Chapter 183 Kizaru's Dilemma

"I know! I know that!!"

"The King of the World, Im, whose full name is Saint Nenaro Im, is one of the original twenty kings, an immortal who has lived for eight or nine hundred years!"

"He is also the master behind the Five Elders!"

Upon hearing Vegapunk's question, Bonnie immediately jumped out to answer as if showing off, like a proud peacock.

"The first twenty kings? An immortal who has lived for eight or nine hundred years?"

"Im was the king of the blank century in history?"

"How could anyone live that long!"

Vegapunk's eyes widened instantly, but then he seemed to suddenly realize something.

"The ultimate technique of the Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit: Immortality Surgery."

Otherwise, why do you think the World Government would offer a massive bounty of 50 billion Berries for the Op-Op Fruit?

After calming down his grief over losing the Mythical Zoan-type Gyu-Oni Monster, Luo Ji glanced at Dr. Vegapunk and then turned his attention to Kizaru Borsalino.

If you don't have the Mythical Pokémon Gyuki, then use the Logia-type Flash to make up for it.

"Ok?"

Kizaru's Observation Haki is also very strong. The moment Luo Ji became hostile, he swiftly transformed into a flash of light and appeared in a more distant place to ensure absolute safety.

"A wary, stupid monkey!"

Luo Ji watched Kizaru run away and cursed inwardly with a sense of regret. The speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit was almost the strongest among Devil Fruit abilities for escaping.

Luo Ji had just shown a hint of making a move, and before he could even give Yi Xiao and the others any instructions, Kizaru had already slipped away.

"Hey, hey, hey, Kizaru, don't run away yet!!"

"You failed to protect the Five Elders, don't you want to rescue Vegapunk?!"

"Vegapunk is your close friend, your brother."

And Sentomaru is your beloved nephew, how can you bear to abandon them and run away like this?"

"Besides, you'll be punished by the Five Elders and Sengoku the Buddha if you go back. Why don't you stay and take care of Vegapunk and Sentomaru!"

"What's your current salary? I'll give you a tenfold raise, and I'll even cover your entire retirement pension!"

"From now on, all you need to do is be Vegapunk's bodyguard. You don't need to clock in or out, and you'll still get paid!"

Seeing that Kizaru really wanted to run away, Luo Ji quickly shouted, putting on a 'sincere' appearance of trying to persuade him with emotion, reason, and money.

Just as Kizaru was about to run away, he heard Luo Ji's shout, turned around and glanced at Vegapunk, and indeed hesitated a bit.

He has indeed come to regard Vegapunk as a good friend and Sentomaru, that simpleton, as a nephew.

He couldn't bear to watch the two of them fall into the hands of the Luo Ji World Group.

"Borsalino, don't worry about me and Sentomaru. Kuma and Bonnie are here too. They won't hurt us."

Do whatever you want; you don't need to go against your own will or justice.

Seeing Kizaru's dilemma, Vegapunk shouted directly. He knew he was not in danger, so he didn't want Kizaru to be threatened into taking a path against his conscience.

Just as Vegapunk repeatedly advised Stussy, he did not want his friend to be influenced by him and forced to do certain things.

"Ada!!"

"Shut up, you old man with the light bulb!"

"Don't stop Brother Luo Ji from recruiting crew members!"

Bonnie suddenly jumped up and gave Vegapunk a hard flick on the head, threatening him angrily.

"Falling, falling!!"

Vegapunk clutched his head and cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face. This little girl is too cruel.

"Bonnie! How could you treat your benefactor like this!"

For once, Big Bear seriously lectured Bonnie, pulling her up and demanding that she apologize to Dr. Vegapunk.

Just moments ago, Big Bear was still grieving the death of his enemy, Saint Satan.

Is this considered revenge for Ginny?

This relieved a lot of the shadow and pressure in Da Xiong's heart.

Seeing that Bonnie was showing signs of being spoiled, Big Bear decided to truly take on the role of a father and properly teach Bonnie, so that she wouldn't become an unreasonable and unruly girl.

Vegapunk is the one who cured Bonney's blue scales, how can he be so rude?

"Humph~"

Bonney, in her child form, pouted, but seeing the look in Kuma's eyes, she could only whisper an apology to Vegapunk.

"It's nothing, it's just a kid's whim," Vegapunk said with a dry laugh.

But the next moment, he said something that made Bonnie's eyelids twitch.

"See that, Borsalino? Sentomaru and I will be fine."

Vegapunk shouted, which made even Kuma's lips twitch.

Dr. Vegapunk, do you really have such low emotional intelligence?!

Big Bear glanced furtively at Luo Ji, the young captain.

As Luo Ji mastered the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement and even achieved a breakthrough, Kuma knew that the captain's strength had undergone a qualitative change and reached a completely new level.

Especially the seemingly ordinary rope belt around Luo Ji's waist, even now Da Xiong can still feel a lingering force from it.

This is the Conqueror's Haki Rope left behind by Joy Boy.

Big Bear always felt that Luo Ji could comprehend a stronger Conqueror's Haki through this waist rope.

After all, the world of geniuses is hard to understand.

The genius that Da Xiong thought was someone who could walk from birth turned out to be someone who could fly from birth.

Why do some geniuses still have to work hard to cultivate their skills, while others can learn everything just by looking at them?

The gap between a genius and a peerless genius is almost as wide as an ocean.

···

Just when Big Bear and Bonnie thought Luo Ji would get angry.

Luo Ji smiled slightly, his 'covetousness' towards Kizaru vanished instantly.

"Yes! Kizaru, Dr. Vegapunk is right. Don't go against your own will and justice."

"Those Celestial Dragons just find a non-member island every three years and hold a 'Human Purge Competition'."

"Those Celestial Dragons just want you, the Marine Admiral, to frequently protect them as they go to the Sabaody Archipelago to buy slaves."

"Those Celestial Dragons treat you Marines like servants and lackeys, scolding and ordering you around."

"You can't protect Satan Saint this time, nor can you protect Vegapunk. When you go back, at most you'll be fined a year and a half's salary, have all your vacations canceled, and be sent on missions to catch pirates every day."

“Perhaps the people of Satan Saint will send you to the Holy Land to ‘encourage’ you.”

Luo Ji's mouth was like a machine gun, constantly spewing out heartfelt words.

Hearing this, both Vegapunk and Kizaru's lips twitched and their eyelids twitched.

The smiles on the faces of the members of Luo Ji World Group were already so prominent they could hardly contain themselves, like the AK47 assault rifles.

This captain's mouth is too sharp.

Is this shrimp and pork heart?

But what is that Human Elimination Contest?

That sounds rather evil.

Whenever Big Bear heard this name, his eyes underwent a dramatic change.

He, Ginny, and Ivankov were slaves who escaped from the "Human Purge Contest" in God Valley.

That was a truly terrifying and desperate memory!
