Chapter 15 My Name
Shichibukai are the seven great pirates who are recognized by the world government as a privateer.
As long as you can sit in this position, you can enjoy the privileges and conveniences given by the world government.
For example, legitimate looting will no longer be wanted by the Navy and other privileges...
That is to say, once you become Qiwuhai, you don't need to worry about the entanglement and threats from the navy, you will naturally become more free in your actions, and at the same time, you will be able to reduce a lot of worries.
But on the contrary, Qiwuhai must accept the forced summons of the world government, and pay a part of the proceeds to the government, including private plundering.
This is an obligation that should be fulfilled after obtaining the privilege.
Therefore, Shichibukai is considered by common pirates to be the lackeys of the world government.
But in fact, it is not easy to become Qiwuhai. Only those who are well-known or powerful enough to deter ordinary pirates are eligible to be selected as Qiwuhai.
Take Fire Fist Ace, who has become famous in recent years, for example. Before joining the Whitebeard Pirates, he was once invited by the World Government to join the King's Seven Wuhai.
And many privileges of Qiwuhai can indeed make efficient use of Hunter Notes.
For example, given a condition that the navy cannot refuse, and then put forward a request to advance the city prison to execute some prisoners who do not have the ability of devil fruit as Shichibukai.
Perhaps, the navy will agree to it, and even give information on the prisoner.
And most of the prisoners in the push city prison had to endure torture every day, and the prisoners who could survive would definitely not be too weak, and they were quite suitable prey.
Another example is the premise of hunting pirates, and asking the Navy for intelligence support, presumably the Navy will happily agree.
After all, from the standpoint of the Navy, they are most happy to see pirates kill each other.
These are some of the potential benefits that the position of Qiwuhai may bring.
Before posing this question to Lafayette, Maud also thought about the position of Shichibukai.
However, the reason why Maud wanted to sit on the position of Qiwuhai was to meet the battle two years later as Qiwuhai.
For him, it was an opportunity not to be missed!
Moreover, if you participate as Qiwuhai, you can work without any effort, so you don't have to face the pressure of war head-on, and at the same time, you can frantically harvest experience in the chaos.
But these are all assumptions.
Something that can be found just by thinking about it with one's head naturally seems very simple.
What is really difficult to do is the process of leading to the position of Qiwuhai.
"Seven Wuhai..."
Maud looked at Lafayette and said calmly:
"Unless the world government sets up an additional position, otherwise, if you want to sit on the position of Qiwuhai, you need not only reputation and strength, but also one of the Qiwuhai must be pulled down first."
"It's natural."
Lafayette had an excited smile on his face.
Maud pushed the handle of the chidori up with his thumb, and then released it again, allowing the handle of the chidori to fall back.
With the sound of falling together, Mo De said: "Each of the Qiwuhai that can be recognized by the government is not a generalist. It is hard to imagine how difficult it is to pull one of them down."
"Hoho, because of this, it has the value to seek for it."
The excitement on Lafayette's face became more and more obvious, and he said, "But no matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to pave the way for you!"
"I believe in your abilities."
Mo De nodded solemnly and said, "However, there is no need to rush this matter, you can plan slowly. For now, the primary purpose is to strengthen your own strength."
If the strength is not enough,
Any idea in the end will only become a fantasy.
This is a very real problem.
"Yes, but reputation is also more important."
Lafayette's eyes flickered, trying to calm down his excitement, and pointed out: "Until the foundation is solid, you can't miss any opportunity to increase your reputation."
Maud glanced out the window when he heard the words, and said calmly: "You mean the destruction of the Evil Dragon Pirates?"
Raphael nodded and said: "Yes, although the bounty of the leader of the Dragon Pirates is only 20 million, he is also the pirate with the highest bounty in the East China Sea, which is barely a qualified stepping stone."
Maud was silent.
Lafayette could guess the reason for Maud's silent hesitation.
"Maud, there is no need to worry too much about this matter, because it happens to be the quadrennial world conference recently. In order to ensure the safety of the kings of the allied countries who come to the conference, the Navy headquarters must send a large number of troops to perform security duties."
"Oh?"
Maud was a little surprised. In his impression, there was really no such information.
If it is true as Lafayette said, this time is simply the perfect time for pirates to do whatever they want.
Thinking of this, Maud looked at Lafayette, his eyes flashed, and he grinned: "This also means..."
"Yes."
Lafayette understood and nodded tacitly.
Now is the time when the navy has no skills, no matter what he does, he will have a lot less worries than usual.
However, Maud is still quite worried that this kind of thing will spread to Sol Jabba and the others who are nursing in Mommon Island.
But thinking about it now, if Saul was present, he would have conveyed a truth to him on the spot.
That is: one word, dry.
Maud was relieved quickly.
After half an hour.
Maud packed all the Baileys into a huge cloth bag of good quality.
In the process of loading the money, Maud made a rough estimate.
The money in this bag should be between 600 million and 700 million, which is a huge sum of money.
After Maud finished loading the money, Bailey, who was eating non-stop, went to the measuring room and called Lafayette down.
For the past half hour, Lafayette has been surveying the room and browsing the charts.
It is impossible for him to take these charts with him, so he can only try to memorize them in case of emergency.
The money has been packed, and there is no reason to stay.
Maud walked to the window and suddenly kicked the wall beside the window.
"Bang!"
With the loud noise, the entire wall cracked open, and the blocky debris scattered towards the ground.
The money bag is too big, and it is obviously unrealistic to walk through the door, so we can only start from the wall.
The huge movement of kicking off the wall immediately attracted the attention of the villagers.
They came to thank Maud.
In order to wait for Maud to come out, they waited for dozens of minutes on the ground outside.
Hearing the movement at this time, the villagers were startled and looked at the tower-like buildings in the dragon's territory, only to see smoke and dust filling the source of the sound.
Suddenly, the villagers saw Maud and Lafayette jumping out of the smoke.
After a few seconds, loud noises came from the dragon's territory.
After a while, the towering tower-shaped building collapsed into a rubble, and then a large amount of smoke was raised.
Seeing this scene, the villagers realized that the frequent noises just now were Maud and Lafayette demolishing the house.
They looked nervously at the smoke that spread out.
After a while, two figures walked out of the smoke.
Maud walked ahead, Bailey crouched on his shoulders.
Lafayette was carrying a huge, bulging bag, but fortunately he was taller and barely allowed the heavy bag to drag on the ground.
Glancing at the silent villagers, Maud ignored them and walked straight to the shore.
He was about to walk along the coastline until he reached where the little sailboat was moored.
The villagers watched in silence as Maud and Lafayette walked to the shore.
The aura of the demolition team blocked the words of thanks that had reached their throats.
Maud came to the shore as the villagers watched in silence with a hint of fear.
He suddenly stopped, then turned back to look at the villagers.
"Oh, yes, I'm a pirate, my name is... Bacardi Maud."
"If a navy comes to clean up the mess, you can call my name."
After leaving his name, Maud simply left.
The villagers headed by Nami and the others watched the two distant backs in amazement.
"Maud is... a pirate!?"
