For Morgans, accepting the summons from the Five Old Stars is not a very surprising thing, and he has been summoned by the Five Old Stars more than once.
But every time he is summoned, it is a summons that changes the world situation.
This is partly because he is the well-deserved leader of the press in the One Piece world, and also because the Five Old Stars do not summon any cats or dogs if they have nothing important to do.
After all, authority comes not only from power, but also from unknownness and distance.
But this time, he knew about Wulaoxing's summons after learning about the battle between Li Ke and Kaido, and he knew the purpose and reason why Wulaoxing summoned him: Li Ke's rise was too fast, it can be said that various CP departments have just Once you notice him, he has risen rapidly.
People who don’t even know him as well as he, the king of journalism, know him.
If you want to say why...
The endless seagulls in the sky, those selling newspapers, and people from all walks of life who make money by selling news are his eyes and ears.
It is precisely because of this that he knows many secrets that others do not know, understands situations that others do not know, and even takes portraits of others without their knowledge.
Naturally, such an ability will not escape the control of the world government. He himself knows this very well, so he has always kept a low profile to prevent himself from appearing ignorant of current affairs.
So after knowing the outcome of the battle between Li Ke and Kaido, he started to prepare. Not only did they bring the photos of Kaido and Li Ke that were desperately taken by the seagull during the battle, but they also brought all the information that Li Ke could find.
Therefore, Morgans did not need to be notified at all, and had already been waiting outside the Holy Land Mariejoia. When he was brought in, even the blond Five Old Stars couldn't help but sigh in surprise.
"What a surprise. We were planning to have a cup of afternoon tea before meeting you. Morgans, the information is really good."
His words were somewhat accusatory, trying to figure out the thoughts of the Five Old Stars. This is a big sin no matter how you think about it, right?
"Ah, after all, this is my job, and there is no control from the world government. How can I dare to release the news at will?"
Morgans bowed himself deeply.
"So I am anxiously waiting for the ruling of the Five Old Stars for the sake of the big news that is No. 1 in the world."
His posture is very low, because he knows that he cannot break away from the world government. He must be very respectful to continue running his newspaper. Otherwise, he will not have time to publish the world's biggest news. Killed by agents sent by the World Government.
He knows very well that he is not irreplaceable, only the person who fulfills his own dream, that is, himself, is irreplaceable to him.
"Very good, as long as you have this awareness."
The five old stars holding the knife nodded. Morgans has always been a smart man who understands things. Now that he has beaten him, it is naturally time for him to get down to business.
"How much information do you have about Li Ke?"
He directly asked a very heart-wrenching statement, but for Morgans, this is also a question that has to be answered. Although the fact is that the CP organization did not obtain enough intelligence, asking him to reveal this will still make people feel uncomfortable. He offended the entire CP organization.
"I don't know any more information about Li Ke than the CP organization, because this Li Ke is just a guy who suddenly appeared. I couldn't find any information about him before he took Garp's ship."
Morgans slowly said the words he had already thought of, and then observed the reactions of the five old stars before continuing.
"But based on the observations of my subordinates and myself, Li Ke is a person who abides by the 'rules' and respects the rules. To say that he is a pirate is better to say that he is a navy who is unwilling to abide by the existing naval system."
These words were quite bold. For the five old stars, they didn't care about the official tone spoken by the knowledgeable Morgans, but it was very interesting to stand up for Li Ke so clearly.
"You think highly of him?"
The curly-headed Five Old Star touched his beard with a somewhat evil look in his eyes.
"That's not the case, it's just the most reasonable judgment of a person. Li Ke has never killed or injured a civilian since his debut, not even by accident. Although the procedures for going to sea are rough, they are quite complete."
Morgans shook his head. He came here just to help Li Ke, and that was exactly what he wrote. But not only that, by doing these things for Li Ke, Wulaoxing can also further grasp his handle.
With... big news.
This is his only clue. It is also the most real and true handle. He desires to shock the world. Wulaoxing is also sure of this, so if he speaks from the standpoint of 'wanting to release news that shocks the world about Li Ke', Wulaoxing will not care, but will be satisfied with his behavior.
No matter how big or small a dog without a collar is, no matter how obedient it is, it is still a ferocious beast. And he, Morgans, is a weak beast. Although he is powerful, he is also very fragile. He must always remind the Five Old Stars that they have their own collars on their hands.
Only in this way can you do your own thing. The Five Old Stars are also very aware of this kind of thing, but they will only be more satisfied.
Because this is awe and awareness of one’s own identity.
And to be honest, Wulaoxing summoned an outsider to ask for information, which in itself has tacitly agreed to the occurrence of something. But of course Wulaoxing cannot have civil strife, nor can it allow CP organizations to interfere with political rights, so You must find someone who is obedient, influential, understands the rules, knows things, and can take the blame.
As for information? He doesn't even know how many people from the World Government are in his newspaper office. He is even a member of the World Government. What kind of information can't he get?
And he is the best scapegoat. The information he gave actually didn't play any critical role, but it didn't mean it was useless.
He wanted Li Ke to further develop his abilities.
The ability to kill pirates.
The position of the Four Emperors is already empty, so Li Ke's current attitude will indeed determine the future direction of the world.
If you become a pirate, then the world structure will return to the four emperors, the era of great pirates will continue, and the navy's strategy will not change.
If you become a navy, the world structure will be in chaos and the power will be unbalanced. As long as you operate it properly, the era of great pirates will be overturned in an instant, and the rule of the world government will be foolproof again, as stable as made of iron barrels.
So it goes without saying how Wulaoxing wants to choose.
"So, you think he's a good guy?"
"Yes, it's just that although he respects the rules, he was born in the wilderness after all, so he may not be very suitable for the greatness of the World Government, and his hobbies are very vulgar, either eating a lot of delicious food or collecting beautiful women Filling one's own room. Such a person cannot but be said to be vulgar."
On this sea, what everyone yearns for is to make achievements and realize their ideals. There are many people like Li Ke who like beauty and delicious food, but there are only a handful of people who regard these two as their sailing goals.
Although the Yonko Charlotte Lingling is a glutton for food and is quite obsessed with food, her core idea in establishing the pirate group is to establish a country without discrimination that brings together all the countries in the world.
Although her methods and behavior are completely inconsistent with this ideal, you can't say that she sailed for food. However, Li Ke's current performance is purely to become stronger and then enjoy delicious food and beauties.
"Haha, Morgans, food and beauty are not vulgar enjoyments. If a person can't cherish food and beauty, can he still be called a human being? But I remember that this person doesn't like the navy, right? And He doesn’t seem to have much respect for the World Government, otherwise he wouldn’t be a bounty hunter.”
The five old stars holding the knife laughed, and Morgans also breathed a sigh of relief, but then raised it again.
The Five Old Stars indeed want to recruit Li Ke, but these words directly block Li Ke's intention to join the navy and the world government. So what do they want to do?
The curly-haired Wulaoxing glanced at the Wulaoxing holding the knife, nodded to him, then glanced at the blond Wulaoxing, and then spoke as if he had casually spoken.
"I remember that Zefa has long been dissatisfied with the Shichibukai system, right? He has also been dissatisfied with the Warring States strategy for a long time. He seems to want to establish a special force? Now that both Shichibukai have problems, why not let Zefa How about inviting the other party and then establishing a special operations team to deal with the Shichibukai?"
But the blond five-star star is now starting to sing the opposite tune.
"The Shichibukai system still needs to exist. Although scumbags like Crocodile and Doflamingo have appeared, it also shows the world government's tolerance for those who have gone astray. Ending it hastily is not good for the world government. ah."
Morgans knew very well that this was just dividing the navy. Zefa, Garp, Crane, Sengoku, and Aoki were actually from one side, and they controlled the direction of the navy.
Akainu is a typical radical. Although he is a representative of the young faction and the lower-level navy, for the navy commanded by the Warring States Period, the radical Akainu actually occupies very little power, but the hatred of pirates by the lower-level navy is still The radical Akainu became a vicious dog that sometimes could not be contained during the Warring States Period.
But in order to gain a firm foothold and realize his ideals, Akainu had to accept the World Government's 'preference'.
Morgans knew Kizaru the best, but it turned out that he was obviously the person who best fit the position of 'general'. Because the general's duty is not to destroy pirates, but to serve the Celestial Dragons. But for the navy, the duty of the general is to destroy the navy, end the current chaos, protect people's lives and property, and uphold justice.
The two sometimes conflict, but even though Kizaru looks lazy, no matter who it is, no matter which side he is on, he cannot deny one thing.
Kizaru is indeed a qualified general.
But although two of the three generals are their own, for the Five Old Stars, the current naval power is indeed somewhat unbalanced. The Warring States Period cannot step down in a short period of time. If Li Ke is recruited, the Warring States Period will definitely be able to use Li Ke to do more things and make his position more stable.
Although the Celestial Dragons are arrogant, they, the elite Celestial Dragons, know the importance of maintaining the machine of the World Government. Therefore, they would not violate their own rules so violently and force Sengoku to abdicate.
So if you want to better check and balance the Warring States Period and end the era of great pirates, there is only one way.
Differentiate, win over.
Then make sure they are not compatible.
"It would be too wasteful just to deal with the Shichibukai. Anyone who can defeat Kaido will naturally have to face the so-called 'Yonko'."
The long-haired Wulaoxing spoke at this time, and his words established the outcome of this summons and meeting.
"But can the people accept it? The world is in turmoil now, and rash big moves will only get everyone into trouble. It's better to let Morgans do an investigation. After all, you can't do things in a hurry."
The last five old stars who barely spoke finally spoke and began to issue tasks to Morgans.
"agree."
"agree."
"agree."
"agree."
Morgans tried hard to suppress the wild laughter at the corner of his mouth. This is what he wants, whether it is Li Ke accepting the recruitment of the Five Old Stars and becoming a tool for the World Government to divide the now too large naval power and groups, or becoming the new Four Emperors , he can get first-hand information!
"Yes, I will definitely live up to the trust of the world government."
And because he is the messenger of the World Government, his safety can also be guaranteed. Letting humility appear on his face, Morgans saluted sincerely, and then walked out of Wulaoxing's room under the leadership of the waiter.
Of course, the five old stars will not stop the discussion here, because they have no objections to Li Ke's handling. There are just two choices. After discussing the other possibility, it is natural to discuss other things.
It's just the Four Emperors, so it's not a big problem.
But for Morgans, he's finally over it.
"They really didn't correctly perceive each other's strength."
Slowly walking out of the magnificent door, Morgans pressed his hat, gaining a deeper understanding of the arrogance of the World Government.
Including the CP organization, they all look down on those pirates from the bottom of their hearts. Even the so-called Yonko is just a bigger fly. It doesn't make much difference to them, so what if they can defeat Kaido easily? Just a bigger fly.
Li Ke defeated Kaido in a short period of time. They understood this and then disapproved of it. The weak have defeated the strong many times, and Kaido's arrogance is normal, so being defeated is normal. Their navy often catches Kaido, and it is nothing.
What? Was that done by Kaido to brag about his strength?
Is that important?
"How arrogant."
Morgans flew into the sky under the gaze of others. He had already found out where Li Ke was and where he would go, and it was not far from here.
If he guessed correctly, he could still see a good show in the past, because Li Ke would definitely go...
"Champaign Islands, are these the Champaign Islands?!"
Rebecca, who was sitting on Li Ke's head, held the dragon horn on Li Ke's head and looked at the large and small islands full of amusement facilities below. She couldn't help but have a bright smile on her face.
Her revenge was avenged and she could live her own life. Now she wanted to see the outside world. After Li Ke asked her to sit on his head and start flying, her smile and laughter never stopped.
For someone who has lived in hatred and persecution since she was a child, being carried by Li Ke was actually a very happy thing for her.
"Well, that's the Chambord Islands, but be careful, I'm going to come here to cause trouble for someone."
Li Ke nodded, causing Rebecca to let out an excited cry. Naturally, he came here to deal with Pluto Rayleigh, and he remembered the previous grudge very clearly.
If he is still in Alabasta, then he will most likely practice slowly and wait until he can transform back into a human body before coming back to cause trouble for Rayleigh.
But now that we've passed by, let's just solve it.
But Rebecca didn't know about Li Ke. She didn't know much about Li Ke. She just thought that Li Ke was a very nice person and she was quite happy to be with him.
The premise is that Li Ke doesn't do something stupid, such as accidentally stuffing her into his mouth.
"Who will be your enemy? You are so strong, your enemies should have been dealt with long ago."
She bent down in confusion and looked into Li Ke's eyes, which made Li Ke's eyes twitch because he could see a lot of things from this angle. This girl completely regarded him as a dragon, not a man. .
"I also have times when I'm weak."
Li Ke began to land amidst the admiration of the onlookers, but what made him feel ridiculous was that as he landed, a large wave of guys with obvious ill intentions were heading towards him. Especially the guys in the distance who had bubbles on their heads and were dressed like astronauts were pointing at themselves and saying something loudly.
The Celestial Dragons... should I blow up the Holy Land Marie Joa directly here?
Some unpleasant emotions suddenly appeared in his heart. He did have plans to use the power of the World Government to develop his own power, but if these Celestial Dragons disgusted him, he wouldn't mind taking the dragon route.
The cooperation between Long and Long is actually quite touching when you think about it, and with his support, Long can establish a base in an upright manner without having to shoot and change places.
For him, there is actually no difference between the two choices.
When he joins the navy, he can get many low-level marines who really want to make the world a better place. Moreover, with the behavior of the Tianlong people, he also has the knowledge and experience he has mastered. If he does well, he can take it with him when he rebels. A large wave of naval elites further strengthened their own power.
Kill all the Celestial Dragons here, run away with the navy, and then join the Dragon side, and directly raise the flag of rebellion with the other party in a good place in the world. The two of you and him are enough to protect the slow development and expansion of a kingdom. . In this way, we can get a large number of subordinates and companions who know the basics and are trained together.
But the results of both routes are the same. Both are the end of the world government, the death of the Celestial Dragons, and the confiscation of all rights, privileges and illegal gains from those who have done nothing wrong, and then placed under house arrest and reformed.
For Li Ke, there is really no difference. The biggest difference is that the second option is slightly more difficult. After all, the resources occupied by the World Government are too good, and it still has many trump cards. And the first one has more time for him to develop, and it is more convenient to walk what he knows.
"I just don't know if the three generals are here. If they are all here, then it really can't be said that they escaped safely. The golden dragon's breath I released should be able to cause damage to the Red Earth Continent, but there are three general levels afterwards. If I had the fighting ability, I would also fall here."
Li Ke gritted his teeth and decided not to think about it, and planned to solve Lei Li's problem first. But after he opened up his knowledge and domineering spirit, he did not find Rayleigh's aura in the Chambord Islands. It was obvious that the other party was not staying in the Chambord Islands.
"Tsk, forget it, he has run away. Do you want to play here? If you want, we will stay here for a while. If not, we will go to Fish-Man Island first... Tsk, am I going to be coated? ?”
Li Ke looked at Rebecca and couldn't help but get a headache. It was not that he couldn't wrap Rebecca up with his armed domineering energy, but this time he was not swept away by the white dragon sea current. The consumption is still very large. He has not fully recovered his physical strength now, so it is not wise to increase the consumption.
So the best way is for him to find a craftsman to coat himself, and then take Rebecca down...
There was a look of longing in Rebecca's eyes. When she was a child, apart from having time to play with her mother, the rest of her time was spent studying and surviving. So when Li Ke said that he would take her to play, she really wanted to visit the Shampoo Islands with Li Ke.
But she is also a sensible girl, and she has also seen those guys with malicious intentions following them.
"Well, although I want to buy some clothes, I might as well forget it this time."
After arranging her hair, Rebecca was ready to be caught by Li Ke, but Li Ke looked at the people who saw that she was about to land on the ground, holding various fishing nets and hooks, and they all screamed with excitement. He stood up, even with his artillery and muskets out, but he couldn't help but sigh.
"Hold it."
After asking Rebecca to hold on, Li Ke directly opened up his aura. The overlord-colored domineering mixture of dragon power, overlord-colored domineering energy, and murderous aura radiated to most of the Shampoo Islands in an instant with his thoughts.
The people under him who wanted to capture him fell one by one, even the Tianlong people who looked at him and pointed at him in the distance, and the bodyguards around them were no exception.
If it was just a simple overlord-colored domineering force, they could still resist, but Li Ke's was a three-in-one overlord-colored domineering force. People who have no accumulated experience and have not experienced the Shura Field simply cannot resist.
What's more, Long Wei's oppression itself is famous, so those who barely managed to faint could feel their internal organs and brains shaking, and they couldn't help but feel fear.
His movements became slower, his heart began to panic, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Some of them became hysterical, while others became completely silent.
But although Li Ke avoided a lot of trouble by doing this, it also caused even greater trouble.
"Damn...this guy, this guy..."
The guards guarding the Tianlong people were half kneeling on the ground. Looking at the other guards who fell on the ground and the Tianlong people who were supported by their bodies, they couldn't help but tremble all over.
The Tianlong man wanted to capture that dragon as his pet, but he never expected that the dragon would have such a powerful and overbearing aura, and it would stun everyone, even if he unleashed it continuously on the opponent Under the overbearing and domineering behavior, I almost couldn't hold on anymore.
But his duty meant that he couldn't just faint. He took out the phone bug that had fainted a long time ago, woke it up with all his strength, and then struggled to tell his last words to the panicked inquiries from the other side. if.
"Ask for help...let them send a general to Xiangbodi..."
Before he finished speaking, the guard fainted. The operator on the other side didn't dare to neglect, and the studio dedicated to serving Tianlong people suddenly became busy.
Kizaru, who was sitting in his office with his legs on the table and reading the newspaper, raised his head helplessly after hearing the alarm. After looking at the clock on the side, his face became even more helpless and he sighed. tone.
"Can't you wait five minutes before doing anything? I'm almost off work."
