Chapter 118 Monkey D. Dragon
Chapter 118 Monkey D. Dragon
Lubo Island, located in the southeastern offshore area.
Sengoku stood at the bow of the ship and lowered his telescope.
"The battle is over..."
He let out a soft sigh.
"I never imagined Kaido had become this strong..."
The time he led his team to arrive was almost exactly when Kaido was absorbing the life force of the entire island to recover his strength.
I watched almost the entire thing: how Kaido imprisoned Lugi Arno at the center point, and how he summoned three thousand-armed Buddhas to beat Lugi Arno mercilessly.
Of course, as a spectacle on the battlefield, Kaido and Bakin's unique poses were also noticed by Sengoku.
To this, Sengoku could only say, "Kaido really knows how to play the game..."
"So, is there a chance?"
Beside Sengoku, Zephyr, who had become a general, asked softly.
Sengoku gently shook his head. "It seems there's no chance."
"The final burning of the entire island should be Kaido's warning to us."
"Especially the fiery cloud he released into the sky at the end, it was also telling us that he could escape from the sky at any time, so that we shouldn't waste our energy."
Upon hearing this, Zefa became so agitated that he punched the air with his fist.
"Ugh! Another wasted trip!!"
"It wasn't entirely fruitless."
Sengoku stroked his chin and said:
"At least we can confirm that Lugi Arno has been killed. His assets and influence after his death are the biggest gains of this trip."
"Furthermore, Kaido's fondness for women might become a new breakthrough for us in the future."
Upon hearing this, Zefa looked noncommittal.
After becoming an admiral, he never considered advancing to the rank of admiral.
Therefore, he generally doesn't bother to think about these politically-oriented considerations.
"So what should we do next? Just slink back like this?"
"No!"
Sengoku shook his head again. "Perhaps we could send a negotiation expert to talk to Kaido."
“His situation is very special, unlike Shiki’s.”
"He not only has the ability to fly and is not afraid of our encirclement and suppression, but he is also a negotiable partner."
"If we're lucky, we might be able to reach an agreement with him similar to the one in Xihai."
"Of course, it can't be exactly the same as the West Sea, but at least it should prevent him from attacking member states at will."
At this point, Sengoku beckoned a young major general from the ship to his side.
He told the young admiral his requirements and then instructed him: "Don't provoke Kaido. Although you are strong, you are no match for him."
"We must prioritize our own safety. Zefa and I will stay here and watch. If the negotiations fail, we'll retreat as soon as possible."
The young major general nodded slightly, then saluted, "Mission accomplished!!"
"Speak," he said, turning to face the island and leaping into the air.
His lower body transformed into an invisible whirlwind, propelling his body forward at high speed.
He did not fly into the sky.
Not long ago, I witnessed a veteran Logia-type powerhouse die at Kaido's hands.
Although he was confident in his abilities, since the main objective of this mission was negotiation, there was no need to fly into the sky and provoke Kaido.
They flew over the sea, around raging fires, and towards the towns in the northwest.
Who are you?!
Sonny noticed his arrival almost immediately.
His hands were on the hilts of the sword at his waist, and his body crackled with electricity, as if he could suddenly strike at any moment.
"Wait! Wait!"
The young major general stopped flying about 100 meters from Sonny, resumed normal flight, and stood on the roof of a house.
He held his hands out in front of him, indicating a refusal to fight.
"I'm not here to fight! I'm here to negotiate!"
Sonny remained silent, staring at him coldly.
The young major general breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sonny hadn't made a move.
As long as they're not the type to attack the moment you meet them, everything else will be fine.
"The naval fleet is currently in the southeastern waters of the island, led by Admiral Sengoku and Admiral Zephyr. I am their envoy."
Are you threatening me?
Sonny said with a stern face, "Two generals were dispatched at the same time, and you're the one who's brought in to negotiate? Are you kidding me!"
"That's because you have the ability to fly, so you can run away whenever you want."
The young major general was somewhat helpless.
In fact, with his abilities, he could have stopped Kaido from escaping by flying.
However, the Warring States period believed that his strength was not enough.
Once he flies into the sky and faces Kaido one-on-one, he will likely be completely killed by Kaido.
That's why Sengoku didn't consider directly attacking the Beasts Pirates.
Hearing the young major general's helpless sigh, Sonny did not lower his guard, but his tone softened slightly.
"Captain Kaido is resting right now. If there's anything you'd like to discuss, feel free to tell me, and I'll pass it on to him after his rest ends."
"I know he's taking a break..."
The young major general's expression was slightly strange.
"Well, we saw it through the telescope."
Upon hearing this, Sonny's expression also turned strange.
"Ahem, since you know, you should quickly tell them what happened."
"No rush, no rush! We have enough patience to wait for him to finish. It will only take half an hour or an hour at most."
Sonny glanced at the young major general with disdain.
An hour? Who do you think you are?!
However, he had no interest in arguing with the young major general about this matter.
"Since you're not willing to leave, then just wait there."
"Don't even think about doing anything bad. I'll be watching you closely!"
As he spoke, Sonny also leaped onto the roof of the house next to him, and looked at the young major general from afar.
The young major general was helpless, but he could understand the other side's wariness.
So, to avoid getting bored while waiting, he simply sat cross-legged on the roof.
"There's no point in just sitting here like this. How about we get to know each other?"
"My name is Monkey D. Dragon. What's yours?"
"Monkey D?!"
Sonny noticed the surname almost instantly.
What is your relationship with the naval hero Garp?
“That’s my dad.”
Dorrag replied with a look of utter despair.
He has answered this question countless times and for countless people.
Being that person's son is truly exhausting.
"I've already answered your question, but you haven't answered mine yet."
“Capone Sonny! You should know who I am, from the bounty poster.”
Dragon grinned. "That's so boring! If we're going to be friends, you should introduce yourself!"
"Who wants to be your friend!" Sunny snapped angrily. "I'm a pirate! You're a marine! We're natural enemies!"
