One Piece: I am the Master of Black Magic

Chapter 435 The Man Behind the Scenes (2 in 1)

Early the next morning, Anne took everyone to the tavern in West Port.

As expected, a group of giant pirates were already waiting here, including Tori and Broki, the former members of the giant pirate group.

"Kababababa~ I knew you would definitely come!"

"Quack, quack, quack~ It's been a long time no see, everyone of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

Hearing this special laughter, Usopp's eyes instantly lit up.

"Master Dongli! Master Brockie!"

"Uncle Giant!"

"It's really you!"

The invisible people were revealed, and Usopp was the first to jump off the aircraft.

"Very sharp, two captains!"

Annie smiled at the two of them.

"After all, you have no hidden aura at all!"

A huge round table was placed in the center of the tavern, with the giants sitting around it and the Straw Hats sitting cross-legged on the table.

"Is she the little girl you took away from the martial arts arena?"

Brocky asked, pointing to Freytis, who was being held by Nami.

Annie nodded: "That's right."

As soon as they sat down, the two silly giants smiled and served each of the Straw Hats a glass of wine.

But fortunately, it’s not a wine glass taller than a person.

"Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates has heard of your reputation for a long time, but I have never had the chance to get to know you. Today I can finally thank you in person for your help!"

"what?"

"What have we helped you with?"

Everyone is puzzled.

The orange watermelon head next to Brocky scratched his head sheepishly.

"When Cassie and I were deceived by the navy to guard the gate of Judiciary Island, it was you who told the two captains the news. Only then did we realize that we had been deceived and escaped from Judiciary Island."

"Oh~"

Everyone suddenly realized.

"It's you two!"

Usopp waved his hands indifferently: "It's just a word, it's not help!"

"No!"

Oyimo shook his head.

"This is a huge favor to us!"

"Thank you very much!"

The two bowed deeply to the Straw Hats in the center of the round table.

"If you need help from both of us in the future, please feel free to ask!"

"No, no, no, don't do such a big courtesy!"

"Are you serious? I have it now!"

Annie's eyes lit up as soon as she rubbed the ground.

"Annie!"

Facing the giant he admires very much, Usopp is very concerned about the image of himself and his friends.

"How could we..."

Annie pushed him away and stared at the two of them with burning eyes.

"I have a need to use yours now!"

Oyimo and Cassie looked at each other.

"Please feel free to speak!"

Annie raised her eyebrows.

"Are you sure you can just ask?"

The two nodded in unison.

"As long as we both can do something, we will never refuse!"

Dongli said: "If it happened yesterday, Brocky and I can come forward."

"Kababababa, that's right."

"Although the Giant Pirates have been disbanded, the Council of Elders will still give us some face."

"Although the current reputation of our warrior village is not as good as that of the red and white tribes, it is still possible for you to leave Elbaf safely and save this little girl!"

Annie chuckled.

"Do not."

"I want you to help Prince Loki ascend the throne and rule the entire Elbaf!"

As soon as the words fell, the tavern fell into dead silence.

Whether it was the giant at the round table or the boss at the bar, they all looked at Anne in astonishment.

Dongli put his right hand on the table into a fist, and looked straight at Annie with his sharp eyes.

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

"of course."

Anne looked calm and accepted the looks from all directions calmly.

"You know Prince Loki?"

"Ah, we just met yesterday."

The giants frowned.

"Why did you ask Oyimo and Cassie to help him?"

"In fact, I hope that you, everyone in the Giant Soldier Pirates, can become Prince Loki's help."

"Do you know Elbaf's current situation?"

"I know, and I know a lot of inside stories that you don't know."

"What's the inside story?"

All the giants became serious.

Annie raised her eyes to look at Dongli and Brockie, and then scanned the other giants around her with her peripheral vision.

"what happened?"

Annie choked.

She forgot that with a giant's IQ, he might not be able to understand her hint at all.

"What I am going to say next may involve the unknown secrets and conspiracies behind Elbaf."

"so many people…"

"How about I talk to Mr. Dongli and Mr. Brockie alone?"

"no!"

The rest of the people spoke one after another.

"We want to listen too!"

"That's right! There's nothing you can't let us know!"

Dongli and Brockie hesitated for a while, but still did not rush everyone to leave.

"Just tell me, everyone here is trustworthy."

Dongli stroked his long beard.

"That's right!"

"Speak straight!"

"Ok."

Anne compromised.

"Where to start?"

She crossed her arms, frowned and thought for two seconds.

“Let’s start with Elbaf’s current situation.”

The giants held their breaths and breathed softly.I was afraid that I couldn’t hear Anne’s voice clearly.

"I speculate that the mastermind behind Elbaf's long-term war and internal fragmentation should be the World Government."

As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a huge thunder, which made the giants' ears ring and their ears dazzle.

"What did you say?"

"World Government!"

"impossible!"

"Where did you draw that conclusion?"

"Elbaf and the World Government have always coexisted peacefully!"

"Stop talking!"

Dongli hit the table, and the Straw Hats sitting on the table bounced up and down.

Anne ignored everyone's doubts and continued.

"How arrogant and unreasonable the world government is on the sea. I think everyone knows it."

"The franchised countries must pay high taxes every year to be protected by the world government and navy."

"Non-franchised countries have been plagued by pirates all year round, and the nobles are extortionate. The people at the bottom live in poverty and precarity."

"But Elbaf is an exception."

"It has not paid taxes as a franchise country, and the giant's powerful combat power has frightened the pirate Xiaoxiao."

"Let me ask, how can the world government trust a country that has great power but is unwilling to become a member of the world government to develop and grow?"

The crowd fell into contemplation.

"If you were the world government, in order to ensure the long-term stability of your rule, would you try to curb its growth?"

“The giants are too powerful, and the cost of violent suppression is too high, so it is definitely not advisable.

So they chose other means, including coercion, inducement, instigation of rebellion, brainwashing...

In short, their aim is to undermine Elbaf from within.Let them have no energy and thoughts to fight against the world government. "

"These are all your speculations!"

The expression on Dongli's face was a little stiff.

"We won't believe you without evidence."

Brockie also spoke.

"That's right!"

"How do we know if you are lying!"

"That's it!"

"Annie wouldn't lie to you about something like this!"

Luffy was a little dissatisfied and yelled while holding his neck.

But he didn't notice the guilty looks on the faces of his companions.

Why do you always think that Annie can do things like pouring dirty water on the world government?

Anne didn't argue with them. She turned her wrist and took out several old newspapers.

"The World Government has already taken action against Elbaf, but you just don't know it."

"You all know this person, right?"

Naturally, they will not be unfamiliar with it, because the photo printed in the newspaper is of a human being respected by the entire giant race.

The Carmelites whom they worship as 'Our Lady'.

Robin handed the connected phone to Annie and took the newspaper in her hand.

"100 years ago, the world-famous Giant Pirates were captured by the navy. When they were about to be executed, a woman appeared and stopped them."

"Her name is Carmel, she is a nun. She is the last user with the soul fruit ability.

She persuaded the navy that if they were executed now, the giants would be furious and they would definitely take revenge on humans.

By then, the relationship between the two races will deteriorate and war will break out on the sea.

She persuaded the navy to let these giants go, hoping that the two races could live in harmony and friendship for a long time.

Of course, her persuasion was successful, and the navy spared the giants.

People were grateful for her good deeds, and since then, Carmel has been regarded as the "Mother of the Holy Mother" by the world.

She gained the respect of all the giants and established the shelter "Lamb's House" in Elbaf.

Regardless of race or identity, just to shelter homeless children. "

Before everyone could admire the nun, Anne's next words shattered their views.

“But in fact, Carmel’s true identity is a human trafficker who abducted orphans and trafficked them, with a 50-year criminal experience.

She works with the World Government and regularly sells the most gifted and powerful of the children she takes in to the Navy or cipher-pol.

And her appearance at the execution scene was just a show with the World Government.

The purpose is to expand his reputation so that he can resell homeless children to the government as spies trained by the government in the future.

She transported many giant soldiers to the Navy Headquarters, such as Lieutenant General John Jarndor who fought against Chopper. "

"This is impossible!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"How could the Holy Mother be such a person!"

"She is so kind and gentle to the children, I have seen it with my own eyes!"

The older giant was furious, and his fierce eyes locked directly on Annie.

"She is our savior! We will never allow you to slander the Virgin!"

The talking giant was one of the men saved from execution by the Carmelites.

The atmosphere at the scene was tense.

Zoro Sanji Jinbei stood up immediately and stood beside his friends in a defensive posture.

The others were surprised.

"This is too scary!"

"This is the real heart!"

"How could they do this! It's so inhumane!"

Annie ignored everyone's reactions and continued.

"The former Big Mom of the Four Emperors, who is famous in the sea, you giants should know her life well.

Bigmom was originally the child of an ordinary human couple, but was born with a different physical constitution and great destructive power.At just 5 years old, he can kill a giant bear with one punch.

63 years ago, the Carmelites adopted Charlotte Lingling, who was exiled from her hometown.

She soon discovered that Charlotte Lingling had great strength and talent.

Therefore, the Carmelites are very tolerant of Lingling and will forgive her no matter what mistakes she makes.

During the Winter Solstice Festival 10 months later, Charlotte Lingling went berserk due to an attack of schizophrenia and destroyed the giant village.

Carmel used the Soul Soul Fruit power to create Pandora the Sun, which absorbed the flames that spread throughout the village and saved the village.

Yolu Lu, the elder of the giant clan, regarded Lingling as an "evil god" and planned to kill Lingling. Instead, Lingling fell down and died of serious injuries.

The giants regarded bigmom as the culprit of destruction, causing Carmelite to be forced to move elsewhere with all the children of the "House of the Lamb". "

"Am i right?"

Anne looked at the giants in the tavern.

The faces of the giants who knew about it were full of astonishment.

"This…"

"How did you know so clearly?"

"These things, even among the current giants, very few people know the inside story."

“The Carmelites regarded Charlotte Lingling as their last piece of business and prepared to wash their hands after selling her, so they raised her price very high.

During the business negotiation, at Charlotte Lingling's 6th birthday party, Charlotte Lingling was eating too much and her consciousness fell into confusion.

Later, the children of the Lamb House and the Carmelites disappeared mysteriously and their whereabouts are unknown.Only some incomplete clothing was left at the scene.

Later, Charlotte Lingling inherited the power of the Soul Soul Fruit from Carmel, and was brought into the ranks of pirates by Longbread.began her legendary life. "

It's horrifying to think about it, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was shocked into a cold sweat by Anne's words, "I was so selfless while eating that I only left some incomplete clothes on the scene."

The faces of the Straw Hats were a little stiff.

"So, they were..."

"No way...it's not what I think, is it?"

"This is... too scary!"

"6 years old..."

"The Devil Fruit ability is directly inherited..."

"What should I do? I feel a little nauseous..."

"I also…"

Several giants spoke with difficulty.

"No one except the giants should know about this matter."

Annie spread her hands: "So, what I said is true."

The scene fell into silence again.

The giants lowered their heads, wondering what they were thinking.

Everyone in the Straw Hats came closer to Annie and asked in a low voice: "Bigmom really ate..."

"pretty close."

"But Carmel is not dead."

"what???"

"Is... not dead yet?"

"how is this possible!"

"Why does this sound so scary?"

"When I was on Cake Island, I saw that there were two souls in Charlotte Lingling's body."

"Annie! Please don't tell ghost stories in broad daylight, please!"

"The more I hear it, the scarier it gets!"

"If Carmel is a soul-soul fruit user, it is not impossible to have a way to preserve his soul."

Sanji blew out the smoke and slowly revealed his guess.

Annie nodded.

“I once speculated whether the Carmelites deliberately did these things in order to have Charlotte Lingling’s powerful body and strength.

After all, it is the Carmelite consciousness that dominates most of the time. "

"It's just that her consciousness was too confused during the battle, and I couldn't read any effective information."

"That's enough! We don't want to know the inside story at all!"

"That's right! We're not curious at all."

Nami, Usopp, and Brook covered their mouths, forcing down the rumbling nausea in their stomachs.

The rest of the people's faces were also a little pale, but Luffy, who was always very nervous, asked curiously: "What did you eat?"What on earth did she eat? '
