Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Although the Flying Pirates have been completely controlled and the leader, the Golden Lion, is firmly bound in a water prison, leaving such a hidden danger on the ship is not a good thing after all.

So, the next day, after recovering a little strength, Lin Zhi briefly explained the situation to the Navy through a phone call, and then drove the Infinite Dream through the clouds of the white sea and headed for the Navy's headquarters, Marineland.

With the Infinite Dream's current power, it would only take a day at most to go back and forth between the air island and the Navy headquarters.

So the only ones traveling with them were the Idiot Goddess and Escanor, while the other companions stayed on Angel Island to wait for news.

This is where Lin Zhi is cautious. Even if the current Navy Headquarters can barely be regarded as an "ally", the whole group will not be in great danger in the past.

But he still left an extra layer of protection.

This kind of personnel arrangement is actually very particular. Needless to say, Aqua would make big noises from time to time. Without seeing this guy around, Lin Zhi would always feel uneasy like a ray of light on his back.

Even the Five Old Stars and the Knights of God are unable to match this!

I really can't live without Aqua - from the point of view of the idiot goddess knowing about it, she will definitely get furious.

As for Escanor, it was natural to take him, who had just traveled to the world of pirates, to learn about the navy camp.

It was early in the morning. Under normal circumstances, when he arrived at the Navy Headquarters, it was the noon time when he was most powerful, which could ensure that unexpected situations were within control.

For example, the golden lion suddenly escaped, the navy headquarters set a trap in advance, and so on.

The accompanying Aqua can also suppress the uncontrolled explosion of heat in his body, which is considered the best combination.

Meow Meow, who stayed on Angel Island, was not idle either. He simultaneously smelted gold and combined it with Valpo alloy according to the model given by Lin Zhi to start creating an "artifact" that was most suitable for Escanor.

Kangna and the second-generation machine king are responsible for combat power, so it is necessary to stay on the island to ensure nothing goes wrong.

After a somewhat boring air voyage, soon the majestic crescent-shaped island below appeared in view.

The word "Justice" engraved on the tall building is extremely eye-catching. If ordinary pirates and thugs just glimpse these two words from a distance, they will be frightened and run away.

Whether it is the prestigious Four Emperors, the shrewd and cunning King Shichibukai, the steadily rising revolutionary army, or the secretly planned underground world, these powerful groups are certainly terrifying, but...

The undoubted king of this sea, at least at this stage of modern times, is definitely the navy!

"It's just that those potholes on it look like marks that were attacked by something. What's going on?"

Lin Zhi keenly captured the fact that Malinfando, which has always been impregnable, has scattered large and small pits, whether it is the main building in the front or the family living area in the back.

At this time, workers wearing safety helmets were performing emergency repairs and maintenance.

This discovery made him frown slightly, puzzled.

Normally, anyone with a clear mind would not be stupid enough to attack Marinefando, right?

Even if there were, it would be unlikely to leave such a degree of damage!

With this doubt, Lin Zhi released the flight mode of the Infinite Dream during the last part of the journey, and instead approached Malinfando through ordinary navigation.

Even if the mast is hung with the goddess flag representing the restaurant on the sea, landing from the sky so hastily will inevitably cause high tension in the navy.

As they were informed in advance, the Infinite Dream sailed in head-on without encountering any obstruction. It slowly arrived at Marine Vendone Bay and docked at a special port.

As soon as they got off the ship, a navy team exuding invisible oppression came over.

The dense cloak of justice flutters in the sea breeze.

Those present were actually all officers from the headquarters above the rank of general and colonel!

The leader was an old acquaintance of Lin Zhi, the Navy Headquarters General Fo Zhi Seng Guo.

Next to him stood Lieutenant General Tsuru with a calm expression, and slightly behind him was Alternate General Akainu Sakaski, and several other Lieutenant Generals with names.

Even Lin Zhi did not expect that the opponent would send such a luxurious lineup.

But when I thought about it, I understood that the person who needed to be taken in this time was Shi Ji, a golden lion who had been absconding for many years.

After all, the name of the legendary pirate is there. In the original book, just an attack by an old Whitebeard requires them to gather more than 100,000 troops to prepare for it!

"I didn't expect to meet again so soon, Lin Zhi."

Warring States was the first to speak, with deep emotion revealed in his words.

When he learned that Lin Zhi and his gang actually defeated the Flying Pirates and captured the Golden Lion alive, his first reaction was disbelief.

As a strong man from the old era, he knew the strength and character of the Golden Lion very well. Even if he really encountered Lin Zhi's group and was defeated, it was more likely that he would fight to the death rather than just surrender.

"I didn't expect to come to Malinfando again, Mr. Warring States." Lin Zhi greeted Warring States with a smile.

While speaking, he paid part of his attention to Sakaski behind him.

In the previous battle outside the Seven Waters Capital, he did not encounter the future naval marshal.

Putting aside his controversial behavior, this guy's combat power cannot be underestimated, and he may become the navy's most powerful enemy in the future!

As if sensing Lin Zhi's gaze, Sakaski raised his lowered eyes to look at him.

The depths of his scorching gaze were filled with raging fighting intent that was difficult to conceal.

From his close friend Porusalino, he knew very well that the danger level of the young man in front of him was unmatched by other Shichibukai!

Beyond that, Sakaski regretted not seeing the weird little girl.

The brief encounter with Kangna last time still haunts him to this day.

A dignified candidate for the admiral of the Navy Headquarters was actually punched away by a six or seven-year-old girl. Such an experience would be forever painful for anyone.

"Where's the golden lion?"

Due to the current situation, Warring States did not have much thought about reminiscing about the past, but went straight to the point.

"He is being held on our ship."

Lin Zhi turned to Escano, whose muscles were bulging, and said, "Escano, please take the marines over and bring down the Golden Lion and others."

"Who is this?" Warring States asked doubtfully.

Even without the need to sense Haki, one can tell from his strong body and the light heat naturally emitting from the surroundings that this strange man is not trivial, he is definitely a powerful person!

"Escano, our new partner just joined." Lin Zhi waved his hand candidly.

Hearing this, Zhan Guo lowered his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

He has basically met or heard of all the members of the Sea Restaurant, but this man named Escano has no memory at all!

"It's really unparalleled charm..." Warring States sighed softly.

Compared to the Chambord Islands, Lin Zhi's group's current strength and lineup are much stronger, not even weaker than those four emperors entrenched in the New World!

This kind of growth rate shocked him, a "naval think tank" who had seen strong winds and waves.

No wonder even the Golden Lion Pirates were defeated by them!

After a brief greeting and acquaintance, under the leadership of Escanor, Sakaski led a group of generals to board the Infinite Dream.

Walking on this magical ship that can sail on land, sea and air at will, Sakaski, who had been here once before, had a gloomy face and a lot of emotions in his heart.

Perhaps even he himself did not expect that boarding the ship again would lead to such a scene of harmonious coexistence.

The accompanying generals were even more amazed. Even the most ordinary cabin deck could attract their attention.

In today's world, who doesn't know about this most advanced miracle ship?

It is said that the World Government has invested a lot of money to start building new warships with the same functions.

Thinking of the unimpeded sea, land and air traffic when going on missions in the future, these naval officers could not hide the joy on their faces.

There is no doubt that this will be a historic improvement for the dominance of the entire navy!

It was a little regrettable that Sakaski and Escanor, two tough guys who were also known for their fiery abilities, just walked side by side with indifferent expressions, without any verbal communication.

Both of them have dull and arrogant personalities, and the current position between the enemy and ourselves is still unclear, so naturally they don't bother to say more.

——Although they are both attracted to each other's aura.

During the time when Sakaski took over the Golden Lion Pirates, Aqua, who couldn't sit still, rolled her eyes and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Sengoku.

"Hey, old man, Chambord Islands, thank you for your mercy!"

With the stupid goddess' stubborn mind of seeking revenge, it was naturally impossible to see the true situation of the Chambord Islands at that time.

The reason why the whole thing became clear was due to Lin Zhi's subsequent explanation to her and her friends.

"..."

Such a straightforward and unexpected thank you made Zhan Guo's mouth twitch and he almost jumped.

My eldest sister, this is the Navy Headquarters!

When I was in the Shampoo Islands, not only did I try my best to release the water, but at least I turned a blind eye!

Why do you want to put me to death? !

well……

Lin Zhi pulled Aqua behind him with a headache on his face.

Following this idiot, I really can’t slack off for a second...

Upon hearing this explosive news, the generals and commanders standing behind Warring States turned their heads away one after another, pouting and blowing air, as if they had not heard any words.

They are all veterans and recruits brought out by Warring States and Garp. They know very well what they can listen to and what they cannot listen to.

"Ms. Aqua seems to be more outspoken than rumored."

Even though the calm He was helpless, he held his forehead and shook his head gently.

"Of course, this goddess has always been upright!" Aqua raised her chest proudly.

Idiot, the word "straightforward" in people's words is not a compliment at all, okay?

Lin Zhi complained crazily in his heart.

He really didn't want to talk more about this topic. He glanced at the devastated Marine Fando behind him and asked casually:

"By the way, Mr. Sengoku, I see that there are many damages here. Did you encounter any attack?"

As the base camp of the navy, with several admiral-level officers stationed there, Marinevando's defense power is absolutely terrifying.

Lin Zhi showed a strong interest in a person who could cause such damage to such a fortified place.

A strong man who is so hostile to the navy might be a powerful aid to him in his fight against the World Government in the future!

Speaking of this, Warring States put away his painting style, and his expression became very serious.

Thinking that such a shameful thing could not be concealed no matter what, Lin Zhi was the King of the Shichibukai who had a cooperative relationship with the Navy Headquarters, so he put down his scruples and roughly explained the situation.

"To be honest, we still don't know who did it."

"Late last night, several large pieces of land suddenly fell from the sky above Marineventor."

"Although Porusalino and Sakaski, who stayed at the headquarters, responded immediately and destroyed most of the land, some of the scattered rubble still hit Marinevando head-on."

"Marshal Kong showed great anger over this. I must find the person who carried out the sneak attack. Until now, I still have no clear clue."

At this point, Seng Guo's brows knitted together.

The biggest suspect is undoubtedly the Four Emperors of the New World. It is not difficult to pull off such a big deal with the power of those monsters.

But the information transmitted by the surveillance ship showed that there was no movement at all from their side.

After thinking about it, Seng Guo still couldn't figure out which guy with a wet brain was so idle that he dared to confront the navy like this!

"Rebuilding Marineland requires a lot of money. The Golden Lion Pirates' bounty is too large, so the Navy may not be able to pay the entire bounty at once."

Having said it all, Warring States simply brought up the task that Cyborg Kong had given before accepting the Golden Lion - credit.

However, just when he looked up to observe Lin Zhi's face and attitude, he found an inexplicable and strange look in the eyes of the young man in front of him.

Aqua, who was standing next to him, turned his head and whistled inexplicably.

The goddess of water, who claims to be upright and upright, is now panicking.

"Lin Zhi?"

Warring States thought that the other party was trying to refuse, so he asked tentatively.

"Ahem."

Lin Zhi coughed awkwardly, "No, it's okay. No matter what, we are still a cooperative relationship now, and it doesn't matter if the reward is slightly delayed."

"On behalf of the Navy, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you!"

Although Warring States had doubts in his heart, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he has completed the task assigned by Marshal Kong.

"There's one more thing I hope you can keep secret."

Bounty rules have always been the navy's main means of suppressing pirates.

If those profit-seeking bounty hunters knew about the credit issue, the impact would be hard to say!

"Don't worry, I understand."

Lin Zhi nodded heavily, his eyes showing more sincerity than ever before, "I have calculated the entire bounty of the Golden Lion Pirates, and the total is 6.853 billion."

"We are old acquaintances, so just forget about the last digits, just 6.8 billion."

I've wiped out the small change for you. If you find out some inside story about the island's destruction of the headquarters, you can't come to me again for compensation.

? ?

Such a talkative attitude made Warring States a little confused.

Is this still the extremely evil Lei Linzhi he knows who is only interested in profit and doesn't even give face to the Five Old Stars and the Knights of God?

Sure enough, my face still matters~

Sengoku, who was worried about the attack on his headquarters, suddenly felt a lot more happy.

After successfully completing the handover task of the Golden Lion Pirates, Lin Zhiwan, who had a guilty conscience, declined Sengoku's invitation to have tea in the office.

After loading the four billion Baileys given by the Warring States Period onto the ship, the time and place for the final payment were determined.

He took Aqua, who was also guilty, and Escanor, who was confused, and ran back to the Infinite Dream in despair, setting sail directly and leaving this place of right and wrong.

"Strange, why do I feel like that kid is hiding something from us?"

Looking at the Infinite Dream's escape-like ejection, Crane, with deep eyes, whispered.

"I must be planning some shocking event again. Sooner or later, this brat will turn the whole world upside down." Warring States sighed.

This is true. After several contacts, he vaguely saw the potential of Lin Zhi to rival or even surpass Roger!

"Jie hahaha! Warring States, He, do you also realize the power contained in that kid?!"

The rough and familiar laughter interrupted the conversation between the two of them. Looking sideways, they saw it was the golden lion whose whole body was tightly entangled with sea tower stone chains.

He did not hear the conversation between Warring States and Lin Zhi just now about the island descended from the sky.

"Shiji, to be honest, I really didn't expect to see you again in this situation."

Seeing this former opponent, Seng Guo couldn't help but express infinite emotion on his face.

Scenes from the old days appeared before my eyes.

Golden Lion, who understood the meaning of the Warring States words, smiled calmly and said calmly: "I am convinced that I lost at the hands of a man like that."

"The era that belongs to us will eventually be replaced by brand-new blood. You should also feel a little powerless, right?"

"It's better to keep your meaningless trash talk with the director of Impel Down City."

Warring States waved his hand, signaling Sakaski to escort the golden lion to the underwater prison.

This was a decision made by the senior officials after they learned that the Golden Lion had been captured.

In today's new world, where the situation is changing rapidly and the heroes are divided, rashly carrying out a public execution of the Golden Lion will only make the already battered navy even more difficult to cope with.

The executions were carried out secretly and quietly without any deterrent effect, and billions of bounties were given away in vain.

In this way, the Golden Lion, who had just stepped into Marineland for three minutes, was escorted to the navy warship that had been prepared in advance.

There is a convenient passage for navigation between the Navy Headquarters and the Undersea Prison Impel City.

Passing the Gate of Justice and sailing at full speed along the current, the warship led by Sakaski soon arrived at Impel Down City.

Magellan, who was the warden at the time, lined up to welcome him and drove the golden lion into the sixth-level prison, unknown to the world, where the most vicious pirate was imprisoned.

Returning to this dark and humid place, Golden Lion would be lying if he said he was not depressed.

However, just when he put away his complicated emotions, he found a corner to sit down and prepare to be quiet.

In the cell next door, a black shadow as strong as an iron tower successfully caught his attention.

"He really has a really bad old man here..." the other party said solemnly.

Even though he was a prisoner, the domineering and coercive words emanating from his words still made people shudder.

"You are the intern on Roger's ship..."

Shiji's pupils shrank slightly, "Douglas Barrett?!" (End of this chapter)
