Domino found this situation strange.
Reiju was also very curious.
Judging from the situation, Becky is planning to betray Shiki and secretly befriend Loya?
Reiju did indeed think Loya was very powerful, and it was understandable that other powerful individuals wanted to befriend him.
But Becky's words at this moment implied that Loya was in a more "honorable" position than the Golden Lion.
This is a bit exaggerated!
It's important to know that Shiki the Golden Lion was on par with Pirate King Roger and Yonko Whitebeard! Although he disappeared for twenty years and his influence has diminished, he's still a force to be reckoned with!
Loya is so young and has never had any legends passed down to posterity, how could he be more "noble" than the Golden Lion?
"Mr. Loya, let's... be frank, I wasn't sent by Shiki to test you!"
"And although you've concealed it well, as an observer, I can still see that you actually disdain associating with the Golden Lion!"
"Furthermore, I've been eavesdropping on Hawkins and Luo these past few days... Oh, Mr. Loya, you shouldn't be surprised. I have a castle as a base, so naturally, I have all sorts of listening devices."
Becky makes a surprising statement!
"Okay, continue~"
Loya swirled the red wine in his hand, thinking that Becky probably knew something.
"A good bird chooses its tree to perch on!"
"Ever since I was defeated by you at Sabaody, I've come to realize that with my limited strength, if I want to continue developing, I must find a reliable leader!"
"Going it alone, you'll eventually be wiped out by other pirate forces or the Navy!"
"While Captain Shiki is indeed a legendary pirate, he's already over seventy years old. Following such an old man, I always feel I lack imagination."
"It's not just me who thinks this way; Hawkins and Luo feel the same way. Moreover, these two are younger than me. If they really had to follow a leader, they would prefer to choose a younger one!"
After hearing these words...
Loya chuckled and shook his head: "It's entirely possible that Boss Shiki will soon gain the support of many powerful figures in Infinite Hell, and his power will surpass Whitebeard's, allowing him to reach the top of the New World."
"You probably don't know which powerful beings reside in this Infinite Hell, do you?"
"I can tell you that there are at least two strong individuals at the level of a Navy Admiral, such as [Red Earl] Baroric Redfield!"
"For example, there's Douglas Bullet, who spent several years on Roger's ship and possesses strength comparable to Silvers Rayleigh, the right-hand man of the Pirate King, and is known as the 'Descendant of the Devil'!"
"The other powerful individuals may be slightly weaker than these two, but they should not be underestimated!"
"For example, 'World Destroyer' Bondy Wald, 'Giant Barrel' Basque Jolt, 'Crescent Moon Hunter' Catarina Devon, 'Giant Battleship' San Juan Wolf, 'Evil King' Avalo Pizarro, and 'Shichibukai' Crocodile, who was imprisoned here two or three months ago!"
"In addition, Shiryu of the Rain, the warden of the Great Prison, who was considered to be on par with Magellan, the warden of the Great Prison, was imprisoned by Magellan for wantonly slaughtering prisoners."
"It's entirely possible that this person, in a fit of anger, might join the Golden Lion's camp!"
"Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was also imprisoned for disobeying the World Government's orders and refusing to fight against Whitebeard!"
"This man values gratitude the most. Since the Golden Lion released him from Impel Down, he will most likely serve the Golden Lion for a while until he has repaid his debt of gratitude before leaving the Golden Lion."
"I won't name the other powerful individuals; they may not be as strong as those mentioned above, but they are still formidable combat forces."
"Even if some of these individuals are unruly and cannot be used by Golden Lion, in the world of pirates, righteousness must still be upheld!"
"The Golden Lion released them from Impel Down; they must acknowledge this favor!"
"That's not all. Golden Lion has accomplished the unprecedented feat of conquering Impel Down. The legendary pirate's name will once again resound throughout the world. The subsequent influence will attract countless pirates and other ambitious individuals to join his ranks!"
····Requesting flowers············
"I am but a doctor, with neither power nor reputation."
"Compared to such a promising New Flying Pirates, what merit do I possess to deserve your defection from Golden Lion's crew to mine?"
Loya finished his glass of red wine with a contented sigh.
Domino kept glancing at Loya, wondering how this guy could know so much about the Infinite Hell.
The fact that Shiryu of the Rain was imprisoned only happened a few days ago, and even the Marine Headquarters was unaware of it! This was entirely Magellan's unilateral decision!
0......0
'Did this guy plant a spy in Impel Down?'
“Mr. Loya, I’m really not very clear about what you’re saying… I’m hearing these names for the first time!”
Becky frowned. "But there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames! Just from these people's nicknames, you can imagine how terrifying their strength is!"
"Moreover, there are also renowned figures like Shiryu, Jinbe, and Crocodile..."
"But precisely because of this, my resolve to switch allegiance to Mr. Loya has only grown stronger!"
"After all, I was forced to join the Golden Lion's ranks after being defeated by you, Mr. Loya. Boss Shiki has very little trust in us..."
"Now that I think about it, it seems more like Boss Shiki's decision to recruit us Supernovas as his subordinates was preparation for this Impel Down operation!"
"What Shiki truly cares about are these powerful individuals in the Infinite Hell!"
"We Supernovas are just tools that Shiki temporarily uses!"
"In the future, he will have many experts under his command. Although we few supernovas will still be of some use, our importance will be much less."
"Finally, and most importantly..."
At this point, Becky raised her head, her gaze fixed firmly on Loya: "In my humble opinion, Mr. Loya, you are sharing this information with me not to refuse my service, but rather..."
"You want me to think things through before making a decision!"
Chapter 135 He was too eager to improve.
"Hahahaha..." Loya couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Becky, you're very interesting!"
"Indeed, I would be happy to have you serve me... but I don't really like opportunists!"
As Loya finished speaking, he glanced at Becky with a dark look in his eyes.
Becky felt a shiver run down her spine when Loya swept her with that gaze.
He instinctively lowered his head, and for a moment, he dared not say anything more.
Clearly, Loya had seen through him as an opportunist.
His expression of willingness to serve Loya today was merely a way to have another option.
Because in Becky's view, the Golden Lion was doing something extremely dangerous, and one wrong move could lead to utter ruin.
Therefore, Becky, who is always cautious, plans to find a way out for herself.
Loya, whose relationship with the Golden Lion is ambiguous, whose strength is unfathomable, and who is excessively young, is indeed a worthy ally.
As for "loyalty"?
Speculators have no concept of "loyalty"!
The "070s" are only loyal to their own interests.
……
Becky lowered her head, her forehead covered in sweat.
Loya smiled with satisfaction and slowly said, "Bege, you stay with the Flying Pirates for now. I'll contact you when I need you."
Upon hearing this, Becky's eyes flickered twice, and she quickly nodded to Loya.
"Oh... alright, Mr. Loya, please don't hesitate to ask if you need my help!"
Becky was a smart man and knew that Loya meant he was going to test him, that is, "give him a trial".
Domino stared in shock at Loya and Becky.
She couldn't understand why Becky, a rising supernova, would lower herself so much in front of Loya!
Loya, an unknown figure, responded to Becky's offer of allegiance with an attitude of "Want to serve me? You're not qualified yet, I need to assess you!"
She followed Loya and his group from the food warehouse down to the Infinite Hell, and what she saw and heard made even Golden Lion rely heavily on Becky!
What gives Loya the right to treat Becky like that?!
Domino wondered, does Loya think he's even more awesome than the Golden Lion?
'That's utterly absurd!'
'Still too young, thinking that just because he has some strength, he can look down on all the heroes in the world!'
The incomprehensible Domino could only conclude that Loya, having achieved early success, had become too arrogant.
But what she didn't see was that Becky wasn't just bowing low; she was clearly trembling with fear!
He can easily kill three or four supernovas with a single move!
This level of strength is definitely no weaker than that of a Marine Admiral!
Moreover, Loya is still so young! There's a high chance he'll continue to grow stronger!
Not just strength.
In terms of intelligence, Loya also frightens Becky considerably.
At that time, Shiki was approached by three powerful figures: Roger's remnants, the revolutionary Dragon, and Shanks, one of the Four Emperors!
