One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 253 2 things

Due to emergencies, this Gourmet Island Food Competition became the only competition in the past 300 years that ended hastily without a winner or a "special chef". Moreover, due to the scandal of conspiracy to frame contestants, the reputation of Food Island has been seriously damaged. It is not yet known whether the food competition can continue in the future.

Lucky Lu finally got on the red-haired boat.

"That's it..." he said, looking at Lakilu who was thanking Profic, accompanied by Shanks, "but does it really not matter? Your father's restaurant should be in need of manpower right now, right?"

Lucky Lu said with a smile: "I have already talked to my father through the phone, and my father said there is no problem. His old guys have also come back to help rebuild the restaurant... Moreover, my father told me that I must repay the favor. Boss and your great kindness..."

Speaking of repayment, Lucky Lu lowered his head shyly. Joining the Red-Haired Pirates was indeed a way to repay Shanks' "favour", but in terms of redressing his injustice, Profic's efforts may not have been enough. Just less than Shanks. At least, Shanks' ability probably wouldn't let everyone know the truth of the matter. But he didn't know how to repay Profik's kindness.

"Lord Profic," Shanks, standing next to Lucky Lu, said solemnly, "The Red-Haired Pirates will always remember your help."

"That's not necessary," Profik said, not intending to keep this "favor", big or small. This is not because he can't believe Shanks's promise. The red-haired man is at least relatively trustworthy among the pirate community. It was because he had a lot of things to say to Shanks, "I had something I wanted to discuss with you, so I just took this opportunity to speak."

Shanks said carelessly: "You can say it, but if you want to capture me into Impel Down, I won't agree."

"Of course not..." Profik waved his hand, "It's just that I have two things to ask you. The first thing is the official business of the King Shichibukai——"

Profic said solemnly: "On behalf of the World Government and the Five Old Stars, I recruit the 'Red Haired Pirates' to join the 'Ocean's Shichibukai'. Now, on behalf of the World Government, I will tell you about the 'Ocean's Shichibukai' Rights and obligations..."

"Okay," Shanks waved his hand nonchalantly, "I don't want to be a Shichibukai!"

"Hey, Captain, you have to listen to what others have to say." Beckman was speechless on the side. Being invited to join the King's Shichibukai is a big deal, even with the current strength of the Red-haired Pirates. As for the coffee position, you have to discuss it carefully before making a decision.

What Beckman didn't expect was that Profik seemed to have expected it and skipped the topic. "Sure enough, you will be rejected...but this is natural, right?"

Profic was not surprised by Shanks's rejection. After all, he was a man who pursued "freedom" on the sea, and he must not be willing to accept the constraints of the King's Shichibukai system. And his purpose of finding Shanks was not really to invite him as the "King Shichibukai", but to plan with Shanks to unseat Kaido.

"Shanks, I want to ally with you red-haired pirates, and together we can bring down 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido!"

That's right, Profic has made up his mind to make Kaido his next target.

It's not that he has great ambitions, he can't wait to start a full-scale war with the Four Emperors. But it was because provoking a Yonko was so dangerous that he couldn't even sleep. What if one day while eating hot pot and singing a song, a giant dragon flies from the sky, raises its hand and sends out dragon breath, that would be a big deal.

Instead of being frightened and afraid that Kaido will come to your door every day, it is better to come to your door yourself. In this way, we can gain some initiative, and at least we can bring a few allies to fight with them.

As for how to persuade Shanks, Profik also had an idea in mind.

"Boss, we promise Mr. Profic..." Lucky Lu, who had just joined the red-haired pirates, had always wanted a chance to repay Profic. When the time came, he wanted to persuade Shanks to agree. But he was stopped by Beckman.

As the second-in-command of the red-haired pirates and the think tank on the ship, Beckman thinks much more deeply than Lucky Lu, and has a much deeper understanding of the "Pirate Alliance".

Lucky Lu may feel that if the two have a good relationship, the pirate groups on both sides can "naturally" form an alliance.

But in fact, alliance is not that simple. Forming an alliance is a very serious matter. Both parties in the alliance must have the same goals, sufficient trust, and sufficient understanding. But these things are not available between the red-haired pirates and Profik.

Of course, there are also some pirate alliances formed purely for common interests. Such as the alliance between Kidd, Hawkins and Apu. But such an alliance carries greater risks. There is intrigue among allies, and if there are enough interests, they will face the risk of betrayal at any time. There will even be undercover agents like Apu who are inserted by other forces.

Beckman felt that with his captain's temperament, it was okay to take risks freely on the sea, but he probably wouldn't be able to form an alliance.

"Well," Shanks' little head didn't seem to be able to understand the meaning of forming an alliance and pulling Kaido down. In his opinion, there was no rush to challenge the Four Emperors, and it made no difference which of the Four Emperors he pulled down.

However, Shanks had a good impression of Profik. He scratched his head and said with a smile, "Whenever I challenge the Four Emperors, I will call you!"

"You misunderstood what I meant. I have a plan that can bring down Kaido among the Four Emperors..."

"Shanks," Beckman warned, stopping Profik's "bewitchment" in time, "don't forget, we are not ready to confront the 'Four Emperors' yet."

Hearing Beckman's words, Shanks nodded and said to Profic: "I'm sorry, it seems that we can't form an alliance... But the promise just now is still valid. If you are willing to wait for a while, I will When I challenge the Four Emperors, I will take you with me!"

Shanks is naturally not in a hurry to challenge the Four Emperors. In fact, according to the direction of the original work, it will still be ten years before Shanks becomes the Four Emperors. As for the past ten years, Profic felt that Shanks might have been looking for the "Joyboy" the captain was waiting for while improving his own strength, waiting until the time was right to attack the throne of the Yonko.

But Profik was not willing to wait patiently for that long. Of course he is not opposed to waiting, but if the time is right, he is willing to realize his preliminary plan as quickly as possible. After all, the last thing you need to change the world is time.

"I thought that the crew members of the Roger Pirates were all good men, so I was willing to make friends with them," Profic stood up and prepared to leave, "but I didn't expect that Shanks was actually a coward!"
