I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 108 Rona: I'd rather not be a general!
Call ~
A damp, cold sea breeze swept over me. The weather in the New World was unpredictable and changeable; one moment the sky was cloudless, and the next it could be pouring rain.

A light drizzle began to fall over the port of Akroppolis, but this little rain did nothing to stop the transport workers traveling between Akroppolis and Red Harbor beneath the Red Earth.

The port was filled with workers with bare arms and shirts, slaves with shackles around their necks, and richly dressed merchants carrying umbrellas.

"Is this the first time we've sat face-to-face and chatted like this?"

Wheels rolled along the bluestone-paved road, and the aroma of greasy grilled fish and fried potatoes wafted from the street. Munger smiled and looked at Rona as if she were a friend he had known for many years.

"After all, you're a pirate and I'm a marine. I'm curious, how dare you appear in front of me so openly?"

Despite saying that, Rona didn't refuse the drinks that Monger offered her at all. She leaned back in her chair, her gaze languid.

"Fine, now that you're strong and powerful, we can't take you down without being prepared. As long as you don't interfere with this World Conference, I'll turn a blind eye."

To be honest, Rona didn't expect that Monger would actually appear here.

It's important to know that during the World Conference, naval elites from all over the world gather on the Red Line to protect the kings attending the conference and prevent any accidents.

In this situation, a different admiral would see Munger appear.

People will definitely suspect that Monger has another conspiracy.

Even if Monger really has a conspiracy, we're not afraid. Right now, on both sides of the Red Line, the number of general-level combatants on the surface is almost in the double digits.

Perhaps if we directly arrest Monger, he will escape if he senses the situation is not good.

But Monge actually dared to go to Mary Geoise.

If we get blocked, there's no way we can escape!

"Haha, it's just because we don't have any conflicts now, isn't it?"

Monger smiled, acting as if they were old friends.

"Didn't you say before that if you didn't catch me last time, you would never catch me again?"

"Who said that?"

Rona's expression suddenly changed, and the long sword at her side was drawn. A diagonal line sliced ​​through the rain, cutting through the rain on the entire street. In less than a tenth of a second, the blade was at Monger's neck.

But Monger held his wine glass, his smile unchanged.

Seeing this, Rona let out a soft snort.

"Boring."

Rona didn't want to fight Monger here, and Monger knew Rona wouldn't fight him here either, so this battle was destined not to happen.

What Monger didn't know was that Rona's reason for not wanting to fight him wasn't because of any promise, nor because it was during the World Conference, and that battles at the admiral level could easily affect the kings of the member states.

I simply don't want to.

"Monger, how about I go to your side and be your deputy?"

What the hell!

As soon as Luo Na spoke, Meng Ge's hand trembled, and he almost uttered a phrase from the national quintessence.

"Haha, General Scarlet Serpent is quite the joker!"

What a joke! Rona isn't like Aokiji, who lost the fight for the position of Fleet Admiral. Why would she give up a perfectly good position as a Marine Admiral to become a pirate?

Even after he became a pirate, there are still a lot of conspiracy theories that Aokiji went undercover.

Is Lorna going to join his fleet?
As soon as Rona spoke, Munger's first thought was whether this was a Navy conspiracy.

It shouldn’t be!

"Could it be that Admiral Scarlet Serpent has encountered some unpleasant thing in the Navy? Tell me about it, maybe this old man can give you some advice."

Mungo was relieved that Rocks and his companions didn't act rashly when they encountered the enslaved giants, because if they had, their plan to go to Fishman Island would have been ruined.

The resin from the Yarchiman mangrove will take another two days to arrive. If the rescue operation is launched within two days, they certainly won't have enough time to coat the ships.

Rocks and his men are currently collecting lists of enslaved giants and the keys to unlock the giants' enslavement collars, hoping to rescue all the giants as soon as they take action.

Monger's job, naturally, was to hold off Rona, the Navy's strongest fighter.

"What, you don't like me?"

Rona rolled her eyes at Munger. Her blurry eyes made Munger wonder if she was drunk. As she leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed, Munger's Observation Haki seemed to hear the groaning of the buttons on her shirt.

Ha, a honey trap?
Monger inwardly scoffed; the navy was underestimating him.

Even if you're going to use a honey trap, find someone younger. Although Rona is pretty, she's already an older woman.

Monger had absolutely no intention of doing so.

I am also an old man, but I look much younger after my cell activity has improved.

However, it is almost impossible to completely return to youth.

So he still looks like an older man.

There's absolutely no reason to dislike Lorna. 'That bastard!'

Rona's Observation Haki is naturally inclined towards perceiving emotions. Although Munger still had a smiling expression on his face, his inner emotions had already betrayed him.

She's just a bit older, isn't she?

She only said she wanted to join the White Wolf Pirates, she didn't say she wanted to do anything with Munger. Munger doesn't think much of her, and she doesn't think much of that old geezer Munger either!

In her excitement, Rona's slightly tipsy mind cleared up considerably.

"Hey, you old geezer, if you want me to turn a blind eye to what you're going to do next, you'll have to give me something in return!"

Lorna slammed her hand on the table.

"Hand over your secret to regaining your youth. You should know how tempting what you've gained is for an old woman like me, right?"

The emphasis on the words "old woman" reveals the depth of Rona's resentment. Since Monger wouldn't show her any leniency, she felt no need to do the same for him.

But didn't you just say...?

"Just now, now is now!"

Lorna crossed her arms, crossed her legs, and looked confident of victory.

"If you're willing to share your things with me, I can give you the list of giants the navy captured in Elbaf last time. With this list, the giants will be even more grateful to you."

No, are you serious?
Monger looked at Rona, frowning, unsure whether Rona was telling the truth or trying to use these giant prisoners to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"Is this all the White King Meng Ge can be?"

Seeing Munger hesitate, Rona scoffed, "The list is in my hands. Do you dare take it?"

Without a doubt, this was a provocation from Lorna.

But now that things have come to this point, if Monger doesn't accept Rona's deal, where will he put his Conqueror's Haki?

"it is good!"

Monger grinned.

“One month from now, in the Sabaody Archipelago, I will give you a piece of pure gold.”

"Whether it's a conspiracy or a trap."

"Come on, everyone!"

Monger wasn't afraid of revealing that he possessed pure gold at all; in fact, it was only a matter of time before it was exposed once he obtained it.

Putting everything else aside, even now, a large number of people are speculating whether he obtained pure gold.

Since everyone says he has it.

Then he stopped hiding it.

Yes, I really do have pure gold. So, what are you planning to do next?
Is it directed at him?

Or should we seek refuge with him?
This is the temptation of immortality, enough to drive people mad!
"Pure gold, do you really have it?"

Even Rona was stunned when she heard Monger's reply.

She just said it casually.

In fact, regardless of whether Monger gives her the item to restore her youth, she will hand over the list of giants from Elbaf to Monger.

Slavery should never have existed!

Previously, as a naval admiral, she often turned a blind eye to things in order to gain the power to capture Monger.

But now, she's not going to put up with it anymore.

I don't like slave trading, so I've canceled it all!
disagree?
If you disagree, I'll cooperate with the White Wolf Pirates!
What kind of naval admiral is she? Being bossed around every day is something she's had enough of.

After Lorna had this idea and took action.

she found.

Her Conqueror's Haki, which hadn't improved in a long time, actually showed signs of improvement!?

A true overlord is one who does whatever he wants!
If you always give in to others' orders and do things against your own will.

Even if he truly possesses the potential to use Conqueror's Haki.

How could Conqueror's Haki possibly make one stronger?
"Haha, it seems even my own heart doesn't want me to waste any more time."

The improvement in her strength brought a happy smile to Rona's face.

"So, Monger, wanna do something big with me?"

"I'd rather not be a naval admiral!"
