One Piece: God Killer

Now, it was Profik's turn to fall silent. Morana, the young gang leader of the Black Constellation, seems to be much more responsible than he thought.

Do you still have to go even though you know you may be in danger? He is an admirable guy who knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to travel to the tiger mountains. From a childish girl with a bad personality to an admirable guy, Profik's view of Morana has changed dramatically.

Morana expressed that she wanted to talk to Profik alone, so Hete, Matifa, Gao Shifu, as well as the doctor and his patient, Buck, temporarily left the room, leaving the space for Morana and Profik.

After everyone left, Morana suddenly began to talk about things related to Lafitte and the king:

"The Lafitte who attacked me just now is the captain of the Star Kingdom's guards, and the strongest guy in this country besides Black Te. However, today is the first time I have seen him display the power of the 'Devil Fruit' .”

Unlike the store owner who refers to Devil Fruit abilities as "superpowers," Morana directly uses the name Devil Fruit, which directly proves that she has a certain understanding of Devil Fruits.

"Devil Fruit, you should know, right? After all, your sister and Gao Shifu are both ability users?" Morana originally thought that Profic was already very strong, but he didn't expect that there were two people with abilities in their team. By.

Profik nodded, indicating that Morana's guess was correct.

Molana continued: "I don't know where Lafitte came from. According to the king, he is a distant relative of the king's family. What is certain is that when Horus was still a prince, Lafitte was with him. After his father passed away, the old king's health deteriorated. It was during this time that Lafitte appeared in the palace and became Horus' confidant."

"Last year, on the old king's birthday, a banquet was held as usual. Originally, Heite and I were also invited. But unexpectedly, news suddenly came that the old king's condition had deteriorated. At that time, it was Lafitte who came to deliver the message! There was regret in Morana's tone, "If I had known that time, I should have gone to the palace immediately. But I didn't expect that that night, the news came out that the old king had passed away and the third prince Horus was appointed as the new king. .”

In a few words, there was not much explanation or speculation, but Morana quickly constructed a narrative in which the death of the old king was quite strange, and the new king and Lafitte were involved in it.

"At that time, the entire country was immersed in grief, so it complied with the old king's last wish. Unexpectedly, after King Horus succeeded to the throne, he first asked Lafitte to kill his brother on the charge of treason, and then He took back all the power to himself. At this time, he set his sights on Xingxing Port again. "

"Star Port is the richest port in this country. When the old king was alive, this port has always been in a state of autonomy. There is nothing to hide. The so-called autonomy actually means that it is under the jurisdiction of our Black Constellation. In exchange, Star Port will replace The entire country pays the heavenly gold levied by the world government every year." Molana did not hide the situation of the Star Port. "Since the new king took office, he has always wanted to seek direct management of the Star Port. To be honest, the Star Port is after all. It is understandable that the king wants to manage this part of the Star Kingdom. If he is really talented in governing the country, it would not be a bad idea to hand over the management to him, but King Horus is really..."

Morana began to enumerate the "political achievements" of the new king Horus, which were similar to what the cannery shop owner said. They were all ridiculous and unreasonable decrees.

"Due to different opinions on taxation and management rights, the relationship between Black Constellation and the royal family has reached a freezing point. On several occasions, a direct conflict almost broke out. Just three days ago, the king suddenly sent Lafitte to blackmail us. The constellation conveys the willingness to negotiate." Molana said, "The time is agreed to be the day after tomorrow, and the location is in the palace. A decision must be made on the status and governance of Star Port."

"Although the king has always been unreliable, Heit and I both feel that this is an opportunity to reach some consensus, which is of course good. Even if we cannot reach a consensus, it can still show that our Black Constellation is willing to negotiate with the royal family. I heard that 'the name is true, the word is true'. In this way, even if the royal family wants to fall out, they will have to weigh it carefully. This is why I don't want you to have a conflict with the royal family in these two days."

"Why are you telling me this?" Profik asked. Generally speaking, what Morana said was very similar to that of the cannery shop owner. The new information was mainly concentrated in two days. Afterwards, Black Constellation negotiated with the king. However, negotiations are, after all, the internal affairs of the Star Kingdom. Although Profik admires Morana's courage to negotiate with the king under such circumstances, the possibility that he can help is not high.

"I heard that the reason why tigers are so majestic is because of the help of mountains and forests. The reason why mountains and forests are mysterious and deep is because of the existence of tigers." Morana said her concerns very calmly, but from her tone , can still faintly hear the worry, "Once the tiger leaves the mountain forest, it will allow hunters to find good opportunities, and once the mountain forest loses the tiger, it will not be able to deter the young people. This principle of course also applies to the situation of the Black Constellation. If If I go alone, the king may directly capture me and force Black Constellation to submit. If I go with Heite, the king may let Lafitte directly lead people to forcibly control the Star Port. No matter which situation occurs, the situation is They will fall into passivity. This is the way to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and this is what worries me."

Profik nodded while listening. Apart from the strange sentence pattern of "I heard", Morana's analysis of the situation was quite reasonable. If the king takes the initiative to negotiate, he will be able to take the initiative. If Black Constellation does not go, then he will be at a moral disadvantage. And if he sends someone to go, as Morana said, Black Constellation will be in danger of focusing on one thing and losing the other. among. I just don't know what way she can think of to "break the situation"...

Morana stood up and said very solemnly: "I hope that when Heit and I go to the Star King Palace, you and your partners will help guard the Star Port! By then, all other members of the Black Constellation will Follow your instructions!"

The girl suddenly knelt down in front of Profik and said loudly, "This is what I want to ask you for help with!"
