Chapter 426

"Hey, Miss Luo Bin, how, how could you take the initiative to kiss that Marine!!!"

This sentence translates to: Why did you kiss him and not me?

Luo Bin looked at the rubbings in her hand and said: "Because he was the first man in this world to bring me warmth."

Watching the happy smile on Luo Bin's face, Sanji was in great pain. He tremblingly took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it silently.

He couldn't help but recall running in the sunset when he was a child; that was his lost youth...

"Sanji, what's wrong with you? It's not that serious, right? Mr. Karl is clearly very good!"

Sanji glanced at Chopper and thought to himself: You have the nerve to say that while holding marshmallows!

"Speaking of which, what exactly did that guy come here for? Just to deliver things to Miss Luo Bin? Eh, and two blades? Are they for the moss-head?"

Luo Bin nodded: "Yes, Karl said they were for Zoro. Oto, Kogarashi... such familiar names."

"We're back!!!"

Of the three who went to pick food, only Zoro's basket was full of food in the end. Luffy and Usopp basically returned empty-handed.

"Hey, Luffy, Usopp, why didn't you bring anything back? Didn't we agree to let you collect food? Zoro is obedient, you should learn from him. Zoro, Zoro?"

Nami called for a long time without response. She turned her head and saw Zoro's eyes fixed on the two blades in Luo Bin's hands.

"These are... famous blades, right! Where did you get them?"

Luo Bin smiled slightly and handed Oto and Kogarashi to Zoro: "A lot happened while you were away. In short, the Marine Hero Karl came by, and he instructed me to give these two blades to you."

Zoro swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and Karl's face couldn't help but appear in his mind. Does this count as encouraging himself to get stronger quickly?

"Good blades! I reckon only Wado Ichimonji can compare to them."

"This one is Oto, and this one is Kogarashi. Their previous owner was the legendary pirate, Golden Lion Shiki."

"Golden Lion Shiki? Who is that?"

Nami said speechlessly: "Do none of you read the newspaper? It was written very clearly in the newspaper a few days ago, okay!"

"What's going on, what's going on?" Luffy came over to join the fun.

"Golden Lion Shiki was a legendary pirate on par with Roger and Bai Huzi back in the day. His swords naturally wouldn't be bad."

"I think the reason Karl gave them to you is that he values your swordsmanship talent and hopes you can grow up quickly to fight him. Zoro, you have to work hard!" Luo Bin encouraged.

Zoro held Oto and Kogarashi horizontally in front of his eyes. Through the reflection of the blades, one could see that Zoro's eyes were very serious.

"I will..."

Usopp rubbed his chin and suddenly discovered a blind spot: "Hey, don't you think it's strange? This Karl is a Marine, right? Why is his attitude toward us pirates so good? Is he plotting something else?"

Sanji expressed strong agreement, but Zoro, Nami, Chopper, and Luo Bin didn't think so. It was probably because they had known Karl before they decided to become pirates!

Holy Land Mary Geoise.

"What? You say Red-Haired he..."

"Yes, he has already begun to stir."

"Hmph, he shouldn't be able to take action personally, right?"

"Yes, he has begun to act by indirectly sending an envoy. However, letting Bai Huzi and Red-Haired meet is really too dangerous."

The old man with a black hat and a scar on his cheek, holding a scepter with both hands, said faintly: "Hmm, what you say is not unreasonable. Once Red-Haired takes action, he will definitely be a troublesome guy. But he is not a man who would change the world for his own selfish desires. Do not act rashly; it is best to observe for a while."

The middle-aged man with blond hair nodded in agreement: "Not bad. The most important thing now is the Warlord of the Sea matter. We must appoint Crocodile's successor as soon as possible. A thousand-mile dike collapses from an ant's nest. Once the camp of the three great powers collapses, it will definitely bring a direct impact to the world."

The bald man holding the Kitetsu: "So, we must maintain balance."

"Yes, I will immediately notify Fleet Admiral Sengoku to have him summon the Seven Warlords of the Sea to the headquarters. However, it is impossible to determine how many will come. After all, pirates are all people who act on their own whims. If we use a mandatory summons just for this matter, I'm afraid..."

"Notify the Warlords first! We'll talk about other things when the time comes."

"Yes!"

The old man with curly hair and a scar on his cheek picked up the bounty poster on the table. Luffy's smiling face came into view.

"Crocodile is truly a piece of trash. We gave him so much time, and he still failed. And this kid who defeated him, too. If it weren't for him, that guy Cobra might have agreed."

"Hmph! We must not let this guy go, this one called Monkey D. Luffy..."

The next day, Marine Headquarters.

"What, didn't find her?"

Karl shook his head: "No."

"Did you really not find her, or did you deliberately not find her?"

Karl thought for a while and said: "Deliberately."

Sengoku seemed to have expected this would happen and didn't say much. After all, only the World Government really wanted Nico Luo Bin to disappear; the Marines actually didn't care.

"Fine, then let's talk about another matter! Crocodile has been sent to Impel Down, and there is a vacancy in the Warlord position. The World Government is discussing choosing another pirate to fill in and become a Warlord of the Sea."

"Mm, you said that before, I know. What, are you preparing to hold a meeting?"

Sengoku nodded: "That's right. I have already issued a Warlord summons, and in a few days, the Seven Warlords of the Sea will arrive at Marine Headquarters."

"Oh, I see! Then is there anything you need me to do?"

Sengoku took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Find Boa Hancock. Our people went to Amazon Lily and found it already empty. Amazon Lily has actually disappeared!"

Karl:....

Hasn't it disappeared? Hancock had already moved under Karl's instigation. It would be a miracle if you could find it.

This matter could only be done by Karl. Sengoku had long discovered that there was an ambiguous relationship between Karl and Hancock. If anyone in the world knew Hancock's whereabouts, it was Karl.

"Fine, a piece of cake. Then what about Mihawk? I haven't heard from him for a long time. He hasn't died, has he?"

Sengoku shook his head: "Not at all. He appeared in the New World a few days ago. Although his wounds haven't healed yet, there shouldn't be any major problems. We have already sent people to notify him."

"Got it, then I'm off!" ===== CHAPTER 428 =====
