Novel Star Chapter 522 Win-win Cooperation
Chapter 522 Win-win Cooperation
In the sterile cabin of the Sonny's medical room, Luffy was lying quietly on the hospital bed with tubes inserted all over his body. On the ECG monitor at the bedside, his heartbeat was very steady.
Everyone gathered outside the glass cover, holding their breath and staring unblinkingly at Chopper's inspection movements inside.
When he came out after the examination, everyone gathered around him with anxious faces.
"How's it going, Chopper?"
"How is he, Luffy?"
"Is the situation okay?"
"Why isn't he awake yet?"
Chopper took off his mask: "My body is recovering well and my vital signs are also stable."
"As for why you don't wake up..."
He frowned slightly.
"Probably because too much energy is consumed, the brain automatically activates the protection mechanism."
"In short, Luffy is doing pretty well now, and it will only be a matter of time before he wakes up."
"However, during this period, we still need to continue to monitor to prevent any problems."
His face tightened.
"I'm going to ask Doctor Doriel if there is any medicine that can help Luffy."
"There still has to be someone guarding this side."
"Okay, leave it to us!"
Usopp patted his chest and assured with a serious look on his face.
When everyone heard Chopper's affirmative answer, their anxious hearts finally relaxed a lot.
"It's fine."
"Let him have a good rest!"
Franky reached out and patted the shoulder of Ace, who had been standing in front of the glass cover.
"Ok, I know."
Ace smiled at everyone.
"By the way, where's Annie?"
"It's the laboratory on the third floor.
She seems to have been very busy in the past few days. "
Robin spoke softly.
"It's probably because there have been too many pirates causing trouble recently, and there are also Higali..."
"I heard that more than a dozen of the transfer stations on the Higali land were pulled out by the World Government."
"Three Army military bases were even destroyed..."
When everyone heard this, their expressions also calmed down.
"The situation on the sea is indeed getting more and more tense."
Robin rubbed his temples, and there was a faint greenish black under his eyes.
"Sister Robin, I will guard you tonight. You should go back and rest early!"
Sanji walked up to her.
"I'll keep it."
Zoro, who was leaning against the wall with his hands folded, spoke.
Sanji looked at him and said nothing more.
"it is good."
Robin didn't refuse. Although it was common for her to stay up late, Luffy had been in a coma for a week, and everyone was on tenterhooks and couldn't get a good rest at all.
"If anything happens, notify Chopper and Annie immediately."
"I know."
In the laboratory on the third floor, Annie was sitting in an office chair, with piles of files on the desktop in front of her.
"So, are you using me as a coolie?"
The male voice on the other end of the phone was not angry or intimidating, and even the expression of a phone bug was very serious.
"coolie?"
Annie chuckled.
"You accepted such a big gift from me, but you still have to bargain with me for such a small thing?"
"Small thing?"
Akainu's voice was slightly gritted.
"Add checkpoints at various large-scale resource supply stations along the Grand Line, and navy troops with the strength of lieutenant general and above will be required to garrison them!"
“Do you know how big the Grand Line is?
"Do you know how many people are going to be sent there?"
"Thanks to you, most of the soldiers injured in the previous battle are still hospitalized!"
Annie fell backwards, and the seat under her body made a creaking sound.
"Actually, we were very restrained that time."
"If my little cuties try to do something real, your naval headquarters will definitely be useless!"
"So, according to you, I still have to thank you?"
"That's not necessary. Just think of it as my kindness."
"Hmph! Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!"
Annie didn't mind Akainu scolding her. Anyway, the two of them scolded each other every day and were already immune.
Compared with the pile of taboo words in her heart, Akainu was already merciful.
"Don't be ignorant, I'm here to help you!"
The pen turned into an afterimage on her fingertips, and Annie's tone was a bit sarcastic.
"These pirates, who don't know the heights of the world, have very lively thoughts these days."
"They really think they can use our reputation to rise to the top! It's really fantastic!"
"Since they dare to show their face, why should we be polite?"
"Send everyone out. If there is an order from the World Government, you will have reason to refuse!"
"At least 10 franchised countries have already sent a distress signal to the world government. This is a good time for you to come forward."
"Combating pirates is a righteous and reasonable excuse, and it has the endorsement of the participating countries. Can the World Government still refuse?"
"Have you already made arrangements for the alliance countries to be invaded by pirates?"
Anne didn't answer.
"I think you are planning to divide the available forces of the World Government!"
"By the way, use the navy to clear out those competitors who are eyeing you."
"After all, your current biggest competitor, the Red-haired Pirates, has been making quite a lot of moves recently."
"You don't want to get stuck by those cats and dogs, so let the navy come forward!"
“It’s a good calculation!
Akainu sneered.
"Don't sound so innocent!"
"For your navy, isn't this also a matter of fame and fortune?"
"Now that the navy's reputation has hit rock bottom, it's time to do some public relations."
"Otherwise, even if we overthrow the world government and re-establish a new government agency, your navy will not be able to convince the public!"
Anne's words were full of teasing, and her light words were like a sharp knife, piercing into Akainu's heart.
The other side was silent for a few seconds.
"Isn't it thanks to you that the navy's reputation is so bad now?"
"That... World Economic News Agency of yours!"
Anne didn't expect that he, who always closed his ears and listened, could actually find the connection between Morgans and the Revolutionary Army.
If Akainu knew what she was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes.
The World Economic News Service's report is so clear in its pertinence and direction.
It seems fair on the surface, but between the lines, there are accusations and belittling of the world government and navy.
Apart from the Revolutionary Army, who else can protect Morgans and make him so confident?
"Ah, haha~"
"No thanks no thanks~"
Anne's tone was sarcastic.
She just let Morgans, slightly, guide the public opinion.
There is absolutely no intention to discredit it!
"You are the first person who can convince me with just a few words.
You are so good at deceiving people, no wonder you poached everyone under my command. "
"Kuzan, Porusalino, Smoker, Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin, are they at your place?"
His sudden exclamation made Annie roll her eyes.
"It's just that there are enough benefits to impress you."
"As for the confusion you mentioned, the main problem must be found within yourself~"
"Marshal Akainu, sincerity can only be exchanged for sincerity!"
Anne gloated.
"I heard that you destroyed more than a dozen dens and three military supply bases were bombed, causing heavy losses?"
Akainu changed his words and stabbed Annie back with a knife without hesitation, with the same gloating tone in his tone.
Annie's eyes darkened, and the corners of her lips straightened.
"Ha~ It's just revenge!"
"Don't worry, I will get this debt back from them sooner or later!"
Akainu didn't care about this.
Anyway, they have reached an alliance, and he is on his own, and he is happy to see the revolutionary army and the World Government fighting to the death.
After talking nonsense for a long time, Annie lost her patience.
"If you don't want to, forget it. It's not impossible for me to let the revolutionary army go!"
"But many of the supply points that pirates must pass through are within the participating countries."
If these strongholds are captured by our revolutionary army in the future, Marshal Akainu must not regret it! "
The other side paused for a second.
"I will arrange it as soon as possible."
The corner of Annie's mouth curved into a smile that was not a smile.
“Very good, a pleasure to work with~”
