Chapter 87: Dragon's Request

"My lord, Shichibukai Boa Hancock has left, but Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma is back and wants to meet you!"

Just when Luo Ning put down the training ground and was about to go in for a try, suddenly Sadi-chan came in again with news.

"Kuma? I see, let him in."

After Luo Ning heard that it was Kuma, he knew what was going on. Kuma was a member of the Revolutionary Army. After he left, he came back again. It must be because someone from the Revolutionary Army contacted him.

Luo Ning is not disgusted with the revolutionary army of Pirate World, on the contrary, he is somewhat optimistic. At least in his understanding.

No matter how much you fight internally, there must be a bottom line. What is the meaning of the existence of the revolutionary army? Isn't it just to liberate the people?

As for the pirates, at least what Luo Ning saw was positive. I dare not say that the revolutionary army led by Dragon must have no flaws at all, but at least it is much better than the so called righteous.

So Luo Ning doesn't mind seeing Kuma now, anyway, it is certain that the revolutionary army will replace the World Government in the future.

He didn't have the kind of idea of competing in the world, just have a big prison as a shelter.

"Yes, I will let him leave now... wait, sir, did you just say let him come see you?"

Sadi-Chan originally thought that Luo Ning would do the same just like driving Hancock away, but she never expected that Luo Ning would actually plan to meet Kuma, which left her a little confused.

"You will know the specific reason later, let him in"

Luo Ning didn't explain too much. Although Impel Down is his territory, it's impossible to say there are no Marines' spies here. Someone will definitely choose to be a spy in the future, after all, money is tempting.

Luo Ning doubled their salaries, but there will always be someone who will take a higher offer. There's no easy money, and some people are greedy. Naturally, Luo Ning can't control this.

But he's not afraid of those guys. So what if there are spies? Does Luo Ning care? No!

As long as you have the power to overturn the chessboard, no matter how much advantage you have on the board, it will be nothing in the end.

Soon, Kuma arrived at Luo Ning's villa, and the two met in the courtyard, mainly because Luo Ning's door really couldn't fit a man as big as Kuma.

The height of the people in this world is really strange. They don't have the blood of the Titan race, yet they grow to be several meters tall. Luo Ning isn't short, but compared to these people, he is a bit on the shorter side.

"We meet again. Let's get straight to the point. Did Dragon send you here?"

Luo Ning asked directly. This sentence instantly made Kuma tense up.

"You know?!"

Kuma asked with doubt. Not many people knew he was a member of the Revolutionary Army. He completely hid his affiliation from the outside world. How did Luo Ning know?

"I know. As for the reason, you don't need to worry about it. Just tell me the purpose of your visit."

Luo Ning said indifferently, then used his Fantasy to condense tables, chairs, and tea.

"Let Dragon speak to you."

Kuma retrieved a Den Den Mushi and dialed. It was best for the leader of the Revolutionary Army to handle this himself.

The call connected, and the voice of the Dragon came through.

"Mr. Luo Ning, I sincerely apologize. I should be there in person, but my situation is rather unique, and I'm far from your location. Kuma will have to act on my behalf."

Dragon adopted a very humble posture. He understood that the one who could effortlessly disrupt the Marines' plans could just as easily dismantle their Revolutionary Army. The only question that lingered in his mind was whether Luo Ning was an adversary of the World Government and just how many secrets the World Government harbored.

Regardless, Luo Ning's strength had undeniably surpassed Roger's Pirate King title.

Any force would have to tread cautiously when facing Luo Ning.

"Hello, Mr. Dragon. I prefer a direct approach. Tell me what you have in mind," Luo Ning said with a smile, his words leaving Dragon feeling slightly helpless. Dragon was a politician, and his negotiation skills were naturally honed.

However, Luo Ning's directness threw a wrench in his plans. Originally, he had intended to engage Luo Ning in a display of diplomatic finesse, utilizing his near-masterful negotiation skills. But Luo Ning's bluntness completely disrupted his strategy.

"This is our first meeting, Mr. Luo Ning. Your straightforwardness is refreshing. So, I'll be direct as well. I would like to invite you to join the Revolutionary Army," Dragon began, testing the waters. Though he knew the probability of success was slim to none, a sliver of hope remained.

"Forget it, I'm here. Impel Down is fine."

Luo Ning directly rejected Dragon.

"That's a real pity. If we had Mr. Luo Ning's help, our revolutionary army wouldn't be as passive as it is now. But I still want to cooperate with Mr. Luo Ning."

Dragon shook his head helplessly. It really was his own doing.

"How do you want to cooperate? Or what can you offer me?"

Luo Ning's words directly silenced Dragon. Indeed, what Luo Ning wanted now was what they lacked, and what their revolutionary army wanted was nothing. He wanted to borrow Luo Ning's power, but he needed a bargaining chip that could impress Luo Ning.

"I don't know what we have that could make Mr. Luo Ning interested, after all, Mr. Luo Ning is well aware of the situation of our revolutionary army."

Dragon couldn't help but slap himself on the forehead, realizing he'd made a big mistake. It was mainly because he was a little too excited after seeing Luo Ning's impressive display of power, so much so that he directly forgot about their current circumstances.

Without enough bargaining chips, how could he get the other party to help them? It was absurd.

"It seems Mr. Dragon hasn't made up his mind yet. I have a proposal. Open the intelligence network of your revolutionary army to me. In return, I can lend you some power when you need it."

Luo Ning said this knowing that although he could dominate the seas with his strength, intelligence was also very important, despite his cooperation with Morgans.

The Revolutionary Army's intelligence network was not weak either, and the two could potentially complement each other, offering valuable information exchange. Luo Ning needed enough information to prevent someone from suddenly attacking him and those around him someday.

While he wasn't particularly afraid, it was definitely better to know in advance and prevent problems before they happened.
