Six Paths of Pirates

Chapter 181
After reporting their thoughts to Nagato, Otonashi and Kalifa left the palace.

Kalifa's reasoning is indeed quite valuable, at least it gives Nagato someone to suspect, so that Nagato will not be without thoughts, so Nagato also ordered the two to do something to CP-0 and Vegapunk after they went down. targeted investigations.

However, after all, those are the two departments that Kalifa knew nothing about as CP-9 before. Even if there are reasons such as being restricted by the system and having no motivation, it can still prove how impregnable the two places are. , it must not be easy for Otonashi and Kalifa to make contributions.

Under such conditions, Nagato will naturally not lay down the line of Otonashi and Kalifa and leave it alone, and even under normal circumstances, it is necessary to make multiple preparations.

So Nagato took out a ring with a simple shape.

This small object seems simple, but no third person in this world can see it, because it is Nagato's secret tool specially used to contact the navy's internal line.

Thousands of miles away, a large ship was sailing on the turbulent sea. The large ship was majestic and majestic. It was the warship of a senior navy general.

However, its hull is not perfect. Instead, it has many damages, black marks, and a war-torn appearance. One can't help but speculate that the owner of the warship is probably a militant.

That's exactly what happened.

The leader of this warship is none other than Virgo, the alternate general who has been in the limelight recently.

From the base chief of the G5 branch, to the lieutenant general of the headquarters, and then to the alternate of the admiral, he completed these several jumps in just a few months.

In the eyes of outsiders, Virgo just got lucky suddenly.

Successively captured several supernovas whose names are bigger than their real ones, and gained the capital to be promoted to the headquarters.

Then the admiral of the navy changed his post. His iron-blooded and hard-line style undoubtedly suits Akainu's taste, and he immediately won the favor of the big leaders.

This is not over yet, he accidentally obtained the spoils of the Devil Fruit when he was hunting down the pirates. His ordinary ability is nothing to a high-ranking general, but it just so happened that what he captured was the remnants of the One Piece who had just been executed by the navy. The ability to burn fruit, which added an important bargaining chip on his way to promotion.

This series of events made people envious, and at the same time made many people regard Virgo as a role model. After all, if it wasn't for his extremely active expedition to kill thieves, where would these rewards come from?

In the eyes of the uninformed, everything makes sense. Everything that Virgo has obtained now is the result of hard work, and there is no shortage of such passionate people in the navy. The world government also needs such a positive case. So Virgo quickly became a celebrity in the navy.

However, the truth is that two behind-the-scenes forces coincided to push him to this position, one from Dressrosa and the other from the World Government.

Of course, Virgo himself knew the reason for Nei Li. King Dressrosa and the five old stars, he was just the result of their game, but unfortunately, he had already judged the latter as a loser in his heart. It was because the five old stars actually had very little support during the process, and it was because he was originally from the former.

At this time, he also received a rare signal from his true object of obedience again.

"Keep vigilant." As usual, he gave words of encouragement when passing by his soldiers, Virgo simply patted his shoulders to cheer them up, and then slowly walked back to his exclusive cabin.

After cutting off the eyes and ears of others, Virgo took out the ring that was never shown from his bosom. At this time, the mysterious characters engraved on the ring were already glowing, and Virgo immediately pressed his finger on it according to the instructions he had received earlier. to receive the other party's signal.

A trance that has been experienced several times but is still quite surprised struck.

Yes, it is not the first time that Virgo has used this completely different contact method from the phone bug, otherwise, even if the other party intends to transfer it, he would not be able to receive the burning fruit found in the underground world.

After a brief absence, what Virgo saw and heard changed completely.

He was originally in the cabin of the warship, and suddenly he was in the palace, surrounded by scenes that could not be seen on the ship or at sea.

This is of course not that he can teleport thousands of miles miraculously. In fact, what stands in the palace is not his entity but a vague phantom, but through this he can completely transmit consciousness and receive information.

And this palace is not elsewhere, it is where Nagato is, and the person sitting in front of him is also Nagato himself.

"Your Majesty!" Sombra quickly raised his right hand to his forehead, obviously Virgo saluted immediately.

Nagato gave a hum in response, and then said, "Has the Shao Shao fruit been mastered smoothly?"

"It should be regarded as a normal progress, and the various moves have been developed almost." Virgo replied, "Sakaski took the time to remind me of further skills and abilities. At present, I have almost reached the element he mentioned. The degree of transformation, but there is still a gap to achieve the instantaneous change like the breathing instinct."

Nagato nodded, this speed is indeed not bad, as for the real proficiency and even awakening, neither Virgo nor he had any hope.

Therefore, Nagato has no dissatisfaction, but just reminded: "Don't be shy in front of me, just call the marshal directly, so as to avoid unnecessary flaws in your latent work."

"Yes!" Virgo replied.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Virgo, who knew that Nagato would come to him for nothing, saw that the leader hadn't spoken yet, and immediately asked, "I don't know what new orders your majesty has? Recently, my work in the navy has been going smoothly. , maybe it can come in handy.”

Probably because he has been an undercover agent for a long time, Virgo's ability to read people's words and listen to people's words is not bad, but it is quite different from his external image and style.These words were both respectful and not overly flattering, and at the same time, they really paved the way for Nagato's request.

Although Nagato was not lighthearted by the flattery of the alternate admiral, he was indeed satisfied with Virgo's work attitude, and he replied: "There is indeed something I want to tell you."

At that moment, Nagato explained the ins and outs to Virgo just like he told Otonashi and Kalifa.

"...So according to the current clues, Vegapunk and CP-0 are the key suspects. I need you to find a way to get in touch with these two departments."

"I understand, I will seriously investigate them." Virgo responded quickly after knowing the situation.

However, even though Virgo in front of him was only a black shadow, Nagato could still see hesitation from his posture and movements.

But soon, Virgo expressed his thoughts: "Your Majesty, there is some news that I want to report to you. It may be helpful to this matter."

I just heard him say: "Actually, I was not only promoted to a general candidate some time ago, but I also heard vaguely recently that the general position that has been vacant since Marshal Akainu's promotion will be appointed as a successor in the near future. It is said that the upper management intends to maintain the setting that the three generals are all natural-type abilities, so as to ensure deterrence around the world."

"You mean, although the government has announced that you, the candidates, will compete for the top position, in fact there are still tendencies, and you have the greatest chance among them?"

"I know this is the case, but I'm not entirely sure, so I hesitated to tell you just now." Virgo first answered, and then added, "But I think this news should still be quite reliable , because its source is General Aokiji!"

"Kuzan?" Hearing this, Nagato couldn't help being a little surprised, so he asked, "What's going on specifically? Let's hear it."

Virgo immediately replied: "The matter is actually very simple. Two days ago, when I went back to the headquarters, I met General Aokiji. He stopped me for a private conversation, and told me that Wu Laoxing had this intention. Leak the news to me in advance so that I can perform well recently."

After the words were finished, the hall entered a brief silence.

The behavior described by Virgo seems to be inconsistent with Aokiji's behavior, but it is not difficult to understand except for the accident at first glance-Aokiji usually seems to be loose, but in reality he is not a simple and innocent guy.It is not surprising that this kind of thing actually happened to get inside information and then disclose it to future colleagues at the same level as a free show of favor.

So Nagato quickly ended his thinking, judged that the information had a high validity, and said, "That is indeed a good thing, especially now."

He gave instructions to Virgo: "Promote to general as soon as possible. After you succeed, you will definitely unlock a lot of permissions. It is very likely that the answer to the question is in it. After all, Aokiji, who is also a general, is an insider."

The gaze of Samsara Eye is also more powerful at this moment: "If you have any needs, please report to me, and Dressrosa will fully support you."

"Yes!" Virgo responded loudly, and then took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing I didn't tell you. In fact, General Aokiji not only ventilated me, but also gave me some advice on the development of abilities. This should be It can better prove the authenticity of the news. More importantly, I think I can also use this opportunity to make friends with him, and then inquire about something, maybe even find out the situation without waiting for the matter of the general to be finalized."

"Very well, let's do it!"
