Pirate: My partner is too crooked

The next day, with the rapid spread of newspaper delivery seagulls, the world that had been quiet for a few days was once again ignited by exploding news newspapers.

All the powerful people in the sea and even ordinary civilians have deeply felt that the pattern of the times is about to undergo earth-shaking changes.

This time, Morgans didn't go for eye-catching headlines.

Because the content itself is super exciting!
  [The storm is rising, a new era is coming, the new king Shichibukai and the new emperor of the sea are born! 】

Under the bright red title, there are two domineering illustrations occupying a large area of ​​​​the section: Lin Zhi holding a pair of thunder swords, and the domineering red-haired Shanks!
  The accompanying text information recorded in detail these two major events that were enough to shake the world.

This includes the decisive battle between Lin Zhi and his gang and Crocodile, who is also a Shichibukai, in the Alabasta desert.

And the whole process of the red-haired pirates challenging one of the current four emperors, successfully defeating him and replacing him!
  Two events happened at almost the same time, one in Alabasta in the first half and the other in the New World in the second half. It is not an exaggeration to say that the huge impact it had on the entire Grand Line was felt.

From here, it is not difficult to find that Morgans’s intelligence network is really abnormal.

Not only can you get the general battle situation of these two battlefields at the first time, but also related on-site photos!

The whole world was trembling, and all forces were undercurrent.

New world.

The three-masted whale bow sailing on the calm sea, the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, Moby Dick.

On the main seat of the spacious deck, a man with long blond hair drank heavily, his sharp eyes falling on the newspaper in front of him.

"Gu la la la! Are there new Yonko and Shichibukai? This sea that has been silent for a long time since Roger's death has finally become a little lively!"

The world's strongest man, white-bearded Edward Newgate, let out a domineering and hearty laugh, "The new era seems to be coming much faster than Roger expected..."

Unlike ten years later when he was seriously ill and hung up with bottles, he was still domineering at this point in time. Although not as strong as at his peak, he had not completely weakened yet.

"Shanks, I didn't expect that he is now a man in the same position as dad..."

On the side of the deck, Marco the Phoenix sighed in a low voice.

I recall that when I followed my father and fought against the Roger Pirates, the other party was still a brat a few years younger than me.

"If you want to stand on top of the world, that red-haired brat still needs a long way to go. Compared to this..."

Whitebeard moved his eyes away from Shanks' photo and landed on the other side of the page. "I really want to see with my own eyes the little thunder and lightning kid who even the Celestial Dragons dare to kill."

"Dad, do you want to go to Alabasta?" Team [-] captain Sachi asked curiously.

"Forget it, we will meet in the new world sooner or later." Whitebeard raised his head and drank the wine.

Click click.

At this moment, the sound of chewing food coming from an inconspicuous corner on the deck caught his attention.

It was a man with black hair and beard and several missing teeth.

"Tiqi, how have you considered the proposal I told you earlier?" Whitebeard asked casually.

Hearing this, the core cadres of the Whitebeard Pirates looked up at Tikki who was holding a cherry pie in his hand.

"Spare me, dad. No matter in terms of strength or ability, I don't have the slightest qualification to become the captain of the second team."

Tikki, who was wearing simple white clothes, stopped chewing, looked modest, and scratched his head in frustration.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing his silly look, the other cadres laughed.

Obviously, this is not the first time that Teach is unwilling to be the captain of the second team after Oden.

"It's up to you, but as a man, don't underestimate yourself too much."

Whitebeard, who knew Teach's thoughts, did not force it, but only gave affirmation from a father's perspective.

"Got it, Dad!"

The corners of Tikki's mouth, still stained with cherry pie remnants, were raised, revealing a bright and honest smile.

Under this sunny smile, no one, including Whitebeard, could know the sinister thoughts deep in Teach's heart at this time.

'What a blessing. After Shanks defeated the Four Emperors, he happened to let me know the information about that fruit! ’

……

All nations, cake island.

"What on earth do those bastards in the World Government think that they allow two brats who are still young to sit in such a high position?!"

The Yonko aunt wearing a pirate hat kept stuffing the desserts in front of her into her mouth. Her originally slender and graceful perfect figure had begun to become bloated.

Dedicated to creating a country with all races in the world, she has stopped doing business in recent years and focused entirely on having children.

Known as the Steel Balloon, she has a strong foundation. Even without much training, she can still maintain her position as the Four Emperors and occupy a place in the new world where strong people gather.

"Mom, it is said that Lin Zhi and his group already have the combat power to fight against the navy admiral. They may pose a considerable threat to our territorial expansion in the future."

Katakuri, who was thirty-six years old at the time, had a scarf draped over his face.

He has a calm and calm personality. Through various previous incidents, he saw that Lin Zhi and his group were not simple.

"Well, well, well! There is nothing to worry about. He is just a kid who happened to gain powerful abilities. If he dares to come to the new world to challenge us, I will let him see the horror of the pirate world!"

The aunt, who was immersed in cooking, had a look of disdain on her face. Thinking of the handsome and clean face in the newspaper, she muttered in a low voice, "I just don't know, is that kid a rare race?"

To be able to grow from an unknown person to such an extent in just a few months does not seem like a talent that ordinary humans should have.

At this point in time, her IQ was still more or less online, and she could tell that Lin Zhi probably had quite a secret!
  ……

Wano country, ghost island.

"Uh-huh-huh! A girl with the terrifying power to defeat the quasi-general Sakaski? What a blessing. That brat Lin Zhi actually found such a partner."

Kaido, the beast, was sitting on the throne, holding the newspaper that had just been delivered in his hand.

Below, Jhin, Quinn, Jack, Ling Kong Liuzi and other core cadres were all present.

Surprisingly, sixteen-year-old Yamato was also among them.

From Oden's logbook, she saw all kinds of interesting adventures. She longed for the sea outside and was eager to learn any information related to it.

"The time to meet again is getting closer and closer. I'll just look forward to seeing what kind of unexpected surprises you can bring then."

Kaido used his strong arms to crush the newspaper into pieces, and a cruel and ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sea Restaurant, no, I should call you King Shichibukai now, Lin Zhi!"

In Lin Zhi, who is constantly rising, he sees the hope that he can fight without reservation, and is eager for this battle that can make him feel full!
  What? Why don't you think Kaido went to Whitebeard who was in his semi-prime?

He is a fighting maniac, not a brainless idiot...

In fact, as the sea emperor of this era, he actually had several brief battles with Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world.

It's just that the result is not so beautiful.

Yamato in the crowd looked at Kaido blankly.

In all these years, it was the first time she saw such an excited and expectant look on the face of her cold-blooded biological father.

Naturally, he developed an extremely strong curiosity about the "little devil" that Kaido mentioned repeatedly.

The extremely evil Lei Linzhi, what kind of man is he?

……

An unknown island, a hidden revolutionary army headquarters.

"He actually accepted the invitation from King Shichibukai. What a strange and unpredictable boy."

Ivankov's big face was full of surprise.

Compared with red-haired Shanks becoming the new emperor of the sea, the revolutionary army is more concerned about Lin Zhi, who is very likely to be on the same front as them.

"Let me just say it! This bastard is a shameless profiteer who can even defraud children out of their money!"

Next to him, little Sabo with a bandage on his head was indignant.

Looking at Lin Zhi's flamboyant and handsome photo, the anger of being defrauded of money kept pouring out in his heart.

After recovering his memory, he did not return to Windmill Village, but chose to continue training at the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

Having seen the corruption and disgrace of the Kingdom of Goa, he also wanted to follow in Dorag's footsteps and realize the great ideal of liberating the world.

"This news alone is not enough to shake the judgment we made before."

Monkey D. Dorag looked calm and did not see any big emotional fluctuations. "Let time reveal the answer. I believe that man will not let us down!"

Hearing this, Ivankov, who witnessed Lin Zhi's group attacking the Celestial Dragons in the Shampoo Islands, fell into a brief silence.

He/she agreed with Dorag's view, so he/she did not continue to dwell on this topic.

"Speaking of which, do you want to tell Xiong Zai the information you just obtained about Jinny?"

Dorag's expression became quite serious: "Keep it a secret for now, don't let that bear guy do something stupid."

Among them, there are also complex and difficult entanglements.

"understood."

Ivankov sighed heavily.

After thinking a lot, I finally didn’t come up with the idea of ​​going to the Holy Land Marie Joa to rescue Ginny.

Unlike Fischer Tiger's time, the Draconians imprisoning Ginny in Mariejoia was an act in itself to lure the Revolutionary Army into action, and they had already been prepared to send them to their door.

In this situation where the revolutionary army has just started, a little carelessness driven by impulse will cause everyone's efforts to be in vain!
  Although this is very cruel to Ginny and Bear, Ivankov also understands the importance of putting the overall situation first.

He also knew what kind of pain and entanglement Dolag was going through under his calm face at this moment.

……

The news that Lin Zhi became the king of the Shichibukai shocked familiar faces from all over the world who had been in contact with them.

The outside world has gone completely crazy, but here in Alabasta, Lin Zhi and his group, who were informed of this news in advance, seemed very calm.

——Except for Brooke whose bounty was fixed on the humiliating 888 Bailey.

As for Aqua, who has a high self-esteem and is unwilling to cooperate with the dirty world government no matter what, she was easily taken care of by the two boxes of wine promised by Lin Zhi.

In fact, in Lin Zhi's plan, they would not stay in a position like King Shichibukai for too long.

When the strength is almost accumulated, and the partners can all stand alone without fear of interference from the world government, it's time to angrily lift the table and initiate a team battle!

Perhaps, all it takes is a big enough shocking event.

"Mr. Lin Zhi, I never thought that you would become the last King of the Shichibukai." In the lobby, Cobra looked out the window at Alabasta, which was gradually improving, and couldn't help but sigh.

In the previous transaction with Lin Zhi, he was still worried that excessive publicity about the wanted Aqua would bring fatal threats and troubles to the kingdom.

But now, by cooperating with them who have been labeled as "legal", there is no need to worry about being targeted by the world government.

Even the famous name of King Shichibukai can greatly deter pirates who covet Alabasta and reduce the possibility of coastal cities being attacked.

Compared with Crocodile, who has evil intentions, it is obvious that Kobra has more faith in Lin Zhi and Aqua, who truly bring a happy life to the people!
  ——When Lin Zhi accepted the invitation, Crocodile, whose Taoist heart collapsed, was taken away by General Warring States and accepted for interrogation and investigation.

As for the final outcome, whether he will be imprisoned in a deep sea prison or released without charge, it is unknown.

However, Lin Zhi's guess is more inclined to the latter.

After all, at this point in time, Crocodile, although there are signs of stealing and controlling Alabasta, has not taken any substantive action such as provoking a large-scale civil war.

To be honest, in the short time he came to Alabasta, he did more than help civilians repel the incoming pirates!
  Even if Lao Sha would return to the sea as he judged, Lin Zhi didn't take it seriously.

Not to mention that their combat power will continue to soar. Even if they stay still, if they encounter him on the sea, they can easily take out Crocodile!

"Having said that, King Kobra, don't be too relaxed."

Lin Zhi, who was sitting on the sofa, noticed Kobra's peace of mind, crossed his legs casually, and said in a deep voice, "There is only a transaction between us. You can borrow the name of His Majesty Qibukai, but I will not make it public." Asylum Alabasta.”

They will definitely have to confront the World Government in the future. In that case, the islands and countries that have publicly protected them will suffer tragic disasters.

Even Alabasta is one of the important franchise countries of the World Government!

"I understand what you mean. It is my duty as a king to protect the country."

Kobra nodded heavily, his eyes firm.

"In our hometown, there is a saying that one is born in sorrow and dies in happiness."

After a brief pause, Lin Zhi continued, "Although the drought problem in Alabasta has been solved, your next challenge has just begun."

Hearing this, Kobra fell into deep thought.

After thinking clearly about the stakes, he stood up and bowed slightly to express his gratitude: "Thank you for reminding me, I will keep it in my heart!"

At this moment, two small figures ran in from outside, one after the other.

Weiwei, who looked anxious, and Kosha, a young man with a determined expression, quickly came to Lin Zhi.

"Lin Zhi, I heard from Aqua, are you leaving Alabasta early tomorrow morning?!" Weiwei, dressed as a princess, asked.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, she lived very harmoniously with everyone, so she always called each other by their names.

It's the same as her calling Icarim and Bell.

"Yes, everything that needs to be done is done, and we have no reason to stay in Alabasta."

Lin Zhi smiled and stretched out his hands to touch Xiao Weiwei's long, silky hair.

After joining the King's Shichibukai, they had more time and didn't have to be in such a hurry to get to Fish-Man Island.

Considering that it was not far from the Twin Gorges, he wanted to take Brooke to meet Rab first.

By the way, I went to the Drum Kingdom and got the special material that Meow Meow needs to use to make the second-generation machine - Valbo alloy!

"that……"

Although Weiwei was disgusted by the demeaning action of touching people's heads, she did not show much resistance. She raised her clear eyes and looked at Lin Zhi, "Can you take me and Kousha with you!"

Before Lin Zhi could respond, Cobra and Ikarem beside him were startled: "Weiwei, what did you say?!"

"Father, Ikarem, we want to go out and see the magnificent sea that Aqua mentioned!"

Weiwei's young face showed a look of longing and anticipation.

Kosha beside him nodded heavily.

"No, Princess Weiwei, the outside world is super dangerous. You are still children now." Ikarem said hurriedly.

"We are not children anymore! We are the leader and deputy leader of the Shasha Group!" Weiwei retorted firmly.

Cobra put his hand on his forehead. He was well aware of Weiwei's stubborn temper and looked directly at Lin Zhi: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Zhi, for causing trouble to you. Weiwei has always been such a straightforward character. I hope Please do not mind that."

"fine."

Lin Zhi waved his hand casually, turned back to Weiwei and Kou Sha, and said, "Let's talk about the reasons why you two want to go to sea."

Hearing this, Weiwei raised her hand first and answered: "I want to become an outstanding goddess like Aqua and bring happiness to the people of the country!"

Kou Sha glanced at Lin Zhi with some fear, and then plucked up the courage to say seriously: "I want to become stronger through experience and protect everyone in the village from being invaded by pirates!"

"That's it. Your ultimate goal is to protect your country. It's a great dream." Lin Zhi nodded in affirmation.

Upon seeing this, both Weiwei and Kosha showed joy on their faces.

Just when they thought Lin Zhihui would agree, the latter's words were like a bucket of cold water, poured directly on their faces.

"But I'm sorry, I can't take you away."

Lin Zhi took away the hand that was touching Weiwei's head, stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the lobby.

"You are too weak now. If you want to get on my ship, you must at least make a name for yourself."

"If you can't make decent achievements in your own country, you are not qualified to go overseas and become our partner!"

Looking at Lin Zhi's tall back, the excited Weiwei and Kousha lowered their heads slowly.

Although they were only seven or eight-year-old children, they were much calmer than children of the same age, and they quickly understood the meaning of Lin Zhi's words.

"I understand, Lin Zhi, I will definitely become a qualified princess of the kingdom to show you!"

"Me, me too, I will definitely become a famous hero!"

After hearing the correct answer he wanted, Lin Zhi turned around with a bright smile on his lips.

"Then it's agreed that when that time comes, I will come to pick you up."

"Well, it's agreed!" x2
  ……

Despite all the reluctance, this trip to Alabasta finally reached the moment of separation.

Early the next morning, countless residents densely packed the entire port coast.

Despite the fact that they had to endure the sunshine that was quickly becoming harsh and the wind and sand rolled up by the desert made them feel uncomfortable, the skinny and thin people came here early to say their final goodbyes after hearing the news that Lin Zhi and his group were about to leave.

After all, this is the great benefactor who brings hope and salvation to their entire country!
  Right in front of the crowd was the royal family of Alabasta, headed by Kobra and Vivi.

Further ahead in the offshore waters, the kung fu manatees were all humane with tears streaming down their faces, waving their arms crazily towards the head of Sister Kangna on the Infinite Dream.

On the deck of the Infinite Dream, Lin Zhi and his group looked at the tens of thousands of people on the coastline in shock.

"Viv, Kosa, try your best to become a super good person! And everyone in Alabasta, see you later!"

As the goddess of water believed by many believers, Aqua summoned the goddess folding fan and performed a wave of flowers, birds, wind and moon that she was good at.

The spring water spurting high up emitted colorful brilliance under the refraction of the early morning sunlight.

"Goodbye, Lord Aqua, Lord Lin Zhi, and all the powerful and reliable adults!!"

The coast was bustling with people, and the civilians who had escaped from the prison of drought expressed their heartfelt gratitude with the most enthusiastic emotions.

Under the leadership of an unknown wise man with wise eyes, the people who began to feel a little mentally disturbed read out the teachings of the Axis Cult loudly toward the Infinite Dream that was setting sail.

Lin Zhi, aware of this sign, silently expressed his sincere apology to Kobra in his heart.

He really had no way to guarantee what Alabasta would look like in the future!
  Unlike his friends who were immersed in waving goodbye to Alabasta, Lin Zhi, after apologizing, slowly withdrew his gaze from Cobra, with a trace of surprise flashing deep in his eyes.

Through the dual combination of knowledge, color and radio waves, he soon caught a sight of a blind man wearing a purple coat and holding a cane in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd.

Perhaps because he was far away and the other party didn't have any ill intentions, he didn't catch this guy's aura.

It was only at this moment that he felt the domineering aura that was incompatible with the surrounding civilians.

That was the future admiral of the Navy Headquarters recruited from the world's military conscription. Fujitora smiled!
  Fujitora, who was mixed in the crowd, raised his eyebrows. His domineering look was very powerful, and Lin Zhi did not hide it deliberately.

Therefore, he was also aware of the fact that he was being watched.

"Not very smart but too plain and pure, the goddess of water, Brother Lin Zhi, you made my spur-of-the-moment trip to Alabasta very valuable."

Fujitora smiled and put the staff knife on his waist, clasped his hands and bowed slightly in the direction of the Infinite Dream, "I can't thank you enough."

I really want to see what they look like when they are able to make so many civilians exude joy and joy.

If these eyes hadn't closed so quickly...

Just when Yixiao felt deeply sorry for this, his slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, revealing the whites of his eyes full of shock.

Through his powerful insight and knowledge, he captured Lin Zhi's hearty voice on the ship in the distance.

"Hey, Mr. Mighty Blind, do you want to come to my ship?"

After a brief shock, he smiled and shook his head gently.

"Thank you for the invitation, but I still want to go to more places to find the truth about this world filled with darkness."

He declined Lin Zhi's invitation to board the ship.

"Well, that's really a pity."

Lin Zhi sighed softly, not too surprised by this answer.

"Hey, Lin Zhi, what do you mean it's such a pity?"

Aqua, who had keen ears, immediately came over, her blue eyes narrowed slightly, and her flawless face was filled with arrogance and pride.

"Could it be that you feel disappointed that this goddess stole the limelight?"

"Hahaha! In fact, there is no need to be too sad. After all, you are just a cunning human being. It is not particularly embarrassing to lose to the goddess~"

Lin Zhi turned his head sideways and looked at Aqua as if he was looking at a retard. No, he was looking at a retard.

"Sorry, I don't want to be compared to a coward who's scared by a mere desert crocodile."

"Bastard Lin Zhi! What did you say? This goddess was so frightened that she trembled!" Aqua broke the defense on the spot.

"So, you still admit that you were scared."

Lin Zhi put away his serious look and joked in a mean tone, "As expected of the great and sacred Lady Aqua, this courage to admit it is really unmatched."

"Ahhh! Bastard goddess, I am going to strangle you to death!!!!"

Aqua was so angry that she was incoherent. (End of chapter)
