The Beautiful Swordsman Came with a Barbecue - Chapter 578 King Riku's Worries

Hearing Skyler's confident words as always, Drago 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 a splendid one.

"Skyler, when the day I've been looking forward to comes, it must be very exciting, right?"

But Drago asked uncertainly, he needs to have some extra confidence, and the only person he knows who can give him this kind of power is... this little sister.

"Dorag, it's impossible for us to fight to the death for 20 years, just for the sake of chicken feathers. 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 having to meet after death."

Baldigo, Drago looked at the phone bug, the Skyler Grey-style ending and reverberation echoed in his mind, his face was helpless and happy, in the end, he just clenched his fist, restrained his movements, and waved it in the air. a bit.

Dressrosa, Skyler cleaned up his mood and walked out of the studio. Outside the studio, Rosannadi also took back his ability with a gentle smile.

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

"Well, let them come over."

Skyler nodded, and Rosannadi also took out his phone bug, leading the way for Skyler while contacting Nurkic.

When Skyler arrived at Dressrosa Palace, and before he saw King Liku, he sensed that Nurkic was coming with others, but Skyler did not insist on sharing the banquet in the hall.

After all, she didn't hate King Riku, so there was no need to embarrass him, and she was a little curious about why King Riku was looking for her.

After all, the only reason Skyler could think of that King Liku was looking for her was for the shipyard in Totland, or the surrounding things related to it.

I can't... King Liku asked her about 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 most prosperous member states now, and King Liku had already made preliminary preparations when he invited Skyler.

It was not the first day that King Liku met 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 this time I can invite Skyler to a banquet without smashing the wall, which is somewhat unexpected by King Liku. Of course, this is a good thing. After all, who doesn't want to break up the house and play?

The Dressrosa royal family is obviously very serious about this banquet. It is not yet time for the banquet, but all kinds of drinks and snacks have been prepared, and there are many waiters passing through.

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

After taking a sip, it felt like a mixture of juice, Skyler raised his eyebrows, looked at Rossindi and Nurkic, and asked, "What is this called?"

"San Francisco, sir."

Rosannadi, who was more familiar with Dressrosa, said the name of the cocktail earlier, Skyler nodded, and said to Nurkic: "Leon learn, and you learn. "

"Yes, sir."

Nurkic nodded, which is not surprising. After all, Leon's recipes are always evolving. Skyler tastes some good food, and Leon will be included in the recipe.

Of course, there are also some Skylers who like it, but did not include it in the recipe, because there are many ingredients that are difficult to circulate, such as the water and meat in the Seven Waters.

Water meat is just like its name, extremely tender, but as long as it is meat, it is difficult to transport long distances, and meat, once frozen and then thawed, will lose a lot of water, and it is difficult for merchant ships Guaranteed 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 add ice cubes for freezing, when re-freezing, the water in the cells will freeze and pierce 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 and meat outside the Seven Waters, unless... those who have the ability to freeze can carry out special transportation, such as Kuzan.

And the cocktails are different, especially the cup in the hands of the elders. The new base of Zhanye Detachment will not be too far from Dressrosa. Even if there are some special fruits, they can be delivered with little or no damage.

"Lieutenant General Skyler!"

Just as Skyler was tasting the food and drinks prepared by the Dressrosa royal family, King Liku III, who was dressed in full clothes, also arrived with a reluctant Violet on his face.

Violet is obviously not disgusting Skyler, but actively or passively resisting meeting the mysterious person. After all, she has a feeling that today she will learn the identity of the mysterious person.

About this... Violet's mood is very complicated. She wants to get to know the mysterious person, but she doesn't want to know him through someone else's introduction.

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

"It's been a long time."

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

"Lieutenant General Schuyler, please, prepare in a hurry, the reception is not good, please also invite Haihan."

Skyler did not return such polite remarks. After all, in her opinion, saying such remarks was embarrassing herself, not embarrassing others, she was more willing to embarrass others.

And obviously no one dared to accuse her of being rude, and King Liku just pretended not to realize it, and brought Skyler, as well as Rosannadi 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. Even Luo didn't dare to say anything about the Zhanye Detachment, the Night Emperor's troops, and Skyler himself, let alone. others too.

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

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

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

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

Skyler nodded, without asking about the other members of King Liku's family, then glanced at Rosannadi and Nurkic, and said:

"Nurkic, the other one, Ronandi, knows better than King Liku than me."

"I dare not forget the help of Colonel Rossindi to Dressrosa. Colonel Nurkic, this is the first official meeting."

King Liku said with a smile, while Violet was looking at Rosannadi. She thought the name was a bit familiar, but she forgot where she heard it.

Several people chatted in the inner court for a long time. King Liku, as King Dressrosa, expressed all the courtesy and courtesy, and then looked at Violet and said:

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

"what?"

Violet, who had been staring at Roxandi, suddenly shuddered, then looked at King Riku in confusion, and then looked at the waiter beside him, but King Riku gave her a look and a nod.

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

King Liku smiled as he watched the back of his young daughter leave. At least this daughter would not want to leave him. Then he looked at the waiter beside him, raised his hand, and said:

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

The waiters took their orders to leave, and King Riku immediately looked at Skyler with a smile, and his eyes kept glancing at Rossindi and Nurkic.

Skyler understood what King Liku meant. Obviously he wanted to talk about something inconvenient to make public, but as we all know, Skyler Grey is a person who trusts his subordinates. Therefore, Skyler said directly:

"King Liku III, if you have anything to say directly, I completely trust my two adjutants, even if it's the matter on Totland's side."

When King Liku heard Skyler mention Totland, he took a breath and looked nervously at Nurkic and Rosandi, but there was no surprise on their faces.

Even in their eyes, there was some sudden and thoughtfulness. Obviously, the two of them knew what Totland stood for. King Liku thought about it and closed his robes.

He still doesn't like this kind of dress, if it's not for courtesy, he prefers to wear armor, especially the Spartan style, even if a **** wearing a Spartan style armor kidnapped his eldest daughter !

King Riku took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then said, "Lieutenant General Skyler, you are also aware that the Kingdom of Don Tata has now become a member of the World Government and is qualified to participate in the World Conference."

"Um?"

Skyler nodded. She knew all this, but she didn't understand why King Riku wanted to reveal it. King Riku didn't make Skyler wait for a long time, and continued:

"You haven't been in contact with the Dontata family, and maybe you don't know them well. They have an admirable quality, that is, they never lie and are easily deceived by lies.

So... the shipyard thing, I didn't tell them all, they just knew they needed to plant trees, but the purpose 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."

Skyler continued to nod, and King Liku had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "But over the past few years, the Dontata family have planted a considerable number of trees in the Totland Sea.

With the order volume of the shipyard, these tree pig dog shipyards will take ten years or more, but you also know that we do 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'm worried that next year's World Conference, when King Gancho of the Dontata Kingdom went to attend the World Conference, accidentally revealed this news, which would arouse the suspicion of the World Government. "

Hearing Library King III spared a lot of time, just to say this, Skyler frowned and said, "I don't like to worry about something that might not happen.

And, what if the shipyard built more ships? Will the world government dislike too much Bailey in the treasury? Don't gold merchants stock up?

A shipyard is essentially a commercial society. Is there a problem with stockpiling some commodities during the off-season? After all, the boat is not a seasonal commodity, and it will go bad after a few days. "

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

As the king of the allied countries, he has a lot of contacts with the people in the world government. King Liku knows that the world government is a group of people, and they are all people who have to find some excuses even if they are unprovoked.

Especially ships are not simple money, or something precious like gold, but cannot directly make an impact.

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

And if the world government finds out that the Kingdom of Dressrosa, the Kingdom of Dontata, and the King of the New World, Katakuri, have stockpiled a large number of ships, what will they think?

If an explanation is unclear, it may be directly labelled as endangering the world government. Then, it is estimated that all the investment of Dressrosa in the past few years will be wasted, and even the nationals of Dressrosa will be lost. , and the Dong Tata clan.

"That said, if the Five Old Stars ask about the motive, how should we answer it?"

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

"Totland?"

King Riku's tone was not certain, even though it was a fact that the shipyard was in Totland. Skyler nodded and said, "Isn't that enough? When the Five Old Stars asked, he just said he didn't know, and let Katakuri explain."

"This this..."

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

After all, according to Katakuri's character, Katakuri is in charge of the itinerary of Dressrosa and Don 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 harass Katakuri like this during the World Conference, what would he do when he returned?

Unless... before the World Conference next year, the Navy has already established a new naval branch base, which will be escorted by the Navy, but in this case, at most, the World Conference will be delayed.

After all, the shipyard will continue to develop, so the Dontata clan will still be stationed in Totland, and it cannot even be said that they are stationed. After all, Katakuri has generously divided several islands for the Dontata clan.

The Dong Tata clan almost moved to the territory of Totland. If Katakuri wanted to attack, and threatened the Dong Tata clan, or directly threatened the shipyard, King Liku had to go to meet Kataku. Chestnut arrangement.

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

Therefore, it is definitely an unreliable thing to push the pot on Katakuri. In fact, it is not only King Liku who thinks so.

When King Liku saw Rosannadi and Nurkic beside Skyler, there were strange expressions on their faces, but there was obviously no supportive expressions on their faces.

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

Of course, Skyler could not dare to pit Katakuri just because he was not afraid. There is another reason, that is, Katakuri is asking Skyler for now.

Especially Nurkic, he knows that the two souls suspected of Katakuri are in Skyler's hands. If Katakuri still wants his mother, he will not offend Skyler. .

Regardless of whether the two of them have made an agreement before, as long as they are smarter, they will lower their posture 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 hardship and grievances, and it is a pity not to pit 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 could he dare to participate in the resurrection of the emperor of the old era?

And even if he knew, he probably wouldn't be relieved, because he came from a certain angle, the same as Katakuri. Katakuri has a group of younger brothers and sisters who are not strong enough to protect themselves.

In addition to his own family, King Riku also had the entire Dressrosa Kingdom, and the entire Dontata clan bound to him, so he had more to think about than Katakuri.

If it wasn't for Skyler's protection back then, plus the semi-compulsive cooperation invitation from Katakuri and Drago, I'm afraid King Riku would not even dare to participate in the construction of the shipyard.

Rossindi and Nurkic are also smart people who can 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 still asked Skyler for instructions with his eyes. After Skyler nodded in agreement, Nurkic said to King Liku: "King Liku III, in fact, if you want to eliminate the risk of this matter, there are An easier way."

Hearing Nurkic say this, King Liku finally got some energy, looked at Nurkic, and hurriedly asked, "Colonel Nurkic, can you talk about it?"

"You're welcome, in fact, the solution is very simple, that is, let the shipyard and the Navy sign a large enough order, and extend the delivery date to five or even ten years.

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

King Liku's eyes lit up, and Nurkic's plan looked much more reliable than Skyler's plan that just dumped the blame on Katakuri, the king of the sea.

And the current navy has enough 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 Warring States Marshal or the future Marshal Sakaski, who will take the risk to sign this order that may never be delivered? "

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

And Sengoku and Akainu have no motive to cooperate, let alone the navy can't afford such a sum of money.

Skyler also understood Nurkic's plan and King Liku's worries at this time, he waved his hand and said, "I will settle the order, as for the money...

Isn't that why the order is not disclosed? Because the navy can't afford the money, so the navy will not be able to purchase it until after the World Conference, when the world government allocates more military spending to the navy.

And the shipyard's early production is a recognition of the navy and the credibility of the world government. Isn't this very good? "

Hearing this, King Liku kept nodding his head, and then said, "Then this matter is up to you, Lieutenant General Skyler, although it is not my will to involve the navy.

However, Lieutenant General Skyler also asks for your understanding. After all, the future and even the survival of the Kingdom of Dressrosa, as well as the Kingdom of Dontata, depend on this matter. "

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

Skyler is still so relaxed, which makes it hard for people to think that 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 way.

After the business was settled, King Liku did not leave a few people to continue the conversation. After all, although the purpose of this banquet was to have a meeting with Skyler, but... after all, the banquet has already been held.

So the banquet went on, and when the banquet ended, Skyler took the Zhanye detachment and the other three detachments, and started a journey called cruise, which was actually a stepping stone.

Half a month later, when Skyler returned to the headquarters, he was just about to talk to Warring States, to see if he could trick him and confirm the order before he left office, at least to unify the caliber of the Navy's willingness.

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 coming? So soon?"
