Chapter 226

“El, what do you mean?” Just when Morgans continuously dropped the bomb all over the world that attract countless people’s attention to the City in the sky.

On the Bubble city, the main capital of the City in the Sky, on the manor located on the top of the mountain which is much higher than Doflamingo’s King’s Plateau, two-digit Kuja warriors were stationed around acting as guards.

In an excessively ornamented study room, El is confronting the Five Elders who represent the highest power in the world on the bright side.

Looking at the Den Mushi Mushi simulating the expression of a certain Elders. El smiled and teased him. “Why are you showing such an angry expression, Your Excellencies, is it because the way my City in the Sky operates affects the toll that you receive?”

“You should know very well this little loss is not worth mentioning to us at all.”

“My City in the Sky only travels around the four seas and the first and second half of the grand line once every six months, which does not have much impact on you.”

“El, don’t change the subject, we need an explanation. ”

“The Seven Warlords of the Sea is a legitimate pirate that we appointed after selecting from countless pirates in order to create a balance on the sea, and we have only collected six so far, then without saying a word, you suddenly make the Pirate empress, Boa Hancock your affiliated force, which has seriously damaged the reputation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Making one of the three major forces that balance the sea… no longer has enough reputation to act as a deterrent…”

Looking at the Den Mushi Mushi that’s constantly changing expression and tone while copying the expression of the Five elders, the smile on El’s face gradually converged and he replied lightly with a nonchalant look.

“Your Excellencies, please pay attention to your words.”

“My relationship with you is, at best, only a partnership, aside from this… we both regard each other as a big enemy, that we can’t wait to get rid of.”

“Whatever I do is my own freedom, and I don’t need to give you any explanation at all.”

“I only took Boa Hancock under my command and built the City in the Sky for business, so you should feel lucky.”

“At least I don’t have a ‘D’ in my name and Nico Robin who can read Poneglyph are also under my command but I’m not interested in reading Poneglyph, so I won’t be your eternal enemy…”

“So, you just need to maintain your own rule and don’t let that hand extend so far…”

Hearing El’s words that were almost pointed out, the Five Elders fell into silence.

After a moment of silence, a certain Elders speak in a deep voice. “I didn’t expect you to know so many secrets about the world at such a young age.”

“It’s normal because, in addition to my physique and swordsmanship talent, I also have another ability that only a few people know.”

El didn’t mind revealing his third ability. “I was born with extremely strong observation haki and mind reading just like Redfield.”

“This is the reason why I know so many secrets about the world at a young age, so don’t waste your efforts arranging some spies to infiltrate my city in the sky, otherwise you will only lose your resources in vain.”

Hearing El’s words, the Five Elders fell again to silence.

The silence this time was not because El was more favored by the world than Charlotte Linlin, but because El’s confidence make their scalp tingle.

What kind of confidence does El have to allow him to reveal his information without hesitation?

At this moment, the five Elders have to admit that they are indeed lucky, as El said, they should be glad that the other party is not a member of the ‘D’ family but a hedonist person.

Thinking of this, the tone of a certain elder also slowed down and he reply without blinking. “You misunderstood, we never thought of putting eyeliner in your territory.”

In response, El just returned a smile that the Elder did not understand.

Although he didn’t understand the meaning of this smile, the Five Old Stars could also see the mockery on El’s face through the simulated expressions on the Den Mushi Mushi.

But he didn’t care, instead, he changed the subject. “We will just create a story about Boa Hancock, the Celestial Dragon on Mary Geoise’s also saw your City in the sky advertisement, they pressed me to ask you, can your City in the sky get a little closer to Mary Geoise when flying over the red line, so that the Celestial Dragon can also board it?”

“I’m sorry, my City in the Sky does not accept the arrival of the Celestial Dragon.” El refused without hesitation. “I am the person who hates trouble, so I am too lazy to gather the four Road Poneglyphs even if I can freely travel the world, similarly, what are the virtues of the Celestial Dragon, you should know it better than me.”

“My City in the Sky welcomes the arrival of the black market, and the tax payment of these various forces is enough to make me one of the richest people in the world, so I don’t need the consumption from the Celestial Dragon and don’t have time to take care of those people.”

“If you can guarantee that if the Celestial Dragon board the City in the Sky and they are beaten or assassinated on the same day and you won’t send an admiral to arrest people causing my reputation to be damaged, then I don’t mind flying closer to Mary Geoise when I fly over the Red line.”

In the eyes of the Five Elders, El’s words were very rebellious.

If these words came out of their own subordinate mouths, even if the other party was an Admiral or even fleet admiral, the Five Elders would reprimand them without giving any face.

However, these words came from the mouth of a pirate, no matter how angry the Five Elders were they can only swallow their dissatisfaction.

“That being the case… then let it go.” Seeing El’s refusal was so direct that give them no room to maneuver, the certain Elders only frowned, he was also a very reasonable person.

After all, the character of those Celestial Dragons, he is also very clear.

After the confrontation, the Five Elders and El had nothing more to say.

After chatting about a few more irrelevant topics, El hung up the call with the Five Elders.

“Using reason is really troublesome, can’t be helped, my strength is not enough after all.”

After watching the Den Mushi Mushi hang its head, El said something that strange in the eyes of others, but to him, it came from the bottom of his heart. “Joker, I hope you live up to my expectations.”
