I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

In the center of the mottled square of Egghead Island, the Straw Hat Pirates sat around the ruins, eating barbecue and listening to Old Bay slowly telling the forgotten history.

"Vegapunk, even if what you said is true, you shouldn't say it out loud..." the bound Kizaru muttered to himself.

Beside him, Dashigi looked at Kizaru in a daze: "The disappearance of the Kingdom of Lulucia was caused by the World Government... Have the people there been relocated?"

Old Huang said tactfully, "I know very little about this matter, but from what I understand, not long ago the Kingdom of Lulucia sided with the Revolutionary Army to rebel against the World Government and the nobility. Many of them have joined the Revolutionary Army, so they may no longer receive the Navy's protection."

Dashigi's eyes widened in disbelief. "Just because some of them joined the Revolutionary Army, the world government is going to wipe out all the lives in an entire country without distinguishing right from wrong?"

However, Kizaru could only remain silent. Lucci, standing beside him, had a cold look in his eyes. "To the Celestial Dragons, they are nothing more than ants that can only be slaves. Although some harm will befall innocent people, the ability to display the terrifying power to destroy an island at will will undoubtedly be the most effective deterrent and warning to the Revolutionary Army and those who oppose the World Government."

"Lucci, that's far too cruel," Kaku said, annoyed. "If the world government had used the same horrific weapons as in the Egghead incident, we'd have died here too. Even if they were trying to deter others, they should have tried to divert as many good people as possible."

The green algae-headed man had been listening intently to Tashigi's reaction, but when he overheard Kaku's remarks, he mercilessly rebuked him: "Bah, giraffe, do you have any shame? You're a dog spy with blood on your hands, and you still call yourself a good person?"

Kaku turned into a fishman and said, "When you talk about others, think about your own identity first! Although I am a spy and my hands are stained with blood, I am also a member of the world government. Compared with ordinary people, I am not a good person, but compared with pirates like you who killed hundreds of bounty hunters at a disagreement, I am much better."

The green algae-head was stunned: "Oh, now that you put it that way, it seems like we are the bad guys."

"No, no, no, it's not us, it's you, you are a kidnapper." The man with curly eyebrows looked disdainful.

Before Green Algae Hair could get angry, Old Bei sighed, "I've always believed that good and evil can't be determined so superficially. Maybe I'm not a good person, but at the very least, I yearn for peace. So, I must ask you for one thing. No matter what, don't hand over the Fusion Furnace and York to them."

"Of course! If I let them destroy the world on their own initiative, how can I hold a party with the whole world!" Luffy was in a bad mood and snorted.

"In that case, if Akainu insists on fusing Kabuto and York, then there's no room for negotiation." The green algae-haired man held his forehead helplessly.

"Ahaha, since there is nothing to talk about, let's let them go in order not to provoke Marfa, Zoro. After all, we still have to go to Raftel, and we can't be delayed by this matter." Usopp seized the opportunity to intervene. As everyone knows, the Usopp never likes fighting and killing, and he prefers to keep things peaceful.

Nami immediately objected: "That won't work! We can lower the price. If 10 billion doesn't work, we can lower it to 5 billion!"

"Fifty billion! It's a pity I don't have Lao Sha's phone number, otherwise I could ask Bucky and the others how much they offered." The green-haired man muttered to himself.

"Eh? Buggy? Are they rich?" Luffy widened his eyes.

The green algae-headed man looked disdainful and said, "Can you offer a bounty to the navy if you don't have money? You should learn how to be a Four Emperor instead of just eating all day. Look at the others. They were all people who used to live in the East China Sea. Why is there such a big difference?"

"Nonsense! Nami said we have a lot of treasures too!" Luffy immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

The green algae-headed man said with disdain: "Bah, that was given to me by someone who did good deeds. In Luo's words, pirates actually do good deeds, which makes people feel sick. Our main business should be robbing the rich and giving to the poor like me!"

Everyone looked disgusted.

Luffy even stuck out his tongue with a look of disgust: "Tsk, green-haired Kaido!"

The man with curly eyebrows made the same face: "Damn green algae head!"

This gave the speechless green algae-haired man a chance to break through. He grinned at the curly-browed man and said, "Shut up, fifth place!"

"Huh? Bastard! I want to challenge you to a duel!"

"Come on, you inferior pirate, your bounty is only a quarter of mine."

Seeing a brawl about to break out, Nami immediately displayed her stunning domineering aura to suppress the two men. "Hey! We have to deal with the navy first. Since the fusion reactor and York can't be handed over to the navy no matter what, we can lower the price to 50 billion. If that doesn't work, we can lower it further. If the navy won't even give 1 million, then we won't cause any trouble and just leave them here."

"I agree!" Usopp agreed with both hands and prayed secretly in his heart: Akainu, you must not spend a penny!

The green algae-haired man held his forehead slightly: "The bottom line is so low, it's really embarrassing."

"Okay! It's decided! Let them go and we'll set sail for Elbaf!" Luffy clapped his hands.

state! !

The captain's hasty decision was immediately met with a rebuke from the two misers: "We haven't discussed it yet! Bastards!"

So, the green algae-haired guy picked up Kizaru's Den Den Mushi and called the Marine Headquarters.

As soon as the Den Den Mushi answered, the green algae-headed man got straight to the point: "Hey! Akainu, we've made a deal! No talk about the Fusion Reactor and York, but for the rest, you take the 50 billion! Think about it, the Five Elders are among them! If anything happens to him, you won't be able to explain it."

However, there was no response from the Den Den Mushi for a long time.

The green algae-headed man frowned and said, "Hey, hey! Akainu, stop playing dumb!"

At this moment, a voice came from the Den Den Mushi: "Satan... Er was actually captured alive by... Joy Boy!"

When Satan heard the voice of the Den Den Mushi, his eyes widened in terror. With his mouth sealed with tape, he struggled to make a sound: "Ugh!!"

The Straw Hat Pirates and everyone present frowned upon seeing this.

The green algae-headed man listened to the strange voice and her attitude towards Satan Sheng, and realized who the owner of the voice was. He was about to tear off the tape on Satan Sheng's mouth.

Saint Satan's expression was extremely distorted, his whole body began to tremble, and then he raised his head and a raging black flame ignited on his body inexplicably.

"Eh? Is this his ability to heal himself? Isn't he handcuffed by seastone?" Luffy widened his eyes.

However, immediately afterwards, Saint Satan rolled his eyes, as if a strange power was surging in him. His face, which was originally full of vitality and majesty, seemed to be ruthlessly eroded by the years. It became withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and deep wrinkles were carved on his face like ravines.

At the same time, his burly body began to emit dazzling black lightning, as if it was a call from hell, emitting a heart-pounding breath, as if it was going to devour everything around it.

As the black lightning continued to erupt, Saint Satan's body gradually lost its original brilliance. Finally, under the astonished gaze of everyone, his body slowly turned into a gloomy skeleton.

Immediately afterwards, a withered skull fell to the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of decay and death, which made people shudder.

"Ah!!!" Nami, Usopp and others couldn't suppress their inner fear and screamed.

Kizaru, Dor and CP0 also widened their eyes in disbelief.

The others frowned, and Luffy yelled in surprise: "Hey! He...he turned into Brook!!"

"Luffy, are you polite?" Brook said with a dark skull.

At this time, a hoarse voice came out from the Den Den Mushi again: "Mumu has two things to discuss with you. In addition, I have a question for you, Roronoa Zoro..."

Lao Bei's eyes were solemn. As far as he knew, the Five Elders were the highest authority in the world. But seeing the highest authority being killed in such a cruel way right before his eyes made him shudder. "Who are you?"

Robin also opened his eyes wide, with a trace of cold sweat on his face: "Same question."

"You don't need to know. I won't answer."

The green algae-haired man frowned slightly. He hadn't expected Akainu's Den Den Mushi to be in that person's hands, nor had he expected to come into contact with that person so soon. "What do you want to talk about? What do you want to ask?"

"The mother fire developed by Vegapunk is useful to Mu. If you are willing to hand over the fusion furnace, Mu will cancel the bounty on all of you except Joyboy and allow you to live in Mary Geoise. If you can bring Joyboy back to the Holy Land, you will become new nobles, inheriting wealth and prosperity forever."

"Joey Boy? Who?" Luffy looked confused.

The man with curly eyebrows took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "Joey Boy, you mean Luffy, right?"

"Huh?" Luffy was furious and picked up the Den Den Mushi: "I'm not some Joy Boy, I'm Monkey D. Luffy! The man who will become the Pirate King!"

"D..."

Then, the Straw Hat Pirates all smiled and said in unison: "We refuse!"

"Haven't you been around for so long just to gain some fame? You can cancel it just like that. Don't you want to save face? Forget it. If you have anything else to ask, I'll ask you some questions after you finish."

"Joey Boy's companions are still stubborn and recalcitrant. Roronoa Zoro, what's the principle behind your gigantism? As far as I know, it's not the power of the fruit, but science, right?"

The green algae-haired man was honest: "To be honest, I'm not sure. If I have to say what kind of academic discipline it is, it should be considered metaphysics."

"Metaphysics? It seems that you don't want to tell the truth to Mu. Then we can only capture you and Joyboy and bring them back to the Holy Land first."

"Hey, it's up to you. Now that we've met the boss, how about we talk about the ransom? Without Saint Satan, we still have Kizaru and the others. If you have the guts, kill someone from a distance and let me see you."

"Mum has no interest in them. Even Joey Boy and his companions, who were powerful eight hundred years ago, were defeated by Mu. Since you have chosen to resist, then wait for death to come."

Drop drop drop...

Huh? All that work for nothing?

The green algae-headed man immediately became furious and smashed the Den Den Mushi in his hand to the ground: "Old turtle! How dare you hang up on me!!"
