Chapter 221 Package Plan (Ch 221)

“Gabra?”
Weiwei was a little confused for a moment, but seeing Gao Wen so serious, she instinctively said:
“For the time being, I will be with Ikalem in the surrounding towns, quelling unrest and rescuing local victims.”
“Is that so…”
Gao Wen heaved a sigh of relief.
It seems that the hurdle of Kizaru has been passed. At least in the near future, the navy will not take the initiative to attack Robin.
But if Robin’s identity is discovered by Gabra and others and reported back to the World Government, it will be a big problem.
“Before we leave, don’t let them come back for now, and don’t let them know what happened here.”
Cobra frowned slightly:
“Is there something wrong with the identities of these people?!”
Gao Wen nodded:
“The CP’s agents were originally supposed to be targeting Baroque Works. The sudden arrival of the navy this time should be the intelligence they secretly sent back.”
“There should be no ill will towards Alabasta.”
“But we should not alert the enemy.”
“I see.”
Cobra nodded, knowing what was going on with Gabra and the others, and turned to look at Gawain, seeming to be hesitant to speak for a moment.
“explain.”
Gao Wen said calmly.
Seeing this, Cobra was no longer vague:
“I heard that you were the one behind the East China Sea Martial Arts Tournament that attracted the attention of the entire world some time ago?!”
“You’re waiting for me here.”
A smile appeared on Gawain’s lips.
How could he not see what Cobra was thinking? !
Alabasta is a barren land, and the available arable land cannot even feed its own people.
If you want to improve people’s livelihood, the best choice is naturally to expand outward and seize high-quality land.
But given Cobra’s character, he obviously couldn’t do such a thing, so he could only choose other means.
The economic benefits brought by the martial arts tournament have been verified in Raven Harbor. The apparent profits alone have made Gawain rich.
“Want a piece of the action?”
Cobra said without comment:
“It’s collaboration to be exact.”
“If the Martial Arts Conference wants to expand outward, increase its influence, and even truly reach out to the whole world, it must enter the Grand Line.”
“With your title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and your military strength close to that of an admiral, the pirates and underground forces in the Grand Line Paradise will naturally not dare to touch you.”
“But martial arts tournaments are essentially a talent selection mechanism.”
“It’s fine to just do a small fight in the East China Sea, but once the goal is expanded to the entire world, especially the Grand Route, the number of people involved will increase exponentially.”
“Based on this, you can easily attract a large number of talents. Neither the World Government nor the Navy will allow you to take advantage of this to expand.”
Gao Wen raised his eyebrows.
He had such a plan when he set up the martial arts tournament, but he never found a real foothold. For the time being, he decided to take the elite route which was more flexible, so he never really started it.
Even Cloe didn’t see through this at first, but Cobra saw through Gawain’s plan at a glance.
All we can say is that he is the one who has ruled a country for decades and made the country’s strength flourish. He may not be as wise as Clo, but his vision and perspective are definitely not bad.
“continue.”
Cobra said seriously:
“I can help you fend off this kind of trouble.”
“Of course it is not allowed for pirates to control the talent selection mechanism worldwide, but it is allowed for a member country of the World Government, no, Alabasta, one of the twenty countries that created the world.”
“Although the ancestors of Alabasta did not rule Marijoa, and Nefertari is not a true Celestial Dragon, our status is much higher than that of ordinary countries.”
“We can cooperate on this.”
“Everyone takes what they need.”
Gawain did not respond immediately, but thought of something else.
At this point in time, Vegapunk should have already begun researching Seraph. Once that thing is completed, the ecological niche of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will be completely replaced.
In the original work, what actually made the World Government abolish the Seven Warlords system was never the demands of the member states or the admirals, but the ridiculously powerful Seraphs.
You have to know that thing didn’t suffer any actual damage at all when facing Blackbeard, Straw Hat and others who were already at the level of the Four Emperors at that time.
It’s just outrageous. It’s outrageous to the extreme.
Once they lose the protection of the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea, their ability to make money displayed at the martial arts tournament will undoubtedly make them a hot commodity in everyone’s eyes and they will be attacked by everyone.
Even though his fighting power was already comparable to the Four Emperors at that time, it was still difficult to control him.
But Cobra’s words gave Gawain new ideas.
Let big countries like Alabasta join in, and use their power to cover up the martial arts tournament within the World Government.
If possible in the future, I will bring in a few slightly more normal Celestial Dragons to deal with this.
With the help of the influence of these beings, even if Gawain loses the identity of Shichibukai in the next few years, he can ensure that the martial arts tournament will not be affected.
It is even possible to copy Blackbeard’s actions and directly seek a position as a member of the alliance.
As for if anyone inside stretched his hand too far, someone would crush him to death without Gawain having to do anything.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Gawain must occupy a dominant position.
Gao Wen lowered his eyes to glance at the Guanshi Zhengzong in his hand, and a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The monk can run away but the temple cannot. Killing a few shareholders is certainly much easier than looking for targets all over the world!
…
Seeing Gawain lost in thought, Cobra waved to Weiwei calmly.
The latter understood what he meant and turned away quietly, leaving the space to Gawain and Cobra.
Gao Wen closed his eyes and began to think about who would be more suitable to be responsible for this matter.
First of all, the candidate must be trustworthy and have strong abilities.
The first person who popped up in his mind was Clo, but he suppressed the thought the moment it appeared.
Although Clo is the best choice in terms of both ability and combat power.
But this guy has never been a peaceful person. He can’t hide his bloodthirsty and aggressive nature. After several breakthroughs in his abilities, the first thing he did was to find Gawain to test his sword.
The madness displayed in the previous battle with Ajin in Raven Harbor was so frightening that even Ajin was frightened.
If he were really put in charge of managing the martial arts tournament, he would probably end up going out on the field and starting killing people indiscriminately.
The other candidate, Gaza, is undoubtedly credible, but his ability is a little lacking. He is OK for defending the East China Sea, but he is not good enough for expanding the Grand Route. So, there is only…
Gawain looked at Robin lying on the bed.
It’s a delight.
Robin is the one with the darkest past, the deepest thoughts, and the most knowledge among the Straw Hat Pirates in the original work. Her abilities are undoubtedly very strong.
If she could really take this opportunity to clear her name and become the princess of Alabasta, then taking over the martial arts tournament later would be even more legitimate.
But the premise of all this is that she must be cleared of suspicion.
It would be best if she could fake her own death and get away with it, making her completely dead in the eyes of the World Government!
Gao Wen had a rough plan in mind:
“It’s not impossible for Alabasta to come in and get a piece of the action.”
“But before that, I have a condition. Robin must truly become the princess of Alabasta.”
“There should be a lot of female death row prisoners in Alabasta, right?!”
“Find one who looks like Robin.”
Cobra understood, glanced at Robin, and said:
“Escape?!”
“This is simple, but it takes some time, and even if the target you find is similar, it won’t be exactly the same.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
Gao Wen said calmly:
“The photo on the wanted poster was taken more than a decade ago. It’s normal for his appearance to change a little over such a long period of time.”
“What about Kizaru…”
“Don’t you see it yet?!”
Gao Wen’s mouth twitched:
“That old bitch is the type who would rather avoid trouble than cause any trouble. Since she chose to turn a blind eye this time, she won’t cause trouble for herself in the future.”
“Understood.”
Cobra responded, his voice trembling a little at this moment.
Alabasta has been poor for too long, and the people of this land have experienced too many hardships.
But now that they have the martial arts tournament as a cash cow, even if they cannot be reborn in the future, they can live a better life by relying on the derivative industries of the martial arts tournament.
Cobra slowly stood up and when he stretched out his fingers, he realized that it was not only his voice that was shaking, but also his arms:
“Then… happy cooperation!”
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Gawain nodded.
He could understand Cobra’s feelings at the moment, which was no different from Ajian’s excitement when Kokoasi Village was reborn.
They truly love the land beneath their feet and the people who live here.
“For more detailed questions, I’ll have the person in charge in the East China Sea contact you later.”
“no problem.”
…
A few minutes later.
Cobra left happily, his steps were lighter, and he no longer looked bitter and vengeful as before.
Robin, who had been listening quietly, smiled:
“This is the first time I’ve seen Mr. Cobra like this~”
After saying that.
Robin looked at Gawain.
How could she not see, as smart as she was, that Gawain had already found a position for himself.
“So Captain, will you leave the martial arts tournament to me?!”
“Yes, what did you think?!”
Gawain would not force his crew members. If Robin was unwilling, Gaza, who was in charge of the martial arts tournament, could be of great use after training him for a few years.
Robin paused, his eyes fell on Gawain, his gaze gentle:
“If possible, I still want to accompany you… no, to be with my companions and see Utopia.”
“The martial arts tournament is still in its early stages. The tentative plan is to have four venues in the Four Seas and Paradise, as well as the finals in the New World.”
Gao Wen will explain:
“Once we have established a stable base in Britannias, everything will be concentrated there, including you who remain here temporarily.”
“However, I respect your idea. It’s fine if you want to sail with me.”
“But we need to completely get rid of the World Government’s tracking here first.”
Robin nodded, his eyes falling on Gawain.
At this moment, golden sunlight shone in from the window and hit Gawain’s face, making his golden hair shine and highlighting his young and handsome face.
“Captain, is there a girl you like?!”
