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

"You seem quite pleased?" Ron's voice was flat, his eyes fixed on Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi, with a natural expression, spread his hands and laughed, "Can't I be happy eating my favorite food and drinking my favorite wine? Is... being happy a forbidden thing?"

Wang Zhi was still a little worried. He was afraid that Roger had confessed that he had provided Ron's coordinates, which would cause him some unnecessary trouble.

However, he wasn't too concerned, after all... he had already come up with a way to cover it up, and as long as he vehemently "denied" it, Ron wouldn't be able to produce any evidence.

"It's your business how you want to be happy, but if you don't give me an explanation today, I think we need to have a life-or-death duel," Ron said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi's smile froze for a moment, but the next second, anger surged up.

As a veteran member of the Rocks Pirates, he is a prominent figure in the vast ocean.

You challenged me to my face, saying you wanted to have a "life-or-death duel" with me?

Do you think I have no dignity?

"Hehehe... You bastard, are you threatening me?" Wang Zhi asked with a sneer.

But for a moment he wasn't sure if Ron knew anything.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come here to ask for an explanation.

But that doesn't make sense, it's impossible. I did it perfectly, how could Ron know?

"Where is Annika?" Ron asked expressionlessly.

Putting aside the fact that Annika is now his personal chef, more importantly, she is his bargaining chip in exchanging "Devil Fruits" with Shakky.

If this deal falls through, the loss will be far more than just a meal or two.

In the end, you, Wang Zhi, are trying to double-cross me?

"Annika? Who?" Wang Zhi paused, his brow furrowing slightly as if trying to remember. After a few seconds, he nodded in sudden realization. "Oh, you mean that girl? Idiot, I'm not your subordinate, how could I possibly keep an eye on her for you?"

"Don't waste your breath talking to me. You know perfectly well whether you've done it or not."

"Where's the evidence?" Wang Zhi sneered a few times, crossing his arms. "I admit she is indeed very beautiful, but the women who pursue me, Wang Zhi, could stretch from the New World to the first half of the Grand Line."

Ron was slightly taken aback.

The women who are pursuing you could stretch from the New World to the first half of the Grand Line?

Who do you think you are? Li Ruolan?

You have absolutely no shame?

"Evidence? Heh..." Ron chuckled. "You're asking a pirate for evidence to prove something?"

"Damn it, don't push your luck!" Wang Zhi cursed angrily. He originally thought that Ron had some substantial knowledge, but now it seemed that this guy was just acting on his gut feeling.

"I've already given you a chance, Wang Zhi." Ron slowly placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

Ron originally wanted to choose the safest way to get Annika back, but things didn't go as planned. It turned out that she didn't want to solve the problem properly, and he also knew a little about fighting.

-------------------------------------

At the same time, on the road leading to the auxiliary ship.

Whitebeard and Kaido walked side by side, one carrying a naginata and the other a spiked club, their steps neither hurried nor slow.

"Hey, Kaido." Whitebeard analyzed his earlier conversation with Ron and, seeing Ron's anxious expression, asked Kaido beside him with a puzzled look, "That girl named Annika... did she run away?"

"Uh..." Kaido was taken aback by the question, scratching his head. "Newgate, we went out together, how would I know? But, it's unlikely she ran away, if she wanted to, she would have already done so."

"Hmm." The white-bearded man nodded, walked a few steps in silence, then suddenly asked, "Is Ron interested in Annika?"

"what?"

Kaido's CPU started working like crazy. He stroked his chin with one hand, staring straight ahead, but his mind was churning with all sorts of strange images. "Flirting with? What does that mean? Like men and women? Hmm...that's probably what it means."

Has Ron taken a liking to her? Hmm... what would happen if he did? Kissing? Or hugging and cuddling? It seems like that's not going to happen. Ron's attitude towards Annika has always been fierce, and he doesn't hold back at all when he calls her stupid...

Whitebeard frowned even more as he watched Kaido's pensive expression.

"Never mind," the white-bearded man waved his hand, "I forgot I asked. How could a brat like you understand?"

"Huh?" Kaido immediately retorted, "Don't underestimate me, Newgate! I know everything!"

The white-bearded man clicked his tongue and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. "What do you know, you who's always fighting and killing?"

"Thump!"

Suddenly, a loud explosion came from afar, followed by a faint tremor in the ground beneath our feet.

Whitebeard and Kaido stopped in their tracks and quickly looked around.

There was nothing unusual; the explosion sound came from a great distance.

"Could it be that Roger took advantage of Ron being alone and got his hands on something again?" Kaido guessed, then burst into a curse, "Damn it, Roger was a real bastard!"

The white-bearded man remained silent. How long had it been? And they were fighting again? Besides, Ron hadn't done anything wrong. Had he lost his mind? Why was he relentlessly pursuing Ron?

Meanwhile, on Ron's side...

Thick smoke and dust filled the surroundings, turning the view gray and white.

"Shh, shh, shh,"

In the ruins, a collapsed wall suddenly cracked open from the inside, and then a head poked out from inside, looked around, and beads of sweat slowly appeared on its forehead.

madman!

Ron is an absolute madman.

All his attacks were not aimed at forcing him to admit to kidnapping Annika, but at killing him.

Tap tap tap.....

A series of footsteps sounded through the dust.

In the hazy vision, a golden figure slowly appeared.

"You bastard..." Ron began slowly, "you're really cunning."

Wang Zhi has always been patient, concealing his strength and ambition. He made everyone think he posed no threat and made everyone ignore him.

So that in certain special circumstances, one can turn the tables and kill the opponent in one fell swoop.

In the battle just now, Ron was almost ambushed.

Also.

As a veteran member of the Rocks Pirates, how could he be weak?

All the previous concessions were simply because they didn't affect his interests.

"Ron, you madman!" Wang Zhi roared, "If it really comes down to a fight to the death, you might not come out on top!"
