Later section of the Grand Line, White Earth Island, Bardigo
The great leader Monkey D. Long closed his eyes and took a long breath.
This was an unexpected conversation, but it gave Long a rare headache.
"Chief, who was the person you were talking to just now?"
Long slowly opened his eyes and took out a cigarette from his bag. When he was about to light it, he realized that this was still indoors, so he gestured and walked to the balcony.
The secretary hesitated and followed.
"You should have listened to part of the conversation just now."
The secretary nodded, "Well, it seems from the content that he is from that organization."
"The person who just spoke is the real leader of the 'Lan' organization that we have never been in contact with. Originally I just had this guess, but now I am completely sure. Her identity is really that person."
The secretary thought for a moment and then responded, "You mean, that leader is exactly the person we guessed before?"
Long spit out a mouthful of mist, "Yes, the actual leader of 'Lan' is none other than Shan Ji, the king of the Seven Martial Arts. To be honest, although I was somewhat prepared, I was quite surprised when I confirmed this information. After all... …”
"After all, her current performance doesn't show any resistance to the World Government and the Navy."
Long shook his head, "It's not without resistance, but she has almost perfectly managed the distance between herself and the Navy and the World Government. On the surface, she has not touched the taboos of the World Government at all."
It is impossible for him not to understand the information about the Shichibukai, and besides, he has such a big insider like Xiong, so even if he has a lot of information about the Shichibukai, he even has a corresponding level of defense against each Shichibukai by the World Government. describe. The description of Shan Ji is quite special.
The strength is within a controllable range and there is no suspicious behavior, but it needs to continue to be observed.
Regarding the Shichibukai, Wulaoxing quietly drew a few red lines.
First, cooperation with the navy and the world government requires coordination. Although it is not impossible to refute, it cannot be refuted on important matters.
And regarding this one, it is the lightest among them. For example, Hancock in the Windless Belt behaves erratically and never listens to the orders of the Navy and the World Government, but he does not deal with it excessively. but……
Hancock's behavior has been restrained after the World Government's scolding, and his own deterrence not only shocked the Grand Line, but also gained some reputation in the South China Sea. Besides, Hancock was able to join the Shichibukai because of Impel Down...
The same is true for Jinbei, but Jinbei's ability to enter the Shichibukai is actually a tacit agreement reached between the World Government and the Four Emperors. It is essentially a political deal. Besides, Jinbei didn’t do too many excessive things.
As for the rest...
Moria does things but doesn't obey at all. Doflamingo himself has many exchanges with the World Government. Crocodile has become the 'hero' of Alabasta. Hawkeye can never find anyone, only Bear. Doing things honestly.
The second is power.
Even if the King is the Shichibukai, the World Government will not allow them to expand unscrupulously. After all, for the World Government, the Shichibukai's subordinates are not guys who will listen to them. If allowed to develop, these Shichibukai may not eventually become as large an organization as the Four Emperors, and eventually they will leave the Shichibukai and go directly to the new world to become the Five Emperors.
Judging from the red lines about the Shichibukai from the Five Old Stars obtained by Xiong, Shan Ji can be said to be too clean, so clean that people doubt that she is not a pirate.
If Ryu hadn't been confirmed by Bear and Sabo's experience in Barakan, he wouldn't have been able to guess how deep the water of the Flying Flower Pirates was.
"So, they took the initiative to contact you this time?"
Long chuckled and said, "Yes, but it's because of the people on our side. Do you still remember Coulson?"
"Colson?!" The secretary thought about it for a moment. "Remember, he is the special operations team member who likes to charge into battle. He disappeared during the battle in the Kingdom of Gurdo. He only joined us after half a year. Get in touch, but isn’t he now lurking into a slave trading system?”
"Hahahahaha" "Yes, yes, it's because of this that the system he was hiding in was found by that little girl. Do you still know her reputation in the slave trader circle?"
The corner of the secretary's mouth twitched and then his eyes showed a hint of admiration, "The liberator with zero tolerance. It is said that not a single slave trader caught by her would survive. They even prepared several large-scale murders for her. Assassination operation.”
"He hit it."
"..." "Then he is really unlucky." After saying this, the secretary thought for a moment, "He is quite lucky too."
"Yes, the long-term mission failed, but he can also return to the revolutionary army. And if I guess correctly, the little girl will probably follow the clues to find him."
"Why?"
Long showed a mysterious smile, "Because to the World Government, Sihai is the countryside mentioned in the book~ If the words in the book are really what she said, then Sihai will soon usher in a turmoil. "
After saying that, Long looked into the distance, and the smile on his face became wider.
“The wind today is really refreshing~”
The secretary suddenly showed an unhappy expression, with a sinister look on his face.
"Yeah, the smell of second-hand smoke is everywhere."
dragon:……
…………
On Yuyouzi's side, after completing the historic first phone call with Long, Yuyouzi felt refreshed.
What, they say Long is just a dead-faced man who talks little, but it turns out that’s not the case at all.
Although she was still attracted by the serious style of the other person when they first came into contact with him, after they started chatting, the guy made her feel like a caper. It's just a ghostly setting where the style of the painting will collapse if we talk about serious business and rush nonsense.
Just like when Long suddenly said, "By the way, I actually think you and that boy of mine are quite suitable."
These words made Yuyouzi furious in an instant.
Come again! !
That old bastard Garp had already come here once. At that time, he was driven crazy by Garp's nonsense about booking a baby to marry.
Although she was quite fond of Luffy, Yuyuko still regarded him as a younger brother, a very simple one. I like Luffy's boldness as a real man who dares to do things, which is kind of like missing his lost manhood.
I'm dating a guy, why don't you go by yourself?
So Youyouzi started spraying directly at the dragon. (This is also the reason why Long smoked after answering the phone)
Moreover, judging from Luffy's natural aura as a ruthless princess-hunting machine, he is not lucky at all! You two father and son are planning a game for him so early!
The bloodline of your Monchi family is really outrageous, can't you record some serious stuff in your DNA?
Youyouzi hung up the phone angrily. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
At this time, Bella came over and was about to talk about the arrangements for the rescued slaves, "Yuyuko's arrangements for those people..."
Before she could finish her words, Yuyouzi threw herself into Bella's arms, her head shaking from side to side involuntarily, "Ahhh, that's so disgusting, Long, that bastard with the tattoo on his face!"
Bella:……～(´ー｀～)
Then Bella chuckled, her body that was a little tense suddenly relaxed, she hugged Yuyouzi and sat on the throne.
"Hey, tell me what happened." At this moment, Bella decided to cooperate with Yuyuko's coquettishness to satisfy the childlike captain.
Besides, the interactions between girls are very serious.
Ke Na, who had just walked next to her, suddenly twitched the corners of her mouth. (╬◣д◢)The ruthless iron fist is ready to fire.
But now Reiju held her back.
"Let her be willful sometimes, and..." Reijiu showed a playful smile, "Isn't this kind of Yuyuko normal?"
Ke Na was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Suddenly I remembered that during this period, I always felt that something was wrong. Looking back, it was Yuyuko who didn't do what she did before.
But is Yuyuko who is no longer still the fool that everyone likes?
Yes and no.
In the past, Yuyouzi always made some inadvertent manipulations to lower her intelligence, which was commonly known as the second disease. She also took things for granted. But after this reunion, Ke Na always felt that something was wrong.
Now that I think about it, Yuyuko has become calmer, and many things don't seem to be acted upon without thinking as before.
For example, in the previous battle with the Golden Lion, Yuyouzi not only made arrangements in advance to divide the people into three waves to guard the ship, hold off the enemy, and rescue people, but also left room for action. Even if the rescue failed, he could still Leave calmly.
The change in her style of doing things made Kona happy with Yuyuko's growth while ignoring the alienation caused by Yuyuko's growth. If you think about this period of time together, Yuyouzi has gradually turned into a pure leader, and their relationship has gradually become like ordinary superiors and subordinates rather than friends who can speak their minds.
In fact, this is not entirely Yuyuko's fault. Everyone has become accustomed to the fact that Yuyuko should command as the captain, but they have ignored the fact that they can be together not because Yuyuko can command everyone.
Just like Bella, who is sitting on Yuyuko's "throne" at the moment, everyone is gathered here by the charm of her personality.
Suddenly an elbow hit his waist, "Haha, I'm jealous~"
Kona rolled her eyes and glanced at Reiju, "Do you think I would like this kind of thing? Let this idiot shake his head and act coquettishly among the fat lumps? It's simply ridiculous."
After saying that, she shook her head and turned around to leave. After taking two steps, Kona stopped and handed a few pieces of paper in her hand to Reijiu. "Since you want to stay and read, it's up to you to hand these over to her." That idiot would probably like it."
"what?"
"Just a list of property seized from this camp."
After speaking, the figure disappeared in a flash.
"Yeah, yeah, someone is actually shy~" As she said this, Reijiu gently covered her mouth and laughed. She just saw clearly that someone's eyes were a little panicked when they left.
"Ah, Yuyuko, you are so disgusting. You are playing with Sister Bella alone, and Mina is coming too!" Mina appeared out of nowhere and rushed up to join in.
Looking at this scene from a distance, Qishi couldn't stop twitching his lips.
"What should I do? I really want to join, but I already have a prince, and my body must belong to the prince. Moreover, that bastard Yuyuko actually spoke first..."
Qishi's mind was confused when she thought about what happened before.
It’s not that Qishi didn’t understand that both she and Youyouzi actually wanted to give each other face. She originally thought that both sides would be tense and waited for others to adjust. Then she and Youyouzi could use the Poxia donkey to get over this hurdle together. As a result, Youyouzi acted so shamelessly that she made the first move, which made it impossible for her to save face and admit her mistake.
"Ahhhhh! It's so annoying!"
Her hair was scratched into a chicken coop, and Qi Shi fell into a state of madness.
