Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

He didn't think Reiner would cooperate with them, and even if he did, Kidd would never accept it.

"Of course not. If we cooperate with them, our actions will be meaningless."

Luo responded calmly, leaning against the wall with the knife in his arms.

It was different from the time in Banko, when the Straw Hats hadn't received enough recognition for them to invite the other side to cooperate.

But it's different now.

The purpose of their alliance is to bring down the next emperor of the sea. How could they possibly cooperate with the Straw Hat Pirates, who have become one of the Five Emperors, for such a thing?

If the Straw Hat Pirates and the Beasts Pirates start fighting, it will be a war between the two royal groups.

If they follow one of the sides, it will be meaningless even if they win. No matter how much they do, the outside world will not recognize them.

"If we want to fight, we can only fight together. This time it might turn into a three-way melee."

"At least we know each other, so I'll just go over and make my position clear."

Luo Dao leaned on his shoulder and sighed.

The friendship between them and the Straw Hat Pirates is neither big nor small. Although they have their own interests, they have indeed fought side by side.

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This sentence may not be accurate to describe their relationship.

But there is no doubt that they are all pirates who go to sea for their own dreams and ambitions, and not even the Straw Hat Pirates can stop them.

"A three-way fight? Interesting."

In the corner, two figures were sitting on a wooden box each.

Becky murmured in a deep voice, with a cigar in her mouth and smoke curling around it:

"By uniting our four pirate groups and cooperating with Zou's forces, can we gain an advantage between the two imperial groups?"

"Who knows."

A tall and thin figure at the side spoke as if nothing had happened.

Becky glanced sideways.

"Well, have you made up your mind?"

"Since fate has brought us together here, let me take a peek at what God will do."

As he spoke, several strips of straw appeared on the tall and thin figure.

Hawkins lowered his head, shuffled the cards in his hands frantically, and then took out the tarot cards one by one and placed them at the end of the straw.

After a moment, he raised his hand and began to flip the cards while talking to himself.

"The probability of losing the battle and dying is 49%"

"The probability of losing the battle but escaping alive is 27%"

"The probability of surviving to the end and winning the final victory is 24%"

"Survival rate 51%"

The words fell.

Hawkins slowly raised his head, his face was pale and his eyes were calm and without any ripples:

"Okay, I'll follow."

“24%?”

With half of his face hidden in the shadow, Kidd raised the corner of his mouth coldly.

He doesn't care about anything else, life or death doesn't matter, his only goal is to win the final victory.

10% is worth a try, 24%

That is a God-given opportunity!!

Another place.

Several figures avoided the pursuit on the street and shuttled through the alleys.

"I wonder why you are still carrying so much food. It would be too inconvenient to escape."

Looking at the mountain of food in front of Luffy, Usopp couldn't help but complain.

"Hahaha, it's okay."

Luffy grinned, couldn't help biting a piece of meat in front of him, and said vaguely:

"Uncle Tengu probably hasn't eaten yet, so I'll just bring some back for him."

"How can he eat so much? I think you just want to eat it."

Franky complained casually, turned around to see two figures, one big and one small, following him, and shouted in confusion:

"I was wondering why you guys followed me."

"Because I'm afraid that Kurozumi Orochi will come back to life. He will definitely not let me go then, and..."

Xiao Zi squinted her eyes and smiled slightly, saying shyly:

"Murakami has promised to serve Master Gintoki, so please protect her well."

"Nani!!" ×N

"What's going on! Who's there?!"

Several people suddenly screamed, which attracted the attention of those outside and they quickly covered their mouths.

"What did you do to Xiao Zi?!"

Sanji gritted his teeth to curb his anger, grabbed Reiner's collar as he ran, pressed his forehead against his head and stared fiercely into his eyes.

"What do you mean by serving you asshole! Explain it to me clearly!"

"Let it go idiot."

Reiner pushed Sanji's face away and turned back to say:

"Xiao Zi, explain to him how a geisha should serve a man."

"Well, if you want to serve a man, of course."

"——Ah! I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen!"

“That makes me so accepting!”

Sanji looked miserable and covered his ears with his hands.

"Oh my God! I'd rather stay on the Shemale Island for another two years than this bastard would never have any offspring!"

"——Hiss! What a vicious curse."

Chopper's face turned pale and he gasped.

"Come to think of it, when I first saw you I was just a little surprised, but now the more I look at you, the more I think you look alike."

Franky stroked his chin and said to Xiao Zi, his eyes seemed to be thinking about something. After recalling for a moment, he tentatively asked:

"This is the hometown of Oden, right? Are you related to a woman named Kozuki Toki?"

"??!!"

Xiao Zi was stunned.

Reiner frowned and was even more confused than her.

No, what kind of relationship do you two have?!

Chapter 340: One Piece? I know him.

"About 26 years ago, the year I was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Tom, Roger and his group arrived at the Seven Waters City."

The dark shadows of the houses on both sides quickly receded. Reiner and his group shuttled through the alleys, and the chaotic footsteps were particularly noticeable in the silent night.

Seeing Xiao Zi's stunned look, Franky felt sure that his guess was probably correct. Since the other party did not admit it, he took the initiative to tell her about his experience.

The group listened as they ran.

Reiner also remembered that the fishman who invented the sea train built a ship for Roger, but he was not clear about the connection between the events. He did not expect that Franky had already met Oden.

"Roger and his crew, like you, rode the Rising Tide to reach Sky Island. Their boat was severely damaged upon landing, so Tom's Studio commissioned them to build a new one."

"Back then, Tom's studio was based in a warehouse under a bridge, and shipbuilding was done in an abandoned shipyard. I had just been abandoned by my parents, and I spent my days picking up scraps and making cannons in the abandoned shipyard. When Oden saw me, he came over to say hello."

While recalling, Franky explained how he knew Oden, and what he said next was even more shocking.

"That guy is a bit of a freak. The first thing he said to me when he met me was that I was an orphan, and the second thing he said was to invite me on board their ship."

Franky smiled and said, "Well, you've never seen such a weird guy before."

"Eh!!!"

"They invited Franky on board!!"

Everyone's eyes widened in shock.

"Oh, I refused."

Franky nodded nonchalantly.

"You actually refused!!"

Lu exclaimed in disbelief, with an expression of disappointment, and shouted:

"Hey Franky! You almost became a member of One Piece!!"

"That's it!"

"Hey! How could I have known that Roger would become the Pirate King? Besides, I had just been abandoned by my pirate parents back then, so I was super upset with pirates!"

Franky loudly retorted to everyone, then continued:

"At that time, there was no Carrera Shipbuilding Company in the Seven Waters City, and they didn't have the same treatment as the Merry, where the shipyard foremen were dispatched en masse, so Roger and his crew stayed there for quite a while."

"By the way, Oden's personality is surprisingly compatible with mine, so I got to know him a bit. It was only when I got closer that I realized you look almost exactly like his wife, Kozuki Toki."

Franky turned his head and looked at Xiao Zi, thinking and said:
