[One Piece] Inferior Star

Matthew didn't know why they all ran over and hugged him at this time, but now they finally moved to a place where they could talk.This is a temporarily rented hotel room, which is fairly spacious. It would be even better if You Xiang could let go of her arms.But it doesn't matter to her.

"Then let's get down to business. Everyone." Matthew said calmly while dealing with Youxiang who looked like a kitten, "First of all, reasonable cooperation should start with sharing information. We were on the small island before Since Mr. Ace and Mr. Sabo blew up the enemy and information together, they didn’t get anything of much value...Miss Arika, did you find anything at the Navy Headquarters?”

"Let me tell." Cabbage didn't seem to be thinking at all now... Rossi said, "We found a document, although Penderga's name was written on it, and the report I wrote before was still preserved, but All important information has been erased. So we went to the former Admiral Sengoku again..."

"The chief of the Warring States Period was my 'before' chief... so I got some care. He was not willing to tell us the details. Judging from his attitude, the influence of the Emerald Isle is still very great. And Pendergar must have We have the information we want."

"In the end, he was only willing to tell us that Penderga, which has been converted into a naval fortress, is now called GH-0," Rossi said.

"Fortress GH-0..." Slightly familiar...Sabo said, "The rebel army seems to have investigated this fortress too, right? Kerla?"

"Well. About ten years ago, the fortress GH-0 was located in a place where the navy's patrol routes were not covered." Kerla replied, "but suddenly one day, the navy's routes began to cover a large area, and the fortress was also covered. Reconstruction. Other than that, I didn’t find any special news from it, and I didn’t expect that such a thing would happen to it before..."

If it's on the navy's route...it should be able to determine its location with satellites, so it can go there.But... Matthew said:

"Nearly 3000 people committing mass suicide is quite amazing." I can't imagine anything that can make so many human beings agree. It's hard for two people to agree. "I don't believe everyone It's all voluntary. Semi-forced or massacred is more likely. But that was 18 years ago, and no news has come out. I suspect that the navy has investigated the truth, but this truth, like The 100-year history that is said to have disappeared is so ordinary that it cannot be told."

"The 100-year history that disappeared, about this..." Sabo remembered another thing, "Matthew, have you investigated Yilen these days?"

"Huh? It's surprising. Do you remember Yi Leng?"

"I've never forgotten it. Even during the period when I forgot everything, I still remembered the word Yilen. So I found something by accident..." Sabo said, looking at Matthew and hugging him You Xiang's arm is like a kitten, "I've been thinking, if we can understand You Xiang's life experience, then maybe we can understand the truth about those 'curses'."

"So I have been trying to find more information about Yilen since I was a child... It's just that I lost my memory and stayed in the rebel army for a long time before I finally found useful clues. That time, we got a Rubbings of the historical text and mutilated notes of the O'Hara scholars. There are a few words about Yilen in it."

"And then I found this."

Saying that, Sabo took out a cylindrical thing like a sword handle, he put it on the table and said: "I followed the clues to a remote island, and there is a strange cone on it. The building. The scholar hiding in the building is dead, but left this thing. He said that this is some kind of 'weapon' he made based on the part about Yilen in the historical text, just because the very important Part of it, so it may never be done."

arms?Matthew scanned the thing.The structure inside is not very delicate, it is polished and made by hand.Moreover, this shell is not complete, and it is too lacking in stability as a weapon: "This is the structure of Hailoushi."

"Ah, that's right. This part is made of sea floor stone. It seems that the scholar couldn't find another material that can perfectly combine with sea floor stone, so he finally gave up and died in depression." Sabo said and looked at it again. Leaving Youxiang, "Youxiang, this should belong to you, so I'll give it to you...?"

As soon as she said this, Youxiang stretched out a hand (claw) and pushed the hilt back.

"Don't you?" Sabo was a little surprised.

You Xiang shook her head.She hugged Matthew's arm, hid her head behind, and said in a very low voice: "If you take it, will Sabo leave?"

"That, I..."

"No. I don't want..." Youxiang completely hid behind Matthew, and then stopped talking.

Alright Sabo, hurry up and do something for me.My heart hurts, my heart (youxiang's heart) hurts! !Ace immediately cast a glance at Sabo, and then gestured: Hurry up, give me, coax!

I'm trying to figure it out! !

Sabo also gestured back: You are, help, me!

"Okay, then I will continue to save it for you." Sabo took the hilt back, and then he said, "Youxiang, I won't leave now, okay? Listen to me..."

"No. If Sabo wants to reason with me, I won't..."

"…………"what to do!No reason is allowed!Sabo once again cast his eyes on Ace for help, and Ace said helplessly: "Then let him go to the naval fortress with us. Is that okay? Sabo?"

"Ah... I'm actually a little interested there too. The matter about the Emerald Isle really needs to be investigated, so... let me go together!" Although rounding it up is considered unauthorized... But now there is no way to say 'I Gotta go' kind of words.Sabo said, "Okay? Is it fragrant? Don't be like this~ talk to me~"

"Sabo is an idiot."

"Well. Good! Then you agree!" Sabo breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "Let's act together with you for the time being. Kerla, I'm going to stay here first."

"Hey...Although I know I can't persuade you, but..." Kerla said, "Don't forget the work you have to do?"

"I understand. But about the weapon, Mr. Kagawa from Jade's broker should be able to give us pretty good information. With that, it doesn't matter if I take the time to pet the kitten at home, right? ?" Sabo reached out to touch Youxiang's head, but was immediately scratched by the 'kitten', and he withdrew his hand, "In short, let's make this decision."

"...that weapon." Youxiang suddenly said, "I can help you. Sabo. In the world of dreams, you should be able to find clues."

"Dream world?"

"Well. I'm also an emerald agent, and I do it this way." There are various human-made traces left in the dream world.So whatever could be mapped there, and probably never go away.Youxiang said, "But Sabo wants to exchange with me...you have to promise me one thing."

"I don't want it either." Sabo replied firmly.

"Hey?" Why, you idiot!Youxiang made a surprised sound.

"I don't want you to get close to those things anymore. The world of dreams, or those demon curses. No way." Sabo showed a serious expression, and he said, "Although the things about Ace are considered to be their help ——No. It should be said that they just forced you to pay the price in order to get what they want. Because Youxiang is Youxiang, it is obvious what kind of decision they will make, so they just used you and achieved it The purpose is nothing more. I will not change my attitude towards them."

"Sabo..."

"I still remember the way you were in pain because of those things. And now, I still only see the way you are in pain because of those things. I don't like this, Yuxiang. I..." What I like is with a smiling face I love you, and until now, I haven't seen a little smile from you.This must be wrong, it is not right.

Sabo said, "So don't. No need to do that, leave the weapon or whatever!"

"But..." Youxiang said a little angrily, "But doesn't it seem that I am self-willed!"

"Then be self-willed! It doesn't matter if you are self-willed! I will bear it all! Just believe that I will continue to rely on my self-willedness!"

Yo Sabo... I want you to coax, not to confess! !What are you saying in front of so many people!Ace complained in his heart, but felt that it would be better not to interrupt them now.And he didn't interrupt, but there were people who wanted to interrupt.The door of the room that was originally closed was opened by someone, and an unexpected person walked in on his own, as if he had come to his own home——

"In that case, everyone."

Kagawa wore a delicate formal suit and walked in with a snake-shaped cane in his hand. He looked at everyone who was surprised with a smile and said, "I have a plan. Do you want to hear it?"

——"Why did you suddenly appear here!!"

Matthew couldn't help but jumped up and said loudly: "And why are you acting like you've been eavesdropping just now!! Impossible! The sound insulation in this room is not that bad! The windows and doors are closed, and there is no one nearby. Any biological signal! How on earth did you do it!!"

"It's a business secret." Kagawa was still smiling. He didn't care that Matthew walked in and found a place to sit down. "Don't look at me so fiercely. We are already in a cooperative state now. Let’s treat it as a partner.”

"Ace? This is?" Sabo stood up vigilantly. He blocked Youxiang behind him and said, "Could it be that Mr. Kagawa? No, should I call you Mansfield?"

"It's just a meaningless nickname. You can do whatever you want. Mr. Chief of the General Staff." Mr. Kagawa gestured slightly, and he said, "I just heard it. Regardless of the overall wishes of the rebel army, you are willing to assist Youxiang Miss?"

"I just want to help Youxiang. I don't want to count you in."

"Oh, that's not acceptable. After all, Ms. Yuxiang is an important employee. If you want to resign now, I don't allow it." Kagawa spread his hands, and he said, "Why are you so nervous, Mr. Chief of Staff. Let's talk It’s a matter of planning. I can provide the information and resources needed by the rebels, and not only that, I can also donate part of the funds, what do you think?”

"Ah?" How familiar is this person... Sabo raised his eyebrows, and he said, "Then tell me, what exactly is this part of your funds—"

"10 billion."

"What?"

"One billion Baileys. Pay in one lump sum." Still smiling, Kagawa said, "Although I know that all of you in the Rebel Army are insightful people who are acting for righteousness, there is no money in this world." It is also difficult to do. You need my jade agent for the same reason... The era of Whitebeard has fallen, the power of pirates has changed, the navy is in turmoil, and the world is in chaos... However, Mr. Qian is still the best to use at any time You can't deny that, can you?"

Damn... Although I feel super upset, I can't refute him with a single word! !The activities of the Rebel Army do need money, and the donations from business partners and the activities of the Rebel Army partners are very limited. This is also a major factor that limits the sphere of influence of the Rebel Army.Now Marshal Sakaski has tightened his grip on this aspect, and Qian's aspect is indeed...

10 billion Baileys... How could this guy offer such a price without changing his face?The wealth of the rich will always exceed the imagination of ordinary people.

"Okay... okay." Put aside the 10 billion Berries for now.Sabo calmed down a bit, and he said, "Then you will always have an exchange, right? What do you want to buy with this 10 billion Baileys, Mr. Mansfield?"

"you."

"what?"

"I want to buy you, Mr. Chief of the General Staff."

"what?"

Completely toyed with applause.While Matthew was thinking about whether to help Sabo, Youxiang had already left behind him, went to hug Sabo, stared at Kagawa and said, "Don't bully him, boss."

"Your eyes are so indifferent, I feel very heartbroken." Kagawa's smile was slightly retracted, and he said, "Then I will change the statement. I want to buy your action. Mr. Chief of Staff. Of course, this The things in it will definitely not be contrary to the original intention of the rebels, but I just hope that before you investigate all the truth, you must believe the information provided by me."

"You mean, do you expect me to do what you said next?" This became a little more reasonable, and Sabo said while pulling Yuka behind him again, "Then I will also be in the Decide after hearing your 'plan' and 'information'."

"Of course, I'm not an unreasonable partner." Kagawa smiled again. I don't know whether his smile is a professional fake smile or ulterior motives. Anyway, it must not be sincere. There are three plans—”

"First, go to the Navy's ghost fortress GH-0. With the help of Lieutenant General Rossindi, I can finally learn the real name of this fortress. I think that there are stories about Emerald Island and 'Ilen' here." Important information."

"Second, go to the island of Punk Hazard in the New World - I will give you pointers. There... I think there is a way to solve Mr. Ace's problem once and for all."

"Third, go to Dressrosa. Hart, an excellent employee, was murdered. Although there are still many employees, if you don't pay attention to it, some people will think that every employee here wants to be killed. Manager Emerald loses face. This is not a good thing for the partner rebels, right? What's more, I believe that the key to the 'weapon' you have been investigating for a while is Dressrosa. So there's no harm in going there."

There is so much information that I don't know where to start asking... Sabo paused for a while, and then said, "Let me ask you a question first..."

"Please."

"Why do you know about Yi Leng?"

"It's a commercial secret."

"Ah?? Then what do you mean by solving Ace's problem once and for all?"

"Mr. Ace is still alive, right?" Kagawa smiled at Ace, who was definitely not friendly. He said, "But because people in the whole world think he is dead, the navy just stood still. But this There's actually a loophole in the matter - if Mister Ace is truly dead, why hasn't his devil fruit reappeared until now?"

"Huh?" This question... never thought about it!Matthew suddenly realized, by the way, there is a huge bug here!Because the devil fruit is completely out of his 'handling range', so he accidentally ignored its characteristics.There is only one of each devil fruit at a time.When the bearer of this fruit dies, the same fruit will appear again.

Therefore, if the same fruit appeared, it would be strong evidence that the holder was dead.And if Shao Shaoguo can't find a second one no matter what, no matter how unwilling the world government is to admit it, people will have to start thinking about the second possibility.Then it might become troublesome...

"Devil fruits appear naturally, and so far even scholars have not been able to figure out its principle." Matthew took over the conversation, and he said, "The place you mentioned is called Punk Hazard, how to solve this problem?"

"I don't know the specific operation...Although I might be able to do it if I go there myself..." Kagawa said leisurely while playing with his cane, "But I won't go to such a dangerous place. Therefore Just to inform you of the information. The outstanding staff have reported that there is a secret laboratory of the genius scientist Vegapunk in that place. You understand here, right?"

Probably, maybe, should?I don't know if the method I thought of and the method you thought of are the same method... but if it works then... Matthew didn't speak, but gave a standard villain smile: "Very interesting. I agree."

"——Don't agree on behalf of all of us!" Sabo retorted immediately, "It's very strange anyway! How did this person know so much information... No, wait a minute. Could it be because of Jade Broker... ?”

"It's a commercial secret." Xiangchuan tilted his head and smiled slightly, "But, the rebel army should also want to see that their partners have strong business capabilities. Then... 10 billion Bailey is ready. President Mr. Chief of Staff. What are you going to do?"

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

The author has something to say:

Matthew: Yousonofb***h, I'min.

Sabo: (Secretly assess whether you are really only worth 10 billion, such insignificant things)

Youxiang: (Koala embraces a tree) I want to eat ice cream.

Today is also a double update!Chirp!
