Chapter 26 You Can Only Rely on Yourself

"Enelu, I have something to tell you when I go to the World Government."

Lex straightened his expression and looked at the little Enel who was only as tall as his thigh.

Letting a 7-year-old kid go undercover is indeed something that can be done in the world of pirates.

However, precisely because Eneel is only 7 years old, the World Government will make every effort to train him and entrust him with important tasks!

"Please tell me, Mr. Lex. I will keep it in mind!"

"You don't have to keep it in mind, because there is only one thing you need to do in the next few years - treat yourself as a real government member. It's best to forget everything about me and remember your 'identity': an orphan whose hometown was slaughtered by pirates. Your biggest dream is to take revenge on all pirates, and you will stop at nothing to achieve it. Do you understand?" Lex stared into Enel's eyes and explained word by word.

"...I remember that, but..." Enelu replied, paused, and continued, "But how can I get in touch with Mr. Lex?"

"There is no need to contact me for now. Once your observation Haki reaches a certain level, you will naturally know how to contact me. Before that, even if you contact me, you won't be able to help me."

Rex replied calmly. As a man whose Observation Haki was on par with his master, Red Earl, in this ocean, he could be said to represent the highest level of Observation Haki in the current ocean!

He knew clearly that if the Observation Haki was practiced to the extreme and had a certain tacit understanding, the 'Bluetooth Mode (direct mind communication)' would be awakened (refer to Jesus Bu and Usopp, father and son)!

By then they will be able to contact each other naturally. At least, the Red Earl and Lex will be able to communicate via Bluetooth without any obstacles, but there is no need for this on weekdays.

Naturally, Lex had very high expectations for Enel. Besides, Lex's own Observation Haki was not difficult to improve and would also be improved. Lex had a vague feeling that once he broke through that bottleneck, he might be able to connect with anyone via 'Bluetooth' without requiring the other party to have equally high Observation Haki attainments or tacit understanding.

"I understand, Mr. Lex, I will definitely practice Observation Haki seriously according to the method taught by Mr. Red Earl!" Enel understood the meaning of Lex's words - he was still too weak, and there was no need for him to contact him.

This is a deviation from Enel's life pursuit. He is determined to become the strength of this man!

"If I have important information to inform you, someone from within the government will contact you at that time, understand?"

Lex's meaning was clear.

"I understand!" Enel instantly realized that he was not the only hidden chess piece, but might be the most important one in the future.

"My plan is to have you join CP and let the government train you as the 'Strongest Shield' from a young age. Of course, Enelu, if you want to join the navy, that's fine too. I can do some behind-the-scenes work and arrange you into the navy, where you may have more freedom." Lex finally asked Enelu about his own wishes.

"I've heard from Mr. Red Earl that Mr. Lex needs me to go to the organization called CP more. I will choose the place where Mr. Lex needs me more!"

"...Hahahaha, Enelu, isn't the infinite land your dream?"

Lex suddenly asked back. Even though the Enel in front of him was only a 7-year-old child, Lex still treated him with the most formal attitude, respected his every choice, and took care of his own dreams.

In this respect, he even surpassed Don Quixote Doflamingo of later generations.

"...........Yeah hahahahaha, Mr. Lex, aren't you asking even though you already know the answer? One day, I will get there with my own strength!" Little Enel laughed, with a gleam in his eyes.

"I'm looking forward to that day, so try your best to survive in the World Government!"

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Uncle Rhine will come over and tell you about the rest. Figni will use the Memory Fruit to fill your mind with a fake memory, and then you can smoothly enter the government."

Lex paused, then continued.

"Although you will still have my spy by your side, you won't know who she is, and she won't provide you with any help. She will only guarantee your life at the most critical moment. Of course, that also means your hiding has failed. So, when you truly step into the World Government, the only person you can rely on and trust is yourself, Enelu."

Lex did not hide any inside information from Enel. Since he chose Enel, he trusted him 7%, even though he was only years old.

Enelu was silent for a while, then spoke softly, his voice was very light and didn't seem so firm.

"If saving me will affect Mr. Lex's plans, please give up on me."

The Golden Lion, who had remained silent throughout the whole process, looked at Enelu in surprise. However, the Red Earl already had a general understanding of Enelu's character, so he was not very surprised.

"I will."

Lex's voice rang out in the house, but his figure had disappeared, as did the Golden Lion and the Red Earl.

....................

On the east coast of Fenghuai Qianli, Lex took out the gold he had taken from Shandora.

The amount of gold was so huge that it was piled up into a mountain of gold, reflecting dazzling light in the sun.

"Hahahahaha, with so much gold, that money-grubber John will probably go crazy if he sees it." While the Golden Lion was happy, he did not forget to severely belittle his old comrade-in-arms who was on the same boat with him.

"Speaking of Captain John, I feel like he will end his pirate career soon. Then we can incorporate his territory into the Feikong Sea, uncle."

Lex had a God's perspective and naturally understood the course of history.

"Really? If there's a chance I'll let Gut do it."

Golden Lion didn't care much about that guy John, or rather, he looked down on him completely.

"Well, then Uncle will personally take this batch of gold to the New World. I will go see Uncle Rhine first, and then I will return to the New World to deal with the underground world. By the way, Uncle, it's better not to make any big moves recently, and it's better to slow down the expansion of territory to create a more stable environment for the entire New World."

"Hmm? What's your plan, kid?"

"It's not a plan. It's just that Zhiyuan will be entering the new world to carry out a mission soon, and I want her to have some fun." Lex smiled.

"Hahahaha, no problem, no problem. It's better to let Zhiyuan come to Feikong Sea Area to carry out the mission. I'll arrange for my idiots to give her military merits." Hearing that it was his niece-in-law who would carry out the mission, the Golden Lion became excited.

"Hahaha, that's not good. It's better to let Mary Joa and the others see my attitude. I am still relatively neutral. Isn't this one of the reasons why we arranged for Gion to join the navy?"

"Well, that's true. The blood of the Celestial Dragons is sometimes very convenient and sometimes very troublesome." Golden Lion sighed. He knew this when Lex was born 20 years ago.

"That's why we took great pains to plan the ten-year strategy, deploy in Qinghai, and play games with them again and again."

"No more talking, I'm leaving first."

As soon as the golden lion touched the gold with both hands, the entire golden mountain rose from the ground, forming a golden lion with a mighty look. The golden lion stood on the lion's head and flew far away towards the calm belt. Passing through here, you can directly reach the new world!

Watching the golden lion gradually go away, Lex came back to his senses.

"Master, have you been busy lately?" Lex asked the Red Earl who had been standing next to him.

"No." The Red Earl was as frugal with his words as usual.

"Then come with me to the new world. I want to take action against the underground world. It will be much more convenient if Master is here."

"I don't want to go." The Red Earl refused without explaining why.

But Lex obviously guessed it.

"Is the winter of Fenghua Qianli coming soon?"

"Correct."

"Hahahaha, Master still likes to drink and practice swordplay on a winter day amidst the thousands of maple and locust trees as always."

"Hmm." The Red Earl remained noncommittal.
