One Piece: Roar of Justice

"Perhaps we can give you such a chance."

Zebra said calmly, but these words caused an uproar in Durant's mind.

".Um?"

Hearing Zebra's words, Durant raised his eyelids and looked at Zebra.

"You? Hehe, stop joking."

Although Durant is a little drunk now, he still maintains a basic sobriety, and his ability to judge. Obviously, he does not believe in Zebra.

But Zebra just smiled, and Durant's reaction was within his expectations.

"To tell you the truth, we were responsible for the case in Bivis Town a few days ago."

"Oh, sure enough."

Durant laughed, poured himself another glass of wine, and said.

Seeing Durant's reaction, Zebra raised his eyebrows and said without much surprise.

"It seems that the events of the day have made you discover something."

"Ah, after all, I'm the sheriff here. I was there when the homicide happened in Bivis Town. The wound on Yixiu Zac's body is exactly the same as that unlucky thug this afternoon. I just have this kind of suspicion. That’s all, but now that you’ve admitted it, I don’t need to pretend anymore.”

"This is the original purpose of your visit, Zebra."

At this time, Durant calmed down instead, the flush on his face gradually receded, and Mr. Zebra in his mouth became a simple Zebra.

"Are you here to kill me?"

It is not so much a kind of magnanimity, it is better to say that Durant is now in a situation of abandoning himself. He knows very well that if Zebra really wants to kill himself, he may not even have a chance to resist, and he will be directly killed by him. Even though he didn't see the contest between him and Isuzak in front of the hall that day, just in the afternoon, Durant thought he couldn't stop the stabbing from such a short distance. own dagger.

However, Zebra's answer surprised Durant, only listening to Zebra's words.

"Well, that was the plan, but now I've changed my mind."

"Changed your mind? If you let me go, how will you explain to William?"

Durant asked.

But Zebra just smiled and said.

"I will naturally deal with William. Now, let's go back to the topic just now. If we could give you a chance, how would you choose?"

Zebra put down the wine glass in his hand and put it on the table. His strong body leaned forward slightly, and his eyes locked on Durant, which created an invisible sense of oppression for Durant.

"."

Facing Zebra like this, Durant couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he asked aloud.

"What are you going to do?"

Durant said this sentence after a period of hesitation, rather than a straightforward rejection. This is why Zebra waited patiently for his answer, because such hesitation means wavering.

Zebra shook his head first and said.

"You and we haven't reached a cooperative relationship yet. There are some things I can't tell you, but one thing can be revealed. What we are planning is far from a simple Yixiu Zac."

"What you said just now made me change my mind about killing you. You said that you want to get rid of the ordinary life now. I appreciate your unwillingness to be ordinary, but you can rest assured. Since I can tell you this matter, I am not afraid of you leaking it, even if you choose to reject us, I will not do anything to you."

"."

Zebra really admired Durant at this time, and didn't want to kill him just like that, but when this sentence fell into Durant's ears, it had a different meaning. As a threat, if you refuse, in order to keep it secret, you will definitely die.

Thinking of this, Durant fell into deep thought.

This is another gamble. As a well-known gambler in the San Nossen Wall, Durant has never hated choices like he does now.

After a while, Durant asked again.

"If I promise you, what can you give me?"

Hearing Durant's words, Zebra leaned back and said with a smile on his face.

"I heard that you are a gambler. In fact, the matter before you is very simple. It is also a gamble. It depends on which side you bet on. You owe a lot of gambling debts outside. Sincerity, we can help you pay off the debt you owe first."

Hearing Zebra's words, Durant's eyes flashed brightly. It was called longing. The gambling debts he owed for a long time had become a mountain that weighed on him, and he couldn't breathe. He wanted to pay off the debts. , but compared with the huge debt, his salary is just a drop in the bucket. In the end, he put all his attempts on the gambling table again, and the result became what he is now, getting deeper and deeper, unable to extricate himself.

".real?"

"of course."

"However, correspondingly, you have to show your sincerity, Mr. Durant."

"...Sebastian came to me some time ago. Besides asking me to thoroughly investigate the case in Bivis Town, he also reminded me to be careful about William. He, a dude, probably wouldn't think of this. It should be Kakulista. It means that you have been targeted by Kakulista."

Durant said.

Zebra nodded in satisfaction and said.

"Very well, I see your sincerity, Mr. Durant, the gambling debt you owe will be paid off tomorrow."

".thanks."

Thank you Durant sincerely.

"So. Have you made your choice now?"

Zebra asked pressingly.

But Durant fell into silence again, he was still hesitating whether he should agree or not.

"Let me think about it"

Durant said.

But at this time Zebra stood up directly from the sofa, did not choose to continue to force Durant, but said.

"Well, I can understand. After all, this is a big event. We will give you enough time, but during this period, I will wrong you, Mr. Durant."

After speaking, he turned around to leave, but stopped again at the door and left a word.

"What we can give you is much more than what this hypocritical country can give you. I hope you will consider it carefully."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the door. At the door, he met Sakis who had come with him before, but Sakis did not show up from the beginning.

"How's it going?"

Zebra asked directly.

"Everyone inside has been brought under control, Brother Zebra, this Durant"

Before Sarkis finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zebra, who only heard Zebra say.

"Watch him, and let no one go in, and let no one come out, without my order."

"This guy, very interesting."

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Zebra left Durant's mansion, but he did not return to William, but came to the town of Antruth.

He found Lafitte first, and directly pulled a chair in Lafitte's office and sat down.

Lafitte walked over, handed Zebra a cup of coffee, and asked.

"How about it?"

"Thank you."

Zebra took the coffee that Lafitte handed over, but his face became gloomy.

"This afternoon, Durant has discovered something."

"Oh? Sure enough, you can't underestimate people casually. It seems that this gambler is not as useless as we imagined."

Lafitte said with some surprise.

"So, how did you deal with him? Have you killed him?"

I saw Zebra shook his head and said.

"No, I changed my mind later, I think this Durant may be able to be used by me."

"Huh? Are you sure that timid guy has such a strict mouth?"

"He has no better choice, unless he really has lived enough."

Zebra smiled and said.

Regarding this, Lafitte just shrugged his shoulders. After all, this matter was not under his command, and he did not intend to interfere too much.

But at this time, Zebra suddenly said.

"Cakulista has started to have Durant investigate us privately."

"Huh? Where did the news come from?"

Lafitte narrowed his eyes and asked vigilantly.

"Durant himself said that he is now under my control."

"Durant can't die now. If he dies at this point in time, the Isuzak case will definitely be held on our heads, and Kakulista will definitely take action."

"Yeah, this old fox has already begun to disbelieve us."

Lafitte said in a deep voice.

"Heh, he never believed in us, and it is impossible for us to have a tacit understanding of mutual trust between him and us. There is only a pure interest relationship."

Zebra said with a sneer.

"What are you going to do?"

"You arrange someone to monitor Kakulista's manor, and report to me immediately if there is anything unusual."

"Ah."

"Also, take some men to the gate of St. Innocent's Wall, and hold the gate if necessary."

"Ok."

Lafitte nodded.

"In addition, I have already asked Sarkis to squat there on Durant's side, but he may not be enough alone, so let's send a few more."

"I see."

Zebra immediately finished arranging the next arrangement, and as soon as he finished speaking here, Astod rushed in hastily.

"You are indeed here, Zebra, come with me quickly, there is something to do."

"Ok?"

Zebra looked at Lafitte, and after seeing Lafitte shook his head, he immediately walked over with Astrod.

The two arrived at Port Antruth, which is now the largest port outside the Kingdom of Balegon. On the sea surface of the port, a dilapidated boat was floating on the sea, and a figure in a cloak could be vaguely seen. The figure looked familiar.

As if aware of Zebra's arrival, the figures on the boat moved slightly, raised their heads reluctantly, showed a relieved expression, and called out two names.

"Zebra Astrod save me"

"Yard!?"
