Chapter 144 Reward Settlement
Chapter 144 Reward Settlement
Two days later, on the Hyperion, after talking with Izo, Hiyori's mood was obviously much better. She slowly walked to the deck and her eyes fell on Ling Yuan who was lying on the sun lounger.
She had always seen everything Ling Yuan did, including letting her meet Izo, taking her and Yamato on a sailing trip, etc. Everything Ling Yuan did, Hiyori had already let go of her guard against Ling Yuan, and she could really see that many of Ling Yuan's choices would prioritize them first.
Taotu walked out of the cabin slowly and stretched her body. Since she left the Navy Headquarters with Ling Yuan, she felt more relaxed than ever before. At least she didn't have to run around for pirates and the orders from the World Government every day. This was the greatest relaxation.
After spending the past few days together, Taotu has completely let it go. Since she is already on Lingyuan's ship, she might as well live a stable life for a while. Moreover, with Yamato and others, life on the ship is much more comfortable than at the Navy Headquarters.
Ling Yuan was lying on a sun lounger, playing with an orange-red fruit in his hand. It was the devil fruit he had stripped from Ace when he left the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard agreed to his promise and stopped showing up, and the Whitebeard Pirates would gradually fade out of everyone's sight. Instead of drifting on the sea every day, it would be better to find a paradise, guard your own piece of land, and protect your family.
Whitebeard was tired of the endless fighting on the sea, and his willingness to agree to Ling Yuan's agreement proved, in a sense, that he was tired and just wanted to have a good rest.
After the Battle of Marineford, everyone who participated in the war on the Lingyuan ship gained a lot. Apart from the Six-Winged Sword Demon and others who were extremely powerful and no longer needed domineering power to enhance themselves, Takatsuki Izumi and Rize had already vaguely figured out how to use domineering power.
Even Kozuki Hiyori has gradually figured out how to use Haki. The geisha, who originally could only play musical instruments, has gradually gained the ability to protect herself.
Even Momosagi couldn't help but praise Takatsuki Izumi, saying that Kamishiro Rize and Kozuki Hiyori were geniuses. Hancock stood beside Ling Yuan and poured him a cup of tea. She was so gentle that she didn't look like an empress at all.
"What are you going to do with this fruit?" Taotu walked to Ling Yuan, bent down and looked at the devil fruit, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
Taotu also knew that this devil fruit was the Flame-Flame Fruit that Ace of the Fire Fist ate. However, Taotu didn't know why Ling Yuan wanted to take it away, and she didn't know what Ling Yuan's next plan was.
Ling Yuan casually threw the Flame-Flame Fruit into his own space and sat up from the sun lounger: "This Flame-Flame Fruit has not yet waited for its true owner. It is useless now, but giving it to Doflamingo in two years will have a better effect!"
"Doflamingo? Is he that Shichibukai?" Hancock looked at Ling Yuan in confusion. Even Momotosagi looked at Ling Yuan who had sat up in confusion. "Doesn't he already have the String-String Fruit? What use is this Flame-Flame Fruit to him? Besides, as one of the Shichibukai, if he gets this Flame-Flame Fruit, won't it eventually fall into the hands of the World Government?"
Ling Yuan put his arm around Hancock's waist and placed her on his lap. He shook his head and skipped the question of the Flame-Flame Fruit and explained the matter of the Seven Warlords of the Sea:
"The entire Shichibukai are pawns planted in the navy by various forces. Aside from the ambitious old Shakti Crocodile and the Buddhist Hawkeye, everyone's purpose is not simple.
"As for Doflamingo, he is considered a subordinate of the Four Emperors Kaido, and he is a Celestial Dragon. Do you think he would be so honest and work for the World Government?"
Ling Yuan's gaze fell on the bent Taotu. From his angle, he could see the deep trench in front of Taotu.
Listening to Ling Yuan's words, Taotu frowned and straightened up. If what Ling Yuan said was true, the establishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would be a major failure of the World Government.
Hancock blushed and leaned against Ling Yuan's chest. As for what Ling Yuan said, she didn't listen at all. Kozuki Hiyori sat on another sun lounger next to Ling Yuan, with two long legs like white jade and ivory sticking out from under her kimono. She didn't understand the world situation, but it was also a very happy thing to listen to Ling Yuan talk leisurely.
Since leaving Flower City and following Ling Yuan on the Hyperion, Hiyori Kozuki has enjoyed a comfortable life that she has not experienced in more than a decade. She has become deeply addicted to following Ling Yuan every day. Although she still cares about the current situation of Wano Country, at least she doesn't have to worry about it and hide herself in every possible way.
"Lieutenant General Gion, you should know that the Pacifist is the transformation of Kuma in Vegapunk, but you probably don't know that before Kuma's self-awareness was erased, he belonged to the Revolutionary Army, right?"
Ling Yuan looked at Tao Tu who was frowning in thought, and revealed another shocking piece of news. Tao Tu's eyes fell on Ling Yuan, motioning him to continue.
However, Ling Yuan did not intend to explain the facts at this time. Instead of letting Momotaro know everything now, it would be better to wait until two years later when he and Luffy arrive at Vegapunk, and then Momotaro will learn all the truth.
"Forget it. Now is not the time to tell you about Vegapunk and the bear. We are going back to Daughter Island. You should have a good rest for two years. We will have big moves later."
After saying that, Ling Yuan lay back on the sun lounger. Seeing that Ling Yuan had no intention of continuing, Taotu curled her lips, turned around and left the deck, leaving only Hancock and Hiyori with Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan took out a pair of sunglasses from the space, closed his eyes and began to rest. In fact, Ling Yuan had been waiting for the past two days. He finally arrived at the Navy Headquarters Marinford and participated in the Battle of Marineford, but the rewards from the system had not come down. Ling Yuan couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
But every time he opened the system panel, there were always those five words on it: Rewards being settled...
Ling Yuan's mind was full of questions. After all, he participated in the war at the top, so it shouldn't be the case that he had to settle the rewards for two days. He still hadn't figured out the results.
At the same time, deep in Ling Yuan's consciousness, "Ling Yuan" and Weilan were sitting opposite each other, but the atmosphere between them was a little tense. They were obviously just drinking tea in the cup, but it seemed as if they had experienced countless rounds of fighting.
"Why can't you revive Ji Zi?" "Ling Yuan" frowned and spoke first, "Don't say you don't have the ability. Even if you have lost your divine body and divine position, most of your power has been integrated into the heavenly plane. You still have the ability to revive a life in the lower universe!"
"He can't revive Himeko Muliangta yet. She is his target. Only if he is determined to change the fate of Himeko Muliangta and Kiana Kaslana, can he defeat me." Willan was not shaken by Ling Yuan's aura and threats. His eyes were calm. "You don't want all our efforts to go to waste, do you?"
Listening to Weilan's calm words, "Ling Yuan" gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "You bastard Weilan, you are so ruthless, you have no heart at all!"
"No! 'Ling Yuan', you have misunderstood. It is precisely because I understand human nature so well that everything I do is based on human nature!" Weilan's expression took on a hint of seriousness and earnestness.
"If I don't understand human nature, the current heavens will have turned into nothingness, and the countless works and stories derived from fantasy on Earth will collapse!"
Weilan paused, staring into Lingyuan's eyes, and spoke word by word. His tone was very calm, but Lingyuan didn't know whether Weilan's heart was the same as his tone.
