The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

"Rosie, is there anything you haven't said?"

After eating the barbecue, they returned to the captain's cabin of the Don Quixote. When Pica closed the door, Dover asked.

"Is it that obvious?"

Nod, X5

"All right,"

With a snap of his fingers, he added a layer of 'soundproofing' to the captain's cabin.Rossi himself was a person who spied on information, so he would naturally guard against being overheard.

"While I was tracking the lord of this country, I accidentally discovered that people from CP3 were also lurking in this city."

?

Everyone's face changed,

CP, your reputation in this world can stop a child from crying at night!

It's not a big deal if you offend the nobles or the navy. The worst thing you can do is go to sea and become a pirate. If you die under gunfire or lead bullets, you will be considered unlucky.

But if you offend CP, it will be much more terrifying. It is normal to have your head cut off in your sleep!

Bribery, kidnapping, poisoning, assassination, CP work, everything is possible.

"What's even more troublesome is that the people in CP3 are planning to have more than a dozen pirate groups unite to attack the city. The leader is the 'White Dragon' Balfu Tani."

? !

At this time, even Dover's face turned serious.

When they were having a barbecue before, Torrebol also talked a lot about the 'great achievements' of 'White Dragon' Balfour Tani.Now when I think about facing that ruthless and inhumanly strong pirate... no one will feel relaxed.

"I said, I said, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and run away——"

Torebol's first reaction was to run away, but Dover immediately stopped him with his hand.

"Why panic, Torebol."

"Rosie hasn't finished yet."

"Well, the opponent's strength is too strong. Whether it's a dozen pirate groups with thousands of combatants, or the personal strength of 'White Dragon' Balfu Tani, we can't compete."

Besides, Rossi and others were just businessmen passing by.

There is no obligation or reason to help this city resist pirates.

"So the best choice is of course to leave - but it would be too embarrassing if you are so scared that you don't even care about the goods and run away because of the other party's name."

"Secondly, we don't know the situation on the sea now: whether those pirate groups have gathered and where they have gathered... If they encounter each other on the sea, they really won't be able to escape."

The Don Quixote is just an armed merchant ship, with firepower, defense, and carrying capacity far exceeding those of ordinary pirate ships.But there is no advantage in terms of speed. If you choose to run by sea, it is better to choose to transfer from land.

"So, everyone will go separately tomorrow to gather information, and at the same time, let the workers seize the time to load the goods."

If it is safer on the sea, it is natural to leave the place of trouble and wrong as soon as possible.But if traces of the pirate alliance are found, they will be transferred directly from the land to other cities.

Even if pirates are rampant, the port city below them will suffer the most.

It’s impossible to uproot all the Five Nations Alliance——

"That's it, everyone be careful tomorrow."

----

the next day,

"I said, I said, I don't know what those masters are thinking."

An impatient Torepol pressed closer and closer to the government workers in Odense.

"Anyway, all the goods must be loaded within today. We will set off tomorrow, do you understand?!"

"Sir, this is too difficult..."

"That's why I pay you double your wages!"

It has to be said that Torrebol's negotiation skills are nothing to say.Whether they were government workers or dock workers, they were all busy under his command, and their efficiency increased by [-]% out of thin air.

Everyone else dispersed to gather information, while Rossi was going to visit the 'White Sands Orphanage'.

After quietly walking around, I discovered——

"It's really a sunny and harmonious orphanage..."

There is no human trafficking, no secret experiments, and there is not even any 'routine operation' such as loyalty and patriotism to the orphans. It is an orphanage dedicated to the healthy growth of children.

In the dean's office, he finally opened the safe and found that there was a large photo album inside.In the photo album, there are photos of 'Jorah' with a large number of boys and girls, which should be the last memories of the children who walked out of the orphanage.

Turning through the pages, the 'childish' Jorah gradually became a mature lady.Only the smiles of the boys and girls surrounding her remained unchanged.

At the same time, there are a large number of letters with different handwriting in the safe. After a casual look, almost all of them are greetings and blessings to Dean Jorah. They come from all over the five countries of the Entegray Alliance. They don't look like they are forged.

This is too ridiculous,

Could it be that 'Policiano Giola' was also a good man?

"Pity···"

Anyway, it's all about to be destroyed.

"Are you... the kid from yesterday?"

? !

Rossi, who had just walked out of the dean's office and walked through the corridor, was stunned. The elegant lady in front of him made him subconsciously assume an attacking posture and put his fingers on his waist.

At some point, the noble lady named 'Jorah' quietly stepped into Rossi's alert range again.

"Great--"

As soon as the figure flashed, the sweet wind rushed into the nose, and two hands hugged Rosie from the left and right.

Oops! ! !

Once the artistic fruit ability is touched, it will be a surefire success!

Rossi, who had no time to dodge, looked hard and quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed the opponent in the neck——

Snapped,

"I was afraid you wouldn't want to come here for help."

However, the imaginary ability attack did not fall, and the other party just hugged Rossi gently.If he hadn't tilted the dagger away at the last moment, the lady in front of him would have been killed by him with a dagger.

Is this woman... sick? !

Being hugged by the other party, Rossi's brain froze for a moment before he reacted.

"Policiano Giola, stop pretending!"

brush,

Stepping away from the other party's embrace, Rosie faced the woman in front of her and admitted that she couldn't understand her.

"You should have noticed earlier, I'm not a child..."

"No, you're just a kid."

Turning a blind eye to the dagger in Rossi's hand, the lady squatting on the ground stretched out her hand.

"I said, if you have any difficulties, you can come here for help——"

···

Facing the 'White Lotus'-like woman in front of her, Rossi almost began to doubt whether she was a master of acting or someone with the ability to perform 'Performance Fruit'.

?

"Everyone, come quickly,"

"Don't bully Dean Jorah!!"

Just when Rosie and he were not sure what kind of person this 'Jorah' was, amidst the chaotic footsteps, a group of children and teenagers, men and women, rushed over and blocked the noble lady behind them.

They held up various daily utensils such as mops, rulers, and paintbrushes in their hands, and their faces showed the same hatred, which made Rosie feel uncomfortable.

Why does it seem like he has become a villain? !

"Forget it, if you find me, you can only blame me for my poor stealth skills."

Putting the dagger back into his waist, Rossi kicked back and leapt out of thin air.

Turning around, accelerating, taking off - before the children could react, Rosie leapt onto the wall of the orphanage.

"That's it for now. I won't continue to pry for information about you."

Looking back at the lady surrounded by a group of children, Rosie finally said something more.

"If you really value this, beware of pirates—"

brush,

Jumping off the wall of the orphanage, Rosie quickly left the place and headed towards the dock area.

"Tsk, have you suddenly become overflowing with compassion under the influence of the other party?"

After all, Rossi is just an 'ordinary person'.

Of course, he can kill pirates, gangsters, and people who want to harm him decisively.

But facing ordinary people, when he knew that the other party would soon be destroyed, Rossi would still hesitate and hesitate to lend a helping hand.

"I remember, the phone number for the nearest naval base is..."

After flying for a while, Rossi stopped in a deserted park.After hesitating for a while, he took out his phone, dialed the number of the nearby naval base, and then——

'Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu~~ka,'

After making a 'request call' sound, the phone bug closed his eyes and entered rest mode.

This means that there is either no one on the other side answering the call, or it means: "Sure enough, the phone bug signal is blocked."

There is a kind of "horned phone bug" in this world that can hinder phone bug calls within a certain range, and an intelligence agency like CP3 must have this kind of thing.

"In this case, this matter is indeed beyond my control."

Putting away the phone bug, Rossi shook his head.

Maybe it's the photo album I saw before, maybe it's the children standing in front of Jorah...

As expected, he was infected by the 'naive' Jorah, and actually tried to change the plans of more than a dozen pirate groups, hundreds of millions of pirates, and CP3 involved.

"Hey, it's you——"

Just when Rosie felt inexplicably melancholy, a childish exclamation sounded not far away.

This... this guy is... the little girl who gave herself the identity of 'Popular Science' Jorah at yesterday's auction?

Looking at the little girl running towards him, Rosie looked around.

"Where are your parents?"

"Humph, they were talking about business. You, on the other hand, ran away without saying a word yesterday. I just talked about the real greatness of Miss Jorah..."

"Stop, stop, stop,"

Seeing that the little girl was about to start her 'Perfect Miss Jorah' speech again, Rosie, who was already in a melancholy mood, reached out to interrupt her and then patted the little girl on the head.

"Go home quickly. It's best to let your parents take you out of this city..."

Forget it, she's just a little girl I've only met twice.

Rossi shook his head and turned towards the dock.

Only the confused little girl was left.
