Chapter 26: I'm just not afraid
Just after the stream of light that seemed to be carrying gravel swept across Lafitte...
In Lafitte's vision, the speed of his target suddenly became very fast this time. He took a step towards the side at a speed similar to lightning and flashed light, and easily dodged his sword. Even the demonic daughter Nicole Robin, who was standing beside him, hid in the corner of the room like a flash.
Unlike Lafitte, in Nicole Robin's view, with the light that seemed like gravel, the devil sheriff Lafitte, who was so fast that her eyes could not keep up with, suddenly slowed down, as if the air around him suddenly turned into a sticky mud. Then Kong Ming just took a calm step towards the side and dodged his attack!
"Miss Robin..." Kong Ming turned his head and signaled to the corner of the room.
“Okay… OK…”
Nicole Robin ran to the back of a stone pillar in the corner of the room without hesitation.
"It's really blue..."
With Kong Ming's regretful words, Lafitte's speed returned to normal again.
Lafitte, who had a sword, stopped four or five meters beside Kong Ming. With a crack, he inserted the stabbing sword in his hand into the scabbard and turned into something like a cane.
"Is that your fruit ability just now?"
Lafitte's mouth bent slightly, "Although I don't know whether it's slowing down or making you faster, no matter which one it is, it's a terrible ability!"
"Is that true?" Kong Ming held one hand on his glasses, and held the pyramid-like thing on his other hand.
"Of course! If you took the opportunity to attack, even if you were on the ground... I'm afraid you would be injured!" Lafitte's cane turned around in front of him and danced two tap dance steps under his feet. "But you didn't take the opportunity to attack, which surprised me a little!"
"Because I admire you very much," Kongming looked at Lafitte and said in a very honest tone, "How about it, Mr. Lafitte, the famous devil sheriff, should you come to my boat?"
"Your Excellency, this is..." Lafitte tilted his head and said in a somewhat surprised tone, "Do you want to recruit me?"
"Of course!" Kong Ming replied without hesitation, "My Azeroth Chamber of Commerce is now short of capable talents like you, Lafitte!"
"Although you are sincere, please allow me to refuse..."
Lafitte took a step back and bowed slightly, "I don't want to enter a chamber of commerce and do some things to do. Although these are a bit disrespectful, the captain must be a real man with ambitions and a career, rather than a traitor."
"Is that true?" Kong Ming nodded slightly.
In other words, in the original history, it was not that Blackbeard had taken a fancy to Lafitte, but that Lafitte chose Blackbeard?
"Although I don't want to brag," Kong Ming took his hand off his glasses. "But I feel that I am a person with ambitions and want to do something big. How about it, Lafitte, should I come to my boat first?"
“Oh hahaha…”
Lafitte seemed to have been hit by Kong Ming's words, and actually made a burst of crisp laughter.
"Sorry... haha... I didn't mean it!"
Lafitte waved his hand at Kong Ming, "If you are a pirate, you can say that you want to become One Piece. If you are a navy or other profession, you can also say that you want to kill the Pirate Emperor, but I really can't think of what a businessman's ambition or a great cause? Do you want to make all the money in the world?"
"Being able to say these words means that you are very lacking in economics..."
Kong Ming replied very seriously about Lafitte's jokes, "In fact, in any society, the economy is the most important part. The economy determines politics and the economy determines war. If I can really control all the money in this world, then I will control the whole world!"
"I'm sorry..." Lafitte's cane was spinning, and he danced a few dance steps under his feet. "But I don't have much interest in making money, so I can only refuse your kindness."
Just when everyone was attracted by Lafitte's actions, Lafitte had taken this opportunity to quietly move himself to a place more than two meters away from Kong Ming.
Swish!
Lafitte once again pulled out his sting sword, held a sword flower in his hand, stabbed two swords at Kong Mingxu, and inserted his sting sword into his cane again.
"Your Excellency Kong Ming, you were so careless that you just let me walk so close to you. If I had just sneaked you into a sneak attack, the mission I was going to be completed now. However, since you used your fruit ability to control me and did not take the opportunity to attack after I got it, I would not take advantage of anyone's danger now."
"Then I'll thank you..." Kong Ming answered calmly.
"Looking at the complete appearance of Your Excellency Kong Ming, I seem to be completely unwilling to care," Lafitte's cane turned in the air. "It seems that you are very confident in yourself...or rather, you trust me so much, and I think I will definitely not attack you?"
Kong Ming nodded slightly, "I do trust Lafitte's ethics...but the reason why I dare to let you get so close to me is just..."
With Kong Ming's voice, a tall blonde figure wearing Wano Country costume had already broken through the roof of the first floor and landed between Kong Ming and Lafitte with a bang.
“…I’m just confident!”
"Four-eyed boy..." The blonde figure turned his head and said angrily, "Didn't you promised me that you wouldn't control me casually?"
"Then you explain to me first, Lord Ski!" Kong Ming replied calmly, "Why can the 'Devil Sheriff' in front of you slip into this room from under your nose and overhear my conversation?"
Jin Lion Shi Jili answered with confidence. "The order you gave me is to watch the person running out of the house, and not to prevent people outside from entering the house..."
"Then I'm not controlling you casually," Kong Ming said calmly, "Didn't you see that the enemy has attacked me? I'm very scared!"
"You timid guy, you can resist shells with protective shields on your body. What are you afraid of?" Jin Lion replied angrily.
"I'm afraid that Lord Ski, you can play a word game with me..." Kong Ming replied calmly.
“…”
"Blonde, double swords, Lord Ski... Is this Golden Lion Ski? That legendary pirate?" When seeing the appearance of Golden Lion Ski, Lafitte, who was calm and composed, exclaimed, "I was wondering before I came in, why didn't I see anyone guarding outside the house? It turned out..."
"So the guardian is on top of your head, right..."
After hearing this, the Golden Lion Ski turned his head and looked down at the 'Devil Sheriff' Lafitte, "Boy, you discovered a secret that should not be discovered, so... die for me, Lion Qianche Valley!"
