In order to prevent the Whitebeard Pirates, currently the most powerful group in the New World, from taking into account the World Government's next move, which is the Navy's upcoming "Frozen Throne" plan on Fish-Man Island, some intelligence personnel have infiltrated here.

A small island that continuously provides funds to the Whitebeard Pirates - they will perform secret missions here to provide assistance to the Navy's front-line training operations.

Don Quixote Rossindi, who has been in the navy for some time and was awarded a Devil Fruit for his excellence and loyalty, is one of the intelligence agents who has infiltrated this island - more accurately.

That said, he is also the leader of the action team.

"Come, drink, drink, drink!"

Disguised as an ordinary pirate, Rocinante poured wine into the cup of the young gangster next to him, whose face was completely red from drinking.

"I'm sorry to ask you to treat me... So, what was it you were asking about just now?"

"It's about the boss in charge of this town! You know, small fish and shrimps like us, every time we go to a new place, we must understand the local situation, otherwise if something happens, our lives will be in danger.

It’s gone!”

Rosinandy chatted with the gangster he met on the busy street, intending to get some information from the gangster. This gangster was a character he carefully selected. He had just come out of the casino and seemed to be in a bad mood. He invited him to drink.

It's easy to get into a conversation with just a few glasses of wine.

"The boss of the island is Mr. Oliver who runs the casino! Although after the death of the previous generation, the young master of their family has inherited the family business now!"

"Brother, you have already said this just now, but then again, what kind of people were the previous generation like?"

"Oh, the previous generation...well, the old-school pirates who are neither good nor bad. I heard that I have some fate with the big pirate Whitebeard, so I can use his flag. In Porto Zibaralta

It will be good after this place becomes prosperous... Now this is not allowed, and now that is not allowed, there are a lot of rules! Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and curse!"

"Hahaha, I understand this, but there's nothing I can do about it. After all, all the islands with the Whitebeard flag have restrictions on things like drugs, slaves, etc..."

Although saying that pirates are good people goes against the position of the Navy, Rocinante, who was influenced by Porusalino, does not simply judge a person based on his position. He pays more attention to what the person does.

, which is what Porusalino often said: "One's heart is not as good as one's deeds."

As far as the identity of a simple pirate is concerned, Rosinandi believes that a person like Whitebeard who does not like racial bullying and slavery itself can be considered a "good" pirate.

"There are always people coming and going on this Puerto Baralta Island. Even if you leave it alone, money will flow here! The casino also holds fighting competitions, concerts and other activities... and even if

The operating income of a small bar like this is actually quite considerable! However, in exchange for the protection of the Whitebeard Flag, the previous generation banned all slave trade in this town..."

The drunken gangster kept complaining - in the previous exchange, Rosinandi learned that he seemed to have been famous as an intermediary for human traffickers for a while, but now he could only make do with it.

The island of Puerto Zibalalta is based on the tourism, entertainment and gambling industries centered on the port, and then derived various industries such as catering, accommodation, shipbuilding, commerce, etc., but no matter where

All industries are controlled by the Oliver family, or have involvement from the Oliver family.

A considerable part of the income will be handed over to the Whitebeard Pirates in exchange for the protection of their flag, which is enough to scare away most pirates in the New World.

In this regard, the World Government and the Navy had almost completely ignored it before - to be precise, they could not interfere.

Of course, naval warships performing missions in the new world sometimes stop by the port. In this case, as long as they give each other some benefits and give each other a little face, they can live in peace.

But, that was when the navy did not have enough strength and confidence. Although it had top combat capabilities, there were basically no people in the younger generation who could hold up the scene. And now the navy has gone through the previous world recruitment and the new generation of generals.

Their training and strength have greatly increased compared to before, so naturally they are no longer willing to take stability as the first goal as before...

For example, this small island that continuously provides funds for the Whitebeard Pirates and can be called a treasury but does not have Whitebeard's sons stationed there is a very suitable target for operations in the eyes of the Navy and the World Government...

"This town is a great place where wealth continues to accumulate! So after inheriting the family business, Mr. Oliver began to reform... Well, it actually meant deregulation and returning to the previous state!"

"That's what I want to know!"

Rosinandi carefully checked the surroundings, then showed a meaningful smile, and quietly took out a photo - the gangster held his breath after seeing the photo.

"Brother, isn't this a mermaid...?!"

The photo is of a mermaid girl, and there is a fresh scale.

"Hehe, this girl is a beauty who is considered a celebrity on Mermaid Island!"

"Real or false..."

The little gangster suddenly became nervous and quickly lowered his voice, "Do you really have it, mermaid girl?!"

There is excitement that cannot be concealed in words.

Slaves that can be circulated through formal channels are all criminals such as pirates or residents of countries that are not members of the World Government. After all, the World Government needs to formulate some unfair rules to promote the benefits of joining them and maintain its own rule.

According to different races, genders, etc., the price of slaves also varies. A girl from the mermaid tribe is worth at least tens of millions of beli. If it can be transported to the Holy Land Mariejoia for auction, it will be written on her face.

The people of Tianlong who are "foolish and rich in money" will not hesitate to spend a lot of money.

"I was worried that I couldn't find a way to take action. At that time, I happened to hear rumors about this town... But actually, I also admire Whitebeard's benevolence. On the one hand, I wanted to take action, but on the other hand, I felt that this was not good.

…”

"What nonsense! Whitebeard is just a bastard pirate!"

The little gangster looked very disdainful.

"oh?"

"What's the difference between him and the evil people in this town like us? He steals from others, robs from others, kills others... He kills people all the way. The person who stands at the top of all the evil parties, on the other hand, cannot buy or sell slaves - speaking of

No matter how amazing it is, it is not convincing at all! After all, we don’t all live by robbing other people’s things! Pirates want other people’s lives! Human traffickers are people who take other people’s things away... Look, they’re all the same!

He is just a little more powerful!"

A young gangster could have such insights and eloquence, which really impressed Rosinandi. And it must be said that the main points of this young gangster were somewhat consistent with what Rosinandi heard in General Zefa's class.

"Oh oh oh! Listening to your words, brother, is better than me working hard at sea for ten years!"

Rocinante pretended to be extremely admired - not to mention, there was a reason why he was chosen as an undercover agent by the Warring States Marshal in the original plot, not just because of his Devil Fruit ability. Just looking at his acting skills,

Not to mention the little gangster in front of me, even the senior officials of the World Government who are good at playing tricks have no problem at all.

"That's not true! I think back then, brother, I was also a famous man on the sea! It's a pity that bad luck later..."

The little bastard felt extremely comfortable being flattered by Rosinandi, and he could talk nonsense.

Rosinandi struck while the railroad was hot: "So brother, what I mean is that if, ha, if my mermaid...well, escapes without my knowledge and is sold without authorization, there is nothing I can do about it.

Right? It doesn’t count as violating the rules of Whitebeard, a great pirate, right?”

"Oh! You kid!"

The little gangster's eyes suddenly lit up, "Well, there's really no way to do that. I can only say that I'm very unlucky..."

"Brother, this is what we are talking about. Five or five points is good. I want to get rid of it quickly!"

Rocinante deliberately looked anxious.

"Thirty-seven open."

"No, brother, you are too greedy! I even bought you a drink!"

"It's not that I'm unjust, my friend, it's actually very risky!"

"Forget it...when you see the spot, your eyes will pop out!"

Rosinandi stuffed the photos and scales into the little gangster's arms.

The photo was actually taken by the Navy at the Mermaid Cafe on Fish-Man Island. As for the scale... Dr. Vegapunk is always good at creating interesting things.

Of course, using the mermaid as a guise is not purely from the perspective of the slave market, but fully considers the public opinion preparation before the "Frozen Throne" plan - the navy does not go to the mermaid simply to suppress the pirates.

Island, but to protect the safety of the residents of Fish-Man Island!

"Hey! Is it that exaggerated... Hey, you guys are so eager to take action. Could it be that the mermaid has been played by you in advance? If that is the case, the value will be greatly reduced!"

The little gangster showed a smile that every man knows, "Well, forget it, I can't help it, and Mr. Oliver is the one who sets the final price anyway, so it's not our turn to worry..."

"Brother, when can we meet...with that Mr. Oliver?"

"Tonight is a big thank you day... Mr. Oliver is a very busy man when business is at its peak every year. But since it is a mermaid business, the situation is different, and I have my own personal involvement... Just wait, brother, I

Come and arrange it for you!”

The gangster talked about how he wanted Rosinandi to thank him, so he went out to discuss it with his boss.

Rosinandi looked at the leaving gangster, smiled, drank the wine in the glass in front of him, turned around and left the bar.

In an alley with not many people, Rosinandi lowered his head slightly, as if he was walking with his head down.

No one could notice that he was whispering to the miniature phone bug under his collar after activating the Silence Fruit ability:

"Robin, this is Rosinandi, go report to Lieutenant General Sakaski and say that everything is ready!"

"Good! Your news is very timely, Rosinandi! If it were any later, Lieutenant General Sakaski could not help but launch an attack directly..."

"There is no way, if Mr. Porusalino is not next to Lieutenant General Sakaski, no one can control his temper..."

…

late at night.

In the square some distance away from the central street of Portozzibalalta, a huge tent was set up.

It was the tent of a circus that came to the island for a tour. Although it was a popular tourist spot for people traveling with their families during the day, it had already closed at this time and there was no one around.

Click——

Along with such a sound, a figure pulling a cart suddenly appeared on the street at night.
