13: Chapter 13 Borrowing Manpower from the Revolutionary ArmyUpon hearing Gan Fall's words, Kizaru replied, "I believe you, I believe you completely.This is my nephew, why wouldn't I believe him?And I called you over because I wanted to talk to you about something.Stand there and don't move, I need to deal with the disobedient people here first."
After speaking, Kizaru looked at the Shandians.Wherever Kizaru's gaze fell, the Shandian warriors all lowered their heads, not daring to move.Seeing their behavior, Kizaru was very satisfied and said to Luffy:
"The people here should be quite obedient now.Next, we just need to get the leaders out and discuss some details.But I'm not very good with words, so I'll leave this to you.I trust you can do it, Luffy.I'm going to make a call from the back and will be back in a bit."
Before Wang Lufei could even speak, he flew directly behind the Golden Mountain and started making a call using a Den Den Mushi.
Kizaru's decision to entrust the negotiation to Luffy was a well-thought-out one.He had already subdued some people with force, but there were still unsettling factors involved.Therefore, by using Luffy's status as a child, he hoped that those people would seize some hope and jump out on their own during the negotiation, so that they could be eliminated once and for all.
Over here, Wang Luffy watched Kizaru's departing figure, swallowing the words that were on the tip of his tongue.What could he do with such an unreliable uncle?He could only do it himself.
So Wang Lufei landed on the ground and said to the Shandians, "Call out your chief.I need to discuss some details about the ownership of this place with him and the 'god' over there."
However, the Shandians, seeing that the yellow-skinned monkey had already gone far away, leaving only a small child behind, couldn't help but feel a bit contemptuous.So, just as Wang Lufei finished speaking, Webber limped out again, bowed his head, and said to Wang Lufei, "Our chief has something to do and can't come.Just talk to me if you have something to say."
After Webber finished speaking, the two Shandian passersby, A and B, chimed in:
"That's right, kid.If you need anything, just talk to Captain Webber.We all listen to him here."
Little did they know that these three had been clearly seen by Kizaru's Observation Haki and were now on his kill list.Of course, Kizaru's hands weren't idle either; he was fiddling with an unfamiliar Den Den Mushi, seemingly having not made a call in a long time, hence the slow pace.
The Den Den Mushi finally connected, but no one spoke on the other end, seemingly waiting for Kizaru to speak.So Kizaru said, "Moshi moshi, is that Dragon?Why aren't you saying anything?The Den Den Mushi is broken again, this is really annoying."
Upon hearing Kizaru's words, the person on the other end finally spoke: "Monkey, you're as forgetful as ever.You have to speak first after the Den Den Mushi is dialed for the sound to be transmitted, didn't you forget?Also, what happened?Why are you calling me now?"
Kizaru, still sporting a lewd expression, said, "That's a scary tone, Dragon.I called you just to borrow some people; I've run into some trouble."
There was a moment of silence on the other end before someone said, "What exactly happened that you need to borrow men from us?Don't you have enough men in your navy?"
Kizaru replied somewhat helplessly, "There are many people in the Navy who are not trustworthy.A large-scale troop movement will definitely attract the attention of the World Government.If things get out of hand, it will be difficult to handle.So I want to borrow Lightning and use his abilities to do some things."
After thinking for a moment, the person on the other end said, "Tell us what happened.This Den Den Mushi is designed to prevent eavesdropping.The CP organization can't hear our conversation."
Without further hesitation, Kizaru stated directly, "Your son and I discovered the Golden City on Skypiea.In terms of currency, it represents 20% of the world's wealth.If the Navy had this funding, it might have the opportunity to declare independence from the World Government.To a large extent, we would have a powerful ally when overthrowing the World Government."
However, collecting and transporting them is a troublesome matter, so it requires the help of some special Devil Fruit users.The Lightning-Lightning Cut-Cut Fruit is very good at collecting them.
Regarding transportation, I heard that the patriarch of the Capone family, a mafia family in the West Blue, recently collected the City-Nut Fruit, intending to give it to his son Capone Becky as a coming-of-age gift.This also requires your help; I hope you can seize the fruit to ensure its safekeeping.
After hearing these words, the dragon on the other end remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Monkey, I believe what you're saying is true, but it's still a bit hard to believe.The Navy becoming our ally is unimaginable.You know, I left the Navy to form the Revolutionary Army because I couldn't see any hope for change within it.Now you're telling me that the Navy will break away from the World Government; I need some time to process this."
Kizaru comforted him, "Don't worry, Dragon.Even if the Navy makes changes, it won't be now.We're just in the preparation stage.Right now, we only have such a large amount of money, but the Navy's mindset also needs time to change.Fleet Admiral Sengoku is working hard on it."
A complete transformation of the navy is only likely to occur around 15 years later when a new generation of naval personnel begins to demonstrate their capabilities.The immediate priority now is simply the extraction and transportation of this gold.
The dragon on the other end didn't hesitate any longer.He ordered his men to call Lightning over, and at the same time said to Kizaru, "Monkey, I've already started mobilizing the man.Find an opportunity to go to the New World and pick him up.Also, I'll have someone bring over the Castle Nuts as soon as possible.If there's anything else you need help with, just let me know, and I'll try my best to help you.Finally, I wish you all the best.This call is over."
After finishing speaking, Dragon hung up the Den Den Mushi.Looking at the arriving Lightning, he said, "Lightning, you and Ivanko."The plan to liberate the city of Impel Down will be postponed for now; there is something more important for you to do.
Our undercover Navy officer, codenamed "Monkey," needs your Devil Fruit ability to assist him.Prepare yourself and head to the entrance to the New World; he will come to pick you up.
"Understood, Chief.I'll go prepare right away." Lightning bowed to Dragon and withdrew.
Kizaru carefully placed the Den Den Mushi, which he had already hung up, inside his coat lining.He then used his Observation Haki to fly into the sky, preparing to unleash a massacre on those who were not behaving properly.
