live with conscience

The consequence of pretending to be coercive indiscriminately is to be imprisoned.

It's just that the word "imprisonment" is not recognized by the military.

What they said was very civilized, and they invited Miss Lin Lan to be a guest at the Navy Headquarters.

She lives in the most spacious and luxurious room with an excellent view in the Navy Headquarters. Eating and drinking are the most delicious food and the best wines and drinks in the great waterway.

If you get bored, you can also provide guides to accompany you around the island. Except for several top secret locations of the navy, you can't go to it, and all permissions are the highest.

Except that the navy has a big event to do recently, it is inconvenient to get in and out, and guests can't leave the island at will, other things are optional.

"Then should I thank everyone in the Navy for their attention and kindness to me? I have to trouble the Marshal for his company during his busy schedule."

Holding the book in her hands, Lin Lan couldn't bear to read a single word, and felt that her patience was about to reach its limit.

As long as she wakes up, at least two people will appear in front of her, the lowest rank is a lieutenant general, and each will accompany her for a few hours. It feels like she is too busy to work and come to find her to amuse her.

But my little friend Zhenxiu said that in order to win the companion seat, there are almost a dozen rounds of sparring between the generals every day.

Today, he was dispatched to the rank of marshal!

After the Marshal of the Warring States Period, the three generals Aokiji, Red Dog, and Yellow Monkey also arrived one after another, followed by Crane, Garp, Ghost Spider, Smoker...

Paired with a dazzling array of food and beverages, there are groups of navies, singing, joking, grabbing food, gambling, arm wrestling...

The scene is full of pornography, gambling, and poison!

"Are you planning to hold a banquet in my room again?" Didn't you see that I was reading a book?

Lin Lan, who just wanted to read quietly while holding a naval record book, expressed that she couldn't take it anymore.

It's too loud, it's too bad.

However, Marshal Warring States responded very formally: "That's right, in order to welcome guests from afar, we must treat them well! Let's go to the banquet~"

What responded to him was the cheers of the audience~

"If I remember correctly, this is also the reason why General Tian Qingji and General Yellow Ape held a banquet yesterday." Lin Lan was completely unaffected by the warm atmosphere of the banquet, and said coldly: "The navy treats prisoners like me. Are they all this enthusiastic?"

In the most luxurious large room in the naval base, the place that she said was hers was full of the smell of cigarettes, alcohol, and perfume, plus a lot of loud voices, dice jumping, and card waste. After being high, the emotions became agitated, and the domineering wave came one after another. One was upset, and another brother showed his muscles and hammered each other, and the food, drink and alcohol were flying.

Damn, if they weren't all wearing a set of navy skins, Lin Lan would have felt that she was at a carnival banquet where a large and terrifying pirate group had carpe diem.

But the reason for the navy is very good.

Lieutenant Admiral He, who is very intellectual, pushed his glasses. As one of the few women and representatives of the intelligent navy, ahem, he is the one who can remain relatively calm in this turbulent banquet, and explained (spit): "You're confused, Xiaolan. The day before yesterday was a routine banquet held after the upper echelons of the navy assembled. They had to be publicized in the military newspaper and newspaper. The private party in our navy, the marshal and the three generals pay out their pockets to treat guests, and they just play with you who are already familiar with the navy; today is our together, the real AA system paid, a grand welcome banquet held just for you! .”

"Public expenses?" A burst of cheers erupted from somewhere, Lin Lan patted the roaring ears, and naturally got distorted, and guessed along the topic: "You bring me every game, maybe the higher-ups will be judged because of me Pay you bills?"

"The government said it will do whatever it takes to attract you." Marshal Warring States put on the most graceful posture and took a sip of beer, then said the truth comfortably: "Do you know... the first batch of military expenditures has never been so generous, as a navy Even if there is gray income, I don’t dare to leak too much, and there are not many opportunities to have this kind of top-level public expenses without scruples. It should be said that it is unprecedented~”

Warring States suddenly became excited and shouted loudly, which instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the audience was silent——

"Full batch! Hahahaha... TM is a full batch without hesitation, haggling, and even looking at it! Since I became a marshal, I have never applied for funds so smoothly. It's really too hahahaha... so cool La la la la la la la la la..." The calmest Marshal of the Warring States Period also laughed wildly after drinking too much, and even danced a nondescript waltz with a crane...

"Yoho~oh~oh~oh~ that's it~~~" The audience responded enthusiastically.

Immediately, the banquet entered a climax, and everyone shouted "Enke Qihe", and the demons danced wildly.

Emmmmm......

Faced with this kind of situation, Lin Lan didn't know how many times she fell into the state of being out of place and wanted to refuse.

She wanted to leave. The experience of the previous two days told Lin Lan that this was definitely a road of no return. She gave up without even thinking about it.

As long as she makes a move, she will face the vice admirals, generals, and even marshals who are all drunk...

She was invited by a group of marines to fight wine or something, but she chose to give up, it was terrible!

cough~

Lin Lan took a deep breath, and chose the latter among the two options of negotiating, such as going crazy and turning the whole audience over, or continuing to endure the negotiations with Party A's father.

Holding the book in her hands, she shrank to a quiet corner with two walls against the wall, sat on the floor, and sprinkled a large amount of poison around her neatly. After putting up three signs: highly poisonous, dangerous, and no approaching, she looked at the poison in her hand. Naval Archives Logbook.

Lin Lan came to the Navy Headquarters sincerely, in order to try her best to pull Ace out.

This is already the most extreme thing she is willing and able to do for Ace.

No more, no more.

Cough cough... The price of the exchange is definitely not the devil fruit promotion and planting plan.

Although she did master the way of cultivating and promoting planting of that thing, the price was too high.

If you want to achieve mass production, you have to fill it with your life, whether it is her life, or nine tenths of the world's population.

According to her "intuition" all the time, Lin Lan knew that the method was right. Anyway, a lot of weird things would pop up in her head since she was a child. I don't want to sacrifice myself to make the whole world better, and I don't want to sacrifice the whole world to satisfy the ambitions of a few people.

It was brought up, just to increase the value of the fool... Bah, it's just a bargain.

In her hands, the next best thing is to have other things that can attract the navy, such as formulas that integrate the ability to purify devil fruits, stimulate arrogance without sequelae through science, exercise physique, and improve body functions. She has all of them. ,Much.

Through the hands of my little friend Zhenxiu, the effect can also be enhanced by a very frightening blessing.

Not only can avoid the tragedy of Shura, but also don't worry about Zhenxiu being settled by Qiuhou.

Who would have thought that she had already prepared all kinds of plans to bargain with Party A's father, and Party A of the Navy would actually act like a rogue.

Not responding, ignoring, or negotiating is just holding her back and not letting her go.

The execution arrangements for Ace were intensively arranged, and none of them were left behind. Dayou dealt with Ace first, and then talked about the rogue intention of cooperation.

Lin Lan could understand these behaviors. When she set foot on Marlin Fanduo, she already expected that the navy would not be easy to talk about. Otherwise, she would not exaggerate the conditions.

Well, you are Party A, you are the biggest.

As Party B, Lin Lan could only accept it.

It's not the end yet, don't worry!

If Ace is gone, she will turn around and become Party A's person. Let's see who can survive who?

Thinking of this, Lin Lan completely calmed down, blocked the noise around her, and concentrated on looking at the logbook in her hand.

This world, except for the Red Earth Continent, is all about the sea, and there should not be too many anecdotes and strange images on the sea. Practical navigators and pirates do their part, but when it comes to the stock of theoretical knowledge, it is definitely the navy under the world government. Headquarters collects more.

It is rare to be able to openly view the top-secret information of the Navy. This opportunity must not be missed and must not be wasted.

Lin Lan, who devotes herself to doing what she wants to do, does not know that her every move is actually under the close attention of everyone in the navy.

Maybe she knew, but she was too lazy to care about it.

In the navy, those who can get into the position of throwing away the burden of idols are all domineering owners. It is very keen to judge the thoughts of a person who deliberately exposes his senses.

For Lin Lan who came to their door, they were determined to recruit him.

The value represented by Lin Lan is too scary.

No matter where she goes, she can bring out the bottom-up turmoil brought about by increasing food production and reforming the industrial and economic interest chain.

Although, this is indeed the main reason why all the forces wanted to recruit her.

After all, this is an ability that makes the world government feel terrible.

The Navy is only an institution that safeguards the maritime interests of the world government. It is fancy, appreciative, and jealous of her ability, but it is definitely not as serious as the group of black-hearted people who play politics.

Because of what she has done, the benefits are shared by the whole people.

No matter which power or class it is, it is a beneficiary.

To some extent, the navy is still the biggest beneficiary.

Because the slogan of the navy is absolute justice, and it is still the official organization that controls the sea. After this huge interest chain changes, unless there is a deep hatred, the bottom or middle-level profiteers will take the lead in choosing to cooperate with the navy.

Compared with the revolutionary army and pirates, the navy's natural protective color and justice slogan are not too easy to use.

Although the people have mastered the armed force to a certain extent because of Lin Lan's help, this armed force is only enough to protect themselves and can resist those thugs and pirates who are not good enough and incompetent. For the really powerful navy and pirates Speaking of it, as long as you are on guard, you can only hurt the flesh at most, and will not pose a real threat.

To a certain extent, it also helped the Navy, the Four Emperors, and the Seven Warlords maintain local stability and stabilize their vested interests.

Therefore, the navy really flattered Lin Lan.

Helpless, all the routines have been used, and it doesn't seem to work very well.

Internal Lieutenant Colonel Zhenxiu was able to rise so quickly without encountering obstacles. As Lin Lan's childhood friend, it was a big green light, and no one could stop her.

It's just that for Lin Lan, although friends are important, they are not so important that they are willing to sell themselves for them.

Beauty trap?

The upper navy was all on board and failed en masse.

It stands to reason that girls nowadays should easily admire the strong!

The navy in the single base camp really didn't understand the reason for the failure.

Lieutenant General He pointed out the reason for the failure: "You used the means of sex to fool other people's little girls, and they have not been poisoned to death because they have already cultivated themselves."

Lin Lan, a weird type that shouldn't appear in the Great Channel at all, is really very likable.

In front of a group of the highest naval forces, there is no disgust, no fear, no anxiety...

As if she wasn't the one who asked straight to the point to exchange benefits for Ace that day, she complied with their "invitation" and was a guest at the Navy Headquarters.

Be courteous, don't overstep the rules, and don't ask for any overstepping the rules. You should eat, drink, and play.

In the first few days, after going around Marin Fando like a tourist, I like to borrow books from the library of the Navy Headquarters to read, and there is no special action.

If they didn't know about her great achievements, they would almost have thought that she was a real noble who strayed into the great channel.

Well, it's not the kind of aristocrats that the navy can't see, the hypocrisy and disgusting nobles who wear a layer of aristocratic skins, and do all the things of animals, but the kind of real ones, with good education and upbringing, who really have noble morals, The kind of convincing nobleman who is both capable and attractive, which is already rare.

He clearly knows that he is in a wolf's den... Ahem, it seems wrong to describe the absolutely righteous navy like this, but from the standpoint of both sides, no matter how friendly the navy is to Lin Lan (on the surface), it can't change the fact that there is evil on the inside.

Under such an environment, people who can provide the navy with knowledge of various edible plants and medical natural medicinal materials without any barriers, and are even willing to personally guide and teach, are really admirable.

Although the person who asked the question was Zhenxiu, who had a low EQ and hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, she was still being used by the navy to contact Lin Lan's internal staff, and when General Huang Yuan came to accompany him for a chat, she "encouraged her" in front of Lin Lan. " asked the question.

However, Lin Lan pretended that she didn't know what Zhenxiu asked and what she answered, even if Zhenxiu brought her (I don't know it was an internal arrangement) left and right hands to ask questions together, Lin Lan didn't mind. Solved the confusion and solved many logistical problems that the Navy has been unable to solve.

This is also the fundamental reason why the navy, which has always been stingy, is willing to provide Lin Lan with the best treatment.

Absolute justice is true, but it also depends on the position.

The Navy's "Devil Slaughter Order" is a good proof that, to a certain extent, the Navy is actually just a ruling tool of the government, and all justice must be based on maintaining the rule of the government.

Lin Lan has already belonged to the level that if he refuses to obey, he must be completely killed. Both parties know this.

In response to this, the Marshal of the Warring States Period wiped out the rank of the admiral who was in charge of placing Lin Lan in his busy schedule, and directly made him a miscellaneous soldier. The reason was——

Let the navy miss a good seed with the qualification of marshal.

This nonsensical reason actually won the unanimous approval of the upper navy.

"You don't want to meet Portgas D. Ace, I can arrange it." The one who spoke was the Marshal of the Warring States Period who found that the disruptive strategy had failed and had had enough waves.

Who would have thought that in this tug-of-war negotiation battle where whoever speaks first will suffer, in the end, the navy, which is sure to win, will give in first. This is really not the navy.

Comparing with the transaction terms proposed by Lin Lan, it seems that the navy is indeed playing a rogue. After all, Lin Lan is already in their territory. Although Lin Lan's ability is not yet clear, her strength is definitely not bad.

No matter how you say it, you have been mixed in the East, West, North and South Seas, and you are still making wind and rain on the great waterway, and you are on the list of various forces, but you can still hide. People who are safe and sound, no matter how low their strength is, there is a limit.

But the navy is very confident. With the current strength of the navy headquarters, Lin Lan will never escape from their palms, and can only let them ravage at will.

Even so, the Navy has no objection to the Warring States Marshal's retreat, because as long as Lin Lan gets along for a long time, people won't be able to hate him!

Huang Yuan came over drunk, stood outside the security circle, and made fun of alarmistly: "It's less than three days before Fire Fist Ace's execution, this is your last chance, Miss Lin Lan, after tomorrow , except for the marshal and our three generals, no one can visit anymore. When we arrive at the execution ground, I’m afraid you won’t have time to chat in private.”

"No need." Lin Lan refused directly, and found that the so-called banquet was over. No, it should be said that everyone had calmed down and recovered their human appearance. She added: "We don't know each other well."

Seeing the cracked expressions of everyone in the navy, Lin Lan explained kindly: "You probably have some misunderstandings about the relationship between me and Ace, no, you have serious misunderstandings about me. To be honest, every day I face I feel quite pressured by the way you regard me as a saint. In my eyes, whether it is the world government, navy, pirates, revolutionaries... subdivide it, even nobles, politicians, businessmen... these are considered the upper class In my eyes, because of your respective interests and positions, you have never thought of ending the current chaotic situation in various places, but they are all about the same."

Everyone in the Navy: Too arrogant, my face hurts a bit.

"It's the same with Ace. Except for the relationship that I have to repay, I have neither good feelings nor bad feelings for him. I owe the kindness to Grandma Ace. After saving him this time, I don't have any It’s a relationship, but it’s troublesome to meet. If the transaction is successful, I hope that you will erase my existence, and I don’t want to be the sister of the blood of One Piece.”

When the navy had backed down and was planning to bargain, Lin Lan didn't mind at all, exposing her reserve price.

I almost didn't explain, I will only save Ace this time, and I don't care if he is caught again in the future, life or death is up to you, whatever you like is indifferent.

"So, let me give you a real price to let you let Ace go this time. What price do I have to pay, as long as it is reasonable, I will not refuse." Lin Lan also made a very conscientious suggestion: "Since you can catch Ace once, Then... it shouldn't be difficult to catch it again."

The tone of treating Ace as a human burden that cannot be shaken off should not be too obvious.

All Navy:  …

Why did he suddenly have a feeling of wanting to sympathize with Ace?

"Cough cough cough...hahaha..." Lieutenant General Garp who broke the silence was the Lieutenant General Garp who was thumping and laughing wildly: "It's really rare, that guy Ace has someone who really cares about him. If he knows, he will definitely I'm very happy, you are the child who led me on the island of Batherilla back then."

Lin Lan really wanted to ask Lieutenant General Garp if he had any misunderstandings about the word "sincerity", but seeing the sadness in his eyes, she subconsciously did not deny it: "Yes, long time no see, I thought the first time I came here You will be the first to see me, I didn't expect that you have been avoiding me, grandpa, although... I also feel that it is very embarrassing and helpless for us to meet again. "

As accomplices who don't know each other, it will definitely not be a good thing to meet again.

One nest was found to have betrayed the navy, and the other was about to be executed, and she was also forced to go to the headquarters of the navy to find people.

"You are the only witness to the intersection between me and Ace. I held him in my arms and handed him over to you."

In return, Garp laughed even more presumptuously: "Hahaha... that's how it is..."

However, anyone can hear the helplessness and sadness in his laughter.

Huang Yuan probably understood, and interjected: "That is to say, you came here just to trade Ace's life. For him, you are willing to pay a certain price, but you are not willing to compromise and join the navy for him... well, Meaning by any force, yes?"

Lin Lan nodded happily, "That's right."

Finally someone understood her words.

He asked tirelessly: "I seriously want to ask for the last time, what price do I need to pay to redeem Ace? For Ace, do you have any intention of letting me redeem it?"

The Navy collective fell silent again.

Because of Lin Lan's straight ball questioning, the chatter was dead.

Needless to say, there is only one answer—impossible.

For the world government, for the navy, Ace's birth, and his own blood are sins and mistakes, and there is no possibility of forgiveness.

However, facing Lin Lan who was negotiating seriously, they couldn't say a word of direct rejection.

Although the existence of Lin Lan cannot be compared with the former Pirate King Roger, the current leader of the Revolutionary Army Monkey D. Long, and the pirate Whitebeard, it is definitely better than the ones they are imprisoned now, and whose fate is determined. Ace is much more valuable.

Once they directly refuse, the goodwill that they have finally gained with each other will be directly zeroed out, which is something that the Navy collectively does not want to see.

Lin Lan's personality charm is very attractive to those of them who have been baptized in the dark.

They don't want to make each other enemies if they can.

After refusing, the short and illusory peace and friendship between them will no longer exist.

It's just that silence is actually a kind of response.

Lin Lan understood, and sighed: "I understand, my request is too presumptuous, sorry for causing trouble to everyone."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and continued to read, showing his refusal to continue communicating with his actions. The friendship established between the two parties because of all kinds of absurd jokes disappeared in an instant.

The room was silent.
