Chapter 514 You want to kill two birds with one stone, huh?!
Chapter 514 Trying to kill two birds with one stone, huh?!
Franky thought about it carefully and realized that with Xiyan around, the chances of Luffy causing trouble would be much smaller.
Thinking of this, Franky nodded and said, "Okay, then you two can go together."
Upon hearing this, Luffy grinned and said, "Franky, I'm leaving the factory to you and Merry, okay?"
"Of course, no problem!"
Franky gave a thumbs up and said, "As long as Xiyan's clone can find the factory's location, I can wipe it out in one wave!"
He was quite confident in the power of his laser.
So destroying the factory is definitely not a problem.
"I'm fine with it too," Mary nodded.
"profound!"
"Then I'll leave it to you guys!" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.
It's so great to have such a reliable group of partners.
"Leave it to us with confidence~"
'
Super!
'
Franky struck his signature pose again, looking extremely confident.
"profound!"
Luffy nodded, then turned and pulled west Yan along, saying, "Let's go, let's go participate in the duel tournament!"
This time, west Yan didn't move. Instead, he thoughtfully looked back at the direction they had left in.
Seeing this, Luffy asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I suddenly thought of another possibility," west Yan said, stroking his chin. "Do you think it's possible that the Navy isn't entirely on Doflamingo's side?"
"What do you mean?"
Several question marks immediately popped up above Luffy's head: What does it mean that the Navy and Doflamingo are not on the same side?
Haven't they already established a cooperative relationship?
Franky looked at Xiyan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"It just feels a little strange," west Yan said.
"strangeness?"
"Um.
""
Recalling what Fujitora had done at the time, Saien said, "Let's overturn our previous ideas and build a new hypothesis."
"For example... the Navy wants to take care of Doflamingo as well!"
"Thinking about it that way, doesn't it make sense that the admirals aren't taking any action against us?"
"After all, if we fight Doflamingo, the Navy can reap the benefits."
From the Navy's perspective, Doflamingo will definitely come after the Straw Hat Pirates, so the two groups will inevitably clash sooner or later.
In this situation...wouldn't the navy benefit?
The answer is yes!
If Doflamingo is defeated or crippled, they can take the opportunity to eliminate him as well!
"Is that even possible?" Franky asked doubtfully. "Given that Doflamingo is cooperating with the Navy, would the Navy really target him?"
Franky had a feeling the Navy wouldn't do something like that.
"That's true, but who knows if the Navy might actually want to arrest this notorious pirate who has stepped down from the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" west Yan said. "After all, from other people's perspectives, Doflamingo has already stepped down from the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"In this situation, even if the Navy secretly turns against Doflamingo and arrests him, the other Seven Warlords of the Sea won't be able to find fault with it, right?"
The Navy's decision not to take action against the Seven Warlords of the Sea is based on the premise that the other party is also a Seven Warlord. This is also to prevent the other Seven Warlords of the Sea from overthinking and doing something irrational.
But... if the other party is no longer a Shichibukai, then the Navy naturally doesn't need to worry about anything!
In this situation, the navy might actually do something secretly.
Listening to west Yan's explanation, Franky showed a thoughtful expression, while Merry asked curiously, "Would the Navy really do something like that?"
"Don't think so highly of the Navy," west Yan said. "Besides, Doflamingo resigned from the Seven Warlords of the Sea first, so it's normal for the Navy to have their own thoughts."
From the Navy's perspective, Doflamingo's resignation as a Shichibukai was a slap in the face to them!
And their subsequent desire to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was, in their eyes, another slap in the face!
Therefore, the navy's dissatisfaction is entirely reasonable.
Listening to west Yan's explanation, Mei Li nodded. It seemed that she had indeed oversimplified the matter.
"So, the Navy is planning to kill two birds with one stone?" Franky frowned.
It has to be said, the Navy's appetite is truly enormous.
Not only do they want to capture the Spade Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates, but they also have their eyes on Doflamingo... That's quite an appetite!
Aren't they afraid of overeating themselves?
"The possibility is not small," west Yan said. "However, this is actually advantageous for us."
"How so?"
"That way, the navy won't attack us immediately," west Yan explained. "And that gives us more room to maneuver!"
If the previous admiral had attacked them the moment he saw them, they would have been in a difficult position to continue their plan.
After all, a war has already broken out, so why carry out a mission so quietly?
But since the Navy has chosen to stand by and do nothing, then... they can continue to cause trouble!
Franky understood what west Yan meant, and he laughed, "So...it's actually in our favor."
At least from west Yan's analysis, that's the case.
"Shouldn't we make some preparations?" Mary asked.
Although she didn't know what to prepare, she felt she should still ask.
west Yan thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There's no need for that for now. Let's proceed with the plan."
"Luffy and I will go to the Corrida to find the Diamond Fruit. You two will work with my clone to find the factory and destroy it."
"Is everything alright?"
The last question was, of course, asking the two of them if they were confident about sabotaging the factory.
"No problem!" Franky gave a thumbs up and said, "Leave it to us with confidence."
"That's right!"
Little Mei also raised her head, indicating that they had no problem handling this matter.
Seeing this, west Yan smiled, reached out and rubbed the little guy's head, saying, "You're really reliable."
Upon hearing west Yan's praise, Mei Li showed a slightly embarrassed expression, clearly a little shy.
Franky accepted west Yan's praise quite naturally, after all... he was a reliable person, wasn't he!
"However, if you encounter something beyond your control, you must summon me immediately," west Yan instructed.
After all, there is a naval admiral here, so we still need to be cautious.
"Won't this expose you?" Melly asked worriedly.
"We can't just stand by and watch you fall into crisis," west Yan said.
He was more concerned about the safety of his companions than about hiding himself.
"Okay, I understand!" Mary smiled and said, "If I encounter a truly formidable enemy, I will summon you!"
Since west Yan had specifically explained this matter, she had no reason to hesitate.
If you encounter a powerful enemy, just use a summoning jutsu!
"it is good."
"Can we go now?" Luffy called out from afar, turning back. "Don't be too late or you'll miss registration."
west Yan:
After glancing at Luffy, who had already walked away, west Yan was immediately rendered speechless.
This guy is really...
"Here it comes!"
Meanwhile, on the other side...
After Zoro and his crew chased the fairy out of the restaurant, they lost her in the streets, which greatly annoyed Perona.
"Damn it, if it could fly, how could it have gotten away?" Perona said unhappily.
Now, catching up with that guy won't be an easy task.
"Then why don't you just use a ghost?" Zoro said without turning his head.
If the opponent had used a ghost, they definitely would have been able to catch that fairy.
"That's true, but who could have imagined that the fairy would run so fast?"
She had originally planned that if she could capture the other party, she wouldn't need to easily reveal her Ghost-Ghost Fruit ability.
And then... things went wrong.
"and you..
""
"Hey, you two!"
Sanji, who had caught up, looked at them with a headache and said, "Stop running around! We don't have time!"
"I knew I was running out of time, that's why I rushed out to find a knife!"
"It's just a knife, if it doesn't work out, then..."
"6
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Zoro interrupted, his eyes wide. "How could I possibly abandon my sword for such a reason!"
That was a sword entrusted to him by the former Dragon Slayer Swordsman, how could he just give it up like that, you bastard!
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Sanji asked, his eyes wide as well. "Don't forget, it's almost three o'clock!"
""
They went ashore at noon and then had another meal, so they didn't have much time left.
"I know, so I'll find the knife as quickly as possible," Zoro said.
"I'm telling you, if you two keep talking nonsense, the thief will get away," Perona said.
After hearing what Perona said, Zoro gave up arguing with Sanji and began searching for the thief.
Sanji sighed helplessly. What else could he say?
Then, Sanji seemed to notice something and showed a surprised expression.
"That...that is?!"
"Have we found a fairy?" Zoro asked in surprise.
"No, that's not it." Sanji stared intently at Violet and said, "I've found a goddess."
""
"ha?"
Zoro looked at Sanji with a face full of question marks, wondering what all this was all about.
After following Sanji's gaze, Zoro fell silent.
No wonder he's a lecherous chef.
Even at a time like this, this bastard's mind is still full of women.
"You've really gone too far," Perona said, looking at Sanji with disdain. "Have you forgotten the rumors about this country?"
"Don't forget what the women in this country are good at!"
Although this lecherous chef was really annoying, as a partner, she felt it was necessary to remind this idiot.
"That's right." Zoro nodded in agreement and said, "Someone like you can easily lose his life."
As a crewmate, he knew Sanji's personality all too well, and therefore knew exactly what the women of this country would do to him.
"Mind your own business." Sanji said without turning his head, looking at Violet who had given him a flirtatious wink. "I'd be willing to be stabbed to death by a beauty like that~"
As he spoke, Sanji unconsciously began to move forward, intending to get a closer look at Violet's dance.
Zoro shook his head upon seeing this, deciding to let the guy do what he wanted.
"Let's go," Zoro said. "Let's go find the sword first."
"profound!"
Perona replied cheerfully, leaving Zoro somewhat puzzled.
What is she so happy about?
Although they didn't know what was going on, Zoro quickly left with Perona.
"Do you know where to go to chase them?"
"My gut tells me the knife is over there," Zoro said, pointing to the side.
"Let's go then."
"Um.
""
Soon, Zoro and Perona left, leaving Sanji behind, his eyes sparkling with hearts as he watched Violet dance.
The dance ended quickly, and Violet casually tossed the rose in her hand to Sanji.
After Sanji finished speaking, Violet winked at him again.
"ah!!!"
"my heart!"
Sanji, clutching his heart and with hearts gleaming in his eyes, exclaimed, "Is this love?!"
As if conjuring up some pink images, Sanji excitedly began to twist his body.
But as he twisted and turned, he realized that Zoro and Perona, who had been standing next to him, were gone.
"?"
"!!!"
Sanji's eyes widened immediately upon seeing the empty space behind him.
Where did those two people go?
"Oh no, we've lost them!"
That's awkward.
However, Sanji quickly realized that with Perona around, Zoro wouldn't easily get lost, so there was no need to pay too much attention to him.
So... let him go and pursue his own happiness!
Thinking of this, Sanji excitedly turned his head to look in the direction where Violet had just been.
"?"
Where are they?
Sanji was dumbfounded once again when he saw the empty stage.
Is his sweet love about to leave him too?
After a moment of silence, Sanji shook his head and said, "It seems this love isn't meant for me."
After shaking his head, Sanji walked towards a side alley, intending to go back and find that idiot Kin'emon first.
"Seriously, what's with this alley?" Sanji asked, looking around at the couples. "Why are they all couples?"
"Damn, I'm so envious!"
I wish he could be here with a couple too~
As if he had just thought of something, Sanji's face turned slightly red.
This scene was witnessed by the couples nearby.
Couple: ? ? ?
Why is this man blushing as he looks at them?
What on earth is this guy thinking?
Although they didn't know what was going on, these people instinctively kept their distance from Sanji.
Sanji was puzzled by what he saw. Why were these people leaving?
Never mind, it's none of my business anyway, so I'd better hurry up and go find someone.
As he pondered this, Sanji walked inside.
Just then, Violet emerged from a back door, looking somewhat cautious.
He looked as if he was hiding from something.
But when she saw Sanji, she immediately showed a relieved expression.
"Sir!"
Violet quickly approached Sanji, looking at him excitedly and saying, "We just met, right!"
"what?"
Seeing the woman tightly gripping his hands, Sanji didn't react at first, then excitedly exclaimed, "Ah, that's right, we have indeed met before!"
Not only had he seen it, he had also been imagining it in his mind!
"It's so good that you still remember me."
After Violet finished speaking, she glanced back and then said anxiously, "We can talk about the explanation later, please hold me tight first!"
"?"
"!!!"
Sanji was completely dumbfounded when he saw Violet hug him tightly.
Is this... love?!
