Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 46 Winning over Ron
The captain of the palace guards, the commander of the guards who protect the palace and the queen, what kind of position is that? !

Uh...if we really talk about status, he's not even as good as a third-class noble.

But the person who can hold this position is definitely the person the king trusts the most!

Your status may be higher than his, but you cannot be higher than the king...then he is truly second to none!
The reason why Fred designed an ambush to kill Jed was not only because he was the strongest fighter around the Queen and was loyal to her without any second thoughts, but also because he served as the captain of the palace guards.

As long as Jed exists, his plan to force the emperor to abdicate will never come true!
Of course, he could also march his army into the palace and force a change of dynasty by violence, but Fred was too noble to be like those pirates and reckless men, using bloody terror to eliminate dissidents.

After getting rid of Jed, the first thing he did was to replace the guards and place his own confidants in the palace for this reason.

Fred thought that with the birthday party approaching, there would be no changes in the position of Chief Guard of the Palace, but he did not expect that the Navy would actually give Ron to Rosa!
It’s really a “gift”!
It has always been the case that people from member states quit the member states and join the navy, and people without a navy quit the navy and join the member states!

This is an irreversible job reversal!
Anyone who quits the navy and joins other forces will never be trusted by the navy again!

As the user of the Thunder Fruit, Ron is known as the strongest natural type and has a bright future! Fred never thought that the navy would push Ron to the position of chief of the palace guards. In this way, Ron will never be able to return to the navy!
At first he thought the navy was shameless and refused to acknowledge Ron as a navy officer. Now he realized that this was not shamelessness at all, but sheer recklessness!

……

When Fred came to his senses, he found that the garden was empty. Ron had transformed from a janitor to the chief of the palace guards. Rosa had given him the right to execute first and report later. If someone found an excuse to throw him out like Andrew and humiliate him, what could they do?
Are we really going to war with Huadu? !
What kind of international joke are you kidding!

It was certain that they would continue to support Fred, after all, it was a promise made. But before the day when the Queen announced her abdication, these nobles did not want to provoke Ron, who was obviously not an ordinary person.

They were using Fred's name to act arrogantly and express their stance, while the Queen was directing Ron to act tough and threaten people's lives!
The strength and prosperity of Flower City made them have a lofty status in the Grand Line. It also made Ron, a mere captain of the palace guards, have higher status and position than most of the nobles present!

Cap and Trion also left. Ron was now the captain of the palace guards, so there was no reason for him to go back to the naval base with them. Although the two were equally confused, they were not worried about Ron joining the Flower City camp.

After all, apart from them... not many people know that Ron is a "temporary worker".

Ron, who is not even a formal navy officer, became the captain of the guards in Huadu. What's wrong with that?

There's nothing wrong, buddy!

Now the only people left in the garden were him and Ron.

Glancing around, Ron was sitting on a chair, leisurely stuffing snacks into his mouth. Noticing Fred looking over, Ron smiled and said, "General Fred is thinking so deeply, is he thinking about how to kill me?"

Taking a deep breath, Fred's expression became serious and murderous intent filled his eyes.

"What if I say yes?"

"Well...it will be troublesome..."

Fred thought Ron was saying that he would be in trouble, and sneered disdainfully. But Ron's next words made the corners of his mouth twitch, and he didn't know how to respond.

Because Ron said, "As a user of special abilities, you naturally have your own weaknesses. However, lightning can use high temperatures to destroy anything that is not beneficial to it, such as insulating rubber that restrains lightning. If it cannot be destroyed, you can also dodge it with speed, such as the natural enemy of special abilities, seastone... So if you want to kill me, in addition to having an absolute advantage in hard power and escaping faster than me, you must also learn Armament Haki... Oh, by the way, does General Fred know Armament Haki?"

In the first half of the Grand Line, there are basically no Haki users, and many people regard it as a legend. For example, in the East China Sea, the Devil Fruit ability user is also a legend. But to ask Fred if he knows Haki is a bit of an underestimation of the world's heroes.

Fred moved his lips a few times: "I know!"

"Then...will it?"

Fred: "..."

Taking a few deep breaths, Fred suppressed the urge to beat someone up, and suddenly smiled: "You are very good, Captain Ron."

"You are also a genius, at least when it comes to rebellion..."

Fred: "... Stop talking nonsense... Captain Ron, you can't go back to the navy now, do you want to come and help me?"

"Ok?"

Ron groaned in doubt and looked up at Fred: "If I heard correctly, you want to win me over?"

"That's right!" After saying this, Fred felt much more relaxed. "You and Huadu are already tied to the same warship. Even if the rebellion fails this time, the problem of my aunt having no offspring will not be solved. I will still be the future king, and you will still serve under me."

"In that case, why don't you cooperate with me? The Navy's goal is just to protect Aunt Rosa, right? Who is the ruler of Flower City is not important to you at all, right?"

Seeing Fred's confident and handsome face, Ron fell silent.

Speaking of the Queen's childlessness, Ron was also very depressed. He had already imagined a hundred thousand... melodramatic plots between the old bastard and Queen Rosa, but Queen Rosa did have no children, and her only relative was her nephew who was rebelling against him.

In this semi-feudal world of One Piece, succession to the throne through royal bloodline is an unshakable foundation!

As for the navy's true purpose, Ron was unsure, but he didn't care.

Whether the Queen's life or the harmony of Flower City is more important is up to the old bastard. He only needs to follow orders.

but……

This is also an opportunity!

Ron dropped the snack he had just taken a bite of, picked up the teapot and filled it with water, then wiped off the water stains, with a faint smile on his face: "You want to win me over... but you'll have to pay a price!"

"How about the information about Baroque Works?"

Fred also had a smile on his handsome face, and he and Ron stared at each other without giving in.

After a moment, Ron retracted his gaze and continued eating his cake: "General Fred is such a cruel method! I guess you have completely wiped out all traces of your contact with them? The rest of the people who knew about it should have been killed as well..."

Fred smiled at this.

"I'm not going to sit there and wait for four whole months."

"If you can support me in taking the throne, I will hand over the intelligence of Baroque Works to you! It is up to you, Mr. Ron, whether to give this credit to the navy or keep it for yourself! In addition, once I inherit the throne, Ron's position as the captain of the guard will be unbreakable. Even the position of a general is not impossible."

In order to win over Ron, Fred was determined to get the information about Huadu's general and Baroque Works.

The reason was the same as what he thought. From the navy to the chief of the palace guard, Ron was already tied to the Flower Capital, and there was no possibility of him going back. In addition, as the user of the Thunder Fruit, Ron was also a powerful force worth winning over!
As for whether Ron would rebel against him in the future... it would be much more difficult for someone who is not of royal blood to go on stage!

"It's really... a big deal!"

Ron was surprised for a second, then smiled and exclaimed.

"Mr. Ron deserves this gift!"

Fred raised the corner of his mouth, without changing his expression.

Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, like two cunning foxes.

I have to say that this Fred is quite to Ron's liking. He has brains, strength, scheming, and determination. Cooperating with such a tyrant, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages!
but……

"not enough!"

Ron's face suddenly darkened, and he whispered, "I have a question that has never been answered, so I hope General Fred can tell me the truth."

"Are you asking... why the Five Elders have already acquiesced to the Navy's interference in Flower City's internal affairs, but still want to push you to the forefront?"

Even though his height had increased dramatically due to learning the Six Styles, standing in front of Ron, Fred was still stronger and more muscular than Ron, wearing a black heavy armor. Especially the strange light flashing in his eyes made Ron's heart sink.

But he still nodded and said fearlessly: "That's right!"

Although there was no Tiankeng as an option for this mission, since even the Five Elders had acquiesced, why was Garp still hesitant? In the Navy camp, the attitude of the Five Elders was everything! Garp could have just rushed into the palace and killed Fred, there was no need to go through so much trouble to ask him to take action. As long as Fred died...

Alliance of Member Nations?
That's a joke!
So Ron must find out the reason!
