With the strongest bloodline, it’s not too much to have more children, right?

Chapter 223 Exchange Conditions

A crack appeared in the void, and the slightly immature Kronos walked out of it.

"Dad, the devil fruit you asked for."

Kronos said, handing a space satchel to Zel.

"Well done."

Zel stroked Kronos's short green hair with a smile and took the devil fruit from his hand.

Zel didn't open it to see the devil fruit inside, but threw it directly to the system for retrieval.

He was no longer the bumpkin who had just arrived in the pirate world, and he was not that excited even after obtaining ten devil fruits.

And he knew without even looking that most of the devil fruits given by the navy were of the weak animal type.

Just when everyone on the Watcher was resting, the navy also found Zel.

In order to show that he had no intention of starting a war, Kong did not bring Sengoku with him, but only brought Crane.

On the deck of the Watcher, Zell leaned back on the sofa.

Rorschach, Kuma and other powerful warriors stood behind him, looking at Sora and Crane with wary expressions.

Looking at the nonchalant Zel, Sora spoke.

"The devil fruit on our ship is gone. The transaction can continue, but there may be a delay."

Upon hearing this, Zel sat up straight with an angry expression.

"What? Someone actually dared to steal the navy's things!"

After saying that, Zel showed an embarrassed expression again.

"Although I sympathize with your situation, I'm sorry, this is only a one-time deal. Our journey isn't over yet, so we can't stop just to wait for you."

Sora's head was filled with black lines, but looking at Zel's superb acting skills, he still chose to continue speaking along with what he said.

"What would it take for you to be willing to exchange?"

"It takes more money! Um, more devil fruits!"

Zell's face was hesitant, and it looked like he had made a real sacrifice.

Sora asked, resisting the urge to punch the drama queen.

"Twenty devil fruits, all the navy combined."

Zell shook his head and spoke.

"Thirty!"

"impossible!"

Sora immediately rejected Zell's offer. The Navy actually didn't have many Devil Fruits, and his original Devil Fruits were all given to him by the World Government.

Those foolish Celestial Dragons will not give up their precious toys for the Navy.

That’s right, it’s a toy. The Celestial Dragons don’t eat the devil fruits themselves, but give them to their slaves.

The Hancock sisters are a prime example.

Just then, the crane beside him spoke.

"Do you want a pirate with abilities?"

Zell raised his eyebrows and looked at the naval chief of staff who was already a little old, and said in a casual tone.

"How about Chief Crane join our Adrian family? I can release these navy for free."

Zel's sudden invitation froze the air for a moment, and the next moment, Kong, who had reacted, was about to lose his temper.

"Thank you for your consideration, but I can no longer leave the navy in my life."

Crane calmed down Sora, who was about to lose his temper, and spoke in a gentle tone, as if he and Zel were old friends.

Hearing this, Karina, who had originally held onto some hope, was completely disappointed.

She didn't really care what the navy was like, but it would be best if Crane and her female army could join the Adrien family.

"Haha, don't get excited, Marshal Kong. I admire Chief of Staff He, but I'm not that tough."

Zel stopped smiling, and looked at Sora with his crimson eyes, a gaze like a stare from the abyss.

"We also want pirates with special abilities, but we want those pirates who have committed many crimes. We don't want to replace innocent civilians."

Kong wanted to refute something, but when he thought about the mission assigned to them by the World Government this time, he felt powerless to refute.

In order to eliminate the bloodline of the Pirate King, they chose to sacrifice innocent civilians. This was a fact and he could not refute it.

Seeing that Sora had a grim expression on his face and was being led away by Zel, He spoke again.

"Where do we exchange?"

Crane knew that Zell couldn't possibly return the navy to them first, so he asked Zell directly to exchange places.

"Wano Country, I will send someone to contact you."

After Zel finished speaking, he leaned back on the sofa, already intending to send the guest away.

But Crane did not leave immediately, instead he spoke.

"Actually, we don't have to be enemies. I can sense that you are a person with a sense of justice. Why don't you try to cooperate with us?"

What He said was not groundless. The World Conference already had a draft regarding the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and a pirate with a stable personality like Zel would be the best partner.

Upon hearing this, Zel laughed.

"Hahahahaha, cooperation, you actually want me to cooperate with the navy!"

Zell's laughter was harsh, even inappropriate.

"Staff Officer Tsuru, it was you who defined me as a pirate, it was you who were always looking for trouble, and it was you, the navy, who were always trying to kill me. What can I cooperate with you on?!"

The people behind Zel tensed up. As long as Zel gave the order, they would take action to stop the two men.

The anger on Zel's face disappeared, and he looked at He with a playful expression.

"Staff Officer Tsuru, if the Navy can swear to secede from the World Government, then I would consider cooperating with you. How about that?"

Crane's expression didn't change as he patted the air and spoke to Zel.

"Excuse me, we'll leave first. We'll send someone to Wano Country when the time comes."

Crane finished speaking, and together with Sora, they moonwalked away from the Watcher.

Looking at the two people leaving, Dekar couldn't help but say.

"Dad, aren't you going to leave them here?"

Zel shook his head and asked.

"For a strong man like Kong, even if he loses a hand, he can fight back desperately and replace a few people without any problem."

The reason why Zel divided the battlefield into two at the beginning was to ensure the safety of everyone on the Watcher.

The Navy is willing to sacrifice a few people to fight Zell and his men, but Zell doesn't want to see any children die.

"That's right, never underestimate any powerful and famous person on the sea."

Jabba, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. This made people notice the muscular man who had suddenly appeared.

"Jabba, are you leaving with us?"

Zel turned his head and glanced at Jabba, the guy's sudden appearance was a great help and he was very welcome.

Jabba shook his head at Zell's question.

"Forget it. I'm an old man, so I'll just take care of myself. But I want to know if the captain's wife is okay?"

Zel looked at Roger's good brother with a strange expression, and many strange thoughts flashed through his mind.

Shaking his head to get rid of those strange thoughts, Zel replied.

"She has been moved by me. Do you want to go and see her?"

"That's good, I should leave too."

Jabba said, turning around and starting to leave.

At this moment, Zel suddenly said, "To celebrate the victory of the battle, let's hold a banquet tonight!"

Jabba stopped moving. As a member of Roger's pirate group, he had no resistance to the banquet.

"I think it's necessary to confirm it."

Jabba turned around and blended into the cheerful crowd with a natural look on his face.
