Chapter 364 Winning Over and Dividing: Undercover Agent Kizaru

"This, uh, that!" In the plaza, besides the pirates and marines who participated in the battle, there was another group of people who were in a daze at the moment.

They are the pirate supernovas brought by Luffy.

Wasn't he just here to join in the fun and save Ace? How did it turn into a life-or-death battle with the Marine Headquarters?

Moreover, there are no pirates anymore, only rebels?

What about our dream of becoming the Pirate King?

"Luffy!" Ning Yuan patted Luffy on the shoulder: "What are you daydreaming about!"

"Huh?" Luffy was taken aback and looked up at the sky, where Ning Yuan was sitting and emitting healing light waves.

Why is there another one below?

"That's an illusion, just so everyone can see me. In reality, I don't need to fly in the sky or emit light waves to heal!" Ning Yuan laughed.

Divine power can emit light, or it can be formless and intangible. It can be transmitted along a circuit, or it can appear instantly inside another person's body.

It's just that doing it this way is more intuitive.

When deities preach, they use elaborate and extravagant methods, like golden lotuses springing from the ground; it's all the same principle.

"Oh!" Luffy nodded, then his body went limp, and he was about to kowtow again.

"What are you doing!" Ning Yuan immediately pulled Luffy up, but only received a stretched-out arm in return.

"Thank you, Ningyuan, for saving Ace!" Luffy cried.

"No need for thanks, Ace himself has already expressed his gratitude!" Ning Yuan laughed. "With me here, Ace will be safe. So what are your plans now: join the fight, or leave?"

Luffy fell silent.

He was a bit confused right now. What was going on? He didn't understand what pirates or rebels were talking about.

However, there was one thing he knew.

Ace was his brother. Ning Yuan saved Ace and married Nami, so he was one of their own.

Then I'll definitely help my own people!

"I'll help you fight the Marines!" Luffy nodded immediately.

"Alright!" Ning Yuan laughed, pointing at Akainu who was now facing off against Ace again: "You and Ace work together to take down Akainu!"

"Huh?" Luffy was immediately dumbfounded. "Us?"

Akainu just completely overwhelmed them by taking on two opponents at once!

But wasn't Ace just getting beaten up? How come he's now fighting Akainu on equal terms?

"Your brother spent over a month in jail, barely eating anything, so he was listless and weak. Of course, he couldn't beat Akainu. I've restored him to his peak condition, so he can hold on now, but he still can't defeat Akainu. That's where you come in!" Ning Yuan laughed, "How about it, you're not scared, are you?"

"I'm not afraid!" Luffy wiped his nose, then squatted down, and white steam immediately appeared on his skin.

Second gear!

Ning Yuan patted Luffy again to give him some energy: "Go for it, Luffy!"

"Whoosh!" Luffy charged straight at Akainu.

"You're ruining him!" The old man Rayleigh leaned closer. "Luffy doesn't know Haki right now, he doesn't have any Armament Haki or Observation Haki at all, he can't even hit Akainu!"

"You'll learn after taking a couple of hits from Akainu's Haki!" Ning Yuan laughed.

Let Akainu experience the power of sit-ups!

"So, what are you doing here?" Ning Yuan asked again. "Now that you're retired, we don't need you here anymore. You can go back to Chambord. By the way, hurry up and settle things with Peony. You can have a baby or something. If you delay a few more years, you won't be able to have any!"

Rayleigh blushed, but didn't move. Instead, he asked softly, "Could I have a turn of that with Whitebeard too?"

"You also want to regain your youth?" Ning Yuan asked with a smile.

"Mmm-hmm!" Rayleigh nodded. "Who wouldn't want that!"

Who would want to die if they could regain their youth?

Even Roger, who was willing to die, only came to terms with it after consulting numerous doctors and confirming that there was no cure.

Moreover, Kizaru is clearly his junior, yet now he can fight him whenever he wants and leave whenever he wants. This feeling is hard for the former Dark King to accept.

"But my abilities are only for the rebel army!" Ning Yuan said calmly, "and only the truly capable rebel army!"

"I can be a rebel too!" Rayleigh thought for a moment, then added, "I can also gather the members of the Roger Yuhi Pirates to participate in this!"

Rayleigh didn't really care about the rebels or anything like that, but if he couldn't participate in an action like overthrowing the World Government, he would truly regret it for the rest of his life.

"Alright!" Ning Yuan patted Rayleigh on the shoulder. "Let's join the battle. Go and bring Aokiji down!"

Rayleigh felt the power surge in an instant, his body fully restored to a youthful state, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes behind his glasses.

Only those who have grown old know how precious youth is!

Even if it's just to regain my youth, I'm determined to win over this Aokiji!

"Ding!" Kizaru went to capture Ning Yuan, so naturally no one was paying attention to Law's side.

Ning Yuan pointed a finger and cut the shackles on Luo's body.

Luo rubbed his wrists, which were a little sore from being handcuffed, and then looked at Ning Yuan with a wary expression.

"I understand why you hate me after Doflamingo killed Corazon!" Ning Yuan nodded. "But I hope you can see clearly who your real enemy is."

"The lead poisoning in your homeland is caused by the world government!"

"The subsequent series of tragedies were also caused by your platinum lead poisoning!"

If Law hadn't gotten sick, Corazon wouldn't have thought of finding the Op-Op Fruit for Law, and his undercover identity wouldn't have been exposed. Later, Doflamingo became a Shichibukai, which cleared his name, so Corazon would have had even less reason to do bad things.

Ning Yuan wasn't intentionally trying to whitewash Doflamingo, but a person's subordinates can't all be good people like Dragon. There always needs to be people who do the dirty work and hard work, and Doflamingo is just right.

Luo's wariness lessened considerably, not because he believed Ning Yuan's words.

He will still seek revenge on Doflamingo, but he will no longer hate Ning Yuan because of Doflamingo.

After all, someone of Ning Yuan's strength and level shouldn't need any explanations, but he still spoke up.

What does this mean?

This means that his statement about equality for all is not just empty talk; he genuinely believes in it.

Even if he can't be friends with such a person because of Doflamingo, he doesn't want to be enemies with such a person.

"Since everything is alright here, I won't linger any longer!" Luo took two steps back, then went to the edge of the bay and jumped in.

He doesn't oppose Ning Yuan, but he won't help fight against the World Government either. His pirate crew is just a small pirate crew and can't withstand such a big storm.

With Luffy joining the battle, Law leaving, and Urouge dying, the only remaining Supernovas on the field are the Kid and Killer brothers, Hawkins, and X Drake.

Ning Yuan first looked at Hawkins.

"I want to leave!" Hawkins said in a deep voice.

Without divination, and even without needing divination, it was clear that he couldn't leave without Ning Yuan's order.

"No way!" Ning Yuan shook his head.

"I don't want to join the rebels!" Hawkins shook his head. "Besides, hasn't Law already left?"

"You're different from him!" Ning Yuan laughed. "You're a talented individual, a rare strategist. Our rebel army desperately needs someone like you!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the Whitebeard Pirates behind him: "Look at this Whitebeard Pirates, they're all brutes, not a single one of them has a brain. After this battle, I'll reorganize the Whitebeard Pirates into the New World Military District, with Whitebeard as the commander. Once you join, you'll be the chief of staff, second only to Whitebeard!"

Hawkins was taken aback, then immediately knelt down on one knee.

Being called a talented person is nothing to be surprised about, but if it's said by someone who can ignite a great era of resistance, then it carries a different weight.

Not to mention that he was later made a chief of staff.

He didn't know what a chief of staff was, but wasn't the second-in-command under Whitebeard the first mate?

A pirate with a bounty of only 3 million suddenly becomes the first mate—he could never have dreamed of such a good thing!

A scholar will die for one who understands him. Although there is no such saying in the world, the principle is the same!

"Thank you for your high regard, Chief Advisor. From this day forward, my Hawkins Pirates will be your loyal army!"

Ning Yuan nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Go report to Whitebeard's side!"

Although Whitebeard had recovered from his injuries, he did not participate in the battle because he was no longer short of fighting power; instead, he watched from the sidelines.

At his peak, Whitebeard's strength was outrageous; every move he made could truly destroy Marineford.

Hawkins nodded emphatically, then jogged off towards the white-bearded man.

Kidd and Killer watched this scene with envy. Although everyone's dream was to become the Pirate King, they were also aware of their own limitations. At least at their age and with their strength, they were still a long way from becoming the Pirate King.

But before becoming the Pirate King, it wouldn't be bad to become the vice-captain of one of the Four Emperors!

Ning Yuan then turned his head and looked at X. Drake.

"I'm willing to join the rebels!" Drake knelt down even faster than Hawkins!

"Are you here as an undercover agent?" Ning Yuan asked with a smile.

Drake's face stiffened. How did you know?

"But it doesn't matter. You're a navy officer with a sense of justice, only the navy's justice is lip service, a false justice. Our rebel army's justice, on the other hand, is true justice!" Ning Yuan laughed. "You should also join Whitebeard's ranks. Start as Hawkins' bodyguard. The longer you stay in the rebel family, the more loyal you'll become!"

Drake remained silent. Was he really that confident?

Seeing Ning Yuan wave his hand, he could only turn around and chase after Hawkins.

In the end, only Kira and Kidd remained on the field.

Kira Kidd was ecstatic. What did leaving them behind mean? It meant he was the most valued!

Come to think of it, those two are the strongest, and their Devil Fruit abilities are also very powerful. Even someone like Hawkins can be the first mate. We may not be smart, but we have strength!

Being a squad leader shouldn't be a problem!

Ning Yuan asked curiously, "I heard you're brothers? Blood brothers?"

"No, we grew up in the same place, but even though we're not blood-related, we're closer than blood-related!" Kidd quickly said.

Ning Yuan nodded, then asked, "We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we do ask to die on the same day, month, and year?"

"Yes, yes!" Kidd nodded emphatically. "That's right, that's exactly it. You truly deserve to be the Chief Advisor; your writing is excellent!"

Ning Yuan smiled and asked, "You guys are quite capable; you could be regimental commanders in the Whitebeard Military Region. Would you be willing?"

"What kind of position is the captain?" Kidd asked curiously.

"He's just a captain in a large fleet!" Ning Yuan said, "He commands 1500 to 3000 soldiers!"

"Yes, yes!" Kidd nodded immediately. He didn't even have 50 members right now. Wouldn't this be equivalent to his power increasing 30 times in an instant?

Besides, he's a captain, while Drake is just a bodyguard!

"While I can directly appoint you as captains, the soldiers under your command may not necessarily be obedient!" Ning Yuan added, then pointed to the battlefield: "So you should try your best to demonstrate your talents in this battle, so that you can undoubtedly assume the position of captain!"

"No problem, it's just a fight, we brothers are the best at it!" Kidd excitedly led Kira off to the battlefield.

Ning Yuan watched their retreating figures, then whispered, "Kizaru, kill two people for me!"

Kizaru, who was still racing against Hancock, was taken aback when he recognized Ning Yuan's voice.

He turned to look at Ning Yuan, only to find that Ning Yuan was looking at him and nodding!

It really is him talking to me. What kind of ability is this?

Isn't he a user of the Healing Fruit?

After thinking for a moment, Kizaru asked, "Who should we kill?"

He was speaking to thin air; he didn't know if Ning Yuan could hear him.

As it turned out, Ning Yuan heard it.

"Kidd and Kira, brothers!" Ning Yuan said calmly.

"Why?" Kizaru asked, "Didn't you already subdue those two?"

"But these two are ruthless murderers and arsonists; bringing them in would only tarnish the reputation of our righteous army!" Ning Yuan laughed. "The righteous army's strength is still somewhat weak, and I don't have the energy to carry out a purge, so I can only ask you to do it for me!"

Kizaru was speechless: "I'm a Marine, why should I do this for you?"

"Akainu, Aokiji, and Sengoku might all die in this battle. As the only surviving member of the Navy, you'll be the Fleet Admiral from now on. You'll definitely be taking on many anti-bandit missions. I'll provide you with intelligence; you'll achieve merit in anti-bandit operations, and I'll clean up the ranks. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

Kizaru was speechless. "I have no desire to be a Marine Admiral. It's too tiring!"

but.

He glanced at the battlefield below, where Ace and Luffy were besieging Akainu, with Marco providing support from the sidelines.

On the other side, Rayleigh, now back to his peak, was dominating Aokiji, while several members of the Whitebeard Pirates were watching him closely.

Akainu and the Whitebeard members have a deep-seated hatred for each other, so he probably won't survive. Aokiji, on the other hand, might be captured alive.

As for the Warring States period, although it was once very powerful, it was, after all, an old man in his seventies, and its energy and fighting strength were no longer what they used to be.

He might also die here.

Maybe, possibly, perhaps, I really am going to become a Fleet Admiral?

"I will give you the identity of an undercover agent for the rebel army. If the rebel army fails, you will be credited for suppressing them, and you will have no worries about food and drink and your power will be guaranteed. If the rebel army wins, you will also have great merit as an undercover agent for the rebel army!"

"How about it, think about it?"

Kizaru was speechless. As expected of the Navy's chief advisor who could instigate an uprising of tens of thousands of people on the spot, how could he be so eloquent? He's making this old man's heart itch with envy.

Of course, he also knew that Ning Yuan had no good intentions. If you dare to trade with the rebel army, it's like handing over your weaknesses to them.

Kizaru doesn't know what's going on with the rebels, but he does know about the World Government!

If someone sends the evidence to the World Government, how can he, as the Fleet Admiral, possibly survive?

It's obvious that there's never been a neutral option; he only has two choices.

Either join the rebel army or die here.

"Undercover agent" is just a compromise.

So, do the rebels have the ability to kill me?

Kizaru glanced at Hancock in front of him. Without a doubt, she did!

This Hancock who can teleport is incredibly troublesome; even light-speed attacks can't touch her.

On the contrary, I might die if I get hit by it.

He wasn't dead yet, it was just that Hancock wasn't familiar with his abilities, but as the battle continued, her threat was growing, and if the fight continued, he might really die here.

"Sigh, how did the world become like this!" Kizaru sighed. He was supposed to be happily executing Ace today, but how did it turn out like this!

"I don't want to be your undercover agent, but the Kid and Killer brothers are indeed guilty of heinous crimes, so leave them to me!" Kizaru muttered.

As he spoke, he transformed into light and arrived directly in the center of the battlefield.

Having received Ning Yuan's instructions, Hancock did not pursue him, but instead teleported to Ning Yuan's side.

"Ning Yuan!" Hancock asked cautiously, "My performance was quite good, wasn't it?"

"Not just good, it's absolutely fantastic!" Ning Yuan said, taking Hancock's little hand in his.

She's supposed to be the Pirate Empress, so why does she act so humble in front of her lover?

If you had even a tenth of the confidence of a fairy from a past life, forget it, you're better off not learning it. You're fine as you are.

Sometimes he felt like he was being pathetic, that it wasn't right for a woman to be devoted to him wholeheartedly, and that he always preferred women who were independent and self-reliant.

Fortunately, he has realized the problem and is slowly correcting it.
