Chapter 254: Return to Water 7

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 like a balloon full of water, it looks very good! Let's buy some and taste it!"

The person speaking was named Skull, who wasn't originally a pirate but a self-proclaimed "collector," a pirate fanatic and skull peripheral collector.

Because he was too obsessed with pirates, he would always sneak onto various pirate ships, and after being discovered, he would be treated as a handyman until the ship reached the next port, until one time he snuck 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, thinking he had the potential to become an intelligence agent, so he invited him to join the Spade Pirates and become his crew member.

Ace grinned and signaled the Bull to stop at the stall selling water-water meat: "Ma'am, give me a few pieces of water-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? No 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 not far away with a ① written on it: "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 "opened its mouth" and said: "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 have been here for two years. Now, in Dock 1, aside from those foremen, can you find any shipwrights with better craftsmanship than us?"

Iceburg revealed a smile. So it was because of this. He still thought...

"Hahaha, as shipwrights, I know your levels well. Becoming foremen is naturally no problem. How about this, Kalifa, take them to change the labor contract. From today—no, from now on, they are the foremen of Dock 1."

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

As soon as the words fell, a worker ran over in a panic: "Ice—Mr. Iceburg, it's not good, a group of people who look like pirates have come. Should we send someone to deal with them?"

Iceburg waved his hand: "No need to worry. 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 still have a meeting later, I'm leaving 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 search Iceburg's office to see if she could find the design of "Pluton"!

On the other side.

"This guest, may I ask if you need to buy a ship or repair a ship?"

Ace said impatiently: "Repair, repair!"

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, is that okay?"

Ace nodded: "Of course!"

A few minutes later, Lucci and Kaku walked over, their eyes scrutinizing 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 over and take a look, can you?"

Lucci looked at Ace deeply, thinking to himself: A pirate, looks a bit familiar, should have a bounty, and not a low one.

But none of this was his business. Catching pirates was the Navy's task; they in CP9 had CP9's tasks. Now he was an undercover agent, just doing his own job was enough.

"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, matching seamlessly."

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

"Hehehe, seeing more naturally makes you know more."

Hattori said: "Guest, may I ask if you can lead the way now?"

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

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

"Ace! Ace!!! That's great, finally found you!"

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

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

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

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

Ace frowned, asking with a solemn expression: "He didn't do anything to Mihal, did he?"

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

"Who?"

"Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock."

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

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

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

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

Melon-eating is human nature, and CP9 is no exception. ===== CHAPTER 256 =====
