Chapter 42 Manpower
Nagato takes control of the sand mass, on which lies the corpse of Doflamingo, and returns to Dressrosa with Cyrus, Rowe, Luci, Kaku, Gabra, and Bruno.
The advantage of flying sand control is that the consumption of chakra is far less than the power of the Heavenly Dao, and conversely, the disadvantage is that the speed is slower. Therefore, it had only taken Nagato a minute or two to fly from the palace to the edge of the island, but now that he had walked back, he had only flown a third of the time in the same time.
"Guradius!" Suddenly, Luo on the sand ball spoke, "Mahabais! ”
At this time, he had entered the outskirts of Dressrosa's city, and after treating Nagato's shoulder injury, Luo had nothing to do on the sandball, and when he looked around, he found two familiar figures below.
Nagato and the others also discovered the people below, and in addition to the two Don Quixote cadres, there were three new faces.
One is a strong man more than five meters tall, full of muscles and knuckles, and at first glance he is the master who can fight against beatings.
The second man is more than two meters tall and has a well-proportioned build, but his right hand is replaced by a golden hook, and his face is fierce.
The last one was only about 1.6 meters, with a white cloth tied to his right arm, and on the cloth was a skull case, which seemed to be mostly a member of some pirate group. But the strange thing is that this man is wearing a suit and shirt, his pen is as sharp as a knife, and he even has a golden monocle on his nose, and his expression is more like a nobleman than that of a nobleman.
Law had called out the names of Guradius and Mahabais, who were also below, in the position of the three men, except that the three were standing, while Guradius and Mahabis were lying in a pool of blood.
At the same time that Nagato and the others found the five people below, the three faces below also saw Nagato in the air, and the big man who was more than five meters old immediately shouted at his head with a thunderous voice: "Oh——! Red hair, and gray eyes! You are Lao Tzu's benefactor, right? ”
"Anderson, you're so rude." The man in the suit first accused the big man, and then bowed to the air and saluted, "Under Joe Thompson, the two around him are the captain of the Shield Pirates, 'Shield' Anderson, and the combatant of the Gold and Silver Pirates, 'Gold Marauder' Clay." All three of us were turned into toys by Dufflamingo's plot, and we are grateful to learn that you killed Sucrose! ”
The sand ball in the sky gradually approached, and on the sand ball, Lu Qi heard Joe's greeting and self-introduction, and immediately reacted: "Pirates? ”
His instinct as a CP9 is still there, and his tone is subconsciously not very good.
After receiving Luo's treatment, Kaku also came to his senses, and continued: "It's not a small role - 'Shield' Anderson Doug, the powerhouse of the shield fruit, the captain of the shield pirates, has a bounty of 200 million Bailey; 'Gold Marauder' Clay Smith, with a bounty of 170 million Bailey; ”
Kaku's eyes turned to Joe: "And you, Joe Thompson, didn't tell where you came from, but you are the most dangerous one - the second-in-command of the Black Knife Ship, except for Admiral Abrams, the only person who has the right to order the forty-nine pirate ships and captains of the Black Knife Ship Regiment, and offer a reward of 240 million Bailey's 'fraud' Joe!" ”
Kaku couldn't help but be hostile to several pirates, but when he heard Kaku introduce Joe, Nagato, who had no interest in these people, became a little concerned, controlled the sand ball to the ground, and stood in front of the three.
Before Nagato could speak, Joe, Anderson, and Clay had already changed their faces!
They saw corpses lying on top of the sand.
"It's ......" after the gold-framed monocle, Joe's eyes widened.
"Dufflamingo!" Clay also opened his mouth wide and blurted out.
"Wha——!" However, Anderson's reaction was not so shocking, he patted his chest hard, looked up to the sky and laughed, "He is worthy of being Lao Tzu's benefactor!" Actually cleaned up this bastard, wahahaha! ”
"You're welcome, it's just a coincidence." Nagato stood in front of the three of them, responded to their benefactor's title, and then said, "You guys who solved these two Don Quixote cadres?" ”
"Of course!" Anderson replied first: "Recover, of course, you have to take revenge on these bastards!" ”
Obviously, Anderson was just a reckless man, and his words were clueless, so Joe next to him explained: "The three of us are going to help you defeat Don Quixote after we have recovered, and after asking the people of Dressrosa, it is very coincidental that we arrived at the palace almost at the same time. ”
"But you and Don Quixote's men were gone, and we only found Diamanti and Señol. I think we fought you before, and Diamanti was very injured at the time, so we easily dealt with them. ”
"Before we finally started, we pressed Diamanti to ask for your movements, and we chased it this way, and on the way we met Guladius and Mahabais, and we fought again."
"After dealing with them, we are preparing to continue looking for you - it seems that we also value our own strength too much, and we didn't expect you to defeat Doflamingo so quickly."
Joe's words sorted out the actions of the three of them, and after listening to them, Luo shook his head and said, "Guradius, Mahabais...... It seems that the action is too slow and falls to the end. ”
Combining the battle situation on his side with Joe's words, it was easy to surmise that Don Quixote's cadres were all rushing to support Doverngo at full speed, and that Guladius and Mahabais, one never in a hurry, the other fat and sluggish, of course slower than the other four, were caught up by Joe and the others and a battle broke out.
Looking at it this way, it can even be said that Joe, Anderson and Clay saved the lives of the six of them Luo and Lucci, otherwise if several Don Quixote cadres were all present, I am afraid that they would die before Nagato came back.
The four agents of Luqi, Kaku, Gabra, and Bruno also calculated this, and it was difficult for them to show their hostility to the pirates for a while.
It's just that Gabra still can't hold back: "The people who can solve Don Quixote, you have some strength." ”
The words should obviously be complimentary, but his tone is more like a sting.
Anderson didn't think about it that much at all, he simply thought that Gabra was praising himself, but he just slapped his chest a few more times and laughed.
Joe smiled silently.
Only Clay glanced at Gabra, then licked the blood on the golden hook, then looked at Guladius and Mahabis on the ground and said, "Hmph, it's just a few pieces of garbage." ”
Seeing Clay's behavior, Nagato's eyes flashed.
Nagato was originally not interested in these three people, but after hearing Joe's origin, he couldn't help but start thinking about solicitation.
After killing Doflamingo, he has completed the first two steps - gaining the territory, Dressrosa, but also the money, the Golden Country. Now, what he lacks most is manpower, and Joe comes from a large ship group, and he is the second-in-command among them, which means a lot to Nagato.
However, in terms of Nagato's goal, the establishment of an ideal country of peace is not something that can be accepted by one person who is useful. If Nagato establishes order in the future, but even the inside is full of evil and lawless people, how can it be convincing? Naturally, it is not a success.
Therefore, Nagato needs to understand the hearts of the three people. Even if he had plundered and killed, as long as it was not a heinous crime or there was no possibility of repentance like Dufflamingo, Nagato could accept it at his discretion, after all, as he had told Bellamy, the world itself had gone astray and the circumstances were pressing.
So, Nagato had a simple contact with the three of them: Anderson, needless to say, is a rough person, but such a person is also easy to be transformed, and there is probably no problem in restraining him; Joe, who behaves appropriately and thinks clearly, but cannot conclude that he is human for the time being; And Clay, although Nagato will not give a direct conclusion so quickly, he has undoubtedly been put on the list of suspects of dangerous elements.
All kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, and Nagamen remained silent and asked, "What are the plans of the three of you?" ”
The meaning of Nagato's words was already relatively straightforward, except for Anderson's ignorance, Clay and Joe immediately shot their eyes.
To Nagato's surprise, Qiao took the lead and directly gave the answer he wanted: "You have defeated the Seven Martial Seas 'Tenyasha' recognized by the World Government, and planned to rescue this kingdom carefully, you must have a plan." If you need it, I'm willing to work for you! ”
Joe's surrender went smoothly, but when you think about it, it's not without reason.
Although he is a sea thief, he has disappeared for several years after becoming a toy, and it can only be a fool's dream to go back and show up again and directly return to the previous scenery. So instead of that, when Nagato in front of him showed his intention to solicit, why didn't he follow Nagato, a strong man who couldn't even defeat Dofflamingo? Even leaning on Nagato, he can also use Nagato's momentum to easily turn around and take over the original Black Knife Ship Regiment!
After Nagato nodded in agreement, Joe immediately changed his position and began to play a role, persuading Clay and Anderson on both sides: "Both of us, we are both people who have been turned into toys and separated from the pirates for many years. Besides, Mr. Nagato saved us, we should repay the favor, and the strong man who defeated Doflamingo will never lack a chance! ”
With the words of repaying Anderson and the temptation of opportunity to Clay, Joe's words shook the two of them greatly.
"Wha!" Anderson didn't like to think about grinding in the first place, so he patted his chest and laughed, "Of course! Men just want to have clear grievances! Benefactor, I, Anderson, will be your little brother from now on! ”
Clay bowed his head to Nagato as well.
