The situation at the scene was worse than anyone imagined. The entire village had been burned down, and not a single person was left alive. There were a lot of charred corpses piled together, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates often followed Whitebeard here and basically knew the people in the village. Seeing such a tragic situation, they wished they could pull Blackbeard and others out and whip their corpses again. Many people were in tears.
Help the villagers collect the corpses.
Of course, there is also Whitebeard's body. When it was discovered, Whitebeard's body was still at the exit of the village. This is where the crew members who came out to report the news escaped, and Whitebeard obviously blocked the Blackbeard sea here.
The thieves fought until the last moment.
There was no intact part of his body. It was basically all bloody, but basically all the wounds were in the front. Until the end, he was still protecting his child without taking a step back.
Of course, seeing Whitebeard's body, all the crew members burst into tears again. Although they had foreseen it before, they still couldn't accept it at this moment.
The funeral was relatively simple. There were no complicated ceremonies. They just buried Whitebeard's body, and then people came up one after another to pay their respects. The only expressionless person in the whole funeral was Linton. Although he admired Whitebeard very much, but
It has nothing special to do with myself.
"He is the person I admire the most besides the captain." Shanks walked up and said, "Tikki... really deserves to die."
"The funeral is over, what else do you want?" Linton asked.
"..."
"I think I have said that the next time we meet, we will be enemies," Linton said.
"It's really hard for people to like you," Shanks said, "Have you verified the information I told you?"
"Yeah." Linton nodded.
"Then according to your character, you won't care about your nephew, right?" Shanks said, "Next, your goal should be the world government. Am I right?"
"Yes." Linton nodded.
"Consider my proposal again?" Shanks asked.
"Well..." Linton hesitated for a moment, "It's not that...there's nothing to talk about."
Linton did change his mind. The reason was very simple, because his mission... was completed. Yes, just after Linton solved the Blackbeard Pirates, what he didn't expect was that he directly received a system prompt to explore the speed of the pirates.
It has reached 100%. As before, Linton directly received a 5 million point reward. Of course, the world has also become a low-threat world.
Of course, this news made Linton very happy. He was still worried about this matter, but suddenly he completed the task and his headache was relieved a lot. Now he no longer has to fight hard, let alone look for anything.
Ralph Drew, if it really comes to that, Linton will be really worried.
Now Linton can actually leave, but he didn't leave directly. Of course, he didn't feel sorry for his nephew. The main reason was... There are too many points in this world. How can he be willing to leave if he doesn't earn enough. Now Linton's points have been
There are already 14 million. These are all points earned within one time travel. If you leave now, you won’t know when you will come back. How can you let it go?
There is still some time before the mission is due to be delivered. All in all, there is no need to rush. Anyway, the mission is completed and you can hand it in right away, so naturally you can earn as much as you can. The world is so beautiful, so you can exchange points for something.
There are too many, and the temptation is too great.
What's more, the place he is going to now is a treasury. Linton vaguely remembers that the first bucket of gold he dug in the world of One Piece was provided by the Celestial Dragons. This is not the ransom of the Celestial Dragons. Ten Devil Fruits are worth half of them.
He collected it for you within hours, how many points do you think he has waiting for him over there?
But there is still some value there, but Shanks's value here is not much. Linton originally attacked him mainly because of the mission. This guy should be a poor guy and can't make much money. Now that the mission is completed, this
Guys don't have much role in this area.
"Huh?" When Linton said it could be discussed, Shanks was also stunned. Because according to Linton's attitude before, it was obvious that there was no need to talk. Why did he suddenly say it was negotiable? He just wanted to try again.
That's it, he didn't give any hope, but after just a few days, Linton agreed again?
"Where's that gift of yours?" Linton said suddenly. Shanks had brought him a Devil Fruit as a gift before, but Linton couldn't accept it without negotiating. What he was thinking about before was to irritate him.
I grabbed it myself, and now I’m too lazy to argue with him.
"Uh..." Shanks was confused, but he asked someone to bring the gift, and he didn't go far. He came here to wait for Linton after receiving the news, so of course the gift was still on the ship.
"After accepting the gift, I will let you go for the time being." Linton said, "Don't you have any other Devil Fruits in your hand?"
"...No more." Shanks said.
"Where is the historical text?" Linton asked again.
"..."
"Are you really poor?" Linton nodded, "Forget it, in this case, you can also consider what you said before about dealing with the world government together."
Yes, part of the reason why Linton let Shanks go was to trick him into working for him. He considered two points. On the one hand, there was some uncertainty about the specific strength of the World Government. After all, it was
For the organization that currently rules the entire world, Linton estimates that they still have some trump cards, and this trump card is not mentioned in the original work. So finding someone can be regarded as exploring the way, or providing a back-up.
On the other hand, Linton also learned a lesson. Yes, he bulldozed the Navy Headquarters last time, which was indeed a relief, but the points gained were not very big, and he had not yet solved the two Yonko Grands by himself. But this time
The main reason why he went to find trouble with the World Government was not for exploration speed, but for points. It would be of no benefit to him to bulldoze them directly. Linton decided to find someone to attract attention, and he went in first to grab all the points.
, after that, bulldoze it.
"In this way, I thought of a good way." Linton said, "The troops are divided into two groups. You attract their attention from the front, and I will sneak in directly. When I have the opportunity, I will launch an attack directly behind them.
"
"Why do I feel like you want to sell me out?" Shanks said.
"How is it possible? I just collected your things, how could I sell it to you?" Linton said, "Well, if you don't believe me, just arrange it like this. Aren't I going to sneak in? I definitely won't.
You may bring someone with you. I think you can go in alone, and then my fleet and men will move with you. You see, it is impossible for me to sell you. How can I still sell my fleet together?
Yet?"
"Uh..." Shanks touched his chin, as if... there was no problem. When he first heard what Linton said, he did seem to be planning to lie to himself, in a very clumsy way. After all, Linton suddenly changed his mind.
, was already very suspicious, and he said that he wanted to attract attention. Isn't this a typical way of asking him to die? But when he heard Linton said that he would let Whitebeard's fleet act with them, he kind of believed it.
He can't really sell his own fleet.
"Are you serious?" Shanks confirmed.
"Of course." Linton said, "It's not because I have nothing to do for my nephew."
Shanks nodded, and when he mentioned his nephew, he believed it again. Linton was also very famous in the industry, and that was that he loved his nephew, because Linton used his nephew as an excuse for everything he did before, which led to everything
Everyone thinks that Linton really loves his nephews, and this is most obvious when you look at the war on the top. Even his nephews think that Linton is serious about loving them, among other things, so they use this excuse to Shank
Si really believes it even more.
"If you are worried, contact the Revolutionary Army and have a look." Linton said, "After all, it is the company where my nephew works, so they can't just watch."
"This...can be considered." Shanks thought for a while and nodded. It was originally a matter launched by the Revolutionary Army, but now they don't care about it. This doesn't make sense. It's just that the world government has completely blocked the news.
The revolutionary army didn't even know that something happened to Saab.
"So you go and announce the news now." Linton said, "Announce the news about Sabo, and also announce that I am going to the World Government to ask for people. You are joining forces with me, so that you can attract attention from the front.
At the same time, we can contact the people of the Revolutionary Army. If we both announce our attack on the World Government at the same time, it is more likely that the Revolutionary Army will come and join us."
"I see." Shanks nodded, "But if this happens, won't the World Government be more on guard?"
"They were already on guard when they arrested my nephew, what do you think?" Linton said.
"That's right." Shanks nodded. The World Government can't suppress this news all the time. If it is really afraid, it will just let people go. The current situation is probably preparations. They also know that Linton has received
The news will probably be killed, so of course we should wait until we are ready to announce the news. This is a trap in the making.
After Linton said this, Shanks suddenly felt that this plan seemed very good. If they didn't explain it now, they were not ready. So now is indeed the best time. He, Linton, and the revolutionary army, this
The threat of wave attacks against the world government is quite large.
Of course, Shanks also had his own considerations, but he didn't think he could get on this wave of ships. After thinking about it again, Shanks finally made up his mind: "Okay, in that case, let's follow your plan."
