Inquiry

"Negotiation?! I don't think we're negotiating!"

After hearing Sengoku's words, Bai Ye spoke slowly.

If they had to put it that way, this matter did not really count as a negotiation, did it?

He had no idea what Sengoku was thinking.

"What do you mean?!"

Sengoku narrowed his eyes. Hearing Bai Ye's words, he suddenly felt something was strange.

If they were not negotiating here, then what else could this be?!

"At most, you're just discussing Wano Country with me right now. Negotiation would only come after you'd already decided to join!"

Bai Ye shrugged as he spoke.

Sengoku understood that perfectly well deep down.

Was this really a negotiation?!

In truth, Sengoku had not made up his mind yet, had he?!

So it was not a negotiation, merely a simple conversation.

"Don't put pressure on yourself. You can decide after we're done talking. You probably can't settle this right now anyway.

"Of course, you may already be leaning one way, which is why you called me here to talk. But as I said, if we reach an agreement, the Marines will come with me.

"If it fails, I'm taking these four back with me. After all, they're my spoils of war!"

Bai Ye did not hide anything and laid it all out plainly.

In Bai Ye's view, there was nothing to hide.

Since Sengoku had asked him here to talk, how could Sengoku not understand what this was about?

Sengoku knew, and he knew. There was no need to play guessing games here.

Likewise, clinging to that mindset would only put a great deal of pressure on them.

Bai Ye did not want to see that.

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Sengoku nodded. Meanwhile, the other four standing nearby all wore expressions that were difficult to describe.

This guy.
