Chapter 12: The Purpose of the Golden Lion

Ling Chen, who slowly woke up, found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment, and many problems popped up for a while, and he felt a headache.

Puff puff......

Just when Ling Chen felt entangled in the situation in front of him, a very strange voice interrupted his thoughts, and he saw a blue-haired man who looked like a clown appear in his sight.

"Are you awake?" The blue-haired man walked up to Ling Chen and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that the person who was recognized by the captain would be a little ghost like you. ”

"Captain...... The captain in your mouth is the golden lion - Shiki! After hearing the blue-haired man's words, Ling Chen also suddenly came back to his senses, he suddenly fainted in the battle with Shiji, so the captain in the blue-haired man's mouth was very likely to be this sea thief - Shiji.

"Of course, there is no one in the world worthy of being my captain of Indigo except him." The blue-haired man said proudly.

"Indigo...... By the way, he's Dr Indigo, the number one scientist under Shiki! After hearing the man's words, Ling Chen also came back to his senses, he had seen this Dr Indigo when he was watching the golden lion - Shi Ji, he can be said to be the first to follow Shi Ji, and he is also the number one think tank around Shi Ji.

"Why, when you heard that I was a pirate and fell into a pirate den myself, didn't you have the slightest fear?" Looking at Ling Chen's calm expression after learning his identity, Brother Indigo was also a little curious, and asked him with a fierce look in his eyes.

"What is there to be afraid of, whether it is your captain or you, if you wanted to kill me, you would have done it a long time ago. Why wait for me to wake up and talk nonsense with me! Ling Chen still said calmly, although this Dr Indigo's eyes were very vicious. But there was not the slightest murderous aura on his body, and Ling Chen naturally understood that he just wanted to scare himself.

"Hahahahaha. What a smart little ghost, worthy of being Uncle Ben's favorite opponent! At this time, there was a smug smile from above, and I saw that the golden lion, Shiki, was floating in the air at the moment and laughed.

"Captain!" Regarding the appearance of this Shiji, Dr Indigo also immediately saluted him respectfully.

"Alright, Brother Indigo, you go down first." After Shi Ji fell, he waved his hand, asking Dr Indigo to step back for the time being, and he planned to talk to this very peculiar little ghost alone.

"Why, don't you want to ask why I brought you here?" Looking at Ling Chen, who still maintained a calm face when he saw him. Shi Ji was a little unaccustomed to it, so he could only take the lead in asking, and at the same time secretly said that this guy is a little ghost, why is he so calm.

"There's no need to ask, if you want to say it, you will naturally say it, and if I ask, you won't say it." Although there were many questions in his heart, Ling Chen still responded calmly. Although he still doesn't know why Shi Ji brought him here, but since Shi Ji originally intended to save him, he is not murderous at the moment. There shouldn't be any danger.

“…… You little fellow, if it's not for sure you're not a Devil Fruit powerhouse, I'll wonder if you've eaten some rejuvenating fruit. Regarding Ling Chen's calmness that was completely out of line with his age, Shi Ji was also quite surprised and said. If it weren't for seeing Ling Chen, this little ghost could indeed move in the ocean. He really had to suspect that Ling Chen was the one who had consumed the rejuvenating Devil Fruit ability.

"Little one, I'm actually attacking you and bringing you back to my ship. The reason is very simple, it's because I want you to be my subordinate. How is it. "Golden Lion-Shi Ji saw that Ling Chen was reluctant to ask, so he took the initiative to talk about the reason for his behavior.

"When your subordinates...... Hehe. I didn't expect that I could be favored by a sea thief like you, Shiji's senior, this is really my honor! "I didn't expect that when I first came to this pirate world, I was recognized by this legendary pirate, and I wanted to pull myself to join his pirate group, Ling Chen was also secretly taken aback, and responded politely on the surface.

"Hahahahaha, you kid is really interesting, as long as you are willing to join my pirate group and do things well for Uncle Ben, after Uncle Ben gets this world, he will definitely not treat you badly." After hearing Ling Chen's words, Shi Ji thought that he was willing to join his pirate group, and immediately smiled very proudly.

"Senior Shiji, I think you misunderstood, although it is an honor to be appreciated by you, but I still have some very important things to deal with, I can't agree to your request, and I'm used to being free and loose, if I join your team, it may bring you a series of troubles." Seeing that Shi Ji directly regarded his kind words as agreement, Ling Chen was also quite speechless, and immediately explained to him seriously. Although it is said that joining Shiki's pirate group is a good mention, at least it can save Ling Chen a lot of trouble in this strange pirate world, but thinking that he has to change Ace's fate, if he joins Shiki's pirate group, there will inevitably be some unexpected troubles (such as the golden lion - Shiki prevents himself from saving Ace), so Ling Chen still decided to refuse first.

"What's the trouble, after you join Uncle Ben's pirate group, you will be Uncle Ben's subordinate, as long as you listen to Uncle Ben, no matter what trouble Uncle Ben has, Uncle Ben can help you settle it." For Ling Chen's troublesome golden lion, Shi Ji said very disdainfully. In his opinion, as long as Ling Chen, the little guy, is willing to listen to him, then there is nothing to help him deal with some troubles.

"I just can't listen to you, if you don't save Ace, won't I have regrets in this pirate world!" For this Shiji's words, Ling Chen secretly shook his head in his heart, he knows the rules of this pirate world very well, once you join a certain pirate group, then you represent this pirate group, every qiē action has to be arranged by the captain, and if you want to do something alone, if you don't get the captain's consent, then you can only leave the pirate group. So for Ling Chen, who wants to save Ace, joining Shiki's pirates is naturally not a good thing, at least not for now.

"Little one, what are your concerns, just say it!" Seeing that Ling Chen had not made a clear statement, Shi Ji was also a little anxious, and urged him very dissatisfied.

"Uh...... Shiji-senpai, can you answer me a question before I answer your question? Looking at this Shi Kee's serious appearance, Ling Chen also thought about it a little in his heart, and planned to ask him about his attitude towards Whitebeard and Roger, to see if he would save Ace if there was a top war, and if so, it would not hurt to join his pirate group by himself, so that the possibility of making up for the regrets of this world has increased a lot.

"How do you grind and chirp little guy, if you have any problems, just say it!" Shiki said dissatisfied...... (To be continued......)
