Chapter 114: Zoro: Lucci, Your Opponent is Me!
When Lister and the others hurried back to the fleet's docking site.
Lucci and the others also established contact with the spies tracking Lister's group!
"Where is Nico Robin??" Lucci's voice came from the Den Den Mushi.
"She's with the Money Pirates' Captain Lister, currently preparing to return to the fleet. Their fleet is docked at the wasteland in District 8 East!" The spy reported.
"Understood, continue tracking. If anything unexpected happens, notify me immediately!" Lucci said.
"Aye!!"
After the call ended.
Lucci glanced at Kaku, Blueno, and Kalifa, saying indifferently: "Let's go, we're heading to District 8 East!"
"Okay!"
As soon as the words fell.
Swish swish swish!!
Several afterimages flashed by.
In just a few seconds, they appeared several hundred meters away.
Soon, they disappeared directly from that area.
The Money Pirates' docking site.
At this time, the members of the Fifth Division were engaged in various activities, some drinking and chatting, others playing cards and games.
All sorts of things.
Very happy.
It was very lively on the ship.
At this time.
A sharp-eyed lookout saw Lister and the others returning.
Hurriedly shouted: "Everyone attention, Captain is back!!"
"Captain is back?"
"So soon??"
"What are you afraid of, Captain doesn't eat people, let's continue drinking and playing!!"
As soon as someone finished speaking.
He was slapped directly on the back of the head.
"What are you talking about, Captain coming back at this time, who knows if he encountered trouble. If you continue drinking and playing, wouldn't that be an eyesore to the Captain? Everyone get down there."
"Aye!!"
All the pirates stood up one after another, watching Lister and the others getting closer and closer, shouting in unison:
"Lord Captain! Welcome back!"
Lister glanced at everyone, waved his hand and smiled: "Don't be restrained, go do whatever you need to do!!"
"Aye!!"
Everyone responded.
The serious atmosphere instantly became cheerful again.
Everyone ate what they should eat, drank what they should drink, and played what they should play.
"Put this money back in my room, and bring a sofa out while you're at it!" Lister said to the girls.
"Aye!"
The girls responded, then carried the five billion Berries onto the Money ship.
After putting all the money in Lister's captain's cabin.
They quickly brought out a sofa, a table, and a dozen chairs, placing them on the wasteland.
At the same time, they set up a parasol.
Afterwards, the girls brought out a large amount of tea and snacks from the ship.
Lister sat on the sofa with his arm around Nami.
Robin and Nojiko sat on chairs on either side.
Yulan and Shizuka busied themselves pouring tea and arranging snacks for Lister and the others.
Serving very thoughtfully.
Lister picked up a teacup, took a sip gently, and ate some snacks.
Then leaned back on the sofa.
At this time, Xiao Lian stood behind the sofa where Lister was leaning.
Gently began to massage Lister.
Have to say, Lister knew how to enjoy himself.
The pirates on the ship watched, feeling envious.
"When can I be like Lord Captain..."
"Drink more, fall asleep, you'll have everything in your dreams!!"
"No chance, drink!"
Not long after, Zoro hurried back with Johnny and Yosaku.
"Where is he?" Zoro looked around, didn't see a strong opponent nearby, and immediately walked up to Lister and asked.
"Coming soon! Want to have a cup of tea first??" Lister glanced at Zoro and smiled faintly.
"Just right, I'm a bit thirsty!" Hearing this, Zoro wasn't polite, directly took a cup of tea and drank it.
After finishing.
He walked to a nearby empty chair and sat down.
Started closing his eyes to rest his mind!
Johnny and Yosaku also found two chairs and sat behind Zoro.
The Fifth Division members guarding the fleet watched this scene, couldn't help but discuss among themselves.
"What's going on?? Captain came back, and the Captain of the Guard also came back??"
"I have a premonition, something is definitely going to happen next!"
"Hearing your words is like hearing words!" (Meaningless statement)
"With this kind of formation, it's impossible for nothing to happen!"
"Then what exactly will happen??"
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be three scenarios."
"First, war. But the opponent's numbers shouldn't be many, after all, Captain didn't tell us to prepare. Moreover, the opponent's strength shouldn't be too strong either."
"Second, negotiation."
"Third, negotiation fails, then war!"
"Your speculation makes so much sense, I'm speechless."
"Then who would the opponent be?? Never heard of any powerful local tigers in Water 7!"
"Stop guessing blindly, let's keep watching, we'll know soon!"
"Makes sense!"
About another two minutes passed.
"Here!"
Zoro suddenly opened his eyes, looking in a certain direction.
The next moment.
With a few swish swish sounds.
Four figures appeared in front of Lister and the others.
It was Lucci, Kaku, Blueno, and Kalifa.
"CP organization spies??" Robin, who was originally relaxed, changed her expression slightly.
When Lucci and the others dropped their disguise.
Robin could smell the aura they revealed from far away.
However.
Robin wasn't too worried or scared.
The moment Lister defeated Aokiji, the heavy burden in her heart, the nightmare-like shadow, dissipated.
She was no longer afraid of any Marines or CP spies coming to her door.
Lister was her reliance.
She firmly believed that Lister would absolutely not sit by and watch her being taken away by a group of spies.
"Truly sharp, no wonder the CP organization hasn't caught you for so many years, Devil Child Nico Robin!" Lucci looked at Robin immediately, his gaze instantly locking onto her.
"Being chased for so many years, I'm already familiar with the scent of you people. I can smell it from hundreds of meters away." Robin took a sip of coffee elegantly, then smiled calmly and comfortably.
"Truly elegant. Having reliance now, choosing to give up resistance, preparing to die??" Lucci asked in a cold tone.
"I have places to go, historical sites to see, haven't lived enough yet, how could I choose to die!" Robin smiled faintly.
"So confident in your reliance!" Lucci said coldly.
"You're right, I indeed have reliance." Robin glanced at Lister, then smiled.
"Only afraid your reliance isn't powerful enough to protect you!" Lucci said coldly.
"You can try!" Robin smiled disapprovingly.
Lucci understood.
To take down Nico Robin, he had to eliminate her reliance first!
Therefore.
Lucci turned his gaze to Lister.
"Godspeed Lister?!" Lucci spoke indifferently.
"It's me!"
Lister leaned on the sofa, meeting Lucci's gaze.
"Nico Robin is a key criminal wanted by the World Government. Hand her over to me, I can let the Money Pirates go, otherwise..." Lucci threatened.
Lister was a pirate, no matter how bad, he was the responsibility of the Marines, not CP9. If possible, he didn't want to clash with Lister.
First, no benefits, second, trouble.
"Otherwise what??" Lister picked up a teacup, took a sip, and smiled faintly at Lucci.
"Otherwise, I'll destroy the Money Pirates along the way!" Lucci said coldly.
"Relying on you? Still lacking a bit!" Lister shook his head.
"So, you refuse my proposal?" Lucci asked coldly, his beast-like gaze emitting a terrifying light.
"Refuse? You aren't even qualified to negotiate with me, let alone refuse!" Lister looked at Lucci and suddenly laughed.
"Seeking death!"
Lucci's gaze turned cold, no more nonsense.
With a whoosh.
Used the Marine Rokushiki - Soru directly, rushing towards Lister.
At this time.
Zoro also moved!
Silent Shunpo!
Starting later but arriving first, instantly blocking Lucci's path forward.
Three katana were already drawn.
"Your opponent is me!!" Looking at Lucci who stopped in front of him, Zoro also emitted a beast-like aura, staring dead at Lucci and said.
