Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 279 Future
"Want to go look for it? The Operation Fruit should still be floating on the ocean."

Long shook his head and said, "I have no interest in eternal life. This is not what I pursue. What do you want me to do by telling me all this?"

Lu Chen said nonchalantly: "You who know this news have already stood against Yimu, so I don't need you to do anything. You can do whatever you want. I won't stop you from finding justice in your heart."

Although Long originally stood against the World Government, Lu Chen still told him a lot of things, which should be able to help him.

Long took another step forward, and now the two were very close. He spoke in a calm tone, "I know you are guiding me to pursue power. So tell me, how can I obtain power?"

Lu Chen answered without hesitation: "There are many devil fruits in the sea. If you can find a strong enough one, you can become extremely powerful. And powerful companions can also play the same role."

Long was silent for a moment before continuing, "Of course I know all this. Do you have any other suggestions? Considering your long experience."

"Go find those monster-like companions. With their help, you will definitely be able to succeed."

"Will you help me?"

Lu Chen didn't answer the question directly: "Roger will find the final island, where he will know all the lost history. But by that time his body will not allow him to do anything. Under normal circumstances, everyone will lose to time and disease."

Long understood the meaning of this sentence and misunderstood Lu Chen's words: "You want me to find the surgery fruit to treat Roger? What's so special about him?"

Lu Chen quickly explained, "He will become the Pirate King, but that's really nothing special. I didn't mean for you to sacrifice yourself to save him. Only after he dies will all fate unfold."

But I can't let Long have any misunderstandings because of what I said.

Long fell silent. He wondered if everything was fixed by the prophecy. Then, would what he was doing still have any meaning?
There was another period of silence. After a long while, Long finally asked, "So now all I need to do is wait? Wait for Roger to use his death to usher in the new era?"

"You can also choose to realize your own justice in this process. Remember, not everyone can live to see that day. Someone has to save them for their own ideals, justice, and other reasons. Although I can't do that, I respect people like you."

"As long as I do it, there will always be people who care about my actions."

"Well, if you want to get help from Roger and the others, besides the surgery fruit, pure gold can also be used. You have to find it yourself. It is said that the pure gold is in the mouth of the lantern fish. But if you find the pure gold, you have to give me a small piece. Just a small piece is enough. Or simply the clue of the big lantern fish will also be fine. I only need a small piece, and the rest is up to you."

The Operation Fruit isn't the only way to survive; pure gold can also freeze time for its holder. I imagine the heroes of Roger's pirate group would definitely do something for Dragon to save their captain's life.

Even if they don't want to, Roger himself would probably be willing to live a little longer.

Moreover, the giant lantern fish swimming in the sea is not easy to find, so Lu Chen told the news to someone who might be able to get it.

"Do you still want to live endlessly? I will help you keep an eye out for clues to the pure gold. However, I won't go out of my way to look for it. Compared to this illusory legend, I am more eager to find my own power."

"Just let me know when you have any news. I'll probably be staying on Beehive Island for a long time."

Long drank all the wine that Lu Chen handed him, and then declared loudly: "I will go to save those who are suffering from injustice. Those cruel kings and nobles will leave their positions because of my appearance."

At this moment, Long's previous dejection was gone, and he was full of vigor, like the King of Chu who declared himself a replacement. He had learned some lost history, realizing that the high-ranking Celestial Dragons were merely the victors of the previous war, and that the navy's supposed righteousness was a lie used to deceive the common people. Lu Chen picked up another bottle of wine from the table, tossed it to him, and said, "Then I hope I can hear your name on the sea." After a moment's thought, he took out the Mimicry Fruit and handed it to Long.

"This fruit should be able to help you. It can transform into the appearance of a person it touches. Having a companion like this will definitely help your career."

People with ideals can always attract help from others, and Lu Chen is willing to help such people.

The dragon took the fruit and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for helping me so much, but if a war breaks out in the future, I may not necessarily stand on your side. I may stand on the side of justice."

Lu Chen smiled and said to Long, "I have no interest in that throne, so do whatever you want. Who knows what will happen in the future."

At this moment, Long had already considered leaving. He had been here long enough. He also knew that he would not find the justice he sought in Lu Chen's place. However, he had gained a lot from this trip.

Although he still didn't know what to do, he was no longer confused. The future was not far away.

But before leaving, he expressed his best wishes: "Goodbye, I hope you are still alive before the war comes in the future."

In the future there will definitely be a war to completely overthrow the Celestial Dragons.

Now he had to establish good relations with the royal family of Fishman Island. Since the other two war weapons had already been taken away, he had to fight for the remaining one.

Lu Chen also wished him well, saying, "I hope you can put your ideas into practice."

"Of course, I will try every possible means to overthrow the rule of the world's aristocracy. I can sacrifice everything for this." After saying these words, Long placed the bottle of wine on the table.

"I will drink this cup when I have achieved my own justice."

"I'll keep this bottle of wine. I hope to drink it with you in the future."

"Goodbye."

Lu Chen sent Long to the door of the house.

A strong wind came, blowing the dragon's cloak and his own cape.

Watching the dragon leave, he left. He was just letting it stir up trouble on the sea. He was clearly trying to overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule. He was trying to attract the World Government's attention.

And I will continue to fight in the chaos, looking for opportunities to obtain the domineering aura.

The pirate who had been getting along well with Long during this period looked at his departing figure and said, "Boss, isn't he willing to join us? His dream will surely be realized under your command."

"He's finding his own path, and I think everyone can be Joey Boy."
