"Hahaha, Li Yuan, you've finally made up your mind to take down the World Government! With our two pirate crews joining forces, not even the World Government can stop us from ruling the world!"
Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Golden Lion burst into laughter. His greatest wish was to overthrow the World Government and dominate the world.
Since his Flying Pirates couldn't achieve this alone, he naturally wanted to team up with the Infinite Pirates.
Unfortunately, just as he couldn't win Li Yuan over back in the Rocks Pirates days, he would need Li Yuan's agreement to join forces now.
"Golden Lion, I've heard that the creator of the World Government, the one who sits on the empty throne of Mary Geoise, is still alive after eight hundred years!"
"His name is Imu, and he must have mastered some form of longevity technique to live for eight hundred years. He will be our greatest enemy in overthrowing the World Government!"
While Golden Lion was excited, Li Yuan poured cold water on him.
"What? He's lived for eight hundred years!"
Both Golden Lion and Rob Heaven, along with Robi Sky, looked as if they had seen a ghost upon hearing this.
Can a person really live for eight hundred years? At the same time, they looked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was actually over fifty years old, but he still looked like he was in his twenties.
Now they remembered that Li Yuan had consumed the vampire Devil Fruit, which granted long life and preserved youth.
"Don't look at me like that. Although my Devil Fruit allows me to live longer, I can only live to about two hundred years at most. I definitely can't live for eight hundred years!"
While Li Yuan believed he could live for eight hundred years, he wasn't foolish enough to say it out loud.
"Hahaha, an old guy who has lived for eight hundred years? That's truly something to look forward to! Only someone like that is worthy of being defeated by me, Golden Lion!"
Even a pig that lived for eight hundred years would become incredibly powerful, let alone the founder of the World Government. Golden Lion was well aware of this, but it didn't mean he was afraid! No matter what, Imu was just one person. As long as he was human, he had limits. He believed he had already reached the peak of this world, and even if Imu was stronger, it would only be by a little. He was confident he would not lose! "Hahaha, Golden Lion, I love your confidence."
"Let's make it clear beforehand: whoever defeats Imu will be the victor of this war, and whoever will be the boss!"
"If we really unify the world, then there can only be one boss, either you or me!"
Li Yuan said lightly.
After so many years of friendship with Golden Lion, he naturally didn't want to end up with swords drawn, so this had to be agreed upon in advance.
In his view, Golden Lion would definitely not be able to defeat Imu. If Golden Lion lost to Imu while Li Yuan defeated him, then Li Yuan would naturally become the ruler of the world.
"Hahaha, that's a good idea! That Imu will just be a stepping stone for us to rule the world!"
Golden Lion had no objections to this.
He could be said to be the person who understood Li Yuan and the Infinite Pirates the best.
Even though he was reluctant to believe it, he had already realized that his Flying Pirates were weaker than the Infinite Pirates.
This awareness had begun ten years ago during their battle.
The Infinite Pirates possessed powerful technological strength, overwhelming the Flying Pirates in firepower.
Moreover, the Infinite Pirates had a large number of strong cadres, core members, and vice-captains, while the Flying Pirates were significantly weaker in this regard.
With these gaps, even the Flying Pirates' ability to fly couldn't make up for it.
As time passed, although he had taken life extension drugs, he felt that his strength had reached its limit and could no longer grow stronger.
Now, he needed to fulfill his ambition of overthrowing the World Government and ruling the New World before his strength waned!
As for whether the Flying Pirates or the Infinite Pirates would ultimately rule the world, that could only be decided after the World Government was truly overthrown.
Now that Li Yuan had made this clear, it was certainly a good thing, and he was also prepared for the possibility of Li Yuan turning against him.
After all, they were both pirates, and in this battle for the king of the world, there was no room for sentiment! "Then it's settled. Let's start preparing; the action will probably take place in two months!"
"Next, let's each find other pirate crews to form alliances. We can't let those guys watch us fight the World Government and then jump in to cause trouble at the last minute!"
Li Yuan said with a smile.
"Hahaha, that's natural! On the road to world domination, there are only two choices: either join us or be destroyed by us!"
Golden Lion naturally agreed with Li Yuan's statement.
"Old man, isn't this too risky? What if Li Yuan turns against us and goes back on his word?"
After Li Yuan left, Rob Heaven asked with some concern.
"I know all this, but turning against each other can only happen after we overthrow the World Government. Only by eliminating the World Government can what you mentioned happen!"
"And if what Li Yuan said is true, that the World Government has a master who has lived for eight hundred years, then as Li Yuan said, whoever defeats Imu will be the master of the world!"
"If I win, then Li Yuan naturally loses. If I lose, then I, Golden Lion, am not someone who can't afford to lose!"
Golden Lion said.
Although he was a pirate with all the evil traits, he had a very strong sense of pride and was also someone who could take a loss!
"Old man, I think we can secretly form an alliance with Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and other major pirate crews. Even if the Infinite Pirates turn against us, we can still resist them!"
Robi Sky suggested.
"Hahaha, it seems your brains are still somewhat useful. This is definitely something we need to do!"
"Everyone knows who the captains of the major pirate crews are. Once the pirate alliance is formed, it will undoubtedly be led by us, the Flying Pirates and the Infinite Pirates."
"Once the World Government collapses, there will only be two choices: either we, the Flying Pirates, or the Infinite Pirates. At that time, we just need to promise them some benefits, and they will naturally stand with the Flying Pirates."
Golden Lion laughed.
He understood those former "companions" too well; in the eyes of pirates, there was only profit. As long as the benefits were sufficient, they could be won over.
Saying this, he immediately called Reinhardt to start discussing and implementing his plan.
