The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Oops! Miscalculation! !

As soon as Golden Lion said this, Luo suddenly felt like he had been deceived, but what the other person said was reasonable.

It was he who first 'set the time for the alliance', seemingly taking advantage, and then the other party tried to 'set the goal of the alliance' based on reason. Now he couldn't find anything to refute.

"...Okay, but before that, I have a question to ask you."

"Tell me."

"Why did you choose supernovae like us? I know that 200 to 300 million supernovae like us can still survive in the first half of the Grand Line, but in the new world it is not enough. For people like you, It’s not a character worthy of attention, right?”

"Jie hahaha...I am not a narrow-minded guy like Kaido and Lingling!!"

The Golden Lion laughed loudly after hearing this, with a sense of vicissitudes of life that comes from falling from heaven to hell and then getting back up again, having read all the world and seen through illusions: "This sea is full of talented people, and the new generation has always been better than the old." , even if some people are unknown now, they may not be able to achieve great things in the future, and being able to become a supernova already shows your potential!"

"Besides, I don't want every supernova. You are not a character that can be looked down upon! If I read correctly, you should be a user with the ability of the 'Surgery Fruit', right?"

When Luo heard this, alarm bells rang in his heart: "Do you also know about this devil fruit?"

"Of course! I have seen the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book before, so I have some understanding of it. Because of the ultimate secret, this fruit is one of the Devil Fruits that the World Government values ​​most!"

The golden lion rubbed his chin, like an old pervert, and glanced greedily at Luo: "The fruit of the operation was once sold on the market for a high price of 5 billion beli. It is probably the most expensive one known so far. It's a devil fruit..."

The people on the side looked sideways when they heard this, and some even spit out the food and wine in their mouths, staring at the two people talking with dumbfounded eyes.

"Ehhhhh??!! 5...5 billion Baileys?!"

"Really?! Can a Devil Fruit be worth so much??!"

"The ultimate secret??"

"Then Terran, aren't you worth 5.2 billion Baileys?"

"How can such a thing be so calculated..."

Amid the shock, Golden Lion suddenly tapped the palm of his hand: "By the way, you are a doctor, right? Since we are allies now, how about you help me perform an operation?"

"What kind of surgery?" Luo frowned and looked at the golden lion, his eyes full of fear.

The value and ultimate secret of the fruit of the operation had just been revealed in the previous sentence, and the next sentence asked him to perform surgery on him. This would make anyone unable to help but think nonsense.

Fortunately, the golden lion's next words dispelled Luo's suspicion.

The golden lion pointed at the rudder on his head and said, "This thing is too much in the way. Use your surgery fruit to help me take it off!"

"……a piece of cake!"

The golden lion held up the third glass of wine and walked towards Luffy who was feasting.

"Straw Hat, did you hear what we just said? What do you think, do you want to join our alliance?"

"don't want!"

Luffy rejected the golden lion's invitation and continued to chew on the meat of an unknown animal. "Although you invited me to dinner, I am very grateful to you, but let's forget about the alliance."

"Wait a minute, Luffy! If you refuse directly like this..."

Luffy's casual and unrestrained attitude shocked Usopp and others, and they all looked at the golden lion in fear, fearing that he would kill him if he didn't like it.

"Jie hahaha...!! You are so direct in your rejection! Speaking of which, the straw hat behind you looks familiar. It reminds me of an old friend..."

"Shanks gave this to me."

A glimmer of light flashed in the golden lion's eyes, and he looked at Luffy with a bit more interest: "Like the red nose over there, was it the trainee kid on Roger's ship? Then, this hat was indeed worn by Roger back then, right? …”

"I don't know that."

The golden lion stared at the straw hat behind Luffy and began to reminisce about the past: "Back then, I once invited Roger to conquer the sea with me, but in the end he refused. I deeply regret it every time I think about it!"

Bucky drank silently on the side, cursing in his heart: Are you sure that's a regret? You should feel bitter about the fiasco at Art Wall...

"After more than 20 years, fate has allowed me to meet someone wearing this hat again. This is simply God's will!! Jie hahaha..."

The Golden Lion's voice became more impassioned, and his laughter became louder and bolder, more powerful and domineering, giving people a sense of familiarity that "even though the lion is old, his power is still there".

"Join our alliance, Straw Hat!"

"I do not want!"

Roger gave the hat to the red hair, and the red hair gave the hat to Luffy, both because they regard each other as the inheritance of their own will.

In other words, Luffy and Roger are the same kind of people with the same will. They have no ambition to conquer the sea or the world, but only the vision of pursuing freedom.

These golden lions knew it very well, but he still wanted to try! He didn't lie about one thing. He was really sorry that he didn't invite Roger.

"Why not? Don't you have any ambition for this sea?"

Could it be that the pie you drew doesn’t taste good? Apparently two people had already eaten it.

Luffy stopped eating and said seriously: "I don't need to conquer! In terms of ambition... becoming the Pirate King is my ambition!"

The golden lion looked at Luffy with interest: "In that case, why do you still think there is no need to conquer? Only the person who rules this sea with strength is the Pirate King!"

Luffy retorted loudly: "No! The Pirate King should be the freest man in the world!"

This guy... really looks like Roger! !

"And I don't have time to form an alliance with you. I have to save Ace next."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present closed their eyes at the same time, black lines appeared on their foreheads, and a sentence flashed in their hearts: 'It's over! Got caught! ’

Sure enough, the golden lion grinned after hearing this: "'Fire Fist' Ace? Who is he to you?"

"It's my brother!" Luffy told the truth.

"Jie hahaha... Then you should join forces with me! Have you also seen the ability of my 'Piao Piao Fruit'?"

The golden lion stretched out a hand to Luffy: "As long as you join forces with me, I can promise you to take you directly to Impel Prison or even to the Navy Headquarters!"

"Wouldn't it be much easier for you to save your brother?"

Luffy was immediately stunned, while Zoro, Sanji, Nami and others showed expressions of "Sure enough," and then pulled Luffy over, and the group began to communicate in a low voice.

"Indeed, if we have this ability, we will save the time of finding a permanent pointer and sailing on the seabed. It will be much more convenient when rescuing people and evacuating..."

"But the other party is the legendary Golden Lion! If we act together with him, we will also receive the navy's attention..."

"It is inevitable to be noticed by the Navy! The key is that our purpose is to save Ace, but his purpose is to cause trouble at the Navy Headquarters, so that such a crazy person can control the planned retreat route. No one knows whether it will happen by then accident……"

"Didn't you say that the Whitebeard Pirates will also go? With them sharing the navy's firepower, it should be no problem, right?"

"How can there be any reason to place the hope of survival on people you don't know?"

"Luffy, what do you think?"

"That's right, Luffy! You are the captain, you make this decision!"

Several people looked up, only to find that Luffy was not around at all.

“Where are the people??”

Turning around, he found that Luffy had reached out and held the golden lion together, with a silly smile on his face: "What? So you want to help me save Ace? Thank you so much! Okay! Let’s form an alliance!!”

The air was suddenly silent.

"..."×N

“I knew it would be like this!!!”×N
