Anyone who has watched One Piece, or watched One Piece fans, will know one thing, and that is how disgusting the World Government can be.
But that's because the protagonists are all pirates, not people within their system, so they appear to be so greedy, stupid, and domineering.
The fact is that as long as you join the world government, then...
They are still as stupid, greedy, and tyrannical as ever. It's just that as long as you stay within their game rules, they won't completely break up with you.
Li Ke watched with his own eyes how Kobra's face changed wildly, and he kept talking all kinds of good things and official words, and then started to argue with the officials of the World Government.
These World Government officials are constantly trying to get Li Ke to commit the crime of 'killing the Shichibukai' and become a pirate, while Kobra is constantly using his identity as a member state and the identity of the prince-in-law that Li Ke wanted before. To avoid this matter, and threatened these people that if Li Ke became a pirate, he would expose the Shichibukai they recruited and wanted to usurp the country.
Although Kobra is still not sure that Crocodile is using dancing powder, Crocodile is also the culprit. But when he was fighting with those people, he said with certainty that Crocodile used dancing powder to plunge Alabasta into drought and then cause civil strife.
But those World Government officials don't care about this. They still insist on making the person who killed Crocodile bear the name of a pirate. So the angry Kobra yelled, "I want to talk to the Five Old Stars about this," and then hung up the phone.
At this time, Nami, who had been listening on the side, spoke angrily.
"How could they do this?"
She blindly believed in Li Ke, thinking that just like what Li Ke said, Crocodile had caused the drought with dancing powder, and what she found in the air made her even more convinced of this.
However, Li Ke knew very well that Kobra and Weiwei were very likely to be suspicious. Because he came so suddenly, it was just his strength that kept them from thinking too much.
As for the fact that the World Government bit him to death because he was a pirate, Li Ke also understood why, so he explained it to Nami.
"They don't want the Shichibukai Project to bear the reputation that the members of the Shichibukai are still pirates who do all kinds of evil, so they need a pirate who does all kinds of evil, and I am the pirate they want."
Li Ke looked at Robin, who was silent, and Cobra, who looked nervous and gloomy, with interest. He didn't want to become a pirate just because pirates had such a bad reputation, and many things were troublesome.
So he doesn't want to be a pirate, but if he does become a pirate, it means one thing.
If he still wants a world that allows him to quickly become familiar with his own power, he must complete the world mission to 25% to ensure that he can come back again.
This also means that he is no longer in cultivation mode, but in trouble-making mode.
He looked down on Long from the revolutionary army because he was actually from the perspective of a giant, because Long still looked like a petty person, but it had to be said that Long had some abilities, but if he also pulled Long onto the shoulders of a giant, Up?
His power alone is very small, but what can change the world is always thoughts. It is said that overlord color will make the underlying combat power useless, but although this world has this ability to cheat, it also has another very prominent feature.
Will can be transformed into power.
Li Ke did some research on Armed Color Dominance and found that it was indeed the emanation of body energy. He could still see this, but it was not just hard training that affected the strength of Armed Color, but also a crucial thing.
will.
The stronger the will, the stronger the armed color and your body will be, which is also an important part of the armed color.
In this dark world, as long as a little bit of light is given, a large group of people can have a will like steel. What's more, what Li Ke gave is the avenue of panic? With exercise, will, and methods, then the sufferers at the bottom can have their own strong ones.
It's just that there are great risks and the results are slow, so he doesn't want to do it now.
"But it also depends on who did it. People with strength will not be made too difficult, but first they need to know about it."
Li Ke turned to look at Kobra, who didn't know when someone was missing from his side, and smiled meaningfully at him.
"Your Majesty the King, please tell them when you contact them again that it only took me ten minutes to kill Crocodile, and I know how to pay for food, pay taxes when I make money, and I also plan to build a kingdom that pays gold from heaven. And I hate it. Pirates like order.”
I just don’t like their order.
"Okay, okay."
Cobra was a little nervous. He stroked the phone bug in his hand uneasily because he was afraid that Li Ke was someone like Crocodile. This worry never stopped from the beginning.
He didn't understand why his daughter chose to believe Li Ke so decisively, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Just when he was in trouble, he saw his most trusted guard adjutant, Peru, quietly nodding to him in the corridor outside the palace, and he felt relieved.
Peru was the one he sent out to investigate the situation before. Things that could not be properly investigated because of Crocodile's existence can now be investigated. And because of the reason for Crocodile's death, many people also chose to confess, so it was much easier for them to find out information than before.
Although the complete picture of Crocodile's plan has not yet been determined, there is still no problem in confirming what Li Ke said. The bag of 'dancing powder' on Crocodile's body was also quietly subcontracted into a real one. dancing fans.
It was only at this moment that Cobra was completely relieved. At the same time, on the holy land of Mariejoia, the five elder stars who were above finally knew the whole story.
Relying on some fruit ability users and a complex intelligence network, they obtained general information within two hours after learning about the death of Sand Crocodile Crocodile.
So looking at this information, the five old stars were a little moved.
"A bounty hunter was able to kill Crocodile in ten minutes. Is it the restraint of the fruit's ability?"
The five old stars in suits frowned, feeling a little weird. And a five-pointed star with hair similar to a five-pointed star shook his head, speechless at Crocodile's embarrassing record.
"It looks like it, but Sand Crocodile is too shameful and too lazy."
Wulaoxing, who was holding the knife, picked up the document and raised his eyebrows with interest as he looked at the 'swordsmanship that was suspected of being able to control the celestial phenomena'. After looking at it for a while, he spoke.
"The most important thing now is whether the so-called prince-in-law Li Ke is wanted. Cobra may have noticed something."
For a time, the five old stars were a little silent. They were actually very clear about Crocodile's expansion and his plan for Alabasta. Not all the World Government's spies were blind. The particularity of Pluto and the text of history also ensured that They won't do nothing.
But doing it is one thing, being discovered and violently cracked is another.
"The Shichibukai are still useful now, so they are wanted."
"Then what if Kobra jumps over the wall in a hurry? He has a lot of things under his control."
"Yes, and if it is exposed, it will do more harm to the world government."
"Then let the Navy solve this matter. Just claim that Crocodile was selected by the Navy and the World Government was deceived. After all, they didn't notice when Crocodile cooperated with the Navy, right? "
"What about Li Ke? His existence is always a trouble."
"Let Akainu invite him to join the navy, so that the navy won't talk about anything. If he doesn't want to join the navy, let him become a bounty hunter specially invited by the Shichibukai or World Conquest. That's just right. You can also give those Shichibukai a beating to stop them from being so arrogant."
"That's it. I hope he's smarter and not ungrateful."
So the five old stars decided how to handle this matter. Because of Alabasta's special status, they did not directly push the so-called prince-in-law out as a scapegoat, but chose another approach. Crocodile was not taken seriously during the whole process. After all, to these people, Crocodile was just a guy who could be replaced at any time.
There will never be a shortage of ambitious and capable people in this world. No matter how capable the Sand Crocodile is, there are many substitutes.
Naturally, Cobra did not talk to the Five Old Stars, but directly received a solution from the Five Old Stars. In this solution, Alabasta must conceal the truth about the Shichibukai's theft of the country. In this regard, the World Government Compensation will be provided in all aspects.
And Li Ke must either become a Shichibukai, or declare to the outside world that he is a specially invited member of the World Government, and state that he is investigating Crocodile under the instruction of the World Government, otherwise...
He will be wanted, with a reward starting at 300 million beli.
But correspondingly, if he agrees, he will have many privileges, such as being able to legally form his own fleet, establish his own power on the sea, and will not be wanted.
It can be said that it is not the Shichibukai, but better than the Shichibukai.
"It seems like my head is quite valuable."
Touching his neck, Li Ke felt a little funny, but fortunately, what he had specially prepared before was still achieved, and there was no reward after killing Crocodile.
This is the most important thing. As for other details, he doesn't care much. But Nami was filled with hatred. Li Ke did such a big thing and got such a result, and he also became an employee of the World Government inexplicably. To be honest, she was very unhappy.
"So the world government..."
"They've always been like this, but now they haven't offended me, right? And they've given me a pretty good title."
"You don't really want to do that Shichibukai, do you?"
"Of course not, but some things can still be done through the World Government, and I believe King Kobra will also help, right?"
Li Ke waved his hand, and Nokigao on the side took out the few Devil Fruits he had obtained before and placed them in front of Cobra.
"Can you help me exchange these fruits for phantom beast devil fruits in the world government? It doesn't matter whether I exchange them or not. The main thing is to help me spread this news."
Cobra looked at Li Ke, then at the devil fruit in front of Li Ke, and finally nodded. The last thing Li Ke wanted to do was completed, so he happily exercised and rested in the palace, waiting for Kobra's answer.
Alabasta, which was waiting for a lot of work, was also very busy. Cobra and Vivi also started to clean up Alabasta again. The World Government also works very quickly. After Li Ke repeatedly stated that he was not interested in becoming a Shichibukai or the Navy, a bounty hunter certificate endorsed by the World Government and an employment document came into his hands.
With this certificate, he can use the power of the navy anywhere, and as long as he is not crazy about seeking death, such as opposing the world government and taking action against the Celestial Dragons, he will not be wanted.
And it wouldn't be too troublesome to return to the East China Sea. He used these documents to apply for the use of the Holy Land Mariejoia's device to travel to the four seas, instead of troublesome things like crossing the windless zone.
But during his stay at the palace in Alabasta, an interesting thing happened. Not only was the turmoil on the sea caused by his killing of the Sand Crocodile, there were also some things that he had not thought of at all.
"Doflamingo wants to talk to me?"
Looking at the green-haired and pretty-faced woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Ke looked at her curiously, and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
"Yes, my young master wants to discuss the previous auction house matters with you, and wants to conduct a certain level of transactions with you."
The man named Monet, with long green hair and a good-looking face, was a snow fruit capable user who nodded with a respectful look. And she also wore a suit that could highlight her figure. It was obvious that she knew Li Ke's preferences through certain circumstances, so she was specially sent here by Doflamingo.
"How do you want to cooperate?"
Li Ke was really interested. He wanted to know what Doflamingo, who had been robbed by him and killed by him offline, wanted to do.
"You are a bounty hunter recognized by the World Government. You also want to consolidate this special identity, don't you? With the help of our Don Quixote family, you can easily hunt those famous pirates, and Sometimes you can easily get some pirates with high bounties without any action from you."
Monet's expression was quite respectful. This job was originally assigned to another person, but Doflamingo sent her over after hearing that the crew members around Li Ke were all women.
Although there are other women in the family who can be sent over, that woman is really not reassuring, and can easily be incited to rebel, or directly considered to be provocative. And the rest are either not pretty or just inappropriate.
As for male cadres, to be honest, Doflamingo feels that he is more likely to be killed by Li Ke. Only Monet, who has a relatively clean net worth, is more suitable as an envoy.
After all, Monet doesn't have a bounty yet, and Li Ke won't gain anything by killing her. This is one of the most important reasons why Doflamingo sent her out.
But Li Ke found it a bit funny.
"He actually sent a beautiful woman as an envoy. I think Doflamingo also knows my character. You also know what will happen, right?"
Li Ke, who had just finished exercising and started eating, stood up from his seat, came to Monet who was standing in front of him, and then naturally put his hand on the other person's chest.
But what made him feel bored was that the woman named Monet had no intention of avoiding him at all. Instead, she looked at him with a smile on her face.
"certainly."
Li Ke stretched out his hand and pressed it. Although the softness made him happy, the completely uninteresting feeling made him a little bit uninterested.
You know, Weiwei hasn't even taken action yet, let alone this girl.
