Chapter 122: A Man Who Keeps His Promises

Holy Land Mary Geoise, the Ancient City of Pan.

Inside the spacious and bright palace, the Five Elders took their positions one by one.

"According to the message returned by Fuxing, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, leading the Morning Star Pirates, has boarded the Donghai Dihuang and set sail for Elbaf."

Saint Saturn sat on the sofa and smiled.

"He is indeed a man who keeps his promises."

Once upon a time, the World Government was completely in the dark about the movements of Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen and his crew, learning of them only after Saint Elain was captured.

Now—

the benefits of planting moles have become undeniably clear.

The moment Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen departed, the World Government received the transmission the next instant, grasping all the movements of the Morning Star Pirates.

Only the matter of Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen previously appearing on the Red Line remained unclear to Fuxing, as his rank was insufficient to investigate the specific reason.

The other Four Elders nodded in agreement; Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen was first and foremost not of the D. family, and maintained friendly relations with the World Government.

Saint Elain... one could only say he had bad luck.

Moreover, the other party was willing to act as a white glove, which was fundamentally different from the other great pirates.

Although the other pirates did not explicitly raise the banner of opposing the World Government, they did things that opposed it, such as plundering World Government member nations and so on.

Before Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, the person the World Government most wanted to woo was Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard.

Whitebeard was also not of the D. family, and his pirate crew's power was immense, but the olive branches extended by the World Government were repeatedly rejected by Whitebeard.

Saint Saturn quickly made a response.

"Notify Saint Green G, lead the God Knights to Elbaf secretly and act according to the situation; if necessary, you may reveal your identity to Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen."

"Additionally, the Whitebeard Pirates and Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen have an extremely good relationship; Whitebeard even personally went to Hachinosu to attend the banquet."

A pride that could not be concealed appeared on Saint Saturn's face; all these pieces of intelligence stemmed from the Fuxing Mole Plan.

"The Fuxing Mole Plan is extremely successful; it must be promoted to the Whitebeard Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and even the Marines without delay."

Having ruled the world for eight hundred years, seeking stability is the World Government's primary demand.

Force and intelligence must be used together to crush all unfavorable factors in their bud.

The Morning Star Pirates rose too quickly; by the time the Five Elders reacted and ordered the Marines to launch a Buster Call, it was already too late.

Having spoken, Saint Saturn threw the last piece of intelligence returned by Foxy the Fox onto the table.

【Marshall D. Teach, nineteen years old, joined the Whitebeard Pirates seven years ago, suspected of hiding his strength; strongly recommend focusing attention on this person.】

Although he did not understand exactly what had happened to make Foxy the Fox specifically return this intelligence, Saint Saturn chose to ignore it selectively.

The reason for focusing on Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen was that the World Government was preparing to woo the other party.

As for that 'Teach' or whatever, he was just an unknown little pirate of the Whitebeard Pirates, not even a commander.

The Five Elders are very busy, you know!

Recalling Foxy the Fox's application for merit, Saint Saturn narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Fuxing is currently just an intern; his rank is not yet sufficient to attend the commander meeting. Arrange some merit for him quickly to promote him to commander."

"Additionally, I suggest screening a batch of suitable agents to be sent to the Revolutionary Army and the Marines respectively."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

(๑＞؂＜๑）

The New World, the Donghai Dihuang.

Beside the helm, while steering with one hand, Saint Saint Saiwen was listening to Master Tenghu's report via the Den Den Mushi.

"Captain, the monitoring equipment left by Miss Jin Ni discovered that Donquixote Rosinante and Foxy the Fox are each sending messages to a fixed number."

Vergo is sending messages to both numbers simultaneously. Since this is the first transmission, we cannot yet confirm if the numbers are fixed."

Saint Saint Saiwen had already reacted: Vergo was a mole sent by Langmingge Sect to the Marines, and then dispatched by the Marines to the Morning Star Pirates as a mole.

Good heavens, how many moles are you preparing to plant, kid?

A pirate waiter?

Or the legendary King of Moles?

"Good work."

"Keep in touch whenever there is anything."

At this moment, a malicious whim suddenly rose in Saint Saint Saiwen's heart: to send Vergo to the Beasts Pirates as a mole under the pretext of excellent performance.

This would allow him to control the movements of Wano Country at any time.

"Isshin, notify Vergo not to show himself too much recently; I have an important mission for him."

The Den Den Mushi was quite speechless: "O... kay."

After hanging up the phone, Saint Saint Saiwen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The reason for arranging Vergo to be a mole in the Beasts Pirates was that among the three little moles, Vergo was the oldest and had the richest experience in spying.

Furthermore, the Marines kept Vergo's file, so going to the World Government as a mole was obviously unsuitable.

Previously letting the three little moles know about the pirate crew holding a commander meeting was also done deliberately by Saint Saint Saiwen.

Want secrets? No problem.

Trade them for merit!

The so-called secrets of the Morning Star Pirates are only partially known by the commanders; the true secrets are Saint Saint Saiwen's god's-eye view.

The sea wind howled past, blowing away a thousand thoughts.

Compared to staying on Hachinosu, Saint Saint Saiwen preferred this life of setting sail and riding the waves.

How can a man be trapped in one place?

The only regrettable point was that, due to the need to garrison the Hive Island base, Master Tenghu and Yuzhi Xiliu did not accompany the ship to Elbaf.

On the Donghai Dihuang, there were only five crew members—Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, Mihawk, Jinshizi, Xiong Xiong, and Jin Ni—along with one of the pirate crew's pets, the Electric Duck.

This year since re-setting sail,

apart from most objectives having been achieved, there were unexpected gains, such as the honorary vice-captain Jinshizi, Yuzhi Xiliu the Rain, and the three undercover operatives.

Only the dedicated helmsman Fatty Blue, not even an invitation to join had been extended, let alone a single meeting.

Especially with the violent climate of the New World occurring frequently, a dedicated helmsman is essential; Shuiping's current steering skills may not be perfect, after all, he is a Fish-Man—talent is what it is.

And he can dive into the sea to retrieve people.

Diving into the sea to retrieve people is merely the most extreme last resort.

Due to his Lunaria bloodline, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen fears nothing if he falls into the sea.

Moreover, with his Flight Cloak, the Imperial Artifact Water Dragon's Embrace, and the instant-flash speed granted by his fruit ability, he is nearly impossible to fall into the deep sea.

Among the other officers, Mihawk has the anti-gravity device Flying Dragonfly, and Xiong Xiong, Jin Ni, Master Tenghu, and Yuzhi Xiliu have all been equipped by Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen with Flight Cloaks.

All officers of the pirate crew possess flight capability.

Jinshizi, though proud and reluctant to change clothes, possesses the Piaopiao Fruit ability that grants flight and the power to drain seawater, making him even less likely to fall into the sea.

Mihawk suddenly walked to the helm and reached out.

"No more alcohol."

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen pulled out a jar of dandelion wine. "Drink sparingly—I don't have much left."

After iced black tea, Mihawk had grown fond of dandelion wine, after all, it was certified by the Monde alcohol enthusiast.

Three points per jar of dandelion wine isn't expensive, but in the pirate world, everyone is a glutton, especially under Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's command, with the Giant Soldiers' Fleet.

If giants like Dongli and Buloki drank freely, Barzab Seven's hundreds of thousands of points wouldn't last; fortunately, the World Government has provided repeated subsidies.

Mihawk opened the wine jar and poured a cup for Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen. "How long until we reach Elbaf?"

About to meet the lightning squirrel Tie Lei, whom he had long yearned for, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's eyes blazed with fierce fire.

"About three days."

Lightning Squirrel~ Ah~ Ha~!
