Chapter 74: The Situation
In the evening, when Leo returned to Bareari, he was not surprised by the missing Dick and the ships, and the strange fleet he had seen. While he was inquiring about Spade's island, he heard that Raging Wind Grant had besieged Bareari, and that Dick was supposed to be hiding somewhere else.
Without alarming the enemy, Leo and Absalom hid farther away and called Dick.
After hanging up the phone, Leo took Absalom inland.
The Fury Wind Pirates have completely surrounded the island, and the defense line is not exposed, and Dick can only choose to hide inland, or even inside the city.
The phone also told Leo that he had joined Perona and Sindoli.
- Victoria Sindoli?
Leo didn't expect Sindori to make a decision so quickly, which is indeed a happy event.
Absalom and Leo stealth, broke through the king's defenses, infiltrated the city, and finally met with the big guys.
Cavendish who ran out in a daze was also here, disgraced...... Obviously, I have suffered a lot.
Walking into the abandoned warehouse, Leo first greeted everyone, and then pulled Sindoli aside to ask.
Sindoli tells Leo what she has experienced and what she has guessed.
"I see, the motive is there, but there is only a lack of evidence......
Leo pinched his chin and thought that if Victoria Leiningenkar had never forgotten to revive the family, as Sindoli said, then it was really possible that there was a partnership with Capone Becky.
It's just that who is in charge is not yet determined.
But no matter who is in charge, the purpose of capturing Sindoli is to further solidify the relationship, and all that changes is who is stronger and who is weaker; Whoever asks for help is just the helper.
"What are we going to do? What am I going to do? Father he...... I really find it hard to accept that my father was also involved in this incident, if ...... If you go to war in the future and stand on the opposite side of us, do you want to kill him? ”
Sindoli looked tired and painful when she said these words.
Leo could only pat her on the shoulder.
Console?
No...... What doesn't exist, Leo will never learn to comfort a woman.
"In short, we can only solve the current difficulties first, and then talk about the future."
Pinching his chin, Leo analyzed the current situation.
"Now, Bari Ali is surrounded by the Raging Wind Pirates, and the outer layer is divided into two forces, namely the mafia, the pirates and the army, but they are evenly matched, so Bari Ali's dilemma needs to be solved by Bari Ali himself."
"The army in the city can move, but the master guards around the king can't."
"Once you act, you are likely to be exposed, and you must know that there are also many pirates and mafias in ambush in the city, and they may break through the weak defense of the king's guards at any time to assassinate them."
"So at the moment, we are the only forces that can move freely."
War is not such a simple thing, the situation at this time is already quite complicated, it is the United States that will move the whole body, and it is the United States that will fall into the disadvantage, like a flock of sheep surrounded by wolves, and every move is closely watched, and you have no idea where the other party's secret post is.
This is a passive one.
"Are we going to kill the Fury Pirates?"
Sindoli asked.
"No, after the battle with Spade, I at least know that the three major pirates in the West Sea are not in vain, so it is not easy to defeat them, at least in terms of power, we are not as good as the other party."
Leo's forces, there are a total of seven people in Xihai, among whom Saron is not there, and even if he is notified to come now, he will not be able to break through the encirclement of the outer circle.
Except for Leo, among the remaining five, the strongest is Dick.
The most efficient in ability is Perona.
Absalom and Cavendish can only be regarded as cannon fodder on the frontal battlefield, and Sindoli is directly counted as fat sheep.
With the Fury Wind Pirates heading head-on, if Leo can't kill Grant in a short period of time, he will definitely lose.
Not to mention......
Leo was under no obligation to resolve the plight of the United States.
At least...... Seek some benefits.
"Interests? What do you want? ”
Xin Duoli couldn't help but glance at Leo with contempt, but she didn't expect that this child would also have a day of interest: "Aren't you an avenger?" Isn't that your obligation......"
"Only Capone Becky is a voluntary killing, and everything else is in the category of 'it doesn't matter if you kill or not'."
Leo replied, and explained to Perona in detail the benefits he needed: "First of all, if we want to win this battle, we must increase at least one high-level combat power - that is Dick, Dick's physical strength and combat skills are good, now that he only lacks a Devil Fruit, his strength can skyrocket, and when the time comes, Dick will contain and protect you, and I can deal with Grant with peace of mind." ”
"So for one, I want a Devil Fruit."
"Second!" Leo held out a second finger and stared into Sindori's pupils.
"I need a pass."
"I need to gain the friendship or favor of the United States, so that after the war is over, I can develop my power unhindered."
Friendship, favors!
This is the most necessary thing to allow Leo to grow the organization he wants to build in a short period of time.
"Are you finally going to create an organization?"
Sindori's eyes widened, her eyes sparkling, clearly interested in Leo's organization.
"Yes...... yes, are you coming? ”
Leo couldn't cope with the woman's dazzling gaze, so he reluctantly and politely asked, and the result was ......
"Of course!"
Sindoli nodded solemnly.
"Oh...... Oh, that's right. ”
To be honest, Leo really didn't mean to invite her.
But Sindoli had her own reasons to convince Leo.
"First of all, think about it...... After this incident, will I still be as free as I always have? ”
Leo wanted to say "yes", but Sindoli's eyes seemed to tell Leo that if you dared to say "yes", the old lady would fight with you, so she replied: "Hmm...... Probably not. ”
Sindoli had always wanted to break away from her family's grasp.
After this incident, success or failure will have an impact on her freedom.
Sindoli continued in Leo's tone: "Second, you should know my popularity, if I make the cards for you, it will be a lot easier to develop and grow, right?" ”
"Yes, that's true."
This sentence made Leo agree.
"Well, if you set up any organization, let me take a stake!"
- The premise is that it can't be a killer organization.
The corners of Sindori's mouth curled into a smile, and her eyes seemed to say so...... With a gentle and warm expression, he made an oath to Leo with his little finger.
Leo slapped Sindori's right hand away casually, and turned back to the topic with an expressionless face.
"Going back to the previous topic, we have reached the point where we have to take sides with the current predicament."
"So, I want you to introduce us to some well-known and reliable king or councillor to solve difficult problems on a hired basis."
"Is that okay?"
