Morgan saw Ryuma and, as if he had seen a big star, rushed over immediately!
"You're the ancient swordsman Ryuma?" Morgan said, picking up his camera and taking pictures nonstop.
Ryuma looked at him with a displeased expression and said slowly, "What do you want..."
"Excuse me, are you really the ancient dragon-slaying samurai?" Morgan said, looking at him expectantly.
Ryuma said gloomily, "What's there to pretend about? It is what it is. If it's not, it's not. Do you think I'm lying to you?"
Morgan put away his camera and took out a notebook and paper, quickly taking notes. He said, "So that's how it is... Then, if two of the Marine Admirals come to Wano Country, how will you deal with them..."
"This is annoying, chattering away. Get him out of here." Ryuma said calmly, a hint of impatience in his eyes.
Hearing this, Jack immediately stopped Morgan, glared at him, and said, "Stop it. Our boss doesn't want to be interviewed today."
"What?" Morgan was even more anxious when he heard this, "I'm the president of the news agency! How can you do this to me?"
"What's so special about being the president of a news agency? If you push me too far, I'll kill you too!" Jack said, glaring at him.
Ryuma stopped and said, "Although this bird is annoying... but he's a guest after all. Be polite to him, don't scare him."
After saying that, Ryuma left.
Ryuma didn't want to be interviewed for a simple reason.
He didn't want anyone to know about Wano Country.
Right now, Wano Country had been ravaged by Kaido, but many people in the world still thought that Wano Country was a land of samurai, a flourishing place. Ryuma thought that letting everyone know that he had been resurrected was enough; there was no need to do anything else.
If the true situation of Wano Country was reported, then... the whole of Wano Country would become fat in the eyes of others. Countless pirates would come!
Ryuma walked out step by step. He saw Kizaru and Akainu!
When Ryuma saw the two of them, his brow furrowed, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
It was clear that the two of them were more imposing than he had imagined.
Kizaru was the Flash Man. He could turn any part of his body into light and possess the speed of light. He could carry out light-speed attacks and light-speed movements. His destructive power was so strong that he could kick down large buildings with one foot.
As for Akainu, he was probably the strongest of the three Admirals!
Akainu. He was the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, a Logia type user of the Magu Magu no Mi!
Akainu adhered to absolute justice. He was upright in character, cruel in his methods, and left no room for mercy. He would not allow the existence of even a hint of evil. He would do anything to complete his mission, and he could ruthlessly eliminate his comrades and ordinary citizens as targets without hesitation.
He would rather kill a hundred innocent people than let one guilty person escape. It could be said that he had no humanity at all!
Ryuma stared straight at him. After a while, he said, "Two Admirals, you've traveled a long way. You've come to Wano Country today. I assume you have something to discuss?"
Kizaru was about to say something, but Akainu glared at him, and Kizaru could only pout and stretch out his hand, not saying anything.
Akainu sneered, "Nothing, we just heard that you defeated Kaido. We're here on behalf of the Marines to celebrate with Wano Country."
Hearing this, Ryuma smiled and nodded.
"Heh... I didn't expect Akainu to be so roundabout with his words now. It's not his style." Ryuma thought to himself. But this was definitely Sengoku's order.
Ryuma rolled his eyes and said to Akainu and Kizaru, "Come in. Don't stand here."
After Ryuma finished speaking, he took them to the General's Mansion.
"Tsk tsk tsk... your Wano Country is truly a flourishing place."
Kizaru didn't stand on ceremony. He acted as if he were in his own home, picked up a glass of water, and gulped it down.
"Of course. Our Wano Country is the land of samurai. We have no shortage of samurai." Ryuma said with a smile.
Of course, Ryuma felt a little guilty when he said this.
After all... where did all these samurai come from?
Wano Country was now weak. It could be said that only the Flower Capital was barely presentable.
Akainu coughed lightly and said to Ryuma with a serious expression, "Mr. Ryuma... since we're here, let's not beat around the bush."
"Yeah, go ahead."
Ryuma nodded slightly.
"We're here to ask you to represent Wano Country and join the World Government member states."
Hearing this, Ryuma was stunned.
They... wanted Wano Country to join the member states?
Are you kidding me?
Since the World Government was established, until today, Wano Country had always been dismissive and had never paid any attention to the World Government. There were so many countries in the world, and the World Government wouldn't be lacking a Wano Country.
The World Government had over 170 member states, even the Ryugu Kingdom was a member state.
At this time, Akainu seemed to have seen through Ryuma's thoughts. He rolled his eyes and smiled, "Mr. Ryuma, don't worry. The World Government has given you enough authority. If Wano Country joins the member states, you won't have to pay the World Government's tribute."
Ryuma chuckled bitterly.
To become a member state of the World Government, you had to pay the World Government's tribute. It wasn't free!
Poor countries couldn't afford it. Even if they could, they would need the people to scrimp and save. The World Government's tribute was a huge sum, very expensive.
Therefore, in Ryuma's impression, the World Government was the embodiment of evil!
Where did all the World Government's tribute go after it was collected?
Without a doubt!
It went to the Celestial Dragons!
After the Celestial Dragons collected the World Government's tribute, some countries had problems with food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
But as long as you became a member state of the World Government, no matter what danger you were in, you could ask the World Government for help, and the World Government would send reinforcements immediately!
Ryuma couldn't believe that they weren't collecting tribute... and they were going to make Wano Country a member state without any conditions?
But Ryuma didn't care.
Ryuma wasn't stupid. He knew that the World Government's actions were just an olive branch to him, to have another strong person in the World Government?
If Ryuma was a pirate, they would probably make him a Shichibukai, right?
Ryuma shook his head with a smile and said, "Thank you for the kindness of Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the World Government... but Wano Country will not join the member states."
Hearing this, the smile on Akainu's face gradually froze, "Mr. Ryuma, you're really making us disappointed. As you can see, Wano Country is not a member state. It used to be peaceful. After Kaido came to Wano Country, it became a lawless place. The reason it became a lawless place is because Wano Country is not a member state of the World Government and is not protected by the Marines who belong to the World Government."
Ryuma sneered.
"Protecting the world, isn't that something your World Government should do? Aren't you Marines supposed to punish evil and promote good, uphold justice? What's wrong? Do you need to pay you to uphold justice?"
Kizaru frowned, looking impatient, "I say, why are you so ungrateful? Didn't we just say that if Wano Country joins the World Government member states, you don't have to pay any fees?"
"Oh... we don't need to. Wano Country doesn't need the World Government's protection... and I don't trust the World Government at all. Please leave."
Akainu and Kizaru looked at each other, their expressions filled with embarrassment.
They couldn't believe that Ryuma would actually refuse the World Government's protection!
Joining the member states unconditionally was a dream come true for many countries, but Ryuma, in his place, actually refused, and he even gave the two Marine Headquarters Admirals the cold shoulder.
"Tsk tsk... Mr. Ryuma, are you really not going to reconsider?"
Kizaru frowned and said.
"Yeah, that's right. No need to reconsider, and no need for protection. Please leave."
After hearing this, the two Admirals' faces turned ugly.
Ryuma knew it as clearly as day. He really didn't need the World Government's protection. Besides, he was planning to hijack the execution in the next few days. He didn't want to get too close to the World Government.
"Since Mr. Ryuma is unwilling, then we'll have to excuse ourselves!"
Akainu roared.
"Hmph, it seems you really have ulterior motives. It's not voluntary, is it? If you don't join the member states, are you going to kill us?" Ryuma said with a smile, teasing them.
Although Ryuma was confident, he was still a little worried.
With his current strength, fighting one Admiral while protecting himself would be no problem, but if it were two Admirals, it would be a bit too much!
"I'll go first..."
Kizaru said, walking out step by step, "Just so I can see for myself how powerful the ancient dragon-slaying samurai is."
Akainu didn't listen to Kizaru, but walked in front of him, his arm covered in magma!
"Kizaru... don't be so careless. He's the man who killed Kaido. Let's go together, to make sure nothing goes wrong!"
Ryuma stared straight at Kizaru, his black blade Shusui already drawn, ready to fight at any moment.
He didn't dare to be careless against someone of this level.
Two Admiral-level figures, if they were just dealing with Kaido, it would be very simple.
At the same time, Ryuma felt his life being threatened!
"Ding-dong, new mission incoming! Host, drive the two Admirals out of Wano Country, and you can get one chance to draw a prize."
Hearing this, Ryuma chuckled bitterly.
This... this is too ridiculous!
Drive away two people, and you get one chance to draw a prize?
