Chapter 55: Persuasion Check: Failed

Too many people were surprised by what he did. Has this man turned the outside world upside down?

Kong and Sengoku turned a deaf ear to the prisoners interrogating each other, their focus always only on Lucas!

Lucas sat on the sofa with one hand on his cheek, tilting his head trying to get comfy, while smiling.

"The ghosts in the Holy Land and the ghosts in the Navy Headquarters? What are you talking about?" Lucas asked.

"Do you mean the ghost has nothing to do with you?" Kong asked in a low voice.

He didn't believe that it had nothing to do with the person in front of him. He wasn't sure about that, but when he saw Lucas pass through the prison, he couldn't say that Lucas wasn't a ghost with that strange ability.

At this moment, Kong is convinced that the unsettling events on the Holy Land and the Navy Headquarters must have something to do with Lucas. And he needs to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the Holy Land and the Navy Headquarters will continue to sustain casualties... It is estimated that most of them will not be able to hide these tragedies, and the day when the true news of the events leaks out, these people will be reduced to a big joke!

"I came with sincerity," Kong said, looking at Lucas from the side of the iron bars, "Lucas, I think these things have something to do with you. There is no reason why we should be hostile to each other. I hope you consider the matter seriously."

Lucas lifted the wine glass, took a sip of the glistening red wine, and indicated to Sengoku if they would like a drink too. The corner of Sengoku's mouth twitched.

Normally, he wouldn't accept anything from a prisoner like Lucas. But... now he wants to have a good relationship with Lucas.

"Don't you want some? It's such good wine," Lucas commented on his own.

"What is your answer?" Kong asked again; he must resolve the Navy Headquarters and the Holy Land's trouble.

"I don't think so," Lucas replied, putting down the wine glass and raising his eyes to look at Sengoku and Kong on the other side of the iron bars.

"Don't bother asking me again... I don't think you're sincere with what you said," Lucas replied.

Sengoku's face cramped up, and Kong narrowed his eyes at him.

'Still not sincere? The Marine admiral and the commander-in-chief of the entire navy are here. Isn't that sincere enough?' grumbled Kong in his head.

"Let the Gorosei come themselves," Lucas said while laying down and enjoying his wine.

At this moment, Kong's pupils contracted with fury, but he quickly calmed down.

"I will convey your words to the Gorosei, but I hope you can think about what I said," Kong conveyed to Lucas his false sincerity before he turned and left.

Sengoku and Magellan kept silent during the exchange before turning around and leaving after him. The prisoners around them don't care about them, and they all focus on Lucas.

At this moment, the wall of the cell next to Lucas started making a ruckus, before long everyone else started talking about what just happened in front of them.

"Hey, hey, hey, Lucas, did something go wrong with the Navy Headquarters and the Holy Land of Mariejois? Was it really you? Did you do it?" someone asked.

"How could he have done it? Although there is a bunch of idiotic Celestial Dragons in Mariejois, the defenses are so strict that not even a mosquito can get in," said another prisoner.

"Not necessarily, Former Fleet Admiral Kong is here, and the Cypher Pol guys who died in the interrogation room, they are all very skilled… oh, oh, oh… I finally understand it somewhat, Lucas… amazing, unexpectedly made such a big move, Mariejois and the Navy Headquarters are in trouble," said a figure strapped to the wall, laughing excitedly at the end, with a crazy and horrible expression on their face.

Editor: I know, I know, I barely update, but hey, i'm just that lazy, i tried to tell myself to edit, but eh, i space out and do something else, seems like my mind perceive this as work, so of course it will delay it.

and it seems like my source stopped updating after 189 chapters, 28 days ago, was it my fault there are no more chapters? I mean I did credit him so you guys go to his fanfic.
