Chapter 130: Listen to the Voices of All Things

Elbaf, the Royal Wang Gong.

After waiting bitterly for three days and three nights with no response from Iron Thunder, Saint Saint Saiwen pondered for a long time and decided to spend 50,000 points to purchase the ability to Listen to the Voices of All Things.

Listen to the Voices of All Things,

as the name suggests, allows one to hear the voices of all things, not limited to living creatures such as Sea Kings, News Crows, and fish.

It also includes objects like stones.

Those who possess the ability to Listen to the Voices of All Things are rarer than those who have awakened Conqueror's Haki.

It seems only six people possess it: Roger, the grandfather and grandson Karp, Rocks, and the father and son Oden.

This was not an impulsive expenditure by Saint Saint Saiwen, but a decision made after full consideration—

communicating with the current Iron Thunder, the lanternfish that swallowed pure gold, and Zou's location, the Elephant God, all require the ability to Listen to the Voices of All Things.

Lightning Squirrel, you think that by not speaking,

I have no way?

【Ding, congratulations on obtaining Listen to the Voices of All Things, remaining usable points 106266...】

Immediately, Saint Saint Saiwen's ears buzzed incessantly, like countless sparrows chirping; amidst the myriad of distracting noises, two voices were the clearest.

【Why hasn't your boss left yet?】

【He's taken a liking to you, just give in.】

He's not even half my height; he definitely can't lift me... Oh my, is he looking at us?

【Probably not...】

Saint Saint Saiwen snorted coldly; he had waited bitterly here for three days pondering a strategy, only for the two weapons to start chatting first.

【Continue, you two.】

After a brief silence, Iron Thunder suddenly transformed into a giant squirrel of ten-plus meters, first shaking its fluffy fur, then lowering its head to look down.

【I won't go with you, you're too short.】

Damn it, Saint Saint Saiwen felt he had suffered a personal attack; he took several deep breaths in a row, forcing himself not to immediately beat up the Lightning Squirrel.

【Electric rat, get yourself washed clean and wait.】

Short, huh?

I'm going to develop the Lei Shen form right now; I won't leave Elbaf until I can lift Iron Thunder.

After informing Mihawk of the situation and notifying Master Tenghu to send Vergo to infiltrate the Beasts Pirates, Saint Saint Saiwen instantly flashed to the roof of Iron Thunder's castle and sat cross-legged.

In the anime, Enel's 200 Million Volt Lei Shen,

involves transforming the entire body into lightning, increasing the voltage to 200 million volts to enlarge the body, becoming a lightning giant resembling the thunder god Takemikazuchi.

But the Lei Shen form Saint Saint Saiwen envisioned,

would fuse the Devil Fruit ability and the Lunarian tribe's flames to compose a complete Susanoo.

Not only clad in armor with flaming wings on its back, it would be taller, larger, and stronger than the 200 Million Volt Lei Shen, with no problem lifting the Lei Shen's hammer, Iron Thunder.

A strong alliance with Iron Thunder would yield even greater power.

Boom~ Boom~

From this day on, lightning and thunder began to flash above the Royal Wang Gong; Harald, initially unaccustomed, slowly found it difficult to sleep without the sound of thunder accompanying him.

Because an agreement was reached with Saint Saint Saiwen,

the seven members of the First Division of the Giant Warrior Pirates were released by Harald and reunited with Mihawk and others.

After starving for two days, the Golden Lion finally swallowed his pride and went to Jia Ba's house to beg for food.

The Golden Lion, devouring food heartily, caused a vague sense of unease to rise in Jia Ba's heart; the 300 million Berries Saint Saint Saiwen had paid as tribute seemed not even enough for meal money!

Dorry and the others were fine, as their home was originally in Elbaf, but Miss Jin Ni could... eat so much.

300 million Berries is definitely not enough for meal money.

Jia Ba: "..."

Actually, Jia Ba was very curious about what method Saint Saint Saiwen used to blatantly freeload off the Giant King.

Given the current situation, it seems Saint Saint Saiwen is preparing to freeload off the Giant King for a long time.

Jia Ba finally realized the truth.

The few crew members under Saint Saint Saiwen would freeload at his place until Saint Saint Saiwen finished his business,

although they could spar with each other, and Miss Jin Ni and Big Mom could help Lipri treat her fatigue, the consumed meal money would probably even require dipping into his private savings.

Jia Ba was speechless, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"My private savings!"

New World, Whole Cake Island.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Master Tenghu specifically called Yuzhi Xiliu to discuss how to proceed with sending Vergo to infiltrate the Beasts Pirates.

Hearing the details of the matter, Yuzhi Xiliu bit on his cigar.

"Mr. Tenghu, I have no experience, but since Vergo has been able to infiltrate twice, his infiltration experience must be rich; why don't we let him improvise freely?"

Master Tenghu couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Improvise freely?"

What a fine "improvise freely," in short, it means letting him roam free; I wonder what the Captain is thinking...

Master Tenghu understood that what Whole Cake Island currently lacked most was various kinds of talents; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Vergo to infiltrate the Beasts Pirates.

Although sending Vergo to infiltrate is indeed quite interesting.

"Yuzhi Xiliu, will you notify Vergo?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yuzhi Xiliu's eyes; good for you, Mr. Tenghu, everyone was deceived by your honest appearance.

"Fine, I'll go over there now."

After all, Master Tenghu was a senior on the ship and a Great Swordsman; before attaining the rank of Great Swordsman, Yuzhi Xiliu believed he ought to maintain sufficient respect.

Knocking on Vergo's door, Yuzhi Xiliu sensed through Observation Haki that Vergo had been startled inside.

Since the Captain had told Vergo not to show himself too much a few days ago, the young man had clearly become much haggard.

Vergo wore a pair of panda eyes.

"Captain Yuzhi Xiliu."

"Come in and speak."

Gently closing the door, Vergo's heart pounded nonstop, fearing Yuzhi Xiliu would stab him from behind.

"The Captain has a major mission for you."

Hearing this, Vergo breathed a sigh of relief. "Captain, Vergo promises to complete the mission."

Yuzhi Xiliu nodded in satisfaction.

"Among the three of you, you have performed the best; the Captain values you the most, which is why he is entrusting this crucial mission to you."

"Complete the mission, and you will be promoted to officer immediately."

Vergo inexplicably felt these words were somewhat familiar; it seemed that before he went undercover in the Morning Star Pirates, Marshal Sengoku had painted him such a big pie.

No way, not again!?

"You know, we are currently at a critical stage of development; intelligence work must keep pace, so we are specially dispatching you to infiltrate the Beasts Pirates."

As the words fell, Vergo stood frozen in place, and a laugh even rose in his heart.

Could it be that I am truly this excellent?

First, the Young Master valued me and sent me to go undercover in the Marines; then, at the Marine training camp, Marshal Sengoku valued me and sent me to go undercover in the Morning Star Pirates.

Now, I am valued by Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen and sent to infiltrate the Beasts Pirates to gather intelligence?!

The Young Master... the Fleet Admiral of the Marines... the Emperor of the Seas; could it be that these great figures Value So Highly me?

Well, I'm drawing four salaries as one person.

By this reckoning, I, Vergo, have at least lived to become a legend; the legend of the underworld, Vergo?!

"What? Is there a difficulty?"

Vergo snapped out of it and hurriedly shook his head.

"Captain, I am not very familiar with the Beasts Pirates and am thinking about how to infiltrate Onigashima."

Yuzhi Xiliu silently gave a thumbs-up.

See, this is what professionalism looks like.

He and Master Tenghu had just been worrying about how to launch the undercover plan, while Vergo was already thinking about how to infiltrate Onigashima.

Such a talent is truly a pity; if only he were one of our own.

"Work hard, and the future is yours."
