One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

In the town, on the eaves.

Wang Zhi enjoyed the cool breeze, took a bite of his pizza, held a small wine flask in his other hand, took sips from time to time, squinted at the dissipating smoke in the distance, and had a carefree smile on his face.

"Hehehe..." Wang Zhi chuckled a few times, sticking out his slender tongue to lick the sauce from the corner of his mouth. "The commotion has subsided? Is the show over? Honestly, if that's the case, that guy is far too weak."

After saying that, he shook the wine jug, listened to the sounds inside, and took another swig.

Wang Zhi wasn't afraid of any unexpected events, because he had already firmly grasped the "condition" that could cause such an "accident".

Ron wants to "prove himself"? As long as the "condition" is in his own hands, he will never be able to prove himself.

Even if Whitebeard, Kaido, and Stussy were willing to testify, Roger wouldn't listen without "evidence."

"Brubru~~"

"Brubru~~"

Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi in Wang Zhi's arms rang.

Wang Zhi paused slightly, stuffed the remaining small piece of pizza into his mouth, chewed it slowly, then wiped his hands on his clothes before leisurely taking out a Den Den Mushi and answering the call.

"Hey, you bastard, I've been waiting for your call for ages!" Wang Zhi cursed angrily.

The other person wasn't going to let him get away with it and immediately retorted, "You bastard, don't you know why it's been taking so long? You... why didn't you tell me about Ron's information before?"

Wang Zhi sneered a few times: "Who would have thought that guy would possess such strength? Besides... I have no obligation to do so. You messed up; it's just that your navy is incompetent."

"You..." The person on the other end was somewhat exasperated, as if choked, and paused for two seconds before squeezing out a single word.

"Hey," Wang Zhi interrupted, his tone turning serious, "where's my payment?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a deep voice said, "What's the rush? I've already arranged for someone to deliver it to the location you specified."

Wang Zhi smiled with satisfaction. "That's more like it." He paused, then added, "Hey, Sengoku, let's discuss another deal."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, then Sengoku's voice rang out again, asking cautiously, "What kind of deal?"

"I have a woman here named Annika. She was a slave you were escorting, but she is the target that the Kuja Pirates are trying to rescue."

"Hmm?" Sengoku pondered for a few seconds, his voice devoid of emotion. "What do I need her for?"

"Hehehe... Don't try to use the 'useless' excuse to reduce your payment." Wang Zhi saw through the other party's trick at a glance, his tone laced with mockery. "You know better than I what role she can play. I believe that someone as smart as you will definitely make this deal with me."

There was a long silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Wang Zhi thought the other person had hung up, so he looked down at the Den Den Mushi, whose face was no longer mimicking Sengoku's expression. "What? Or are you really not interested?"

After a long silence, Sengoku's voice finally drifted over: "How do you intend to complete this deal?"

"It's simple." Wang Zhi's tone became lighter. "Give me the payment first. When I leave this island, I'll tell you where she's being held."

"What if you're trying to scam me?"

"Hehehe..." Wang Zhi laughed. "We're not doing a one-off deal. I believe we'll be cooperating more and more often because, no matter when or where, I can provide you with whatever Lockes wants to do."

After a moment's hesitation, Zhan Guo finally uttered a single word: "Okay."

The next second, he added, his voice turning cold: "However, Wang Zhi, let me make this clear beforehand. If you dare to plot against us, I guarantee that Lockes will know you're a traitor the moment you step in."

Wang Zhi's smile remained unchanged as he continued, "Don't worry... I have no reason to do such a thing."

He's right. Fighting those monsters and demons from the Rocks Pirates is nowhere near as profitable as cooperating with the Navy.

Rocks offered the risk, while the Navy offered real money; he understood this better than anyone else.

"Okay. Don't contact us unless it's absolutely necessary. Don't expose yourself by being around Rocks," Sengoku reminded him.

He still values ​​Wang Zhi as a pawn; if used well, the navy can avoid many unnecessary losses.

"How could this be???"

Wang Zhi was suddenly startled, his voice rising considerably. His gaze was fixed on the street not too far ahead, where a golden figure was moving rapidly, weaving through the crowd.

"What? How could that be?" Sengoku asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I'll hang up now."

Wang Zhi quickly hung up the Den Den Mushi and hurriedly stuffed it back into his arms.

That shouldn't be the case.

That bastard Roger...didn't he lay a hand on him?

Wang Zhi instinctively shrank back, hiding behind a chimney, afraid of being discovered by Ron.

"Tsk!!" Wang Zhi scoffed disdainfully. "I overestimated you, Roger. I even risked my life to deliver the message to you... and this is how you repay me?"

Just as Wang Zhi was cursing inwardly, Ron on the street suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Wang Zhi's breath hitched for a moment, and the instant Ron turned around, he immediately hid himself.

Ron didn't see anyone, but his [Malice Perception] clearly sensed an extremely strong malice in that direction.

"Who? Roger?" Ron muttered, his brow furrowing slightly, then he dismissed the thought, "No... Roger didn't leave this way."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Wang Zhi had already climbed down from the eaves, trying his best to make his expression look natural.

Unfortunately, he didn't get more than a few steps.

"Whoosh!!!"

A golden figure descended from the sky and landed in front of him.

Wang Zhi was taken aback at first, and paused in his steps.

But soon, a smile appeared on his face.

"I wondered who it was?" Wang Zhi shook the wine gourd in his hand and said in a relaxed tone, "Oh, it's you, Ron."
