Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 416: Fishman Island's Request
After thanking him in person and putting down the burden in his heart, Luo relaxed a lot. He looked bright and his face was filled with smiles.

"I don't think Marshal Sengoku knows that Vice Admiral Canglong knows so much information... Mr. Korra has been working silently behind the scenes as a spy. There are many righteous men in the navy like him."

"As a foster father, Marshal Zhan Guo's failure to express gratitude is the best way to remember Mr. Korra."

"what?"

Hearing this, Ron exclaimed and asked curiously, "Why, do you want to meet Mr. Cora's godfather?"

Luo's tone paused, then he nodded.

"It turns out that I can't hide it from the Navy Canglong."

"In addition to expressing my gratitude to you in person, another purpose of my coming to the Grand Line is to meet with Marshal Zhan Guo. I hope Vice Admiral Cang Long will help me!"

Even though Zhan Guo acted unruly in front of Ron, he was, after all, a powerful admiral of the navy. Except for the Five Elders above the government who had more power than him, the rest of them were just at the same level as him no matter how high their positions were.

How could it be easy to meet the Admiral without a qualified person to recommend him?

But then again, in the World Government, except for the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons, the other Navy Admirals, Army Marshals, CP1-9, the previous generation of Navy Admirals, this generation's Commander-in-Chief "Cyborg" Sora, and so on, all the others are just dogs who follow orders.

The Five Elders and the Tianlong people are the real core of the government; everyone else is just parts, existing to protect this "core".

"That's it..."

Ron narrowed his eyes and made a bold guess in his heart.

I'm afraid that Luo's desire to meet Sengoku is not just for Corazon!
However, Ron would not say this guess out loud, but nodded with a look of relief on his face.

"You were reborn because of Corazon. If you really count, Sengoku is also your elder. It would be nice to go and meet him."

"Okay, leave this to me! I can't stop a junior from meeting an elder, right?"

Jinbei smiled and didn't respond. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out the key point. However, Fujitora knew Ron's character very well, and knew that he must have some plan.

"Thank you, Lieutenant General Canglong!"

Luo calmed himself down and bowed again.

"By the way, I remember you said you came here with your companions, right? Go find them and get ready, we'll set off later."

Luo is not a fool. Hearing this, he subconsciously glanced at the other two Shichibukai and nodded: "Yes!"

Click...

The bolt was pulled gently. In the sky garden, Ron took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder what Mr. Jinbei wants to talk to me about today?"

The purpose of Ron coming here was just to see the guest Law. If there was nothing important, Fujitora would not let Jinbe appear here.

Jinbei knew that Ron was very scheming, so he didn't dare to be hypocritical: "Lieutenant General Canglong, I came here to discuss a cooperation with you."

Although Jinbe debuted earlier than Ron and has more experience, Dahai respects strength, and the older a person is, the more likely he is to be eliminated.

Now that Ron's combat power far exceeds Jinpei's, he couldn't help but lower his tone.

"Well, let's hear it."

Ron said calmly.

Jinbe is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the one with the heaviest burden among them, which lays a solid foundation for cooperation.

Ron didn't mind if it was possible.

Seeing this, Jinbei took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "I am here on behalf of King Neptune of Fishman Island, and would like to ask Vice Admiral Soryu to provide shelter for Fishman Island!"

"Um???"

Ron looked confused.

Then, Jinbe decisively explained the reason for doing so.

The source of the matter can be traced back to when he harmed Teach last year. In the battle of Beard Town, "Blackbeard" Teach, his long-time companion, left the Whitebeard Pirates. Afterwards, Whitebeard himself was pierced through the chest by Ron's halberd.

Admittedly, that minor injury was nothing to a monster like Whitebeard who stood at the top of the world, but afterwards Whitebeard was afraid of Ron's deterrent power, and the Whitebeard Pirates did not take any retaliatory action, let alone directly start a war like the madman Kaido, so that their reputation was greatly reduced.

As Whitebeard's reputation declined, the islands that accepted his protection were gradually affected.

Among them, Fishman Island, the New World gateway farthest from Whitebeard's territory, was the first to be hit.

200 years ago, the World Government signed an alliance with Fish-Man Island, incorporating it into the member states and making the slave trade illegal, thus curbing the situation of fish-men and mermaids being captured and sold on a large scale.

However, under the huge profits, this kind of thing still continues despite repeated bans. Especially after the beginning of the Great Pirate Era, Fishman Island has no way to stay out of trouble because of its special geographical location at the gateway to the New World.

Later, Whitebeard saw all this and generously endorsed his old friend "Sea Knight" Neptune. He planted the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates on Fishman Island, and finally suppressed this kind of thing.

Although the Sabaody Archipelago, as the back garden of the Celestial Dragons, still has many fish-men and mermaids being sold as commodities, anyone who dares to directly kidnap people on Fish-man Island will have the chance to make money but not the life to spend it.

No one dares to touch the title of "the strongest in the world" easily.

As a result, after the incident last year, people gradually realized that Whitebeard was not that great after all!

A vice admiral, or at most a candidate for admiral, is enough to make him timid and afraid to retaliate.

As a result, Fishman Island suffered.

Kidnapping incidents that had not occurred for several years began to occur frequently, giving Neptune a headache, but he was unwilling to let his old friend Whitebeard continue to put himself in danger.

So Jinbei came to see Ron.

To put it bluntly, the disaster on Fishman Island was entirely caused by the powerful navy. As government lackeys, Whitebeard was wary of them, so of course the rest of them would take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

However, Jinbei did not say so. He just flatteredly asked the Navy Soryu, which is now feared by the New World, to take action.

In return, Neptune was willing to pay the reward.

After listening to Jinbei's story, Ron kept silent, closed his eyes, tapped the table, and began to think about the pros and cons.

Jinbei looked at him nervously.

Neptune was helpless.

Either he continues to ask Whitebeard for help, but that might cause serious damage to Whitebeard, and Neptune can't bring himself to betray his friend in exchange for national peace.

Asking the navy and the government for help is undoubtedly inviting a wolf into the house.

Everyone knows that the navy is just a running dog of the government and cannot interfere with high-ranking government officials and nobles of various countries. These people happen to be the main force in purchasing slaves from Fishman Island.

"Mr. Jinbei originally wanted to seek help from the old blind man, but Century City has already exhausted me, so I can't help but be busy."

"Besides, Mr. Jinbei and I are both Shichibukai. If we openly unite, it will inevitably cause the government to make some bad assumptions."

Fujitora then explained why Jinbe was here, and smiled apologetically at Ron: "So I recommended you, Vice Admiral Soryu, to him... With your personal prestige, as long as you stand up and endorse Fishman Island, both the government and the pirates will give you a favor."

"Oh? I'm so proud of myself?"

Ron opened his eyes in amusement and glanced at Fujitora.

Fujitora smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

But he wasn't kidding.

In the year 1519 of the Haiyuan calendar, Ron's personal prestige was comparable to that of a navy admiral.

And because of a series of incredible battle records and past experiences, even the Four Emperors dare not provoke him easily.

Even within the government, they were backed by the Nibelungen family of Celestial Dragons, and they did something treasonous and attacked the Celestial Dragons, not only without saying anything, but also reporting it to the authorities and making it public.

Ron now has the reputation of a local tyrant, and he is also a member of the navy. There is nothing wrong with his status. He is a complete troublemaker and anyone who provokes him will suffer.

As long as he stood up and made a public statement, even if the slave trade was not completely resolved, Fishman Island could at least settle down and thrive.

Just one question…

Why? !

Why would Ron risk offending high-ranking officials of the Celestial Dragon government and royal families of various countries to endorse Fish-Man Island?

Moreover, if Whitebeard does this, even if he can understand the concerns of his old friend Neptune, what will the Whitebeard Pirates think?
When you are in the world of martial arts, you have no choice. The will of the masses is the best poison for a man like Whitebeard who values ​​his family.

and so……

"Tell me what your chips are, Jinpei!"

Ron looked at him sternly and said calmly, "Don't use the excuse that it is our duty to protect the allied countries. You are a pirate and I am a navy. I don't trust you!"

"So let's talk about something practical."
