However, Smith did not say a word about the information related to "Zefa".

To get to this position, Smith certainly has a certain amount of research on speech.

He knew that what a young man of Hailan's age hated most was living under the aura of the elders in his own family.

Some words, not mentioned, are not necessarily true, but they are definitely not wrong.

Hailan unceremoniously sat across from Smith, right in Bucky's position: "Say, what do you want me to do?" Could it be that I was invited to coffee? ”

Smith retreated, looking quite confident in his own strength.

Hailan naturally didn't show weakness and let Bucky and the three of them also walk out.

Smith made a cup of coffee for Hailan to show his sincerity.

But Hailan didn't even touch it, and the bureaucratic style was full.

Smith was a little surprised, "Could it be that Colonel Hailan is afraid that I will poison you?" ”

Hailan leaned back, "Let's get straight to the point." ”

Hailan knows very well that in the eyes of people like Smith, nothing else is important except interests.

And if you want to win the right to speak in Smith, you need to have enough strength, including money, combat power and power, and small details like coffee are worthless.

Smith smiled slightly: "Sure enough, it's a young man, he just likes to go straight." ”

Wiping his hands with a white handkerchief, Smith spoke: "For us businessmen, profit is everything; Then let me ask Colonel Hailan, what is the most important thing for a navy? ”

Seeing that Hailan didn't mean to answer, Smith continued: "It's military merit! ”

"Only by constantly obtaining military merits can we continue to be promoted, whether it is to be promoted and make a fortune, or to maintain greater justice, military merit is indispensable for a navy.

Presumably, Colonel Hailan must have come to Chambord to arrest human traffickers for military merit, right? And I, on the other hand, can provide you with military merits. ”

Seeing Hailan smile disdainfully, Smith replied disappretently, "Don't say that you are here to uphold justice.

If there is any place in the world where justice is the least dignified, I am afraid it is this Chambord. ”

This is the back garden of the Draconians, the burial ground of justice.

Just like what Hailan said to Colonel Hill in Rogue Town, as long as the Draconians exist for one day, there will be no justice in this world.

However, this does not mean that the Navy cannot do anything.

"What can you give me?"

"You see, I've already caught the culprit of this human trafficking operation for you, and the poor people who were caught are now in the basement under the protection of my people, and if Colonel Hailan wants it, I can give these to you."

"And what do you want?"

"Actually, what I want is very simple, I don't even need Colonel Hailan to pay anything, I just need you to stop meddling in this impossible business."

There was silence in the room for a moment, and just when Smith thought that Hai Lan was considering the pros and cons of this, Hai Lan suddenly laughed: "Goldfinger, Goldfinger, have you been doing business too smoothly all these years?" Think no one dares to question your arrangement? ”

"What do you mean?"

Hai Lan's eyes lit up: "If you hadn't intervened, now that I had caught the traffickers and rescued those poor people, now you have snatched the credit from me, but you still have to make conditions with me, do you really think that in this lawless zone, the navy will not dare to care about you at all?"

And, where's my Devil Fruit?! ”

At first, Smith's heart was already cold, and when he heard the Devil Fruits, he laughed again: "So you are for those two Devil Fruits?" ”

Smith got up and brought over a box on the table behind him.

"Colonel Hailan, if you want, you said it earlier, I can give them to you!"

Smith opened the box, and Hailan glanced at it, and couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

"Animal, Snake Fruit, Cobra Form" and "Animal Snake, Snake Fruit, Python Form".

It's exactly like the picture on the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book.

These two Devil Fruits are already among the best species in the animal system, but Hailan really can't look down on them.

No wonder Smith was willing to give it to Hailan.

Seeing that Hailan was unmoved, Smith was slightly surprised, he had already guessed that Hailan recognized the two Devil Fruits.

Hailan suddenly smiled: "You said there is no justice here, right?" ”

Smith didn't answer.

Hailan closed the box of the Devil Fruit and handed it to Smith with her own hands.

"Since Mr. Smith wants to be friends with me, I can't afford not to lose face, right?

The two Devil Fruits were given to Mr. Smith as a greeting gift.

However, I am a soft-hearted person who can't see children suffering, so it's better for you to sell me a face, and if you catch slaves in the future, don't catch children. ”

Smith narrowed his eyes: "I don't know how old a child is?" ”

"Under normal circumstances, our navy can only officially enlist at the age of 18, so don't arrest anyone under the age of 18."

"That can't be."

"Or, under 16?"

"The Celestial Dragons can't pass that level!"

"That's under 14, that's my bottom line!"

Smith weighed the value of a boy under the age of 14 and finally agreed to Hailan's request.

"One more thing, I will take all the slaves that Richard captured this time."

"Of course, this is your military exploit."

Through Smith's unique ability to catch Richard and the momentum exuded from him, Hailan judged that he was not the opponent of this old mafia.

Those two snake and snake fruits should be exchanged with Smith for the age line of slaves, otherwise blindly ask for it, in case Smith is forced to be anxious, it will be more than two devil fruits to lose.

Smith poured a glass of wine for each of them: "Cheers to our friendship!" ”

But Hailan only clinked glasses with Smith, but did not drink the wine.

This means that the two of them will never have trust.

……

The slaves, led by Bucky, formed a long procession in tattered clothes and followed Hailan away from the Richard family, which would never exist again.

Bucky leaned over to Hailan and asked in a low voice, "Sir, is the 14-year-old age limit you mentioned useful?" It's rare for a 14-year-old to be taken as a slave, right? Not a few. I don't think it's worth offending such a sea thief for this. ”

"Because the Draconians are the biggest slave buyers, don't we dare to do anything in the Navy?"

Looking at the glazed slaves behind him, as well as the few children who were carried on the back of the lion Niche, Hailan sighed: "If the sky is not always bright, then live in the dark; If it's dangerous to make a sound, keep silent. ”

"But we can't be complacent about our own survival, the seedlings of justice can be very weak, but they will never die, these slaves, if they can save one more, it will be counted as one."

"The navy is immortal, justice is immortal!"

Regarding the Devil Fruit, it's not to deliberately whet everyone's appetite, but in addition to the system, I don't want to give Hailan any other aura - if you want a Devil Fruit, this is here, how can there be such a good thing?

I want everyone to feel that the physical skills and devil fruits are all worked hard by Hailan himself little by little.

But don't worry, the Devil Fruit won't be far away, and these chapters of Chambord will appear in the past.
