Chapter 439 Accident
Chapter 439 Accident
"Profek, you saved my life. I have a promise. As long as you don't harm my sons, you can take my life anytime you want!"
"Even if I die, the promise will still stand!"
Whitebeard's moral concepts are of a rather confused type, or in other words, the principles he follows are never "moral bottom line" but "benevolence and righteousness" on the sea.
There is no greater favor than saving a life.
The moment he felt his body recover, Whitebeard had already made up his mind to "sell" his life to Profek.
Whether it's murder and arson, fighting with the World Government, or the secret of Raftel, it doesn't matter.
As long as he doesn't hurt his sons, and as long as he doesn't touch upon "family affection", which is the greatest virtue in Whitebeard's eyes, Profek will let him do anything!
Most of the old-school pirates, such as Roger, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion, are like this. Although they have different personalities and pursuits, the underlying logic of their actions is based on their own judgment and persistence, rather than social standards.
Perhaps it is because of this that they can constantly break through the limits of their strength and reach the pinnacle of the ocean.
It is for this reason that Roger slaughtered an entire country's soldiers for his companions, yet could become friends with Whitebeard.
It was for this reason that Golden Lion broke into the Navy Headquarters alone and caused a big commotion in order to find out the whereabouts of Roger.
In short, such a person can be friends with him, can be a stranger with him, can be his enemy, can be shown kindness to him, but he must never make an enemy with him.
To their friends and benefactors, they naturally have nothing to say. Strong strangers will not be dangerous. Even if they are enemies, they may be like Garp and Roger, or Whitebeard and Roger, and they may show mutual respect.
But if you make an enemy with them, then the fight will never end.
Such a guy has unique personal charm, but he is also a serious destabilizing factor in this ocean.
"Of course," Marco said immediately, "From today on, Lord Profek is the great benefactor of the Whitebeard Pirates! I will go through fire and water for you!"
Marco's idea is even simpler. Profek saved Whitebeard's life, so he is Whitebeard's benefactor, and also the benefactor of the Whitebeard Pirates. As long as the benefactor asks, there is nothing he can't do.
Profek agreed to Whitebeard's proposal and exchanged a promise for Whitebeard's life, which benefited both parties.
Profek really needs the help of the Whitebeard Pirates at critical moments. Such a powerful force, especially the top combat power of the "strongest man in the world", can influence and even determine the final outcome.
Before leaving, Profek sent Marco and Vista away and talked to Whitebeard alone.
"Mr. Whitebeard, what I am about to say may displease you... If I remember correctly, there is a man named Teach on the Moby Dick. Pay more attention to him, and you will find something..."
"impossible!"
Whitebeard's answer was firm and decisive.
Profek didn't say much. After reminding Whitebeard to be more careful, he said goodbye and left, leaving Whitebeard with a gloomy expression.
Profek had saved his life, there was no need to cheat on such a thing.
But Teach, Teach is his son!
A father cannot, is unwilling to, and will not doubt his son!
……
"Profek is suspected of having contact with the Whitebeard Pirates?"
"Yes, my Lords," the agent reported, "our men witnessed Marco entering Wano Country, almost certainly coming into contact with Proficient, and then leaving."
"Also, it has been confirmed that the Biful has quietly left Wano Country!"
"With Profik's strength...it's no problem to take down 'Phoenix' Marco."
"They actually blatantly contacted the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"Can we take this opportunity to deprive Profek of his position as 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'?"
"That might make Mihawk uneasy..."
The Five Elders were discussing the important information passed back by the agent who "risked his life" to sneak into Wano Country.
They all agreed that Prophik must be secretly contacting the Four Emperors behind the World Government's back.
"Vegapunk's 'Seraph' has been basically developed." Satan Saint dropped a bombshell, "The 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' are no longer useful to us. This 'system' can be abolished. There is no need to consider that guy's attitude anymore."
Seraph, the highest crystallization of bloodline factor and cyborg technology, also combines the ability of devil fruit and the bloodline of Lunaria family, and has extremely strong combat power. Moreover, the World Government has full control authority and can completely use them to replace the role of "Seven Warlords of the Sea".
"It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. Although the complete abolition of the Shichibukai system will require the World Conference next year..." Saint Wolchuli, "but we must deal with Prophik without delay."
"The research on the Holy Mother's Flame has been basically completed. Vegapunk has always been dishonest... Many years ago, he had contact with the guy 'Dragon' and even attempted to study the 'Blank Hundred Years'! It's best to wipe them out together!" There was no emotion in Saint Satan's eyes. Even the world's top scientists were no different from ants in the eyes of the Five Elders.
"Then notify Zhan Guo to prepare for the expedition."
Makas Maz Saint said.
He is a "moderate" among the Five Elders, and has a favorable impression of talents like Vegapunk and "model Shichibukai" like Prophik.
The so-called "contact with the Four Emperors" is just an excuse - who doesn't know that Profek sends countless gifts to the Four Emperors of the New World and the emperors of the Underworld every year to maintain the safety of trade routes?
But the removal of Prophik was an order given by Lord Im himself, and as one of the Five Elder Stars, he had to do his best to carry out the order.
Using the excuse of secretly contacting the Four Emperors to deprive Prophik of his position as a Shichibukai is, at the moment, the best option.
The Den Den Mushi on the table rang rapidly. It was the exclusive Den Den Mushi of the Five Elder Stars. Except for the Celestial Dragons, those who could dial this Den Den Mushi were all important figures in the government.
Shepard ten Peter Saint picked up the Den Den Mushi, and the voice of the Navy Headquarters' communicator came from the other end.
"Navy Headquarters has been invaded!"
"The intruder is..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, the Five Elders heard a scream.
"ah!!--"
Then, there was a click and the Den Den Mushi was hung up.
No, from the sound, it sounded like the call was not "hung up" so much as it was like the Den Den Mushi was crushed by something and lost its ability to make calls.
The expressions of the Five Elders suddenly changed.
