Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

"So? Carrying out the investigation mission has nothing to do with your coming to Happy Street, right?"

Stusi's face was as cold as frost, and she didn't give Darren any good face at all, and said coldly.

Although she was taken advantage of, she still held on and maintained her dignity as the queen of Happy Street.

"This incident is of great importance. No clues and intelligence can be missed... After all, I'm just a part-time worker."

Darren raised his hands helplessly and made a gesture of surrender.

"Since the government and the military issued an order for a thorough investigation, the hunting of candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea has completely stopped. It seems that the murderer should have noticed something and decided to stay out of the limelight for the time being."

"Of course, another possibility is not ruled out."

"That is, the people on the list have basically been hunted down by him, and the murderer is likely to be looking for new targets now... If there are new targets."

He said here, looking at Stusi with a meaningful look.

"The Five Elders... don't they have another list of candidates?"

Hearing this, Stussy paused while smoking, and her pupils shrank slightly.

This guy... actually guessed it!

Her heart was immediately stirred up.

What kind of monster is he, who can even infer such a top-secret thing!

No, he predicted the actions and reactions of the Five Elders!

"It seems that there is indeed a new list..."

Although Stussy tried her best to stay calm, Darren could not detect her strangeness and smiled with satisfaction.

"In that case, I'm relieved."

He put out his cigar, stood up from the leather sofa, and was about to leave.

It was enough to confirm the existence of the new list.

As for Stussy, Darren felt that she should not have known the list this time.

It was not because of anything else. The first list of candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea was leaked from her. With the cunningness of the old guys in the Five Elder Stars, it is impossible for them to continue to hand over the new list to the same group of people.

They will definitely select a new group of CP0 members to carry out the selection task of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Wait!"

Just as Darren was about to leave, Stussy's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"What's wrong?"

Darren turned around and looked at her in confusion.

Stussy looked at the Vice Admiral in front of him, and his expression changed.

"I understand."

Darren "suddenly realized", then walked towards Stussy and began to take off his military uniform.

"What are you doing!?"

Stussy was stunned at first, and then said angrily.

"You called me, don't you want something?" Darren said with a strange look.

Stussy: "..."

She glared at him unhappily, then pulled out a top-secret document from the safe and casually placed it on the table.

"This is the government's new list."

She deliberately avoided Darren's gaze, with a faint gleam in the depths of her eyes.

"Aren't you going to carry out the investigation mission?"

Stussy said in a tone of pretending to be relaxed:

"The Five Elders told me to cooperate with you, so this new list... I think you also have the right to know."

"After all, if there is a new list, maybe it can speed up the progress of the investigation? At least some targeted measures can be taken."

However, what she didn't expect was that Darren didn't show any surprise when looking at the list on the table. Instead, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth... looking at herself.

"What are you laughing at?"

Stussy frowned and asked dissatisfiedly.

She didn't like Darren looking at her with this look, always feeling that he was calculating and planning something.

"So what you mean is... this is the new list of candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Darren asked with a half-smile.

Stussy said, "Yes."

Darren blinked and asked again, "The Five Elders just... handed you such a top-secret new list?"

Stussy said impatiently, "Is there any problem with this?"

Darren suddenly laughed again.

This time, his smile was more sarcastic.

"Of course there is no problem, but I have a suggestion... I advise you not to have any thoughts on the candidates on the list. Of course, you have to pray that there will be no accidents on the candidates on the list, otherwise..."

"What if it's not?"

Stussy raised his eyebrows and said provocatively.

Darren grinned:

"Otherwise, you will die."

Stussy was stunned.A deep doubt emerged in her heart, but with Darren's teasing eyes, she gradually realized something, and the blood on her charming face quickly faded.

"Could it be..."

She murmured in disbelief.

Darren walked to Stussy's side and gently held her face with his hands.

"Yes, the Five Elders have begun to suspect you. Of course, this is more likely just a test."

"If I'm not mistaken, this new list... they only gave you one."

"That means... if the candidates on this list are hunted again, they can infer from this..."

Stussy's face was pale, his back leaned weakly against the back of the chair, and he said hoarsely:

"They know that the previous list was leaked by me..."

Darren patted Stussy's shoulder, bent down, and said softly:

"So you have to be careful, Queen, don't die easily."

He tilted his head.

"You are my favorite toy."

"I will be reluctant to part with you if you die."

Stussy was shocked.

She gritted her teeth and looked up:

"Impossible!"

"The Five Elders cannot possibly suspect me!"

"I have already blamed everything on the Lone Wolf, he is the most suspicious one!"

Darren laughed:

"How about we make another bet?"

Stussy's expression froze.

Another bet! ?

She was almost allergic to the word bet now.

But her unyielding temper still drove her to face the scalp and said:

"What do you want to bet!?"

Darren smiled evilly and took out a Den Den Mushi.

Stussy's face changed drastically, her eyes widened.

That was not an ordinary Den Den Mushi.

That was a... Video Den Den Mushi!

...

Three hours later.

New world, a deserted island.

Boom! !

In the distant mountains, a sharp sword energy slashed up into the sky, flattening a mountain in an instant.

The roar of the mountain collapse sounded continuously, raising dust all over the sky.

In the sky,

Stussy looked at the terrifying aura erupting from the mountains with a pale face, and a huge wave rose in her heart, not caring about the hand that Darren was holding around her waist.

The top powerhouse in the CP0 sequence!

She would never mistake this cold and numb aura!

In less than three seconds, a pirate they caught at random was easily torn to pieces by that guy.

And the target they were eyeing was clearly the CP0 hidden in the list of candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

In other words,

This is a trap! !

If I had been impulsive and angry with Darren before, and tried to take action against the candidates on the list... then this "surprise" hidden in the list would be for myself!

The Five Elders... really doubted themselves!

Damn it!

When he thought of this, Stussy was terrified.

"Don't be nervous, our secret will not be leaked, you are still safe."

Darren said gently in Stussy's ear.

He could feel that Stussy's hug around him subconsciously tightened a little, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This is a sign of a closer relationship.

I really didn't expect it...

The actions of those old men actually pushed Stussy in his direction.

This saved me a lot of effort.
