After opening the door and walking in, Porusalino saw Sakaski sitting on the sofa in the living room, and couldn't help but ask doubtfully:

"Is it because your old friend Major General Jonathan didn't treat him well? Or did you postpone the inspection?"

Sakaski did not answer Porusalino's question immediately, but took a deep breath of "Seven Stars", exhaled the smoke through his lungs, and asked:

"I should ask you this question. Is the mission of Polusalino Marigioa's escort to the Draco gathering over in one day? And since it's over, why didn't you go back to your villa in the Shampoo Islands?

"

"Because of Colonel Malvern, brother Sakaski,"

Porusalino shrugged and said bluntly, "I have nothing to hide, and I don't feel comfortable... Although his teaching skills are not very good, and he has been a sailor for so many years, and he has not even mastered the power of seeing, hearing, color, and domineering, but I

I personally approve of him, he is a good sailor and a good officer."

"……you're right."

Sakaski nodded slightly, and then activated the ability of Rock Berry - with the sound of burning flames, the cigarette butt in his hand was immediately burned to ashes.

"But a sailor like him didn't die of illness or fighting pirates. Instead, he defected from the navy after fighting with those shady CP0s... To be honest, Porusalino, I'm very sad

angry."

"If you weren't angry, you wouldn't be Sakaski,"

Porusalino smiled, "However, if Colonel Malvern could hear that a cold-faced guy like you was willing to say such things for him, maybe he would be happy and moved, and his domineering energy would suddenly awaken after seeing and hearing this.

…”

"Whether he awakens his domineering power or not has nothing to do with me."

Sakaski said coldly, "I only care about one question, and you should have the answer to this question Porusalino... Why would CP0, who represents the world government, take action against him? They should not have any communication or conflict.

Isn't it? Moreover, he is also the highest officer of the Navy in Beihai, directly responsible to Marshal Warring States..."

"I do know the answer to this question..."

Porusalino walked over and sat on his own single sofa, while continuing to speak, "He gave a Devil Fruit to a child, and this Devil Fruit was...

The ultimate devil fruit that the World Government attaches great importance to, and the government had previously specially assigned him the task of secretly searching for this fruit... Therefore, in the eyes of those CP0s, his behavior was tantamount to betraying the World Government.

"

"A devil fruit... a powerful natural type? Or an ancient animal type? Or a fantasy beast type?"

Sakaski frowned.

"No, it's the ultimate devil fruit in the true sense. It's called the surgery fruit and it belongs to the superhuman family."

Porusalino explained, "A person who obtains this devil fruit can cure all diseases in the world, and can even achieve the miracle of giving another person eternal life at the cost of the person's life."

…”

"The fruit of surgery that can lead to eternal life?"

Sakaski couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Yes, so you know how many big shots are coveting this fruit, right?"

Porusalino said with a sarcastic smile, "They even offered a guaranteed price of 10 billion Baileys on the black market, just to know the whereabouts of this fruit... Not to mention Colonel Malvern, who did this

Even if the person responsible for this is you and me, General Zefa, or even Marshal of the Warring States Period, the top officials of the government will ruthlessly eliminate them."

"...But why would Colonel Malvern give such a Devil Fruit to a child? He clearly knows the importance of this Devil Fruit...Is there anything special about that child? Is it so worthy of him?

Do?"

Sakaski frowned and asked two more questions.

"That child, you may not believe it, but according to the information I know, he and Colonel Malvern have only known each other for the past six months. As for the specialness of his identity...well, Sakaski,

Do you know there is a North Sea kingdom called Freifans?"

Porusalino asked.

"White town? Of course I know this country. After all, even if you look at the whole world, this country is among the richest."

"That's right, and the reason why this country is so wealthy is because a kind of lead ore called amber lead was discovered in the strata of this country. This amber lead ore can not only be used to produce beautiful tableware, exquisite paints

, sweet seasonings, high-quality cosmetics, and can even be used to make high-performance 'weapons'... High-quality amber lead products have many buyers around the world, so the 'amber lead industry' is also

It has become the largest industry in the Kingdom of Freifans."

Porusalino spoke eloquently.

"…Does the amber lead mine, which makes the Kingdom of Frevans rich, have anything to do with that child?"

Sakaski frowned.

"It's a big deal - in fact, this child is from the Kingdom of Freifans. To be more precise, he is the last survivor of this kingdom."

"The last survivor of the kingdom?"

Sakaski couldn't help but widen his eyes, "You mean..."

"Ah, the Kingdom of Frevans has actually been destroyed, just like O'Hara. It's just that O'Hara still has some civilians left, while the Kingdom of Frevans only has the man who is related to Colonel Malvern.

Children of relationships.”

"...Is it a world government?"

"Although it is not directly done by the government, it is similar in nature,"

Porusalino shrugged, "The profits of lead are so high that even the World Government is involved. But in fact, 100 years before the rise of the lead industry, the World Government had already visited that country to do business.

Through geological surveys, the investigators had already discovered the truth about Perlite."

"...The truth about platinum lead?"

Sakarski instinctively felt something was wrong, "What is that?"

"The mining of lead ore will accumulate lead, a heavy metal, in the human body. At first, the amount was very small, so the residents of the Kingdom of Freifans did not feel anything strange. But as the time of lead mining increased,

As time goes by, the number becomes larger and larger, and generations of residents of the Kingdom of Freifans

More and more lead is accumulated in the body... This kind of lead disease cannot be cured by any medical means, and the fatality rate is 100%. In the end, almost everyone in the country suffered from this disease, and their skin and hair were damaged.

It became whiter and whiter, and died with great pain."

"The world government discovered the aphrodisiac very early, but for the sake of the astonishing wealth, the top officials of the government and the royal family of the Kingdom of Frevans worked together to hide the truth. Not only that, they also hid the truth from the people in the kingdom.

The civilians launched an extermination campaign, and a small number of civilians who did not die from the disease eventually died in the hands of the royal family... And the child who was related to Colonel Malvern should also be suffering from the disease.

, if nothing happens, he will die within a few years."

"Is that why Colonel Malvern gave the results of the operation to the child?"

Sakaski added, "Because that surgical fruit has the power to cure all diseases..."

"That's right."

Porusalino nodded and affirmed.

"To make such a decision, even to leave the Navy, for the sake of a child you have only known for a short time...it is really stupid, Colonel Malvern..."

"But it's because of his stupidity that you and I, Sakaski, are talking about him at this time in this house that once belonged to him, isn't it? I definitely can't do this to him

It’s because I care about myself the most, and I don’t have his kindness, but it doesn’t affect me at all that Colonel Malvern is a guy worthy of admiration.”

Porusalino said calmly.

"Um."

"Okay, the time for nostalgia is over, I'm leaving first."

"where did you go?"

"Go home. After all, tomorrow is my birthday. By the way, don't forget my gift, brother Sakaski."

"...you're lying,"

Sakaski suddenly said, "You are going to avenge Colonel Malvern, right?"

Porusalino, who had walked to the door, heard Sakaski's judgment and couldn't help but stop, turned his head and raised his eyebrows:

"I don't quite understand what you're saying, Sakaski... The CP0 who fought against Colonel Malvern didn't kill him, so why should I avenge him? Also, even if he had no choice but to do it because of that CP0

I defected from the Navy. As a Vice Admiral, I will not take action against that CP0. I don’t want to end up like Colonel Malvern... After all, I am still young and I still hope to get a salary from the government and then retire.

I won’t get my pension again~”

Sakaski ignored Porusalino's last two wisecracks, and just stared at Porusalino with a firm tone:

"What you said is correct. I really don't have any evidence, but I just know that you want to avenge Colonel Malvern."

"..."

Porusalino did not speak, but looked at each other for a while with Sakaski, and then shrugged helplessly:

"I didn't expect that your hegemonic power of knowledge can already see through what others are thinking? Sakaski, and I shouldn't have shown anything strange, right?"

Facing Porusalino's answer, which was tantamount to acquiescence, Sakaski raised the corner of his mouth slightly:

"You really didn't show anything strange, and my knowledge and domineering power can't see through people's hearts. But I know you very well, Porusalino, and you will never remain indifferent after knowing what happened to Colonel Malvern.
