Chapter 434 Gion's Heart Knot
Gion's 27th birthday party is getting closer, but Gion himself is still living in the South Sea, with no sign of heading to the West Sea and Fenghuai Qianli. It seems that he doesn't care about his birthday at all, and handles the trivial matters of the South Sea in an orderly manner.
Regarding the cooperation with Marinford, Gion spent half a day to reach a consensus with Tsuru. Soon, Marinford will be used as a breakthrough point, and then cooperation with the World Government will be gradually launched.
Gion is the representative of Rex, Marinford is the representative of the World Government, and Nanhai is the pilot site.
The two sides need to find a suitable balance point, share what they have, cooperate in trade, and engage in soft power competition after a huge war.
There is no doubt that the world government is the weaker party in this process.
Because Lex's side is already far ahead of the World Government in business.
Lex's layout was too perfect. Now it seemed that he might have considered today's situation when he went to sea ten years ago, so he started his business layout early, from conquering the underground world, to establishing the Pentles Chamber of Commerce, and then to the trade chain plan in 1492 of the Haiyuan calendar, to open up the trade circulation of the Grand Route.
Now, after ten years of development, Lex's business empire has already blossomed and borne fruit.
Business goes all over the world, wealth comes from all corners of the world!
To dominate Qinghai, more than just force is needed. Of course, force is the most important thing.
South China Sea Governor's Mansion——
"Sister He, what can Mary Geoise offer?"
Gion and Tsuru are not outsiders, but sisters who are closer than family members and can talk about anything.
Tsuru's position is also very subtle. As the Navy's Chief of Staff, for the first time in decades, she did not think about the problem from the perspective of the World Government, but rather from the perspective of Gion:
"In Mary Geoise, the Five Elders didn't say it clearly. They just asked the headquarters to gradually cooperate with you first. After the channels are stable, they can start trading high-level items with each other. The Five Elders want the seastone resources in the new world, so they may be able to give out some devil fruits for this."
Gion understood, thought for a moment and then spoke:
"The seastone resources in Wano Country can be traded, but the price is still to be discussed. After all, Wano Country is not Leon's private property, but is controlled by the Kozuki lineage."
Hearing this, He suddenly laughed out loud. Gion raised his eyebrows, looked at his sister, blushed, and asked in a low voice:
"What are you laughing at, Sister He?"
He laughed and said:
"You know, your eyes used to tremble when you told a lie, but now you have changed and you can lie without blushing or beating your heart. You must have learned something from Lex~"
Hearing Tsuru's teasing, Gion remained calm, but the redness on her cheeks revealed her uneasy heart at the moment:
"I didn't lie at all, Sister He, please don't frame a good person."
"Okay, okay, I won't frame our Governor of the South Sea. Wano Country belongs to the Kozuki lineage, okay? But is there anyone alive in the Kozuki lineage now? ~"
"Ahem~ Where did Sister Tsuru get this information from? How come there are no survivors in the Kozuki lineage when they are all fine? Is this false information sent back by the Navy's spies in the New World?"
He stopped joking and said seriously:
"Okay, stop testing me. Would your sister go so far as to fool you? Hmm? What on earth do you think about in your little head every day~"
"Wano Country is so big, and such a huge change happened in one day. As the chief of staff of the headquarters, it is hard for me not to know... Only Lex can let a child like Oleini do such a thing."
After hearing this, Gion was certain that Tsuru was fully aware of what Ollani had done in Wano Country. It was not surprising. After all, before Ollani suppressed Wano Country, Wano Country was still under the control of the Kozuki lineage. It would be too easy for the World Government to infiltrate a few spies. After all, Oden's stupidity was witnessed by everyone.
Gion is not happy:
"That's how it is. Oleini is still so young, but Lex asked him to go to Wano Country to complete such a task. If Oleini didn't want to, I would never agree to Lex's arrangement."
Gion knew everything that Leon Oleini had done in Wano Country. As the mistress of Rex's side and the first lady of the sea, she certainly had her own channels of information. She had already known about Oleini's massacre of his relatives, the Ugetsu lineage, the slaughter of the Kozuki family, and the suppression of Wano Country.
So she was unhappy. She was unhappy to see Oleni doing these at such a young age. She was unhappy to see her own son living in power and conspiracy every day.
Tsuru gently stroked Gion's shoulder and comforted him:
"It's been nearly twenty years. Don't you know what kind of person he is? Oleini inherited all his advantages and will inherit everything from him. Since Oleini is willing to take on the responsibility, we just need to support him. At least they all love you, don't they?"
Gion nodded slightly and said to himself:
"Tomorrow is my birthday, but I haven't gone to Fenghuai Qianli yet... I know he has been preparing for my birthday for a long time and has prepared a lot, but because of Oleini's matter, I have been a little confused recently and don't know what to do, so I have been putting it off until now."
"Didn't he come to pick you up?"
"No, maybe he will come later, maybe not."
He felt sorry for Gion, the Governor of the South Seas, General Momosato, who was about to turn 27. She had watched Gion grow up, and she knew better than anyone else what hardships and sufferings she had endured.
It is precisely because of this that He loves his eccentric, yet determined and kind-hearted stepsister more than anyone else.
"Gion, have you ever thought about one thing?"
Gion raised his head, his crimson eyes showing confusion: "What's the matter?"
"If you hadn't met Lex, what would your life be like? Or, what kind of life do you want to live?"
Gion was stunned. She was instantly attracted by Tsuru's question and couldn't help but fall into thought.
If I hadn’t met Lex at the Beihai Tingyu Dojo when I was fourteen years old, what would my life be like?
Will it be dull?
Or is it loneliness?
I have been going to sea with my father since I was young. Later, my father opened a kendo dojo in Beihai, and I also settled in Beihai. When I was thirteen years old, my father fell ill and his health was getting worse day by day. My father was Gion's only support at that time. Since I can remember, my father is my whole world.
When I was fourteen years old, a blond young man came to Tingyu Dojo. He was tall and slender, with a handsome face, blond hair hanging down his shoulders, smiling eyes and eyebrows, and he spoke very pleasantly. Although I always felt that his smile was a little hypocritical, that faint smile always lingered in the girl's heart and could not be shaken off.
That year, Leon Lex was sixteen years old and Ugetsu Gion was fourteen years old.
