Chapter 658 Crane's Plan

"Wake up? So fast? And make trouble as soon as you wake up?"

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

After all, apart from Hancock's injuries, there is another reason, or even the main reason, for her coma, which is that she borrowed too much strength from others, causing her body to overload.

According to Schuyler's guess, it would take at least a day or two for Hancock to rest well, wash away the exhaustion from his body, and then wake up.

Such a quick time would definitely not be able to eliminate the fatigue on her body. However, since she was already awake, Skyler thought about it and said, "Then let me go and have a look."

After all, Skyler walked towards the cabin. Skyler hadn't been to the medical department for a while. After all, she hardly participated in battles recently, and there was no chance of getting injured.

And as long as there is no need, who would want to go to a medical department or a hospital? But Skyler had been to the medical department too many times before, so even though she hadn't been here for two years, she still found Hancock's ward with ease.

At this time, Hancock was curled up on the hospital bed, his bandaged hands were tightly clutching his collar. The collar of the hospital gown looked at Florence and several other medical staff without any sense of security. medical soldiers.

Florence was a little puzzled at this moment, but wearing a mask didn't show it very well. The other medical soldiers were even more at a loss. They didn't know why Hancock attacked them when he woke up.

Skyler raised his hand and said, "Let's all go out."

Skyler probably already understood what was going on, probably because of the brand of the Skylark's hoof on Hancock's back. Hancock cared about that brand very much, because it was a symbol of his past as a slave.

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

That was the most vulnerable part of Hancock's heart, but her inner fragility might not even attract attention from others, but Hancock would 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 to make these actions at all.

If she still has physical strength, it is impossible for the attack just now to be ineffective. Hancock is weak under Skyler's hands, but it doesn't mean that any member of the Ye Zhan Detachment can deal with it, especially if it is a logistical unit like the medical soldier. .

Hancock wanted to get up again at this time, but her right hand was put in a plaster cast and hung around her neck, and her left hand was tightly clutching her collar. It was impossible to do it with weak legs alone, so she could only watch He watched Florence and the others leave.

After the medical soldiers left, Skyler closed the door of the ward, walked up to Hancock, hooked a chair with his toes and sat down, and then said: "Is there really no way to remove the brand of the Tianxiang dragon's hoof? ?”

Hearing Skyler bluntly mention the brand on her back, Hancock's already pale face became even paler, even his lips lost their color, and the hand holding the collar slipped a little, and then he squeezed hard again. tight.

Seeing that Hancock didn't intend to answer, Skyler raised his legs, took the glucose solution bottle that was put aside, opened the cap and drank it, and then continued:

"Florence is the second best surgeon in the world. This is what she said. If you want to get rid of the brand, then you can seek her help."

"It's useless." Hancock said in a weak voice: "I even gouged out a piece of flesh, but after the injury recovered, the brand still existed."

"I can cook, but I will not say that I am a chef. I can also first aid and suture, but I will not say that I am a doctor. Professional things are left to professional people. You can't do it, you can only represent you. If you can’t do it, you can’t prove that others can’t do it.”

Skyler smacked the taste of the glucose solution, then curled his lips in distaste. The drink tasted sick, and it was easy to remind people of some bad past. Shaking his head, Skyler continued said:

"That brand is just something you worry about now and in the past. As I told you this morning, when the Tianlong people are gone, is the brand of Tianxiang Dragon's Hoof still useful?

Either let the doctor erase the brand from you, or erase the hoof of the Tianxiang dragon from this world, you see, you have two solutions now, what are you still worried about? "

Although the "cooperation" has been reached, Hancock still doesn't like what Skyler said, and all the words he said, repeating the brand that has been branded on him for twenty years, will be erased just because of her flirtatious words.

But the words spoken in a light tone are not something that can be done with a raised hand. Over the years, Hancock has tried to treat him, but no medicine has worked.

The latter one is even more outrageous. With the disappearance of the Tianlong people, the influence of the Tianxiang Dragon's Hoof will also disappear. It sounds beautiful, but the revolutionary army has not succeeded in developing for 20 years.

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

The right to speak in most of the sea areas is still in the hands of the world government at this time. If the world government is not destroyed, the Tianlong people cannot die. Therefore, if you want to achieve the result that Schuyler said, you must first capture the world government.

Such a big event, if it is only driven by the influence of removing the brand, how ridiculous it is.

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 for me, it is no different from other scars. As a patient, don't shy away from medical treatment. This is my advice and request to you.

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

Hancock nodded slightly, not knowing what she was agreeing with, Skyler didn't care, and left the ward directly.

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

Although it was a sentence without beginning or end, Florence still understood, nodded, and said, "Scar? I thought it was a tattoo? I still think of such a good girl, and she has tattoos all over her back.

But the shape of the scar is a bit unique, it seems to be a bit impressive. "

"Well, Mary Gioia's. Back then, I performed scar removal surgery on a person with the same scar. The operation was successful, and the patient passed away peacefully."

Skyler didn't care if what she said was a hell joke, Florence understood it and didn't laugh out loud, it seems that her moral level is still much higher than Skyler's.

Florence showed a thoughtful expression, then nodded, and said, "Then let me talk to her, the scars are hopeful to get rid of. I heard from Sabo that his burns are much better now."

Skyler had no surprises or doubts about Florence saying that he was in touch with Sabo. He just 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 make a report on his work, because even if he made a report now, no one reviewed it.

It's better to stay at night and work for this kind of non-urgent work. After all, when you reach middle age, you have to give yourself some opportunities to work overtime.

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

Not only the invited joining countries have arrived in the Red Earth Continent at this time, but even the navy is time to set off.

In fact, the navy should have set off earlier, but because of the Hancock matter, Sakalski delayed for some time, because he was very confident that Skyler could solve it within a few hours.

And Skyler once again proved her theorem that she will never disappoint. In the Navy Headquarters, Sakaski, who had handed over the work, glanced at his office.

After making sure that the windows are closed tightly, the electrical appliances are turned off, and the information is filed, I breathe a sigh of relief, then lightly touched the fake flower brooch on my chest, straightened my hat, straightened my collar, and then out of the office.

Lock the office door, then pass through the corridor, see the crane, yellow monkey, Fujitora, green cow and others below, nod at them, and then walk towards the corridor.

This is not the first time that Sakalski 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 of the navy.

This means that he can no longer only act in his own justice, and all his thoughts and actions need to be considered for 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 over CP has ensured that the Navy will not be stabbed by CP at this world conference.

Of course, Sakalski is also looking forward to the early arrival of the solution Skyler said, even if Skyler is reliable, but thinking of going to Marie Gioia, he will be eccentric or even scolded in person, Sarkas Kei got angry for no reason.

Thinking about what kind of trouble he and others would encounter when they arrived at Marie Gioia, Sakaski walked downstairs with heavy steps, and when he walked out of the main gate, he glanced at the yellow monkeys and the others.

The anger in Sakaski's heart dissipated when he thought that these colleagues and seniors who were also high-ranking officers in the navy had to accompany him to suffer this grievance because of his insistence on going his own way.

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

"Well, I have made arrangements."

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

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the three generals nod or not. As the only veteran Huang Yuan among the three generals, he has never seen any missions on him, and even if there are missions, he will deal with them as soon as possible without leaving any sequelae.

Green Bull is even a newcomer to the navy. One year is not enough for him to learn the procedures in the navy and familiarize himself with the various businesses of the navy. Naturally, he has no tasks on him.

Among the three generals, Fujitora is the most reliable, not only as a human being, but during those years in the Zanya detachment, Fujitora also made Fujitora understand the navy's handling procedures and business coverage.

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

Therefore, these three people can go to Marie Gioia to participate in the World Conference at any time, and their nods are only in agreement.

Seeing that several people were ready, Sakaski nodded and said, "Then let's set off now, lest we get stuck so that we can't even attend the dinner."

After Sakaski finished speaking, Fujitora and Green Bull nodded, but Crane and Yellow Monkey were stunned for a moment. The two knew Sakaski very well, so they could tell that Sakaski was joking!

This is a remarkable thing. The Admiral of the Navy, who would not agree with other people's jokes, will actually make jokes himself one day, but it's not enough.

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

It's that the fact that Sakalski can joke is enough, and it's enough to make up for his lack of jokes.

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

The warship at the port has been prepared and can set sail at any time. Crane also arranged for people to carry some relevant information to the warship in advance.

Although all the achievements of the navy in the past four years are not counted because of Schuyler's beheading of the Celestial Dragon King Charles Rose, but what should be fought for must still be fought for.

Not to seek forgiveness from the Tianlong people or the five old stars, but to let those joining countries see the value of the existence of the navy. Today's world government still values ​​the joining countries of the world government.

After all, there are less than 100 franchise countries that have not been overthrown by the revolutionary army, and only 50 countries that can attend the World Conference at this time.

The others were either caught in civil wars, or were simply overthrown by the revolutionary army between the time the invitation was received and the start of the World Conference.

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

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

The treasuries of these countries are very likely to help the world government survive the most difficult years to come. If these countries refuse to increase investment, then the world government may really suffer.

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

If more than half of the 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 later, but at least it can buy a lot of time for the navy.

Although Sakaski said that Skyler had a solution, Yihe didn't dare to fully trust the two people he had known all along.

Crane told Sakaski or Sengoku more than once that Skyler is a trustworthy person, and Skyler is a person who never disappoints.

However, Crane 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 can the five old stars no longer pursue what the navy has done? If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely be forgiven by the five old stars, whether it was moved with emotion or reason.

But what about Skyler's behavioral patterns? He couldn't completely imitate her out-of-the-box thinking, but he could guess some. For example, if Wulaoxing was killed, Wulaoxing 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 simply put the world government in one pot.

These are some of the problem-solving ideas that Crane can think of after trying to fit Skyler's thinking. With Skyler's strength, maybe she can really do it, and with her personality, maybe she will really be so crazy.

However, the possibility of Schuyler doing this does not mean that He can rest assured. Before things really get 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 I implore Crane not to retire before the Warring States period, because the navy run by Sakaski and Skyler is really predictable and outrageous.

And the facts also proved that Warring States' worries before retiring were not unreasonable. Even when Crane was still serving as the chief staff officer, these two men secretly took care of such a big event as beheading the Tianlongren.

If there is no crane to help deal with the follow-up, it is estimated that the navy will not be able to wait for the temporary reconciliation with the world government at this time, but will leave the world government early, and even declare war with the world government and the Tianlong people.

With the personalities of these two people, maybe they will shout slogans such as "the navy is the navy of the sea, not the navy of the world government".

The two people's strength and ability to make things come together, and they feel that they may succeed in whatever they do, but the price of success is difficult to control.

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

It may make these two people succeed later, but they can pay less.

For example, at this world conference, Crane actually had his own thoughts in his mind, that is, since the world government no longer trusts the navy, the navy may not serve the world government.

Instead, the "intermediary" of the world government is skipped, and the value of the navy is directly shown to the world government member countries, and these member countries directly inject funds to support it.

Of course, this matter cannot be done on the bright side, but it needs to be disguised. While mobilizing the ideas of the franchise countries, the Five Old Stars and other officials of the world government will not feel abnormal.

Crane's plan is to use the guise of "showing the value of the navy, gaining the support of allied countries, and gaining the trust of the world government" to talk about the past achievements of the navy in a "dying struggle" style through the world conference.

And its core is to demonstrate the value of the navy to the joining countries, and then let the joining countries realize that they cannot lose the navy. In this way, no matter whether the joining countries choose to speak out for the navy or contact the navy in private, the navy can benefit.

Crane didn't tell Sakaski about these things, so Crane knew that Sakaski couldn't hide things. Even on the day Skyler killed the Tianlongren, although Sakaski kept his mouth shut, he still had many things. exception.

It's just that the time was too tight at that time, and Sakaski was able to control all the generals in the conference room, preventing them from leaving to investigate the reasons behind it.

But facing the five old stars and the world government is not good, because they look at Sakaski with the eyes of scrutiny and accountability. Any abnormalities in him will attract the attention of the world government.

In this situation, Crane only dared to have confidence in himself, and there might be a yellow ape, but with the non-stick properties that the yellow ape has shown in the past, it is estimated that it will not be involved.

A group of people boarded the warship without any communication. After the warship left the port, it sailed towards the Red Port of the Red Earth Continent. Crane excused himself to check the information and left the deck.

Sakaski didn't become suspicious, but was arguing with Fujitora about the proposal to abolish the Shichibukai system under the king, and the green cow finished arranging flowers boringly.

After strolling around the deck, Huang Yuan stepped into the cabin very loosely. No one felt that Huang Yuan was unusual. After all, he should be such a lazy person.

But Huang Yuan did not return to the cabin assigned to him, but came to the reference room where Crane was. Looking at Crane, who was frowning and thinking about the data, without even noticing his own arrival, Huang Yuan said with a smile:

"Lieutenant General Crane~"

The sudden sound made Crane jump, then raised his head, looked at the yellow ape, tried to keep calm, and asked with a smile: "Porusalino? What's the matter?"

Huang Yuan nodded, approached Crane, and asked, "Lieutenant General Crane~I don't know if you are interested in cooperating with the Revolutionary Army~"

"!?"
