Chapter 596: You Can Deceive People without Telling Lies. Luke Has Made Progress Again.
Without warning, Luke took out what the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates longed for most. This was tantamount to putting an emotional detonator on the deck of the Moby Dick.
Suddenly, all the crew members on the deck holding wine barrels and glasses froze for a moment, then stood up. The harsh noise spread throughout the entire deck almost instantly.
Although the expressions of these crew members were different, and most of them expressed great distrust of Luke's powerful information, they could all tell that their excitement at this time did not seem to be fake.
Among these people, Marco, who had already preconceived the idea that there was something in Davy Jones that could keep his father alive, had already abandoned the thinking he should have as a medical worker and was full of thoughts. They all had thoughts like "I knew it!" and looked at Luke with eyes as fiery as a phoenix.
There is no way, under the current situation that the medical methods at Marco's disposal cannot effectively treat Whitebeard, he will inevitably seek powers other than medicine, such as Devil Fruit, such as the Sea Death.
In sharp contrast to the excitement of Whitebeard's crew were the people around Luke.
Except for Lizard Dan and Dinisha, two companions who had relatively little contact with Luke, the others were trying to maintain their expressionless faces and continued to present themselves as guards.
Because based on their understanding of Luke, since their leader chose to throw out important information that could be used as a bargaining chip "for free", it meant that he must be seeking greater interests.
It can only be said that they still know Luke very well. Although this guy has indeed helped many people in an objective sense, this definitely does not include the profession of "pirate". Greater interests and bigger potholes are all. Luke could probably do it.
Oh, there is another person who doesn't react much to this, and that is Whitebeard himself, the real master.
I saw this small mountain-like glass cannon tapping the handguard of its huge seat with its fingers, showing an intelligent look that was very inconsistent with its appearance on its face, and then slowly spoke.
"Smelly little smash, there is something wrong with the life-extending method you mentioned."
Although the old man's voice was not loud, it instantly spread across the deck, causing the crew to stop making noise, and a group of people all looked at Luke.
"Yes."
As a result, no one expected that when faced with Whitebeard's question, Luke nodded directly in the affirmative.
But before they could get angry, Luke raised three fingers.
"To be precise, there are three drawbacks to being the new captain of the Flying Dutchman."
"The first point is that the new captain must also perform the duties of the God of Death at sea, or to be precise, the soul ferryman. He needs to transport the souls of the deceased at sea, which is considered to be bound by the duty in disguise. Of course, you can choose not to perform it, but If you do that, the captain and crew will be cursed and become Seafood People."
"The second point is that the captain can only dock once every ten years. He can do anything on the boat, but theoretically he cannot go ashore before time. However, the crew does not have this restriction and can go wherever they want."
When Luke only had one index finger left, he directly exposed his hidden sharp fangs.
"Third point, the position of Soul Ferryman is given by Poseidon, so strictly speaking, there is a superior. If you want to maintain your own lifespan without having to obey orders from your superiors, you need to——"
"Kill Poseidon."
A serious white beard took the initiative to pick up the last half of Luke's unsaid words.
The second emotional bomb detonated on the deck of the Moby Dick for the second time.
If Luke only explained the benefits of becoming a god of death at sea, the pirates who were not interested in it would naturally not believe it from the bottom of their hearts. Not only did they not believe it, they would even have a high chance of attacking Luke directly.
But when Luke clearly told all the disadvantages of killing Davy Jones, his original firm belief began to waver in an instant.
The old man did indeed accept death, but the crew members were the last to want Whitebeard to die.
As that saying goes, parents are the barrier that isolates children from death. Once the parents are gone, the children will have to face unexpected death in a real sense.
Whitebeard regards himself as the "dad" of all the crew members, and most of the crew members have already adapted to his "son" status. This kind of family-like attachment is incomprehensible to other normal pirate groups.
Looking at the noise around him and the white beard who was lost in thought, the corners of Shadow Luke's mouth that were not synchronized with the main body of the shadow body began to rise.
Luke didn't tell a single lie throughout the whole process. At most, he only added a little reasonable speculation to the third point, but this was exactly what he wanted to derive.
Kill Davy Jones, kill Poseidon.
You are already too bold anyway, so just go to the extreme.
And Luke knew very well that what he said at this moment should spread as quickly as possible throughout Turtle Island and even Tsukishima next door. Let alone the pirates from the Caribbean, the gang of pirate navies from One Piece would probably There will be action soon.
This is the temptation of eternal life! But not everyone can face death as calmly as Whitebeard!
It is foreseeable that in the future, Davy Jones may have to face temptations and attacks from humans one after another.
However, there are actually disadvantages here. That is, Davy Jones can gather dying people and sign contracts to become magic crew members. Will this large-scale crusade actually fatten up Davy Jones's troops?
This is not something Luke can foresee in advance.
In addition, Luke is actually quite curious, that is, under the current mixed world view, will the setting of the devil fruit change as a result.
If the devil fruit ability user becomes the captain or crew of the Flying Dutchman and becomes a member of the Poseidon system, will they be immune to the negative effects of "sea spitting" in disguise, or will they further aggravate the curse and completely lose the devil fruit ability?
Unknowingly, the Whitebeard Pirates, who originally wanted to test whether Luke's courage was true or false, were actually led astray by Luke who caught his weakness, and extended the "killing Davy Jones" demand that originally belonged to Luke alone directly to the Whitebeard Pirates, and even to the human camp in the sea monster world.
If it was just Whitebeard, he would definitely not be "bewitched" by Luke, as the old man is too open-minded about death.
But under the influence of family affection, will this old man who values feelings too much stick to his own ideas? Is he really willing to abandon so many of his stupid sons?
Comrade Luke, the initiator, is looking forward to the difficult decision that Whitebeard has not yet made.
