"Drake?" Lieutenant General He was somewhat impressed and asked, "Is he the boy who was rescued on Mignon Island in the North Sea?"
"That's right..." There was an unnatural pause in Sengoku's voice. Perhaps he thought of Rocinante, who unfortunately died in Mignon. He paused and continued:
"Drake's hometown is Beihai. Now, the entire North Sea is occupied by the Dawn Pirates. He has enough reasons to betray the navy..."
Before Sengoku could finish his words, Garp licked his nostrils and said casually: "The hometown of Sakaski and Porusalino is also Beihai. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to send one of them to serve as an undercover agent?"
Lieutenant General He emphasized his tone and reprimanded: "Garp!"
"..." Garp curled his lips, but after all, he stopped being mean-mouthed.
"Drake has the ability of an ancient species of animals. He will not lose his life so easily against the cadres of the Dawn Pirates." Sengoku gave the second reason.
"There is some truth..." Lieutenant General He nodded, tentatively approving the candidate of the Warring States Period.
"Xiaohe, what, do you have a more suitable candidate?" Warring States could tell that Lieutenant General He had something on his mind.
"..." After a long silence, Lieutenant General He slowly said: "Originally, I wanted to recommend Tina as an undercover agent."
"Tina? That female marine under your command?" Warring States and Garp frowned at the same time.
"Yes." General He lowered his gaze and talked about what happened a few years ago: "Maybe Tina and Kui Long have an old relationship."
"Even if there is an old relationship between them..." Warring States hesitated a little, but still said: "According to Stussy... CP0's report, Kui Long has more than one woman in China."
Karp commented: "What a scumbag."
"An ambitious hero like Kui Long will not show mercy because of an old relationship."
Finally, Sengoku made a decision: "I will ask Drake what he thinks first. If Drake is not willing, I will go to Tina."
…
"Marshal Warring States." Drake immediately answered the call from Marshal Warring States.
"Drake, is there anyone else near you?" Seng Guo's first sentence was to ask about the situation near Drake.
Derek heard the meaning of Sengoku's words and quickly avoided the crowd and walked into an empty utility room.
"Marshal Warring States, I am alone now."
"Okay." Warring States' tone was full of solemnity: "Drake, listen to me first."
"Now the Dawn Pirates occupy the North Sea, and pirate activities are rampant in various sea areas. The navy currently does not have the force to deal with the Dawn Pirates."
Sengoku began to talk about the current situation. At the end, Sengoku finally brought up the topic: "Drake, I hope you join the Dawn Pirates and act as an undercover agent."
"I know that this task has a high chance for you..."
Sengoku didn't say it clearly, but Drake understood what Sengoku meant. The probability of dying in this mission was extremely high.
"I came to tell you today because I want to know your specific thoughts."
"..." Drake did not answer immediately. A short period of silence lengthened the gap in the conversation. Sengoku waited patiently for Drake's reply.
"I'll go." Derek's voice was slow and firm.
Warring States secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little guilty in his heart for letting this young sailor complete such a difficult and dangerous task. The voice and appearance of the last sailor who followed his orders and infiltrated the pirate group were still vivid in his mind...
"Drake, are you sure? The danger of this mission is not..." Sengoku gave Derek a chance to make another choice, because he didn't give Rosinandi a chance to choose at all last time.
"Marshal Sengoku, I am willing to join the Dawn Pirates for the Navy." Drake repeated.
"Really..." Warring States raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said seriously: "Then listen carefully -"
"Before this, the World Government and the Navy Headquarters had sent undercover agents to the Dawn Pirates dozens of times, but without exception, they were all discovered by the Dawn Pirates."
"So this time, we chose a different approach."
Sengoku explained the steps of rebellion in detail, and Drake on the other end of the phone listened carefully. Early the next morning, a piece of news hit the headlines of the newspaper - "Rear Admiral X. Drake betrayed the Navy!" 》
When Eric saw the newspaper, he was immediately stunned and said with a smile: "Could this guy's target be me?"
…
While the navy was discussing undercover candidates, other forces in the new world were not calm either.
In Cake City, the news that Eric successfully occupied Beihai made Charlotte Lingling feel uneasy. She took out the note with the number written on it that she had kept for a long time and started to make a call.
"Who is it?" After waiting for a moment, Wang Zhi's rough voice sounded from the phone bug's mouth.
Charlotte Lingling said: "It's me."
"Oh! Who am I..." Wang Zhi's voice was full of sarcasm: "Isn't this our dessert queen and reverse harem queen - Lingling!"
Charlotte Lingling said directly: "Wang Zhi, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Have you seen the news in the newspaper?"
"Oh -" Wang Zhi said in a long tone, "You are talking about - Beihai fell into the hands of that boy, right?"
"That's right!" Charlotte Lingling's voice was full of anger.
"What? That boy took Beihai, does that make you worried?"
"Aren't you worried!?" Charlotte Lingling asked back, her voice increased a bit: "Kui Long already owns 20% of the entire world! The power gap between him and us will become wider and wider!"
"At least, I will die behind you." Wang Zhi still looked at the fun.
"you--!"
"After all, he has the biggest hatred against you. He can't leave you alone and provoke me first, right?" Wang Zhi continued: "Besides, the distance between him and your territory is closer than the distance between me and him."
"Huh..." The furious queen exhaled, raised her huge, lipstick-covered mouth, and said, "But if I'm going to die, his next target will definitely be you!"
"..." Wang Zhi's voice suddenly broke off. After a second or two, Wang Zhi's voice came back: "So what, as long as I live longer than you..."
"Okay!" Charlotte Lingling interrupted rudely: "Kaido, who has been roaming the sea for decades, has died in Eric's hands. We, the remnants of the Rocks Pirates, must unite! "
Seeing Charlotte Lingling's solemn tone, Wang Zhi stopped watching the fun and asked, "Then?"
"Let's form a pirate alliance!" Charlotte Lingling first suggested, and Wang Zhi's previous attitude was that he was waiting for Charlotte Lingling to raise the topic and raise the price.
"Oh?" Wang Zhi said calmly: "Why don't you go to Whitebeard? He is stronger than me, right?"
"Oh, he has no such ambitions and is not interested in ONEPIECE. You know this very well, right?" Charlotte Lingling sneered and continued: "What's more, Whitebeard got pure gold, which is just the right time to follow Those little brats can play pretending to be a little bit longer."
"..." Wang Zhi was noncommittal. None of the pirates on the same ship could understand what Whitebeard was thinking.
"You said we should form an alliance, wouldn't it make me lose face?" Wang Zhi hopes to share more in the distribution of interests, and even dominate the pirate alliance.
"Hmph!" Charlotte Lingling snorted coldly. She knew Wang Zhi's greed very well, and once he allowed him to take advantage of it...
But now, she had to give up some benefits.
"Do you want to get ONEPIECE?"
"Hmph, don't ask such stupid questions." Wang Zhi sneered at this.
Charlotte Lingling continued: "I have a piece of historical text in my hand. You should know it, right?"
"Yeah." Many people know about this. Pirate King Gol D. Roger also secretly took a rubbing from Charlotte Lingling before finding Rafdel.
"If you want to reach Rafdel and find ONEPIECE, you must collect four historical texts. I am willing to share this historical text with you."
"Is this true!?" Wang Zhi suddenly couldn't sit still.
"Mama, mama...of course." Charlotte Lingling immediately became happy when she heard Wang Zhi's unsettled voice.
Wang Zhi immediately calmed down, and how powerful the Dawn Pirates must be if Charlotte Lingling is willing to take out the historical text.
He was a little undecided again.
"Wang Zhi, are you afraid of that brat?" Charlotte Lingling deliberately used words to provoke him.
"Lingling, put away your uninspiring words." Wang Zhi said coldly. Being able to occupy Honeycomb Island, the original stronghold of the Rocks Pirates when the Rocks Pirates fell apart, shows that Wang Zhi himself has foresight. He also has enough means that one or two taunts cannot irritate him at all.
Wang Zhi, who was always flirting with Charlotte Lingling, had no choice but to ask directly: "Then what do you want to do before you are willing to ally with me?"
"I heard that you have kidnapped many children recently."
"...!" Charlotte Lingling's expression immediately turned sinister and she remained silent.
Wang Zhi continued on the phone: "What the hell are you doing?"
Charlotte Lingling immediately said: "This is none of your business!"
"Lingling, this shouldn't be the case." Wang Zhi chuckled and said, "Don't you like children very much? You actually use them as mice for experiments..."
"You——!" Charlotte Lingling's eyes widened angrily and she asked angrily: "Where did you hear that!?"
There are countless sea slugs on the bottom of the ocean for reconnaissance. Only by using the Piaopiao Fruit to fly from above, or the Menmen Fruit for space transfer, can they invade the interior of the Nation without being noticed!
"Hahaha..." Wang Zhi laughed strangely and said casually: "You have been searching for various races all over the world. You don't think I don't know, do you?"
"..." Charlotte Lingling gritted her teeth and did not reply.
"Three years ago, in order to show your goodwill to the giants of Elbaf, you married your daughter to the giant prince Loki. As a result, your daughter escaped from the marriage on the eve of the wedding..."
Every time Wang Zhi said a word, Charlotte Lingling's teeth used a little more strength, and her huge teeth clenched loudly.
"You deliberately snatched the scientist Caesar Brown from the Navy because you wanted to conduct experiments on human enlargement!"
No one who can sit in this position is an idiot, let alone an old friend who has known him for more than ten years.
"Punk Hassad sold some failed works of the ancient giants. Is it called the Barbarian Overlord? Let Kaido buy it. The Dawn Pirates made a lot of efforts in resisting the naval attack in the North Sea."
Wang Zhi finished speaking and waited for Charlotte Lingling's reaction.
Charlotte Lingling asked in a cold tone: "Wang Zhi, what do you want?"
"The human body enlargement experiment also made me..."
"Absolutely impossible!" Charlotte Lingling immediately dismissed it.
"Is this really good?" Wang Zhi chuckled, seeming to have figured out BigMom's weakness: "In one or two years, you won't be able to develop a drug that can enlarge the human body, right?"
"So what!"
"Judging from the strength of the Dawn Pirates' attack this time, your Big Mom Pirates are no match for the Dawn Pirates."
"The reason you asked me to be your ally is because you want me to help you resist the attack of the Dawn Pirates!"
"When you get through the most difficult period and successfully develop a drug to enlarge the human body, you can use your newly acquired huge power to kick me away and enjoy ONEPIECE all to yourself!"
Charlotte Lingling did think so, but she didn't expect that her persistent delusions and small actions could not be hidden from Wang Zhi, who was once a "companion".
"Huh -" Charlotte Lingling breathed a long sigh of relief and said slowly: "If I die, you won't live long. You don't think that Kui Long will just let you go, right?"
"Or are you willing to give up your rights, step down as emperor, and watch Kui Long become the next 'Pirate King'? No!"
"To be precise, the 'King of the World'!"
"..." Wang Zhi's breathing became a little heavier, women, territory, treasure, reputation! Of course he would not give up these things.
"Okay, okay!" Wang Zhi's voice was full of helplessness, and he said: "I will take a step back. I will provide half of the funds for the human body gigantization experiment, and I will send a few more technicians there. Of course, they will accept you at all times. surveillance.”
"After successfully developing a drug for human enlargement, I will receive half of the finished product."
"After defeating Kui Long and obtaining ONEPIECE, we can then use the giant power in our hands to overthrow the World Government and the Navy Headquarters. This world - we are half of it."
"What do you think, Lingling?"
"...Okay." Charlotte Lingling gritted her teeth and agreed.
"I will notify Morgans now and ask him to write the alliance news!"
"No problem." Wang Zhi knew that Charlotte Lingling was declaring their alliance and asked Eric to consider it before taking action. The territories of Wang Zhi and Charlotte Lingling happen to be located on both sides of the Kingdom of China. They belong to distant relations and close attacks. If one side is attacked, the other side can sneak attack the rear of the Kingdom of China.
"I'll send someone over in a few days, bringing R&D funds with me." Wang Zhi said and hung up the phone.
"...Damn bastard!" Charlotte Lingling was extremely angry and roared angrily, making Homitz tremble nearby. But facing the rising Dawn Pirates, she must find an ally to share the pressure brought by the Dawn Pirates.
The next day, another shocking news spread throughout the world.
Some people died, but not completely...
