Chapter 252: History Repeats Itself
It is precisely because he has been by the side of the Golden Lion Shiji for so many years and understands his mentality that Dr. Indigo knows that the East China Sea, which is Roger's hometown, is almost inevitable to be destroyed by him Golden Lion Shiki in front of the world.
Because beyond that, there is no better way for the Golden Lion to show that he is a head above the dead Roger in front of the world.
"An inconsequential sea area, if it's gone, it's gone," said the Golden Lion Shiji with disapproval when he heard Dr. Indigo ask about the attitude of the East China Sea people who surrendered to Cheng, "It would be best if they could accept the reality, if they couldn't—anyway, I would have already gotten everything I needed in the East China Sea, and I wouldn't need them." ”
Dr. Indigo laughed, then walked to the top of the Golden Lion Shiki's head, and looked down at the rudder inserted on it: "It would be the best thing if you could speed up the research program with the resources of the East China Sea, this rudder has been stuck in your head for more than ten years, and the wood has rotted." ”
Hearing this, Golden Lion Shiji reached out and touched the top of his head, which was already smooth and slippery.
Dr. Indiego's voice fell, and he said with some sadness: "In the past two years, you have often confused things, and if you continue, you will either be infected with bacteria, or the rudder will be damaged and your brain will be implicated, you may die at any time, you are already old, and you do not have the same tenacious vitality as a lion when you were young." ”
When the ship's doctor diagnosed the golden lion Shiji, he said this sentence, the rudder was very deep in the golden lion's brain, and if he insisted on pulling it out, it might endanger the life of the golden lion Shiji, in fact, if it weren't for the tenacious life of the golden lion Shiji, he would have died long ago.
But that was eighteen years ago, before the era of the pirates began, and now the age and physical skills of the Golden Lion Shiji are no longer as good as before, especially the two years of torture suffered in the Great Prison Advance City, the torture and damage to the Golden Lion Shiji's body are even greater.
Even if Shiki himself can take care of the rudder on a regular basis, it is inevitable that the wooden rudder will decay and damage over time.
As one of the first companions to follow Ski, Dr. Indigo was very worried about his old friend's health, and even more worried that he would have to retire from this turbulent era because of his health before he achieved his goal.
"I won't die until I defeat Roger and destroy his hometown," the Golden Lion muttered to himself, "I will never die as a defeated enemy of the East China Sea pirates!"
……
Chloe left the lab and headed to his room.
The defectors of this expedition were arranged to live together by the Golden Lion Shiji, and they were not afraid of their connection, or rather, the Golden Lion Shiji didn't care whether they were sincere or not, whether they would be connected or not.
The islands controlled by Melvieu and the Golden Lion Shiki are all above the sky, and they are full of beasts that are affected by IQ, evolve extremely fast, and are extremely aggressive, even if they want to escape, it is not an easy task.
In the small courtyard, the other members of the expedition were talking to each other, and when Chloe returned, they immediately closed their mouths and looked at Chloe with strange expressions.
These people did not have the courage to resist the Golden Lion Shiki, and they were afraid of William's revenge, so although they surrendered to the Golden Lion Shiki, they stayed away from Chloe, who had no scruples about betraying William's information.
Chloe was expressionless in the limelight, and returned to his room without looking at these people, sneering inwardly.
These wall grasses, they still think that after they have their own beginnings, even if the worst possibility appears, William will defeat the Golden Lion Shiji in the future, and the guilt will not be so heavy.
It's just that they don't know that the most unpopular thing in this world is the grass on the wall.
Not long after Chloe returned to the room, there was a knock on the door, and Crick entered the room after Chloe opened the door.
"What are you doing, why did you take the initiative to lead the Golden Lion Shiki to the East China Sea?" asked Crick as soon as he entered the room, closing the door and lowering his voice to deliberately create a secret atmosphere.
Crick's expression was as if he and Chloe should trust each other and exchange ideas now that Harden is in custody.
But Chloe just pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and glanced at Crick, but didn't speak.
He didn't trust those people outside, and at the same time he didn't trust Creek, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the lead in surrendering to the Golden Lion Shiki.
From beginning to end, Chloe was communicating with the golden lion Shi Jixu and the snake, wearing a mask.
Unlike the stubborn and reckless Harden, Chloe would not express his loyalty to William in such a fierce way, and as a smart and sensible man, Chloe had already given up on the idea of direct resistance when the Golden Lion Shiki first showed his unrivaled strength in front of everyone.
The actions of Harden and others are almost the same as sending them to death in Chloe's eyes, or they died in vain, because he knew very well that even if Harden or himself died, it would be of little use to the situation.
The whole ship is close to a hundred people, not everyone in this is William's die-hard henchmen, Crick and a group of people in the courtyard outside the door at this time, Crow when the golden lion Shiki first spoke out, he knew that many of these people would surrender, especially Crick, he also knew a lot of information about William's high-level leaders.
In this case, Chloe thinks that it is better to let himself take the lead in the past and gain the trust of the Golden Lion Shiki.
Now it seems that he has indeed won the trust of the Golden Lion Shiji, and successfully said that the Golden Lion Shiji has the idea of going to the East China Sea to develop.
In this case, of course, Chloe could not have a heart-to-heart with Crick, and he didn't trust anyone in this courtyard.
The reason why Chloe tried every possible way to lure the Golden Lion Shiki to the East China Sea was because he knew that in the East China Sea, William's chances of winning were the best.
The Golden Lion Shiki, who tried his best to obtain the new steamship, did not hide his purpose in front of Chloe and the others, and Chloe clearly knew that the Golden Lion Shiki was afraid of bad stormy weather.
The climate of the East China Sea is not as good as the great shipping routes, it can be controlled, and William's Surveying and Mapping Bureau has been established in the East China Sea for many years, specializing in the work of naval navigation surveying and mapping, meteorological induction, and over the years through hot air balloons and ships and other tools to study and summarize the meteorology, and know the climate of the East China Sea well.
The most important thing is that backed by the largest textile industrial zone in the East China Sea, William can mobilize enough hot air balloons and airships to carry troops, so as to attack the island where the golden lion Shiki is floating in the sky, so as not to be helpless and end up in a situation where he can only be beaten passively.
And if Golden Lion Shiji doesn't want so many years of hard work to be in vain, he can only face the war head-on, and he can't use his fruit ability to escape - as one of William's three major think tanks, Chloe has understood the power of this fruit since he learned about Golden Lion Shiki's ability, and if he can't solve Golden Lion Shiji at once, he will become a huge trouble.
Of course, the reason why Chloe took such pains to plan and risk his life to become an undercover agent and double agent again was not simply because of his loyalty to William.
The reason why he made today's choice between William and Golden Lion Shiji is only because of Chlota, who hates Golden Lion Shiki.
