The man who was imprisoned in the 7th floor of the promotion city in One Piece

As Bartolomeo's barrier was shattered, tourists in the square were attracted by the explosion.

Fortunately, Lei Luo stopped his fist in time after destroying Bartolomeo's barrier, without causing any damage to the surrounding things.

Therefore, after those ordinary people did not notice anything unusual, they quickly shifted their attention.

Bartolomeo's barrier was shattered, but Fon Clay, who was watching, didn't feel anything, because he knew Lei Luo's strength and felt that everything was natural.

After all, Lei Luo has a fist that can destroy the door of justice.

But Bartolomeo himself was so surprised that he was speechless for a long time.

Ever since he obtained the barrier fruit and became an esper, he has always looked down upon everyone. In Rogge Town, a place with a very dense flow of people, he has never met anyone who can break his barrier.

In fact, Bartolomeo is not just sitting in a well and looking at the sky. The defensive ability of his barrier is indeed very powerful.

In the original work, Elizabello II, who possesses the Fist of the King, can instantly penetrate the enemy's fortress with just one blow. It is said that even if he is as powerful as the Yonko, he will not be able to withstand his attack.

But the king's fist issued by such a powerful man was easily blocked by Bartolomeo's barrier.

The ability to shield fruits is evident.

But no matter how strong Bartolomeo's barrier is, it is ultimately created by the ability of the Devil Fruit, and Armed Haki is the nemesis of the Devil Fruit.

In addition, Bartolomeo's fruit ability has not been developed to the extreme, and his seemingly unbreakable barrier is vulnerable to Lei Luo's extremely powerful armed color domineering.

"How about it? You can go to sea with me now."

"Senior, no, Captain! I will follow you to the death." Bartolomeo immediately accepted the fact of his defeat, and he did not feel any loss in his heart.

"But I still think Luffy-senpai can become the Pirate King." Bartolomeo said quietly.

Lei Luo smiled and acted as if he didn't hear anything.

……

The three of them started to purchase some necessities in Rogge Town. When the store owners heard that Bartolomeo was preparing to go to sea, they were all very happy and did not charge for anything.

After everything was ready, the three returned to the port.

Bartolomeo looked around, "Captain, where is our ship?"

"That's it, isn't it?"

Bartolomeo looked where Lei Luo was pointing, and his jaw dropped instantly.

"What?! Our ship is actually a warship! As expected of the captain, he is so impressive!"

"Be quiet."

After Bartolomeo's younger brothers moved the travel supplies to the warship, they said goodbye to Bartolomeo.

"Goodbye boss, we will work hard to become stronger and then go to sea to find you!"

"Come on you guys, I'm leaving! Brother Feng, let's go!"

Lei Luo patted him from behind, "You brat, I'm the captain. Let's go!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Von Clay received the order and began to drive the warship to set sail and slowly left Rogge Town.

As soon as the warship left the port, von Clay suddenly remembered something.

"Captain, where are we going next?"

"Let's go shopping first."

"..."

Lei Luo wanted to gather his companions. Although he already had a rough target candidate in mind, Lei Luo was not sure where they were now, so he could only wander around aimlessly.

As the warship sailed into the night, a bat suddenly flew towards them.

"It's the Navy's messenger bat," Von Klay shouted.

When Lei Luo saw the bat, a premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

He stretched out his hand, and the bat immediately released its claws and dropped the letter in his hand. However, the bat did not leave immediately. Instead, it kept circling around his head, as if waiting for Lei Luo's reply.

Lei Luo opened the envelope and took a look, and couldn't help but smile, "As expected."

"Captain, what does the letter say?" Bartolomeo was the most curious and asked immediately.

"Read it yourself." Lei Luo handed the letter to him.

"What!" Bartolomeo took the letter and looked at it, and immediately screamed.

"Eh?!" Von Clay heard the sound and moved forward, "This is really incredible."

The content of the letter was that the navy invited Lei Luo to become the king of the Shichibukai.

The seven great pirates recognized by the World Government are the seven great pirates under the command of the King Shichibukai. Together with the Yonko and the Navy Headquarters, they are also known as the three major forces of the Grand Line.

Every Shichibukai under the king is a great pirate with both strength and reputation.

After becoming the King of the Shichibukai, you will receive special powers and qualifications granted by the World Government. You will no longer be wanted by the government, and previous wanted orders will be invalidated.

As long as the Shichibukai does not openly oppose the World Government, even if the Shichibukai does evil in a region, the government will turn a blind eye or close an eye.

Von Clay's former boss was the former Oshichibukai Crocodile, so he knew more clearly Oshichibukai's status and the navy's intentions.

Lei Luo's performance in the war on the summit shocked the world, but it is obvious that the navy, which was severely damaged after the war, does not have enough power to solve Lei Luo's time bomb.

Since there is no way to deal with Lei Luo, the government can only do the next best thing and choose to recruit Lei Luo, give him some privileges, and let him work for the government.

Wait until the government has enough power to find ways to completely eliminate this hidden danger.

Lei Luo took the letter from their hands, then tore the letter into pieces and threw it into the sea in front of the messenger bat.

"You should know what I mean now, right? Go back."

The bat seemed to understand the human words, and after squawking, it flapped its wings and left.

"Captain, what are you doing? That's the Shichibukai!" Bartolomeo was confused.

"I don't take this mere Shichibukai seriously. I don't want to give up my freedom and become a lackey of the government just because of some petty profits."

"That's it. He is indeed the man I like." Bartolomeo quickly accepted the matter and turned around to praise Lei Luo.

"But Captain, we have rejected the navy's invitation now, and they will definitely send people to deal with us soon." Von Clay expressed his worries.

"It doesn't matter, they can come if they dare, and I will make sure they come back."

Lei Luo's domineering attitude was revealed, and both Bartolomeo and Von Clay believed in his words.

In fact, the reason why Lei Luo rejected the government's invitation to become a Shichibukai was that, in addition to not wanting to become the government's lackey, the other reason was because at the World Conference in two years' time, the King's Shichibukai system would be abolished.

By that time, this title will also lose its effect, and it will even suffer more violent retaliation from all parties.

Although Lei Luo, who is strong enough, is not afraid of anyone, he is also afraid of trouble and does not want to delay his adventure because of other things.
