If Sengoku doesn't pull back his net soon, I'll become the Pirate King!

Chapter 314 Fate always appears unexpectedly.

More than a month later, it was mid-September of the year 1495 in the Haiyuan calendar.

The Grand Line, Paradise

Enies Lobby, a place that strikes fear into the hearts of both pirates and civilians.

This strangely shaped island houses a court directly under the World Government.

Although nominally called a court, this court actually upholds the justice and will of the world government.

The "fair" judgment of the presiding judge is also based on the mood of world government officials, adding weight to the scales.

For eight hundred years, anyone brought to Enies Lobby has been defined as a criminal, and the court has never issued a not guilty verdict in its eight-hundred-year history.

This has led many people to view this place as a corridor leading to purgatory.

"The criminal Morgans and his men have arrived. Except for the ringleader Morgans, all the others have been sent to Impel Down, the deep-sea prison!"

"Yes, Commander Ruschi!"

A group of black-clad agents escorted Morgans, who was dressed in prison garb and had shackles on his wings and feet, onto the ground at the front gate of the island.

"Behave yourself!"

"Don't think you can act recklessly just because you were once the emperor of the underworld. This place belongs to the World Government!"

"It is the most righteous place in the ocean; every sinner who comes here will weep and repent!"

Urged on, Morgans remained silent, but his eyes held a strange look.

"You bastard, don't think you can get away with what you did. There's a saying in my hometown that goes something like this!"

"If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet!"

Morgans only felt a sharp pain in his tooth roots.

That voice is definitely that kid Bazel's voice! Absolutely!

That kid must be getting revenge for me reporting his scandalous news. What a despicable fellow!

Having given his life in return, Bazel, now disguised with a fake beard and wig, kicked Morgans in the buttocks.

"Hey, newbie, that's good enough."

The CP agent who was escorting the prisoner quickly grabbed Bazel.

"Don't worry about me, none of the criminals who entered Enies Lobby have ever left!"

Bazel waved his hand and spoke in a righteous tone: "This despicable, despicable, treacherous, and reckless bastard should be locked up in the underwater prison!"

"Let him suffer a good beating!"

"Wait, wait! Listen to me, you bastard!!"

Seeing that he couldn't stop the newcomer from beating Morgans, the captain of the escort team hugged Bazel with a pained expression.

"Whose subordinate are you anyway? Why have I never seen you before?!"

"You don't recognize me?!"

Bazel pointed to his face in shock.

"Captain Barry, have you forgotten? We were drinking together three months ago, and we even sang karaoke with the old lady!"

"Back then, I was the one paying for the Pele!"

Three months ago —

The CP agent named Barry gave a somewhat awkward smile.

Back then, it seems he skipped work to go drinking?

Could this newcomer be one of the people I recruited into CP6 back then?

"Hey, I didn't see you clearly because you were walking ahead. Oh, it's you!"

Barry didn't care why he couldn't remember this face; what if his other subordinates knew he was the kind of captain who would eat and drink and then deny everything?

No one will be willing to curry favor with him anymore.

"Your name is—"

"Captain, you really have a bad memory. My name is Bazel, the same as that great pirate. I was almost killed by CP9 Commander Ruschi because of that."

Bazel knelt on the ground, casting a shadow behind him.

OrzlI

"My mom gave me this name, what can I do about it?!"

"Okay, okay, Bazel! That wasn't your fault. From now on, follow—hmm?"

Barry stared blankly at the gold watch that had suddenly appeared in his palm, shimmering with the light of Pele.

"Captain, is this your watch? I found it on the ship earlier."

"Heh, you're not bad, kid. Hmm, this is the watch I lost before."

Morgans stared in shock as the man put the gold watch into his pocket.

Hey!

This kid's name really is Bazel!

He really is Bazel, you idiot!!!

"Huh? You dare glare at the captain?!"

Bazel slapped Morgans on the back of the head.

"Keep your head down and walk obediently. You're a sinner; know your place!"

Morgans stopped in his tracks and glared angrily at Bazel, who was disguised as a CP agent.

"Captain, this bastard dares to glare at me."

Barry glanced at Morgans. "Be magnanimous, Barzel."

"You will personally escort him to the jail later. I need to report to someone and won't be there for half an hour."

"Listen up, you guys, Bazel needs a little privacy. Go find him in half an hour!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Standing at the very front, Bazel gave Morgans a gloating smile.

He made a V sign with his right hand in front of his chest.

Morgans gritted his teeth; he was about to tattle and expose Bazel's true identity!

"If you don't want anything to happen to your subordinates, you'd better cooperate with my performance."

Bazel leaned down and whispered in Morgans' ear.

When Barry and other agents looked at him strangely, Bazel deliberately acted like a vicious wolf.

"Kid, I'll take good care of you later. Don't worry, I'm a messenger of justice, I will never kill you!"

""

The agents looked away.

"You bastard—"

Before Morgans could finish speaking, Bazel slapped him on the back of the head again.

Keep your mouth shut and hurry to the temporary prison.

"Captain, you can completely trust me."

Bazel straightened his body and reported in the same posture he had adopted in his youth in the Navy.

"In half an hour, I will absolutely present the complete sinner to you!"

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

After his "colleagues" left, Bazel glanced at the surveillance Den Den Mushi at the end of the cell corridor.

Holding a leather whip, he grinned as he entered the room where Morgans was imprisoned.

"Hey, when did you sneak in here?!"

Bazel removed his beard and wig and sat comfortably in the only chair.

"You ask me when? Of course, it's when you leave Beihai."

"I asked a friend of the CP to find your location, and then secretly switched your clothes."

"You have friends within CP? A pirate and a CP agent are friends?"

Morgans looked at Bazel in disbelief.

"Hey, what's this new joke?!"

Bazel picked at his ear: "Keep your voice down, I'm not planning on rescuing you right now."

"All your men are imprisoned in the underwater prison, right?"

"Since we're finally going out to sea, we have to get everything done."

When the man mentioned his subordinates, Morgans narrowed his eyes.

"My men, Bazel, it seems there are some shady characters among them."

"My itinerary has always been a secret. There's absolutely no way those agents could know my whereabouts, unless—"

Bazel chimed in, "Unless there's a traitor among your men."

"That's right, it seems there's a traitor among my men!"

A sinister grin spread across Morgans' face.

"Don't rush to save me, I'll go to the underwater prison first."

It doesn't matter who's here, the main thing is to see who's not. Anyway, with your abilities, you can definitely rescue me, right?

"There's no problem, but..."

Bazel looked at Morgans with a smile.

"Rescuing you from here is a completely different level of difficulty compared to rescuing you from the underwater prison."

"Not to mention you'll have to bring your subordinates along."

"Morgans, friendship is friendship, and personal feelings are personal feelings. As one of the representatives of high emotional intelligence, you wouldn't just sit idly by, would you?"

Morgans narrowed his eyes: "What do you want?"

"news."

Barzel snapped his fingers.

Morgans's accident was purely accidental; he had once owed the other party a favor because of the New World chart.

I just never expected them to use it in this way.

But that doesn’t mean he can’t do anything.

On the contrary, this incident of repaying a favor is an opportunity.

"World Economic News, I need your power to control public opinion."

public opinion----

Upon hearing this technical term, Morgans knew that what the other party was about to say was anything but simple.

"Explain in detail."

"Not long after, probably a few months after this grand banquet, the stronghold of the beasts and the Kingdom of Heaven will declare their opening to the world."

"I hope you can use the power of the newspaper to help me spread this message to many countries in the latter half of the New World."

"We are launching a project called the Golden Road" —

Immediately afterwards, Bazel explained the whole story of the plan to Morgans as quickly as possible.

"I want to use this to open a gap in everyone's heart, to prepare for something in the future."

Morgans did not answer immediately, but instead fell into thought.

This was the first time he had heard of the Golden Road plan, even though Bazel described it simply.

Everything was for making money, but—

If it were really that simple, the other party wouldn't need to haggle with me at this point.

In other words, the other party has another hidden purpose.

"No problem, I can agree to this if it's just a small matter."

When Morgans agreed, he made a decision in his heart.

After he leaves, he will first go to Wano Country to check on the situation there.

He knew the man's character; every seemingly casual transaction by Bazel definitely concealed something much more.

While it may seem like you can only earn 1 Berry, the side businesses behind the scenes can actually earn 100 or even 1 Berry!

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

A barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of Bazel's mouth.

He knew that given the curiosity of journalists, they would definitely go to Wano Country to inspect it after escaping.

And that's exactly what he wanted!

Once Morgans goes to Wano Country, his worldview will definitely be overturned by the core values ​​there.

At that point, it will simply be a matter of making a choice.

Either join them, or never have any contact with them again.

But then again.

Morgans was a journalist, and he would never let go of those extremely rare news materials.

In addition, the World Government arrested him this time on charges of defaming the Celestial Dragons.

Morgans, the intelligence king, has been pushed to his side by the Five Elders.

"It's a pleasure working with you!"
