Chapter 127: Lucci, Kaku, and Kalifa Join the Crew!
On the Money Pirates' journey to Enies Lobby.
On the deck of the Money ship.
Lucci, Kaku, and Kalifa woke up groggily.
Looked around.
Seeing the unfamiliar environment.
Their consciousness cleared instantly.
"Were we captured??" Lucci muttered to himself.
"Yo, you're awake!!"
Lister, sitting on the beach chair, noticed Lucci and the others waking up, and immediately greeted them playfully.
"Godspeed Lister! You didn't kill us?!" Lucci looked towards Lister, asking calmly.
"Do you want to die that much??" Lister looked at Lucci playfully.
"Who wants to die if they can live!" Lucci said in a deep voice.
"True!" Lister nodded.
"Where are we going??" Lucci asked.
"Enies Lobby!!" Lister answered.
"What for??" Lucci frowned.
"After your defeat, your CP9 chief, Spandam, negotiated with me. He asked me to release you, then obediently offer up Robin for you to take away. As a condition, he would merely not pursue my interference with CP9's business. Do you think I would agree to such conditions??" Lister said playfully.
"Impossible to agree!!" Lucci said in a deep voice.
Although Lucci had just met Lister.
Didn't understand Lister's character.
But he knew that people of this kind were used to being lawless.
How could he agree to such ridiculous demands from Spandam.
So, Lucci didn't even need to think to guess that the two had fallen out.
"Correct, I couldn't possibly agree to such conditions! So I fell out with CP9 Chief Spandam. Then, your chief directly launched a Buster Call against Water 7 and my Money Pirates!! Then, guess what happened??" Lister looked at Lucci playfully and said.
"Now being chased by the Marines??" Lucci answered, shock flashing in his eyes.
Didn't expect that unreliable chief to be so ridiculous.
Just because a negotiation failed.
He launched a Buster Call directly.
Too rash!!
However, well done!!
Lucci was also a cold-blooded and bloodthirsty person.
Although he felt Spandam was a bit rash, he didn't think doing so was wrong.
After all, under those circumstances, they were all defeated, the rest of CP9 couldn't do anything to the Money Pirates. If Spandam wanted to capture Robin, he could only use someone else's hand to take down the Money Pirates.
"Chased by the Marines?? Then why would I go to Enies Lobby??? You underestimate my Money Pirates too much!" Lister chuckled dumbly.
"Did you defeat the Buster Call??" Hearing this, Lucci's pupils shrank slightly. Although somewhat unbelievable, he made a bold guess.
"See those warships behind us?? They are all my spoils of war!!" Lister pointed to the ships behind the Money ship and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Lucci and the other two couldn't help but look up towards both sides behind the Money ship.
Indeed saw quite a few warships!
"Too crazy, taking warships as spoils of war." Amidst the shock, Kalifa couldn't help but exclaim.
"Launching a Buster Call at the slightest disagreement, what's wrong with me taking warships as spoils of war!!" Lister sneered.
"I not only defeated the Buster Call, but completely annihilated the Marines. Since I've rubbed the Marines' face on the ground, seizing a few more warships as spoils of war is nothing. Just a pity. The war was a bit intense. Destroyed quite a few warships. Only twenty-one are intact, the rest were more or less damaged, so I only took over twenty-one, as for the others, I sank them all!"
"So, you're going to Enies Lobby now to kill Spandam!!" Lucci said in a deep voice.
"Correct!!" Lister nodded.
"What does that have to do with us?" Lucci asked.
"Of course it has to do with you!!" Lister said.
"Your strength is good, I quite value you, I hope you can join the Money Pirates!!"
"What if I'm unwilling?" Lucci said in a deep voice.
"Then I'll use the three of you as sacrifices to the flag when attacking Enies Lobby!" Lister said in a deep voice.
For Lucci who was unwilling to join the Money Pirates, Lister had no intention of being soft-hearted.
"If I join, next, you won't ask me to participate in your actions, will you??" Lucci asked again.
"No need for you to participate, I wouldn't trust you to participate either!" Lister said indifferently.
"But after I capture Spandam, I will let you execute him! This is called a certificate of loyalty! Only after submitting the certificate of loyalty will I accept you, trust you. You only have two choices, either refuse my invitation and be used as sacrifices by me, or submit the certificate of loyalty and join me."
Hearing this.
The three fell completely silent.
Killing Spandam, then there really was no room for maneuver.
But, if not killed, they would die immediately.
For a time, the three fell into a dilemma.
Lister looked at the three's expressions, knowing the choice was somewhat difficult for them.
Didn't force them to express immediately, continuing:
"It takes about half an hour to reach Enies Lobby, you don't have to give me an answer immediately, you can think it over properly. Wait until we reach Enies Lobby, then give me the answer, it's not too late!!"
After Lister finished speaking.
He ignored them.
Continued drinking afternoon tea, enjoying Xiao Lian's massage.
Time passed bit by bit.
The Money Pirates gradually approached Enies Lobby.
"Captain, island spotted twenty kilometers ahead!" The lookout on the observation tower reported.
"Let the warships go up and fire a few shots at Enies Lobby first!" Lister said to Nami beside him.
"Understood!" Nami responded.
Took a walkie-talkie type Den Den Mushi, issuing Lister's order.
Soon.
Several warships surpassed the Money ship, without a word.
Fired a few shots directly at Enies Lobby!
"Alright, time's up, tell me your answer!!"
"I am willing to join the Money Pirates!!" Lucci said in a deep voice.
Lucci was a person who believed in the survival of the fittest.
Had no loyalty to Spandam at all.
What he had was only deep reverence for the CP organization and the World Government.
The reason he didn't agree to join the Money Pirates immediately was because he was afraid that after joining the Money Pirates.
He would face endless assassinations from the CP organization and the World Government in the future.
Now.
After half an hour of weighing.
He felt joining the Money Pirates was more worthwhile.
After all, if he didn't join, he would be used as a sacrifice immediately. If he joined, there might be trouble later, but that's a matter for the future.
Let's talk about future matters in the future!!!
Chief Spandam, sorry, let you sacrifice a bit for me!!!!
After Lucci agreed to join the Money Pirates, Kaku and Kalifa also hesitated no more, agreeing to join the Money Pirates one after another.
"Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, welcome to the Money Pirates!" Lister smiled faintly.
