98 Chapter 98
When I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly felt so much killing intent that it felt like someone was holding a blade against my throat. But it quickly disappeared.
'Damn, what the hell happened to Aiko that Aokiji would get so mad. Well, whatever it is, I'm sure that the World Government is the culprit. I'll see if he is open to talk tomorrow.'
[Next day
8 am]
I sensed Aokiji boarding the ship.
*YAWN*
'Why did he come here so early? I guess I'll go out and find out.'
After dressing up, I went to the upper deck, where I found Aokiji waiting for me.
"What woke you up so early, Aokiji?"
"I want to make a deal with you."
"A deal? You didn't even pay me for finding your little sister."
He gave me a check. I read it and almost couldn't believe my eyes.
"That 3 billion is all the money I have. That's for the previous deal and this one."
"What do you want."
"Bring my little sister and her family to one of the 4 blues and make sure that no one will ever be able to find her. I know that that is something you're capable of."
"Yeah, it's easy, but what are you going to do?"
He looked at me and didn't say anything.
"Sigh. Listen up, Aokiji. Whatever the World Government did to your little sister is not something that you can pay back on your own. I know what you're thinking. You'll keep being an Admiral and try to get closer to the Celestial bastards, and when you find the one responsible, you will execute him right there and there."
His face didn't change, but his eyes told me everything I needed to know.
"You know that you won't be able to escape from there, and even if you do, you'll become like me and be chased to the end of the world. Which means that you will never see your little sister again. And even though you know that, you're still determined to go through with it."
"How funny. A pirate is worried about a marine. I have been with the marines since I was a kid. I was always promised that they would help me find my little sister, but 30 years later, I had to rely on a pirate to find her. And I found out that the ones I trusted were the same ones that took my little sister from me. If it wasn't for Fisher Tiger saving her, I don't want to think what would have happened to her then."
"I can understand that you're angry, and I would be too, but you have to calm down. What do you think will happen if you die and your little sister finds out? The worst that can happen is that she'll blame herself and commit suicide."
He froze.
"How about this. I'll give you a better offer."
I ripped the check.
"Join me, and I'll bring the bastard that made your little sister a slave to you. And I'll even let you borrow Laffitte's torture tools."
"What will be the difference if I join you or do things on my own. The outcome will be the same."
I smiled.
"The outcome won't be the same because you won't be betraying the World Government. You'll stay an Admiral and become my spy."
"What makes you think that I will work for someone weaker than me? And why should I stay there after I killed that bastard?"
I smirked.
"It's true that you're stronger than me right now, but aren't the Celestial bastards also stronger than you? Yet you still worked for them. And the reason that you should stay an Admiral after you had your fun with the Celestial bastard is because he is not your only enemy. Do you really think that he is your only enemy? What about all the others that lied to you? Or do you really think that they couldn't find your little sister?"
He didn't say anything.
"As you know, everyone that enters Mary Geoise gets a profile made where they have a picture of them, their name, and their position. So since your little sister had already entered Mary Geoise as a slave, there is no way that they wouldn't have known about her. They could have easily found her. But there is no way that they would let you meet her. They knew that something like this would happen."
"Don't think that I don't know that. But there is nothing I can do about that. The World Government is too strong. No matter how much I want to punish every last bastard, I just can't."
I smiled.
'I've got him.'
"That's why you should join me. After all, my final plan is to kill everyone at the top."
He looked surprised.
"I knew that you were crazy, but this is just too much."
"Hehehe, yeah, I know. But it's the only way that I can live in peace. Now make your choice. Work under me and help me take down every last bastard that made your life hell or go and kill that one celestial bastard and either get killed or live the rest of your life in hiding without seeing your little sister and her children ever again."
After 10 minutes of just staring at me, he finally gave in.
"Bring me Saint Jalmack, take my little sister and her family to one of the Blue's, and I'll become your spy or whatever you want."
I smiled and held out my hand.
"It's a deal then."
He shook my hand.
"It's a deal."
'Hahaha, take this, you bastards! Because of your idiocy, I managed to get an Admiral on my side. You should have just killed her and made it look like some pirates killed her.'
I let go of his hand.
"Go and hang out with your little sister. I'll have someone bring the kids back when they wake up. When I bring you Jalmack, I'll have your little sister and her family brought to one of the Blue's. Of course, I won't tell you where since I can't have you accidentally leak their location."
I turned around and started walking back into my ship. I looked back at Aokiji.
"Aokiji, I trust that you won't betray me, so please don't let my trust down."
"You aren't the type to trust in somebody you shouldn't."
I smiled.
"I wish that was true. I made that mistake before, but I have a good feeling about you."
I entered my ship and shut the door behind me, and I felt him disappear. I walked to Laffitte's room and entered without knocking. He immediately woke up and sat straight up.
"Goodmorning, Laffitte."
"Goodmorning, Captain. What can I help you with?"
"I'm sorry to barge in so early in the morning, but I have an important mission that I need you to complete. Do you know Jalmack?"
"He is a Celestial Dragon."
"Yeah, that's him. I need you to kidnap him."
He had a huge smile on his face.
"Do I get to torture him?"
"No, I need you to get him here in one piece. Can you do it?"
"No, not alone. They have increased their security a lot. They never thought that someone would attack Mary Geoise, so their security was loose, but after everything that happened, it has become almost impossible to get in there and out with a Celestial Dragon."
"But that is only if you're alone. What if you take Robert with you?"
He smiled.
"Child's play."
"Hahaha, that's what I wanted to hear. Don't feel pressured to get it done quickly. Just make sure that nobody finds out that he is gone before the three of you are already far away."
"I'll make sure to make a bulletproof plan with Robert."
"Good, now get back to sleep. You'll need it."
"Yes, Captain."
I left his room.
'I'm so excited right now that I can't go back to sleep. I should go and get some training in.'
I started walking to the training room.
'Now that I will have an Admiral as a spy, we will be able to move more freely. If he updates me with the marines activities, it will be easy to dodge all the marines. And there is no way that they would suspect him. After all, they don't know that he has already found his little sister. Now all I need to do is start training and building my army. I will put finding the One Piece on hold for now.'
