Chapter 579 King Liku's Worries

Hearing Skyler's confident words as always, Dorag also smiled, yes, what's the point of just being alive? No matter how you live, your lifespan is limited.

And being able to create infinite splendor in a limited life is a skill, and fighting for the oppressed people in the whole world must be considered wonderful.

"Schuyler, when the day I'm looking forward to comes, it must be very exciting, right?"

But Drago still asked with some uncertainty, he needs to have some extra self-confidence, and the only person he knows who can give him this kind of strength is... this sister.

"Dorag, we can't fight to the death for 20 years, just for a chicken feather, that day will be wonderful."

"Haha~ If I can't wait for that day, then you must firmly remember every detail, and I will wait for you to describe it for me."

"Sorry, I don't want to die when I think of meeting after death."

Baltigo, Dorag looked at the phone bug, and the Skyler Grey-style ending was still echoing in his mind. His face was helpless and happy. In the end, he just clenched his fist, restrained his movements, and waved it empty-handed. one time.

Dressrosa, Skyler tidied up his mood and walked out of the studio. Outside the studio, Rossinanti also withdrew his ability with a gentle smile.

"Sir, shall we go to Dressrosa Palace now?"

"Well, tell them to come over."

Skyler nodded, and Rosinendi also took out his phone bug, and while leading the way for Skyler, he contacted Nurkic.

When Schuyler arrived at the Dressrosa Palace, before seeing King Liku, he sensed that Nurkic had arrived with other people, but Schuyler did not insist on having a banquet together.

After all, she doesn't hate King Liku, so there's no need to embarrass him, and she's a little curious about why King Liku is looking for her.

After all, the only reason Skyler could think of for King Liku to find her was for the shipyard in Totland, or related peripheral matters.

I can't. King Liku asked her about the national policy, right?

It was said to be a dinner party, but it actually started in the afternoon. Dressrosa can be said to be one of the wealthiest franchise countries now, and King Liku had already made preliminary preparations for inviting Skyler before.

In particular, it was not the first day for King Liku to know Skyler. The previous world conferences made him understand what a banquet should be like for Skyler.

In fact, he had already made preparations for Skyler to bring all the navies who came to Dressrosa to attend the banquet, and even prepared the craftsmen to smash the wall at any time, but before Skyler agreed, he was not so eager .

It's just that he was able to invite Skyler to a banquet this time without smashing the wall, which was a bit beyond King Liku's expectations. Of course, this is a good thing.

The Dressrosa royal family is obviously very serious about this banquet. It's not yet dinner time, but all kinds of drinks and snacks have been served, and there are many waiters passing by.

Skyler took a cocktail from a waiter, and her superhuman sense of smell allowed her to accurately determine that it was a non-alcoholic cocktail.

After taking a sip, it felt like mixed fruit juice. Skyler raised his eyebrows, looked at Rossinandi and Nurkic, and asked, "What's this called?"

"San Francisco, sir."

Rossindi, who is more familiar with Dressrosa, said the name of the cocktail earlier, Skyler nodded and said to Nurkic: "Let Leon learn, and you learn too. "

"Yes, sir."

Nurkic nodded, not surprised. After all, Leon's recipes are constantly evolving. Skyler tasted some good food, and Leon would also be included in the recipes.

Of course, there are also some Skyler likes, but they are not included in the recipe, because there are many ingredients that are difficult to circulate, such as the water meat in the capital of seven waters.

Shui Shui Meat is just like its name, it is extremely tender, but as long as it is meat, it is difficult to transport it for a long distance, and once meat is frozen and then thawed, it will lose a lot of water, and it is difficult for merchant ships to transport it. Guaranteed ultra-long-term low-temperature preservation.

Once thawed, not only will it lose water, but it will also deteriorate over time. Even if there is a transfer station to replenish ice cubes for freezing, then when it is re-frozen, the water in the cells will freeze and puncture the cell membrane, resulting in a great loss of taste. .

Therefore, before solving the problem of cold chain transportation, it is extremely difficult to eat high-quality water meat in places other than the capital of seven waters, unless someone with the ability to freeze makes a special trip, such as Kuzan .

But the cocktails are different, especially the cup in the hands of the head of the family. By then, the new base of the Zhanye Detachment will not be too far away from Dressrosa. Even if there are some special fruits, they can be delivered with low damage or even no damage.

"Lieutenant General Skyler!"

While Skyler was tasting the food and drinks prepared by the Dressrosa royal family, King Liku III, who had changed into a costume, also arrived with Violet, who had a somewhat reluctant face.

Violet obviously didn't dislike Skyler, but actively or passively resisted meeting the mysterious man. After all, she had a feeling that she would learn the identity of the mysterious man today.

Regarding this point, Violet has very complicated feelings. She wants to get to know the mysterious person, but she doesn't want to get to know him through someone's introduction.

Skyler didn't even notice her, just nodded to King Riku and said, "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time."

King Liku nodded. The last time the two met was the World Conference three years ago, and the World Conference can only be called a meeting. He stretched out his hand and said in the direction of the inner court:

"Lieutenant General Skyler, please, hastily prepared, and the reception is not good, please also invite Haihan."

Skyler did not reply to such polite words. After all, in her opinion, such words are embarrassing for herself, not for others. She is more willing to embarrass others.

And obviously no one dared to accuse her of being rude, King Liku just pretended not to realize it, and brought Skyler, Rosinandi and Nurkic beside her into the inner court.

As for the others, even Ace and the others, they were very sensible at this time and did not follow them. Even Luo, he didn't dare to say that he understood the affairs of the Zhanye Detachment, the Night Emperor's troop, and Skyler himself, let alone Others are gone.

The inner courtyard is much smaller than the banquet hall just now, but the richness of food and drinks is not diminished, which makes Skyler very satisfied. When he came to a table, Skyler did not wait for the waiter to pull away the chair, and it was very natural. Pull up a chair and sit down.

This made the waiter a little embarrassed and panicked, but King Liku obviously understood Skyler's behavior very well, so he just nodded at the waiter and didn't say anything.

Afterwards, King Liku looked at Violet and said, "Lieutenant General Skyler, I haven't introduced you yet, this is my daughter Ovillet, Ovillet"

Ovillet stood up, saluted very politely, and then said: "Lieutenant General Skyler."

Skyler nodded and did not ask about the other members of King Liku's family, then glanced at Rossindi and Nurkic, and said:

"Nurkic, the other one, Rosindi, knows better than King Liku than I do."

"I dare not forget Colonel Rosindi's help to Dressrosa. Colonel Nurkic, this is the first official meeting."

King Liku said with a smile, while Violet looked at Rossindi at this moment. She thought the name sounded familiar, but forgot where she heard it.

Several people chatted in the inner court for a long time. King Liku, as King Dressrosa, expressed all the etiquette and politeness that should be given, and then looked at Violet and said:

"Violet, why don't you go and see how the chefs are preparing?"

"ah?"

Violet, who had been staring at Rossindi, suddenly shivered, then looked at King Liku in puzzlement, and then looked at the waiter beside him, but King Liku gave her a look and a nod.

As a daughter, Violet understood her father's subtext, she was a little reluctant, but she nodded helplessly, got up and left.

King Liku looked at the back of his little daughter leaving with a smile, at least this daughter would not want to leave him, then he looked at the waiter at the side, raised his hand, and said:

"You all go down and prepare, you don't need to stay here."

The waiters took the order to leave, and King Liku immediately looked at Skyler with a smile on his face, and his eyes kept glancing at Rosinandi and Nurkic.

Skyler understands what King Liku means, obviously he wants to talk about some things that are not convenient to make public, but as we all know, she, Skyler Gray, is a person who trusts her subordinates, so Skyler said directly:

"King Liku III, if you have anything to say, I completely trust my two adjutants, even if it's about Totland."

When King Liku heard Skyler mentioning Totland, he took a deep breath and looked nervously at Nurkic and Rosindi, but they didn't show the slightest surprise on their faces.

Even in the eyes, there was some suddenness and thoughtfulness. Obviously, these two people knew what Totland represented. King Liku thought for a while, and gathered his finely dressed robes.

He still doesn't like to dress like this. If it's not for etiquette, he prefers to wear armor, especially the Spartan style, even if a bastard wearing a Spartan armor abducts his eldest daughter !

King Liku took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then said: "Lieutenant General Skyler, you also know that the Kingdom of Dong Tata has now become a member country of the World Government and has the qualifications to participate in the World Conference."

"Um?"

Skyler nodded. She knew all of this, but she didn't understand why King Liku would reveal it. King Liku didn't keep Skyler waiting, and continued:

"You have never had contact with the Dong Tata family, and you may not know much about them. They have a very admirable quality, that is, they never lie and are easily deceived by lies.

So about the shipyard, I didn't tell them all about it, they just knew they needed to plant trees, but the use and... something deeper, I didn't tell them. "

"That's good, after all, they're just a part of it, just do what they do."

Schuyler continued to nod, and King Liku had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "But in the past few years, the Dongtata family has planted a considerable number of trees in the sea area of ​​Totland.

Based on the order volume of the shipyard, these tree pig dog shipyards will last ten years or even longer, but you also know that we not only have orders on the surface.

Therefore, the actual number of ships built by the shipyard is much higher than the number of orders, which also leads to the shipyard having to consume more trees.

I am worried that next year's World Conference, or when King Gancho of the Dontata Kingdom went to the World Conference, inadvertently revealed this news, which would arouse the suspicion of the World Government. "

Hearing King Ku III spare a lot of time, just to talk about this matter, Skyler frowned and said: "I don't like to worry about something that may not happen.

And, so what if the shipyards made more ships? Will the world government despise Bailey from the treasury too much? Will gold merchants not stockpile?

The shipyard is essentially a commercial association. Is it a problem to store some goods during the off-season? After all, ships are not seasonal products, and they will break down after a few days. "

Hearing Skyler's tone so relaxed, the worry on King Liku's face not only did not disappear, but even became more serious.

As the king of the allied countries, he had a lot of contacts with people from the World Government. King Liku knew very well what kind of people the World Government was, and they were all people who wanted to find some excuses to intervene even if it was for no reason.

In particular, ships are not simple money, or precious things like gold that cannot directly affect things.

Pirates need ships, the navy needs ships, allied countries need ships, even the revolutionary army is no exception. Ships are an indispensable means of transportation in this sea, and they have considerable strategic significance.

And if the world government finds out that the Kingdom of Dressrosa, the Kingdom of Dontata, and the new world emperor Katakuri have reserved a large number of ships, what will they think?

If one can’t explain it clearly, they may be directly labeled as endangering the world government. Then, at that time, it is estimated that all the investment of Dressrosa in the past few years will be in vain, and even the people of Dressrosa will be affected. , and the Dong Tata family.

"Having said that, if Wu Laoxing asks about the motive, how should we answer it?"

King Liku III asked worriedly, Skyler adjusted his sunglasses and said, "Where is the shipyard?"

"Totland?"

King Liku's tone was not certain, even though it was true that the shipyard was in Totland. Skyler nodded and said, "Isn't that all right? Wu Laoxing asked, just said he didn't know, and asked Katakuri to explain."

"This this."

Hearing Skyler's crude solution, King Liku was a little confused, but after he came back to his senses, he thought it was a bad idea.

After all, according to Katakuri's personality, Katakuri is responsible for the safety of Dressrosa and Dong Tata's world conference next year. Of course, he charges security fees.

In other words, on the way back and forth, they were all on Katakuri's boat. If King Liku dared to cheat Katakuri like this during the World Conference, what would he do when he returned?

Unless the navy has established a new naval branch base before the world conference next year, escorted by the navy, but this will at most delay the world conference.

After all, the shipyard will continue to develop when the time comes, so the Dongtata family will still go to Totland to station, and it can't even be said to be stationed. After all, Katakuri has generously divided several islands to the Dongtata family.

The Dongtata family almost moved to the territory of Totland. If Katakuri intends to make trouble and threatens the Dongtata family or directly uses the shipyard as a threat, King Liku will have to meet Katakuri chestnut arrangement.

Whether the arrangement was angry, resentful, or just painful, he had to live with it.

Therefore, it is definitely unreliable to push the blame on Katakuri. In fact, it is not just King Riku who thinks so.

When King Liku saw Rosinandi and Nurkic beside Skyler, there were weird expressions on his face, but there was obviously no supportive emotion on his face.

It's just that compared to King Liku, Nurkic and Rosindi know why Skyler dared to cheat Katakuri. The simplest reason is that Skyler is completely unrestrained.

Of course, it is impossible for Skyler to dare to cheat Katakuri just because he is not afraid. There is another reason, that is, Katakuri has something to ask of Skyler for now.

Especially Nurkic, does he know that Katakuri's two fucking souls are in the hands of Skyler, if Katakuri still wants his mother, he will not offend Skyler .

Regardless of whether the two had an agreement before, as long as they are smarter people, they will lower their stance a little when they understand that they have something to ask for.

And Katakuri is not only a fairly smart person, but also a "surrogate parent" with a large family. Such a person can endure hardships and endure grievances. It would be a pity not to cheat him.

But King Riku obviously didn't know this. He just participated in the cooperation with Katakuri and the Revolutionary Army, and he was so frightened. How dare he participate in the resurrection of the old emperor?

And even if he knew, he probably wouldn't be relieved, because he was from a certain angle, just like Katakuri. Katakuri had a group of younger brothers and sisters who didn't have enough power to protect themselves.

In addition to his own family, King Liku also has the entire Dressrosa Kingdom and the entire Dontata tribe tied up with him, so he has more things to think about than Katakuri.

If it wasn't for Skyler's guarantee back then, and Katakuri and Drago's semi-forced cooperation invitation, I am afraid that King Liku would not even dare to participate in the construction of the shipyard.

Rossinandi and Nurkic are also smart people who can clearly see the bargaining chips and concerns of all parties, but they will not say it at this time, after all. They don't want to be knifed.

However, Nurkic asked Skyler for instructions with his eyes. After Skyler nodded in agreement, Nurkic said to King Liku: "King Liku III, in fact, this matter wants to eliminate the risk. A simpler approach."

Hearing what Nurkic said, King Liku finally regained his energy, looked at Nurkic, and hurriedly asked, "Colonel Nurkic, can you talk about it?"

"You're welcome, but the solution is actually very simple, that is, let the shipyard sign an order with a large enough amount with the navy, and extend the delivery date to five or even ten years.

Anyway, as long as the limelight is over, no one will remember these things. After all, there are so many seas, who cares where there are more ships? "

King Riku's eyes lit up. Nurkic's plan seemed much more reliable than Skyler's plan to directly blame Katakuri, the king of the sea, just now.

Moreover, the current navy also has sufficient reasons to purchase more ships. However, after a short period of joy, King Liku asked hesitantly:

"But if it takes five or even ten years to complete the order, the amount is bound to be huge, can the navy really sign it directly?

What's more, this is just a pretense, whether it is the Marshal of the Warring States Period or the future Marshal Sakaski, who would take the risk of signing this order that may never be delivered? "

Skyler has a high status in the navy, King Liku understands this, but no matter how high the status is, Skyler is only a lieutenant general and does not have the right to sign such an order.

However, Sengoku and Akainu have no motivation to cooperate, not to mention that the Navy cannot afford such a sum of money.

Skyler also understood Nurkic's plan and King Liku's worries at this time, waved his hand, and said, "I'll take care of the order, as for the money

Isn't that why the order is not disclosed? Because the navy cannot afford the money, the navy cannot afford to purchase until the world government allocates more military expenditures to the navy after the world conference.

And the advance production at the shipyard is a recognition of the credibility of the navy and the world government. Isn't that great? "

Hearing this, King Liku kept nodding, and then said: "Then I'll leave this matter to Lieutenant General Schuyler, although it is not my wish to involve the navy.

But Lieutenant General Skyler, please forgive me. After all, the future and even the survival of the Kingdom of Dressrosa and the Kingdom of Dong Tata depend on this matter. "

"You are too nervous. What you worry about may not happen. Of course, I will eliminate the risk."

Skyler is still so relaxed, it's hard for people to think she is reliable, but King Liku can only choose to trust Skyler now, after all, if he doesn't trust Skyler, he has no other choice.

Now that the matter was settled, King Liku didn't leave a few people behind to continue the conversation. After all, although the purpose of this banquet was to have a meeting with Skyler, after all, the banquet was already done.

So the banquet continued, and when the banquet was over, Skyler took the Zhanye detachment and the other three detachments to start a journey called cruising, but actually stepping on the spot.

Half a month later, when Schuyler returned to the headquarters, he was just about to talk to Sengoku to see if he could cheat him and confirm the order before he resigned, at least to unify the willingness of the Navy.

But as soon as the warship sailed into the Gate of Justice, Skyler saw a huge warship that obviously did not belong to the navy parked in Crescent Harbor.

"The world government is here? So soon?"

I plan to change the title of the book. Although the current title is satisfactory to me personally, it cannot be searched. It is really not conducive to exposure. I hope you understand
