Chapter 221 The Shichibukai (Part 2)

"I'm afraid it's impossible to relax." King Neptune shook his head and said, "With the opening of the 'Great Pirate Age', the pirates' power has expanded to a level that makes the world government afraid of them. This is absolutely impossible. What may happen... Therefore, the opportunity to kill one of the 'Four Emperors' is something the World Government absolutely does not want to miss..."

As the leader of a country, Neptune is still very concerned about the situation on the sea even though he is located in the deep sea, because there are many things related to the rise and fall of [Fishman Island].

For example, this incident of the 'Whitebeard Pirates' is strictly related to [Fishman Island].

If it loses the protection of the 'Whitebeard Pirates', [Mishman Island] will probably fall into turmoil again. Jinbe alone is not enough to deter the sea.

Among those who have the idea of ​​[Fishman Island], there are many forces under the great pirate. These forces may be afraid of 'Whitebeard', but they will not be afraid of Jinbe, the 'Kai Xia'.

Among the fish-men, there has never been a compatriot with the highest level of combat power. At most, it is only as high as Jinbei and the 'fish giant' Sebastian.

This kind of strength is enough to protect oneself on the sea, but it is not enough to protect the clan.

Therefore, the ‘Whitebeard Pirates’ are so vital to [Fishman Island], both emotionally and practically, they are indispensable.

"No, I have to stop this!" Jinbei suddenly said firmly.

"Don't mess around, Jinbe, you can't change this!" King Neptune heard what Jinbe said and immediately guessed his plan and said quickly.

"No matter what, it's impossible for me to deal with Dad. Even though I have an agreement with the World Government, Dad is very kind to [Fish-Man Island]. If I repay kindness with hatred, what kind of fish-man am I?" Jinbe said with great determination.

He respected King Neptune, but 'Whitebeard' respected him even more.

When he came to the Dragon Palace, he actually just informed King Neptune, not to ask for advice, because his actions this time are very likely to bring some trouble to [Mish-Man Island].

"I understand, you can decide for yourself. I am not qualified to ask you for anything. You have given enough to [Fishman Island] over the years. Even if there are any consequences for this, I believe everyone will understand." King Puton sighed deeply.

Things on the sea are not something he, the king of Fish-Man Island, can change.

Although he is a king, he can only affect a third of an acre of [Fishman Island].

"Jinbei, please be careful." Princess Otohime said worriedly.

"Yes!" Jinbei nodded heavily.

…

Revolutionary Army Headquarters, [White Earth Island] Baldigo.

Long Youzai, the leader of the 'Revolutionary Army', habitually stood on the balcony, looking towards the east, letting the wind blow across his face covered with strange lines.

At this moment, the iron door behind him was pushed open, and a huge figure walked in.

"Bear, you're here." Long suddenly said.

Coming from behind him was none other than the current 'Tyrant' Bartholomew Bear, one of the 'Shichibukai', a user with the superhuman top devil fruit 'Meat Ball Fruit' ability and astonishing strength. Even among the 'King's Seven Martial Arts', his strength is at the top, firmly ranked among the top three!

However, in addition to being the 'Ocean Shichibukai', he also has another identity, that is, he is a cadre of the 'Revolutionary Army'.

"What position should I stand on this matter?" Xiong asked succinctly.

"Our revolution is to overthrow the tyranny of the World Government, not simply to fight against the World Government and the Navy... The enemy of my enemy does not mean that I am a friend. A pirate is a pirate after all, so you only have to complete your duty. Okay." Long said calmly.

"I understand." Xiong nodded and said, "Ivankov seemed to have been imprisoned in the Deep Sea Prison Impeldown not long ago. Do you need me to do anything?"

"Well, I have already contacted him through secret channels. There is no need to rescue him specifically for the time being... According to the information I have received, the 'Deep Sea Prison' should undergo another major change soon, just like It's the same as when the 'Golden Lion' escaped. With Ivan's strength, it shouldn't be difficult to escape during the chaos." Long shook his head.

"good."

"How is the situation over there? I heard that the genius scientist 'Dr. Vegapunk' from the 'Naval Science Force' has been in contact with you recently. What do you think of this person?" Long asked.

"Unfathomable..." Xiong thought for a moment and used a more appropriate adjective.

"Oh?" Long's expression became slightly serious, "Do you even think it's unfathomable?"

"Yes." Xiong said bluntly, "I can't see through his strength, but he will definitely not be weaker than me... But that's not what I want to say. What really makes me feel unfathomable about him is his Wisdom, it seems that nothing can escape his eyes... He seems to have seen that I have an ulterior motive for becoming the 'Ocean Shichibukai', but he has no intention of exposing it."

"Then what exactly does he want to do when he contacts you?" Long asked doubtfully.

"He wants me to cooperate with him in completing some experiments, because he needs someone with at least the strength of a top-level pirate to cooperate with his experiments, but those with such strength in the navy may not be willing to cooperate with him... so he hopes that I can Become this experimenter," Xiong said.

"He wants to use your identity to threaten you?" Long's face was slightly cold.

"No, he said that everything is up to me voluntarily. Even if I don't agree, he won't reveal my identity... However, he also said that if I am willing to cooperate with him, he can give me many of the latest scientific research results of the 'Navy Science Force'..." "Bribery?" Long pondered, "Forget it, it's too risky." "No, I plan to accept his proposal." Xiong shook his head. "Xiong, you really don't have to do this. Although we are far behind the navy in scientific research, we can think of other ways. Why do you need to take risks?" Long disagreed with Xiong's point of view. "I stick to my opinion." Xiong said firmly, "Long, although you consider the problem more comprehensively than me, you have not seen the current situation of the 'Navy Science Force' with your own eyes, you don't understand how big the gap between us and them is... This gap, relying on our own research, will never catch up with the navy. He took me to visit many new research. If all these studies are finally used on the navy, our chances will become increasingly slim..." Hearing this, Long couldn't say anything to refute for a while. Because even if he was replaced by Xiong, he would probably make the same decision. "Okay, then I wish you good luck." Long solemnly extended his hand and shook hands with Xiong firmly to express his blessing. This is the way for revolutionary comrades to express their emotions.
