After thanking him in person and letting go of the stone in his heart, Luo relaxed a lot, his whole body burst out with bright energy, and there was a smile on his face with kidney deficiency.
"I guess Marshal Sengoku didn't know that Admiral Soryu knew so much information... As a spy, Mr. Cora has been working silently behind the scenes. There are many naval heroes like him."
"As a foster father, the Warring States Marshal did not express his gratitude, which is the best way to remember Mr. Cora."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Ron chuckled and asked curiously: "What, you want to meet Mr. Cora's adoptive father?"
Luo's tone paused, then nodded.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Navy Soryu."
"In addition to expressing my gratitude to you in person, my other purpose in setting out for the Grand Route is to meet with Marshal of the Warring States Period, and I also ask Lieutenant General Canglong to fulfill his wish!"
Even though Sengoku had no formal appearance in front of Ron, he was a high-ranking naval marshal after all. Except for the Five Old Stars above the government who had more power than him, the rest of them were only on the same level as him no matter how high they were.
Without a qualified person to recommend him, how could it be so easy to meet the Admiral
But then again, in the world government, in addition to the Five Old Stars and the Celestial Dragons, there are other naval marshals, army marshals, cp1-9 and the previous generation of navy marshals, this generation of military commander "Cyborg" Kong, etc., etc. Humans are just dogs that obey orders.
The Wulaoxing and Tianlong talents are the real core of the government, and the others are just parts, existing to protect this "core".
"That's it..."
Ron narrowed his eyes and made a bold guess.
Luo wants to see Warring States, probably not just because of Corazon!
However, Ron would not say this guess, but nodded with a look of relief.
"You were reborn because of Corazon. If you really think about it, Sengoku is also your elder. You might as well go and meet him."
"Okay, leave this matter to me! I can't stop a junior from meeting an elder, right?"
Jinbei smiled and had no answer. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't grasp the key point. However, Fujitora knew very well Ron's temperament of not being willing to do anything early, and knew that he must have some plan.
"Thank you, Lieutenant General Canglong!"
Luo calmed down and bowed again.
"By the way, I remember you said you came here with your companions, right? Go find them now to prepare, and we will set off later."
Luo was not a fool. Hearing this, he subconsciously glanced at the other two Shichibukai and nodded: "Yes!"
Click...
The door bolt was clicked gently, and in the sky garden, Ron took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder what Mr. Jinping wants to see me for today?"
The purpose of Ron coming here was just to meet Luo, the guest. If there was nothing important, Fujitora would not let Jinbe appear here.
Jinbei knew that Ron had deep intentions and did not dare to make excuses: "Lieutenant General Soryu, I am here to discuss a cooperation with you."
Although Jinbe debuted earlier than Ron and has more seniority, Dahai is respected for his strength, and the older the seniority, the more it means he should be eliminated.
Now Ron Guang's combat power far exceeds Jin Ping's, so his tone cannot help but lower.
"Well, let's hear it."
Ron said calmly.
Jinbei is also the one with the heaviest burden among the Seven Warlords under the King, which lays a solid foundation for cooperation.
Ron didn't mind if that was possible.
Seeing this, Jinbei took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "I am here on behalf of King Neptune of Fish-Man Island. I would like to ask Lieutenant General Soryu to provide shelter to Fish-Man Island!"
"Um???"
Ron looked confused.
Later, Jinbei decisively explained the reason for doing this.
The origin starts from when he framed Tikki last year. During the Battle of Beard Town, "Blackbeard" Tikki, his long-time companion, left the Whitebeard Pirates. After that, Whitebeard himself was stabbed through the chest by Ron.
Admittedly, those injuries were nothing to a monster like Whitebeard who stood on top of the world, but afterward, Whitebeard was afraid of Ron's intimidation, and the Whitebeard Pirates did not take any revenge, let alone act like crazy Kaido. Go to war directly, so that the reputation is greatly reduced.
The decline in Whitebeard's reputation has slowly affected the islands that accepted his protection.
Among them, Fishman Island, the farthest gateway to the New World from Whitebeard’s territory, bore the brunt.
200 years ago, the World Government signed an alliance with Fish-Man Island, including it as a member country, and made the slave trade illegal, thus curbing the situation where fish and mermaids were being captured and sold on a large scale.
But despite huge profits, this kind of thing is still prohibited.
Especially after the Great Pirate Age began, Fish-Man Island had no way to survive on its own due to its special geographical location at the gateway to the New World.
Later, when Whitebeard saw all this, he generously endorsed his old friend "Sea Knight" Neptune and planted the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates on Fish-Man Island, thus completely suppressing this matter.
Although the Shampoo Islands are the back garden of the Tianlong people, there are still many fish and mermaids being sold as goods, but those who dare to directly kidnap people on the Fish-Man Island will make money but not waste their lives.
No one dares to touch the title of "The Strongest in the World".
As a result, after the turmoil last year, the world gradually discovered that white beard is nothing special after all!
A vice admiral, or at most a candidate for general, can make him fearful and afraid of revenge.
As a result, Fishman Island suffered.
Kidnapping incidents that had not occurred for several years began to occur frequently. Neptune was greatly troubled, but he was unwilling to let his old friend Whitebeard continue to take risks.
So there was the matter of Jinbei coming to see Ron.
To put it bluntly, the disaster on Fishman Island was entirely caused by the powerful navy. As government lackeys, they made Whitebeard afraid, so of course the others would take the opportunity to pick up the slack.
However, Jinbe didn't say that, he just used compliments to ask Navy Soryu, who was now feared by the New World, to take action.
In return, Neptune was willing to pay.
After listening to Jinbei's story, Ron remained silent, closed his eyes and tapped on the table, and began to think about the gains and losses.
Jinbe looked at him nervously.
Neptune was helpless.
Either continue to ask Whitebeard to take action, but it may cause serious damage to Whitebeard, and betray his friends in exchange for national peace. Neptune still can't lose face.
Asking for help from the navy and government is undoubtedly inviting the wolf into the house.
Everyone knows that the navy is just a lackey of the government and cannot interfere with senior government officials and nobles from various countries, and these people happen to be the main force in buying slaves from Fishman Island.
"Mr. Jinbei's original intention was to seek help from the old blind man, but Century City has already made me work hard, and it is inevitable that I will not be able to do anything else."
"Moreover, Mr. Jinbei and I are both Shichibukai. If we join forces openly, it will inevitably cause some bad speculations for the government."
Fujitora then told the reason why Jinbei was here, and smiled apologetically at Ron: "So I recommended you, Lieutenant General Soryu, to him... With your personal prestige, just stand up and endorse Fish-Man Island. , whether it’s the government or the pirates, they have to give you face.”
"Oh? I am so proud now?"
Ron opened his eyes in amusement and glanced at Fujitora.
Fujitora smiled and did not answer.
But he really wasn't talking nonsense.
In the year 1519 of the Haiyuan calendar, in this era, Ron's personal prestige was comparable to that of a naval admiral.
And due to a series of incredible achievements and past experiences, even the Four Emperors did not dare to provoke him easily.
Within the government, there were even more people from the Nibelungen family who were backing them up. They beat up the people for being rebellious and unethical. Instead of not telling the truth, they reported it to the public for publicity.
Now Ron has a reputation as a powerful person, and he is also a member of the navy. There is no fault in his identity. He is a complete thorn, and whoever messes with him will suffer.
As long as he stands up and openly expresses his position, not to mention completely solving the slave trade, Fish-Man Island can at least stabilize and thrive.
There's just one problem...
Why? !
Why would Ron risk offending senior officials of the Draconian government and various royal families to endorse Fish-Man Island
And by doing this, even if Whitebeard can understand the concerns of his old friend Neptune, what will the Whitebeard Pirates think
People can't help themselves in the world, and the will of the masses is the best poison for a type like Whitebeard who values his family.
so…
"Tell me your chips, Jinbe!"
Ron looked directly at him with a majestic look and said calmly: "Don't talk about it being our duty to protect the participating countries. You are a pirate and I am a navy. I don't trust you!"
"So let's be practical."
