Chapter 243: Temptation and Controversy

Nine Snake Island is a powerful country, and in the first half of the Great Voyage, Nine Snake Island is almost as strong as the top three.

But at the same time, because of its location in the windless zone, the economy of Nine Snake Island is not developed, and it even seems to be very backward in some places.

However, the economic backwardness could not hide the strong force of Nine Snake Island.

In Nine Snake Island, mastering the armed color domineering is almost the standard for a warrior, and almost thirty percent of the people in the entire Nine Snake Island can use domineering skillfully.

It's a very scary country!

It is also a country that is very coveted!

"Are you a pirate or a revolutionary?"

Immortal Reilly asked.

The smoke could not hide the glint in Reilly's eyes, and the two eyes watched Lin's every move, as if to see through Lin's heart.

Shaking his head and chuckling, Lin said:

"Why would Mr. Reilly ask that?"

"There was once a person who came all the way from the East China Sea to my hometown and invited me to go to sea, although I was not familiar with this person, but the temperament of this person made me choose to go to sea without hesitation."

"Roger?"

"That's right!"

Reilly turned his head to the forest.

"In you, I feel the will to pursue freedom, but this will is not something that a navy can have!"

"So you suspect I'm a pirate or a revolutionary?"

"Nine Snakes Island is a special place! I don't want it to be exploited by careerists! Reilly said in a positive voice.

Hearing this, Lin finally understood Reilly's purpose.

Because of Lin's temperament, Reilly suspected that Lin was a pirate or a revolutionary army at all, and came to Nine Snakes to gain Hancock's heart just to bring the strong military power of Nine Snakes Island under his command, so as to warn Lin.

"I'm a partner with Dragon!" Lin said softly.

"Dragons?"

"So you're a revolutionary?" Reilly said.

"No, no, no!"

Lin waved his hand and denied it.

"We're just a partnership!"

"And I'm sure that someday in the future, Mr. Reilly and I may have some collaboration!"

"Haha, interesting!" Reilly laughed.

"So that means you admit you're a pirate?"

"You still don't understand what I'm talking about! Mr. Reilly! Lin sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Huh?"

"What do you think of as a pirate?" Lin asked.

Reilly was stunned, but he didn't expect Lin to ask such a 'strange' question.

"What are pirates?" Reilly muttered softly.

"Chasing dreams is a pirate!" Lin said.

"Chasing the truth is a pirate!"

"The pursuit of freedom is also a pirate!"

After a pause of two seconds, Lin looked at the pensive Reilly.

"Is it a pirate?"

"Is murder and arson a pirate?"

"Isn't it a pirate to do all kinds of evil?"

"Hehe, do you see that?"

"These are pirates!"

Lin leaned over to Reilly and looked at Reilly, who was lost in thought.

"Roger is seriously ill and dying, and wants to reveal it to the world, maybe he thought about the consequences of doing so!"

"In order to pursue that 'treasure', countless people will go to sea, countless people will become pirates, countless people will pour into that sea, and maybe one or two people who will inherit Roger's will will appear and reveal the hidden truth."

"But!"

"Isn't that a bit too much to pay?"

Lin looked at Reilly with unshying eyes.

"Countless families have been torn apart because of the era of the pirates!"

"Life and death cycle in which people who are injured by pirates end up becoming pirates!"

"The so-called pirates who seek the treasure of the dream of freedom fill the whole sea!"

"Is this fair to those in villages where they would have lived peacefully in a corner, but have been flooded by this restless sea?"

Reilly's eyes were like torches, looking at the vibrant Lin.

"Are you criticizing Captain Roger?"

It seemed that if a 'yes' was said from Lin's mouth, Reilly would do it without hesitation.

Although Roger has been dead for many years, he has always been a partner in Reilly's heart.

"Hey, hey!" Lin laughed.

"Of course not!"

With a slight tap of his index finger, he flicked the ash off the cigarette butt, took a deep breath, and squinted into the distance.

"Bucky the Clown, Mr. Reilly shouldn't be a stranger!"

"That's the ship's apprentice!" Reilly said.

"That's right!" Lin breathed a sigh of relief and exhaled the smoke from his lungs.

"The two apprentices on your ship are really very different, one has become the Four Emperors who dominate the New World, and the other has become a little pirate in the East China Sea."

Hearing Lin say this casually, Reilly smiled slightly.

"Those days are really nostalgic!"

"I won't talk about the redhead!" Lin stepped on the cigarette butt.

"But do you know what Bucky the Clown did in the East China Sea?"

Reilly's eyes froze slightly.

"He destroyed no less than three towns in the East China Sea, and no less than a hundred civilians died under his hands!"

"This is also from your Roger Pirates!"

Reilly was silent.

"If you want to dig out the carrion on your body, you will definitely affect the healthy part of the body, and the bigger the carrion, the greater the scope of health."

Lin said to himself.

"When the carrion is large enough to reach a certain range, if you are not sure enough, if you dig up the carrion, will it be destroyed along with this person?"

Reilly drank in silence.

"Bucky the Clown, tell me everything!"

Reilly stopped the bottle in his hand and glanced at Lin.

"Roger learns the truth of the 100 years of the vanishing void and is determined to set off the tide that has swept the whole world and return everything to its rightful place."

"Now that you've got the answer you want from Bucky, what do you think?"

"Haha!" Lin lay on the ground with his head resting on his hands.

"Of course one piece exists!"

"Haha! Hahaha, so many people in the world don't believe in the existence of One Piece, and you Navy actually believe in the existence of One Piece! Reilly shook his head mockingly.

"The only one who can see the situation clearly is the bystander!" Lin said something inconsequential.

"Huh?" Reilly looked sideways at Lin.

Today's temptation is basically over so far.

Reilly had already gotten the answer he wanted, and he was already convinced that Lin was not the kind of careerist who wanted to take advantage of the strong national power of Nine Snake Island.

"Shanks is not a good heir!"

Just when Reilly was still immersed in what Lin had just said, such a sentence suddenly popped out of Lin's mouth.

"I've met him a few times."

Lin didn't look at the reaction of Leiley next to him, and said to himself.

"He's not a changemaker!"

"He doesn't have Roger's courage, all he can do is wait, wait for the person who has truly inherited Roger's will to appear, and before that person grows up, he will make this sea as stable as possible!"

"Shanks is still too..., kind!" Reilly said.

Lin smiled.

"That's right, so he chose someone."

"Mr. Reilly, you!"

"Would you like to meet the man Shanks chose?"
