One Piece: From the God Valley Era

"When did this happen?" Acnoya sat up straight and asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Du Feld said, "It was Vegapunk who was contacted after you."

"As you know, they are the World Government, and it's the Five Elders who are directly involved. I have no way to refuse, nor do I dare to refuse."

"Furthermore, the Five Elders made many promises to Vegapunk, including unlimited funding and protection of his personal safety."

"In addition, they will try their best to meet any requests that Vegapunk can make."

"Even if it means becoming a Celestial Dragon!"

Becoming a Celestial Dragon is a tactic used by the World Government to recruit powerful individuals.

Although many people dislike the Celestial Dragons, what they actually hate is not being one of them.

If the World Government were to actually extend an invitation, many powerful individuals would be willing to become Celestial Dragons and serve as their lackeys.

However, Acunoa had no interest in that.

As for Vegapunk, that's hard to say.

Because he also has desires, and in the future he will separate his seven emotions and six desires to create clones.

One of his clones wanted to become a Celestial Dragon and even betrayed the other Vegapunks, which led to the destruction of Warhead Island.

Vegapunk's original body died.

Although the other clones are also Vegapunk, there are still differences between the clones and the real Vegapunk.

"Become a Celestial Dragon?" Acnoya sneered. "The same old tricks again. The Five Elders have nothing new to offer."

Upon hearing this, Du Feld was somewhat taken aback and did not respond.

Although he dares to speak ill of the World Government and the Five Elders behind their backs, it's only when he's alone. He would never say such things if anyone were around.

Because if it's not leaked out by accident, then you'll be doomed.

To reiterate, although he may seem powerful, he is still like a shrimp in front of these truly important figures.

In the future, Doflamingo will become an underground tycoon and the world's largest arms dealer.

But just hearing Kaido's name made him tremble with fear and break out in a cold sweat.

This shows that underground giants are nothing compared to these truly powerful figures.

And Du Feld heard another meaning in Acunoa's words.

That is, it seems that the Five Elders also extended an invitation to Acnoya to become a Celestial Dragon.

If you can't beat the other side, should you try to get them to join you?

As expected of the World Government, they are truly insidious.

But then again, why wasn't I the one invited?

Du Feld felt a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

If the Five Elders invited him to become a Celestial Dragon, he would be willing to expand his business all over the world.

Unfortunately, he didn't have that ability.

The title of "King of Loans" is just for fun; it's useful for scaring ordinary people. But when facing the great pirates of the New World, protection money still has to be paid.

This is why he spoke to Acnologia as a mouthpiece and discussed the matter with Vegapunk.

There was no other reason; he simply wanted to befriend Acnoya and leave himself a way out.

Who knows when his ship might capsize.

If things really go wrong, he can go to Acnoya; at least he'll have somewhere to hide.

Surely Mr. Acnoya wouldn't refuse to help with something as small as this.

Moreover, he is also useful; he is good at accounting and doing business.

These are very popular in the New World.

Some pirates can't even count, let alone do accounting or business.

Therefore, he is also a talented person!

"Besides Vegapunk, what's the situation with Queen and Caesar?" Acnoya asked.

Upon hearing this, Du Field quickly said, "Apart from Vegapunk, Quinn and Caesar were not received by the Five Elders; they were not among those invited."

The Five Elders took a liking to Vegapunk, but not to Queen or Caesar.

This is normal, though. They are far inferior to Vegapunk, so one Vegapunk is enough, comparable to a thousand troops.

As for Quinn and the others, they did not deserve an invitation.

After all, there are researchers in the World Government, but not as many as Vegapunk. However, there are quite a few who can be compared to Queen and Caesar.

Therefore, they didn't receive an invitation at all.

"I see." Acnoya stroked his chin. "Where are their ships now? Are they still in the Western Sea?"

Upon hearing this, Du Feld felt a sense of foreboding and tentatively asked, "Mr. Acnoya, what are you planning to do?"

I hope it's not one of the things I'm thinking.

"Since kind words can't sway Vegapunk, I'll have no choice but to resort to pirate tactics."

"Just go and rob them. You shouldn't have any objections, Du Feld, right? And you won't tell the Five Elders, will you?" Acnoya issued a death threat.

Because I am powerful, I can do whatever I want.

The mere underworld giants were nothing in his eyes.

"No, of course not!"

Du Feld shuddered and immediately responded.

Faced with the threat of death, he had no choice but to back down.

As for the world government?

I'm not familiar with you guys, so let's not contact each other again.

After all, the World Government sometimes has some sense of face and certain rules, but Acnoya, this pirate, doesn't have that kind of thinking.

After all, he had just seized Wano Country and become its king.

"That's good. Let's continue with the previous question: Are they still in the Western Sea?"

MADS was sailing in the Western Sea.

"Yes, I'll send you their location right now, but please don't tell anyone else, please don't!" Du Feld pleaded.

Upon hearing this, Acnoya said, "I'm not the kind of person who would kick someone after they've served their purpose."

"I've remembered your favor. If you ever encounter any problems in the future, feel free to contact me."

"Well then, thank you, Mr. Acnoya."

Du Feld paused for a moment, then quickly responded.

This is a favor from Acnoya, how could he possibly refuse? To refuse would be foolish, and not only would it be a refusal, but it would also offend the other party.

Du Feld, who is adept at navigating social situations, would never do something so foolish.

"Okay, tell me the address, I'll set off now," Acnoya said.

"Yes, Mr. Acnoya, I will send you the latest coordinates immediately."

"Um."

Acunoa hung up the phone and then dialed Gloria's number.

"I need to go out for a bit and keep an eye on things inside."

"Huh, going out? So suddenly?"

"The world government is causing trouble; I'm going to teach them a lesson!"

"Anyone who tries to steal my business is asking for trouble!"

"I see. Go ahead, I'll take care of things at home!"
