One Piece: How Can I Become King Of The Pirate If You Don’t Work Hard?

Chapter 162: Each One Has Their Own Path To Follow



"Don't be stupid."

Stussy sneered and said: "The opponent is a great pirate who defeated the former admiral of the Marines. If you really do something, you will die without knowing how."

"Remember."

"Your mission is just to collect intelligence. Don't do anything unnecessary."

"Understood!"

After hanging it up, Stussy sat on the sofa, licked her lips with her tongue, and said: "I'm really curious about how much impact this group of rising pirates will have on the Grand Line."

"Right."

"Vegapunk shouldn't have obtained his genetic sample yet, right?"

"I'm curious, if the research is successful, will the final product be more powerful than the original one?"

A few days later, at Water 7.

Iceburg sat in the office, frowning as he watched Franky get into trouble again. He couldn't even help cursing, but in the end, he still obediently cleaned up the mess for him.

Although he was harsh in words, his tolerance for Franky had actually reached a level that could be seen at a glance.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a knock on the office door.

Before Iceburg could speak, a tall figure with blond hair pushed the door open.

"Kalifa?"

"Mayor, I'm here to resign."

"Is it so sudden?"

Iceburg looked at the woman with a beautiful figure, outstanding appearance, and arrogant temperament in front of him, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

Even without mentioning her appearance, Kalifa's workability was extremely outstanding, saving him a lot of trouble.

Iceburg subconscious retention: "Would you like to reconsider it? If you are not satisfied with the salary, I can increase it for you."

Kalifa shook her head, looking as if she had made up her mind to leave.

Seeing this, Iceburg had no choice but to sign her resignation report.

Watching Kalifa's departing figure, Iceburg felt lost for a moment.

At the same time, Galley-La Company dock no. 1.

On a ship whose frame has just been built, countless craftsmen are busy using the tools in their hands to perfect the ship bit by bit.

Vice President Paulie sat aside, raised his hand to take off the cigar from his mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke, then frowned and looked at the silent man in front of him, saying: "Lucci, have you really decided to leave?"

While asking, there was a hint of disappointment in Paulie's eyes.

After two years of getting along, although the man in front of him was silent, he was also one of the most outstanding employees in the shipyard, and Lucci had a very good personal relationship with him.

In Paulie's eyes, Lucci and Kaku, standing next to him, are people he can trust.

"Boss, something happened in this guy's hometown; he has to go back."

Kaku put a hand on Lucci's shoulder and explained to Paulie.

"Is this so…"

Paulie sighed and said: "Since you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

"But if one day there is no other place to go, Dock no. 1 will always have a place for you. We will always be friends."

Kaku calmly raised his hand and pressed his hat, hiding his expression in the shadows while Lucci said expressionlessly: "I understand. Thank you for your care over the past two years."

Paulie's mouth curled up into an unconcealable smile: "Bastard, don't say such sad things at a time like this."

"Go!"

Lucci nodded, took off his work clothes, turned around, and left. Seeing this, Kaku immediately followed him.

After a few minutes, the two of them sat in an empty corner, watching the setting sun in the distance, and remained silent for a while.

After a few seconds, Kaku couldn't help but ask: "Not only Kalifa but you have also been removed from the mission. Are they planning to give up the blueprint of that thing?"

Lucci shook his head and said solemnly: "According to what Spandam accidentally revealed, the higher-ups are very dissatisfied with our progress and are ready to let other people take action."

"After Kalifa and I leave, the mission here will be taken over by the other people, and even the CP0 will be involved."

Kaku nodded, his brows gradually frowning.

After working in the World Government's intelligence system for more than a decade, he knew exactly what CP0 meant.

The strongest intelligence organization in the world, even known as the shield of the Celestial Dragons.

Since the World Government has even dispatched the CP0, it has basically been confirmed that the blueprint of that thing exists in the seven Water 7.

Thinking of this, Kaku's eyes fell on Lucci in front of him.

Having been with Lucci for many years, he naturally knew that the man in front of him was extremely cold towards his opponents, but he still had some feelings for his companions, who had grown up with him since childhood.

However, if this feeling conflicts with the mission, then the will and justice of the World Government will be more important.

"I know; you should be careful, too."

"Um."

Lucci nodded and said: "The higher-ups have already arranged the corresponding script; we just need to follow it slowly."

Rob Lucci got up and returned to his residence.

After he packed his things, he checked again to make sure there were no clues that might expose his identity, then boarded the departing ferry with Kalifa.

A few days later, a piece of gossip began to spread among the Grand Line.

Rob Lucci, who is known as the strongest genius in CP9 in the past 800 years, and Kalifa, a former member of CP9, teamed up to steal the treasure map left by Captain John and were discovered. After injuring hundreds of people, they escaped with serious injuries and were wanted by the World Government.

Due to the threat posed by the two, the World Government directly offered a high reward, and the bounty on Rob Lucci, the mastermind, was over 100 million.

For a time, this news caused a sensation on the Grand Line.

Some people questioned the authenticity of the news but swallowed their words when they saw the World Government ships frequently appearing in the harbor, searching for the two people.

"Is that Captain John, the legendary person who owns one-third of the world's gold?"

"If we can get that gold, we can become the richest people in the world."

"Damn it! We have to go out too! We can't let the Marines and other pirates get ahead of us!"

Soon, even the pirates who got the news joined in the carnival.

But these two people seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace from everyone's sight.

Raven Harbor in the East Blue.

In the back mountain direction, two figures are fighting fiercely.

The two swords clashed in mid-air, and the dissipated Flying Slash left hideous cuts on the surrounding rocks and even cut off the surrounding peaks.

This fierce battle lasted until late at night before it stopped.

Gawain slowly sheathed Guanze Masamune, but his eyes fell on Fujitora across from him, feeling a little reluctant to part with this friend who was the only one who could help him with Conqueror Haki.

"Have you decided yet? Are you leaving tomorrow? Would you consider joining us?"

Facing Gawain's recruitment, Fujitora shook his head firmly and said: "I have understood everything here clearly, and I have witnessed what an ideal city should be like."

"If possible, I would like to stand side by side with my friends, but peace limited to a city or a place is not what I want to pursue."

"That is not the righteousness I am looking for."

Gawain sighed: "That's really a shame."

The same goes for Fujitora.

As the only person who can be called a friend and even a confidant, he is looking forward to working with Gawain to witness the world that Gawain really wants to create.

He had this hunch.

This man, whose view of the world is beyond this era, will one day bring real changes to the world, but at least not now.

And Fujitora also has his own path to follow.
