It was a phone call from Loya that easily persuaded these people to back down!

Becky and the others were in the castle of the Golden Lion at the time and witnessed this scene.

Clearly, Loya had anticipated that the Golden Lion would be found and made preparations in advance!

Besides eavesdropping on Hawkins and Law, Becky also secretly eavesdropped on Shiki the Golden Lion, and learned that the Impel Down operation was actually planned by Loya behind the scenes.

Becky, who was on the sidelines, saw a startling possibility: that the Golden Lion was just a pawn being used by Loya!

Just now, Loya revealed the list of powerful individuals imprisoned in Infinite Hell. What shocked Becky was not that there were so many powerful individuals imprisoned in Infinite Hell.

Instead, they were shocked that Loya, knowing full well that there were so many powerful beings in Infinite Hell, had so nonchalantly handed it over to the Golden Lion!

Was Loya stupid? Obviously not!

Becky believes that Loya's true intentions are only more astonishing!

However, nothing has come to light yet. Loya is still hiding his true purpose, and no one knows what he is planning.

With such cunning and shrewdness, Becky simply couldn't believe that Loya was just a young man in his early twenties; he was practically a prodigy!

With such strength, potential, wisdom, and methods, how could Becky not feel fear when such a man told her he "didn't like speculators," exposing Becky's speculative nature?

At first, Becky also thought that her Castle-Castle Fruit ability would be invaluable to Loa and could play a significant role.

But now, Becky suddenly realized that her power was nothing in Loya's eyes.

Loya only needs loyalty!

Loyalty is the only thing that has value to Loya!

"You can stay with the Flying Pirates for now. I'll contact you when I need you."

Becky pondered Loya's words.

The more I think about it, the more terrifying the meaning behind that sentence seems.

Others might not be able to tell, but he had been in the underworld for decades and had long since developed a cunning and shrewd judgment!

The deeper subtext of this statement is:

Even if the Flying Pirate Golden Lion has powerful members from Infinite Hell as his subordinates, he's nothing in Loya's eyes. Loya can take people away from this crew whenever he wants!

Becky didn't think that Loya, who had casually exposed his opportunistic nature, would talk big in front of him.

This simple sentence could only be Loya's true inner thought!

'As expected, the Golden Lion was merely a pawn in Loya's hands! And the Golden Lion was completely unaware of this!'

Perhaps, after they've used up all their resources, that will be the day of their demise!

Thinking about this, Becky became even more terrified...

At the same time, Becky also realized another layer of meaning.

Currently, Loya is keeping a low profile; it's not yet time for him to make his grand plans!

But when they do speak, they are astonishing!

When Loya truly reveals his strength to the world, it will be earth-shattering!

At that time, Loya was poised to make great strides, and it was a time when he needed people and profits were being distributed.

He will give more power and allocate more benefits to whoever has shown more loyalty in the past.

'Loya is plotting something big! If I want to get a share of the spoils with 893, I must show my stance and loyalty as soon as possible!'

'Otherwise, if I wait until the time is right and Loya rises to power before joining him, Loya might not value me.'

Thinking of this, Becky, who had originally planned to find an excuse to leave, decided not to leave. He personally led several maids to entertain Loya and his companions with great care.

He lowered his posture even further.

Not just to Loya.

She maintained a remarkably humble attitude towards Reiju, Bruno, and even Domino, who was a prisoner.

Because Becky needed to convey a message to Loya: I know I'm nothing in your eyes, but I hope you can give me a chance to prove my loyalty! I want to do great things with you! I want to improve!

Loya was somewhat surprised to see Becky's increased enthusiasm and humble attitude.

Because in Loya's view, he pointed out that Becky was an "opportunist" and could only be used with caution. Becky would probably feel embarrassed and would later find an excuse to leave, leaving only the maid to serve them 5.8.

After all, Loya doesn't have any substantial benefits to offer Becky right now, so it's not worth Becky humbling herself like this.

Thinking of this, Loya asked, "Bege, what kind of pirate are you? As far as I know, people like Kid, well, they want to be the Pirate King; people like Hawkins, they're just happy to live."

"So, Becky, what about you?"

When Becky heard Loya ask about these things, he knew that Loya understood his desire to improve.

He quickly smiled and said, "I want to... clear my name! Or rather, to have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds!"

"Being a pirate means not having your own territory. You're always on the move, constantly being hunted by the Navy! Your life is never going to end!"

"I got involved in the underworld back then because I was poor and looked down upon! I don't want my wife and children to be looked down upon like I was! I want to become a powerful and influential person!"

"Later, after my business grew and became stronger, it was targeted by a crackdown on organized crime in the country where I was located, so I had to go overseas to find another way out."

"My greatest wish is to be the king of a country! The legitimate kind!"

Chapter 136 No Return

"Gangster" Capone Becky is a former member of the West Sea underworld.

The underworld figures of the West Blue don't admire any of the Four Emperors or the Pirate King the most! They admire Donquixote Doflamingo!

Doflamingo has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and through cunning and scheming, he became the legitimate king!

Although Doflamingo was not as strong as the Four Emperors, his achievements became the ultimate ideal for almost all underworld figures!

Capone Bege knew his own limitations; with his strength, there was virtually no hope of reaching Doflamingo's level through his own power alone.

Therefore, he could only pin his hopes on joining a giant who could help him achieve his "ultimate ideal".

In the original story, Becky managed to gain favor with a powerful figure by marrying one of Charlotte Linlin's unattractive daughters, thus securing a peaceful night's rest.

But he later discovered that Charlotte Linlin was mentally unstable and even harmed her own children, making her a complete disaster.

So they brazenly joined forces with Straw Hat Luffy to assassinate Charlotte Linlin and betrayed the Charlotte Family.

He is a man of considerable courage and resourcefulness.

……

Domino listened as Becky shared her dream.

I didn't find it funny at first.

Dreams are nothing to be ashamed of!

The problem is, Becky seems to think that Loya can help him realize this dream.

This made Domino laugh.

"Hmm~"

Domino couldn't help but laugh after Becky finished speaking.

But she was still polite; she just covered her mouth and chuckled lightly before immediately stopping.

Loya glanced at her, but didn't pay her any attention, and nodded to Becky:

"Hmm, not bad! It's a good dream!"

"I love helping people achieve their dreams! Keep it up!"

Loya's meaning was very clear: as long as you, Becky, are truly loyal to me and have no other intentions, I will be happy to help you realize your dream!

Becky was both pleased and worried upon hearing this; he certainly understood what Loya meant!

The phrase "You have to keep going" isn't meant to encourage Becky to strive for her dream, but rather to encourage her to prove her loyalty to Loya.

Once you've proven yourself and Loya feels he can trust you, Becky, your dream will come true!

But... proving one's loyalty is both easy and difficult!

"I will do my best, Mr. Loya!"

Becky, like a younger brother, bowed and personally poured wine for Loya, saying very solemnly.

"Hahaha..."

Domino looked at the short, fat man opposite her, who had a nervous and obsequious expression, and this time, she really couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

Loya looked at her.

"Oh, sorry, I just think Becky is such a funny guy!"

Domino, being under someone else's roof, didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he just made up an excuse.

"It is my honor that you find me interesting, Ms. Duo!"

Becky knew Domino was mocking him, but he laughed it off with amusement.

He then took the opportunity to tentatively establish himself as Loya's subordinate.
