Chapter 628: Pretending to Run Away
...
"Blackbeard Teach?"
"Yes! This is the name of our captain!"
Lafitte said proudly.
"I've never heard of it!"
Zhan Guo said disdainfully.
"To tell you the truth, a guy like this with no reputation can't intimidate other pirates at all! This is not the candidate we want!"
Lafitte then performed a dance of his own creation with his cane, which made everyone's eyebrows twitch.
"Mr. Sengoku, you are right. We have thought about this problem a long time ago, so we already have a complete plan to prove our strength. Please give us some time to let our captain prove that he is qualified to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"Fffffffff! That's interesting. I say, why don't we let them give it a try! Marshal Zhan Guo."
Doflamingo agreed.
"Hehehe~ Then everyone, please remember! Our pirate group is called the Blackbeard Pirates!!"
Lafitte had a proud look on his face as he completed the task easily. After he finished speaking, he pulled the brim of his hat to show off. Then he jumped off the windowsill, rotated 720 degrees in the air... and landed back on the windowsill!
?
"Ok?"
Lafitte himself was also stunned.
"Well, goodbye everyone!"
He adjusted his hat to hide his embarrassment, then jumped off the windowsill again!
"Jingle bell!"
"Da da!"
The hard-soled leather shoes made a crisp sound when stepped on.
Lafitte fell back onto the windowsill again!
"Haha, you want to run away after pretending? Don't you really like performing? Keep dancing!"
"this…?"
Only then did Lafitte finally realize that there was a fishhook hanging on the back of his clothes.
"Sir Enelu, what do you mean by this? Are you going to be an enemy of our Blackbeard Pirates?"
Looking at the man holding the fishing rod and playing with himself as if he were a fish, Lafitte said angrily.
"An enemy of yours?"
Enel put the apple core in his hand into his mouth and ate it, grinning to reveal two rows of white teeth.
"So what? Let your captain Blackbeard Teach be qualified to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and try it himself. What qualifications do you have to jump in front of us?"
"Uh, Lord Enel, I am only responsible for conveying Captain Teach's intention to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and I have no intention of offending you!"
Seeing that the other party was not prepared to reason, Lafitte immediately gave in with sweat on his forehead.
"Whoosh!"
Enel exerted force on the fishing rod, and Lafitte was pulled away by a huge force.
"Snapped!"
Enel stretched out his big hand and pinched Lafitte's face, and his palm turned into a sticky, green non-Newtonian fluid that sealed Lafitte's mouth and nose.
"No offense? But I think you are very offensive!"
"Mmmmm! Woohoo!"
The strong feeling of suffocation made Lafitte use his hands and feet to struggle frantically to get rid of the big hand that was stuck on his face.
"Swipe!"
Lafitte drew out his staff knife again and swung it forward wildly. The sharp blade cut a lot of gashes on Enel's body, but there was no bleeding. Instead, the gashes healed quickly like cutting water with a knife, leaving no scars at all.
"Did your complete plan take into account that you wouldn't be able to go back? Hahaha!"
Enel craned his neck and whispered in Lafitte's ear.
Stimulated, Lafitte struggled even harder, but no matter how hard he struggled it was all in vain.
Natural system?
In the conference hall, the sailors who saw such a strange scene were secretly guessing in their hearts.
Gion and Ahe also frowned. They didn't expect that this seemingly the most peaceful guy actually had such a violent personality.
"Hey! Enelu! Are you going to kill him here? We still need him to go back and tell him to let him go."
Sengoku opened his mouth in warning.
Enel remained unmoved, and soon, Lafitte stopped struggling, his limbs drooped weakly, and he was completely dead!
"boom!"
"What's the message?"
Enelu threw Lafitte, who was staring with his eyes wide open, to the ground and said to a marine next to him.
"4400 million Baileys! Remember to give it to me!"
"Ah! Yes!"
The sailor didn't dare to refute and could only agree.
"Fffffffff! This is crazy! But I like it! Why don't you cooperate with me! Enelu! Let's join forces! There will be no problem in gaining a foothold in the New World!"
Doflamingo laughed even more wantonly.
"Not interested in!"
Enel refused.
"Why did you kill him directly!"
Zhan Guo questioned with narrowed eyes.
"Hehe, if just anyone can become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, where will our dignity be?"
Enelu asked back.
"I think so too!"
"I also think it was a good kill! Especially the dance he created himself. How dare he show me such an eye-catching thing? I want to tear him into pieces!!"
Franky and Pedro also expressed their opinions.
"Forget it, let's move on to the next thing!"
Since all the people had been killed, the Warring States period had no choice but to give up.
The Chief of the Navy Staff Ahe frowned even deeper. The Seven Warlords of the Sea system that was devised by the Five Elder Stars to balance the forces of the sea did not foresee a situation in which these unruly pirates could live in harmony or even work together.
"Regarding the second matter, I hope you can stay calm. I don't want to see anyone taking action without authorization again!"
Zhan Guo gave the four people a shot of prevention in advance.
"Just tell me what you want to say. We are super calm now!"
Franky urged.
"come in!"
Zhan Guo shouted towards the door.
Then a four-meter-tall man with black curly hair and a ferocious-looking great white shark walked in.
"The former Shichibukai, Sea Knight Jinbei, has resigned from the post of Shichibukai. This is the person he recommended to succeed him, Hodie Jones! His strength has passed the test of our navy. If you have no other opinions, Hodie Jones will officially become a member of the Shichibukai!"
“Hehehe, please take good care of me, seniors!”
Hodie Jones greeted him with a cruel and bloodthirsty expression.
"Fffffffff, first the fishman Tiger stepped down and gave the position of Shichibukai to Jinbe, and now Jinbe has given the position to this guy. When did the position of Shichibukai become hereditary for the fishman clan?"
Doflamingo questioned with an unhappy look on his face.
"Haha, we mermaids have too many strong men. You should be thankful that we only take up one seat when it comes to being Shichibukai. Otherwise, someone like you who ranks at the bottom of the list might not even have a chance to become one of the Shichibukai!"
Hodie Jones responded tit for tat, not giving his predecessor any face at all.
Veins bulged on Doflamingo's forehead, and the thread in his hand could no longer be held back.
"Hey! Kid! Do you want to die?"
"Go ahead if you can!"
Zhan Guo listened to the two people arguing quietly. He was also very angry when he first received the news. He cursed that these fishmen were so arrogant and thought that the Seven Warlords of the Sea were nothing! Can they take this position whenever they want? If they don't want to take it anymore, can they give it to their own family members?
But what Jinbe said was a recommendation, and there was nothing wrong with it. The World Government put forward a requirement: 3 pirate heads with a bounty of over 5 million to prove strength, and Hodi Jones brought at once, buy three get two free, which left you speechless. Sengoku could only sigh that the fishmen are full of talented people.
"Fffffffff! I think what Enel said just now is very right! If anyone can become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, where will our dignity be?"
Doflamingo said angrily.
"Is this guy going to replace Jinbe as one of the Shichibukai? I have no objection."
Enel said calmly.
"I have no objection. Sea Knight Jinbei is a very honest person. Since he recommended someone, he must be reliable."
Pedro stroked the two whiskers that were like steel needles, which were unique to cats.
"I agree too! Welcome!"
"Boom!"
After Franky finished speaking, two cannon barrels appeared in his palms. With a loud bang, everyone present was startled. When they saw sequins and ribbons falling all over the room, they realized that this guy was setting off a salute.
"Damn it...you guys..."
Feeling isolated and backstabbed, Doflamingo's face turned as black as charcoal.
