Chapter 142: Between Flowers
He was covered in a black cloak and had a slender figure. Using his sight and hearing skills, he could only sense a confusing black fog. Apart from that, there was only a vague breath.
Nerona Im!
The real king of the world, the mastermind behind history!
Lex faces Im for the first time!
Lex heard Im's slightly displeased and indifferent tone, but he was not afraid. He just continued to approach and said in a teasing tone:
"There are quite a lot of flowers here, many of which are from the Kingdom of Flowers. Oh, yes, this is the purple thorn from Elbaf, and this one seems to be from Alabasta--"
"...That's enough! Shut up!"
moment--
An invisible shock wave hit Lex.
It was invisible and intangible, but it shook Lex's internal organs so much that he swallowed the blood that rolled up his throat.
"... Ha, let's talk about something else. This time, I came here to ask you, my ancestor, whether the World Expo can--"
Before Lex could finish his words, Im, under the black robe, turned around suddenly!
What kind of eyes are those?
Like an abyss, circles of blood-red circles, circling around and around, when looking directly into those eyes——
Only one idea——
Is this really a human eye?
It seems to be from hell!
Is the king of the world actually a devil?
It's a visitor from hell~!
Lex remained unmoved, and activated his god-level Observation Haki with all his strength without stopping for a moment, with the Space Fruit ready at all times, ready to escape at any time.
Yim interrupted Lex:
".......There is no need to ask Mu about what Woqiuli and the others promised you......"
turn out to be--
Although Im had never stepped out of the Flower Room, he knew everything about the outside world. At least, Im was very clear about the consensus just reached by Lex and the Five Elders.
But what Lex wanted to ask was not this, but a more sensitive topic:
"You may have misunderstood.... I wanted to ask, can the slave auction at the World Expo include Celestial Dragons? I want to auction Celestial Dragon slaves. I think the Five Elders cannot make the decision on this matter."
"........"
There was no response. When Im heard this, he didn't react at all, unlike Lex who was so impatient when he talked about the flowers among the flowers just now.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
Immediately—
Yim turned around again, with his back to Lex:
"……Can……"
!!!
He agreed!
He actually directly agreed to let Lex auction off the Celestial Dragon slaves!
Perhaps, in His eyes, the Celestial Dragons are really just a consumable.
Lex smiled:
"Thank you for your understanding, old man."
The purpose of this time has been achieved!
However, Lex was not ready to leave.
because--
The sight told him—
It seemed that Yim had not finished speaking.
Predict future.
As expected, Im spoke:
“…Is there anyone worth noting on the sea?…”
Lex didn't expect this to be the question. Im was actually asking himself?
Shouldn't this kind of question be asked to the Five Elders?
Ask yourself?
Is He crazy?
However, it is still necessary to continue to pretend to be submissive.
So Lex answered in a proper manner:
".....Do you want to ask Nika, or——?"
In fact, Lex had no idea what this old monster wanted to ask.
Yimu tilted his head slightly, glanced at the butterfly that had landed on his fingertips at some point, and spoke softly:
"Um……"
Lex understood and then spoke slowly. He did not play dumb and honestly told all the information:
"...If it's Nika, there's no news. You know, I don't know much, and I'm not very interested. There's no trace of that fruit yet... But... as for Joy Boy, there is indeed a man on the sea who seems to have the same qualities as Joy Boy. He is D, full name - Gol D. Roger. I wonder if it could be him?"
!!!
Lex betrayed Roger without hesitation!
Sell it to Im!
The two top people in the world.
Oh no--
To be precise, it was a conversation between a god and a king.
When Yim heard Roger's name, he was not surprised at all. He naturally knew and had paid attention to this man. And because of this, he did not care at all:
"........It's not him, is there another target?"
Im asked Lex again, and there was an inexplicable trust in his words!
What kind of trust is this?
We don't know what kind of feelings Yim has for Lex. Anyway, the two of them are just reminiscing about the past.
Talk as if no one is around.
At least--
Outside the flowers——
The six figures kneeling on the ground were already trembling slightly.
The Five Elder Stars and Fegaland Galinsheng couldn't help but curse in their hearts!
Fuck!
I haven't seen you for three seconds, and you actually ran among the flowers!
However, looking at the current situation——
Lord Im seems to have known Lex for a long time...?
At least, the Five Elders and Fegaland Galin saw... Lex was chatting harmoniously with Lord Im.
When Lex heard Im asking about other targets, he tilted his head slightly, and his long golden hair swayed, as if he was thinking:
"...Oh yeah, there was a slave of the Bakhania tribe who ran away during the Valley of the Gods and ate the Meatball Fruit. He looks a bit like Joey Boy. I wonder if it could be him?"
When Im heard the key words "Bakanni tribe", "Meatball Fruit", "Valley of the Gods", "Joey Boy", "slave", etc., he began to show a little concern.
He directly asked the Five Elders and Saint Jialin who had knelt on the ground outside the flower room without knowing when:
“…Is there such a person?”
Hearing the Lord's question, the Saturn, Saint Jergarcia Satan, who was kneeling on the ground, answered respectfully:
"During the time in the Valley of the Gods, due to Rocks's intrusion, some accidents inevitably occurred. The Meat Ball Fruit was eaten by a young man from the Bakhania tribe, who fled the Valley of the Gods with some slaves."
Upon hearing this, Yimu slightly closed his dark red eyes, then opened them slightly:
".....waste!"
Saturn's head drooped even lower, almost touching the ground.
Seeing this, Lex took the initiative to do a favor, but to whom?
Naturally, it was sold to everyone present:
"Do you need my help? This Bakanni boy who ate the meat ball fruit."
This sentence not only diverted the pressure from old Saturn, but also took the initiative to ask Im.
silence......
No one in the flower room responded to Lex's words.
The Five Elders and Jialin Sheng did not dare to speak.
Yim was still thinking.
"......Not for now. Although the fruit is also very important, at least we know who ate it and where it is..."
Im's words -
It reveals two meanings.
First, the fleshy-ball fruit is crucial, but not the most crucial. At least, the Nika fruit is definitely more important than it.
Secondly, even if the young boy (bear) of the Bakanni tribe is found, it will be impossible to accurately retrieve the Meat-Ball Fruit.
"...Is that so?...Okay."
Lex didn't really care.
The conversation so far has not deviated from Lex's prediction.
Lex made full use of his advantage of being familiar with the plot and history.
