The addition of the two children did not cause any disturbances. For the Don Quixote family, the most important thing right now is to punish the duplicitous colleagues in the town [La Caesio], and to evacuate the opponent's small coffers by the way. .

Five cadres are expected to be dispatched for this operation, and by the way, two children, Luo and Baby666, who are most useful in shouting 5 at the side, will be brought along to give them experience.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Yu Gongcui ate the ice cream handed over by Baby5. Seeing her excitedly announce the good news, she didn't know whether to congratulate the two who were about to go to war. He patted Luo on the shoulder, and nodded to the black-haired little loli Baby5 who was happy with his hands behind his back.

"Be careful all the way, remember to hide behind the cadres."

Luo gave a muffled hum, but Baby5's reaction was a bit wrong, shyly covering her pink cheeks.

"Damn it, I hate it. I secretly inquired about her name before, and now I care so much about her. Really~ Is there something I need to do? Right, right?!"

Luo clicked and bit the cone in his hand, and sneered at her appearance.

"Rami, don't worry, this guy is just this kind of weirdo. As long as he feels needed, he will agree to any request. Before I stabbed Corazon and was seen by these two little devils, I borrowed money from her to buy her." Buffalo."

This has gone beyond the scope of easy talk, it is some kind of mental illness.

Even though she knew the weakness of Baby5, Amamiya Cui's conscience ached when she saw the big eyes of the pikapika radiating little stars, and felt that it was difficult to make excessive demands on this cute loli dressed as a maid, so she could only helplessly smiled.

"Then I hope that Baby5 will take good care of herself during this operation and not get hurt. If you have spare energy, please take care of me, thank you."

The little girl wearing a bowknot happily murmured "ah, I'm needed", then patted her chest to promise that she would complete the task, and brought Luo back with all her tail.

Watching Baby5 bouncing away from her and Luo's room humming a song, Yu Gongcui, who was in a complicated mood, swallowed a mouthful of ice cream, and gave instructions to her heartless brother.

"How much did you borrow from her?—Forget it, don't bully others in the future."

Luo argued a few words with low confidence, "This is not bullying, Buffalo usually let her do this and that, okay?" Then under Yu Gongcui's eyes pretending to be crying, his voice became smaller and smaller, Eventually it turned into a dry "Got it".

Yu Gongcui finished the remaining ice cream in two or three bites with satisfaction, took the time to wash up under Luo's urging voice, and listened to the latter's nagging instructions, eight out of ten sentences were for him Stay away from Corazon.

Knowing that this was a manifestation of anxiety when they were about to part, Yu Gongcui agreed one by one, and rubbed Luo's head who had taken off the white velvet cap before going to bed.

It's a little tricky, like a stubborn little hedgehog.

"I will stay away from him, and I will never take the initiative to talk to him, so you should feel relieved, right?"

Seeing the awkward child get out of his grasp with a flushed face, shouting about the order of his siblings, Yu Gongcui raised his hands in surrender, climbed onto the bed, and slipped into the bed with a squeak, expressing that he would Going to sleep, we will discuss related matters later.

"Compared to me staying at the stronghold, you are the one who should be more careful. Don't rush forward in a moment of enthusiasm, you know? Compared with your plan, at least remember... There are still people waiting for you to come back here."

The lights went out and the room was silent.

After a long time, Yu Gongcui, who half-closed her eyes in the dark, heard an inaudible, low "hmm" sound behind her.

-----------------------------------

When he woke up the next day, Luo beside him had disappeared.

Yu Gongcui, who had been used to it for a long time, sat up and was dazed for a while, then slowly climbed out of the bed and opened the tightly closed curtains.

The sunlight pouring in was so bright that he squinted his misty eyes, realizing that it might already be noon.

After a simple wash, he left the room. On the way, he didn't meet the little maid Baby5 who was supposed to be working hard.

Yu Gongcui was a little surprised, not sure if the cadres who attacked Lakaixiu had already taken her and Luo away, but for a while, there was no one to ask.

There is only one Buffalo left among his peers, and he is not nearby at this time.

He walked slowly along the corridor. In the hall on the first floor, Diamanti, who was in charge of explaining to Luo, and Torrebol, who had a sticky voice, were sitting at the table, playing a board game.

Corazon was still dressed in his usual white shirt and black feather coat. He was lying on the side sofa with an open book on his face. He should be catching up on sleep.

The concentration of the annoying guy was too high, Yu Gongcui walked past the door of the room without stopping.

The two who were obsessed with playing chess glanced at him and quickly retracted without showing any interest.On the contrary, Corazon, who was lying on the sofa, was slightly shocked when he heard the footsteps, sat up, and the book on his face fell on his legs with a clatter.

Yu Gongcui hurriedly quickened her pace and trotted up the stairs leading to the second floor.

Captain Doflamingo's chambers are located on this floor.It was here before that the man had invited the two who had been captured from the port to join the family.

All the doors and windows of several rooms were closed, Yu Gongcui walked around the corridor, and when she found no one was there, she prepared to go downstairs to see if Buffalo had gone to play elsewhere.

He didn't mean to disturb the captain hastily at first, but when he returned from the end of the corridor and passed a locked door next to the stairs for the second time, the door made an abrupt creaking sound and opened to the inside voluntarily.

A man in a black shirt and red tie sits in an armchair with his signature pink feather coat hanging on a coat rack beside him.

The red willow leaf-shaped sunglasses looked towards this side, and although he didn't say a word, he made an inviting gesture for the little guest to come in.

Yu Gongcui hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.

The door shuts loudly behind him automatically without wind.He couldn't help but look back, temporarily suppressing his doubts, and politely greeted the man in front of him who was sizing him up.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Captain."

The layout of the room was simple, and the most striking thing was the huge bookcase behind Doflamingo, which took up an entire wall, densely packed with all kinds of books and documents.Other than that, there is only a desk (on which there is a large snail with tentacles hanging down, Amamiya Tsui couldn't help but look twice), and the armchair the other party was sitting on, and even Couldn't even find a second chair.

Obviously, Doflamingo doesn't usually receive guests here.

There was a book on the desk, and Yugong Cui could barely see it after getting closer. There was a huge "Baizhen" printed on the spine and cover of the book.

Perhaps it was the arrival of him and Luo that reminded the man of the book in the corner, and he turned it out for a closer look.

If it is borrowed, will this person agree?Shall I speak up and try?

"If you want to ask Luo's whereabouts, he has already headed for Lakaixiu with the cadres."

The man with unruly short blond hair noticed the child's gaze, but he didn't care, he just explained it in a leisurely manner.

Scrutinizing the other person's expression carefully, he asked immediately after finding a little understanding; "Are you going to tell me the truth about what happened yesterday?"

Do you mean the eavesdropping on personnel information... that's not a big deal.

Just as Yugong Cui was about to answer, the words turned around again, turning into an honest question.

"Do you know about the devil fruit that can cure platinum lead disease?"

The red lens flashed, and Doflamingo's voice was slightly raised, not sure whether he was feeling impatient or amused.

"Oh? Are you going to make a deal with me—but it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"The superhuman 'surgery fruit' I like is called the 'ultimate devil fruit' by many people. The ability it can give is just like its name, and it can cut and splice the human body at will. It is famous all over the world. A dream come true for doctors."

"If Luo can find this fruit and eat it, it will be a piece of cake to remove the platinum lead attached to the internal organs. However, you came to ask me specifically at this time, do you plan to eat it secretly before him? ?"

The man's tone contained obvious playfulness, but even so, Yugong Cui still couldn't help but frowned, and her voice became cold.

"'If you can meet a suitable devil fruit, you can be cured, so don't fall into despair', you once promised Luo that way. So please don't make such bad jokes again, it will only damage the reputation of the captain."

Doflamingo, who was pushed back, was not only not angry, but pinched his chin and hummed in a low voice.

"Ha, so that's the case... I said it before, I take back what I just said."

[Friendly reminder to the host, the target's trust value has increased by five points!The current trust value is: 15 points! 】

Yu Gongcui was slightly taken aback, and then remembered that this guy and the cadre Corazon were also brothers, probably because of a sense of substitution.

It is a very cost-effective deal to exchange my little secret for the information of the devil fruit, and it also comes with five points of trust.

Procrastinating any longer would only increase the boredom, so Amamiya Cui no longer concealed it, and simply told the man about the wiretapping with the pipes laid in the house.

"Well, what a smart kid."

Doflamingo was lying back on the armchair, holding the book that had been turned upside down on the table before, flipping through it carelessly, "Those who are capable will be valued here, it has nothing to do with age, you Understand?"

Ah, this is what the test means.

Newcomers are required to prove their abilities, see what kind of nomination certificate they can submit, and rely on the scores of this test paper to determine their future status.

He was all too familiar with this set.So Yu Gongcui nodded earnestly, expressing "I understand", and at the same time confidently asked the captain for the corresponding resources.

"Because of my illness, I have been out of touch with the world for too long, and I don't know all the current information."

"You can come here to read a book, and I will order an additional newspaper for you. As for family affairs, you can go and find out about everything except confidentiality. You just need to tell Diamanti that it is my order."

And Doflamingo was as generous as ever, and he didn't forget to add at the end, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Here, is there anything else?"

Yu Gongcui tilted her head and thought for a while, but still tried to throw out the biggest question in her heart.

"The so-called 'One Piece'—do you know anything about this title?"

--------------------------------------

The name of the world itself, even if it is not the main theme of the wave of the times, must involve something very important.

However, Doflamingo didn't answer him directly, but kicked him out after a weird laugh, and claimed that "this kind of idiot question is not to be answered", and then he was confused. Yu Gongcui slammed the door shut in front of her eyes.

So, is this something everyone knows?

He hurried downstairs, not caring about the disgust in his heart, and went to the lobby on the first floor to ask Diamanti for information about previous years.Knowing that this was Dover's order, although the cadre in red was a little surprised, he put down his chess pieces and stood up, leading Yu Gongcui to a musty basement.

"It's all here." He threw the key over, patted his buttocks and left, obviously still remembering the unfinished chess game, "You take it first, remember to lock the door after finishing."

……

For Amamiya Cui, who is very familiar with text processing, it does not consume brainpower to browse through the old files without analyzing them. It only takes a glance to remember them, and it only takes a few minutes to flip through a book.

When night fell, he left the room that was about to grow mushrooms, locked the door meticulously, and took the key to find Diamanti.

The hall on the first floor was empty, but the restaurant was lit with warm lights.

Yu Gongcui temporarily put other matters behind her and silently joined the cooking army.After eating and drinking, Diamanti wiped his mouth, but didn't immediately ask him to take back the key, obviously he didn't care about those old papers.

On the contrary, Doflamingo in the main seat looked over with a teasing expression on his face.

"Why, do you have any questions?"

Yu Gongcui thought for a while with her fork in her mouth, then slowly shook her head.

"It's just that there are a lot of unexpected things."

"for example?"

"For example, the world government and the royal families of various countries. I thought that, like Frevans, the royal families who immediately abandoned the people after they were squeezed dry were a minority, and the world government would be the ones who ruled them—but the reality exceeds all absurd imaginations. , to be even more shameless and terrifying."

No one spoke during the dinner, only the crisp sound of knives and forks hitting the porcelain plate.

After a while, Yu Gongcui, who came back to his senses from the bloody stories recorded on the pile of old papers, put down his fork, raised his face and asked the silent captain.

"Dover, do you want to be the One Piece?"

Buffalo on the side sprayed out the soup, and Corazon, who was opposite with a dark face, was drenched all over.The senior cadre Diamanti was very pleasantly surprised, and laughed out loud with satisfaction. If he hadn't remembered Luo's exhortation about "my sister will break when touched" in time, maybe I would have slapped Yu Gongcui twice. Shoulder, praise a good boy with a future.

"Of course, Dover is a man who is destined to be king!!!"

Torrebol, who was dressed like a walrus, also nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement with this conclusion: "That's right, when is Dover planning to become king, and when is it?"

"The time is far from here."

The weird low laugh that had sounded since hearing the question slowly stopped, and Doflamingo comforted Walrus, and finally answered Yu Gongcui's question head-on.

"The one you mentioned is the ultimate dream of all the guys who choose to go to sea, and I am no exception."

"But it's been years since Gol D. Roger passed away, the 'Great Secret Treasure' is still missing, the Navy will never allow a new One Piece to be born, and the most powerful peers are busy killing each other—we Its strength is undoubtedly the first echelon in Beihai, but after entering the new world, it feels a little insufficient."

"In the case of insufficient strength, if you speak out your dream that is too big, you will be ridiculed."

Glancing at Buffalo who was covering his mouth beside him, Yu Gongcui nodded in understanding, and then added a sentence naturally.

"I understand. But if that's the case, I also think Dover can become the One Piece."

The man opposite raised his eyebrows, obviously questioning whether the words were sincere.

After all, he is just a kid who just joined yesterday, how much does he know about family affairs?The reason for saying this is most likely just to please him and the cadres.

But for Yu Gongcui, being selected by the system as the target of the strategy itself represents a kind of qualification——

Qualifications to be a "leader".

Since he is a pirate by profession and just admitted that he does have such a dream, it is understandable for him to make such an inference.

Rather, in Amamiya Tsui's view, this is something that will definitely happen, just as naturally as Osamu Dazai leading the port Mafia and Shinsuke Takasugi becoming the governor of the ghost army.

They will definitely go to their destined position, as a companion, he is already used to it.

——As for the second young master who is not a man, of course he was kicked out of this theory.

After all, vampires are not worthy of talking about human rights, and Amamiya Cui doesn't bother to care why he doesn't play cards according to common sense. For Dior, this seems to be a routine operation.

Now that he has become a member of the Don Quixote family, Doflamingo's dream will not hurt him.

On the contrary, the greater the power of the family and the wider and deeper its tentacles spread in the black market, it may be possible to find the trace of the fruit of the operation as soon as possible and help Luo get rid of that twisted goal earlier.

Aware of Dover's distrust, Amamiya Tsui, who wiped her lips with a napkin, stared at the plate, silently lost in thought.

It seems that this nomination certificate requires a little more thought.

------------------------------------

The next day, Yu Gongcui got up as early as possible, and went to a nearby town with Buffalo who was bought by snacks.

The country to which the port city [Speeda Melz] belongs is called the "Kingdom of Mombato". It is a neighboring country located in the southeast of Baizhen. On the other hand, they are quite inconspicuous.

Except for the lack of skyscrapers and neon signs of modern cities, the town is generally similar to European resorts. The buildings are quite fairy-tale style, with rounded edges and corners, making them small and elegant.

Pedestrians walking on the bluestone streets look wealthy and stable, and there are no displaced beggars on street corners or in parks.

At first glance, it seems to be a warm and livable city that cannot be faulted.

But the fact is that a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the swings in the park, obviously no one has come here for a long time to play.The passers-by were in a hurry, most of them were holding a huge amount of food in their arms, enough to last for a long time, and those who were empty-handed were all full of anxiety and hesitation.

Buffalo, who only had snacks in his eyes, went straight to the ice cream shop. There was nothing in front of the door, and the proprietress also had a sad look on her face.Under Yu Gongcui's questioning, she, who was not wary of the two children, let out a long sigh and easily revealed the truth.

"Didn't the adults at home tell you? There are a group of very dangerous guys running around the town recently!"

Amamiya Cui, who was wearing a black cloak and covered her whole body tightly, licked the ice cream and asked vaguely, "Is it a pirate?"

"That's not true, but it's worse."

The proprietress looked left and right to make sure that there was no one around, so she let out a long sigh and expressed her worries to the two young guests.

"I heard that they are the survivors of 'White Town', a group of desperadoes who broke through the border blockade, are running around the territory with weapons in their hands, wantonly robbing property, and several nearby towns have suffered disaster! Alas, just the robbery is ruined Nothing, but the thought of the deadly virus that this group of people are carrying - oh my god, it's almost unbearable!"

Buffalo let out an "uh", took a mouthful of ice cream, and looked at Yu Gongcui with puffy cheeks.

He didn't bother to pay attention to this silly boy, and still ate his share with his head down.After the proprietress finished complaining, she asked questions like a really ignorant child.

"It's so dangerous, will these robbers kill people?"

"Murder? I've never heard of that. Rumors usually use guns to coerce citizens to hand over their property. If you kill people, you will get nothing. But if you are infected with that kind of disease, let me say, it's better to be on the spot." die!"

Yugong Cui echoed a few words, and led Buffalo back.

The latter had been brewing for a long time, and tentatively said: "Well, why don't you go find them?"

"Who are you looking for, those robbers pretending to be patients with platinum and lead disease?"

"Hey, is it a fake?!"

Buffalo's surprised expression made Yu Gongcui a little speechless, but he couldn't expect the child to think too deeply, so he explained a few words hastily.

"Once the attack occurs, you will die soon. Who is in the mood to rob property, and you can't spend it. If you really came from the border and wanted to revenge the world with hatred like Luo, that would be a normal reaction, right? .”

However, it is worth investigating which group of people and what motives, in the name of the survivors of Baizhen, took advantage of the fear of the people to plunder.

He is suffering from nowhere to start. Facing a blank test paper with no title, he doesn't know how to turn it into a dazzling nomination certificate, so he can only try his best to collect information in the streets and alleys.

Do you want to go down this line, or—?

Unexpectedly, a neat little card was stuffed in his hand, and the old man on the opposite side cried "My daughter, has anyone seen my daughter?" Everyone lowered their heads and avoided.

Yu Gongcui lowered her eyes to look closely, and the purple-haired beauty who was as gentle as lavender on it smiled at him, which made people's eyes shine.

Buffalo threw away the photo casually, prprpr licked the ice cream, and expressed Yu Gongcui's inner thoughts in an old-fashioned way.

"It must have been kidnapped by human traffickers, and there is basically no hope. Look at those passers-by, who are so familiar, they must have known this for a long time."

When he said this, doubts suddenly emerged.

Yu Gongcui stopped and asked the nonchalant Buffalo, "Are there a lot of kidnappings around here?"

The latter scratched his head, with an undisguised naive look, with a little distress on his face: "Oh, how do I know this? I just come here occasionally to buy ice cream!"

The cries of the old woman behind them suddenly became sharper, and the two turned their heads to see that a team of city defense troops in uniform were dragging away the struggling old man, and two people were separated to collect the scattered nearby. The photos were obviously prepared and then burned together.

Taking advantage of not being noticed, Yu Gongcui put the photo in her arms calmly, and the answer to the previous question has emerged.

The kidnapping case, which is so many that the city defense army already has specific measures to deal with it (for the families of the missing persons), and the pessimistic attitude of the passers-by obviously vaguely lead to the truth behind this fog.

If you visit the reference room of the city defense department tonight, you will definitely gain something, right?

--------------------------------------

Yu Gongcui bought an alarm clock and went home. Just in case, she borrowed Diamanti's gun before going to bed.

In the middle of the night, he got up from the bed regularly, put on a cloak and a face scarf, and followed the map in his mind to find the city defense post in the town.

The doorman who was supposed to be on guard was not there, it seemed that the bar across the street was on a half-price sale, which eased the difficulty of sneaking in a lot, and Yu Gongcui breathed a sigh of relief.

He sneaked to the back door of the yard under the cover of night, and the wire he picked up from the garbage dump finally came in handy, and within half a minute he clicked open the lock.

Closing the door as it was, Amamiya Cui expressed contempt for this world without even surveillance cameras, then swaggered into the reference room, fixed the candle she carried with her on the ground, and quickly collected the evidence she wanted.

Many files related to irrelevant cases were found, but none related to missing persons.Yu Gongcui was not discouraged, but became more and more sure of a certain conjecture in her heart, picked up a candle and touched the director's room upstairs.

After knocking, he dragged a small safe from under a hollow floor.

It's a bit difficult... Although I have studied with Osamu Dazai for two days, his lockpicking ability is far behind the latter, and it is still a bit difficult to deal with safes.

But it’s already been touched, how can I put it back as it is?

Yu Gongcui put the box flat on the table, put one ear on it, and worked diligently with the two wires in her hands—finally, when the sky was slightly pale, the spring of the iron box issued a "click" With a sound, it flicked away unwillingly.

He didn't care to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, and quickly pulled all the gold bars and banknotes aside, and finally found the thin folder at the bottom.

One after another, they were all files of pretty women.

It seems to be arranged in order of disappearance. The bottom one is already a little yellowed, and there are a few in the middle that are marked with big red crosses, clearly marked with "children of the nobles!" or "third uncle's youngest daughter" .

As for the purple-haired woman in the photo seen during the day, the file is on the upper level, and like most of the files in this folder, there is no mark on it.

Yu Gongcui took a serious look at the picture of "Children of the Noble!" It was a blond girl with a proud expression and holding a parasol. Her name and address were marked in detail below the photo.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and it was not safe to stay any longer.Yu Gongcui did not choose to take this document away, but after pulling out a wad of banknotes, she stuffed the safe back into the hidden compartment under the floor as it was, and then quickly left the city defense post.

The addresses of the women included in the file are all located in this city, and the girl's residence is also not far away.But being limited by physical strength, Amamiya Tsui, who had begun to feel tired, felt that it was not suitable to visit today.

Sitting on a bench by the side of the road and resting for a while, Yu Gongcui, who has a lot of money and wealth, thinks that he should hire someone else to do this kind of time-consuming work. He just waits at the stronghold to receive information-do everything by himself It is too difficult for him who is sick, and a more efficient method must be adopted.

But the problem is that he has realized that there is no mobile phone in this world, and even landlines do not exist.

So how do you usually contact each other, is Feige sending letters?

Amamiya Cui suddenly recalled that it was a seagull carrying a messenger bag that delivered newspapers to Diamanti in the past two mornings, and suddenly lost her expression... What should I do, should I go buy a bird now?

At this time, an ordinary office worker with a briefcase in his hand passed by, nodding and bowing to the little snail in his palm with a weary expression.

"I'm sorry boss, I may be a little late, Quanzi is not very obedient recently, I must take some time to teach him...Okay, um, okay...I understand, I won't delay work..."

And Yu Gongcui's gaze moved accordingly, and her eyes staring at the little snail became brighter.

—he remembered, there was one of these on Dover's desk too!

---------------------------------

It was easy to find a shop that sold the otherworldly version of the mobile phone - Phone Bug. Yu Gongcui, who was not short of money, bought two and planned to give one to Luo later.

He carefully wrote down the number of his own, went to the underground tavern recorded in the previous information to release the mission, and pulled the hood again before entering the door to make sure to hide his appearance.

It may be because the shape of the gun is deliberately highlighted under the clothes, but there is no one who makes trouble.After accepting the deposit, the bartender pinned the paper with task requirements and contact information on the bulletin board beside him, stating that he would be contacted after someone accepted it.

[Go to the manor in the southern suburbs to confirm Miss Rose's living conditions and whereabouts today, the reward is [-] Baileys, see the contact information below]

When the director of the City Defense Office found out that the safe had been tampered with, this task had long been submerged in the corner of the black market. No matter what, it was impossible to track down Yu Gongcui, who only left a phone bug number.

It's all here, he released the second task after a short thought.

[Confirm the whereabouts of the "robbers of Baizhen", including the place and time they appeared before. Depending on the level of detail, the rewards range from 20 to [-] Baileys. See below for contact information]

After handing over the wet paper to the bartender, Yu Gongcui gave a special warning.

"These two missions can be accepted three times. I will check the answers of these three people to confirm that they are not talking nonsense. —— Regarding this, please also tell the person who accepts the mission."

The bartender nodded silently after accepting the tip secretly, Yu Gongcui pulled the corner of the hood down again, and then left the tavern.

He returned to the family's stronghold and returned the gun to Diamanti. Just as he was tired and fell down on his small bed to catch up on sleep, he heard the little snail in his arms making a strange "boo boo boo" cry .

Taking this guy out and placing it beside the bed, Yu Gongcui and the little snail stared at each other silently with wide open eyes.

...This is a call, how should he answer it? ? ?
