Marine Is A Bad Guy, Kizaru Is Not - Chapter 16

Chapter 16 “Colonel Yichen, Marine Soldier – Clo, Reports To You.”

“If I follow you, I can live?”

Clo was stunned for a moment. He knew the weight of this sentence.

He didn’t fully understand what it meant to follow Yichen, but at least he could survive.

Instead of being taken to prison like other pirates, living a dark life as a prisoner, and finally being executed.

Complex emotions surged in Clo’s heart. Only when he was alive could he have everything.

He must seize this opportunity!

He took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, and then he lowered his body, kneeled on the ground, and knelt in front of Yichen, whispering: “Colonel Yichen, I want to live.”

These short words carry a desire for submission and survival.

“very good.”

Yi Chen smiled, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

I like smart people, and talking to them is easy and clear.

But superficial loyalty is not enough. What he needs is complete loyalty, a loyal subordinate who can completely make him feel at ease and handle tedious matters.

“Sit down.”

Yichen pointed to the chair next to him, motioning for Clo to sit down, and then asked: “Besides living, what else do you want?”

Clo hesitated and frowned slightly.

His mind flashed back to the time when he was on the run from Marine, miserable and homeless. “I’m tired of the pirate life, I want a stable life.”

“A stable life?”

Yi Chen nodded, “No problem, come with me to the Marine Headquarters. There is no safer place on this ocean than the Marine Headquarters.”

Marine Headquarters, before the Battle of Marineford, it was almost the safest place in the world.

Even though the holy land, Marijoa, was once invaded by the fisherman Tiger, the Marine headquarters remained standing, as solid as a rock.

Even Shiki, the Golden Lion, was arrested in front of the headquarters by Sengoku and Garp with hatred.

During the war at the top, I could have just been like Lao Huang, leisurely fishing and watching the show with peace of mind.

“Marine headquarters?”

Clo listened to Yichen’s answer and nodded slightly.

Indeed, the Marine Headquarters – that is the core power of the World Government, a place that pirates avoid at all costs, and it is much safer than any corner of the East Daxia Sea.

Yichen looked at Clo with burning eyes and spoke again: “Anything else?”

Clo was stunned for a moment and lowered his head in thought.

He thought about the fact that his plan, which he had spent three years planning, was disrupted by an inexplicable rubber boy, and his heart was suddenly filled with resentment.

He clenched his fists, his eyes showing determination: “I want to become stronger, even more powerful. Only a stronger power can allow me to live safely!”

“oh?”

Yichen raised his eyebrows, feeling both surprised and reasonable at Clo’s answer.

In this vast ocean, power is everything. Without power, how can there be stability?

Clo’s desire was obvious, but Yichen was deeply satisfied with this desire.

He thought for a moment, then smiled slightly, looked down at his remaining happiness value, and glanced at the badge in his hand.

【Host remaining pleasure value: 101520】

【Ghosts and Gods】

[Excellent blue item, current star rating: three stars (highest three stars)]

[Consume vitality to gain the possibility of breaking through your talent limit. The higher the star level, the greater the probability of breaking through, and the higher the talent limit is]

[Only available to those whose original talent is below the level of Lieutenant General of Marine Headquarters. After the breakthrough and complete digestion of the item effect, the talent can reach the level of Elite Lieutenant General of the Headquarters]

[After the excellent blue items reach three stars, you can use pleasure points to break through to the ceiling level. The pleasure points required for breaking through: 100,000]

[After breaking through to the ceiling-level purple item, the breakthrough rate reaches 100%, and the talent can reach the headquarters general level]

His original plan was to save up 150,000 happiness points and then spend 100,000 happiness points to upgrade [Ghost Attraction] to purple, but he didn’t expect to meet Clo so soon, and he just happened to have the need to become stronger.

In this case, there is no need to hesitate any longer. It is better to go with the flow and let him break through directly.

Why split something that can be solved once into two? It’s so troublesome!

【bite!】

[Host spends 100,000 pleasure points to break through the ghost to the ceiling level, remaining pleasure points: 1520]

Yichen gently played with the badge in his hand, then handed it to Clo.

“This…what is this?”

“It makes you very powerful, but it has its cost.”

“This… a small badge can make people stronger?”

Chloe frowned in confusion.

“You can try it.”

Yi Chen said calmly, with a hint of temptation and unquestionable power in his tone, “However, using it will consume your vitality. And I-”

He paused, and smiled meaningfully, “It can help you replenish the vitality you have consumed.”

“this…”

Clo’s heart sank suddenly, and he understood the meaning.

Using the badge consumes vitality, but Yi Chen can replenish it for him, which means that as long as he is loyal to Yi Chen, he can guarantee that he will not die from the loss of strength.

However, once you develop a rebellious heart, what awaits you is only the loss of vitality and death from old age.

“This is really… a condition that does not allow for the slightest regret…”

Cloe murmured in a low voice, his tone full of bitterness and helplessness, but his eyes flashed with determination.

As a former pirate, I know very well that this sea is full of betrayal, and some means are indeed necessary.

He took a deep breath and gripped the badge tightly.

A small silver needle on the badge suddenly pierced out and instantly cut Clo’s finger.

Cloe frowned, feeling the pain, but he didn’t let go.

Power was running wildly in his blood, surging with an unprecedented enthusiasm.

He deeply felt that his talent was undergoing a transformation. The most direct feeling was that he could now fully understand the “shaving” that the lieutenant colonel had used to defeat him before.

That is the advanced version of “Scoop to Death”. Now, I can clearly understand the force and usage techniques of this move, just like it belonged to me from the beginning.

“Is this the power of a breakthrough in talent…”

Clo whispered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

An unprecedented picture suddenly emerged in his mind – if he could persevere in tempering this power, his future height could actually reach the level of an admiral of the Marine headquarters!

“General Black Cat…”

Clo murmured, with a hint of excitement and anticipation that could not be concealed on the corner of his mouth, “What an exciting goal…”

At the same time, Clo felt that the color of his hair was quietly changing. The originally dark black hair color gradually began to become a mixture of black and white. It was a sign of overdrawn vitality, symbolizing the price he paid for strength at this moment.

Yi Chen watched all this quietly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

What he wanted was Clo’s awareness and loyalty, so that he could become a sharp and reliable knife in his hand.

Then, Yichen took out a [Sensus Bean] from his arms and handed it to Clo.

【Senzu Beans】

[It can repair the vitality consumed by accidents, and restore external and internal injuries, but is ineffective against common physical illnesses. 】

Clo was slightly stunned, then he took the Senzu Bean without thinking, took a bite, and let the vitality spread in his body.

He felt that the warm energy was rapidly repairing his body, gradually restoring his vitality that had been overdrawn due to the use of the badge.

However, although his vitality was restored to some extent, he understood that the power of this one Senzu Bean was far from enough to make up for all his losses.

Clo stood there, clenched his fists, felt the changes in his body, and his eyes were filled with gratitude and determination.

He never thought that one day he would possess such power, the power to change his destiny and reshape himself.

What gave him all this was not some mysterious devil fruit, nor the plan he had painstakingly worked on in the East Daxia Sea, but the man in front of him, a man who seemed casual and cynical, but was actually unfathomable – Yi Chen. .

“This is definitely not an ordinary colonel of the headquarters…”

Clo took a deep breath. He understood his identity and knew that from today on he would never be able to go back to his past path.

The pirate Crowe, who used to be able to plan and strategize and claimed to have “a hundred strategies”, has become history.

Now he is a Marine soldier and Yichen’s subordinate.

“No need to question, no need to hesitate,”

Cloe said to himself silently in his heart, “I just need to do my best to complete every task assigned by the colonel and completely get rid of the shadow of the loser in the past.”

He straightened his back, put his feet together, placed his right hand on his forehead, looked at Yichen firmly, and bowed deeply.

“Colonel Yichen,”

Clo said in a calm but powerful voice, “Marine soldier – Clo, reporting to you.”

Yichen looked at Clo bowing in front of him with satisfaction, a smile on his face.

Very good, the best tool person is in place, and what awaits me next is a pleasant life in the headquarters!

Old Huang, when there is a task, just be busy!

And I already have my first tool person, and I have taken a big step towards starting things freely in the headquarters!

I am the Marine’s bad king!
