Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 94 The Vicious Babu

At the same time, in a dense forest on the island, Wright and his group were staring at Babu with grim expressions.

Next to the other side was the huge corpse of an unknown beast and several injured crew members who were lying on the ground and wailing.

Apparently, several people misjudged the beast's strength and paid the price for it.

"What are you doing here?"

Light asked unkindly as he looked up at Babu, who was sitting on the beast's body.

"Well, well, don't be so nervous. I saved your friend."

"If I hadn't intervened in time, those guys would have become someone else's breakfast."

Babu said with a grin as he patted the beast beneath him.

"First Officer Wright, yes, I'm sorry. We..."

The injured pirates wanted to say something, but Light interrupted them: "No need to apologize, I'm glad you're all right."

After comforting the injured crew, he turned back to Babu:

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Haha~"

"It's convenient to deal with smart people like you~"

Seeing this, Babu didn't keep the question secret and said directly, "'Golden City - Shandora', you know where it is, right?"

When hearing the word "Shandora", not only Wright, but everyone present had their pupils shrink!
"'Shandora'? Isn't that a story from the Liar's picture book? I didn't expect someone like you to read picture books."

Wright continued to speak calmly.

"Tsk~ I just praised you for being smart~"

"I've been so open and honest with you, and you still want to hide it? That's really too much~"

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

"The ship's log, the ancient text, the 'Golden City', the fratricide... I heard everything you conspired that day~"

Babu pointed to his ears, and the mockery in his eyes became even more intense.

Hearing this, everyone understood that the truth had been revealed. Wright gave up trying to laugh it off and placed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Seeing this, the other pirates around also tightened their weapons, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Wright asked coldly.

"Oh~ You're asking such a stupid question? I'm obviously here to kill you~"

Babu still had his arms crossed over his chest, as if he was completely unaware of the murderous intent from the other side.

"Stop joking. If you wanted to kill us, you would have done it a long time ago. Why wait until now?"

"Tell me what your purpose is. Do you want the coordinates of the 'Golden Country' or something else? Let's draw a line."

"Haha! It's really convenient to talk to smart people."

Babu laughed loudly, then turned over and jumped down.

"I'll be frank. I also want to kill that guy John. Let's work together."

When these words were spoken, everyone except Wright was stunned.

An impulsive pirate stepped forward and shouted:

"Are you kidding us? You and John are clearly in cahoots, and now you're talking about killing him!"

But Babu didn't bother to pay attention to the pirate. He just stared at Light, waiting for him to speak.

"..."

"reason."

"It's simple. John wanted to kill me, so I had to kill him first to protect myself."

This time, Babu did not use his usual joking tone, but answered Wright in a cold tone.

Yes, he had vaguely sensed that John was going to attack him.

After all, he was a cadre who had followed John for many years, so Bob naturally knew exactly what kind of person his captain was.

Once they cross the Red Earth Continent and reach the first half of the Grand Line, John will definitely take action against him.

The man would never allow someone to live who coveted his treasure and knew his whereabouts.

……

But in fact, he still underestimated his captain. John had no intention of letting him live that long and wanted to kill him here.

[If I had known earlier, I would have waited a few more seconds before teleporting.]
Bob regretted this in his heart more than once. In fact, the moment he heard John's "escape plan", he decided to betray John and become the "yellow bird".

After all, that is the "Rocks' Treasure" that all pirates dream of!
Even the most cautious person can become bold and daring under such great temptation.

When the explosive rock exploded, Bob did not teleport away with John immediately. Instead, he used John as a cover and deliberately waited for a few seconds. He only used his ability after seeing that John was indeed injured by the explosion.

[Your ability cannot be used continuously. There must be a certain interval between two teleportations.]

He told John this in person before the plan started so as not to arouse suspicion.

As for how long a period of time actually is, only he himself knows.

However, things went against his wishes. He underestimated John's strength. After escaping, he found that the other party's injuries were not as serious as he had imagined.

On the contrary, he was too excited at the time and exposed his desire for the treasure. Based on his understanding of John, the other party would definitely not let him go.

Originally, if Bob had joined forces with Fall at that time, he would still have a chance, but he didn't expect John to act before him.

Such decisiveness and ruthlessness made him feel that the other party was worthy of being a great pirate who had roamed the New World for many years, and at the same time, he became increasingly uneasy and anxious.

Now Babu can be said to be ready to move forward.

If he fails to launch a successful assassination while John's old injury has not yet healed, he will have no chance of survival once the other party fully recovers.

"And it's not just me. Once you get to Paradise, you'll be useless. He'll get rid of you too."

"You are not so naive as to think that he will let you go."

Seeing the pirates on the opposite side had different expressions, Babu continued to put pressure on them.

"This is your last and only chance. Cooperate with me and we'll strike first."

"..."

"You guys don't want the murderer who killed Forle to escape, do you?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene froze.

Then everyone looked at Wright, who remained silent.

"Wright"

"Brother Wright"

First Mate

……

Listening to his companions' cries, Wright's expression became more and more struggling.

On the contrary, the smile on Babu's face grew deeper and deeper, because he knew that his goal had been achieved.

"Whoo~"

After this suffocating silence, Wright finally spoke.

"What's your plan?"

"Snapped!"

Babu clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"It's very simple. Just make some minor changes to your original plan."

"Use the news about the 'Golden Country' to distract John, and then suddenly attack him from the front."

"And I teleported behind him and dealt him a fatal blow."

A simple yet extremely vicious plan.

Wright reacted almost immediately.

"You want us to be bait for you?!"

"Don't say it so harshly~"

"With your strength, even if you succeed in a sneak attack, you won't be able to hurt John. Why don't you give me this chance to kill him with one strike?"

"Aren't you already prepared to die anyway~"

That's right, this is the most sinister part of Babu's plan. He wants Wright and others to use their lives to create an opportunity for him.

First use the news of the "Golden Country" to attract John, and then let Wright and others launch a suicide assassination.

He was a step slower and waited until John's attention was completely distracted by them for the second time before he took action and delivered the fatal blow.

I have to say, Babu really likes this kind of "the oriole is behind" drama.
