Chapter 139
In a valley on the edge of the island, Zhang Lie was standing on the edge of a cliff, looking at the sea of clouds below, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Bruno was barbecuing not far away, and lying next to him was a huge goat, which was the prey Bruno had just hunted.
The two were strong enough and were not afraid of other animals coming, so they had a barbecue outdoors. It looked very good, but the tattered clothes of the two were a bit of a spoilsport.
When the mutton was almost roasted, Bruno came to Zhang Lie and said,"Captain, no matter what, filling your stomach is the most important thing."
Zhang Lie retracted his gaze, smiled, and comforted him in return:
"It's okay, don't worry, I was just thinking about something."
Bruno breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually a little afraid of Zhang Lie, because he was different from Ajin and even Martin. He had a background in the World Government, and he was always worried.
In addition, before they boarded the ship, the two strongest people were arranged to be undercover, and then three people were driven away, and finally only he and Kalifa were left.
Kalifa was a beauty and Zhang Lie's secretary, so she had natural advantages, but Bruno was arranged to be a chef.
As for the chef, this position is good to have, but it's okay without it. He has been worried that he will be driven away.
What's more, after more than a month on the ship, Zhang Lie gave him the impression of hard work. He values strength and is extremely murderous, which makes him very dangerous and scary. He had wiped out seven or eight pirate groups at sea before, and today he killed more than two hundred people at once. He had only seen this happen with Lucci.
So Zhang Lie said nothing when he got here. He was scared all over. He hurried to find a prey to cook and show his usefulness, so as not to be killed as a waste by accident.
Of course, this was Bruno's misunderstanding. If Akin or Martin were here, they would have already started drinking and toasting.
But Zhang Lie ignored him and walked to the barbecue grill by himself. He picked up a large piece of meat and started chewing it. The next second, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Bruno, you are really good at cooking. You made this goat have no fishy smell at all. That's great!"
"Captain, I'm glad you like it." Bruno breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself,"How can it not be good? In order to save my life, I have used up all my 18 barbecue skills."
Then he began to stammer, wanting to say something but hesitating. Zhang Lie saw that he was so uncomfortable eating like this, so he asked directly:
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't make it sound like you are constipated."
"Is it that obvious?"Bruno was stunned for a moment, but he felt relieved and asked,"Captain, what were you thinking about just now? It's scary."
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the situation just now."
Zhang Lie just wanted to ask Bruno for advice:"You know Observation Haki, right? That's the legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiki. I don't believe he doesn't know Observation Haki.
But you saw the situation just now, more than 200 people died before Shiki came out, and it was as if he didn't know anything about the situation, it's incredible."
Bruno didn't dare to draw a conclusion:"I don't know Observation Haki, I don't know the situation of this kind of Haki, and I haven't encountered an enemy who can use Observation Haki before, it's hard to be sure.
But Shiki really didn't know what was happening outside, and he suddenly canceled his ability at the last moment, which is also very strange."
Zhang Lie nodded in agreement:"It doesn't seem like it was a deliberate conspiracy. Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that we are not worthy yet."
"Indeed, it would be easy for him to kill us. If he wanted to recruit us, he would have to be a fool to use this method. Bruno couldn't understand why
"Brain-dead?" Zhang Lie suddenly realized something,"Shiki is indeed a brain-dead. His plan... let's not talk about that, but there is a rudder inserted in his brain. Could it be that this is why he lost his observation Haki?
Moreover, Armament Haki is the power of will. Although this guy still has ambitions, after staying at home for twenty years, I'm afraid his Armament Haki has also degenerated."
Bruno added:"Shiki finally gave up the attack because he might have discovered the actual situation. He still wanted to recruit the captain, but it was not easy to show it in public, after all, so many of his men died."
"That's right, this is the only explanation!"
In the palace, Shiqi was lying on a chair, covering his head:"It hurts, it hurts, damn Roger!"
Indigo was worried beside him:"Admiral, you still can't use your observation Haki?"
"Oh, my head hurts from using my brain too much, and now I feel like it's going to explode, not to mention my observation Haki."Shiki was helpless.
"Should we postpone our plan? Your strength is our biggest trump card." Indigo still has a high IQ.
But his boss disagreed:"No, it's been twenty years. I know my situation well. I have the ability of the Float-Float Fruit and I have the swordsmanship of a great swordsman. The plan will continue!"
"I understand." Indigo walked away on a fart.
Shiqi covered his head and fell silent, finally muttering to himself:
"It is impossible to recover, and waiting any longer will only make it weaker... At least the East China Sea must be destroyed to wipe out this stain on Roger."
Roger was executed in the Weakest Sea, and Shiki has always regarded this as a humiliation to Roger, and also a humiliation to him as a loser.
Zhang Lie has become much bolder since he figured out the matter of Observation Haki, not to mention that Shiki is very likely to want to recruit him. But for the sake of his life, he didn't dare to go to Shiki, who had always been timid. He kept hanging around outside, occasionally attacking those who were out on official business, and doing some embarrassing things.
Three days later, Zhang Lie found that Shiki ignored him completely, and his courage swelled again. He hesitated whether to go outside the palace.
At this moment, he suddenly saw something floating down from the sky. He didn't sense any danger there, so he reached out to take it.
Bruno came over and asked,"Captain, what is that?"
"A letter." Zhang Lie looked at the envelope and saw three words written on it,"Invitation letter."
Zhang Lie had some guesses in his mind, so he opened it decisively and took out the letter:
"Captain Zhang Lie of the Justice Pirates: You are very brave to kill so many of my men, but I appreciate people with strength. I will hold a meeting in the palace in a month. You can come and I will forgive you for your past mistakes - Shi Ji."
Zhang Lie handed the letter to Bruno:"Just as we speculated before, Shi Ji is still trying to recruit us, but how did he know our location?"
In the palace, Shi Ji was standing in front of the monitor, looking at Zhang Lie's thoughtful expression, and laughed out loud:
"Hahahaha, this kid is probably wondering how I know his location?"
"Although the Admiral has lost his observation ability, he still has a lot of surveillance bugs. Indigo interrupted from behind.
""See... Observation Haki." Shiki muttered, his expression downcast again, and glared at Indigo,"If you can't speak, shut up!"
After reorganizing his emotions, Shiki turned around and boarded the ship outside. Both sides were filled with people who were traveling this time:
"Let's go to the East China Sea and take a last look at what this weakest sea looks like. We may not be able to see it again in the future!"
