Chapter 147

Deuce blinked and looked at Karl strangely: "You, you mean, the Marines are inviting Captain Ace to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"Hmm, that's right. As long as he agrees, he can replace Gecko Moria and become a new Warlord of the Sea."

Subsequently, Karl leaned against the railing, propped his waist, and looked at the two: "You already know my purpose. Can you notify Ace now?"

Deuce and Mihal looked at each other. Finally, Deuce gritted his teeth and looked at Karl: "I'll go find Captain Ace right away! Mihal, I'll leave the ship to you."

After speaking, Deuce jumped off the ship and ran toward Water 7 in a hurry.

Mihal:??? Thank you very much!

15 minutes ago, Water 7.

Ace and several subordinates were sitting on a Bull, looking around with great interest, taking in the cultural scenery of Water 7.

"Ace, look, this meat is Move Move Like a balloon full of water. It looks very good! Let's buy some and taste it!"

The person speaking was Skull, who was not originally a pirate but a self-proclaimed "collector," a pirate enthusiast, and a collector of skull merchandise.

Because he was too obsessed with pirates, he would always sneak onto various pirate ships and be treated as a handyman after being discovered until the ship arrived at the next port, until one time he sneaked onto Ace's ship...

Because he had traveled to various ports in the world by taking various ships, Ace valued his experience and knowledge very much, believing he had the potential to become an intelligence officer, so he invited him to join the Spade Pirates and become his crew member.

Ace grinned and greeted the Bull to stop at the stall selling Water Meat: "Ma'am, give me a few pieces of Water Meat."

"No problem! You are pirates, right?"

Ace's expression stiffened, and he smiled awkwardly: "Ah? Was I recognized? Ma'am, don't be afraid, we are just here to repair the ship."

The woman laughed and said: "What am I afraid of? Which pirate dares to cause trouble in Water 7? If you dare to do anything out of line, you will never be able to repair or buy a ship here!"

"Hahaha, is that so?" Ace smiled and scratched his head, then suddenly thought of something and asked quickly: "By the way, Ma'am, where is the best dock here?"

The woman pointed to the high wall with ① written on it not far away: "There, that's it. Dock 1, the best dock of the Galley-La Company."

"The best dock? That's great, Skull, let's go there!"

Dock 1.

"Mayor Iceburg, these two are looking for you for something."

Iceburg looked at the two shipwrights in front of him and rubbed his eyebrows: "Lucci, Kaku, what do you want to do?"

The pigeon on Lucci's shoulder "spoke": "Mr. Iceburg, I think with my current ability, I am qualified to be a foreman."

Kaku, who had a square nose beside him, also quickly said: "That's right, Mr. Iceburg. We've been here for two years. Now, besides those foremen in Dock 1, can you find any shipwrights with better craftsmanship than us?"

Iceburg revealed a smile. So that was it. He thought...

"Hahaha, as fellow shipwrights, I know your levels well. Becoming a foreman is naturally not a problem. In that case, Kalifa, take them to change the labor contract. From today—no, from now on, they are the foremen of Dock 1."

The blonde secretary Kalifa, wearing black fishnet stockings, adjusted her glasses and said indifferently: "No problem, Mayor Iceburg."

As soon as she finished speaking, a worker ran over in a panic: "Ice—Mr. Iceburg, it's bad. A group that looks Move Move Like pirates has come over. Should we send someone to deal with them?"

Iceburg waved his hand: "Don't worry about it. Remember, no pirate dares to cause trouble in Water 7."

"Lucci, Kaku, you two go see what's going on."

"Yes!"

After Lucci and Kaku left, Iceburg said to Kalifa beside him: "Later, when Lucci and Kaku are done, remember to help them upgrade their labor contracts. I have a meeting later, so I'll go first."

"Okay, Mayor Iceburg, take your time." A sharp light flashed in Kalifa's eyes. The opportunity had come.

Iceburg was gone, so she could just go and search Iceburg's office to see if she could find the design of "Pluton"!

On the other side.

"This guest, do you need to buy a ship or repair a ship?"

Ace said impatiently: "Repair the ship, repair the ship!"

The worker breathed a sigh of relief and said easily: "Oh, no problem. May I ask where your ship is?"

Ace: "Uh, it's over at Scrap Island. We came over first to see the situation."

"Oh, I see. Then I'll arrange for two shipwrights to go to Scrap Island with you to bring your ship to the dock here, is that okay?"

Ace nodded: "Of course!"

A few minutes later, Lucci and Kaku walked over, eyeing Ace and his companions.

"Lucci, Kaku, you came just in time. Their ship is parked at Scrap Island. I don't know how to bring it over. Please go and see, can you?"

Lucci looked at Ace deeply, thinking: Pirates, they look a bit familiar. They should have a bounty, and it shouldn't be low.

However, this had nothing to do with him. Catching pirates was the Marines' mission. They, CP9, had CP9's mission. Now he was an undercover agent, as long as he did his own thing.

"Guest, please lead the way!"

Ace looked at the pigeon on Lucci's shoulder in surprise: "Eh! Is it talking? How amazing!"

Skull said helplessly: "How is that possible? Haven't you seen ventriloquism? He is talking, and then this pigeon is performing, but it is indeed quite smart, cooperating seamlessly."

"Oh~ So that's how it is! Skull, you know so much."

"Hehehe, I've seen a lot, so I naturally know."

Hattori said: "Guest, can you lead the way now?"

"Oh, oh, oh, follow me!!!"

About ten minutes after leaving the shipyard, Ace and the others had reached the street.

"Ace! Ace!!! Great, finally found you!"

Listening to this familiar voice, Ace turned his head quickly: "Deuce? Why did you come over? Did something happen on the ship?"

Deuce accelerated and ran to Ace's side. After a brief panting, he said quickly: "The Marines are here. It's that Vice Admiral White Crow reported in the news a few days ago—no, now he's an Admiral Candidate!"

Ace's pupils shrank: "Vice Admiral White Crow? Is it that guy named Karl?!!!"

"That's right, Ace. Not long after you left, he came over. He said he wanted to invite you to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and wanted to talk to you in person, so I came over."

Ace frowned and asked cautiously: "He didn't do anything to Mihal, right?"

Deuce shook his head quickly: "No, his attitude was... quite good, and there was another Warlord of the Sea present."

"Who?"

"Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock."

Everyone present gasped. They didn't hear wrong, right? World's number one beauty Boa Hancock?

So, the world's number one beauty and the world's number one handsome man are together? Wait, now is not the time to care about this.

Ace clenched his fists and shouted: "Let's go!"

The Spade Pirates followed Ace, and Lucci and Kaku looked at each other and followed as well.

Melon-eating is human nature, and CP9 is no exception.
