Chapter 14 : Don't Hesitate to be Stronger!

After boarding the CP0 boat, Dylan looked at the uncomfortable CP0 who looked like he had eaten shit, and said, "Oh, don't be so stingy, not to mention that we are partners in crime now, at least we are colleagues from the world government, right?"

CP0 looked at Dylan who was lazily leaning on the deck, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Five Elders said, you have no right to mobilize CP..."

"Asking for a ride is not considered a crime, isn't it?" Dylan looked at CP0 with a smile, "Don't be so stingy, there will be plenty of room for cooperation in the future."

CP0 didn't speak anymore, silently digesting the location of the fruits that Dylan told him before, and the secrets that could get him promoted.

If what he said is true......

"By the way, what's the position of that Spandine guy." Dylan leaned on the side of the boat without looking at the CP0 agent and asked while enjoying the sun.

"Spandine...has left the CP organization, but still has some right to speak within the organization."

Although he doesn't like Dylan in his heart, due to the pressure of the Five Elders and Dylan's own strength, CP0 hesitated for a while and answered his question in a satisfactory manner. What's more, there is still a transaction between the two. If what he said is indeed true, it would just be a matter of time before he could be promoted to a higher position.

Just as Dylan was chatting with CP0, the originally calm sea suddenly turned into waves.

"Huh?" Dylan looked towards the sea and saw a familiar figure. "I didn't expect to see him here.." He muttered lowly.

"You keep sailing, I will come over later." Dylan's body turned into lightning and disappeared on the deck.

······

On the surface of the sea, Jinbei stood on the top of the waves, looking calmly at the rushing thunder.

"Yo, it looks like the octopus took my words seriously?" After Jinbei was silent for a while, he met Dylan's playful gaze before stated to plead, "Marine-san, although Arlong..."

"Although what? Although he has done a lot of bad things, he is not guilty of death?" Dylan sneered, and the way he looked at Jinbei began to change.

"If you are guilty, you are guilty. I don't distinguish between races. Needless to say, it doesn't matter if they are fishmen or human beings, I have lost count of the death in my hand, but there is only one reason behind their death - they are guilty!"

The Marine cloak behind Dylan rattled violently in the howling sea wind.

"So, Jinbei, you better control the hooligans in the fishmen island. If you can't do it, it's best if you just kill them yourself. If you wait until I make a move..."

The sea surface was howling with gusty winds, and the clouds in the sky suddenly began to swell, and countless thunderbolts shuttled and roared in the clouds.

"One or two heads wouldn't be a problem for me!"

Feeling the intertwined thunder and lightning in the air, Jinbei asked in a deep voice, "So... What about the criminals who kidnapped and trafficked our compatriots?"

"Just control violence with violence!" Dylan replied calmly.

"I understand..." Facing Dylan's aura, Jinbei, standing on the wave, nodded, "I will suggest it to Neptune. As for the hooligans you mentioned about.."

Jinbei's eyes flashed brightly, "I will finish it myself!"

"That's the best."

After speaking, Dylan's figure began to blur, and the thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipated. After a while, except for Jinbei, which was still standing on the waves, the entire sea area returned to a sunny and sunny appearance. Looking at the almost invisible sails in the distance, Jinbei was silent for a long time, still struggling in his heart.

Back on CP0's boat, Dylan sat down on the side of the boat again. CP0 took a look at him and walked into the cabin silently. With Tom, it is not easy for Dylan to use his ability to fly directly. There will still be some tricky guys on the way from Water Seven to G5.

"By the way, Tom, you are a Fishman, right?" Dylan looked at Tom who was sitting honestly beside him.

"Yes, and I am a famous one among the race." Tom grinned.

Dylan looked at Tom's chubby body. This guy can lift a ship with one hand, and his brute strength alone is not to be underestimated, let alone his martial art.

"Have you ever fought?"

"Fighting?" Tom looked at Dylan suspiciously, "I'm a famous shipbuilder, fighting is not really my thing."

"No...it's not like this..."

Dylan looked at Tom with a rare serious expression, "Possessing power and not using it lightly are two different things from not having power. Tom, in this sea, it doesn't matter whether it's a marine or a pirate, whether it is human or fishmen. Only with enough power you can live and stand up to what you believe."

"But..." Tom, who was always kind, hesitated. Although he was extremely powerful, he was really not good at fighting due to his personality. Seeing the inner conflict in the Fishman's heart, Dylan sighed and decided to use another approach.

"What do you think of my strength?"

Tom was stunned for a moment, rubbed his palm, and said, "Very powerful, it seems to be stronger than the famous Roger when he was young."

"That's right," Dylan raised his hand and clenched it into a fist, "Because I'm strong enough, I have many choices, and the world will be extra tolerant of me. Whether it's killing CP5 or keeping you alive, it's all because my mighty strength is inseparable. If I was weak today...not to mention you and Water Seven, even I myself would lose my life here."

"Silver Rayleigh, as the vice-captain of Gol D. Roger, isn't he the one who must be encircled and suppressed? Why is he still living in the Sabaody Archipelago majestically? Because he is strong enough, strong enough to make the Marine and the World government think, on the premise of him going berserk, is it worthwhile to forcibly encircle and suppress? No! That is why they decided to leave him there alone! That is the convenience brought by power!"

Seeing Tom struggling, Dylan looked at the sea, "Don't you think that if you have great power, not to mention the trash like CP5, even the World Government or those big pirates would not dare to offend you easily? And you, can you better protect your disciples and help Water Seven?"

Hearing Dylan's words, Tom fell silent, if that's the case... Maybe it's not a bad thing either. Dylan didn't need to lie to him, if Dylan didn't kill CP5 that day, it wasn't Dylan himself in the water capital. The fate of him, his disciples, and even the entire Water City will be completely different.

Tom, who was sitting cross-legged on the deck, struggled for a moment, and his breath became heavy.

"So, what should I do?"

"Use your strengths!" Dylan replied decisively, "Your affinity toward the water area as a Fishman, and your natural physical advantage, it was something that anyone on Marine would die to have. With that in mind, imagine if you polish your strength better. With the Fishman Karate and Haki, you will be a monster in the sea."

"All I want to say is, don't hesitate to be stronger!"

"Hey! CP!!" Dylan yelled into the cabin, "Come out for business!" The expressionless CP0 came out of the cabin and looked at Dylan.

"World government must have fully included the practice method of fishman karate in 800 years, right? How about it? Should I go to the Five Elders or trade with you?"

Seeing Dylan's almost rascal attitude, CP0 opened his mouth, "Indeed, what do you plan to exchange?"

Dylan rubbed his chin. Fishman Karate is actually not a difficult thing to do. There are many people who know it, but the version included in the World government is definitely the most complete. What can he trade it for?

"What about the whereabouts of the Op-Op Fruit?"

CP0's pupils shrank.

Op-Op Fruit? The fruit that the world government put a price of 5 billion belly? In exchange for a mere fishman karate training method, is that even a question?

Looking at CP0's starry eyes, Dylan laughed loudly, "Now we are on the same page! In addition to the complete fishman karate training method, I will also demand one devil fruit from the five elders. Don't try to cheat on me, because I know the worth of Op-Op fruit. So, how about that deal?"

CP0 thought about it and then nodded, "I will need to ask the five elders' permission to complete the transaction. But I don't think it would be a big problem. Op-Op fruit is something that we searched for for more than a decade. But just to be sure, I will have to call the five elders first."

"Sure, do it now."

After receiving Dylan's reply, CP0 immediately called Five Elders.

"What's up?"

It was still the blond-haired Five Elders who answered the phone. After listening to CP0's statement, Five Elders signaled CP0 to target Dylan with the Den Den Mushi.

"Op-Op Fruit is a very important fruit for us. Your request will be granted later. Tell us where the fruit is first. CP0 will accompany you to Mariejois to see what kind of fruit do you want."

Dylan nodded in satisfaction. "In the north blue, a boy named Trafalgar Law ate the fruit probably a year ago. His identity is a bit complicated, and he has some connection with Sengoku. Do you want to investigate it yourself?"

"Understood, the remaining CP organizations will verify."

Then, the Den Den Mushi goes off. Dylan looked at CP0 and smiled meaningfully, "How is it? A very good transaction that benefits both of us again, right?" CP0 was silent and finally nodded slightly.

As for Dylan, his mind wanders to a boy with the Op-Op fruit that would be one of the supernovas in the future along with the protagonist. He shook his head, snapping him from his thought. Law is a good boy. It is a pity that he wanted to become a pirate first before anyone can persuade him. But now, since he is still a teenager…..

Law...Since he wants to inherit Rosinante's will, he cannot be a pirate. The only way to do that is to be a marine and shine!
