Chapter 181: Marines Undercover Plan

The next day at noon, Saint Saint Saiwen saw off Ma Ma Ma Erke, Wadatsumi, and others at the Hive Island port.

"Little Saint Saint Saiwen, this... is too much."

Ma Ma Ma Erke scratched his head, having never expected Saint Saint Saiwen to load an entire ship with gold for them, claiming it was pocket money for the Whitebeard Pirates brothers.

"Little Ma, you know."

"Back in the Roger Pirates, I never touched money; I have no interest in money, and with Hive Island and Wano, I will never lack for funds in the future."

"This is money for the brothers to buy alcohol."

Skypiea has Gold Country, Hive Island has gold mines, and Wano is rich in mineral resources and the sole producer of Seastone; Saint Saint Saiwen is so rich he doesn't know what money is.

If he finds pure gold again, he will undoubtedly be the richest pirate.

Ma Ma Ma Erke pursed his lips, intending to open his mouth and complain a couple of times, but Wadatsumi poked his head.

"Take it, just take it."

"I'm still running an icebreaker in the dead of winter to earn pocket money for you bastards."

Muttering, Wadatsumi clasped his fists.

"Saint Saint Saiwen, call us anytime if you need anything in the future."

No wonder Newgate had such high hopes for Saint Saint Saiwen; he not only kept his promises and was Heavy on Emotion, but he was also good to his own people.

Wadatsumi also hoped that in the future, she could entrust the Whitebeard Pirates' group of silly younger brothers to Saint Saint Saiwen's care.

After Newgate retires, she will try a bit harder.

"Rest assured." Saint Saint Saiwen smiled and nodded: "I won't stand on ceremony with my brothers."

"Brothers, have a safe journey."

"Goodbye, we are heading back first."

Watching Ma Ma Ma Erke and the others board the ship one by one, Saint Saint Saiwen then used his Observation Haki mind-reading ability to secretly whisper to Wadatsumi.

【Big Sister, there's a saying back home: a forcibly twisted melon isn't sweet, but it quenches thirst.】

【Board the carriage first, then buy the ticket.】

【Hold the child hostage to command Uncle Newgate.】

Wadatsumi stumbled, nearly losing her balance, and a flush rose to her face as she flashed Saint Saint Saiwen the middle finger.

"We're leaving, you brat."

Wadatsumi's icebreaker did not return; instead, it followed behind Ma Ma Ma Erke and the others' ship, sailing toward the Whitebeard Pirates' base, the Moby Dick.

Ma Ma Ma Erke stood at the bow and asked in surprise.

"Big Sister, are you going to see Dad?"

Wadatsumi rolled her eyes.

"None of your business."

Saint Saint Saiwen was right; a forcibly twisted melon isn't sweet but it quenches thirst; this time she, Wadatsumi, would go back and forcibly twist that old melon, Newgate.

On the other side, Hive Island.

Back in the captain's cabin, Saint Saint Saiwen took the map of the second half of the New World from his system space.

The largest island in the second half of the New World seas: Wano, has now become the territory of the Morning Star Pirates and happens to connect with Hive Island.

If they capture Whole Cake Island and Future Island.

The seas leading to Elbaf, Mermaid Island, and Laugh Tale would be completely blocked off by the Morning Star Pirates.

It was only two final steps away from Saint Saint Saiwen achieving his goal of collecting tolls—

Capturing Whole Cake Island and Future Island.

Saint Saint Saiwen naturally understood the principle that going too far is as bad as not going far enough; this was just one of his visions for the future, and at the very least, he had to fool Imu first.

After the Marineford War, Imu was determined to sign a shallow sea contract with Saint Saint Saiwen.

Saint Saint Saiwen used the excuse of capturing Wano first to delay it for half a year.

At the World Conference half a year later, Wano will become a member nation of the World Government, and Saint Saint Saiwen will personally travel to the Holy Land Mary Geoise to attend the conference.

He definitely will not sign the shallow sea contract.

So recently he felt some urgency, wishing he could do everything at once, preparing fully to deal with Imu's provocation.

It's just about starting an all-out war, right?

Who's afraid of whom?

However, if he could continue to fool them, it would be more beneficial for the development of Saint Saint Saiwen and the Morning Star Pirates' power.

Writing and drawing on the map,

After marking Future Island and Elbaf and drawing a question mark over Whole Cake Island, Saint Saint Saiwen and Bartholomew Kuma returned to Skypiea.

One of Jin Ni's frequently complained lines was:

Captain, Bartholomew Kuma is almost becoming your lackey.

There was no way around it; who could blame the Paramecia-type ability of the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, being heaven-defying, almost equivalent to an external teleportation anchor?

The territories under the Morning Star Pirates' command were extremely far apart from each other.

And Saint Saint Saiwen could only temporarily use the Age-Age Fruit to simulate some abilities of the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, such as blasting out damage from inside the body or blasting shockwaves.

The only thing he could not simulate was teleportation.

After all, the Age-Age Fruit had only awakened recently, so he had to make Bartholomew Kuma suffer a bit for now.

The reason for specifically returning to Skypiea was that Saint Saint Saiwen planned for Enel to go undercover in the Marines during the Marines' global mass recruitment.

Compared to other old pirate crews, although the Morning Star Pirates' combat power was far ahead, their intelligence work was very backward.

Many pieces of information were provided to Saint Saint Saiwen by Morgans in his personal capacity as a favor; sending an undercover agent into the Marines was imminent.

Even the little Tsuru Tsuru in the North Sea playing house knew to send Vergo undercover into the Marines to gather information.

Let alone the Morning Star Group.

God's Island in the Sky Island, the Temple of Lei Shen.

Back in the Temple of Lei Shen, which he had not visited for a long time, Saint Saint Saiwen laid out all the Devil Fruits he currently possessed on the table.

The Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit and the Smoke-Smoke Fruit.

The Paramecia-type Sweet-Sweet Fruit.

The Mythical Zoan-type Pink Dragon Form and the Vampire Form.

Most of the Devil Fruits obtained from the Vault of Holy Land No. 1 were Zoan-type and Paramecia-type, suitable for obtaining points on the consignment trading platform.

As for the current partners of the Morning Star Group,

only Mihawk and the intern Raki Lu were not Devil Fruit users.

Even Xiao Bai Mao Yamato, having mistakenly eaten the Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Type, Great True God Form due to hunger, felt very regretful about becoming a landlubber.

As for the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit, Saint Saint Saiwen had other arrangements, preparing to send a surprise to the wise general Sengoku.

The Sweet-Sweet Fruit held immense strategic significance and was obtained from the World Government, so it would be kept for the time being.

The Mythical Zoan-type Pink Dragon Form was very suitable as a mount; riding a pink dragon while traveling would be absolutely cool and stylish, but Tyrannosaurus Rex was too cute to refuse eating.

Even for the sake of a stylish mount, the Pink Dragon Form had to be kept, leaving only the Vampire Form for Enel to choose.

"My lord Lei Shen, you summoned me?"

It had been two years; the nineteen-year-old Enel looked almost no different from the image Saint Saint Saiwen remembered, tall and slender, with a pair of large ears hanging past his chest.

"Enel, the two-year term has arrived; I have an important mission to entrust to you."

Upon hearing he was to go to the Blue Sea and infiltrate the Navy as a spy, Enel was momentarily stunned.

"Can going to the Navy lead to the Infinite Land?"

Enel could not forget the legend of the Infinite Land and was determined to break away from the mortal world to live on the moon.

"It is best not to mention the Infinite Land."

Saint Saint Saiwen explained: "The Navy is a tool the World Government uses to maintain its rule; once they learn of the Infinite Land, they will surely go there before you."

"Three years; you only need to spy for three years."

"After three years, I will personally take you to the moon to seek the legend of the Infinite Land."

Hearing this, Enel's eyes lit up.

"Fine, I'll go."

He had endured more than ten years of bitter life in his hometown, Bika; how could he lack these three years?

Let alone spying for three years; even if it were three years after three years, Enel would not care.

Saint Saint Saiwen pointed to the Devil Fruits on the table.

"Will you eat the Devil Fruit? The Mythical Zoan-type Vampire Form, which allows one to become a vampire."

Suddenly, an ugly image floated before Enel's eyes: himself with fangs in his mouth and bat wings on his back.

"Too ugly."

"Very well," Saint Saint Saiwen said, standing up.

"Let's go; I will take you to the Blue Sea."

In the anime, the Navy fortress G8 Branch, where Luffy and others fell after dropping from the Sky Island, happened to be directly beneath the Sky Island.

It was very suitable for Enel to go for an interview.

"By the way," Saint Saint Saiwen solemnly instructed.

"Under no circumstances tell the Navy that you know me."
