One Piece Begins with Emperor Rock King

Gao Jin smiled and led the way and said to Locks: "The emperor just sent down the oracle yesterday, saying that someone will come to him tomorrow. It coincides with your arrival. After thinking about it, the person can only be you."

"Emperor Yanwang is really clever and clever. I just wonder if he can figure out what I am going to do this time?"

Rocks' expression seemed to be panicked, but it turned back in an instant.

Gao Jin narrowed his eyes and looked very good-looking: "Hahaha, what the emperor likes most is to know your enemies and your friends. Only in this way can you fight without danger. Even I know your purpose of coming, so the emperor will definitely know it too."

Locks asked in surprise: "You know?"

Gao Jin took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Rocks: "Hahaha, of course, as long as you know more and see widely, everything will be obvious."

Rocks took it and looked at it for a few times, his face was gloomy for a moment, and then he laughed and said: "Hahahahahaha, you Liyue people are really scary. Fortunately, I am not hostile to you."

Arriving at the top of Yuheng Mountain, Gao Jin pushed open the door embedded in the high wall:

"Hehehe, Captain Locks is overly praised. Here we are, go in by yourself."

Locks handed the paper back to him and thanked him:

"Well, thank you."

After Rocks entered, Gao Jin slowly closed the door and went down the mountain alone.

As soon as Rocks entered the door, he saw a man sitting in a stone pavilion drinking tea.

Locks walked toward Zhongli step by step with somewhat heavy steps. Every step he took would increase an invisible pressure on his body.

When Rocks was ten meters away from Zhongli, Rocks stopped.

The aura on his body was very unstable, as if there was a kind of power that was inspired, but he couldn't control it freely.

At this time, the pressure on Rocks suddenly increased sharply, and Rocks staggered under the pressure and almost fell to his knees.

"what!!!"

A powerful aura erupted from Rocks, and waves of air impacted the space within a three-inch radius.

Zhongli put down his tea cup: "Young people still need more time to get used to it."

Rocks gasped, holding his hands on his knees, and his body kept rising and falling: "Ha, ha, ha, I'm not young anymore. I need the strength to fulfill my dream, the dream of my ancestors!"

Zhongli dissipated the pressure and poured Rocks a cup of tea: "You are not the one who fulfilled his dream."

Locks raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and shouted to Zhongli crazily: "Why? I am the one closest to that dream! I can definitely do it!"

Zhongli shook his head and stretched out his hand for Locks to come and sit down: "No, your cruelty will never be completed."

Rocks did not move, still standing there breathing heavily: "Without brutal rule, no one would accept the rules."

Zhongli's eyes met Locks's: "Cruel rule will cause disunity among your men. When you have no way to threaten them, they will definitely fight back against you."

Locks turned his head subconsciously, but turned around to look at Zhongli: "I don't care about the future, I just need to maintain my own strength. I will definitely be able to complete the work of my ancestors!"

Zhong Li suddenly laughed, and his smile was a little hard to understand: "Hahaha, since you think so, then I can't persuade you. I invite you here today because I want to make a contract with you."

Locks straightened up and almost calmed down: "What contract? Do you need my help?"

Zhongli said softly: "Since you need my help, according to the principle of fairness, I should also make some requests."

"Do you know what I want?"

"Haha, you want to fulfill your dream. I can't help you directly with this matter, but I can provide you with some information and some power that does not belong to you. In addition, if you fail, I will give your successor a How about helping in any way you can?"

Locks thought deeply and asked, "What do you need me to do for you?"

Zhong Li made a surprising statement: "Help me fight with Liyue Qixing."

Locks asked in disbelief: "What?"

Zhongli crossed his arms and said in a deep voice: "On a drizzly day, I was walking in the port and heard a businessman praising his subordinates: [You have completed your duties, now, go and rest.] I was thinking Have I fulfilled my duties? This contract can be regarded as my test for the people of Liyue."

Rocks nodded slightly: "Okay, I agree, am I the only one?"

Zhongli once again stretched out his hand to ask Locks to sit down: "Just you and your team captains. I don't want too much chaos in Liyue. After all, it's all my hard work."

Rocks nodded, walked over and sat down: "I understand, I agree to this contract."

Zhongli showed a satisfied smile at this moment: "This is very good. Anyone who breaks his promise shall be punished as a rock eater."

After sitting down, Locks fiddled with the tea set and looked up at Zhongli: "Emperor Yanwang, how strong are you?"

Zhongli didn't look into Rocks' eyes and poured himself a cup of tea: "I'm just a rock. I've lived for too long, so my power will naturally become a little stronger."

Rocks then asked: "Then is there anyone stronger than you in this world?"

Zhongli blew hot air into the teacup: "Hehehe, yes, maybe."

The contract was signed smoothly, and both parties happily accepted the other's needs.

This shows that talks are beneficial ~

Locks took two sips of tea. He still liked the taste of wine compared to the bitter tea.

"Emperor Rock King, why did you help the alliance to destroy the country of D in the first place? You obviously didn't have to participate..."

Zhongli shook his head: "I must participate. Liyue was still very immature back then. If I don't participate in the war, Liyue will be overthrown by the winner of both of you."

Locks frowned, with confusion on his face: "Then why did you help the alliance? Obviously we are doing the right thing, we are for people to have a better life."

Zhongli knocked on the table, closed his eyes, and seemed to be recalling the war-torn era: "You did it too early..."

Locks was silent.

"..."

Zhongli opened his eyes and looked at Rocks with a hint of apology: "It will be a few decades before the world's general environment will allow you to think like this. The emperor of the empire will not allow slaves to attend court meetings."

Rocks smiled at Zhongli and stood up: "Maybe you are right. I'm leaving. I will go back and study the details of the contract. We will see you later."

"See you."

Zhongli watched Rocks leave, and the empty courtyard returned to its usual loneliness.
