Chapter 37
The journey back from Carnival City was not smooth.
The extreme climate was secondary. What was frustrating was that the Pegasus accidentally intervened in the duel between two strong men.
One of them was Wang Zhi.
When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous, but it depends on the situation.
Wang Zhi had bad luck recently. He failed to compete for the King's Treasure, and was then electrotherapyed by Loki, and most of the crew members were killed or injured.
The Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy beat Wang Zhi's men, and Wang Zhi's men were driven away by both parties.
How arrogant he was when he came, how embarrassed he was when he left, that's what he said.
What's worse is that on the way back to the New World, he accidentally ran into Hawkeye Mihawk.
Mihawk hated people flying over his head and shot down Wang Zhi's ship, and the two sides fought.
Mihawk didn't want to take advantage of others' misfortune. He found that Wang Zhi was injured, and he was about to leave after a few moves with him, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't want to let him go.
The appearance of Loki gave Wang Zhi a better person to vent his anger.
At that time, there were too many people on the Pegasus, and for the safety of everyone, he did not confront the old man head-on.
After finally getting rid of Wang Zhi, he attracted the attention of Hawkeye.
Hawkeye had seen Loki's posture when he turned on the holy swordsman mode, and he wanted to fight with him.
Loki did not flinch and readily accepted the invitation to duel.
In terms of swordsmanship alone, Hawkeye Mihawk and Shanks are on par, or even stronger.
If Loki wants to defeat Shanks, Hawkeye is currently the most suitable sparring partner.
He used the sword that transcends time to hit the man and stabbed him in the shoulder with one blow.
As a price, he was cut with a striking wound on his chest.
Afterwards, he used his ability to heal the wound and kindly gave him a few Senzu beans.
The two sides established a preliminary friendship, which can be said to be a case of not knowing each other without fighting. Although Loki is an amateur swordsman, it does not prevent Hawkeye from making friends.
Mihawk knew about the feud between him and Shanks, and in principle would not interfere with the two.
In his opinion, even if Loki had strange abilities, he was no match for Shanks and would lose within five rounds.
For now, that's the case!
Loki was very open-minded about this, and the gap between him and the Four Emperors was not so easy to close.
If you don't work hard for two years, don't even think about catching up.
Not long after saying goodbye to Hawkeye, a phone call made Loki very angry.
The World Government contacted him, hoping that he would release the two CP0s.
You call me, and I have to release them?
Do I still have face?
The World Government took advantage of his absence to secretly make trouble, and he didn't scold them, but he still wanted him to release them?
Don't even think about it!
Loki scolded the Five Elders, and finally both sides made concessions.
In the eyes of the Five Elders, CP0s are just expendable lackeys.
Loki didn't know why they wanted to keep these two CP0s.
Since he has put forward a condition that he cannot refuse, he might as well let them go.
The thing is, the Kingdom of Sindria that Loki will establish will be specially licensed to join the World Government and have the right to participate in the World Conference.
In the first ten years, they do not need to pay the Heavenly Gold.
This will be announced to the public in two months.
In these two months, Loki needs to build the kingdom into a military power as soon as possible.
"You should be thankful that someone above is protecting you, otherwise you will see some very interesting things."
Loki gave the aging Deer Mask CP0 a glass of Water of Life.
After the vitality was replenished, the body of this CP0 recovered quickly.
Loki took out the True Self Ball and tested the two of them, and found that the development level of their Devil Fruits had reached A+.
"No wonder the Five Elders want to protect you. Even in the World Government, there are not many fruit awakeners. Do you think I should abolish you?"
Loki kicked the Tiger Mask CP0 who was pretending to sleep.
If the two are let go, they will become two difficult enemies in the near future.
If I really let them go like this, I would feel upset.
Loki wanted to know how they got on the island.
He had a comprehensive arrangement for Dend Island. Without permission, it would be difficult to fly to the island even if they could fly.
He checked the surveillance footage in front of the two people and soon found the problem.
"So that's how it is."
Loki paused the footage and found that when the two CP0s landed on the island, they wore a special pair of shoes so that they could fly freely in the air.
He knew that it was DOM boots, developed by the genius scientist Vegapunk.
It looked like a thruster installed on the feet.
Vegapunk?
I didn't expect you to come up with such an epoch-making equipment now!
It looks like it's just a test version, and it will be scrapped after one use.
Loki didn't want to let CP0 go obediently, so he called Dorothy and hypnotized the two to see if they could become his pawns.
"It worked, Captain. From now on, as long as you hold this, they will tell you the secrets they have."
Dorothy took out two Q-version dolls and named them TruthDoll.
The doll is a miniature image of the two CP0s, an item stripped from their souls.
As long as you hold the doll, you control the lives of the two people.
Dorothy is good at tricks. If she wants someone to answer, she just needs to grab the doll, and the doll will answer on behalf of the original owner.
After dealing with the two CP0s who were about to be broken, Loki walked to a prison diagonally opposite.
A purple-haired woman was imprisoned in the prison.
The woman had a plump figure and wore a pair of glasses.
After watching Loki torture the two CP0s, she hid in the corner and trembled when she saw someone coming.
"Don't kill me! As long as you spare my life, you can ask me to do anything you want."
The purple-haired woman begged loudly.
Loki opened the cell door and looked at the person but didn't recognize him. "Tell me your identity and origin."
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
The purple-haired woman was a little hesitant at first, but after being frightened by Loki's murderous intent, she had to answer obediently.
After listening to her story, Loki's eyes began to light up.
This person is a talent, his name is Naqin, a member of the remaining World Pirates.
The bounty is 110 million Baileys, he is a ship doctor, and he has a set of self-created Chinese medicine boxing.
A medical talent!
According to Naqin, since Bondi World was imprisoned in Impel Down, the survivors have been living in hiding.
In order to support herself, Naqin worked as a doctor on Magnetic Drum Island in a low profile.
During the reign of Wapol, the doctor elimination operation was implemented, and many excellent doctors including her were expelled.
In order not to expose her identity, Naqin was always very careful, and she did not make a fuss when she left Magnetic Drum Island.
Last year, she got in touch with Graybeard.
Graybeard provided medicinal materials, and she was responsible for making finished medicines. The two sides cooperated happily and made a lot of money.
This time, she came to discuss business with Loki, but unfortunately she met Zuo De who had no patience to listen to others.
Zuo De didn't listen to her nonsense and knocked her down in one encounter.
After hearing that you are a doctor, he spared her life.
After discussing the salary with Naqin, Loki asked the jailer to take her to the medicinal materials processing factory and let her work under Kirito.
He casually flipped through the prisoners' information and found that everyone in the prison was a talent.
He looked at them one by one and found that there were more than 10 people who could be trained.
The last one to meet was the sparring duo.
"You two, my patience is limited. If you refuse to surrender, I will have to kill you."
Loki sat in the chair with his legs crossed and smiled slightly.
