Navigation: Healing Warlock, top-tier healer for Whitebeard

It seems like... his Conqueror's Haki has suddenly grown stronger?

Oh? You can do that?

……

Tyrant Bear's forehead was covered in sweat.

Rayleigh was also sweating.

'I also possess Conqueror's Haki, so why did I feel a slight fear towards him for a fleeting moment just now?'

Rayleigh was utterly shocked.

'This kid is too domineering!'

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Offering My Heart! (Seeking Flowers and Monthly Tickets)

"No, you won't kill Bonnie!"

Tyrant Bear's face was stiff as he spoke with certainty.

He possesses an iron will!

Even if Mount Tai collapses before you, you will remain calm and composed!

Loya's eyes flickered.

"you're right!"

"I won't kill Bonnie, even if you don't agree!"

Loya turned his gaze toward the video Den Den Mushi.

A crocodile tear squeezed from his eye as he looked "affectionately" at the pink-haired woman whose hands and feet were bound by ropes.

"Wife, did you hear that? Your father-in-law won't agree!"

With that, he waved his hand and said, "You guys, cut off one of my wife's hands first!"

Loya's words are absolute commands.

The two men beside the pink-haired woman, who had already prepared knives, immediately began to carry out the operation with cold expressions!

“Dr. Loya…”

The tyrant bear had just opened his mouth when

He was abruptly interrupted by Loya, who turned around, raised his hand, and angrily pointed at Tyrant Bear: "You made the choice! Is it my fault?!"

"But don't worry, I can regenerate severed limbs, my wife won't die!"

"It's just a little hardship, but it was your choice!"

Tyrant Bear clenched his fist.

"You're too impatient!"

"I have so much more to say..."

"You have to promise me first!" Loya interrupted rudely. "I know you have a lot of questions and a lot to say."

"But you can promise me first, and then we can talk about it slowly!"

"When did I say that once you agreed to something, you couldn't go back on your word?"

"Didn't I tell you that you can watch what I do from now on!"

"Isn't the subtext that if you're not satisfied, you can back out at any time?"

The tyrant bear was speechless.

Rayleigh felt his brain spinning again.

'There are actually people who actively ask others to back out?'

'Loya's thoughts are truly unfathomable!'

Loya continued:

"I'm not a god! Although I'm confident I can realize my vision!"

"But what if something unexpected happens?"

"Therefore, I won't ask you to, and you absolutely cannot go back on your word!"

As Loya finished speaking, he looked at the other end of the screen.

"What are you standing there for? Chop!"

Upon hearing this, the two henchmen immediately raised their knives.

The pink-haired woman, with the seal on, burst into tears, her tear-streaked face truly heartbreaking.

"I promise!"

Upon seeing this, Tyrant Bear immediately shouted.

"Hehe~!"

"I knew my father-in-law still loves his precious daughter!"

Loya laughed triumphantly.

He looked at the girl on the other end of the screen and said, "Wife, do you see? My father-in-law loves you more than I do!"

After saying that, he turned off the video Den Den Mushi.

at the same time.

Inside the cabin of a Buster Call-class warship docked in Sabaody Archipelago.

Loya's two subordinates burst into laughter immediately after confirming that the video Den Den Mushi was turned off.

They tore off the seal from the pink-haired woman's mouth.

And they untied the ropes binding her hands and feet.

"How was my acting? Pretty realistic, right? Especially the crying scene at the end!"

The pink-haired woman said with a smile.

"Lord Loya is truly a master of acting! Big Sister, you... it feels like you're overacting a bit!"

"It was a man who said."

"Alright, Lord Loya's acting skills are definitely better than mine!"

The pink-haired woman laughed.

He then glared sternly at the two men, "But you two! Why did you both stop just before you were about to strike?"

Do you think I'm afraid of this little bit of pain?

"If Tyrant Bear discovers something amiss, can you take responsibility?"

After being reprimanded, the two men quickly defended themselves, saying, "We were looking over there; Lord Loya was speaking!"

"Besides... it's all just acting anyway, so it's enough to just put on a show! We wouldn't have the heart to actually cut off your hand, big sister!"

"Are you all foolish!" the pink-haired woman exclaimed, hands on her hips. "Lord Loya bought us from the slave auction and then helped us get rid of our slave status."

"They even provide us with generous treatment. Such a great favor! What's cutting off my hand? Even if I offered my heart to Lord Loya, I wouldn't even bat an eye!"

"Besides, why would Lord Loya transform me into Joel Bonney's likeness to put on this show?"

"It's all because Lady Bonnie will be Lord Loya's wife in the future!"

"If you can't bear it and this whole thing gets exposed, are you really going to drag Lord Loya's future wife over and chop off her hand?"

"The few of us used to be stage actors. The only role we can play for Lord Loya is to perform well!"

"If we can't even do this basic job properly, how can we face Lord Loya in the future?"

"You two, be more careful! If there's ever another performance like this, don't hesitate to take action!"

"have you understood?"

"Yes, boss!"

……

"Father-in-law, since you've agreed to my two conditions!"

"Now, feel free to say anything or ask anything!"

Loya smiled triumphantly.

Negotiation is about constantly pushing the other party's bottom line.

That's a technique.

First, get Tyrant Bear to "agree," even if it's just a verbal agreement. It's better than making no progress and the situation remaining deadlocked.

After that, you can grind it slowly.

Rayleigh, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally realized what was happening.

The so-called "you can back out" is actually just a sales tactic to make the other party feel that the "cost" of "agreeing" is very low.
