127 Liam's Version of Cross Guild

Hiss!

Everyone sucked cold air and deeply stared at Liam.

They didn't expect Liam to be so ruthless. He even smiled like a devil.

Liam just shrugged his shoulders and said.

"What? Compared to me, that man is a hundred times more ruthless. At least, I won't attack an innocent person without a reason. That man will kill marines from his own faction if they can make a proper sacrifice."

"Whether it is for this reason or from Robin's hatred, we have more than enough reasons to hate him and cripple that guy. Of course, we still need to improve before we can truly do that, especially Zoro and Sanji."

Hearing his words, everyone nodded their heads. Robin clenched her fists and looked at Liam with grateful eyes.

"Thank you, Liam!"

"You are our partner, Robin. We can't take revenge on Marines since they were just following orders but I promise you that we will defiantly take revenge on Akainu, World Government, and more importantly that Spandine."

Liam spoke with a serious expression.

When Robin heard that name, she looked at him with shock for a moment but she quickly understood how he knew the name.

Liam always knew everything. So, it shouldn't be a surprise. But, knowing this, only made her even more grateful.

"Yes Robin, we will definitely take revenge for you." Nami also nodded her head and spoke.

"Robin, if you have anything to say, don't hesitate. We will definitely help you." Luffy nodded his head and spoke.

"Yes, Robin-Chaun, I will definitely do anything for you." Sanji's legs turned into a whirlwind as he spun around Robin.

"Thank you, everyone!" Robin finally couldn't help but tear up.

After Robin calmed down a little, Zoro asked.

"What about CP agents?"

"We exactly need money for them. Unlike Marines, we can't recruit them. We must destroy them completely. But, there are nine different factions and each faction has its own number of agents."

"Of course, we can defeat them but it didn't mean we need to fight them. We can just put our focus on World Government while we can let other people such as pirates take care of CP agents."

Liam mysteriously smiled and answered.

"But how?" Nami asked suspiciously. For some reason, she felt like she was going to lose a lot of money.

"Money, of course! I plan to establish an organization called 'Cross Guild'. Except we will not be the one running it." Liam finally revealed his true intention and spoke with a solemn voice.

"Huh? I can't understand anything." Luffy rubbed his head. He did understand some things before like Robin's hatred and revenge but now he was getting lost even more.

"Even we can't understand, Captain." Usopp rolled his eyes and spoke.

"Yeah, I have no idea where he is going with this. Can you explain it clearly?" Sanji frowned and asked.

Suddenly, Robin's pupils instantly shrunk as she guessed something and asked.

"Wait, are you planning to put a bounty on CP agents' heads?"

"Not just CP agents. How do you think they accompany most of the time?" Liam asked.

"Celestial Dragon! Oh my god, you plan to put a bounty on celestial dragons?" Robin's voice was so loud that it almost came out of the ship.

Everyone except Chopper and Luffy looked at Liam in desperate shock.

They all understood just how revered Celestial Dragons are especially Robin.

So, hearing this plan, everyone almost fell to the ground in shock.

But, unexpectedly to their surprise, Liam just showed a calm expression and said.

"Not just a bounty but a bounty of One Billion Berries."

When Liam revealed the amount, the one who freaked out the most was Nami.

"Liam, what are you talking about?"

Bang!

"Do you even know how much that means? Do you have any idea what it takes to get so much money? Please tell me all of this is just a joke." Nami fiercely shook his collar after smashing his head and cried in front of him.

"You truly are a greedy person. But, don't worry, we won't lose money at all. Right now, we have a wealth of almost Five Billion Berries. After we enter New World, we will either take down Gild Tesoro or work with him."

"He holds the total of twenty percent of the wealth in the entire world. With his support, we will have more than enough wealth to support Cross Guild."

Liam explained without even caring about that punch.

On the other hand, Robin asked.

"Liam, you just said that we won't be the ones running it. So, who will run this organization? If we target the World Government, they will definitely use everything they have to suppress us."

Hearing his words, cautious people like Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Vivi, and Nami simultaneously nodded their heads.

"Some of the most powerful and the worst pirates in the history. World's Greatest Swordsman Mihawk, the man who was equal to Silverbz Rayleigh, Douglas Bullet, the man who rivaled Roger and Whitebeard, Patrick Redfield."

"The most beautiful woman in the world, Boa Hancock, and last but not the least, the owner of Haki of Luck, the most misunderstood pirate by the world, Buggy D Clown."

When Liam revealed the famous names, everyone was getting more and more excited.

Zoro hearing the name of Mihawk was most excited.

Others didn't know much but just hearing the rivals of Rayleigh and Roger made their blood boil. They understood that these people weren't weak at all.

Sanji was completely surprised and pleased by the name of the most beautiful woman in the world Boa Hancock.

But, everyone's expression drastically dropped as they fell to the ground when they heard Buggy's name.

"Why him?" Luffy, Zoro, and Nami looked at Liam simultaneously and asked with confused expressions.

"Who is Buggy? On the other hand, Chopper, Robin, and Vivi were completely unknown to this pirate.

Usopp didn't react much. He knew a thing or two about Buggy but he wasn't that impressed.

"Because he can become the most misunderstood person in the world." Liam smiled and replied.

"Luffy, if you are not careful, he can become a pirate king before you."

"What? Impossible! I won't lose to that moron." Luffy desperately shook his head and shouted.

"Yeah, Buggy is just an idiot. It impossible for him to become a Pirate King." Nami also supported Luffy this time.

"Liam, are you sure you are okay?" Zoro couldn't help but ask.

"Guys, listen to his words carefully. He said Buggy might be the most misunderstood person in the world. I think he meant that Buggy was misunderstood by everyone else."

Robin calmly analyzed his words and spoke.

"Sure enough, only you can understand this." Liam smiled and answered.

"So, are you telling us that he might become a Pirate King through a series of misunderstandings?" Sanji asked.

"After staying with Luffy for so long, don't you understand one truth? The background is extremely important in this sea."

"Luffy's background is extremely powerful but Buggy's background isn't that bad. Don't forget he was the crew member of Roger Pirates. The most popular and honored pirate crew in the sea is the Roger crew."

"Not to mention, he and Shanks are also friends. So, as long as the people know about his background, they would obviously want to follow him. So, if he is accompanied by a series of misunderstandings after that, will it be hard for him to become a big shot?"

Hearing this question, everyone looked at their captain and found that it actually made sense.

Although they didn't follow them because of his background, there are a lot of people who would definitely follow him if they knew about his background.

"More importantly, I only want him to become the figurehead. The main powerhouses are still going to be Mihawk, Bullet, Redfield, and Hancock."

Zoro frowned and said.

"I don't think Mihawk will join this organization. He is a Shichibukai."

"Hancock is also a Shichibukai. It is impossible for them to join this organization."

Robin nodded her head and supported Zoro's statement.

"What if Shichibukai no longer exists?"

When he asked this question, everyone suddenly became silent. Normally, it would be impossible but the person who was talking about it was none other than Liam.

"Did you forget what I told you about Seraphim? Once Seraphim Project is completed, World Government would only need one motivation to completely cut off the Shichibukai system."

"And, we just have a chance to make that opportunity. Because there is another country currently ruled by a pirate, a country that has become what Alabasta would've become without us."

As soon as he said that, everyone instantly understood everything except for Luffy obviously. Even Chopper was able to understand a lot of it.

After all, he was naive, not dumb.

After a long silence, Robin finally opened her mouth.

"Liam, you truly are one heck of a planner. I am just terrified to be your enemy."

Everyone nodded their heads at this statement even Luffy did the same.

Liam rolled his eyes and said.

"Well, then you should be glad that you are not my enemy."
