While the world was still immersed in the news that the Giant Soldier Pirates had ascended to the top power in the sea, the Captain of the Giant Soldier Pirates and the new king of the Shichibukai "Ao Oni" Tori came to this island quietly.
"Is that the giant race?"
The head of the Baroque News Agency branch stood on the balcony on the second floor and still had to raise his head to look up at Dongli's head.
This huge size alone is an unstoppable natural disaster for ordinary people!
And they are even well-trained warriors!
It makes people shudder just thinking about it.
And now they come to see the big boss.
The branch chief shuddered silently.
When two Shichibukai meet, something big is about to happen!
Wow!
Soon, the water outside the port surged, and a wooden sailboat more than thirty meters long rose up from the water.
An octopus hangs on the top of the mast. Its small eyes are full of doubts. It seems that it doesn't understand how it got up?
Then, the mast beneath it submerged it like a swamp. Even though it struggled wildly, it made no sense.
Being able to float up from the sea has proved that the sailboat is extraordinary. Coupled with this "hunting" behavior, the name of this ship suddenly appeared in the mind of every giant warrior.
The Hated Battleship Levianson!
Bang!
Slowly turning sideways and leaning against the port, a ladder dropped from the edge of the deck and rested heavily on the steps.
Seeing this, Dongli pulled Frostmourne on his back, and Broki shook Firejoy. They looked at each other and stepped up the stairs.
The next second, the world was spinning, and in the horrified eyes of the giants behind them, their captain and deputy captain disappeared in place with a "whoosh".
If they hadn't known that this was the Black Earl's ability, the other party would have no reason to harm the captain, and they would have chosen to take action now.
In the dark hall, when Dongli and Brocki stood up, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded.
"Long time no see, you two."
"Want a drink?"
The hall is not big. When Dongli stands here, half of his head and arms can touch the ceiling, but it is already huge enough for a normal human body.
In the center, on a dark stone platform, on a throne made of countless bones, sits a charming man. He is wearing a black dress, with a cane standing by his side. His shoulder-length hair hangs wildly on both sides of his face.
Looking at himself with a smile on his face.
"Kahahahaha!"
Looking at him, Dongli took back his hand on the hilt of the sword, stood up and said with a smile: "Of course it would be best if you have it, but we giants are very good drinkers!"
"Don't worry, I have enough wine here."
With that said, Lovett waved his hand, and the zombies brought in huge barrels like water tanks. Smelling the fragrance, Brockie's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to run over and pry them open.
“Good wine!”
"Then drink more."
Waving his hand to control the magic power, the floating wine glass flew in front of him, and Lovett nodded.
"for what?"
"In order that... we can still live to meet."
"Okay, cheers to live!"
Poof!
There was no place for him, so Dongli sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Lovett with a complicated expression.
"Prince Loki asked me to give you a message. He knew that you wanted to take advantage of us at that time, but one code is another code. If you hadn't exposed the true face of the government, we wouldn't even know that we had a blood feud."
"So Elbaf accepts this love!"
"This is really good news. Yesterday I was still wondering if you would put me on the revenge list."
Lovett smiled and raised his glass again.
"For peace?"
"For peace!"
Poof!
After two glasses of wine, the past grudges were settled.
Dongli let out a long sigh of relief: "It's really a good wine!"
"Of course, this kind of wine can even sell for 10 million beli a bottle among the nobles of the participating countries."
Dongli's mouth twitched.
Then I just drank two barrels?
"But one barrel only costs 100,000 Baileys including shipping. I don't know how they can sell it for a sky-high price of 10 million a bottle."
Dongli: "..."
Smiling, Lovett put down his glass.
"You came to me today...probably for the Titan Soldier, right?"
It is very taboo not to go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason, and to meet privately among the Shichibukai.
It's worth Dongli taking the initiative to meet with him. It's obviously not as simple as helping Loki with a message.
"That's right!"
When it came to business, Tori's expression became serious: "The elders in the country have discussed it. Compared with the privileges of the Shichibukai, the biggest goal of reorganizing the Giant Soldier Pirates this time is to achieve cooperation with you."
"If possible, we would like to form an alliance with you!"
The giants are heroic by nature and don't like to beat around the bush, so Dongli directly stated the purpose of his trip.
The Questela branch chief’s premonition came true.
Two kings form an alliance under the Shichibukai, which is unprecedented in the sea!
but……
This is of course.
It seems that things like the Titan Soldier were developed specifically for the Giants. In addition, Tori became the Shichibukai by coercing the government to go to war. Therefore, whether it is for self-protection or simply to improve the combat effectiveness of the tribesmen, it is important for the two parties to reach cooperation.
A necessity.
But it was impossible to hide this kind of thing from the old foxes of Warring States and Wulaoxing. Lovett asked curiously: "They didn't stop you?"
"Hmph! What can you do to stop me?"
"If you don't agree, then fight!"
Dong Li grinned and snorted coldly: "Even if I become a Shichibukai, Elbaf's compatriots who advocate revenge are still not in the minority."
Lovett: "..."
It's quite a rogue.
Then he took a sip of wine and said calmly.
"But I guess they have some special requirements."
"That's right."
Gululu drank a bucket of wine, and Dongli said disdainfully: "You are saying that cooperation between the Shichibukai will never be tolerated, and it must be in the name of Elbaf."
"It's just self-deception!"
Lovett shrugged.
Anyway, the name is justifiable, and it looks good on face when you say it.
Otherwise, if everyone ignores the government's repeated orders and sticks together, the Shichibukai will not be considered a subordinate of the government.
A pirate group comparable to the Four Emperors can be formed directly.
"And the Titan Soldier cannot be brought back to Elbaf, it can only be used by the Titan Soldier Pirates."
Dong Li sneered and looked at Lovett: "As everyone knows, we have no plan to deploy giant warriors on a large scale. Those things are too dangerous."
“A very sensible decision.”
Lovett nodded calmly and glanced at Frostmourne behind Dongli.
"But they don't dare to bet. Who can tell what will happen in the future? It's just for safety's sake."
"Then...the third cup!"
Lovett stood up and looked at Dongli with a smile.
"Have you enjoyed working together?"
“A pleasure to work with!”
Poof!
Amid the sound of collision, three glasses of wine were consumed.
It is announced that the Black Earl and the new Shichibukai "Aoki" Tori have formed an alliance to cooperate in offense and defense!
After all, the opponent is also a Shichibukai now, and with Elbaf's back, he is an important part of the sea.
Even if he did not completely fall out with the government as expected, the change in status made the advantages of cooperating with them outweigh the disadvantages.
Elder Elbaf and Prince Loki behind Dongli also knew this well and knew that Lovett would not refuse.
"Hey, Dongli, you haven't said that yet!"
At this time, Brockie, who was lying on the floor of the hall like a lady with his face flushed from drinking, suddenly shouted.
At this, Lovett rolled his eyes.
"that matter?"
"I understand. Could it be that Prince Loki wants to reach a trade agreement with me?"
"Indeed, I enjoy privileges as a Shichibukai, and even the Five Old Stars have no control over my cooperation with Elbafu."
At this point, Lovett laughed.
"no problem!"
"Don't tell me that we are already allies, how can we not do the business that comes to our door?"
"But I need your people to help determine the route. Just remember to inform Prince Loki to send someone to guide me."
The Black Earl is now the only big boss in the shipping industry. Given Elbaf's situation, Loki will not miss this opportunity to change the tight domestic resources as long as Loki's IQ is at a normal level.
"Well, I did forget about this."
Dongli was stunned for a second, looked at Lovett with lingering fear, and then shook his head: "But I think that's not what Brockie wants to remind me."
"oh?"
Now it was Lovett's turn to be curious.
What else?
"I heard that you offended another monster?"
Dongli grinned: "Want to help?"
"Although it can't be done in the name of Elbaf or even in the name of the Shichibukai, but in my own name, it's no problem, right?"
Lovett was stunned for a second, then his expression turned cold: "Ah, thank you for reminding me."
