Chapter 22 Clo joins
Chloe didn't answer right away.
As a pirate with a high IQ and who has been on the sea for many years, Clo appears to be a little cautious.
"But, as a pirate with a bounty of 200 million, you should be able to find stronger partners, right?"
"Of course the stronger the partner, the better, but the best partner is the right one, isn't it?" Lot looked at Clo with a slight smile on his lips.
"My name is Clobator. The former pirate Clo is dead. Now I just want to be an honest butler." Clo pushed his glasses with his signature gesture.
"Others may not know what you want to do, but do you think you can hide it from me?" Lotte looked at Clo with some joking.
Hearing this, Clo's heart sank. He naturally believed that his methods were unlikely to be discovered by others.
But the man in front of him told him his entire life story, and he was not sure whether Lotte really knew his plan.
"As 'Bai Ji', is this all you want? Our goal is the whole world."
Hearing Lotte's words, Kroger was extremely shocked! Their goal was actually the world!
"Kro, I am confident that I can be the strongest in this world. But my dream is far away and I can't achieve it alone."
"I need Zoro's swordsmanship, Ling'er's cooking skills, and you need strategies and so on."
Lotte paused and continued, "My goal is not to gain this world and become a high-ranking Celestial Dragon. My goal is to change this world that is filled with a filthy atmosphere from top to bottom."
"And your talent and intelligence shouldn't be wasted in a place like this! So come and help me? Come and help me change this world!"
Cloe was shocked. Such words actually came from the mouth of a pirate with a bounty of 200 million.
After a long while, Kuro stretched out his hand and shook it tightly with Loto, "I'll leave it to you from now on, Captain Loto. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Kuro, the former captain of the Black Cat Pirates."
Lot smiled, "Welcome! I'm Lot, this is the swordsman on the ship, Roronoa Zoro, and this beautiful lady is the ship's cook, Imera Linger."
[Ding. Congratulations to the host, the progress of the partner search mission +1, and the rewards: 1 indestructible weather stick, 1 advanced observation Haki, and 2000 Senzu beans. ]
'Merge all the cards!'

Lot nodded. If he fought against Kizaru again now, he believed that even if Kizaru knew his abilities, he would be able to fight to a draw.
Zoro and Ling'er both looked at Clo with smiles on their faces. They did not ask why Lot invited Clo to be a partner. They knew that Lot must have his reasons for doing so.
They also believed in their captain.
"Captain, when are we leaving again?"
"That depends on when you can leave."
"I still have some things to deal with here, which may take a few days."
Cloe thought about it and decided to hand over the duties of the butler completely. Many details needed to be handed over, and the Black Cat Pirates hiding in the dark were waiting for him.
"Okay! We'll wait for you. By the way, I'm going to Kaya's place now, do you want to come with me?" Lot stood up and looked at Clo.
Since Usopp is the partner of his apprentice Luffy, and Kaya is Usopp's designated wife, he has to do something for her.
ah~
After a long while, Clo sighed. After what Lotte said just now, he was relieved. His mentality also changed.
Their horizons have also changed, and naturally they will not be limited to the little property of a wealthy family in a village.
But he knew that he would have to explain everything to the eldest lady and face it.
What's more, Kaya is frail and sickly. I don't know if Kaya can hold on after knowing the truth.
As a 'hundred plans', Cloe was able to take everything into account in his plan, except for the eldest lady, Keya, whom he really had no way to deal with.
Lotte, who has read the comics, knows that Clo has deep feelings for Kaya.
Now that he has to be honest, it's normal that Clo doesn't know how to face Kaya.
Lotte patted Clo's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Kaya is not as fragile as you think. She has a very strong psychological endurance."
Clo nodded helplessly and walked towards the mountaintop villa with the three of them.
......
"What? Krabatel, cough cough cough. Is what you just said true? Cough cough cough." Ke Ya looked at the housekeeper in front of her with some disbelief, who always thought of her and protected her.
She couldn't believe what Cloe had just said, nor did she believe that all of this was just a deliberate disguise in order to get their family's property.
"It's true, Miss Kaya. I do all this for your family's property." Clo lowered his head, not daring to face the beautiful and gentle young lady in front of him.
Meili also looked a little angry, "Krabatel, are you doing this to the deceased master?"
Cloe felt a little guilty, so he didn't look up or say anything.
Usopp stood quietly aside.
Lotte looked at the awkward scene and cleared his throat. "I know this is your family affair. As an outsider and a pirate, some of my words may not be right. But to be fair, Clo has not done anything to let you down in this year. On the contrary, he has done commendable things."
Lotte looked up at Keya and continued, "Although his purpose is not simple.
But as a steward, he still did his duty. And he could have just killed you, right? "
Kaya looked up at Lot. From the first moment she saw Lot, she knew that Lot was different from ordinary pirates.
His whole body exudes a casual and gentle aura, and he doesn't look like a pirate at all.
And she also knew that Krabatel was not a bad person.
In fact, I am very grateful to him in my heart, because after my father passed away half a year ago, Krabatel took care of me like a father.
"Ms. Kaya, now I am going to go out to sea with Lotte and do my job again." Clo raised his head and looked at Kaya tenderly.
Clo has treated Kaya like his own daughter over the past year, and he was still a little reluctant to part with her.
He didn't know if Ke Ya would eat well without his care, if there would be no one to boil medicine, if...
"Krabatel, are you...are you really going to leave?" Ke Ya was still a little reluctant after all.
"Ms. Keya, I'm leaving in two days. As for the housekeeper, you should find a reliable one instead of someone like me who has impure intentions."
In the next two days, Clo wholeheartedly handed over all the details that Kaya needed to pay attention to to Mary.
In the next two days, he disbanded the Black Cat Pirates, which had little cohesion to begin with.
