The Alternatives of the Tianlong Family

Page 47

Seeing that the other four elderly men remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescing, the bald old man was even more confused.

"No? Is it really possible for an ordinary person not to be interested in power? You called a few of Is's men?" he continued.

One of the elderly men poured himself a cup of hot tea, calmly returned to the sofa, and after moistening his throat, slowly spoke: "All the bodyguards have been called over. Actually, you are not wrong about one thing: there really is no ordinary person in the world who is not interested in power."

"However... those guys around Is... none of them are ordinary people!!!"

Another elderly man added, "At first, we wanted to put some pressure on them when they came in, so that it would be easier to discuss things later, but... we didn't expect that they would put pressure on us instead. These young people are all ridiculously strong these days!"

"What do you mean?"

To be honest, their words left the bald old man increasingly confused. He had only been gone for a little over half an hour, so why did everything seem to have changed since he returned?

"The gist is that each of Is's five bodyguards is comparable to a Marine Admiral!!!"

"..."

"????"

Seeing their serious expressions, the bald old man suddenly realized what was going on.

"No way, what the hell is going on? Where did he find so many powerful individuals? Why have we never encountered such formidable characters during our naval recruitment process???"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? But the thing is, that kid Is did it."

"Is this kid a miracle of life???" the bald old man quipped.

At this moment, Is was still on his way back, unaware that Madara Uchiha and the others had already gone to meet the Five Elders.

However, what puzzled Is was that he initially thought the Five Elders wanted to meet with him to tell him something important.

Good heavens, once he arrived, he asked questions like how his trip was, whether the king of the member state had paid his respects, and so on. The questions got more and more outrageous, leaving Is completely bewildered.

However, as he walked, Is thought of something. He didn't think that the highest leader of a world government would talk to him about such trivial topics.

Moreover, only one elderly man was present, while the other four were not. The most likely explanation for this is that they were carrying out another task.

Sure enough, after Is returned to the castle, Madara Uchiha and his group told him everything that had happened since they left.

The result was different from what I had imagined, but not by much.

"What do you plan to choose, Is? I'd like to hear your opinion," Yoriichi Tsugikuni asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall focused their attention on Is.

Is was silent for a moment, then gestured for the maid who was massaging him to leave before speaking: "I don't need anyone to teach me how to do things, so I will not follow their arrangements and join that so-called boring Celestial Dragons power structure."

"As expected, this isn't what I thought. When those old men asked this question, I already guessed the answer Is had in mind," Uchiha Madara chimed in from the side.

“That makes a lot of sense. The so-called power structure is just a system they created. Why should we follow their system?” Acnologia also expressed his opinion.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's put this topic behind us. Minian, take a few people and tidy up. Make two rooms for Retsu Unohana and Yoriichi Tsugikuni," Is instructed from the side.

"Good master!!"

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two days have passed.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Retsu Unohana have both integrated well into this big family.

Moreover, their arrival made the place even more lively.

Is is still the same as always, spending most of his time cultivating his physique.

As for Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Retsu Unohana, they learned the most practical skills of this world, namely, Haki, under the guidance of Madara Uchiha.

However, what Isa didn't expect was that after Yoriichi Tsugikuni learned Armament Haki, his situation was the same as that of Madara Uchiha and Acnologia, and he directly awakened Conqueror's Haki.

In other words, as of now, Isaiah possesses four types of Conqueror's Haki, including himself.

As for Tornado and Retsu Unohana, who haven't awakened yet, no one knows the specific reason.

As usual, Is got up early in the morning to exercise.

"Is, the newspaper! There are topics here that might interest you."

Tornado held a piece of bread in one hand and a newspaper in the other, eating bread and reading the newspaper as she slowly walked towards Is.

Is stopped what he was doing and took the newspaper after Tornado got closer.

After glancing at it, Is chuckled.

"After attacking a member state of the World Government, Shiki encountered the Roger Pirates and a battle ensued."

After reading the title, Is quickly looked at the content, which roughly said that after Golden Lion attacked a member state of the World Government, he encountered the Roger Pirates and a battle ensued.

The article does not mention well-known figures such as Lox and Charlotte Linlin.

This clearly means that the Rocks Pirates were carrying out their plans separately, and his encounter with Whitebeard a few days ago is the best explanation for this.

Such actions can quickly have a certain impact on world governments.

The final result was obvious: how could Golden Lion alone possibly defeat the entire Roger Pirates?

If Shiki hadn't been a user of the Float-Float Fruit, he wouldn't have been able to escape at all.

Is flipped through the newspaper and found a stack of the latest wanted posters behind it.

Soon, Is put the newspaper behind him and started looking at the bounty poster.

It's gotten longer, my friends! The author is no longer writing short and weak chapters. An update is here! Please subscribe, please subscribe, please subscribe! Those of you who have been waiting for a while, please give me a suggestion, thank you! Dear readers...

Chapter 73

"From the Roger Pirates!!"

Is's focus was initially on Roger's portrait; he only noticed the name and bounty later.

"Gol D. Roger, captain of the Roger Pirates, has a bounty of 25 billion Berries!"

"Roger Pirates, Silvers Rayleigh, bounty 1.95 billion Berries."

"Roger Pirates, Sparky Jabba, bounty 17 billion Berries."

Apart from Roger's significant increase, the increases of his other members were only average.

Is flipped through the pages, and what appeared before him was the bounty poster for the Rocks Pirates.

"Rocks Xebec, captain of the Rocks Pirates, has a bounty of 43 billion Berries!"

"Rocks Pirates, Executive Officer, Edward Newgate, 22 billion."

"Shiki, a member of the Rocks Pirates, has a bounty of 21.5 billion."

Charlotte Linlin, a member of the Rocks Pirates.

····

If we're talking about which of the two pirate crews saw the biggest increase in power, it's undoubtedly the Rocks Pirates.

The main reason for this increase is the attacks on Marine Headquarters, the attacks on the Holy Land Mary Geoise, and the continuous plundering of the World Government's member states during this period.

"Well, isn't this explosive news?" Tornado said softly while eating bread.

"This is indeed explosive news."

Is smiled, sat down in a chair to the side, placed the newspaper on the table, and waved.

Soon, the maid brought him milk and bread.

Is took a bite of bread, realized something was wrong, then looked at the maid and asked, "Who made breakfast today?"

"What's wrong? Does it taste off?"

Before the maid could speak, Tornado answered first and then sat down on a chair next to her.

"It's a little different from what I've eaten before, I guess you made it."

Is smiled faintly. In fact, the thought had already crossed his mind when he realized the taste was off.

"Is it not good? I feel like mine is no different from Minnie's." Tornado pouted, slightly unconvinced.

Is took big bites of bread, mumbling as he said, "No, nothing like that. You've improved a lot, Tornado. At least you won't burn the pastries like you did the first time."

Of course, what Is said is true. After spending some time with Minnie, Tornado has made great progress. Before, her cooking was terrible, but now, she can barely be considered to be at the beginner level.

"Really? You're not lying to me, Is?"

“There’s no point in me lying to you; you can do it more often in the future,” Is explained.

Tornado stared blankly for a few seconds, seemingly confirming what Is had said—there was no point in deceiving herself.

"it is good."

Tornado smiled slightly, a rare moment of humility, devoid of arrogance.

After saying that, she excitedly entered the castle.

After finishing his breakfast, Is did not continue his cultivation but returned to the castle to change his clothes.

Yes, in these past few days, Is has adopted a completely new training method, which is to occasionally have a special sparring session.

After all, there is always a limit to how much one person can cultivate. But if two people train by sparring, it's a different story. Not only can it improve practical experience, but the effect on combat power is also far greater than that of cultivating alone.

Who won the draw?

After changing his clothes, Is returned to the hall and asked a question.

“Madara!” Yoriichi Tsugikuni replied.

"I seriously suspect that Ban cheated, but I have no proof," Acnologia complained, his luck was just too bad.

"Come on, Acnologia, you're just jealous," Tornado retorted.

Hahahaha...

This was followed by bursts of laughter.

Although they occasionally bicker, neither of them gets really angry. They can all accept some of the teasing from their friends, and their relationship is not affected by these trivial matters at all, which makes Is very gratified.

"What about spots?"

"Ban, are you changing your clothes? You said you're changing into your battle suit?" Retsu Unohana said with a smile.

····

"Combat suit?"
