The Iron Ship Island of the Great Voyage

......

"Boy Raymond, I have some bad news for you..."

Not long after the operation, Raymond received a call from Capone.

Hearing this opening tone, he immediately knew that something was wrong.

On the phone bug side, Capone seriously described the problems he encountered.

"I just contacted those old friends of mine. I thought that lifting the curse was just a small problem. But I never thought that something would happen when I contacted a few old friends... I suspect that they may have been secretly eradicated by the World Headquarters .”

The elder brother of the former "Giant King" Uli was the captain of the "One Piece" Delos fleet, which means that those "old friends" that Capone knew were all staunch supporters of Uli, and they all advocated anti-World President. The government's "hardliners"!

Now the situation in the kingdom of giants is very chaotic, the "Burning Thorn Tribe" has taken refuge in the World Headquarters, the attitude of the "Forest Tribe" is vacillating, and the "Voodoo Tribe" with a special status is out of absolute neutrality...

As for [Black Mountain] Lute, the chief of the "Mountain Tribe", and Colt, the chief of the "Frost Tribe", the chiefs of these two tribes have always been "hardliners" who advocate the independence of giants, and they are also the final decision on the situation in the kingdom of giants key person.

Now Root has been plotted by the World Headquarters to be killed.

Capone felt that the only person who could talk to him was Colt from the "Frost Tribe".

But contacting this old friend made Capone suspicious.

On the other end of the phone, Capone said slowly: "The chieftain of the 'Frost Tribe', Colt, is also an old acquaintance of mine. It stands to reason that he would never refuse to do me a little favor. But I haven't mentioned the curse yet. , only chatted about some past events, and found something unusual, that guy feels very 'strange' to me!"

Raymond: "Strange?"

"Before Uli returned to the 'Ancestral Land of Giants', he explained to me the subsequent arrangements... The rebellion of the 'Burningthorn Tribe' had already begun, and Uli had already known about it. into civil turmoil."

Capone didn't say it directly, but explained more causes and consequences: "The 'Frost' and 'Mountain' are the two most determined tribes against the World Headquarters among the five major tribes, and they are also behind Uli's arrangements. Our 'Blood' The royal group came to Jaffatron this time, in fact, to cooperate with the actions of the two clans and strive to reverse the situation in the kingdom of giants. Now that Root is dead, Colt's attitude has become a little weird..."

"But... Hasn't Colt always opposed Kron's election as the 'King of Giants'?"

When Raymond heard this, he was also very puzzled.

Not long ago, Colt fought a battle with Chief Kron of the "Burning Thorn Tribe". From the looks of it, he should be a staunch "hardliner".But why listened to Capone's tone, as if that guy suddenly turned his back?

At this time, Capone expressed his guess: "I am also very strange... According to the news I got, after Colt and Cron were injured in the battle, his attitude became very strange. ! It's like...a different person!"

Raymond: "What do you mean?"

"Now I still need to verify some things. I am not sure what happened to Colt for the time being."

Capone's tone was also a bit puzzled, and he said: "But judging from the current situation, the layout of the World Headquarters in the Kingdom of Giants is far beyond our imagination, and the means left by Uli have almost been cleaned up. If Acting according to the previous plan, we may fall into a big fight...and, I guess, there will be a big change in ten days!"

Raymond: "Great change? You mean war?"

"That's right! That's the day we originally planned to go to war!"

After a pause, Capone continued: "The enthronement ceremony of the new king of giants will be held ten days later, when Cron Gurubash will become the new king of giants. I got a secret message that he will vote on whether to merge the five giants. Horde, seek refuge with the World Headquarters... Originally, this voting ceremony would definitely not be successful, but now it seems... there may be some changes."

"I see."

When Lei Meng heard this, he suddenly realized something.

Now among the five major tribes in the Kingdom of Giants, two staunch "hardliner" chiefs, one was assassinated, and the attitude of the other changed suddenly... The original two to two votes suddenly became very subtle.

Capone continued: "If the vote is successfully reached, and many votes pass the Giant Kingdom to join the World President's overall jurisdiction, then all the preparations we have made will be useless. Once the five major tribes express their views, it is absolutely impossible for me to rely solely on my 'Blood Emperor' Impossible to change."

Hearing this, Raymond also knew what the bad news Capone said was.

He asked: "You can't get Elder Voodoo to help lift the curse now?"

"The elders of the voodoo tribe are all stubborn 'conservatives'. Their duty is to protect the continuation of the giant race. As long as they are not in danger of extermination, they will remain absolutely neutral. Except for obeying the giant king, those old stubborn will never listen An outsider. Besides, 20 years ago, because Captain Delos 'abducted' away Taishan (Ulitar's brother), those old stubborn people didn't have a very friendly impression of me..."

Capone sighed slightly.

Back then, Taishan gave up his throne to become a pirate, and almost didn't make those old guys in the voodoo tribe go crazy.

"Since there is a problem with Colt, it may backfire if I come forward again. So, before this matter is fully clarified, I probably can't help much..."

"Even if necessary, I want you to help me confirm whether Colt has really joined the World Headquarters!"

......

After hanging up the phone, Raymond was absorbed in digesting what Capone said just now.

He originally thought that with the intervention of Capone, it would be easy to solve the curse of Arno, but he didn't want to make it more complicated because of the complicated situation in the kingdom of giants.

"Forget it, since grandma can't help, I have to go there myself."

Raymond frowned, and things seemed to be back to the far side.

Fortunately, a little trick was arranged before, at least Yano's curse is not completely hopeless.

After thinking about it, he didn't ask Capone to go to an acquaintance to ask for a relationship, but decided to go there in person and meet the voodoo and secret art elder Luqika first.

After listening to what Capone said before, it is not difficult for Raymond to see that the layout of the World Headquarters in the Kingdom of Giants has already begun, and the degree of penetration has far exceeded the appearance.

Lei Meng also had to be vigilant, if that Luqika was also infiltrated by the World Headquarters, wouldn't they deliver the goods to the door?

Without much delay, he left the laboratory and went directly to "Old Hogg's Potion Shop" at the foot of the sacred tree.

......

Recently, the city of Jaffatron is very lively, because the news of the ancient dwarf ruins has spread here, and countless adventurers flock into the city every day, and the city is full of people.

Tucker Battle of the Twelve Sages and his party were wiped out. This is a more serious "special event" than the situation in the Kingdom of Giants.The response of the World Headquarters was also extremely fast, and soon a large number of secret agents sneaked into the city.

Now there are countless adventurers sneaking into the dungeon to hunt for treasure every day, and it will be more and more troublesome for the people of the World Headquarters to investigate the truth.

Raymond came to "Old Hogg's Potion Shop" again.

Because of the previous foreshadowing, the favorability has been brushed to "friendly".

He chatted and spat with old Hogg familiarly, and soon brought the topic to Lu Qika, the elder of the secret method.

Coincidentally, Old Hogg actually said that Elder Luchika is on Potion Avenue, and he happens to be free today, so we can arrange a meeting for him!

......

Soon,

Raymond took old Hogg's bronzing letter of introduction and came to the door of a high-level voodoo laboratory.

There was a huge Pteranodon guarding the door. It looked at the dwarf human in front of it and said, "Human, what do you want?"

Lei Meng quickly took out the letter of introduction, handed it over, and said politely: "Honorable Elder Luchika, I am recommended by Mr. Hogg, and I want to ask you about the mysteries of voodoo mysteries."
