"Splash splash..."
Splashing waves rolled on the sea surface.
The gigantic sea slug uncontrollably sped across the sea, racing towards a certain uninhabited island.
On the training ground of the warship, Law was sweating profusely, bearing a huge load, constantly doing push-ups.
After repeatedly using his ability to the point of "exhaustion," he realized the embarrassment of having weak physical strength. Coupled with his Devil Fruit ability, the consumption of stamina was particularly large. Naturally, he wouldn't slack off in this aspect of training.
Even Vinsmoke Reiju and Vinsmoke Yonji, the siblings, were both tirelessly swinging bamboo swords nearby, grunting softly.
Meanwhile, Isaball and the Lion Demon each occupied one side of the warship. One was continuously practicing Soru and Geppo, while the other continuously imbued his sword with Conqueror's Haki, swinging sword energy towards the vast sea.
"Bang... bang..."
From time to time, several slashes flew out from both sides of the warship, smashing into the undulating sea with a violent explosion...
Dressed in a black and white casual outfit, his blood-red long hair falling casually over his shoulders, his handsome face slightly cold, Vinsmoke Ichiji leaned against a large chair. He held a phone-snail in his hand, currently talking to someone.
"Lord Ferdinand, I believe you won't doubt now whether Germa 66 is deceiving you, will you?" Ichiji said indifferently.
He knew that, at first, the other party was somewhat displeased that he himself hadn't personally gone to the South Blue.
After all, the matter was very important, concerning the highest intelligence agency, CP0. The other party was an official directly responsible to the World Nobles.
Once any mistake occurred, whether Germa 66 would be sanctioned by Marine Headquarters aside, the fate of his CP7 superior would definitely be tragic.
"Of course..."
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Ferdinand laughed, a smile plastered across his face, and said somewhat enviously, "Lord Ichiji, I truly didn't expect that you would be able to subdue the Fifth Division Commander under Golden Lion. It's truly surprising..."
When he had just received the report from his nephew, Jerry, he was still somewhat shocked. He originally thought he had been tricked by Germa 66 and had even wanted to quietly endure this setback, planning to take his revenge slowly later. He never expected that the one sent by Germa 66 was actually "Mad Tiger" Snyder Burris, a legendary figure from the previous era under Golden Lion Shiki. It simply left him pleasantly surprised.
Killing a member of CP0, he had no choice but to do it.
"White Wolf" was an extremely greedy fellow. Over the years, he had fallen into White Wolf's hands and had been mercilessly squeezed dry of all his worth. And White Wolf, who was not afraid of provoking government officials who bribed and acted recklessly, was not to be trifled with.
In this day and age, anyone who could rise to a high position in the World Government had some questionable dealings. His highest superior in CP7 was unfortunately targeted by the other party. Over these past few years, to satisfy this increasingly greedy fellow, he had already paid a considerable price. One can imagine what kind of fate awaited him if this continued.
Moreover, these past few years, Ferdinand had been diligently trying to send the most outstanding elite of his Ferdinand family's generation, his nephew Ferdinand Jerry, to CP0. He had put in a lot of effort, but it all ended in failure.
Gradually sensing something was amiss, one must know that although his nephew Jerry was not comparable to those true monsters, in terms of strength, he was definitely not inferior to the majority of powerful vice admirals in Marine Headquarters. Not to mention, CP0 also had a few "scum" from various high-ranking government families. Perhaps that "White Wolf" fellow wasn't in the highest position in CP0, but after all, he had been mixed up in this organization for many years. To defeat...
...a not particularly outstanding reserve member was still easy.
This was why Ferdinand risked assassinating the other party. If he could arrange for someone from the Ferdinand family to enter CP0, the returns would be immense. CP0 was not merely a simple thug for the World Nobles; its power was equally astonishing.
Humans were such beings. Ferdinand was undoubtedly equivalent to a fanatical gambler now, engaged in a political gamble! But unfortunately, he might have chosen the wrong partner!
"Are you sure, after dealing with that guy, your nephew can enter CP0?"
Ichiji was noncommittal and had no intention of responding to Ferdinand's probing. He asked indifferently. At first, he hadn't even thought that this Ferdinand guy had always wanted to send his nephew into CP0.
However, if the other party knew about Germa 66's massive ambition, they would probably not choose to cooperate with Germa 66, and might even not dare to contact this monstrous beast!
After all, compared to the World Government and Germa 66, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, Germa 66 wouldn't even be able to rule North Blue again, let alone attempt to challenge the World Government's ruling status. That would be no different from throwing an egg at a rock; it would simply be seeking death.
Ferdinand's daring to cooperate with an evil war organization like Germa 66 was only based on Germa 66 having decent strength. However, it was absolutely impossible for them to stir up too much trouble. The two could only achieve a more solidified "alliance" under the premise of mutual benefit.
But it was all too late. From the moment he took the risk of approaching the Vinsmoke family, it was destined that he would only be able to...
...follow Germa 66 all the way to the dark. Ichiji, of course, would not kindly remind the other party, nor did he intend to let him know too much information about Germa 66. As he went further into the dark, Ferdinand could only be a chess piece in Germa 66's hand. A chess piece only needed to be honestly manipulated.
This time, sending Burris out directly was mainly to show Germa 66's strength and simultaneously intimidate the other party.
"As long as no one deliberately obstructs, there shouldn't be any problems. Jerry's strength is not weak..."
Speaking of his nephew, Ferdinand showed a hint of pride. His nephew Jerry, though not comparable to those monsters, in terms of sheer strength, might not necessarily lose to that "White Wolf" fellow.
"That's good!"
Since the other party was so confident, Ichiji naturally wouldn't pour cold water on him.
He hung up the phone and immediately dialed another number to call Doflamingo.
"Fufufufufu~~~"
Doflamingo's unique laugh came through the phone-snail. He was clearly in a good mood: "Ichiji, what's up, calling me at this time?"
He had just completed a large-scale trade with Kaido. Although he didn't care much about money, the huge funds flowing in further boosted his reputation and credibility in the underworld. Doflamingo was still very satisfied.
"I need your help with something..."
