“Oh, why do you ask that Mr. Wolf?”
Allan asked in surprise, he expected some questions, but this question he did not expect.
“As far as I know, my reputation isn’t that good even in Pleasure Town let alone anywhere else, so I want to ask you why you are really here. What is your true purpose?”
Wolf explained with his guard slowly increasing.
“You really are a smart person Mr. Wolf, I really didn’t know a lot about your reputation, but there’s a reason why I trust your skills.”
Allan explained with a smile and finally pointing below Wolf.
“That is my confidence, if I’m not mistaken, that’s an improvised rifle, regarding its performance, Mr. Wolf should have a clearer idea.”
Allan smiled.
Although Allan wasn’t too knowledgeable about guns, he’d already seen the level of guns in this world.
The level varies but most of them weren’t that good, Wolf’s rifle looked much better than the rifles he’d seen in this world and in the series.
“Just because of this rifle? You are willing to fund me and my research? Aren’t you scared I’ll just use your money and run?”
Wolf asked with confusion.
This world did have people who would give their trust at first sight, but this was also a world filled with deception and betrayal.
“I really don’t like to lie Mr. Wolf, I apologize for what I said earlier, not everything I said earlier was true, I’m actually here for someone else, but I know and have heard about you so seeing the rifle in your hand, I knew you had the skills, my offer stands true with not a bit of lie mixed in. As for my main purpose in coming here, I needed a guide.”
Allan explained while waving his hand.
He really didn’t like to lie, his knowledge of Wolf was already a lie to some extent but he couldn’t explain that he’d read a novel about Wolf, Law, and his gang, as well as Wolf’s son right?
“A guide? Where?”
Wolf asked in surprise, guards fully raised.
Even Gin started to tense up.
Although Wolf was old, his threat was real, Allan and Gin were nowhere near their peak and were still not considered a powerhouse, so Wolf’s improvised rifle was threatening to them.
“Sigh, I was honest when I said we come in peace Mr. Wolf, and I was honest about my offer, as for who the guide is, it should be that little guy Law.”
Allan finally said, he was also on his guard but he wasn’t sure whether Iron Body could endure Wolf’s rifle, so his first course of action was to use Shave if things turned really sour.
“Law? What do you mean?”
Wolf asked.
Law and the others had long since arrived and looked at the tense scene, Law especially was extremely sensitive.
“Did Doflamingo send you to find me?”
Law asked with gritted teeth.
“Doflamingo? No, although someone asked me for a favor, it’s for someone named Russian, have you heard of her Law?”
Allan asked.
“Russian? Who’s that?”
Law didn’t really know about her.
Since Russian hated Pirates, Señor Pink has long since kept her existence a secret, especially to the new members of the Donquixote Pirates.
Hearing Law’s question, Wolf raised his rifle, aiming at Allan, Gin almost exploded but Allan stopped him.
“You know it’s not very polite to point guns at people right? Mr. Artur Wolf?”
Allan said slowly with narrow eyes.
Even so, Allan endured because he was really interested in hiring a scientist.
As someone who could create a greenhouse that could grow crops in winter, and a submarine that could traverse on any surface, just his current achievements meant Allan had profited from his investment, but seeing the gun barrel pointed directly at him, Allan was not happy at all, he took his safety very seriously so…
Shave!
Allan disappeared and appeared beside Wolf who was still stunned at Allan’s mention of his full name.
Allan’s hand held the old man’s neck while disarming his rifle and throwing it to Gin, disappeared, and reappeared on his seat.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“Now can we continue talking?”
Allan said with a grin.
Wolf couldn’t help but slump on his seat, Allan’s grip wasn’t strong, but he knew that if Allan wanted to, he could crush his neck in less than a second.
Law’s eyes also widened from surprise, he’d seen how strong the Donquixote Family members were, but none of them moved like Allan did.
“Well then, I’ll continue my story okay?”
Allan said with a smile.
“Russian’s grandfather Mr. Luke has long wanted to reunite with his granddaughter, for almost 20 years he spent his fortune to send mercenaries to North Blue, but to no avail, so when I found him to ask him to do something for our family, he told me his request, find his granddaughter Russian, although I have information, I’m not very familiar with Spider Miles, as an ex-member of the Donquixote Family, I thought Brother Law here could help us find her as a guide.”
Allan explained.
“But I really don’t know who Russian is!”
Law said in frustration, although he now has a devil fruit, with how quick Allan was, he stood no chance and didn’t even have any time to use his devil fruit ability.
“Of course I believe you Brother Law, but you should know someone right? Someone named Señor Pink?”
Allan asked.
“Please stop talking in circles!”
Law replied.
“Well, to put it simply, Señor Pink’s wife is named Russian, but as I said, I’m not very familiar with Spider Miles, so I need a guide to help us find where Russian lives.”
Allan said with a wry smile.
Although Law was young and short, his voice didn’t sound like a kid at all, quite opposite to Allan’s young voice and mature physique.
Gin wasn’t too surprised about Allan’s actions, sometimes Allan would act mature, and at times he would act like a kid, as for the information Allan had, Gin wasn’t too curious since he usually spent most of his time training himself and the pelicans.
Wolf was a bit surprised after hearing Allan’s explanation, it seemed like he was really mistaken.
“Russian’s family was killed by pirates, so Señor Pink probably didn’t tell her about his true profession, which makes it a bit hard to find Russian without someone who knows Spider Miles.”
Allan added.
Although he could just find someone who knew the area, Spider Miles was Doflamingo’s territory, so Allan would rather not risk being discovered because of asking for directions, but he also couldn’t risk searching for a long time because he didn’t know the area.
If the Donquixote Family had a system to alert them from suspicious strangers then Allan and Gin would be in trouble.
But if Gin and Law partnered together to search Spider Miles, then finding Russian shouldn’t be too hard.
If all else fails and they don’t find Russian by themselves, then they could both follow Señor Pink from afar, but it would be best if they found Russian first before interacting with Señor Pink.
Allan wasn’t really making excuses, Law’s identity as a doctor was important, but his familiarity with the area was equally important and since Allan didn’t know when the Donquixote Family would migrate to another base, then the task would be more urgent than it currently was, as much as possible, Allan wanted to do it without directly clashing with the Donquixote Family because of how weak the Jaeger Family currently was.
He knew full well that he was no match for Doflamingo so he had to do things and leave no trail behind.
“Then, what can you give me if I agree?”
Law asked with gritted teeth, he knew he was no match and that Allan could not easily overpower them, but seeing Allan explain, the rescue mission should be important.
“How mature Brother Law, then how about this, if you help me, I’ll let you join the Jaeger Family, whoever your enemy is will be our, Jaeger Family’s enemy. How about it Brother Law?”
Allan said hands open with a huge grin.
“I, this, from your words, you should know who my enemy is right?”
Law said with surprise.
“Of course I do, but is that important? If you become family, of course they’ll be our enemy.”
Allan said like it was a matter of fact.
“Why? Why would you be willing to do that for me if I join your family?”
Law asked in frustration.
After his tragic experience, only Corazon treated him with warmth, only Corazon treated him like family, but Corazon was now dead.
Law’s current mood was extremely chaotic filled with vengeance and grief.
“Why? Isn’t that what family is supposed to do?”
Allan said with a shake of his head.
“Family? Aren’t the Donquixote also a family?”
Law asked in frustration.
“The so-called Donquixote Family, don’t lump us together with those types of people, which family is like the Donquixote Family? The members fear the one who is supposed to be the head.”
Allan said with disdain, although out of all the villains in One Piece, Doflamingo ranked high in popularity.
Even Allan liked him as a villain in the past, but that was all.
Although Doflamingo seemed to care for his family, how did he treat Monet? Even Monet knew how dispensable she was to Doflamingo, the majority of the so-called family members were scared of Doflamingo, what kind of family is that?
Rather than family, it was more like Doflamingo cared about them as his possessions, he cared about them as objects and not humans.
“To be honest, I invite you to the family because I see potential in you, with your competence as a doctor and your devil fruit ability, as long as you grow old enough, if you claim to be the second best doctor in the world, no one would claim to be the first, with you, our family will have the best doctor in the world, so as long as you join, as long as you treat our family as your family, then I don’t care who your enemy is.”
Allain added.
“But if I join, will your family members really be willing to take on such a powerful enemy?”
Law asked with hesitation.
He also glanced at Gin who had been quiet the entire time thinking that Allan might be lying.
“If Al believes in you, then as long as you join the family, then whoever your enemy is, I will beat them down for you.”
Gin replied with a serious face.
Law was shocked.
How much trust does this person have for Allan, Gin’s serious and plain words had more effect than Allan’s words, not because he didn’t believe in Allan, but because Law could hear the sincere belief that Gin had for Allan.
“How about it Brother Law? Join us, although our family is still a bit young and still needs to grow, I promise you in the future, when we grow up, the person you fear won’t be as scary as you think he is. How about I tell you a secret about Doflamingo?”
Allan said with a grin.
“Donquixote Doflamingo, do you know that there was once a King with the name Donquixote? But he stopped being a king, left his kingdom, and came to Mariejois to rule with the other kings!”
Allan added.
Law was shocked when he heard Allan.
Doflamingo, he, he was a Celestial Dragon!
No! What’s more important was the guy in front of him!
Even knowing Doflamingo’s identity, he held no respect nor fear, only disdain like what he said was nothing for than that.
Gin was also surprised but calmed down immediately.
They once talked about their dream and what it entailed, sooner or later, they’ll become enemies with the World Government, so what if Doflamingo an enemy was a Celestial Dragon?
It was still the same thing.
Seeing Gin be surprised but recover almost immediately, Law couldn’t help but be more astounded, Allan who knew in advance was willing to face the Celestial Dragon, even Gin’s reaction meant that fighting the Celestial Dragons was not something unexpected, and was just surprised for a bit.
