I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

"Recruit me?"

“Yes, you are a great partner, and I am well aware of your talents.”

"You shouldn't waste small places; the world is your stage."

Lafayette twirled her gun.

"To become my captain, you need to be qualified."

You won't be disappointed.

bang bang.

Lafayette fired immediately, aiming straight for Dick's throat and heart.

There were only two shots fired, but in reality, Lafayette fired six shots.

Because of the high speed, it gave people the illusion that two shots were fired.

“I see, it’s a natural system,” Lafayette said, realizing.

"So, what's your decision?"

"Please continue to instruct me, Captain," he said, a smile playing on his pale face.

He's a naturalist, qualified to be his captain.

“Haha, Lafayette, welcome to the team,” Dick laughed.

This further strengthened his team's capabilities.

As for Lafayette, she is also a navigator, and her role overlaps with Nami's, so it doesn't really matter.

No one stipulated that a faction could only have one navigator.

Bulu bulu.

The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rang.

It was Aokiji's phone call.

A glint of light flashed in Dick's eyes.

"It seems there's a result, Aokiji."

A moment of silence fell over the Den Den Mushi.

After a long while, Kuzan's voice finally came through.

"Ah, you're right, the world is indeed going to be destroyed."

After a long period of research, Vegapunk finally determined that the world would be destroyed.

Because of a war.

The underwater ruins, the impending major earthquake, and the contents of the book—all of these things prove this point.

But Dick's advance inducement.

Since the eventual destruction of the world is real.

Therefore, it is highly possible that the Celestial Dragons ultimately planned to flood the world and then recreate it in the name of God.

Although there is no direct evidence to prove this at present.

"So, I'd like to ask for your opinion." Aokiji's eyes were confused.

view?

What else could it be?

They must have wiped out the Celestial Dragons.

Aokiji's question could only be about the method.

After all, although Aokiji is strong and has a high status, he is ultimately just a Marine Admiral.

There's nothing we can do to change anything.

The Celestial Dragons are too powerful.

The Five Elders, the Knights of God, the CP Agency, and the Great Prison.

Not to mention, within the Navy, there are countless supporters of the Celestial Dragons.

At least, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was completely loyal to the Celestial Dragons.

Under immense pressure, Aokiji was on the verge of despair.

“So, you should become a Fleet Admiral first,” Dick said bluntly.

"Only when you become a Fleet Admiral will you have a little bit of autonomy."

"Also, we need to win over like-minded naval personnel."

"At least, Garp and Zeff will definitely take the same stance as you after they know the truth. I don't know about the others."

Smoker and the like are too weak. It makes no difference whether he's there or not.

Mr. Garp, or Mr. Zeff?

Aokiji pondered silently.

They are indeed a good match.

"Furthermore, becoming the Fleet Admiral of the Shanghai Navy does not mean you can rebel against the Celestial Dragons. You still need to wait for the right opportunity and be patient with the right timing."

Aokiji remained silent for a long time.

He slowly uttered the words.

"That's right."

Actually, Dick didn't expect the navy to directly rebel against them.

That's unrealistic.

After all, even though Garp knew that the Celestial Dragons were massacring a country, he didn't rebel.

Sengoku, and even Green Bull and others in the future, do whatever the Celestial Dragons say.

Akainu knew the world would eventually be destroyed, but he didn't rebel.

However, as long as the Navy can remain neutral when dealing with the Celestial Dragons, or rather, keep the pro-World Government forces within the Navy occupied and prevent them from having time to attend to other matters, that will be enough.

This has already significantly reduced the World Government's combat capabilities.

If not, the navy should at least be split up.

With Zephyr alone capable of creating the NEO Navy, and with Garp and Aokiji added in, they could certainly rival the old Navy.

"By the way, now that Dr. Vegapunk knows the world is doomed, what has he decided to do?" Dick asked.

"Him? What we can be sure of is that he is still studying the books about Ohara, trying to figure out exactly what happened back then. The other thing we can be sure of is that Dr. Vegapunk has no intention of researching any military technology."

Aokiji also had a headache when it came to this.

Isn't this blatantly letting the world government know there's a problem?

"Therefore, Dr. Vegapunk, we need to evacuate."

"Give me Vegapunk's contact information. Also, the defense map of Punk Hazard, and Vegapunk's security measures."

Aokiji fell silent.

This all harms the interests of the navy.

But think about the world ending.

Qingzhi sighed.

It doesn't matter at this point.

"it is good."

When the topic of evacuation came up, Vegapunk felt a pang of reluctance.

After all, only with the World Government could he have relatively sufficient research and development funds.

There are also various rare experimental devices, which are unique to the World Government.

Furthermore, Vegapunk can obtain many valuable materials and information that are unavailable to the outside world.

Except for the blank 100 years.

Vegapunk could have anything he wanted.

But considering the consequences of being discovered, Vegapunk had no choice but to agree to evacuate.

"Wait for my message. Be careful and don't let anyone else find out that something is wrong."

Dick hung up the phone.

Punk Hazard.

Hmph, he'd like to see what kind of den of dragons and tigers lies inside.
