Chapter 176 Porusalino: My Disciple Cannot Be an Undercover Agent

In order to prevent the Whitebeard Pirates, currently the most powerful group in the New World, from taking into account the World Government's next move, which is the Navy's upcoming "Frozen Throne" plan on Fish-Man Island, some intelligence personnel have infiltrated here. A small island that continuously provides funds to the Whitebeard Pirates - they will perform secret missions here to provide assistance to the Navy's front-line training operations.

Don Quixote Rossindi, who has been in the navy for some time and was awarded a Devil Fruit for his excellence and loyalty, is one of the intelligence agents who has infiltrated this island - more accurately. That said, he is also the captain of the action team.

"Come on, drink, drink, drink!"

Disguised as an ordinary pirate, Rosinandi filled the cup of the young bastard next to him who was completely red from drinking.

"I'm sorry to ask you to treat me... So, what was it you were asking about just now?"

"It's about the boss in charge of this town! You know, small fish and shrimps like us, every time we go to a new place, we must understand the local situation, otherwise if something happens, our lives will be in danger It’s gone!”

Rosinandy chatted with the gangster he met on the busy street, intending to get some information from the gangster. This gangster was a character he carefully selected. He had just come out of the casino and seemed to be in a bad mood. He invited him to drink. It’s easy to get into a conversation with just a few drinks.

"The boss of the island is Mr. Oliver who runs the casino! Although after the death of the previous generation, the young master of their family has inherited the family business now!"

"Brother, you have already said this before, but then again, what kind of people were the previous generation like?"

"Oh, the previous generation... Well, old-school pirates who are neither good nor bad. I heard that I have some fate with the big pirate Whitebeard, so I can use his flag. In Porto Zibaralta It will be good after this place becomes prosperous... Now this is not allowed, and now that is not allowed, there are a lot of rules! Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and curse!"

"Hahaha, I understand this, but there's nothing I can do about it. After all, all the islands with the Whitebeard flag have restrictions. Things like drugs, slaves, etc..."

Although saying that pirates are good people goes against the position of the navy, Rocinante, who was influenced by Porusalino, would not simply judge a person based on his position. He would pay more attention to what the person did. , which is what Porusalino often said: "One's heart is not concerned with one's deeds."

As far as the identity of a simple pirate is concerned, Rosinandi believes that a person like Whitebeard who does not like racial bullying and slavery itself can be considered a "good" pirate.

"There are always people coming and going on this Puerto Baralta Island. Even if you leave it alone, money will flow here! The casino also holds fighting competitions, concerts and other activities...and even if The operating income of a small bar like this is actually quite considerable! However, in exchange for the protection of the Whitebeard Flag, the previous generation banned all slave trade in this town..."

The drunken gangster kept complaining - in the previous exchange, Rosinandi learned that he seemed to have been successful as an intermediary for human traffickers for a while, but now he had to make do with it.

The island of Puerto Zibalalta is based on the tourism, entertainment and gambling industries centered on the port, and then derived various industries such as catering, accommodation, shipbuilding, commerce, etc., but no matter where All industries are controlled by the Oliver family, or have involvement from the Oliver family.

A considerable part of the income will be handed over to the Whitebeard Pirates in exchange for the protection of their flag, which is enough to scare away most pirates in the New World.

In this regard, the World Government and the Navy had almost completely ignored it before - to be precise, they could not interfere.

Of course, naval warships performing missions in the New World sometimes stop by the port. In this case, as long as we add some benefits and give each other a little face, we can live in peace.

But, that was back when the Navy did not have enough strength and confidence. Although it had top combat capabilities, there were basically no people in the younger generation who could hold up the situation. And the current Navy has greatly increased its strength through the previous global conscription and the training of the new generation of generals compared to before. Naturally, it is no longer willing to take stability as its first goal as before...

For example, this small island that continuously provides funds for the Whitebeard Pirates and can be called a treasury but does not have any of Whitebeard's sons stationed there is a very suitable target for operations in the eyes of the Navy and the World Government...

"This town is a great place where wealth continues to accumulate! So after inheriting the family business, Mr. Oliver began to reform... Well, in fact, it means deregulation and returning to the previous state!"

"That's what I want to know!"

Rosinandi carefully checked the surroundings, then showed a meaningful smile, and quietly took out a photo - the gangster held his breath after seeing the photo.

"Dude, isn't this a mermaid...?!"

The photo is of a mermaid girl, and there is a fresh scale.

"Hehe, this girl is a beauty who is considered a celebrity on Mermaid Island!"

"real or fake……"

The little gangster suddenly became nervous and quickly lowered his voice, "Do you really have it on your hands, mermaid girl?!"

There was excitement that could not be concealed in his words.

Slaves that can be circulated through formal channels are pirates and other criminals or residents of countries that are not members of the World Government. After all, the World Government needs to formulate some unfair rules to promote the benefits of joining them and maintain its own rule.

Depending on race, gender, etc., the price of slaves also varies. A girl from the mermaid tribe is worth at least tens of millions of beli. If she can be transported to the Holy Land of Mariejoia for auction, the Celestial Dragons, who have "people are stupid and rich" written on their faces, will not hesitate to spend a lot of money.

"I was worried that I couldn't find a way to take action. At that time, I happened to hear rumors about this town... But actually, I also admire Whitebeard's benevolence. On the one hand, I wanted to take action, but on the other hand, I felt that this was not good. …”

"What nonsense! Whitebeard is just a bastard pirate!"

The little gangster looked very disdainful.

"oh?"

"What's the difference between him and the evil people in this town like us? He steals from others, robs from others, kills from others... he kills people all the way. The person who stands at the top of all the evil parties, on the other hand, cannot buy or sell slaves - speaking of No matter how amazing it is, it is not convincing at all! After all, we don’t all live by robbing other people’s things! Pirates want other people’s lives! Human traffickers are people who take other people’s things away... Look, they’re all the same! He is just a little more powerful!"

A young gangster could have such insights and eloquence, which really impressed Rosinandi. And I have to say that the main views of this little gangster are somewhat consistent with what Rosinandi heard in General Zefa's class.

"Oh oh oh! Listening to your words, brother, is better than me working hard at sea for ten years!"

Rocinante pretended to be extremely admired - not to mention, there was a reason why he was chosen as an undercover agent by the Sengoku Marshal in the original plot, not just because of his Devil Fruit abilities. Looking at his acting skills alone, not to mention the little gangster in front of him, even the senior official of the World Government who is good at playing tricks, there is no problem at all.

"That's not true! I think back then, brother, I was also a famous man on the sea! It's a pity that bad luck later..."

The little bastard felt extremely comfortable being flattered by Rosinandi, and he couldn't speak nonsense.

Rosinandi struck while the iron was hot: "So brother, I mean, if, if my mermaid...well, escapes without my knowledge and is sold without permission, there is nothing I can do about it. Right? It doesn’t count as violating the rules of Whitebeard, a great pirate, right?”

"Oh! You kid!"

The little gangster's eyes suddenly lit up, "Well, there's really no way to do that. I can only say that I'm very unlucky..."

"Brother, this is what we are talking about. Five or five points is good. I want to get rid of it quickly!"

Rocinante deliberately looked anxious.

"Three to seven open."

"No, brother, you are too greedy! I even bought you a drink!"

"It's not that I'm unjust, my friend, it's actually very risky!"

"Forget it...when you see the ready stock, your eyes will pop out!"

Rosinandi stuffed the photo and scales into the little gangster's arms.

The photo was actually taken by the Navy at the Mermaid Cafe on Fish-Man Island. As for the scale... Dr. Vegapunk is always good at making interesting things.

Of course, using the mermaid as a guise is not purely from the perspective of the slave market, but fully considers the public opinion preparation before the "Frozen Throne" plan - the navy does not go to the mermaid simply to suppress the pirates. Island, but to protect the safety of the residents of Fish-Man Island!

"Hey! It's so exaggerated... Hey, you guys are so eager to take action. Could it be that the mermaid has been played by you in advance? If that's the case, the value will be greatly reduced!"

The little gangster showed a smile that all men understand, "Well, forget it, I can't help it, and Mr. Oliver is the one who set the final price anyway, so it's not our turn to worry..."

"Brother, when can we meet...with that Mr. Oliver?"

"Tonight is a big thank you day... Mr. Oliver is a very busy man when business is at its peak every year. But since it is a mermaid business, the situation is different, and I have my own hands to help... Just wait, brother, I Come and arrange it for you!”

The gangster talked about how he wanted Rosinandi to thank him, and went out to discuss it with his boss.

Rocinante looked at the leaving gangster, smiled, drank the wine in the glass in front of him, turned around and left the bar.

In an alley with not many people, Rosinandi lowered his head slightly, as if he was walking with his head down.

No one could notice that he was whispering to the miniature phone bug under his collar after activating the Silence Fruit ability:

"Robin, this is Rosindi, go report to Lieutenant General Sakaski and say everything is ready!"

"Good! Your news is very timely, Rosinandi! If it were any later, Lieutenant General Sakaski could not help but launch a direct attack..."

"There is no way. If Mr. Porusalino is not next to Lieutenant General Sakaski, no one can control his temper..."

…

late at night.

In a square some distance away from the central street of Portozzi Baralta, a huge tent was set up.

It was the tent of a circus that came to the island for a tour. Although it was a popular tourist spot for people traveling with their families during the day, it was already closed at this time and there was no one around.

Click——

Along with such a sound, a figure pulling a cart suddenly appeared on the street at night.

The cart carries a large wooden box, and the man pulling the cart has shackles on his feet. There were also several shackled men behind the cart, transporting what looked like very heavy goods.

"come yet?"

Rosinandi, who was guiding the cart, entered the circus tent through the side door. During the day, the little gangster was already waiting in the backyard. After Rosinandi responded calmly, he showed the goods to the other party. The man pulling the cart fell to his knees looking exhausted.

"Hey, no wonder you kid can get a mermaid. This slave of yours looks very strong! How much did it cost?"

"Haha, of course, only strong slaves can be used for manual labor~"

Rosinandi replied, "As for the price, I can't remember it clearly. It's not cheap anyway. I bought it at auction last time in the Chambord Islands. It's said that he was a pirate ship captain before!"

"...the Chambord Islands, I think back then, my brother and I were also a celebrity there! The bosses of many auction houses chatted and laughed with me!"

The little gangster didn't know that the big man who was pulling the cart just now with his head lowered was the highest-status Navy man he had ever seen in his life - Rear Admiral Dauberman, who was sent away with strong combat capabilities. No. "Fighting Dog".

"So...the mermaid is in that box?"

"That's right!"

There is a wooden box on the cart with "MERMAID" clearly written on it.

"Before calling Mr. Oliver over, let me make sure!"

Seeing what the gangster said, Rosinandi opened the small window on the wooden box. Through the small window, you can vaguely see part of the mermaid's tail fin.

"……let me out!"

A slightly hoarse and timid female voice came from the wooden box.

"Oooh!"

The little gangster immediately became excited. Female mermaids are worth tens of millions, and if they are lucky, they can be sold for hundreds of millions.

"But why does this mermaid sound so young? It seems much younger than the one in the photo you gave me..."

"Young fish, brother, the price of goods like this is high! Having said that, I want to complete the transaction quickly, can I help you~"

"Just wait, I'll call Mr. Oliver over now. He's already over there."

The little gangster took out his phone and made a call.

"Mr. Oliver..."

"It's settled,"

The little gangster put down the phone and said, "Mr. Oliver will be here soon. Well, just sit there and wait!"

"okay!"

Rosinandi sat down on the chair next to him very comfortably.

"By the way, what's in that other big box over there?"

The little gangster lit a cigarette for himself and asked curiously as he looked at another huge box besides the box containing the mermaid.

"Oh, that's another product... don't! Brother, I advise you not to look inside! Even though he was put to sleep with anesthetics, he is still as scary as a giant spider..."

"That's really scary~"

The gangster left the cart disapprovingly - a giant spider-like scary guy, how big can a spider be? How scary can it be? Eighty percent of it is just a gimmick made up to increase the sales value!

"Brother, I saw the celebration on the way here. It was amazing!"

Rocinante said as if unintentionally.

"Of course, it is Mr. Oliver's arrangement after all!"

"What kind of person is he?"

"Well, if I can describe it in just one sentence... I have never seen a more pure person than him."

The gangster made remarks that were completely inconsistent with his identity and knowledge.

"purely……?"

If Porusalino were here, Mr. Oliver's danger level would definitely be raised because of what this little gangster said. After all, in this world of pirates, the purer the person, the more dangerous they are, such as Hawkeye who is obsessed with swordsmanship, Sakaski who only wants justice, Luffy who just wants to be the Pirate King, etc.

But Rosinandi was not Porusalino after all, so he just thought the gangster's comments were interesting and didn't think much about it.
