One Piece: The World's Strongest in Roger's Era

In the lakeside villa, Lex and Roy left without hesitation, leaving Venus room to think calmly.

Venus is now in a dilemma. As the highest authority in the world, the Five Elders actually need to send him as an envoy to humbly negotiate terms with Fenghuai Qianli and Lex.

The problem was that the Five Elders had already decided to agree to Lex's two conditions within their capabilities, which would be like shooting themselves in the foot. Venus strongly opposed this idea within her power at the time, but she did not expect Mercury, Saturn and others to insist on their decision.

According to Mercury's original words -

"Instead of offering something that Lex doesn't like, it's better to let Lex propose his own conditions and then bargain. This way, we can not only know exactly what Lex needs, but also infer his recent motives and ambitions based on what he wants, so we can be prepared."

Now, Venus recalled the discussion among the powers that be and wanted only to curse Mercury and the others for their stupidity.

No matter what method he thought of, he insisted that Lex come up with two conditions himself, and in the end he had to bargain on his own, like a shrew buying vegetables in the market.

But things have come to this point, no matter how aggrieved Venus is, he has to grit his teeth and get the job done, otherwise the other highest powers in the world will have something to hold over him in the future.

Venus was pondering alone in the villa in the middle of the lake. He actually didn't want to ask Lord Yim directly whether he should agree to Lex's two conditions.

This is really incompetent~

I want to lend Uranus (the king of heaven) to Lex for a year, and give Lex all the technological heritage of the huge kingdom.

If you put forward such conditions to Lord Yim, I think he would be so angry that he would laugh.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Venus will never look for Im, or even for other highest powers in the world.

Just as Venus was racking her brains to think of how to bargain with Lex, a small figure walked out of the lakeside villa. He had golden hair hanging down his shoulders, and his cold temperament revealed an indescribable nobility, and between his eyebrows was a warm smile that was always elusive.

Leon Oleini did not stop, but walked straight to Venus and sat down opposite Venus leisurely.

When Jin Xing saw that it was Oleini, he did not put on any airs. With a kind smile like an old grandfather on his face, he asked kindly:

"It's Oleini, aren't you going to your mother's party?"

“Isn’t Grandpa Izambaron here too?”

Venus was distracted for a moment by the name 'Grandpa Izambaron', but she quickly came to her senses and replied with a smile, "I don't like those lively occasions, and I've been troubled by a lot of things lately, so I'm not in the mood to attend the banquet."

Oleini understood, but did not say anything, nor did he have any intention of continuing to delve into the topic. He just quietly looked at the old man Venus in front of him.

Such behavior could not help but arouse Venus's curiosity, and he took the initiative to mention:

"Oleini, do you have anything you want to ask me? Or if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell grandpa. As the highest authority in the world, although not as powerful as your father, I still have some power."

Venus always has a caring and supportive attitude towards Leon Oleini. Regardless of emotion and reason, Venus will support the glory of this third generation of Leon.

In terms of blood, Oleini has a part of his blood flowing in his body.

Speaking from a personal perspective, I have helped Lex a lot over the years. Lex developed smoothly in the New World in the past few years, and he succeeded in conquering Mary Joa twice. I have contributed to this to some extent.

From a standpoint, he had been secretly playing two games since ten years ago. On the surface, he held the highest authority in the world, but in fact, he had been secretly communicating with Lex, standing on the same side flexibly, and changing his stance.

Oleini looked calm and just said:

"After the banquet, will Grandpa Izambaron return to Marijoa?"

Jin Xing nodded, and added, "That's right, and I'll take you with me to visit the Void Throne. Your father has told you about this, right?"

"Like I said, I have no objection."

"That's good. The Void Throne is still very friendly to you... In fact, the Void Throne has never been hostile even to your father. The two great wars were initiated by Lex. The Void Throne has never deliberately targeted Lex because there are other enemies. This has never changed."

Venus said these words earnestly, her eyes staying on Oleini, wanting to see the reaction of this third-generation glory of Leon, but unfortunately, there was no change on Oleini's face from beginning to end, and Venus could not get any information from Oleini.

This is a being similar to Lex, Venus said secretly.

Oleini spoke in a light tone:

"Whether it's other enemies or not, I want to ask Grandpa Izambaron, is the purpose of this visit your opinion or the joint decision of the Holy Land?"

After hearing these words, Jin Xing finally understood the purpose of Oleini appearing in front of her, it turned out to be 'father and son fighting together'.

Lex first proposed two very high conditions, and then Oleini came forward to give Venus a chance, what a great father and son team up.

Jin Xing instantly became alert, but her expression remained kind and gentle as she asked back:

"Why would little Oleini care about these things? But if you are curious, it's okay for Grandpa to tell you. Obviously, these are all collective decisions made by the Holy Land. I am just conveying them. You should know that I always maintain an objective position. As for the Holy Land's intentions, I cannot influence them alone. But to be fair, the things proposed by the Holy Land this time are reasonable and the conditions given are quite sincere. It's just that your father is used to bullying the Holy Land. When encountering such a thing, he must be thinking of ripping the Holy Land off. I can understand that."

After saying this, Venus herself felt that she was acting righteously.

In his words, the Holy Land became an image of justice and majesty, Lex became a villain who was greedy, tyrannical and tyrannical, and he himself was an honest man caught between the two sides and could not back down.

Oleini smiled gently, full of sarcasm:

"Oh? Then as my father's son, will the Holy Land also hate me? After all, my father is so ungrateful and has repeatedly bullied the Holy Land, always thinking of taking advantage of it."

Venus had a strange look on her face. When facing the blond boy in front of her, Venus always felt that she was facing Lex. The way these father and son spoke was exactly the same.

It seems plain as water, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that it always reveals a weird taste.

Venus looked helpless:

"Oleini, are you trying to say that I did something wrong by not agreeing to your father's conditions? However, you should also think from another perspective. Everyone has difficulties, so why can't we all take a step back?"

Oleini grasped the key point in Venus's words and immediately continued:

"Okay, let's both take a step back. How about the Holy Land giving up the matter of Roger's orphan in the South China Sea? Of course, my father will also give up one condition. Naturally, the Holy Land will definitely not suffer any loss. The matter of Roger's orphan in the South China Sea will be dissipated in Qinghai from now on, and there will be no Roger bloodline in the world. How do you think?"

Venus was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He stared at the blond boy in front of him, trying hard to see something from his eyes, but to no avail.

Venus asked back:

"Is this what you mean, or what your father means?"

Oleani was calm and composed:

"I could also mean father."

Although there is no direct answer, this ambiguous answer already explains everything——

Leon Oleini has been fully trained as the heir.

There was something different in the look in Venus's eyes when she looked at Oleini than before. It was a kind of respect that one would only show to a superior.

Venus had only shown this kind of respect to two people in her life, Im and Lex.

Oleni was the third.

Venus replied seriously:

"Okay, I'll agree to your terms, but of your father's two conditions, I can only agree to the one about the giant kingdom's technology. Uranus is absolutely impossible."

Oleini smiled and stood up: "Okay, happy communication."

Outside the lakeside villa——

Gion looked around but couldn't find Oleini. She didn't have the habit of using her Observation Haki anytime and anywhere, so she asked Lex beside her:

"Where's my son?"

Lex and Roy smiled at each other and replied immediately:

"He's making the decision for me, trying to take over this ocean."

Gion rolled his eyes and left in a bad mood:

"Talking in a mysterious way~"

"Hmm~"
