One Piece: Master of Genes

Chapter 65: 'Persuading' the King



The maid led the way.

After turning a corner, he soon came to the outside of the study.

"This is it," The maid said in fear.

"Okay, thanks." Mio grinned.

He hit the maid's neck with the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

The maid's eyes suddenly turned white and she fainted to the ground.

Then she was supported by Mio and pushed into a room.

Then he went back to the outside of the study again and opened the door to enter.

In the study

The room was full of books. At this time, a man in a robe was sitting at the desk.

He was holding a book in his hand, and looking at it.

He did not raise his head to the sound of the door opening.

"What's matter?"

After speaking, no one answered him.

Therefore, Cobra noticed the strangeness and looked up, and when he saw Mio's face, he immediately sat up and said in horror, "It's you! The captain of the Black Crow Pirates!!"

"Black Crow Pirates? What kind of name is that?"

He was startled when he heard this, and then asked, "You know me?"

"So that's the case, the bounty ..." Before Cobra could say anything, Mio noticed the latest newspaper on his hand and the bounty on the desk.

When he stepped forward, he picked up the newspaper and read it.

At the same time, Mio patted Cobra's shoulder with his palm, and said while reading the newspaper, "Don't yell, you don't want to see someone die in this palace, do you?"

Hearing the words, a look of tension flashed in Cobra's eyes.

He originally wanted to open his mouth to call for the guards, but because of this sentence, he finally closed his mouth.

When Mio finished reading the contents of the newspaper, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He hadn't noticed before, but now he saw that his pirate group was named the Black Crow Pirates by the Marine

What the hell was this name?

Thinking about it carefully, was it possible that the names of the Pirate crews were all given by Marine?

Or was it because they didn't know the name of his pirate crew, so Marine named them arbitrarily?

That could be the case.

He guessed that Marine didn't know the name of his pirate group, so they just picked one out, right?

Even he himself doesn't know the name of his pirate group.

Regarding this, Mio was also helpless.

Since, he was always busy, he had never thought of coming up with a name for his pirate crew.

He did not expect that this problem would be solved by the Marine.

But it didn't matter what his Pirate crew's name was, Mio didn't really care.

It was just a title.

At least, Black Crow sounded good.

He also liked birds like crows.

Putting down the newspaper, Mio turned his head to look at Cobra.

He retracted his hand from Cobra's shoulder, looked around the library, and then sat on the sofa not far away.

"Since King Cobra knows me, this makes things easier. I wonder if King Cobra is willing to make a deal?"

"I'm not going to make deals with pirates." Cobra said in a deep voice immediately.

Hearing this, Mio shrugged and said, "It's very embarrassing for you to say that. Although I am different from most pirates, if you insist on this, I don't mind taking a few more lives, or dozens or hundreds of them?"

While speaking, Mio licked his lips, and the corners of his mouth rose.

"These lives may all be your people."

"What deal do you want to do?"

As a king who loved his people, Cobra was undoubtedly a good king.

At this time, he immediately compromised after hearing what Mio said.

"The transaction is simple."

Mio looked at the red wine on the table, picked it up and poured himself a glass.

He said after taking a sip, "I want to go into the tomb of the royal family of Nefertari."

"Impossible!!"

If it was an ordinary request, Cobra would still agree, but going inside the royal family's tomb.

How could it be possible for a pirate to enter?

What's more, as the king of this country, Cobra knew very well what was in there.

"Oh? King Cobra, do you mean to refuse?" Mio asked.

Hearing what Mio said, Cobra did not answer, but was silent.

Looking at the silent Cobra, Mio chuckled lightly, raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass.

Then, with a 'bang', the wine glass was placed heavily on the table by Mio.

The loud sound made the tangled Cobra come back to his senses.

Mio said coldly, "King Cobra, I have to remind you that I am a pirate."

"It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. I came to you just to avoid trouble, or do you think that piece of historical text in the tomb of the Nefertari royal family is unknown?"

"What?"

Mio's words made Cobra's eyes widen and he looked at Mio in horror.

"How do you know what's in there?"

"How I know it is not important, but does the World government know? I think this is the point?" Mio grinned.

Cobra took a deep breath, as he calmed down.

"It seems that you are here specifically for the historical text, and are you planning to use the World government to threaten me?"

"No, I don't have this idea." Mio shook his head slightly.

Cobra didn't believe Mio's words, and just calmly said, "Even if the World government knows that there is a historical text in the royal tomb, so what? Alabasta is not Ohara, and doesn't have the ability to study historical texts."

"What's more, I think even if the World government knows about this, they will not take action against the Nefertari family."

This was the confidence of Cobra as the descendant of the king who had contributed to the World government.

Even though the World government may no longer value this point now, Alabasta was also a member of the World government.

It would not be heavily targeted by the World government.

But the next moment, Mio's words made Cobra drip sweat.

"If I preach what is recorded in the historical text in the Nefertari royal tomb is not the blank one-hundred-year history 800 years ago, but the location of Pluton, one of the Ancient Weapons?"

There was a sneer at the corner of Mio's mouth.

"How do you think the World government will treat you once it learns that there is a piece of historical text inside Alabasta that records the location of Pluton, which is rumored to be able to destroy an island in one shot?"

"Do you think they will not doubt that Nefertari has the idea of ​​overthrowing the World government?"

After speaking, Mio looked at Cobra quietly, and waited for Cobra's response with a sneer.
