Chapter 242 Conspiracy with the Golden Lion
"Luke, Barrett is right. You are the one who is collecting the data of Pluto. If you leave, the research on Pluto will be put on hold." Vegapunk also persuaded.
Although he has an IQ that is 500 years ahead of ordinary people, he is only one person after all and cannot do everything by himself.
He had been following Luke when he was at the World Government's research base. If Luke left, although he could quickly record Luke's statistics, this would also delay his other research.
Moreover, Luke's strength is average, and he can't play a big role whether he follows Barrett to capture people or to guard.
Staying to do research can actually help Ling Xiao become stronger.
"Luke, just listen to Barrett. I have to leave Helios to guard Lingxiao. You can stay in Helios and accompany your mother." Zefa didn't want Luke to take risks either.
Luke was seriously injured when he was a child, and his talent for cultivation is average. Although he later had a devil fruit to supplement it, his talent for cultivation is still average after all.
After so many years, his strength is only at the level of major general. If he goes to guard the garrison, he also has to keep an eye on Luke at all times.
It would be much safer to stay in Helios.
"All right!"
After hearing the persuasion of several people, Luke no longer insisted. He also knew that his strength was average. The reason why he spoke just now was just because he was worried about Rhine and Zefa. Now that he has calmed down, he naturally thinks it through.
After dealing with Luke, Barrett turned to Rayleigh and said, "Teacher, after Jin and I leave, you will be in charge of Helios."
"At that time, let Mr. Zephyr, Mihawk, Enelu, and Johnson lead the troops to garrison Rock Island."
"You and the others sit in Helios."
"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong with me here." Rayleigh said with a smile.
Although his strength has not increased much over the years, because of the pure gold, he has always maintained his peak combat power. Even if he fights against other emperors, he can hold out for a few days.
"Boss, Green Bull is still guarding the Red Earth Continent."
At this time, Jhin walked over and spoke in a deep voice.
"Still in the Red Earth Continent."
Barrett narrowed his eyes, with a serious look on his face. If Green Bull was somewhere else, he and Jhin would have a great chance of success if they attacked at the same time.
But in the Red Earth Continent, he had no confidence at all. After all, with his current strength, he was no match for Im.
Zephyr and Luke also looked panicked. The appearance of the black dragon and the fact that there has been someone on the throne of the Celestial Dragons for eight hundred years was no secret. Zephyr was originally a high-ranking navy official and knew that there were many strong people on the Red Earth Continent. Even if Im did not appear, Barrett and Jhin might not be able to capture Green Bull after attacking the Red Earth Continent.
Jin continued, "But Boss, when I was asking about Green Bull's location just now, Master's Wife also told me that Ghost Spider and Flying Squirrel left the headquarters on a submarine, apparently heading for the North Sea."
"Beihai, is the navy going to take action against the old lion?" Rayleigh said in surprise.
"I think it's because the old lion is too violent and rampant. If the navy doesn't take action against him, he won't survive for long." Jhin sighed.
After the Golden Lion entered the North Sea, it went crazy and massacred many member countries in the North Sea, being extremely provocative to the World Government.
But the Golden Lion had no one under his command, and was unpopular. After several world wars, it was almost isolated.
"That old guy really deserves it. He turned the North Sea into a purgatory." Zefa said hatefully.
When he first saw the information about the Golden Lion, he was so angry that he almost rushed to the North Sea with a knife.
Finally, it was Rhine who reminded him that he had left the navy.
But that didn't stop him from hating the Golden Lion.
"The navy will not be able to destroy the old lion this time when it goes to the North Sea."
Barrett has a different opinion. He has known Golden Lion for many years. Although Golden Lion is now old, White Snake and a few lieutenant generals alone cannot defeat Golden Lion.
"Boss, with Golden Lion's temperament, if all his men were killed, he would definitely go crazy and fight to the death. How could he not die?" Jhin retorted.
"Yes! That old guy is a madman and extremely arrogant. He will never run away. He is old now and his strength has declined. After a long battle, he will be exhausted and will definitely not escape unless someone saves him." Rayleigh agreed.
Although Zephyr, Luke, and Vegapunk didn't say anything, they all agreed very much, especially Zephyr. He and Golden Lion are old rivals and know Golden Lion very well. He didn't believe that Golden Lion would choose to escape after all his men were killed.
Barrett smiled evilly and said, "Isn't Green Bull in the Red Earth Continent? Rather than letting the Golden Lion end up in the North Sea, I'd rather give him a grand funeral and let him vent his anger in the Red Earth Continent."
"So, I decided to go to the North Sea first to rescue the Golden Lion, and then let the Golden Lion go to the Red Earth Continent to make a big fuss. We will take the opportunity to capture the Green Bull."
"Will the old guy agree?" Zefa asked excitedly. If the Golden Lion really went to the Red Earth Continent, with the strength of the Golden Lion King, he would definitely cause chaos in the Red Earth Continent, and then the success rate of capturing the Green Bull would be much higher.
Luke also looked at Barrett expectantly.
Rayleigh and Jhin seemed to be deep in thought. They had both been opponents of the Golden Lion and had come into contact with each other, so they had some understanding of the Golden Lion.
Barrett's idea may seem far-fetched, but he might actually succeed.
Law and Vegapunk, not knowing Golden Lion, waited for Barrett's answer.
"He can."
Barrett affirmed, "Golden Lion is aloof and arrogant, a true hero. After all his men are wiped out, he will definitely want to die in battle."
"But the Golden Lion values his reputation very much. Compared to being lonely in the North Sea, he will definitely choose to make a big fuss in the Red Earth Continent and choose a grand funeral for his last battle."
After hearing Barrett's analysis, if the Golden Lion is really as Barrett said, then he will definitely choose to start his last battle in the Red Earth Continent.
Then, Jin thought of something and said with a wry smile, "Boss, although the Golden Lion is strong, the one on the Red Earth Continent is also very strong. The Golden Lion should not be able to buy much time."
"So, I will help the Golden Lion stop Im, and the task of capturing the Green Bull will be left to you."
Since he decided to lure the Golden Lion to the Red Earth Continent, Barrett naturally had to take Im into consideration. Otherwise, with Im's strength, it would be too easy to kill the Golden Lion and it wouldn't take much effort.
Hearing this, Jin thought carefully for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Boss, although I am confident that I am stronger than Green Bull and it would be easy for me to catch him if I were given time, there are still four remaining Five Elders and other strong men on the Red Earth Continent. I am not completely sure of catching Green Bull."
"Barrett, why don't you come with us? Jhin and I should be able to catch Green Bull quickly by working together." Zephyr said anxiously.
"No, Mr. Zephyr, although you can quickly suppress Green Bull by teaming up with Jhin, you are not fast and it is easy for you to be entangled by others when retreating." Barrett shook his head.
Although Zephyr is very powerful, he does not have the ability to fly. Even if he catches Green Bull and retreats, he might be delayed and fall back. If he fails to catch Green Bull, he will get trapped instead, which would be troublesome.
