Chapter 334: Conspiracy
The situation was worse than anyone had imagined, the entire village had burned out, and not a single person was left alive. There were so many charred corpses piled up on top of each other that it was impossible to tell who was who.
Because the people of the Whitebeard Pirates often follow Whitebeard here, they basically know the people in the village, and when they see such a tragic situation, they can't wait to pull Blackbeard and the others out and whip the corpse again. With tears in their eyes, many people helped the villagers collect the corpses.
Of course, there is also Whitebeard's body, when it was found, Whitebeard's body was still at the exit of the village, this is where the crew members who came out to report escaped out, and Whitebeard was obviously here to block the Blackbeard Pirates, fighting until the last moment.
There was no good place to find on his corpse, it was basically a blur of flesh and blood, but basically all the wounds were in front of him, and until the end he was still protecting his child, and he didn't retreat a single step.
Of course, seeing Whitebeard's corpse, all the crew members cried bitterly again, although they had already felt it before, but at this moment, they still couldn't accept it.
The funeral was relatively simple, there were no cumbersome ceremonies, just the burial of Whitebeard's body, and then one by one came up to mourn. The only person who didn't have any expression in the whole funeral was Linton, although he admired Whitebeard, but it had nothing to do with himself.
"He's the guy I admire the most besides the captain." Shanks walked up and said, "Titch...... Damn it indeed. ”
"The funeral is over, what else do you have to do?" Linton asked.
“……”
"I think I said that the next time we meet, it's the enemy." Linton said.
"It's hard for people to like you." Shanks said, "Have you verified what I said?" ”
"Hmm." Linton nodded.
"Then according to your character, you won't ignore your nephew, right?" Shanks said, "Next, your goal should be the world government, am I right?" ”
"yes." Linton nodded.
"Think about my proposal again?" Shanks asked.
"Well......" Linton hesitated slightly, "not really...... No need to talk about it. ”
Linton did change his mind, for the simple reason that his mission was ...... It's done. Yes, just after Linton solved the Blackbeard Pirates, what he didn't expect was that he directly received a system prompt, and the detection degree had reached 100%, just like before, Linton directly received a reward of 5 million points, and of course this world has become a low-threat world.
Of course, this news made Linton very happy, and he was still worried about this matter, but he suddenly completed the task, and his headache was solved a lot. Then there is no need to go around hard, let alone find any Ralph Drew, if it really gets to that point, Linton is really in a hurry.
Now Linton can actually go, but he didn't leave directly, of course, not because he felt sorry for his nephew, the main reason was ...... There are too many points in this world, how can I be willing to leave if I don't earn enough. Now Linton's points have 14 million, which are all points earned in a crossing, so if you leave now, you don't know when you come back, where will you let it go.
Now there is still some time before the delivery time of the task, all in all, there is no hurry, anyway, the task is completed, and you can hand it in directly when you go back, so naturally you can catch more if you can. The world is so beautiful, there are so many things to die in exchange for points, and the temptation is too great.
What's more, the place I'm going to now is a vault. Linton vaguely remembered that the first bucket of gold he dug up in the One Piece world was provided by the Draconian, this is not the ransom of the Draconian, ten Devil Fruits, they will get it together for you in half an hour, so how many points do you say are waiting for him over there?
But there's still some value over there, and Shanks' side isn't worth much. Linton originally scolded him mainly for the task, this guy should be a poor guy and can't get too much oil and water. Now that the mission is complete, this guy doesn't have much to do in this regard.
"Huh?" Hearing Linton say that it could be discussed, Shanks was also stunned. Because according to Linton's attitude before, it was obvious that there was no feeling to talk about it, why did he suddenly say that it was negotiable? He just tried again, he didn't have much hope, but after a few days, Linton agreed again?
"Where's that gift of yours?" Linton said suddenly, didn't Shanks bring him a Devil Fruit as a gift before, so he couldn't accept it without talking about Linton. What I was thinking about before was to scare him for grabbing it himself, but now I'm too lazy to scare it.
"Uh......" Shanks was very confused, but he also asked someone to bring the gift, and he didn't go far, he came here to wait for Linton after receiving the news, so of course the gift was still on board.
"After receiving the gift, I will let you go for the time being." Linton said, "You don't have any other Devil Fruits?" ”
“…… Nope. Shanks said.
"What about the text of history?" Linton asked again.
“……”
"Is it really poor?" Linton nodded, "Forget it, in that case, you can also consider the matter of dealing with the world government together that you said before." ”
Yes, Linton let Shanks go, and part of the reason was to trick him into working for himself. He considered two points, on the one hand, what is the specific strength of the world government, in fact, there are some unclear, after all, it is the organization that currently rules the whole world, Linton estimates that they still have some hole cards, and this hole card, it is not said in the original book. So finding someone is also a way out, or a cushion.
On the other hand, Linton also learned his lesson. Yes, I bulldozed the Navy Headquarters last time, and I was really relieved, but the points gain was not very big, and I didn't solve the two Four Emperors by myself after that. And this time I went to the trouble of the world government, mainly not to probe the degree, but the points, directly bulldozing them is not good for himself, Linton decided, find one to attract attention, and go in first to grab all the points, and then bulldoze it.
"So, I thought of a good idea." Linton said, "The soldiers are divided into two ways, your side attracts their attention from the front, I sneak straight in, and when I have the opportunity, I attack directly behind them." ”
"How do I sound like you're going to sell me?" Shanks said.
"How is it possible, I just received your things, how can I sell you." Linton said, "Well, if you don't believe me, that's how it will be arranged." I'm not going to sneak in, it's definitely impossible to take people with me, I just want to go in alone, then my fleet and men will act with you. You see, I can't sell you, can I still sell my fleet together? ”
"Uh......" Shanks touched his chin as if ...... No problem. When he first heard Linton say, it really seemed that he was going to lie to himself, and it was still a very clumsy way. After all, Linton's sudden change of mind was already very suspicious, and he said that he would attract attention, which was not a typical rhythm for him to die. But when he heard Linton say that he would let Whitebeard's fleet act with them, he was a little convinced, and he couldn't really even sell his own fleet.
"Are you telling the truth?" Shanks confirmed.
"Of course." Linton said, "It's not for my nephew. ”
Shanks nodded, and at the mention of his nephew, he was a little convinced. Linton is also very famous in the industry, that is, he loves his nephew, because Linton used his nephew as an excuse for everything he did before, which led everyone to think that Linton really loved his nephew, and you see that the war on the top is the most obvious. Even several of his nephews felt that Linton didn't say anything else, and that he was serious about hurting them, so with this excuse, Shanks really believed it even more.
"If you don't feel at ease, go and contact the revolutionary army to take a look." Linton said, "After all, it's also the company where my nephew works, so they can't just watch." ”
"That's right...... Can be considered. Shanks thought for a moment and nodded. It was originally a matter of the revolutionary army, but now they don't care, this is unreasonable. It's just that now that the world government has completely blocked the news, it is estimated that the revolutionary army still doesn't know that Saab has happened.
"So you go and announce it now." Linton said, "Announcing Saab's news, and also announcing that I'm going to the World Government to get someone, and you're joining forces with me, so that you can attract attention positively, and at the same time contact people from the Revolutionary Army." If we both announce an attack on the World Government at the same time, it is more likely that the Revolutionary Army will come and join us. ”
"I see." Shanks nodded, "But wouldn't the World Government be more vigilant in that way?" ”
"They were already on guard when they arrested my nephew, what do you say?" Linton said.
"Yes." Shanks nodded. The world government can't keep suppressing this news all the time, if it's really scared, it won't be able to release people directly. The current situation is estimated to be preparing, and they also know that Linton is expected to kill him when he receives the news, so of course he will wait until he is ready to announce the news, which is originally a trap in preparation.
When Linton said this, Shanks suddenly felt that this plan seemed to be very good. They didn't do it now because they weren't ready, so now is indeed the best time, he, Linton, plus the Revolutionary Army, this wave of attacks on the World Government is a bit of a big threat.
Of course, Shanks also has his own considerations, but he thinks he can get on this wave of boats. After thinking about it again, Shanks finally made up his mind: "Okay, since that's the case, let's follow your plan." ”
