my countless treasures!
……
Qingjiao turned to look at Huo Qiushan by the bedside, as well as her grandsons Cai Yi and Bu Wu, and said earnestly:
"I owe that person a huge debt of gratitude, and I must thank him properly. Please invite him here for me."
……
……
Huo Qiushan pondered for a moment, then sighed and stepped forward.
"Old Qing... don't get agitated about what I'm about to say."
Green Pepper scoffed, "We've known each other for so many years. Your granddaughter was even engaged to my grandson when they were children. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
"I remained calm and composed; even with a tsunami raging, I didn't panic!"
"Just say what's on your mind, don't be so coy like an old woman!"
……
Huo Qiushan remained silent precisely because he knew what kind of person you were...
He presented the document and reassured him, "As the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new, old Qing... stay calm."
"Tch! I think you really should retire, mother-in-law... mother-in-law... mother-in-law..."
Green Pepper's lips trembled, and she kept repeating the same tone.
……
"Aa ...
The green pepper performance was so captivating that it lingered all day long.
The sorrow contained in the voice was enough to break the heart of the listener and bring tears to their eyes.
"Damn it!!! 80% likely!!!!"
"How could this beast even say such a thing?! How am I supposed to face the former pillars of the Eight Treasures Navy after I die?!"
"Let him come! Let him kill me!!!!"
"I have no money!! I'll give you my life!! I'll even be your slave!!!"
……
……
……
After a long time, Green Pepper got tired of shouting, hugged the big red floral quilt, and covered her face with tears.
She cried like a poor, eight-thousand-kilogram child.
"My money...that's all my money..."
"Absolutely not! Even if he calls Garp, I absolutely will not give it to him!!!"
Huo Qiushan waited until Qingjiao's sobs subsided and his breathing stabilized before stepping forward and gently patting his back.
He said softly.
"Treasure is inanimate, but people are alive. Try to think more positively, old man."
"You are the one who has honed the Eight-Strike Fist to its strongest level among all the pillars of the nation. If the previous generations knew that those treasures could be exchanged for your resurgence, they would be happy too."
……
"What do I care about those dead men... this is all my treasure!"
Green Pepper wiped his face and said seriously, "Big Mountain, let's load the treasure onto the ship and set sail tonight!"
"Now that I've regained my awl-like tip, I can open the jade iceberg!"
Huo Qiushan shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense. Can we really abandon our hometown for those things?"
……
"Then tear up the treaty! Let's go side by side and beat that brat so badly he'll never dare mention it again!"
Green Pepper's eyes hardened, and she gritted her teeth: "A simple thank you would be enough. At worst, I'll make my two grandsons follow him!"
"Who comes up demanding someone else's property right away!"
……
Huo Qiushan looked at him calmly, and after a while, Qingjiao's momentum weakened.
"Yeah... even I lost, what's the point of having him together? That guy has Conqueror's Haki..."
Thinking about this, Green Pepper was even more confused: "He's a Marine! What Marine with Conqueror's Haki would care so much about money!"
"If he loves money so much, why doesn't he become a pirate?!"
"He even said I wasn't worthy of Conqueror's Haki... This guy doesn't have the mindset for Conqueror's Haki at all!"
……
"But he does have it."
"Moreover... he possesses such power at such a young age; he could very well become an admiral in the Navy's highest combat force headquarters in the future!"
"The reality is... we can't refuse the demands he makes."
……
……
Green Pepper's eyes have lost their color, making him look even more forlorn than when he had a flat head.
Before, at least the money was still there even though the safe couldn't be opened. Now that it can be opened, however…
"You've calmed down now."
Huo Qiushan gently patted Qingjiao's back and said slowly, "Brigadier General Allen also told me something else."
"What else does he want?!"
Green Pepper finally accepted the reality that the treasure had been reduced by 80%. He vowed that if that guy made any more unreasonable demands, he would fight to the death!
Huo Qiushan shook his head: "He's not asking us for it, he's giving us something, or more precisely... an opportunity for us to make a comeback."
……
"Old Qing, you still have the ambition to roam the seas, don't you... Shichibukai, are you interested?"

"So... the green pepper with the cone-shaped tip is back to its original form...?"
Naval Headquarters, in the Marshal's office.
The Den Den Mushi on the desktop is wearing a chibi-style snow wolf hat, and its pure white body is adorned with bright red stripes, making it look very unique and gorgeous.
It was Allen on the other end of the phone.
After making a profit from the green peppers, Allen suddenly had a whimsical idea: what if the green peppers could be like the blackboard in the branch office, constantly generating income for him?
My thoughts wandered, and I thought of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system.
Currently, there are only six confirmed Shichibukai (Warlords of the Sea).
Empress Hancock is under investigation because of something that happened six months ago. Allen doesn't know how that girl passed the investigation and is still in this position.
Does being beautiful really guarantee forgiveness? Is the World Government really that corrupt?
……
The other five are—
Hawkeye – Jorah Mihawk.
Crocodile - Crocodile.
Heavenly Demon - Donquixote Doflamingo.
Gecko Moria, and Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea who just joined.
-
A regular commodore is not qualified to propose candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Allen was certainly no ordinary brigadier general; he had Sengoku's private Den Den Mushi number and often had to cooperate with Sengoku on propaganda work.
Sengoku lightly tapped the table and said in a deep voice, "We're considering Hanafuda (flower cards). That guy was originally an important member of the Beasts Pirates, but it seems he chose to leave in order to collect Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits."
Flower Notes...
One of the original three great beasts, he fought alongside Kaido for many years and was known in the New World as the fearsome "King of Lizards".
His hobby is collecting Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits. For this, he entrusted his children to Kaido and left Wano Country to wander alone.
He has recently come to the attention of the World Government, which intends to recruit him as the seventh Shichibukai.
……
"It's hard to say whether green peppers or Hanafudas are stronger, but the power of the Eight Treasures Navy is definitely much stronger than that of the lone Hanafudas."
"Besides, compared to the lunatics from that crazy group, I think the Happo Navy is much more controllable. What we need are the Seven Warlords of the Sea who are willing to obey the Navy's call-up, isn't that right?"
"Your position determines your perspective," Allen called the pirate crew he longed to join as a boy a group of lunatics.
If he had successfully set sail back then and survived until Wano Country, he would probably be calling Kaido "boss" by now.
It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.
……
"Hmm, I'll consider your suggestion. Green Pepper is indeed a suitable candidate. I'll wait until I've met Hua..."
……
kabeng-kabeng-
As everyone knows, Garp might be seen eating senbei in the Fleet Admiral's office at any time.
"Hahaha! What else is there to think about? Let's just go for green peppers!!"
Garp grinned and raised his fist: "I still remember that old bastard's cone-shaped head; it was pretty good!"
Zhan Guo glanced at him helplessly, pondered for a moment, and then replied.
"We can prioritize green peppers; you can handle the negotiations there, Brigadier General Allen."
"besides……"
Sengoku's serious expression changed, and he smiled: "To actually defeat Green Pepper, that's truly remarkable!"
"You've grown up, Allen!"
……
……
"It's none of your business, don't steal Professor Zephyr's lines."
Allen didn't appreciate it and hung up the phone.
The marshal's office was filled with cheerful laughter again.
