Hawkins had even sworn that unless he avenged this grudge, he would never take the position of Commander of the Second Fleet. That was why, to this day, he still remained the Vice Commander of the Star Alliance's Second Fleet and had never been promoted.
After pondering for a moment, Ronglin said calmly, "Everyone else, leave. Hawkins, stay."
Quite a few quick-witted people immediately understood. As one of the original veterans, Ronglin might not care much about Hawkins's attitude, but it could still influence many people within the Alliance. If the Alliance intended to recruit the remnants of the BIGMOM Pirates, then the first issue Ronglin had to face was how to deal with Hawkins's hatred.
The people in the conference hall quickly dispersed, leaving only Ronglin, Jazz, Fujitora, and Momousagi.
"One must put on a proper show," Ronglin said slowly. "But if there are certain shows you don't want to put on, then there's no need to. If a person cannot even avenge a grudge, then they will probably lose the meaning of living. Moria probably willingly submitted to me back then because he wanted to find his own reason to live, right?"
As Ronglin spoke, he looked at Hawkins. "So, if you want revenge, I won't stop you. I'll hand the lives of the three Sweet Commanders over to you!"
Hawkins was stunned. Ronglin's words were completely different from what had been discussed at the meeting just now. If the three Sweet Commanders were killed, the difficulty of subduing the remnants of the BIGMOM Pirates would increase without limit.
Thinking of this, Hawkins glanced at Fujitora and asked, "Shouldn't we avoid discussing this kind of topic in front of him?"
Ronglin wanted to completely win Fujitora over, so any attempt to recruit him naturally had to be handled
