Chapter 159

"Chris, are you almost at the Alabasta Kingdom, ready to make your move against Crocodile?"

Sengoku said in a serious voice, "We have already communicated with Crocodile. His strength has improved significantly in the past few years."

"The power of the Logia Sand-Sand Fruit is not something you can handle."

"Chris, you've only Cultivation for a few years, and you really think you can stand up to the Shichibukai? That's utterly laughable."

Hearing Sengoku's sarcastic remark, the women exchanged glances, their pretty faces showing strange expressions, finding it quite amusing.

Carina's beautiful eyes sparkled as she said with a smile, "This Fleet Admiral Sengoku is employing psychological tactics, preparing to win over Chris."

Nami blinked her big eyes and said casually, "Someone as strong as Chris wouldn't care about these things. You're overthinking it."

"There's a problem with that statement itself. A little thought will reveal the flaws." Robin brushed aside her long, glossy black hair and began to analyze the situation with intelligence and grace.

"If Chris wasn't Crocodile's match, why would the Navy be so concerned, and why would they even call?"

"When Chris goes to the Alabasta Kingdom, he'll be captured by Crocodile immediately. What other situation will there be?"

"Therefore, what the Sengoku period said is utter nonsense."

Kaya looked at Robin, her beautiful eyes lit up, and a sweet smile bloomed on her fair and delicate face as she praised him.

"Sister Robin is indeed the most intelligent; she was able to analyze so much so quickly. She's really amazing."

Makino nodded gently and said Gentle, "Robin's analytical skills are indeed remarkable; he can see through appearances to the essence of things."

Just then, Chris took a drag of his cigarette, remaining calm as ever, and said indifferently, "Sengoku, don't try those petty tricks on me."

"Staff Officer Tsuru is listening nearby; he's definitely analyzing my situation and trying to investigate me thoroughly."

"I wasn't wrong, was I, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"

Shock.

Everyone in the office was deeply shocked by Chris's words.

They all looked at the Den Den Mushi, which mimicked Chris's appearance, cold and indifferent, with a hint of disdain.

"Hahaha..."

Garp slammed his hand on the desk, burst into laughter, and shouted, "Sengoku, your scheme is useless! They know everything about us!"

Borsalino leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and continued his self-destructive behavior, saying something in a strange tone.

"Ouch~~"

"Young people these days are so smart, it's scary!"

Sakazuki, a staunch advocate of force and the belief in using violence to combat violence, spoke with a resolute and solemn expression, "Why waste words? Just warn him directly."

Doberman nodded in agreement, "So what if he's just a rookie Pirate? There's really no need to use tricks."

Kuzan yawned and said lazily, "It seems he's not only powerful, but also very calm and rational."

Looking at the Den Den Mushi, Chaton said in a flippant tone, "Very aloof, like it's seen through everything. It's certainly mysterious."

"As expected of Chris, he guessed Fleet Admiral Sengoku's thoughts immediately. He certainly didn't disappoint me."

Momousagi secretly praised him in her heart; this was the young man she knew—powerful and wise.

Staff Officer Tsuru frowned slightly, his pale eyebrows furrowing slightly. He didn't say much, but a solemn expression appeared on his old face.

She knew very well that this Chris was far more mysterious than she had imagined, and was truly extraordinary.

At this moment, Sengoku sneered and said sarcastically, "As expected of a scheming fellow, he knows so much about the navy."

"Chris, you're quite impressive. At such a young age, you possess such formidable strength. Even Smoker, Colonel from Headquarters, was defeated by you."

"Now that you have countless talented people under your command, if they were to go to the Alabasta Kingdom, Crocodile's position would be doomed."

Sengoku paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Chris, we already know you want to become Shichibukai."

"However, things are not that simple. Defeating Crocodile doesn't guarantee you'll become Shichibukai."

"There's one request you must agree to, or the Navy will absolutely not recognize you!"

Upon hearing Sengoku's words, the women couldn't help but exchange glances, their beautiful brows furrowing in confusion.

They were eager to know what conditions the Fleet Admiral Sengoku would propose; they were probably quite demanding.

Neither of them spoke, their beautiful eyes fixed on Chris, holding their breath and listening intently.

"Sengoku, stop with the nonsense and just state your demands."

Chris exhaled a puff of smoke and calmly said, "We're not kids anymore. There's no need for so many roundabout ways or psychological warfare. It won't work on me."

Seeing Chris's calm demeanor, the women all shook their heads and couldn't help but sigh.

Honey Queen smoothed her light blonde hair and said with a smile, "This guy is the same no matter who he's facing."

"Even if the other party is the head of the navy, they still won't be very willing to pay attention to him."

Belo Betty took a drag of her cigarette and said calmly as always, "He's a machine. You can't expect to see any other expression on his face."

Alvida held the large iron bar upright in front of her, shrugged her shoulders, and said with a wry smile.

"If it were an ordinary person, they would be terrified in front of a naval Fleet Admiral, let alone remain so calm and composed."

Nami looked at Chris's retreating figure, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration, and said casually, "That's the confidence of a strong person, so impressive!"

Princess Vivi nodded, her delicate eyebrows curving in agreement, and said, "Lord Chris wasn't pretending at all; it was all a natural performance, which is truly admirable."

Robin brushed her long, glossy black hair aside, her expression intelligent and rational. "As a Pirate, everyone is afraid of Fleet Admiral Sengoku; there's no doubt about that."

"If it were Crocodile, he would have been terrified and wouldn't dare to say a word."

"It can only be said that Chris is truly too strong, which is why he has such confidence and is unaffected by anything."

Inside the office, the generals were furious upon hearing Chris's direct answer.

Doberman's gaze turned cold, and he said firmly, "A mere rookie Pirate dares to put on such airs, really thinking he's someone important? He deserves to die!"

The Momonga sat up straight and said coldly, "Such disrespect for the Fleet Admiral, Chris is really asking for death."

Yamakaji took a drag of his cigarette, squinting slightly. "Young people are bound to be impulsive; they definitely need to be taught a lesson."

Sengoku ignored Chris's unreasonable behavior, his expression extremely serious, and said directly, "Chris, the Navy has only one request."

"After you defeat Crocodile, you must wait for Vice Admiral Onigumo in the Alabasta Kingdom."

"After his examination, if your strength is sufficient, then we can make you the next Shichibukai."

"Remember this condition, you must agree to it, there is absolutely no room for negotiation!"

"Of course, if you don't want to become Shichibukai, then disregard what I said."

Upon hearing Fleet Admiral Sengoku's request, the women exchanged glances, communicating with each other and discussing how to devise a plan to mitigate the risks for Chris.

Carina frowned slightly, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "Sending Onigumo Vice Admiral check our strength... I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Desaya nodded in agreement, saying, "We're Pirate, how could the Navy be friendly to us? There must be something fishy going on."

"Checking their strength is probably just a pretense," Robin said rationally, leaning back in his chair with his legs crossed. "The real purpose is definitely to take down Chris."

"I've been evading the Navy's pursuit for a while, so I'm quite familiar with the high-ranking officers. This Onigumo Vice Admiral is extremely powerful; he's a typical Elite Vice Admiral."

"Therefore, his purpose in coming to the Alabasta Kingdom must be to capture Chris and prevent Chris from becoming Shichibukai."

Robin looked at them, a glint of wisdom in her eyes, and said with utmost seriousness, "After all, the Shichibukai are figures who intimidate the seas. What if there's a need for replacements?"

(Nuo Zhaohao) "Then the sea will inevitably boil and become chaotic, which is not a situation the navy wants to see."

"Therefore, in order to maintain order on the seas, they will absolutely not agree to Chris becoming Shichibukai, that's beyond question."

"However, they were destined to miscalculate. After all, Chris's power was beyond their comprehension."

"In the end, all we could do was watch Chris become the new Shichibukai; there was nothing we could do to stop him."

Reiju crossed her legs, rested her delicate chin on her hand, and praised Robin, saying, "It's bloated."

"I've discovered that you're truly intelligent. No wonder you come from Holy Land for archaeology; your insight and knowledge far surpass those of ordinary people."

"As a woman myself, I truly admire you."

Baccarat smoothed her Deep Red hair, smiled gently, and said, "It's because Robin is very smart and incredibly capable."

"That's why we put her in charge of Alabasta's operations, so she could contribute to the branch's growth and development."

The others didn't say much, but nodded in unison, their eyes filled with admiration and respect for Robin...

(Please help me set up auto-subscription! Please, everyone, I'd really appreciate it! o(╥╥)o.)

Chapter 159

"Let Onigumo test my strength?"

Chris smiled faintly and said calmly, "Sengoku, you'd better not spout such nonsense!"

"Alright, after defeating Crocodile, I will await Onigumo's arrival in the Alabasta Kingdom."

"The timeframe is limited to two days; once it's over, it's gone!"

After saying that, without the slightest hesitation, he hung up the phone before Sengoku could react.

Then, she casually tossed the Den Den Mushi into the air, where it traced an arc before landing steadily on the table in front of Baccarat.

Without hesitation, he turned around, picked up the Blood Red Saber, and continued to wield it, immersing himself completely in Cultivation.

Silence.

When Chris hung up the phone, the women were all stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Chris back, somewhat unable to react.

The call ended just like that?

That call was hung up rather abruptly.

"Tsk tsk~~"

Carina was the first to react. Her beautiful eyes darted around, revealing a sly glint, and she said with a smile, "I think Fleet Admiral Sengoku is probably furious right now."

Perona floated around in the air, nodding repeatedly and letting out a melodious laugh, then said something.

"That's right, that's right, he's Fleet Admiral! He must be furious to have his lungs explode from being hung up on like that, hahahahaha..."

Honey Queen shrugged and said with a wry smile, "Chris is as fierce as ever, not even giving Fleet Admiral Sengoku any face."

Belo Betty waved the flag, calmly Cultivation Devil Fruit powers, and said, "If he weren't fierce, he wouldn't be Chris."

Alvida looked at them, blinked her beautiful eyes, and smiled elegantly, "Isn't this great? So many men!"

"He's so manly, incredibly handsome!!" Carmen looked at Chris's back with eyes full of admiration, completely impressed by Chris.

Princess Vivi brushed her light blue hair aside, a look of admiration on her pretty face, and said with a smile, "I believe that among all the Pirate in the world, only Chris would dare to do something like this."

"Even if he hung up the phone, Fleet Admiral Sengoku wouldn't dare do anything to him. He's really amazing."

Robin leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, exuding an air of intellectual elegance, and said with a slight smile, "Chris's personality is truly decisive and swift."

"These are the qualities that strong people should possess, and they are worth learning from."

"However, on the other hand, Fleet Admiral Sengoku is in a high position, so he must be very angry to have his phone hung up on."

"I really want to see what he looks like right now, whether he's so angry he's slamming his fist on the table and cursing."

Reiju, a hint of worry appearing on her stunningly beautiful face, as she spoke her thoughts.

Isn't that too arbitrary?

"After all, the other party is the supreme Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Wouldn't doing this anger him and affect our plans?"

Baccarat patted her delicate hand, poised and elegant, and said gracefully, "Don't worry, since Chris did this, there definitely won't be any problems."

"Besides, this is a dialogue between strong individuals. We are not strong enough to understand the deeper meaning behind it, so we should just remain silent."

"Anyway, Chris never does anything he's not sure of, so you can all rest assured about that."

The women all nodded in agreement with Baccarat. After all, they had always trusted Chris and never doubted him since they met him.

That was true before, it is true now, and it will be true in the future; they will always trust Chris without reservation.

There's no other reason, just because he's Chris!!
