Chapter 193: Dependent
In the South China Sea, in the 'Snake Nest' of the Cloud Country, there is almost no existence of the old part of the Snake King at this moment. The cadres of 'Coral' stood outside the gate of the royal hall with a few CPs dressed in black clothes with blue noses and swollen faces, waiting for Victor to end his conversation with the five old stars.
The Land of Clouds is not now being burned and plundered by 'Coral' as the world imagined.
In fact, on the contrary, except for two residents who choked on food when they heard the news of the defeat of the Serpent King, not a single person in the whole country was harassed by the 'Coral' side, let alone looted and killed.
It's just a change of ruler, and the life still has to live. The citizens of the Land of Clouds didn't pay much attention to the death of the Serpent King.
It is okay to say that they are insensitive or indifferent, but this is the brainwashing hint that the Serpent King has carried out on them, and Liquaid is simply using these citizens as toys to make up for the regret of losing his country and people as the crown prince. He only needs the people to bow down to the 'king', and he doesn't need the people to think too much.
By the way, the brainwashing unleashed by the Serpent King cannot be eliminated by conventional means. You can't even easily tell who has been brainwashed by his hints, after all, they behave like normal people before they have the ability to activate.
Even the death of the initiator of the ability of Riquid could not cancel this hallucinogenic brainwashing that was deeply implanted in the very bottom of the mind.
In the empty royal hall of the 'Serpent's Nest' at the top of the palace at the top of the Cloud Realm, Victor was sitting lazily on the throne at the head of the royal hall, and the steel chain fingers were slightly bent over Victor like the most loyal butler, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand holding a special silver telephone bug. The phone bug's face has changed to an old face, and his expression is extremely indifferent:
"Victor...... We told you that, right? Don't mess with the Serpent King of the South Seas! Why deliberately disobey our orders! ”
Victor took the apple handed by Melancholy Blues and took a bite, and then replied lightly: "[To deal with those thorny pirates in the four outer seas and pave the way for that plan], didn't we make an appointment a long time ago? Why did you send someone to blame me now, old man? By the way, it's time for you to change messengers, those little brothers are so angry that they were beaten up by my lovely subordinates, and if I didn't stop them, I guess they would have been beaten to death. ”
"Don't change the subject for me! Victor! The other end of the phone bug was furious: "Is the King of Snakes a pirate!?" Don't confuse the concept! Do you know that when we heard that you had an appointment with the Serpent King, we broke out in a cold sweat! ”
Victor chuckled: "Oh, it's for [brainwashing], right?" Isn't that nothing happened, and it turned out to be good, right? ”
"Do you think if something really goes wrong, you'll be able to sit there and talk to us?" The phone bug changed his face again, with blonde hair and a short beard, and his tone was more stern and hurried: "Correct your attitude, Mafia Victor!" We can give you status and resources, or we can take them away at will. ”
"The plan is approaching, so let's stop bluffing and threatening each other, there is no point."
Victor leaned back on the back of the throne and said in a relaxed tone: "Take what you need, that's the essence of [trading], right?" ”
The "......" phone bug's face changed again, and it changed to a bald and serious face, and his tone was a little kinder: "Sometimes, handling heavy chores requires more professional people, Victor. ”
"Understand ~ the legacy of the Serpent King, fifty-fifty." Victor waved his hand casually: "We don't have the spare time to deal with such huge assets and affairs, old man, you can send some professionals over there." ”
"It's convenient to talk to smart people."
The tone of the phone bug was even more softening: "Remember, what you have to do now is to pay attention to the convergence of the edge in addition to that thing." The Four Emperors are more or less starting to notice you, we don't care about Jinping's side, but don't provoke the other Seven Martial Seas anymore. ”
Victor smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder." In a few days, the World Government may need a positive response, and I will leave it to you. ”
The phone bug vividly imitated the kind laughter of the other side: "Hehe...... Rest assured. ”
With a click, the phone bug was hung up by the other side.
Victor sat quietly on his throne, deep in thought.
The five old stars are not completely monolithic, some of them are full of suspicion of themselves, some of them are kind to themselves, and of course, some of them remain neutral. Eight points of acting and two points of truth, no matter what, the overall attitude of the five old stars is still supporting themselves.
After all, when it comes to that big plan, at this point, they won't turn their faces on themselves because of a snake king. But between the words, you can feel a little jealous of themselves, after all, they are no longer the fledgling rookie who only has 'potential' worth bragging about.
[Awakening] will be the biggest hole card for you to have the right to speak, and this world is still respected by strength after all.
Even if they want to maintain supremacy, they can't just rely on the ethereal title of 'Descendant of the Creator' if they want to maintain their supreme dominance, they must have powerful hole cards to rely on!
A zippered square box emerges from Victor's palm, and when the lid is opened, a green pineapple covered in a spiral pattern lies in it.
This fruit was formed by the melting and condensation of all his flesh and bones after the death of Riquid, and it is an immortal fruit, which is the eternal existence of Siz among the three pillar gods.
However, Victor had no idea of eating this 'god' fruit for his chain stand-in at all, not because he was afraid of being controlled by Sitz, but because it was too disgusting.
The fruit of flesh and blood? Whoever likes to eat eats, I don't touch it anyway!
Of course, the legacy of the Serpent King is not limited to this one Devil Fruit, the wealth and arms spread all over the countries of the South China Sea are so large that even 'Coral' can't swallow it in a hurry. Victor is not the short-sighted type, just a little money, the world government will give them half if they want, and the most important thing is to stabilize the current situation.
And I have more important things to do at the moment.
Victor stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and the door of the royal hall slowly opened automatically. The 'Coral' cadres who were gathering at the door and whispering all looked at the royal hall, waiting for the leader's order.
"Ready to get started." Victor stood up from his throne, and the steel chain fingers automatically turned into black velvet and draped over Victor's shoulders.
"Announce to the world the official establishment of the [Hunter Guild]!"
