Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

"Red-haired Shanks?"

Several people in the tent were stunned for a moment. After looking at each other for a few times, they nodded to the messenger.

"Let him in."

"yes."

A few minutes later, a fat man squeezed into the conference room.

"Laki Lu?"

Rayleigh exclaimed immediately when he saw the familiar figure in front of him.

"Mr. Reilly!"

Lucky Lu's tone also contained a hint of joy: "Long time no see."

"Long time no see. He's gotten a lot stronger."

Reilly stepped forward and patted Lackey Road with a smile.

After the two reminisced about old times for a while, Rayleigh asked:

"Laki Lu, how did you find this place?"

This is also the issue that Long and others are most concerned about.

Lucky Lu scratched his head and took out a piece of life paper from his palm.

"Shanks asked me to follow the direction of this paper and I can find where the Revolutionary Army and the others are."

"This piece of paper..."

Rayleigh looked at the paper of life. The next moment, the paper of life moved towards Rayleigh in Lackey Lu's hand.

"Is this my life paper?"

Reilly was stunned for a moment.

"Shanks actually guessed that Rayleigh has joined forces with us?"

Long frowned and said.

"I don't know about that..." Lackey Lu scratched his head, "But it turns out this is Mr. Reilly's life paper."

No one has any doubts about why Shanks has Rayleigh's Life Paper. After all, Rayleigh and Shanks were crew members of the same ship before, and they had seen each other many times in the past twenty years. Rayleigh himself didn't even remember if he had ever given the red-haired his life sheet.

If Shanks had his heart, it would be very simple to leave a piece of his own life sheet.

After staring at Lucky Lu for a moment, Long coughed twice and brought the topic to an end.

After all, if the person was found using the paper of life, it could only mean that the red-haired person had guessed the relationship between Rayleigh and them, but did not know their specific location. Looking at it this way, their current position is still safe.

So there is no need to worry about this matter for the time being.

Long raised his eyebrows and looked at Lucky Lu: "Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's talk about it after you and Lei Li reconnect with each other."

"Now let's get down to business. You said you came as Shanks' envoy, so what does Shanks want to discuss with us?"

"Oh, this..."

Lucky Lu took out his phone and dialed a number.

The image of the Telephone Bug changed into that of Red-Haired Shanks.

"Laki Lu? Have you found the location of the revolutionary army?"

Shanks' voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Well, I am now in the general conference room of the Revolutionary Army. Mr. Reilly, Long and Weiwei are all standing in front of me."

"Is that so?"

"Shanks."

Long also spoke at this time: "Although I am curious how you guessed that Rayleigh was acting together with us, but..."

"Now let's talk about your purpose of contacting us."

After saying that, Long stretched out his hand toward Lackey Lu.

Lucky Lu understood immediately and handed the phone bug to Long.

On the other end of the phone, Shanks, who was standing on the top of the cliff in Windmill Town, was silent for a moment when he heard the dragon's voice.

Looking at Ace behind him, he nodded and said:

"We want to make a deal with you."

"Content of transaction?"

"It's very simple. You have now gone to war with the World Government. The price we pay is that all the pirates in the Red Haired Pirates will join your camp and fully help your Desert Alliance in this war."

"You help Desert United?"

Long hesitated.

Frankly speaking, the Saudi-Sea coalition currently does not lack high-end power. But if you can fight for a Yonko-level combat capability, there is no need to refuse.

But for someone with red hair who values ​​his partners so much, it’s definitely not that simple to be willing to risk the whole group.

"...So what do you need us to help you with?"

Since it is a transaction, you must get something when you get something out. Shanks is willing to pay such a high price, and his demand will not be small.

"It's very simple. Dragon, aren't your opponents the World Government and the Navy?"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, both Long and Weiwei's expressions became a little subtle.

Long did not answer the question directly. Instead, he hummed softly and said, "You continue."

"Our needs are simple."

"We will do our best to help you. What you do with the world government and navy in the future has nothing to do with us."

"But you can't hurt Mary, or... you can't kill her."

Shanks didn't know the relationship between the Revolutionary Army and Mary, so he used extremely sharp words.

"We still need to make a break with her."

"Well……"

The expressions on Long and Weiwei's faces became even weirder, and the corner of Rayleigh's smiling mouth seemed to be twitching a little, so much so that Lucky Lu noticed that something was not right in the atmosphere.

After hesitating for a moment, Long asked in a deep voice:

"Excuse me, what does it mean to end things with Mary?"

"Let me tell you this, Shanks."

Ace took the phone bug from Shanks and said seriously:

"That's right. We have no desire for revenge now... Haha, you can't say we don't have it, but now we have no desire but no power."

"Even if we can rely on the help of others, even if we help you win this war, you probably won't support our revenge against the navy, right?"

"Of course."

At this time, before Long could speak, Weiwei spoke.

Upon seeing this, Long also handed the phone bug to Weiwei in a timely manner.

"No matter what, the Navy's stance when facing the pirates is beyond reproach. The Revolutionary Army and the Desert Alliance would have done the same thing."

"Weiwei..."

Ace was stunned for a moment when he heard this familiar voice, and then his expression became a little excited, but then it immediately became complicated.

"long time no see."

"Yes, it's been more than half a year since Alabasta parted ways. When you helped us defeat Crocodile, I haven't given you a formal thank you."

Weiwei also smiles heartily when talking about the past.

"Yeah, at that time I could actually fight alongside the navy..."

Ace's tone was full of regret.

In just over half a year, he has experienced too many things, and an impulsive and immature young man has grown up rapidly.

Now he is the only pirate on the sea who still carries the flag of Whitebeard.

"Your comrades at that time were Mary and Smoker, right?" Vivi also said with emotion, "So, what are you going to do with Mary? Is it your father Whitebeard, or Shanks' good friend Mi Hawke?”

"If it was before, it was Whitebeard's head. If it was a few days ago, it was Mihawk."

Ace straightened up and faced the sunshine and said seriously: "But now, we just want to end things with Mary."

"The end of a pirate and the navy."

"This is what she promised us. We may not be able to defeat her, let alone kill that monster that no one has ever seen..."

"But after all, we still hope to be on an equal footing with her and have an upright duel with her."

"Instead of this kind of fight that is almost a charity."

"Therefore, we hope to help you, participate in this war, and defeat Mary once."

"This is our idea and this is the promise Mary made to us."

Ace reminded Vivi by emphasizing several times that it was Mary who brought this up.

Weiwei showed a smile and said softly:

"In this case, there is no need for you to be enemies with Mary, right? If you fight side by side with Mary and win this war, you can still gain equal status to her, right?"

"As it stands now, the world government clearly has a greater chance of winning."

"Are you kidding!?"

Ace immediately shouted dissatisfied:

"World Government? How can a pirate fight side by side with that kind of scum!"

"Don't insult us!"

The red-haired man also looked a little unhappy.

Although pirates are not good people, and the red hair has some connection with the World Government, but...

Collaborating with the world government...even from the red-haired point of view, it is a very despicable act.

After all, they still uphold the creed of freedom, rather than purely for wealth and fame.

"So, I don't really want to defeat Mary, but I just want to gain equal status with Mary..."

Weiwei's tone was a little unpredictable: "Are you sincere?"

"We don't need to lie to you." Ace said, "We have no more chips to play with."

"Well, if that's the case, then you shouldn't contact us about this matter."

After Weiwei said that, she glanced at Long.

Long also realized what Weiwei meant and nodded.

"What's the meaning?"

Ace asked with a frown.

"I'll give you a phone number in a few days. You can contact that person."

Weiwei replied.

Since it was Mary who raised the question and it was Mary who made the promise, Weiwei and Long did not intend to make any arbitrary decisions on this matter.

Now is a critical period for the execution of the plan. The pirates cannot be trusted after all, so it is not easy to explain to them the relationship between the Navy, the Desert Alliance, and the Revolutionary Army at this stage.

After Mary, the navy, and others are all in place, it's time to let the pirates in.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Ace was obviously confused, "Aren't you and Long leaders? You two...can't make a decision?"

"It's not that I can't make a decision, it's just..." Weiwei wiped her chin, "We are not the ones best suited to make decisions."

"So...please wait for a few days and we will give you a reply."

"This won't take long."

…

"Is that so? Red Hair, Ace, they actually contacted you to tell you these things..."

In a hotel in Rogge Town, Mary rubbed her temples with a headache.

"Really, taking your own dignity so seriously... is troublesome."

"It would be nice to wait until the war is over, but I still want to intervene."

Mary shook her head helplessly.

"Then you mean... we reject them?"

Weiwei's voice came from the phone bug.

"No, it would be too heartbreaking to refuse now. After all, the red-haired man is also a strong man at the level of the Four Emperors. Such a strong man has a great influence on the battle situation. He cannot be allowed to become a destabilizing factor."

Mary doesn't know yet, but Ace is actually someone who can compete with the Four Emperors.

"Although I don't like pirates, if the help that comes to my door is to be believed, there is no need to refuse it now."

"In a few days, when I lure Yin Mu out, I will contact them again and explain everything. Even if they really want to do anything by then, it will not be harmful to us. If they are willing to help us, we will definitely make money. They are unwilling to help us... With their strategic capabilities and character, it is unlikely that they will do anything detrimental to us again."

"Ah, I still feel so troublesome, that guy Ace..."

Mary scratched her head.

To be honest, when giving Ace and the others a chance to end everything, Mary's original intention was just to give them a step down.

After all, Ace was the one who helped her a lot, and Mary didn't want to make this former comrade look too bad.

But she really had never expected that they would take this promise so seriously.

She admitted that she had indeed underestimated how much people in the One Piece world valued commitment.

...Speaking of which, can they really not see the gap between the two now?

Mary sighed, shook her head, and changed the topic:

"In other words, Plague has not been caught, and Famine and him are still wandering in the East China Sea, right?"

"Well, Famine is very powerful, and Saint Magik is also injured. He told you to be careful. According to him..."

Weiwei recalled: "The famine is probably as good as Saint Edved."

"I see."

Mary quickly calculated her strength in her mind.

At the general level, it is difficult to pose a threat to her.

but……

"That guy's ability is still too weird. Doesn't any of you know what Famine's ability is?"

Mary asked with a frown.

She had dealt with famine once before in Baldigo, and the strange behavior still left Mary a little confused.

"I don't know, so you need to be more careful."

Okay, that's normal. This guy from Famine also made serious moves every few times.

"By the way, Your Excellency Mary. Marshal Sengoku contacted us just now. The World Government has granted the navy's request to return to defense, and they will return to Mariejoia starting at 7 a.m. tomorrow. We will set off to the Red Earth Continent simultaneously."

Weiwei got down to business: "According to estimates, all our deployments will be fully in place in about six days."

"So... the next time arrangement is up to you to decide."

Weiwei pursed her lips.

Her best friend, the person she admires, will probably face the strongest person in the world next.

And before this war is over, they will probably never see each other again.

"……Take care of yourself."

"Well, so are you." Mary's face was also quite solemn, "The martial arts will be prosperous."

"..."

Bah.

The phone hangs up. Mary took a deep breath, walked to the window, and looked at the cloudy sky.

The air is getting hotter and humid, and a storm is coming.

"Tomorrow...six days later..."

Using the Kingdom on the Bridge as the anchor point, and based on the direction of the Labor Bridge, hydrogeographic conditions, and historical data, He and the others locked in on the general scope of Lafdru.

But... how to overcome the interference in the sea is ultimately up to Mary herself.

She doesn't have time to wait for the construction of the Labor Bridge to be completed, but she does have a way to overcome the interference in the sea - if her guess is correct.

But to be honest, she didn't actually have to find Ralph Drew. Just being able to lure Yin Mu away is enough.

Mary is confident of this.
