Charlotte was a little cautious, especially with Yepi's nonchalant look. He was really worried that the other party might have some tricks up his sleeve.
After all, there are magical devil fruits everywhere in the world of pirates, so it is not difficult to do this.
"What kind of cooperation is worth your efforts?"
In response to Charlotte's question, Yepi said calmly, "We need control of Lati Island and the loyalty of you and your men."
Uh? How do you say that?
Charlotte was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to have such a big appetite.
But soon Charlotte laughed, "I am a pirate, aren't you afraid that I won't keep my promise?"
Yepi said calmly, "Captain Charlotte, don't worry. Since you have made this request, we will naturally have a way to control it."
Charlotte was a little surprised when she heard what the other party said.
It seems that it is most likely the ability of a very special devil fruit or some unknown means!
"How is it? What does Captain Charlotte think?"
How? What the hell? Sure enough, the bald guy has nothing good to say. He is a dirty-hearted bastard.
However, Charlotte was not in a hurry and spoke slowly.
"Cooperation must also look like cooperation. I must make sure my people are safe, otherwise there is no point in discussing it."
Yepi thought Charlotte's request was natural.
Although he couldn't figure out Charlotte's specific strength, based on the intelligence, he was certain that he was a young swordsman.
"What? Are you scared? Is that all the courage you have?"
Although Charlotte's words were plain, they made Yepi look a little embarrassed.
However, Jaeger still did not speak but looked at Charlotte. He was really undecided.
The swordsman carries a lot of weight.
Seeing this, Charlotte was not in a hurry. She just waited quietly, anxiously expecting something in her heart.
At the same time, Beta Barrett continued to search the surrounding seas with Moon Steps.
They had already discussed the countermeasures before coming. Charlotte held the other party back and the two of them searched secretly.
From the letters the other party sent him, he initially judged that Ivan would not be taken away far and that he would not have enough time.
In the conversation just now, the other party was confident that he could control him. He believed that in order to avoid any further complications, the other party would be able to control Lati Island for a short period of time.
Ivan, who was used as a bargaining chip, would not be too far away, which strengthened his judgment.
Soon the two met, "How about it Barrett."
Barrett shook his head. "No, nothing was found."
Beta was in the same boat, and for a moment they were both in a dilemma.
"Boss, maybe we made a wrong judgment." Barrett looked at Beta and said.
"No, I believe in the boss." Beta looked determined. He would never question Charlotte's judgment and decision.
A gust of sea breeze blew by, ruffling their cloaks and disrupting their thoughts.
"wind!"
Beta looked up at the sky suddenly, and his eyes lit up.
"We didn't find it in the air!"
Barrett's eyes also glowed.
Thank you for your support, remember to eat dumplings during the winter solstice
Chapter 38 Boss, Be Rigorous
Yepi's face was calm, as if he had made up his mind, and he was about to speak.
Suddenly, something strange happened.
A black shadow in the sky was falling straight down at a very high speed as if it was weightless.
With a loud "bang", the black shadow fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Looking closely, it was a bird of prey with black feathers all over its body, like a giant version of a crow.
Yepi's face changed drastically, "How could it be?"
Looking at the other party's performance, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that things should be stable.
It was a bit unexpected that the body of the raptor that landed was so strong that it was ridiculous. Except for the feathers on the ground, the body of the raptor was intact.
Amazing.
"Boss, Ivan has been found."
Beta's loud voice was extremely loud, coming from far away and rumbling like thunder.
But at this moment it sounded so beautiful in Charlotte's ears. It was the first time she felt that Beta's voice had such a pleasant side.
Weird.
The voice came, and a moment later the figures of Beta and the other two grew from small to large and appeared in front of him.
At first glance, Beta was carrying Ivan on his shoulder and Barrett was holding a strange figure that looked like a dead dog in his hand.
"Ivan, are you okay?"
Ivan left Beta's shoulder and landed steadily. He said with red eyes, "I'm sorry, Boss. I've caused you trouble."
At this moment, he felt extremely guilty and blamed himself for being weak.
Charlotte patted Ivan's shoulder gently to calm him down.
"We are family, Ivan. As long as I'm fine, I'm glad."
"Old...boss!"
The sentimental Ivan suddenly felt his nose sore and tears rolled in his eyes.
When Charlotte saw Ivan's expression, she couldn't hold it anymore and spoke quickly.
"Okay, gentlemen, stay strong."
Listening to Charlotte's words, Ivan nodded heavily, biting his lips and trying hard to hold back the urge to cry.
That looks a little funny.
"Boss, these guys are so cunning that they can actually control the birds to float in the sky."
Charlotte was also very surprised. There was actually such a cool operation. It really should not be underestimated.
He subconsciously ignored the air.
It really opens up new ways of thinking in the world!
"Boss, you don't know. Fortunately, I had an idea and thought that the enemy might be hiding in the air, so I rescued Ivan."
Faced with the complacent Betacharlotte did not dampen his interest and could not help but give him a thumbs up.
However, Barrett was merciless and said arrogantly, "If it weren't for the boss's wise judgment, you would have thought of it."
Facing Barrett's teasing, Beta touched the back of his head and smiled, "That's right, the boss is first, and I'm second."
Ivan, who had recovered, said, "Boss, I checked the Wang Zhi Pirates and there is no information about Yepi. He is not a member of the Wang Zhi Pirates."
Charlotte was very surprised. He didn't expect that this guy was an Infernal Affairs operative and used a trick of transplanting flowers and trees to him.
He was very melancholy. As expected, he could never have peace after becoming a pirate.
Look, he hasn't done anything yet, but he's being targeted by some unknown force.
As for Yepi, he was already cold all over. He wanted to run but he always felt that there was a pair of invisible eyes locking on him.
If you run you will surely die.
Charlotte's eyes were completely fixed on Yeppie.
"Yeppi, I'm sorry, I'm afraid our cooperation is no longer possible!"
However, facing Charlotte's calm tone, he felt creepy, as if he had fallen into the underworld.
It was like facing a terrifying giant beast, emitting pure and terrifying murderous intent.
Just as Yepi was about to beg for mercy, a pair of hands grabbed his neck in the blink of an eye.
Charlotte didn't want to waste any more time talking to this kind of villain, so he used his mind reading skills to check.
He wanted to see which powerful force was targeting him.
In an instant, Charlotte obtained Yepi's memory and killed him directly.
"Knights Guild?"
Charlotte murmured softly. This was the first time she had heard of this organization.
And it also has some connection with the famous Knights of God.
But there is a world of difference.
This is a force formed by a group of nobles who worship the Knights of God, in order to demonstrate their own extraordinary style.
However, because they were afraid of the word "God", they were named after knights.
Such an intention is disgusting.
Such existence is despicable.
What a shitty Knights Guild. They are just a bunch of corrupt nobles hiding in the dark, with twisted personalities and dreaming big dreams.
Despite this, the financial resources behind it are indeed strong and very intimidating.
It is difficult to judge how powerful the force hidden in the darkness is.
The fact that they dared to secretly attack him, who was openly a member of the Flying Pirates, was enough to show how rampant they were.
Trouble! Big trouble!
