Chapter 189: Compromise
When his companions Yellow Ape was fighting fiercely, Vlad was not idle, he knew that with his own partners, it was impossible to defeat Yellow Ape, and the rest of the dozen or so Whitebeard Pirate team leaders of Markoga Bistaga did not take down a seriously injured Red Inu, and it was even more impossible for his partners to do it.
The most they can do is stall for time, that's all, once the yellow ape decides to destroy the ship, then there will be no chance, maybe only Anilu can escape, so what Vlad has to do now is to let the yellow ape go back by himself before he decides to destroy the ship.
And how to make the yellow ape retreat by himself, this seems to be an impossible thing to achieve, after all, now he has no resistance power, and the strength of the crew is completely unable to stop him, but such a situation is indeed possible!
I have already said before, whether you can continue to sail today depends on the phone bug in your hand, and the only one who can make the yellow ape honestly retreat is of course the five old stars on the other end of the phone, the yellow ape is not a red dog, this man does not have such a strong idea of implementing justice.
"It's too much! Five Old Stars,"
Vlad didn't look panicked at all, the more panicked he was, the faster he would go to destruction, Vlad understood this deeply, so he didn't panic at all, this is also a gamble, just like Blackbeard said, if you are afraid, you have already lost, either live or destroy, Vlad is faced with only these two choices, what he has to do now is to try to bias the result towards living, he is not alone, he has his partners behind him who believe in him.
"Did you just tear up our agreement?"
Vlad spoke.
"There's never any fairness in the world, pirates, are you such a naΓ―ve guy?"
The bearded five old stars spoke in a serious tone, without the slightest emotion similar to pride, for these old guys, Vlad's experience today was just something they were used to, and there was no pride in it.
"If you could get the same thing without paying the price, what would you choose if it were you?"
"Do you still have to choose?"
Vlad smiled, "Of course, you choose to buy and sell without capital, if you have to choose the side with the cost, isn't it a big fool?" β
"Do you think we're fools?"
The Five Old Stars asked.
"I'm afraid a fool can't do the position of the five old stars!"
Vlad replied.
"So, here's the answer!"
The bearded five old stars said, "Since you understand everything, then accept your fate!" Pirates, although you defeated the Golden Lion, I am afraid that you don't have the physical strength to resist Polusalino now! β
"Yes, the Yellow Ape is really timely in the future!"
Vlad smiled, I have to say, the timing of the yellow ape's arrival is really bad, he has lost his combat power, and the ship is flying in the sky, which is really a bad situation.
"So, naturally, our deal is over!"
"But, Lord Five,"
Vlad smiled, "I think we can continue our trade!" β
"Pirates, even if you have any chips now, it's useless!"
The bearded Five Old Stars spoke, "Because, we are already generals!" β
"Not necessarily!"
Vlad smiled, "Maybe I can make you change your mind!" β
ββ¦β¦β
"If there's anything else you want to say, just do it as soon as possible! Show any chips left! β
The bearded Five Old Stars spoke, "That guy in Polusalino is really dead!" β
"Well, the Yellow Ape General had a great time!"
Vlad laughed, "As for the chips, there's nothing new!" β
"Are you challenging my patience? Pirate? β
The bearded five old stars had a hint of impatience in their tone.
"Hawkers, if you want to talk about chips, my biggest chip now is still the Golden Lion senior!"
Vlad smiled, "I think the government also wants to get him, after all, he is the man who once threw a piece of in the government's face!" β
"Pirates, watch the tone of your voice!"
The bearded Five Old Stars spoke, "With Polusalino here, will you and the Golden Lion still be able to escape?" This chip has long been invalidated! β
"Not necessarily!"
Vlad said softly, "Whether the Yellow Ape General will bring you back a golden lion or a pile of ashes is up to me!" β
"Then you're looking for death!"
The bearded five old stars were unmoved.
"Hah! Looking for death? I'm saving myself now, five old stars,"
Vlad said disdainfully, "Although I feel very sorry for the Golden Lion seniors, but I still have partners behind me, so I can't help being willful!" β
"We don't care about the life or death of the golden lion!"
The five old stars said.
"What are you kidding? Five Old Stars,"
Vlad said categorically, "I'm afraid you're very concerned about the life and death of the Golden Lion seniors, right?" β
"The only escaped prisoner who has been known as the Great Prison of Copper Coins since it was built, and the legendary sea thief who fought with Roger Whitebeard twenty years ago,"
Vlad said with certainty, "Why are you willing to let such a guy die like this?" What are you kidding, five old stars, don't treat me as a fool! β
"It has been twenty-one years since the opening of the era of pirates, the number of pirates is increasing day by day, and the world situation is becoming more and more erosive, presumably the government must be powerless to do anything about such a situation!"
"So, at this time, if there is a legendary pirate who is called the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard, is captured by the government, how will such news be an inspiration to the civilians who have been plagued by pirates and have lost confidence in the government, and to those member countries who do not believe in the government as before?"
"What kind of deterrent is it for those careerists who have made up their minds to go to sea? You don't need me to explain this ideal to you, do you? Five Old Stars,"
Vlad became more and more confident, "You guys take it for granted, right?" This kind of thing can only be done by a living golden lion, but a golden lion that has been burned to ashes can't do it! Who would believe it? β
"Ah, we caught the golden lion, but we couldn't get anyone, poof!! Uhahahaha!! β
Vlad laughed, "The whole world is going to laugh out loud!" β
ββ¦β¦β
There was silence on the other end of the phone, for a long time,
"It's not enough,"
The bearded five old stars said, "The chips are not enough!" A golden lion is not enough! β
"The golden lion is not enough, but you have to add me!"
Vlad said.
"You?"
The five old stars were a little surprised.
"Of course, my goal is the Seven Martial Seas, and being able to defeat the Golden Lion has proven my strength, right? What kind of deterrence is such a strong person joining the government? You don't need me to tell you such a simple truth, do you? β
Vlad said.
"Seven Martial Seas, you need more than just combat power!"
The Five Old Stars spoke slowly.
Vlad was silent, but he already knew that the matter was already halfway there, and the five old stars were not so resolute.
"Of course I know that the Seven Martial Seas need more than just combat power,"
Vlad said, "That's why I'm more suitable, Five Old Stars, I haven't found out my origin for so long, right?" β
"My father was an excellent navy, so I don't have any ill feelings towards the navy!"
Vlad is not lying, he really has no ill feelings towards the Navy, and the guys who uphold justice don't know how to hate it, except for the government.
ββ¦β¦β
The other side did not speak.
"By the way, you should know about my hatred with Charlotte Lingling, right?"
Vlad put the last straw on the camel's back.
