52 Kizaru: You know, Sakazuki is my brother.
52 Kizaru: You know, Sakazuki is my brother.
To be honest, since Broly transmigrated, there haven't been many things that have left him dumbfounded, but the scene before him was definitely one of them.
He was stunned for a full half minute before he reacted, grinning and saying, "This ultimate move... is quite unexpected."
Kizaru remained kneeling, his tone a mixture of helplessness and solemnity: "Broly-san, you know, Sakazuki is my brother. We fought side by side and defeated many pirates, but the World Government's actions are simply too much for me to bear. So I've decided to pass my talent on to you."
He concluded by emphasizing, "From this day forward, I, Borsalino, am willing to serve Mr. Broly to the utmost!"
Upon hearing those familiar words, Broly couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He paced around Kizaru a couple of times, looking the admiral up and down.
In the original work, Kizaru's various perplexing behaviors have long been jokingly referred to by One Piece fans as "undercover agents," earning him the nickname "Monkey D. Kizaru."
Now it seems that it would be quite interesting if this guy really did turn against us and become an undercover agent.
"Fine, then you can go." Broly waved his hand lazily.
"what?"
Borusalino suddenly looked up.
He never expected that Broly would let him go so easily.
Logically speaking, even if the other party believes your lies, you should at least leave some evidence, such as recording with a Den Den Mushi or making a Vivre Card by cutting your nails, so that you can keep track of their movements at any time, right?
Broly looked at him, narrowed his eyes, and smiled, "Was that really necessary?"
Upon hearing this, Kizaru instantly realized what was happening, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Yes, with Broly's strength, there's no need for him to go through all this trouble.
Whether he genuinely pledged allegiance or was two-faced was of no importance to him.
If he dared to show even the slightest hint of rebellion, he could immediately storm Marineford, drag him out, and grind him to dust.
Kizaru, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was immediately drenched in a cold sweat again.
As a seasoned veteran in the workplace, he knew perfectly well that he couldn't just leave empty-handed; he had to deliberately leave evidence to prove his loyalty.
Five minutes later, the entire Kuja Pirates looked like they had seen a ghost.
Kizaru followed Broly respectfully to Granny Zagi.
He conjured a light-bladed dagger in his right hand, shaved off a piece of his thumbnail and handed it over, then gave out his Den Den Mushi number.
Having done all this, he rubbed his hands together, a fawning smile plastered on his face: "Commander, I will report any movement from the Navy or the World Government immediately!"
Broly raised an eyebrow: "Tell me if anything interesting happens, otherwise no need."
Kizaru was speechless once again.
Anyone who had planted such a high-ranking spy would probably want the spy to report even the number of times Cyborg takes a bowel movement each day.
Broly, on the other hand, had a completely "whatever" attitude.
He turned to look at the dumbfounded Toritoma, Hancock, and the others, and gave them what he thought was a friendly smile: "Everyone, from now on we'll all be colleagues under Mr. Broly. Please take good care of me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kizaru's gaze swept across the crowd and settled on a particularly conspicuous figure—Silbaz Rayleigh, whose strength was still at its peak.
"I never expected to meet Rayleigh, the second-in-command of the Roger Pirates, here."
Kizaru sighed, said nothing more, bent down to pick up Roswald Saint's head, and transformed into a golden streak of light, instantly disappearing into the horizon.
Broly originally intended to give Roswald to Kizaru as a bargaining chip for his promotion to Fleet Admiral.
Unfortunately, this guy knows too much, so we have to settle for second best: kill him and take his head back.
"Lord Broly, what... what's going on?" Torituma pointed in the direction where Kizaru had disappeared, his voice trembling, his face full of disbelief.
"Let's abandon darkness and embrace the light," Broly replied casually.
These words silenced everyone present once again.
Whether the Navy is truly secretive or not is hard to say, but Broly... I doubt he can be considered anything "open" or "open."
"That's terrifying..."
Standing in the corner, Xia Qi lit another cigarette, her voice tinged with a sigh, "To think that she could subdue a general-level combatant so easily."
Rayleigh, standing next to him, was also completely dumbfounded.
He recalled how Roger had knelt and kowtowed to persuade Kozuki Oden to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
Broly, on the other hand, recruited Kizaru, one of the world's top combatants, with just a few casual words.
How can the differences between people be so great?
It took everyone a long time to recover from their shock. Granny Za walked slowly to Broly's side, bowed, and asked, "Lord Broly, we, the Nine Serpents, wish to relocate all the inhabitants of Amazon Lily from the Calm Belt to the New World."
Ever since Hancock kicked Roswald in the back of the head in front of countless people, Kuja has completely broken ties with the World Government.
With the natural barrier of the Calm Belt alone, they were not confident that they could withstand the counterattack from the Navy and the World Government.
After much deliberation, I decided that going to the New World would be the safest option—it's the territory where powerful pirates roam freely, and the World Government's reach can't extend that far for the time being.
"Oh? That's a good thing."
Broly became interested and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Which island are you planning to occupy?"
Although there are still more than 20 years before the story officially begins, and the concept of the "Four Emperors" has not yet appeared, the territory of the New World has already been almost completely divided up.
Aside from the member states, Whitebeard's territory is centered around Sphinx Island, Kaido's is based in Wano Country, and Big Mom has established a foothold on Whole Cake Island. The three of them have each carved out large territories of influence.
The remaining scattered territories were divided up by the remnants of the Rocks Pirates—Captain John, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and the like.
"We've looked into it and think Dressrosa is a pretty good island."
Grandma's answer once again surprised Broly.
She then explained, "With our current strength, Kuja is the most confident team to take down Dressrosa."
Grandma Za knew very well that although she had managed to get on Broly's good side, she absolutely could not take advantage of this relationship to bully him.
Otherwise, the Kuja would be just another Bellamy Pirates.
Ultimately, Broly was willing to lend the flag to Kuja simply because they sent Hancock over—it was an equal exchange, nothing more.
If anyone dares to cause trouble in Broly's name, or create problems for him, Broly will probably wipe out Kuja before the Navy and the World Government even have to lift a finger.
For Kuja, Broly's existence was equivalent to a nuclear weapon.
Its deterrent power is greatest when it is not in use.
Broly was speechless after hearing this.
He certainly knew why his mother-in-law had chosen Dressrosa—the place was indeed easy to conquer now, and the only capable fighter they had was Cyrus.
The problem is, Dressrosa is so boring right now, there's nothing fun to do.
If it were Dressrosa during Doflamingo's reign, it would be somewhat interesting.
Broly pondered for a moment, then uttered a startling statement: "A nation of peace."
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Rayleigh, standing next to Shakky, suddenly changed his expression drastically.
Wano Country?
The country of Kozuki Oden, the former fourth-in-command of the Roger Pirates?
