The Otherworld War Madman Projection of Ten Thousand Worlds

Things like the training notes of a kendo master, the fur-tribe slaves from the New World, and a large piece of seastone made it difficult for Li Zhong to get too interested.

Until the last two devil fruits appeared, Li Zhong only bought three items in total.

One was a slave of the Fur Tribe. Li Zhong was a little curious about the Fur Tribe’s cultivation methods and planned to take a look.

It just so happened that I was about to go to the New World, so I gave him a ride on the way.

The other is a travelogue written by a deceased member of the Rocks Pirates, which records the interesting isolated islands and secret places he had visited.

The pirates and adventurers who came to the auction showed little interest in it.

As for adventure, it is more interesting to explore the unknown by yourself. Buying guides is not an adventure at all.

But Li Zhong is not an adventurer, he just wants to know if there is anything he can use there.

The last item was a rather special Den Den Mushi. Li Zhong bought it because he was curious about its physiological structure.

Li Zhong thought that he might be able to find some inspiration about synthesizing the bloodline factors of the fantasy beast species from it.

Chapter 385 Farewell Five Elders

Den Den Mushi are a peculiar kind of life in this world. They are the main means of communication in this world with disordered magnetic fields. They can connect with each other through a magical connection.

Moreover, they are not a single category, but have more complex branches.

It can not only make calls, but also fax, broadcast live remotely, take photos and record videos after installing special components.

Some Den Den Mushi can eavesdrop on other Den Den Mushi's conversations or prevent them from being eavesdropped on.

The people in this world may have become accustomed to it, so they don't care, but Li Zhong thinks that this thing is almost like some kind of "fantasy beast"!

So this time Li Zhong bought a special Den Den Mushi that can make video calls, wanting to study this creature carefully.

Li Zhong didn't spend much money to buy these three items. The impact of the massacre in the Sabaody Archipelago a week ago was still there, and no one was willing to go against Li Zhong for a slave and two useless things.

There was dead silence after Li Zhong made his bid.

He bought the lots at nearly the starting price, spending only one twentieth of the money he brought.

But then things were different.

The devil fruit is a symbol of power. Even Li Zhong's deterrent power cannot stop other people's ambitions.

"2 million Baileys." Li Zhong raised the sign.

But it doesn’t matter even if someone bids higher. As long as he can get the fruit, Li Zhong doesn’t care how much Baileys he spends.

When your strength and skills reach a certain level, money is really just a number.

Compared with this credit currency that has no real value, they pay more attention to real means of production, market share, technological blockade, and precious materials that have no market and are worthless.

"Two hundred and thirty million Baileys!" The person bidding against Li Zhong still had some hope.

"3 million." Li Zhong raised the sign again with a calm expression.

This time the opponent was completely defeated.

It's not that the other party doesn't have enough money. He is a famous wealthy businessman in Xihai. Relying on the fact that he is a "law-abiding citizen", he dares to compete with Li Zhong in bidding, but that doesn't mean he likes to be a sucker.

The normal price of an animal-type fruit is around 100 to 200 million, and 300 million is already a premium.

If I bid a higher price but Li Zhong doesn't intend to continue bidding, then I will be in big trouble.

At this point, the two devil fruits at the auction also fell into Li Zhong's hands.

One is the 'Animal-type·Cat-Cat Fruit·Tiger Form', and the other is the 'Animal-type·Bug-Bug Fruit·Beetle Form'.

Although animal-type ability users are of little use to Li Zhong, the devil fruit is still very useful.

There are many uses for common experiments in studying devil fruits.

After obtaining the Devil Fruit, he left the Sabaody Archipelago under the tense gaze of everyone who dared not even breathe.

But he did not coat his boat.

There was no problem for him to take the route to Fishman Island, even if he swam directly to Fishman Island which was below 10000 meters.

But the marines on his ship cannot do that. Once they are besieged by a large number of large sea kings, there will still be many risks for them.

In addition, Li Zhong also had to talk to the Five Elders about the matters concerning the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so after leaving the Sabaody Archipelago, he turned a corner and headed towards the holy land of Marijoa again.

The Sabaody Archipelago is not far from the Navy Headquarters, and the Holy Land of Marijoa is right next to the Navy Headquarters.

Li Zhong set out from the Sabaody Archipelago at dawn, and when he arrived at the holy land of Marijoa, the sun had not yet set.

As the most powerful group of people in the world, the Celestial Dragons have countless people eager to serve them.

The Land of the Gods, which was previously devastated by Fisher's fire, has been completely restored to its original state within a month, without any trace of smoke or fire.

After taking a look over there, Li Zhong said nothing.

Instead, under the respectful guidance of the holy land guards, he walked straight towards Pangu City where the Five Elders worked.

As the world's open rulers, the Five Elders are very busy. There are many things in the entire ocean that ultimately require them to make the final decision.

If they were real rulers, they could use some methods to delegate some of the work and make themselves less busy.

But alas, they are not.

The five elders, whose real identities are just middle-level management, can only conscientiously complete all the work in their hands to the best of their ability.

The responsibilities of the Five Elders are finance, environment, agriculture, law, and science.

Saint Marcus Maz, who is in charge of the environment, and Saint Sheppard ten Peter, who is in charge of agricultural affairs, often leave the holy land of Marijoa because of their duties.

Under normal circumstances, there are only three of the Five Elder Stars stationed in the Holy Land, namely the God of Finance, the God of Law, and the God of Science and Defense.

When Li Zhong entered Pangu City, he only saw these three people.

In fact, generally speaking, even if there are matters that require the decision of the Five Elders, usually one of the Five Elders is enough to coordinate.

But Li Zhong was indeed a special person, so after they received the news that Li Zhong had arrived at the holy land of Mary Joa, they put down their work and came to this meeting room.

After meeting them, Li Zhong did not beat around the bush and directly told them what he wanted to do.

The first thing was very simple, that is, the Black Sail Wind Chime was going to the New World via Mary Geoise. There was nothing much to say, and the God of Science and Defense, Satan, nodded and agreed.

The second thing is about the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

This time, Li Zhong not only said that he would nominate Bartholomew Kuma as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but also mentioned several other candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

They are Flame Flower, the current queen of Amazon Lily, the Nine Snake Island Pirate Nation, who once joined the Rocks Pirates.

Hawk-Eye Djorakol Mihawk is believed by a group of kendo masters to be able to defeat the world's greatest swordsman in the next few years.

And Red-Haired Shanks, who was once a trainee crew member on the ship of Pirate King Gol D. Roger and is now traveling on the Grand Line.

Plus Fisher before.

If Li Zhong can convince all the candidates to join.

So... Crocodile, Gekko Moriah, Hawkeye Mihawk, Tyrant Bear, Nine Snakes Flame Flower, Fishman Fisher, Red Hair Shanks.

The number of Seven Warlords of the Sea has been fully gathered!

When they heard the candidates proposed by Li Zhong, the expressions of several of the Five Elders became uncertain.

How should I put it? The people he chose...

There was nothing wrong with Hawkeye Mihawk, and they were willing to accept it.

Nine Snake Island gritted their teeth and accepted it.

But Bartholomew Kuma and Red-Haired Shanks are really...

hiss!

Chapter 386 The Five Elders' Smooth Sailing

As one who holds the highest power in the world, he naturally also holds the most intelligence in the world.

The Five Elders were fully aware of all the candidates provided by Li Zhong.

They knew all about the messy affairs between Hawkeye Mihawk and the Navy.

They also knew that the Nine Snakes Flame Flower was once a member of the Rocks Pirates, information that Li Zhong was still unaware of.

Not only that, they also knew that after leaving the Rocks Pirates and returning to Nine Snake Island, Flamingo was actually not welcome, and it was only because of tradition that she could continue to be the queen.

He could tolerate these two candidates.

But Bartholomew the Bear...

This person is a veteran cadre of the revolutionary army!

The world government’s biggest enemy!

Saint Satan had seen Bartholomew the Bear when he was a child in the Valley of Gods. If it weren't for the sudden fire that freed the slaves in the holy land of Marijoa, he would have planned to give him a "big gift"!

Now you're telling me you want him to join the Shichibukai?!

"It's just the Revolutionary Army, that's all in the past. He is my subordinate now and only obeys my orders." Li Zhong made no secret of his intention to sow discord among the Seven Warlords.

In Li Zhong's opinion, there is no need to hide some things that everyone knows.

Li Zhong's smiling response was met with a glare from Satan Sheng.

He had a deep memory of the brat who scolded him, and he didn't want to let Kuma become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After thinking for a while, Saint Satan said: "...Then let him take 1000 heads of the Revolutionary Army as a token of his joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Because of Li Zhong's special nature, Satan Sheng did not want to confront Li Zhong head-on. He adopted a roundabout strategy and put forward a condition that Bartholomew Big Bear would never agree to.

Even if he really did as Li Zhong said and switched from the revolutionary army to Li Zhong's army, he would never be willing to do such a cruel thing to his former colleagues.

It is difficult to change one's nature. The moment Saint Satan looked into the eyes of the big bear, he understood what kind of person he was.

He is a person whose mind is full of freedom and liberation, who wants to make people all over the world laugh. He is the real enemy of the world government!

Li Zhong also possesses the ability to know the other person's true nature when meeting him/her.

He knew that Big Bear would never do that.

The smile on Li Zhong's face faded and he became a little serious.

"Saint Satan, it's a bit meaningless for you to talk like this."

"Then what do you mean? Don't tell me you don't know what the Revolutionary Army is. Are you colluding with them?"

The two men's gazes met in mid-air, and the pressure generated by the collision of momentum caused the clouds above the holy land of Mary Joa to begin to distort!

Objects in the room were shaking, and black lightning began to bloom in the center of their gazes.

“…Okay, stop it.” In the end, it was the God of Finance and War, Izambaron V. Nasujuro, who stepped out to smooth things over.

Having never met Bartholomew Kuma, he did not have any extra opinions about him and just regarded him as an ordinary cadre of the revolutionary army.

If these two reckless guys continue to clash for such a person, it would be bad if they disturb the adult in Huajian.

Izambaron V. Nasushoulangsheng walked between the two men, interrupting their eye contact, turned his head and glared at Satansheng from an angle that Li Zhong could not see, signaling him with his eyes not to forget where this place was, and then spoke.

"You know what kind of person Li Zhong is. He is not on the same side as the revolutionary army. Don't get so excited."

After saying "Saint Satan", he turned and looked at Li Zhong.

"Does he have to be the only one to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Can't we change someone else? There are so many pirates on the sea, there must be a suitable one." It's just a position of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Five Elders don't want to fall out with Li Zhong for this reason.

In fact, he was not as opposed to letting Bartholomew Kuma join the Seven Warlords of the Sea as Satan Saint.

But looking at Satan Sheng's current attitude, if this person is dragged into the team of Seven Warlords of the Sea, there may be other conflicts between him and Li Zhong in the future.

So what this financial god means is that it is better to change someone.

Being interrupted by the God of Finance, Li Zhong's expression turned calm again and he said, "I need him to cooperate with me to do something. He is a pirate now, so it is a bit inconvenient."

Li Zhong's answer was very straightforward. Either you promise to let Bartholomew Kuma become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, or cancel all his bounties and restore his normal status.

Revoking a person's pirate identity is not a difficult task for the Five Elder Stars; they can do it just by asking.

If the reason why Big Bear became a pirate was just to do small things like slaughtering islands, burning, killing, raping, and killing navy soldiers, they would just nod and do it.

But the thing is, Bartholomew Kuma didn't become a pirate for these reasons!

The reason why he was wanted as a pirate was because he expelled the king and nobles of a member country of the World Government and made himself king!

It is one of the worst crimes on the sea!

If usurping the throne of a member country of the World Government can be completely pardoned, then this bad precedent has been set and the whole world may be in chaos!
