Chapter 729: Arelia(1/2)
"Lucci, do we really have to go out together? If so, your safety will be at risk."
In Mary Joa, Rob Lucci's office, Kalifa, Kaku and other members Lucci brought from CP9 all showed hesitant looks, and Kalifa even sounded worried.
Lu Qi, who had taken off part of the bandages, now had much less cover on his face. After hearing Kalifa's concern, he shook his head with a smile and said:
"I can only control enough stars if I am in enough danger. If there are too many protective forces around me, then even the Five Old Stars will not allow me to dispatch too many stars.
You have all read Bruno's report this time. The ten stars can even threaten the generals. Although there is still a long way to go before they are truly defeated, it would be a disaster for the world government to have one more of these weapons.
.
Or do you think I can’t kill Stussy now?”
Hearing this, Kaku and others were silent. Lu Qi's injury needs to be checked almost every three hours, and the report will be updated. In his current state, if he wants to defeat a CP0 elite,
It's difficult.
Fortunately, Lu Qi does not need to go out now. As long as Lu Qi is given three more days, then maybe he can recover enough to kill Stussy.
But it's not safe. After all, that woman became CP0 even earlier than the time they received training from Ku Hao. No one knows what trump card she has.
And several people could also see that although Lu Qi was re-activated this time, Wulaoxing still did not dare to fully trust him, otherwise he would not have specifically asked Stussy to travel with him.
This means that Stussy also knows that her task is to monitor Lu Qi. In such a wary situation, it would be extremely difficult for Lu Qi to kill her.
Compared with Stusy, these newcomers have no hidden cards, especially Lu Qi, who has been attracting attention ever since he became a candidate for CP0 chief executive.
His dynamic and static powers have probably been registered by some department, and his combat moves, style, and application of the fruit may have been thoroughly analyzed.
In this case, if he were to fight against Stussy, he would be inherently inferior in terms of intelligence. If Lucci could recover to full health, he might be able to kill Stussy forcefully with a higher level of strength.
But now there is not so much time. Uta only has the last three days of preparations left. Lu Qi plans to send out Kaku, himself, and most of the CP0 agents.
Only a small number of CP0 agents are left to maintain the operation of CP. In this case, the world government can only send Stussi to cooperate with the stars.
However, the time frame for the execution of this plan is only three to four days. Once it is longer, the incident at UTA will be over, and the CP0 agents will need to return no matter what the outcome is.
If we wait until the CP0 agent returns, then Wulaoxing will not be able to just send Stussy to follow Lu Qi on the mission to kill Vegapunk.
Of course, it is impossible to send Lu Qi's confidants, but other CP0 agents who are free. By then, Lu Qi will be equivalent to becoming a person in the encirclement. In this way, the hope of killing Stusi will change.
It was extremely slim.
This is why Kalifa cannot be optimistic about Lu Qi's arrangement. After all, it is too difficult to recover her body enough to kill Stussy within three or four days.
Even if Lu Qi is a user with fruit abilities and his vitality is different from ordinary people, it would be difficult for him to recover in such a short period of time. After all, only a week has passed since Lu Qi's serious injury was discovered.
Based on Lu Qi's injury, conventional treatment would take at least a month. This does not include rehabilitation training. After all, anyone's body will be very "strange" after being healed from injury.
Coordination, balance, sensitivity, strength, etc. all require rehabilitation training in order to regain the state before the injury. But what about Lu Qi? It is difficult enough to heal after only giving yourself ten days, let alone running in with the body.
.
Therefore, it's not that Stussy and others don't trust Lucci, but this decision is really hard to believe.
Seeing that several people were silent and their eyes were a little evasive, Lu Qi also understood that these people were worried. He pursed his lips and said, "I will choose to attack Stussy after I set foot on Danjian Island."
With just such a sentence, Kalifa and others breathed a sigh of relief. Eggjian Island was Vegapunk's territory and was guarded by the navy.
After choosing to go to Danjian Island, if they attack Stussy, the success rate will be much higher. Of course, what makes them really relieved is that when Lu Qi gets to that place, it may be difficult to die.
Seeing that his colleagues were no longer worried and opposed, Lu Qi's face, for some reason, showed a smile and said: "Instead of worrying about me, why not think about your mission."
"Isn't she just a little girl?"
Bruno said naively. Although the others did not speak, their expressions did not pay much attention to it. After all, they knew that in this mission, they actually had to act together with the navy.
As for the leader of the navy, in addition to the two generals holding the battle, there is another person, and that is Don Quixote Rocinante, the user with the Silence Fruit ability.
The information has clearly stated that for the ability user named Uta to have her ability work, people must clearly hear her singing. If they do not hear her singing, they will not be affected by her ability.
Therefore, everyone regarded this incident more as the reason for Lucci to liberate them from Mary Joa.
Lu Qi shook his head and said: "Don't forget, this matter involves a sea emperor. Counting the time, our intelligence supplier should have met with Shanks."
Dressrosa, the usually bustling streets, had very few people walking around at this time, and the only people who could appear on the streets, except for the kingdom's army, were unmarked people, but they were obviously not simple people.
They are members of the Navy, or in other words, the Night King's assassination force within the Navy. Their mission today is to put the entire Dressrosa under martial law because a special guest is visiting today.
At the port, the Red Foss slowly docked. When the anchor was lowered, both Dressrosa's Kingdom troops and members of the Night King's troops became nervous.
After all, the Sea King is an extremely dangerous existence wherever he is placed. If he is not careful, the same tragedy as the Music Kingdom Eregia twelve years ago may occur.
But at this time, the Red Forth was very quiet, without the noise of the pirates. Even the speed of lowering the anchor and furling the sails seemed so slow.
"Tap~"
In the blink of an eye, a group of people suddenly appeared in the deserted port. The leader was none other than the Red-haired Emperor of the Sea, Shanks.
"Gulu~"
Seeing Shanks and the cadres behind him, everyone was extremely nervous. The air pressure seemed to drop in an instant, and everyone's breathing became cautious.
"Ahahaha~ I heard that the dancing and food in Dressrosa are great, but looking at it now, it seems that we came at the wrong time. They don't seem to be open today."
Suddenly, Shanks laughed and said to the cadres behind him. Jesus scratched his head and said, "Captain, this is all your fault. Who gave you such a bad reputation?"
"Hahaha~"
Hearing Jesus Bu's complaints about Shanks, everyone else also laughed. Even the vice-captain Beckman, who had always had a cold face, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Shanks was also used to the crew's complaints about him. He shook his head and then looked at the street. The Kingdom's army and navy had already vaguely planned their way from the distribution, and walked directly over.
Shanks didn't ask for directions, and the cadres behind him didn't mean to talk to him. After all, these poor people's psychology was already tense enough. If they talked to them again, they might have a psychological breakdown.
Following the path indicated by these people invisibly, the group of people quickly arrived at the entrance of a dance hall. Looking at the photos and the hot photos next to them, Shanks scratched his head and said:
"I didn't expect that this navy man with such a good reputation would be so good at it."
"Me too."
"Hahaha~"
Not sure who was talking to them, the group burst out laughing again. Without any intention of tidying up their appearance, Shanks walked in directly with his cadres.
Arriving here, Shanks could already sense where Rosinandi, who invited him over, was. After walking through the doorways, Shanks arrived at the central dance hall.
There are some colored papers and sequins scattered on the floor of the dance hall, and there are scattered traces of glitter on the leather sofas. The smell of alcohol, musty smell and some kind of weird smell linger in the dance hall.
But Shanks didn't seem to mind it. After all, the smell on a pirate ship was much worse than here.
At this time, there was already a person sitting on the circular sofa closest to the steel pipe in the middle of the ballroom. It was Rosinandi who invited Shanks and others over.
As an intelligence officer who has been working behind the scenes for many years, Rosinandi was not familiar with this kind of thing, and was even very unfamiliar. He did not know how to entertain these "guests".
On the bar in front of you, there are some fruits unique to Dressrosa. Perhaps to take care of Shanks and others' pirate status, there is also a lot of wine on the bar.
When Shanks saw the wine, his eyes lit up, and he walked over directly, sat next to Rosinandi, and reached out to pick up a bottle of wine.
"Boo~"
"Tons, tons, tons~"
After opening the bottle, Shanks raised his head and drank half of the bottle. Putting down the bottle, Shanks trembled all over, then took a big breath, then looked at Rosinandi, who looked uncomfortable, and said with a smile
:
"If I had known that your navy was so enthusiastic, I wouldn't have kept such a distance from you all these years."
"Haha~"
Rosinandi smiled awkwardly. At this time, the others had already sat down. Without any courtesy, they all started eating fruit and drinking. Only one person seemed not satisfied.
That was Rakiru. The big fat Rakiru looked at it and found that there was no meat at all. He was a little unhappy for a moment. After all, for such an absolute carnivore, fruits are considered fasting, except for fruit wine.
Shanks saw that Rocinante seemed a little uncomfortable, so he didn't speak immediately. Instead, he ate and drank. It wasn't until he was tipsy that he looked at Rocinante with a smile.
Rosinandi also adapted to the style of these people at this time, nodded and said: "Mr. Shanks, you should also know the purpose of my inviting you here this time, right?"
After hearing Rosinandi's direct question, the smile on Shanks's face faded. Not only him, but also the smiles of the cadres gradually disappeared and replaced with serious expressions.
Shanks nodded and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't settled the accounts with your navy yet. To engage in such a big battle and spread the news to every corner of the sea, isn't this an attempt to harm my daughter?!"
In the tone that suddenly became extremely serious, the domineering aura of the Sea Emperor and the permeating murderous intent broke out instantly, and the cadres all looked at Rosinandi with unkind expressions.
But contrary to their expectations, this navy man with an excellent reputation and who had always been hidden behind the scenes was not frightened. In fact, after facing this kind of pressure, his face became more relaxed.
After all, Shanks like this is what Rosinandi expected the Emperor of the Sea to look like, and the rhetoric he prepared was also designed for Shanks like this.
"You should feel lucky."
Rosinandi suddenly said without any clue. Shanks frowned and asked, "What are you glad about?"
"Fortunately, my commander is not very interested in your family affairs, nor does he think your daughter can cause much trouble to the world.
Otherwise, it is not me who is talking to you today, but my commander, and what is placed in front of you is not fruit and wine, but a butcher knife and a shotgun."
When he said these words, Rosinandi's face was still relaxed, and he even smiled. Shanks narrowed his eyes.
"Hahaha~"
The next moment, Shanks' momentum dissipated and he said: "Tell me, what do you want to know?"
"I want to know everything you know, especially what happened to Iregia twelve years ago?"
To be continued...
