Chapter 81 Newcomer to the chat group
Chapter 81 Newcomer to the chat group
On the other side, Borsalino returned to the office and punished his financial officer, the maid and the new female pirate with the stick of justice.
Facts have proven that in the face of overwhelming absolute "strength", even the three of them working together could only delay their defeat a little.
"Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu..."
Just as Borsalino was basking in the afterglow of satisfaction, the Den Den Mushi in the office started chirping at an inopportune moment.
"Tsk, what a hassle... Hello, this is Borsalino, what can I do for you?"
Borsalino curled his lips and answered the Den Den Mushi reluctantly.
"Haha, it's me, Master Borsalino."
Somewhat to the surprise of Borsalino, the other end of the Den Den Mushi turned out to be Big News Morgans, whose iconic voice is hard to forget once heard.
Although Big News Morgans and Borsalino are partners and Borsalino still holds 30% of the shares of World Economic News, the two rarely have direct contact.
Not to mention that the person Morgans dialed was the Den Den Mushi in Borsalino's office. Apart from the top brass of the Navy Headquarters, there were no more than two-digit people in the world who knew the number of this Den Den Mushi, and most of them were Borsalino's subordinates.
With Morgans' intelligence capabilities, it was not difficult to get Borsalino's office number, but the fact that he chose to call the Telephone Bug directly only showed that he was a little anxious.
"Morgans? You want something from me?"
Borsalino was stunned for a moment, but soon realized the big bird's intention.
"Ha ha ha, wherever there is big news, Morgans will always be there!"
Morgans smiled happily. The execution of Fire Fist Ace was definitely the biggest news in the past twenty years since the execution of Pirate King Roger.
The close coverage of the execution of Pirate King Roger in Rogue Town helped the World Economic News rise to prominence. This time, it plans to take advantage of the big news of the execution of Fire Fist Ace to become the dominant force in the news industry.
"……You knew already?"
Borsalino's eyebrows rose slightly. The execution of Fire Fist Ace was not enough for Morgans to be so excited, even if it involved the Whitebeard Pirates.
This big bird has always been a person who would not do anything without profit. When Borsalino sponsored it to establish the World Economic News, even though he was rich and powerful and had saved it several times, he was only rewarded with 30% of the shares.
"Ha ha ha, this is a trade secret, Master Borsalino!"
Morgans will never betray its informants. You have to know that it can get so many first-hand news because of these informants that are everywhere.
In a sense, even Borsalino could be considered Morgans' informant. After all, before this, Borsalino had provided him with a lot of clues to big news.
"Tsk, since you came to me, I think you have guessed it almost right... That's right, Ace the Fire Fist is Roger's posthumous child."
Borsalino spoke very straightforwardly. Anyway, there were less than two days left before Ace was executed. It didn't matter whether the secrets were leaked or not.
"I really love the Navy! It's a pity that the execution is not on the same day as Roger's..."
Morgans spoke tentatively. Although the fact that Ace was Roger's posthumous son was big news in itself, it would still take a lot of time to create the most perfect piece of news and maximize its influence.
"Don't dream. Unless you can ask the Five Elders to come to your aid, or donate tens of billions of berries of supplies to the navy, don't expect Marshal Zhan Guo to change his mind."
Borsalino rolled his eyes. This Morgans guy was really becoming more and more self-righteous. If he dared to mention changing the execution time in front of Marshal Zhan Guo, he would probably be beaten into two pieces by Marshal Zhan Guo in a matter of minutes.
You have to know that what Marshal Zhan Guo hates most is having external forces interfere with his decisions. It would be fine if the Five Elders spoke up themselves, but Morgans was courting death if he dared to speak up for such a small piece of big news.
"Ha ha ha, that's such a pity... There are so few people who understand the importance of news. This is obviously big news that can shock the world, but how much attention is wasted!"
Morgans felt very sorry. If the navy was willing to cooperate with it in hype, the execution of Fire Fist Ace could be hyped up to a level that was even better than the execution of Pirate King Roger.
Unfortunately, Morgans' connections are not as high as those of the Five Elder Stars, and it is even more impossible for him to donate tens of billions of berries of materials. Even if he sells it together with the newspaper, it is not worth that many berries.
"Stop talking nonsense. You didn't come to me just to complain, did you?"
Borsalino spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone. If it weren't for the fact that Morgans' intelligence network was indeed useful, given this guy's status, he wouldn't be qualified to talk to him for such a long time.
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being Master Borsalino... I want to do an exclusive interview with Fire Fist Ace, and I want you to take my reporter to meet Fire Fist."
Morgans said with a smile, and only after sensing Borsalino's impatience did it reveal its intentions.
At the same time, a news bird wearing a peaked cap and glasses landed on the balcony of Borsalino's office and pecked the glass of the French window with its long beak.
Obviously, this news bird is the reporter sent by Morgans. Compared with other newspapers that can only employ human reporters, there is a reason why Morgans' World Economic News can become the largest newspaper.
"Tsk, you are really well prepared..."
Borsalino was a little unhappy, because Morgans was sure that he would not refuse.
"Haha, I asked the little guy to bring you some small gifts..."
Morgans grinned, and the next moment, the news bird outside the floor-to-ceiling window took out a pink card from his backpack.
With Borsalino's experience, he could tell at a glance that this was the highest-level invitation ticket to Happy Street. In the highest-level black market in the underground world, the starting price was as high as 300 million berries, and it was often sold out.
Although it is not difficult for Borsalino to get it, it is still Morgans's intention.
"Well, I am very satisfied with your gift."
Borsalino coughed dryly, glanced secretly in the direction of the bedroom, and confirmed that little Nami and Hancock were not awake yet, then he opened the French window to let the Newsbird reporter in.
The news bird reporter looked larger than the average news bird, and was almost as tall as Borsalino's knees when standing on the floor. However, he could not speak, but carried a writing board with him, as if he was preparing for a written interview.
After collecting the invitation ticket, Borsalino asked the Newsbird reporter to stand on his arm and took the little guy directly to the prison in Marinford.
Shortly after publicly announcing the execution of Ace the Fire Fist, Marshal Sengoku transferred Ace the Fire Fist, who was imprisoned in Impel Down, to the prison in Marinford.
Although the scale of the prisoners held there cannot be compared with that of the Deep Sea Prison, the security of Marinford Prison is no less strict than that of the Deep Sea Prison.
Especially since the prison of Marinford is located in the basement of the Navy Headquarters, anyone who wants to break into the prison will alert the high-ranking naval officials in the headquarters.
Even if the Pirate Emperor was imprisoned in Marinford, it would be difficult for him to escape by his own strength.
However, these heavy guards were meaningless in front of Borsalino who took action personally. Relying solely on facial recognition and a small amount of identity recognition, he arrived at the cell of Fire Fist Ace in less than ten minutes.
"You haven't said enough, Grandpa. Didn't I tell you I won't regret it..."
Ace, who was only wearing a pair of tattered pants, with his hands locked with heavy seastone handcuffs and his legs firmly fixed to the boulder with seastone chains, yawned and spoke to the person who appeared outside the cell.
Compared to losing your freedom and being imprisoned, having to listen to Vice Admiral Garp's nagging every day is really unbearable.
"Be patient for a while. The execution will be in one day... Well, Ace is Vice Admiral Garp's godson, but you should let Morgans know this himself and not let it be publicized."
Borsalino "comforted" Ace, and then warned the Newsbird reporter.
In any case, Vice Admiral Garp is a naval hero who represents justice in the hearts of countless people. As a navy officer, Borsalino will not allow Morgans to discredit Garp in exchange for sales.
It doesn’t matter whether old man Garp is discredited or not, the key is that the brand of the naval hero cannot be damaged.
"quack."
The news bird reporter nodded, put down the writing board on his back, took out a small booklet for taking notes from his bag, then raised his head and looked at Borsalino with a slightly silly look, meaning that he was ready.
"Hey? Admiral Kizaru? What are you doing?"
Ace then noticed that the person who came to his cell was not his grandfather, but Admiral Kizaru and a large news bird.
"Before you are executed, someone wants to do an interview with you. Just think of it as someone wanting to chat with you."
Borsalino explained that he had not had much dealings with Ace. If he had just traveled through time, he might have thought about saving Ace to make up for his regrets.
But several decades have passed since he traveled through time. Not to mention Ace, even Luffy is just a "familiar" stranger in front of Borsalino.
In contrast, it is the naval justice that has been upheld for decades that is what Borsalino really cares about.
Even though he knew that Ace would be executed one day, Borsalino did not have any extra thoughts in his mind.
"What a hassle... It's rare that grandpa doesn't come to nag me, I want to have a good sleep..."
Ace curled his lips. He felt there was nothing to say, so he volunteered to hunt down Teach, but ended up being defeated by Teach.
It was obvious that before this, Teach was just a team member under him. For Ace, who was somewhat arrogant, such a blow was still quite painful.
"If you're willing to be interviewed, I can show you this newspaper with news about Straw Hat Boy Luffy."
Borsalino was prepared for the possibility that Ace would refuse the interview and pulled out a newspaper from his pocket.
Although the World Government chose to impose strong controls, the news that Straw Hat Boy Luffy attacked the Celestial Dragons still spread across the sea in a short period of time.
If nothing unexpected happens, it won’t be long before the bounty of Straw Hat Boy Luffy will skyrocket.
If we take into account Luffy's involvement in the Revolutionary Army's attack on Impel Down, his bounty could easily surpass Ace's 5 million berries in one fell swoop.
"Hey? Hey! News about Luffy?"
Ace showed a surprised expression, moved closer to the cell door, and tried to see the contents of the newspaper clearly.
"Would you like to be interviewed?"
"I don't want to, I want to see news about Luffy!"
"Then accept the interview!"
"I do not want!"
"No, no newspaper!"
"I want to read the newspaper!"
"Then accept the interview!"
"I do not want!"
……
After a round of meaningless conversation, Borsalino was completely confused by Ace. It was not known whether it was Roger's genes or he was led astray by Vice Admiral Garp, but this guy was as stubborn as Luffy.
"I can't do anything about it. He's here anyway. If I want him to accept an interview, I can only rely on you..."
Borsalino handed the newspaper to the Newsbird reporter speechlessly. He had done his best and was worthy of the Happy Street invitation ticket given by Morgans.
"Gah?"
The Newsbird reporter took the newspaper and stood there in a daze for a while. Then he directly spread out the newspaper and showed Ace the news about Luffy.
Borsalino suddenly realized something when he saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Could there really be someone who could be so stubborn?
"Hahaha! Luffy did a great job! Hmm, his bounty is almost catching up with mine...Haha, this kid actually beat up the Celestial Dragons! Well done! If I had known that when I passed by the Sabaody Archipelago, I would have beaten up those bastards!"
Ace eagerly read the news about Luffy, laughing out loud from time to time, totally unaware that he was currently in prison and was about to face execution.
After reading the entire news several times in one breath, Ace finally sat back on the ground with satisfaction.
He felt relieved knowing that Luffy was fine and doing well. Death was never something to be feared by Ace.
"Gah..."
The Newsbird reporter stupidly raised the board in his hand above his head, which read "Would you like to answer a few questions?". After Ace saw the words on the board clearly, the Newsbird reporter put the board down.
"Oh, go ahead and ask."
Ace answered very naturally. Borsalino couldn't help but cover his face when he heard this. It turned out that Ace didn't really refuse the interview, but he was so stubborn that he had to read all the news about Luffy before his brain could resume normal thinking.
A similar problem also occurs in Vice Admiral Garp. When Vice Admiral Garp wants to sleep, even the Lord cannot stop him from closing his eyes.
The Newsbird reporter quickly wrote the first question on the board, 'Do you know that your biological father is actually the Pirate King Roger? '.
"My dad is Whitebeard!"
Ace answered without hesitation, he would never admit that man was his father.
In Ace's mind, only Whitebeard is his father, he doesn't know Pirate King Roger or anyone like that!
The Newsbird reporter nodded and directly wrote the second question, "Do you think Whitebeard will come to save you on the day of your execution?"
“…I hope Daddy doesn’t come!”
Ace was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"You two can chat slowly. When you're done, the guards will take you out."
Borsalino was not very interested in Ace's interview, so he left the Newsbird reporter in the cell and went back to the office first.
The three girls were still asleep and hadn't woken up yet. Borsalino, who was extremely bored, opened the Dimension Chat Group casually to see if the other group members had come up with anything new.
[Ding, welcome Xiao Mei to join the Dimension Chat Group! ]
However, what Borsalino did not expect was that as soon as he opened the chat group, he saw the group notification of a new member.
It had only been a short time since Esdeath joined the chat group, but a new member had arrived. The dimensional chat group, which once only had two or three cats and kittens, finally welcomed its eleventh member.
[Xiao Lin: Welcome the newcomers! Throw flowers~]
[Grayhara Ai: There's a new guy so soon, @Stupid dog, the passerby who wanted to hug Luo Feng's thigh, come out and recognize me! ]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: That damned venomous woman... Xiao Mei? Ah, this, isn't this the Xiao Mei I was thinking of? Battle Through the Heavens? Wutan City? Yan League? Tianfu Alliance or Endless Fire Region? ]
In the world of Devouring the Stars, the expressions on passers-by's faces were a bit painful, wondering which time period the new Xiao Mei was in.
He also clings to the protagonist. He doesn't have to do anything. He just waits for his cousin to become the Douluo Emperor, and his strength directly soars to become the Douluo Saint. As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will also prosper.
Compare him to someone who always claims he wants to cling to Luo Feng, but he hasn't even met Luo Feng yet. If it weren't for the kindness of Mr. Kizaru who gave him an advance of a devil fruit, he would still be a loser.
It makes me burst into tears just thinking about it. The gap between people is even bigger than that between people and dogs!
Fortunately, Xiao Mei's following answer made the passers-by feel a little relieved. They were all weaklings who had not yet clung to the protagonist's thigh, so no one should look down on anyone else.
[Xiao Mei: Where is this place? Who are you? Wutan City... Are you from the Jialie family or the Oba family! ? ]
[A passerby who wants to curry favor with Luo Feng: Well, it’s a bit troublesome to explain. It would be better if it was Xiao Yan who came. Since they are all time travelers, there would be no need to explain…]
[Xiao Mei: Do you know my cousin...do you know Xiao Yan?]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Oh, sister, how old are you now? Oh, no, I should ask how old Xiao Yan is now? ]
[Grayhara Ai: As expected of a police dog, this guy can recognize every newcomer.]
[Fubuki: The new guy is finally more normal than the previous one. I wonder what kind of world he is in...]
[Borsalino: Well, there's a newcomer. Welcome.]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Hug big boss Kizaru! When will the big boss start the live broadcast? I can't wait to watch the war at the top! ]
[Xiao Mei: Who are you? The Xiao family of Wutan City will not allow you to bully us! ]
[A passerby who wants to curry favor with Luo Feng: Hey, natives are troublesome... You can think of us as a loose organization, and everyone in the organization comes from a different world...]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: We can communicate with each other through this thing called the Dimension Chat Group and provide help to each other. ]
[Xiao Mei: ...Can you make me stronger? I want better skills and fighting techniques, can I find them here?]
[Graybara Ai: It seems that the newcomer is quite smart. He realized it so quickly.] [Fubuki: Isn't he a battle maniac like Esdeath?]
[Kobayashi: Newcomer-san, if you want to become stronger, you can consult Passerby-san. He knows a lot of information! ]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: Huh? Isn't it easy to become stronger? All someone needs to do is find a place to eat and wait for death, and in twenty or thirty years he will be a Dou Sheng... Woo woo woo, this is so unfair! ]
【Xiao Mei: What nonsense are you talking about? 】
[Tony Stark: Hey, is there a new guy here? Want to become stronger? Stark Industries is at your service at any time. You can drive a new tank home for only 300 dimensional coins, and it comes with two base shells! ]
[Tony Stark: No matter how annoying the enemy is, one shot can make them disappear without a trace! ]
[Grayfield Ai: The annoying arms dealer...]
[Tony Stark: Hey, I'm the sponsor of the lab, don't be so harsh, I should be Mr. Tony Stark who helps friends, the best supplier of the Department of Defense! ]
[Blizzard: @Tony Stark, are there any more powerful weapons? Ordinary weapons are OK against wolf-level and tiger-level monsters, but they are hard to be effective against demon-level monsters.]
[Tony Stark: Of course! Do you mind sending me the general information of the monster? I can provide more powerful weapons. No matter what kind of enemy it is, as long as the equivalent is enough, it can be destroyed! ]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: Come on, ghost-level monsters can be killed by missiles or something, but dragon-level monsters are not that easy to deal with, not to mention that there are god-level monsters above dragon-level monsters! ]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: Apart from anything else, monsters like the King of Monsters Orochi and Boros might not even be able to be protected by hydrogen bombs. It’s better to let Kizaru go and crush everything for you! ]
[Esdeath: If there is a strong enough opponent, I don't mind making a trip on behalf of my master. ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Ah this... Queen Esdeath's master... Damn, I'm so envious! ]
[Borusalino: Hey, @Esdeath, be more low-key and call me something else. ]
[Esdeath: What? Lover? Lover?]
[Kobayashi: Well, it’s fine to call her by her name, but if she’s wearing a maid outfit, calling her master is also reasonable.]
[Grayhara Ai: How much does Kobayashi like maids...]
[Kobayashi: Maids are awesome! Whether it's a cat-ear maid, a bedroom maid, a bathing maid, a cafe maid, or a kitchen maid, I can accept it! ]
……
In the world of Fights Break Sphere, Xiao Mei looked at the constantly changing speeches in the mirror and bit her lower lip unconsciously.
As an ordinary person who was born and raised in the Douqi Continent, Xiao Mei has a strong desire to become stronger. However, the Xiao family is just an ordinary big family in Wutan City. If Xiao Mei wants to get a chance to become stronger, she can basically only rely on herself.
Finally, she had an opportunity that seemed to make her stronger. Although the people in the mirror claimed to be from other worlds, Xiao Mei was unwilling to give up and still wanted to give it a try.
"That person just now seemed to have mentioned cousin Xiao Yan?"
Xiao Mei played with her pink hair. Ever since Xiao Yan lost his reputation as a genius, she had taken the initiative to distance herself from him. Now thinking back, it seemed a bit unwise.
Not to mention that Xiao Yan's cousin's father is the clan leader, his two elder brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, are the backbone of the clan and are expected to become great fighting masters or even geniuses who can go further.
Looking at the incredible conversations in the mirror, Xiao Mei hesitated for a long time and finally made up her mind.
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Oh, I really want to see the grand scene of the war at the top with my own eyes, but it's too dangerous for a weak chicken like me to go to the battlefield...]
[Kobayashi: Well, Borsalino-san will be doing a live broadcast anyway, so it’s almost the same as going there in person~]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: There is still a big difference between watching the live broadcast and watching the game in person. 】
[Grayhara Ai: Are you so sure that a fight will break out then?]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng's thighs: That's for sure, Whitebeard can't just watch Ace being executed...]
[Xiao Mei: Is there anyone among you who is a time traveler? ]
[A passerby who wants to curry favor with Luo Feng: Huh? That’s me… Wait! How do you know about the time traveler? ]
[Xiao Mei: Uh... the king of heaven and the tiger of earth? ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: What the hell! The pagoda suppresses the river monster! My fellow villager! Are you a time traveler too? Wait, what were you pretending to be? ]
[Xiao Mei: I am not. I just said this on behalf of my cousin Xiao Yan. What does time traveler mean? ]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: Ah, this... you can ask your cousin Xiao Yan yourself. It's not convenient for me to answer.]
[Xiao Mei: Cousin Xiao Yan wants to know if there are other time travelers in the group besides you? ]
[Those who want to hug Luo Feng's thighs: No more, you can tell by the name, I am the only one in the group who changed my name. ]
[Kobayashi: Eh? So you can change your name? ]
[Grayhara Ai: ...So you didn't notice? ]
[Fubuki: The name is just a code name. Changing it won't make it more advanced.]
[Borusalino: Are you interested in joining the dimensional currency system in the group? You can get 100 dimensional coins every month. Of course, you can also exchange dimensional coins by selling specialties and services. ]
[Borusalino: With dimensional coins, you can exchange them for specialties from other worlds, or you can exchange them for gold from me, or for various supplies from Tony.]
[Grayhara Ai: If you have the ability, you can also choose to provide credit guarantees to issue dimensional coins like Borsalino and a certain arms dealer. ]
[Tony Stark: The arms trade is only one part of the business that Stark Industries is involved in. Moreover, Stark Industries donates a large amount of charity funds every year. Calling it an arms dealer is a bit impolite...]
[Grayhara Ai: How about changing it to a perverted lolita who is horny for elementary school students? ]
[Fubuki: Tsk, this is really disgusting...]
[Tony Stark: Oh no, your words have caused great harm to poor Mr. Stark, and this is wrong! ]
[Xiao Mei: Cousin Xiao Yan wants to ask, does anyone know why the fighting spirit keeps disappearing automatically? ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: I know! Um... let me confirm first, what level of fighting power is your cousin Xiao Yan at now? ]
[Xiao Mei: Cousin Xiao Yan’s fighting power is now at the fourth stage... but he was once the youngest fighter in the family within a hundred years!]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: The fourth stage, that’s about right. When Xiao Yan’s fighting power drops to the third stage, you’ll know why his fighting power keeps disappearing.]
[Xiao Mei: Will cousin Xiao Yan be able to recover in the future? Will his fighting power return to normal after it drops to the third level?]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng's thighs: Well, after falling to the third stage, Xiao Yan can change his fate against all odds, and he will be able to reach the pinnacle of his life with sparks and lightning and become the Flame Emperor.]
[Xiao Mei: Will cousin Xiao Yan become the emperor of the Jia Ma Empire in the future?!]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: He is not the emperor, but the Dou Emperor! That's right, the Dou Emperor who is the Dou King, Dou Emperor, Dou Zun, Dou Sheng, and Dou Emperor! ]
……
In the world of Fights Break Sphere, looking at what the person in the mirror said, Xiao Mei's voice suddenly became a little stuttering.
"Xiao... Cousin Xiao Yan, the person in the mirror... the person in the mirror said that you will become a Dou Emperor in the future!"
Xiao Mei stared at Xiao Yan with her watery eyes for a long time, and before she knew it, her cheeks had turned red.
Dou Di!
The strongest person that the Xiao family had produced over the past few hundred years was just a Dou Ling, and most of the time, the Xiao family was even supported by great Dou Masters.
The current clan leader, Xiao Zhan, is a five-star great fighter, and is one of the most powerful men in the entire Wutan City.
But now those people in the mirror said that cousin Xiao Yan would become Dou Di in the future. Xiao Mei, who had admired her genius cousin Xiao Yan since childhood and had only started to distance herself from him in recent years because Xiao Yan had lost his talent, almost instinctively chose to believe what passersby said.
"Doudi? Me?"
Xiao Yan's face was full of disbelief. Even when he was the Xiao family's number one genius, he had never thought that he could become the Dou Di that only existed in legends.
Unfortunately, in his eyes, there was nothing in the mirror.
However, Xiao Yan didn't think that Xiao Mei would lie to him. After all, in a sense, he had also watched Xiao Mei grow up.
"Yeah! That person said you'll become 'Feng Di' in the future!"
Xiao Mei's little face was full of admiration and longing. She had shown this expression many times in the past when facing the genius Xiao Yan.
However, in the past two years, as Xiao Yan's fighting spirit continued to disappear mysteriously, and even his fighting spirit vortex gradually degenerated, Xiao Mei began to drift away from him.
"I understand... The third stage of fighting power, right? According to the speed at which the fighting spirit disappeared before, it should be about time when we test it in a few days..."
The fire of hope rekindled in Xiao Yan's eyes. The Dou Emperor was too far away from him. He now only wanted to know who was the culprit that caused his Dou Qi to disappear continuously!
"Come on! Cousin Xiao Yan! You will definitely be able to cheer up again!"
Xiao Mei encouraged him earnestly. She couldn't wait to see the day when cousin Xiao Yan would shine again.
"I will!"
Xiao Yan nodded. Although he could feel Xiao Mei's estrangement from him in the past two years, this was the lowest point in his life. Even though he knew that Xiao Mei's purpose was not so pure, Xiao Yan was very grateful.
At least Xiao Mei did not choose to hide the existence of the chat group to get close to him, and also let Xiao Yan know that the disappearance of Dou Qi was not a permanent phenomenon, and that he could become the legendary Dou Emperor in the future!
[Kobayashi: Well, there are more and more new people joining the group...]
[Grayhara Ai: It’s not bad. There are only eleven people so far, and not everyone is online. There are several people who have been lurking for years.]
[Tony Stark: More people is a good thing. Every additional member means one more world specialty, and the circulation of Dimension Coin will become higher and higher! ]
[Grayhara Ai: That depends on what kind of world it is. For a world like mine that doesn't have any special features, it's meaningless even if more people come.]
[Orochimaru: Haha, Haibara, your research ability is your greatest feature. If you are willing, I have many research projects here...]
[Grayfield Ai: Stop! I am still an elementary school student. Using child labor is illegal! ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Are you stupid, you venomous girl? The ninja world of Orochimaru has not banned the use of child labor. Kakashi became a jonin at the age of five and a chunin at the age of six. It is not illegal for them to use child labor.]
[Grayfield Ai: What does it have to do with me? Child labor is prohibited in my world! ]
[Borusalino: @The passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thighs, I have something to do later. The passerby brother, remember to explain the dimensional currency system to the newcomer later, and by the way, ask her to list the exchange list of the specialties in the world. ]
[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Got it! Master Kizaru! Actually, I know almost all the specialties of Doupo World. There are indeed many good things, but I'm a newbie and I'm too weak now. I don't think I can come up with anything good.]
[Borsalino: It doesn't matter. Newcomers will gradually become stronger. ]
[Grayhara Ai: Some people become stronger by clinging to powerful people, and then turn around and look down on the newcomers for being too weak~]
[The passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: the poisonous tongue girl!!!]
[Grayhara Ai: Hehe.]
[Borusalino: Okay, okay, stop arguing. We are all members of the chat group, right? We should get along well.]
[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: Damn you poisonous-tongued girl, I'll let you go for the sake of Mr. Kizaru! ]
[Grayhara Ai: Hehe.]
……
When Borsalino was sitting on the sofa and watching his friends quarreling, he suddenly felt a breeze coming from behind and two arms as smooth as cream wrapped around his neck from behind.
"Lord Porusalino~"
When he felt two soft pressures on his back, the battle-hardened Borsalino instantly recognized the all-too-familiar data.
Hancock, wearing only a cloak of justice, pestered Borsalino, rubbing her face against Borsalino's cheek from time to time, her beautiful face full of contentment and intoxication.
"Stop messing around and get some rest. We still have to prepare to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates tomorrow."
Borsalino put his arm around Hancock's waist and lifted her up like a princess.
Although the Navy has not found the whereabouts of the Whitebeard Pirates so far, no one doubts that the Whitebeard Pirates will miss the execution of Fire Fist Ace.
Even with Borsalino's face, Hancock, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, will definitely be sent to the front line as cannon fodder.
Fortunately, with her current strength, as long as she doesn't seek death by challenging Whitebeard to a duel, Borsalino doesn't need to worry too much.
"Uh... Master?"
Seeing Borsalino carrying Hancock into the bedroom, Baby-5, who was half asleep, wanted to sit up, but found Nami's two big white legs pressing on her.
Nami, who was tortured badly by Borsalino, was sleeping very soundly. Even if gold coins fell to the ground, they might not wake her up.
"Go on to sleep."
Borsalino touched baby-5's head and felt that the touch was a bit like petting a big cat.
Baby-5 squinted her eyes and showed a comfortable expression. She was very happy to feel needed.
"Lord Borsalino, I want it too!"
Hancock was jealous and came over on her own initiative.
"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful not to wake up little Nami..."
Borsalino simply stroked Hancock's head with his other hand. If Baby-5 was like a big cat, then Hancock was a charming and beautiful snake.
Even the touch of that long black hair is almost perfect, which means Borsalino's will is strong enough. If it were someone else, they would probably get addicted to touching his head.
Off the coast of Marinford.
The flagship of the Revolutionary Army and three naval warships captured from Impel Down floated silently on the sea. Drago, wearing a black hooded cloak, stood on the bow, quietly gazing in the direction of Marinford and the East China Sea.
Although they have not been able to contact the Whitebeard Pirates until now, just as Marshal Sengoku believes that the Whitebeard Pirates will not be absent, Dragon has already thought of an excuse to join forces with Whitebeard.
In fact, it doesn’t matter even if Whitebeard refuses to join forces. As long as they have the same goal, there is no need to worry about the result of fighting each other.
"Dragu, aren't you going to rest?"
With a cigarette in his mouth, Belo Beti slid down a cable from the lookout post. As the last commander of the five armies to join the Revolutionary Army, in Belo Beti's eyes, Dragon was the best and most indispensable leader of the Revolutionary Army.
Even if all the members of the Revolutionary Army except Dragon were killed in battle, the loss would not be as serious as if the Revolutionary Army lost its leader Dragon.
Only senior members of the Revolutionary Army like Ivankov knew that Dragon once followed in the footsteps of a certain admiral.
It was not until the man stopped for some unknown reason that Dragon was forced to step forward and take up the banner of the revolutionary army.
“…I feel a little uneasy.”
Just when Bello Betty thought that Dorag would just answer her casually, Dorag, who was looking at Marinford, suddenly spoke.
"Hehe, so there are things that can make 'the world's most vicious criminal' feel uneasy?"
Bello Betty couldn't help laughing out loud, it was really funny that Dragon, who was bold enough to declare war on the World Government, would also feel uneasy.
"I am just an ordinary person after all... Besides, the stakes I'm betting on this time are too high. Someone once told me that the road to revolution is tortuous, and our road to success is a spiral upward. Any idea or practice that wants to achieve success overnight is doomed to fail..."
Dorag was lost in memories. He was completely different from who he was then. In that person's words, he was young and hot-tempered. He even almost had a falling out with that person because that person chose to stop.
