One Piece: The World's Strongest in Roger's Era

Chapter 145: The Charm of Chapter Techniques (4 words, part of 2)

"Where will the Prime Minister's office be located?"

The two of them walked forward leisurely while basking in the sunshine of Marijoa.

Lex's steps were light and comfortable. If you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear his footsteps.

On the other hand, Feigaland Garin, who was traveling with him, was carefree, took powerful steps, and looked like a king.

As expected of the first generation red-haired guy!

Lex looked at the office area of ​​Marijoa, which is the center of the World Government.

It is also the office of the current commander-in-chief of the army, old man Fate.

Lex walked right in.

Seeing this, Fegaland Galin followed suit.

I knocked on the textured wooden door.

Bang~bang~bang——

Two light and one heavy, quite melodic.

When General Fate, who was working inside, heard this, he did not use his Observation Haki and did not even raise his head:

"come in."

As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces of the World Government, Fate is almost the pinnacle that ordinary people can achieve!

He is a man of great strength, standing proudly on the top of the ocean. He is an old man who has gone through several eras.

He is the big brother of Cyborg, Sora and others, the right-hand man of the Five Elders, and a government lackey who constantly compromises for the sake of his own justice.

He is an old man who is kind but weak, firm but complicated!

Lex pushed the door open and walked in, followed closely by Galen Saint.

moment--

Fate raised his old face, looked over the piles of documents and cases on his desk, and looked directly at the two people who came in.

"You? What's wrong?"

There was a hint of surprise on Fate's wrinkled face. She didn't expect it to be this man. However, years of experience have made Fate very calm, so she still looked calm.

Lex sat down by himself:

"General Fate, allow me to introduce you to Leon Lex, the current Executive Prime Minister of the World Government."

! ! ! !

what? !

Fate lost his temper and began to hallucinate. He asked incredulously to Feigaland Galinsheng, who had already taken a seat on the other side:

"Jialinsheng, is what this kid said true?"

Jialin put down the teacup in his hand, showed a helpless expression, and then nodded slightly.

At this moment, Fate's Qi training skills, which he had cultivated for decades, directly broke through his defense.

Damn it?

He united all the villains on the sea and attacked Marijoa. In public, he killed the vice-leader of the Knights of God, Mous, and the two former CP presidents, Zero and Shiki. He divided the New World, destroyed countries one after another, and caused the greatest chaos in history, Rex.

This bastard actually became the executive prime minister of the World Government?

The seat that has been vacant for nearly a hundred years?

That position where his words are law, where his position is equal to the Five Elders, and where he is on the same level as the commander-in-chief of the entire army?

Lex didn't want to show off, that was meaningless, so he just said to Fate politely:

"You are a senior, and I hope you can give me more guidance in the future. Thank you in advance."

Fate was unsure for a moment, and he didn't know if the Five Elders were fucking senile to have made such a stupid decision.

However, people's hearts are hidden, and Fate still smiled politely:

"Oh, you are too kind. Since you are the executive prime minister, you are my colleague. Although you are a few years older than me, I am ashamed to say that I dare not give you guidance."

Between the lines, there is a sense of distance and alienation.

Lex wasn't surprised and immediately stood up and said goodbye.

Outside the door, Jialin Sheng asked Lex who was leaving Fate's office with him:

"You came here just to disgust this old man?"

"How can you say it's disgusting? There's nothing wrong with colleagues visiting each other directly. Next, I plan to go to CP and the Army Headquarters, as well as Marinford—"

Before he finished speaking, Jialin Sheng quickly waved his hand:

"Calm down, how can you be so shameless? What will they think of you standing in front of them? I heard that when you first came to the Holy Land, Jing (CP's new chief) was so scared that he kowtowed to you. I don't think you look like a vicious person."

Lex didn't care much.

He walked at a leisurely pace on the avenue of the holy land. Every person around him, whether they were government workers or celestial dragons, would stop and salute him, without exception.

Lex and Galinsheng acted as if they couldn't see anything and ignored everyone except each other, continuing to walk leisurely.

Unconsciously——

I have long left Pangu City and stayed away from the power...

-

-

The other side of the sea.

New World, Pentleras.

The two model workers are working tirelessly and conscientiously.

"Captain Gutt, if pirates must be the main group of people attending this Expo, it will lose its greatest significance. In that case, it will become just a feast for pirates, and such a feast is totally unsuitable for Lex's identity!"

Roy's usually calm face showed a rare bit of persistence and determination as he argued with Agulas Gutt.

Although Gutt was very busy and capable, he alone maintained the operation of a large flying fleet of tens of thousands of people.

But in essence, he still cannot change his nature as an old pirate from an old era.

He was not angry, but just repeated his theory:

"Young Master's Pirate Expo will gather all the heroes of this sea, and among this group of people, pirates are the main body. If even this nature changes, the Expo will lose its meaning!"

Agulas Gutt is an old-generation pirate who has been sailing since the era before the one before him and became famous in the last era (the Rocks era). He is one generation older than Roy, which also determines that he is obsessed with the Pirate Expo.

He believed that this was a feast for the young master to show off and celebrate his success. He invited the most outstanding pirates in the sea and let the other forces witness such a feast to completely establish the reputation of Leon Lex.

Gut's follower is Shiki, Leon Shiki. To put it bluntly, Gut is a loyal retainer of the Leon family, loyal to Golden Lion and Lex.

Roy is different. As Lex's second brother, he knows exactly what Lex is going to do with this Expo.

If it's really just a 'pirate' expo, then why invite the navy, the world government, the Celestial Dragons...?

Lex must have something he wants to do and a plan. Although Roy is not very clear, it will definitely not be wrong to make the World Expo a feast that includes everyone in the ocean!

Gut didn't want to have any more useless arguments with Roy.

According to Lex, although Roy is the top person in charge, without his support, no matter how capable Roy is, he cannot mobilize the Flying Pirates and at least half of the major forces.

Yes--

Even under Lex, there are divisions of power and each operates independently.

You don't really think that Lex can unite everyone together, put aside past grudges, and work together, right?

too naive!

This is the most realistic pirate world, and these people are all the top pirates on the sea.

It is simply a daydream to expect these people to be as uniform and obedient as the navy.

Besides, even the navy may not obey the orders of their superiors, let alone pirates?

It was already a genius and a fantasy that Lex could bring these people together, raise his own banner, and temporarily carve out a new world.

Rely on uncles, masters, adoptive fathers, sworn brothers, rely on elders...

Without these relationships intertwined, Lex would at most be considered a young legendary fighter, and would never have achieved what he has today.

Except for the golden lion who was born with it, the rest of these relationships were accumulated slowly by Lex over the past 21 years.

So most of the time, apart from deciding the grand strategy, Rex rarely interferes with the affairs of these big pirates in their respective waters. It's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't!

For example, Charlotte Lingling collects the lifespans of the residents of Ten Thousand Nations every year, but Lex never asks about it.

Shanuo, in charge of the Far West Sea, a thousand nautical miles around the Antalya Islands, all kingdoms surrendered to him. Why? Because those who did not surrender were slaughtered! Lex never asked about it.

Wang Zhi liked to order his men to plunder merchant ships. It was only after the "Deep Current" Umit joined Lex that it was not plundered. All other merchant ships that did not belong to Lex were plundered without exception.

Roy, before Rex unified the New World, he often slaughtered the Navy branches to develop the Illusion Fruit and expand his power.

The Golden Lion, needless to say, is the most brutal one.

Think about it, even Roger, who is the most talkative, has massacred an entire country’s army (it happened in the original book), so what about the others?

Pirates!

They are guys who always keep their word, do whatever it takes, and are brutal, bloody, vicious and cunning.

Wanting these people to unite and liberate the sea together, is this a fucking joke?

Fortunately, Lex never wanted to liberate the sea. He just used these powers to do what he wanted and pursue his own freedom.

This process requires too much strength.

So, Lex accepted Im's invitation and served as the executive prime minister of the World Government.

Back to the present.

Roy rubbed his eyes tiredly, stopped arguing, took out the Den Den Mushi, and called Lex directly in front of Gut.

In fact, this is a very bad idea and it shows one's incompetence.

It was the performance that he couldn't control everyone and had to ask Lex for help.

Roy would never do this unless it was absolutely necessary, but now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to do so.

The opponent is Agulas Gutt!

Who?

A loyal subordinate of the Golden Lion, a great pirate who has commanded the Flying Fleet for several years! Even Rex has to call him uncle!

Roy didn't want to be enemies with him.

Bilibili~——~!

Bilibili——~~

Holy place, in a private room.

Lex was sitting at a brand new desk, reading documents one by one. These were confidential documents of the world government, but now they were like naked women, left for Lex to read.

Although Lex could get these confidential documents without relying on his status as Prime Minister, it would be better than now.

Jialin Sheng was sitting on the sofa at one side, drowsy. He had been given a death order: "As long as Lex is in the holy land, he must follow him."

The signal traveled tens of thousands of miles and the Den Den Mushi rang out.

Bilibili~!

Bilibili——~~

Galinsheng was awakened, looked at Lex, and then continued to fall asleep.

"What's up?"

Lex was not shy and directly called Roy's Den Den Mushi in front of Garin Sheng.

".......Regarding the Pirate Expo, should we change the past custom and make it a new feast that encompasses the entire ocean, or should we continue the style of the previous era and invite pirates to hold a celebration? What do you think about this?"

Roy did not mention Gut's name directly, otherwise it would seem like he was complaining, and Roy would not do such a brainless thing.

But no matter how he beat around the bush, he had to say that there were now two different ideas, so Roy didn't want to play any word games and just said it out loud.

Lex in a moment——

I thought of a lot.

He even guessed that there were already two different forces in the New World that were in a stalemate, and there were two completely different opinions about the Pirate Expo.

As Roy said -

One is the old era, the other is the new trend of thought.

Lex had a headache, but he didn't show it.

He chose the most 'interesting' answer:

"......Ah?! Since Master insisted on holding it, then let's do it in the old days. Oh, by the way, if you feel that you are unable to do it, go to Fenghuai Qianli in the West Sea and take Gion over. Let her help you. She is quite free every day, so let her go out more often so that she won't be bored at home all day."

As soon as these words came out——

next moment--

A kind of unspoken tacit understanding, separated by tens of thousands of miles, appeared between Lex and Roy along with the sound of Den Den Mushi.

The other side of the sea.

Roy held the Den Den Mushi in his hand, a look of relief appeared in his eyes, and he immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi.

When he looked up at Agulas Gut next to him again, his mood had already changed:

"That's the way it is, Captain Gutt."

only saw--

Gu Te's face was not very good, with a hint of gloom in his eyes. Then he sighed slightly and smiled at himself as if relieved:

"Ha.....it has to be you young people of the new era~"

He gave up the idea he insisted on!

What is going on here?

Lex clearly said, "This is something that the master insisted on, so let's do it the old way."

This clearly means that he agrees with Gutt's opinion, but when Roy hung up the phone.

The two people present, Gut and Roy, had completely opposite attitudes.

It seems that - Lex said it the other way around?

but--

When we carefully think about what Lex said, we will find that Lex actually supports Roy's idea!

[Since this is Master's idea] In one sentence, make your attitude clear so as not to offend anyone on both sides. As for the Red Earl, everyone actually knows clearly that he is the one who truly does not care about worldly affairs and is just a scapegoat.

And the biggest scapegoat——

It's Gion!!

Yes, Lex's entire speech was about Gion, and he didn't mention his own opinion at all.

But he has clearly expressed his attitude.

[The second brother's words are beyond his ability] This one sentence has already shown that Lex guessed the predicament Roy was facing.

The solution is to [call Gion].

Who is Gion?

Lex's only woman, to some extent, represents Lex's attitude.

More importantly,

Gion is the navy~~!!!

Didn’t Gutt insist on hosting a pirate feast for the older generation of the old times?

Then let Gion, the navy of the new era, intervene in the affairs of the World Expo.

As a result, the older generation of pirates represented by Gutt had to compromise.

In fact, Lex didn't want to offend anyone.

If he came forward in person, he could naturally settle the dispute, but he would inevitably offend the older generation of pirates such as Gutt.

But if you come from Gion, it won’t be like that.

They would not get angry with a young girl, let alone, this girl is Lex's woman!

It’s the young lady!

This is the woman they will support even if it means gritting their teeth.

Therefore, a dispute before the World Expo was quietly resolved with Lex's irrelevant remarks.

The price is——

Gion had to travel far away again to the New World Pentles to be in charge of the affairs of the World Expo and represent Lex's attitude.

Poor Gion, now he is sleeping soundly among the thousands of miles of maple and locust trees.

Little did he know that he had already been 'betrayed' twice by Lex.

Not only do we have to settle in the holy land of Marijoa, but we also have to go to Pentles to arrange the World Expo.

Gion, who was sleeping, was completely unaware of all this.
