Chapter 123
After hearing what Vegapunk said, Zhang Lie was sure that his life was safe. He suddenly felt as if time had gone back, and the wounds all over his body took over the high ground again. He lay down again with a groan.
Stussy turned his eyes back to the Den Den Mushi:"I know what to do, hang up sir."
After Vegapunk hung up the phone, he explained to Admiral Kizaru beside him:
"That guy was a friend of mine who also did research, but I haven't had much contact with him since I started working with the World Government."
"You don't need to explain. I am only responsible for protecting your safety. I am not interested in other messy personal relationships. After all, everyone has a few friends."
Kizaru is always lazy. He holds the attitude of punching in for work and not getting involved in more trouble. He has maxed out his ability points for human relations and does not want to care about Vegapunk's affairs at all.
As for whether there are other reasons behind it, only he knows.
Stussy returned the two Den Den Mushi to Kaku, and winked, signaling them to leave.
However, none of them left, but turned to look at the captain.
Although Zhang Lie was lying on the ground groaning, he was actually pretending to be pitiful and had been observing Stussy in secret.
He has been in this world for so long and has fought dozens of battles, big and small. He has long been accustomed to pain and did not act so exaggeratedly.
Noticing the performance of several people, he just raised his hand and waved, asking them to retreat first.
Stussy was not dissatisfied with these, but was very envious.
Seeing them leave, she also retracted the demon wings behind her, and the fangs in her mouth disappeared, but the back of her dress was broken, revealing a large area of jade-like skin.
But she didn't care about the sudden exposure of her spring light at all:"You have several good men."
Zhang Lie quietly raised his head, admiring the beautiful scenery facing away from him, and casually responded:
"Ah, yes, they are very good, otherwise I would not have them as my partners"
"You've seen enough, Mr. Zhang Lie." Stussy turned around and faced Zhang Lie.
Zhang Lie immediately lay down again:"I forgot that you have the ability to see, but it's just a few glances, and you won't lose a few pieces of meat."
Stussy looked around and found that the surroundings had been completely destroyed. There was no place for her to sit down elegantly, so she didn't care and said directly:
"Mr. Vegapunk did not agree to the alliance just now, but I have a different opinion from him."Stussy looked down at Zhang Lie with interest.
"Although you are still very weak, you are already very strong for the Grand Line. I actually took you seriously. With your strength, you can stand firm in the New World.
I recognize your potential, and the cooperation between Vegapunk and the World Government should be fine in the next two years. You still have time to grow, so I agree to the alliance."
"Hehe, choosing to form an alliance is the wisest decision you have ever made. You will definitely realize it in a few years."Zhang Lie also sat up and stopped pretending.
"You are very confident."
"Of course, as long as I don't die, I will definitely be the strongest in the world in the future!" Zhang Lie's words were full of confidence.
Stussy didn't flatter him, but talked about another thing:"Since we have formed an alliance, and we have formed an alliance under disadvantageous circumstances, then we must pay a price."
"What do you want to do?"Zhang Lie had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Stussy's next words made Zhang Lie hesitate.
"I want to make other arrangements for the former CP9 members." Stussy said word by word:"Let them re-enter the World Government and become undercover agents in CP0." After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Lie finally made no decision:"This requires them to choose for themselves. Besides, you are very brave, aren't you afraid that they will stab you in the back?"
"Trust people when you employ them, but don't employ people you don't trust. This is not the behavior of a strong person."Stussy taught Zhang Lie a lesson.
"And I recorded everything you said about the Celestial Dragons with a recording Den Den Mushi."
Stussy took out a special Den Den Mushi from the bag on his waist and waved it in front of Zhang Lie.
Zhang Lie had never heard of it, let alone recognized the recording Den Den Mushi, but it was better to believe it than not, what if it was true? The problem was that he was also recorded. No wonder Stussy agreed to the alliance so easily, but he had no choice. He couldn't beat him or rob him, so he could only accept his fate.
"All right, you win." Zhang Lie lowered his head,"But don't tell them, let them choose for themselves, I don't want my people to make choices under threat."
Soon, all the former CP9 members arrived, even Lucci, who was the most seriously injured, was there, and they all looked at Stussy with vigilant eyes.
Considering the health of several people, Zhang Lie hurriedly introduced:
"This is Stussy, the current CP0 senior executive, but she has other identities, which I won't mention. Anyway, we are now an alliance partner.
Now she has made a request, and I don't think I can make a decision for you, so I'll let you choose for yourself."
Zhang Lie repeated Stussy's request, and they looked at each other for a few times, and finally looked at Zhang Lie, and finally Lu Qi spoke:
"Captain, since we are already on board, we will naturally follow your arrangements. If you really can't make a decision, let me and Kaku go."
Zhang Lie thought about it and felt that it was okay. After all, if the strongest didn't go, it would be meaningless. Only they could enter the upper echelons.
Stussy next to him was also very satisfied. After all, she only liked three people here, and it was a big loss to give two people.
"OK, it's happily decided. After they leave separately, I will arrange for them to re-enter CP."
After Stussy finished speaking, he gave his private contact information and said:
"I will take care of the matter of the Spring Queen City to prevent it from being discovered by those with ulterior motives. We will separate first, and you should not stay any longer. Lu Qi and Kaku will go to Happy Street later, and someone will take you to find me."
After the matter was settled, she exerted force on her feet, flew into the sky, and left with moon steps.
Although Zhang Lie knew that Stussy dared to say those words because he was sure that there was no one else around, he still looked around with concern, and then said to Lu Qi and Kaku:
"I'm sorry, I can't protect you, but no matter where you are, you are all my people. I only have one request, show mercy to innocent people, and send those who deserve to die to hell."
Zhang Lie closed his eyes and opened them after a moment,"Judge whether the other party deserves to die based on your heart, as for the legality and the sin of murder, I will bear it, because I am the captain."
