Chapter 188 It’s Easy to Fish in Troubled Waters!
The long night came to an end as the morning sun jumped over the horizon.
Bingshan didn't sleep all night.
It was already past two o'clock in the morning when I returned to the official residence of the city hall. After dealing with Khalifa's questioning, I didn't get a good rest when I returned to the bedroom. My mind was filled with messy thoughts, and I couldn't sleep peacefully. When I was exhausted to the extreme, When I finally feel a little sleepy——
Its daybreak,
Time to wake up.
Elus will leave the Water City today, and he, the mayor, has to show off no matter what.
only--
"What did you say?"
After washing up, Bingshan had just sat down at the dining table. Bingshan forked a piece of omelette and was about to eat it. Suddenly, the phone rang. The director of the Port Entry Administration called, saying that Prince Elvus's fleet had set off. The fork on the fork The omelette fell back onto the plate with a snap.
"Don't you know how to delay it for a while? If you think it can't be delayed, just call me as soon as possible!"
"...What? Are you being watched?"
"A bunch of idiots! They are really...useless!"
Bingshan hung up the communication and pounded the table angrily.
He is also planning to give away an ally! As a result, the plan was aborted before it could be implemented... It was not a big deal. After last night's turmoil, although they did not say it explicitly, both of them knew that we were true allies standing opposite the World Government!
The intelligence they have on each other determines that no one can betray the other. Elus's ambition does not allow him to sacrifice his knees in the Holy Land. The hatred that Bingshan bears makes him would rather die than surrender to the World Government. In this way, everyone He has become a caring ally, and there is no need to worry about some frivolous things.
Otherwise, Elus would leave without saying hello, which would be disrespectful to Bingshan.
As for now,
After Bingshan hammered the table, he continued to eat breakfast.
As a secretary, Kalifa would naturally feel strange. She would have wanted to figure out the reason before, but now she really doesn't have much energy. Bruno was captured alive by the cadres of the Revolutionary Army. This news came not long ago. It distracted her most of her attention.
A completely unexpected third party intervened in the events in the Water Capital in such an unexpected way.
Making the already uncertain future completely blurry.
Therefore, she had no other thoughts except being happy for Eleus to leave at this time. If the Black Prince also got involved in this muddy water... To be honest, she couldn't imagine what would happen. No matter what kind of situation, even CP0 will be pulled down.
However, the current situation was enough to give her a headache.
Bruno was captured, and the Revolutionary Army might have obtained relevant information about Pluto's drawings at this time. She did not doubt Bruno's willpower, but it was not like there were no means in this world that could directly pry into other people's memories and thoughts.
What to do next?
Start capturing Bingshan and Frankie alive now?
Or should we continue to monitor and let the revolutionary army strike first, so that they can strike later?
Lu Qi is the leader of their lurking team and has the decision-making power, but he will not ignore the opinions of others on what to do. The previous contact with her was just to inform her of the corresponding situation and ask her to keep an eye on the iceberg. As for the next action... I haven't decided yet!
"Kalifa, Kalifa?"
"...President? Ah!"
Kalifa came back to her senses and saw Bingshan's face coming closer, and subconsciously kicked him out, "Please don't get so close, you are - sexual - harassment."
"It's not that... I see you are in a daze."
Bingshan patted the non-existent dust on his body. The floor in the mansion was swept so well that even if he rolled around, his clothes would not be stained.
"Sorry, President, I didn't sleep well last night."
After making a random excuse, Kalifa still had difficulty concentrating.
This is not to say that her self-control ability is poor, but she has served as Bingshan's secretary for nearly five years. She knows the situation in the mansion very well. As long as there are no outside intruders, she is not worried at all. What an accident.
"You still have to get enough sleep at night, otherwise your skin will get worse."
Bingshan expressed his concern and continued to eat breakfast and read the newspaper.
————
Dock No. 1,
The incident in Bruno's bar has completely spread among the boatmen, and many people are discussing and guessing who will take action against Bruno? However, not everyone is so philanthropic. Most people can only express a few words of emotion verbally, and then the question becomes where to drink after get off work.
With all the bosses gone, Bruno's Bar obviously can't stay open.
They will need to find other places to drink until the next owner takes over.
"Lucci, what should we do next?"
"Wait and see."
"Wait? What if the revolutionary army strikes first?"
"I have contacted Gabra and Nuri. They will come to keep an eye on Franky's whereabouts. There is Kalifa on the iceberg... It's okay if the Revolutionary Army doesn't take action. If they dare to take action against Pluto's drawings, That would just happen to eat them all too.”
"...The Revolutionary Army is a tough one." Kaku, who was carrying a big tree, was stunned for a moment. He didn't know where Luo Qi's confidence came from.
If the Revolutionary Army only comes with branch troops, they will naturally have nothing to fear. But when it comes to the Pluto blueprint, God knows who the Revolutionary Army will send. If a fierce person like the commander comes, all CP9 members combined will probably be able to block it. You can't stand being slapped.
"······"
Lu Qi understood the hidden meaning in Kaku's words.
You actually think that he is no match for the revolutionary army? What he said... is true. Confidence is self-confidence, but he is not a fool. He knows that it is okay for CP9 to bully the members of the revolutionary army, but those powerful dragons from the new world are not like him. CP9 agents who don't even know how to be domineering can deal with it.
"... Don't worry, there's no one behind us!"
Lu Qi dropped his words and walked away carrying the big log.
Kaku was stunned and realized what Lu Qi meant. CP9 is not the world government's strongest spy agency. They also have a CP0 above them!
If the big shots from CP0 come forward,
That is truly a revolutionary army.
But... what should Bruno do? I can't think of a way to rescue Bruno from the revolutionary army... Thoughts are swirling and dying, saving Bruno... This is impossible. As a spy, after being captured by the enemy once, even if he is rescued, it is impossible. There is no way to trust like before.
At least,
Senior officials above will not trust a spy who has been captured.
Kaku looked at Lu Qi's back and felt deep helplessness in his heart.
that's all,
An invisible battle of wits and courage began to take place in the Water Capital. CP9 and CP0, who wanted to ambush the revolutionary army, set many traps around Franky and Bingshan. However, the revolutionary army seemed to see through the ambush and was never fooled. , instead played a trick on CP9, and even Gabra was kidnapped and disappeared.
————
"...The current situation is like this. Both CP9 and CP0 regard us as the revolutionary army. It just so happens that Mr. 2 stores the memories of many revolutionary army cadres. I ask him to occasionally transform and show his face outside. Ms. Leafa has been so nervous that she hasn’t slept much at night lately..."
Fran's voice was light.
The pleasant taste is hard to conceal and is perfectly imitated by the telephone bug.
"CP0······How do you feel after fighting?"
Elus had anticipated the current situation in the Water City from the very beginning when he planned to make the Revolutionary Army take the blame. After all, it involves the dual elements of the Revolutionary Army and Pluto's blueprint. It is no wonder that the World Government does not pay attention to it, CP9 is unable to cope with it, and the Navy cannot be justified. Take action against Mayor Bingshan.
The dispatch of CP0 is an inevitable result.
It has been half a month since he left the Water City. Within this half month, CP9 and CP0 fought fiercely with Fran and his party, who were regarded as the revolutionary army. The people in CP0 were impatient with this kind of mutual exchanges. A calculating fighting method, preparing to kidnap Bingshan and Franky by force, and interrogate the whereabouts of Pluto's drawings.
As a result, the person who took action was killed by Fran and others with a thunderous force.
now,
Fran is reporting on the situation in the Water Capital using the phone bug.
"...very strong."
Fran thought carefully for a moment and gave her answer.
"There were two attackers in total. Iska, Farug and I teamed up, and one of them almost escaped. Fortunately, Champion No. 3 and Champion No. 7 were on the outside to fill in the gaps."
Elus has far more manpower left in the Water City than Bingshan knew. Fran, Iska, Farug, Mr. 2... and several championship series artificial intelligence There is nothing wrong with people. Today, the artificial human technology of the Kingdom of Exmundo has been officially put into production.
It is different from the mass-produced replica soldiers in the Germa Kingdom, and also different from the modified people who need to be cultivated from the mother's womb.
The artificial human technology of the Kingdom of Ekmundo has also been integrated into the technology mastered by Miss. Ba Jin, using the blood factor of a single strong man to create a group of degraded artificial human soldiers. Naturally, these degraded individuals cannot compete with the original body.
However, they have the characteristics of being brave and unafraid of death, and being absolutely obedient. In addition, they win with numbers, which makes up for the weakening in strength.
The so-called Champion Series uses [Fighting Champion] Gizas Badges as the provider of blood factors to create a group of powerful soldiers with armed domineering power. When he was on the mast ship, more than ten soldiers from the Champion Series were sent to him.
He left all of this group of soldiers to Fran to help her fight against CP0.
"Get rid of as many CP0 members as possible, and then... expose the Pluto blueprint on Franky's body, let CP0 capture him, and then let the Revolutionary Army rob him, preferably in full view of the public. Destroy the drawings..."
In this way, the iceberg is equivalent to withdrawing from the mud pit of Pluto's drawings.
And Franky,
Just make sure Franky is alive.
As for the future... Franky probably won't be able to stay in the Water City, but the world is so big, there are always places he can go, and he doesn't know if he will meet the Straw Hats again.
"By the way, have the Revolutionary Army arrived?"
Eleus asked.
"I can probably get here this afternoon, but...it seems like the dragon has come in person." Speaking of this, Fran was a little worried.
revolutionary army,
Yes,
Elvus also dragged the Revolutionary Army into the whirlpool of the Water City. The Revolutionary Army readily agreed to this and were not at all annoyed by Elvus' behavior of blaming them. On the contrary, Elvus Si used his actions in the Water Capital to prove his opposition to the World Government.
This made the revolutionary army, which had always lacked allies, quite excited.
Although we were all allies in the past, there were as many revolutionary forces as allies who cooperated secretly, but there was no force that could really support them openly. Now Elus's various actions are vaguely revealing that the secret will be controlled by The meaning of turning bright...
Of course you should be happy!
However... Monkey D. Long personally took action, which gave Elus some surprise and headache.
If other cadres come, Fran will not be commanded even if he can't command. But as for Long... Fran may not be able to withstand the pressure resolutely. Forcibly driving will definitely not work, but I'm afraid I'm afraid of the silent means of moisturizing things.
"... Fran, our goal is to get Mayor Bingshan out of these troubles, and to capture as many members of CP9 alive as possible. I want to try to tame these hounds. In addition... the Revolutionary Army Let them do whatever they want, even if the Pluto blueprint in Franky's hand is taken away by them, it doesn't matter."
"Anyway, Fran, remember, the plan can be changed, but our goal must be achieved."
Although Elvus did not think that Long, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, would ignore the lives of Bingshan and others, it was not the style of the Revolutionary Army to disregard human lives, especially for a conscientious and good official like Bingshan...
"I see."
Fran's voice was firm.
Immediately,
She asked again: "Your Highness, do you have to capture CP9 alive? These guys feel their bones are pretty hard."
"If they are soft, I don't need to bother to tame them, right?" Elus laughed, "Don't be too obsessed with capturing them alive. You can try to capture them alive while ensuring your own safety. If you don't have a chance, forget it. This thing is just Whether my personal interest succeeds or fails, it doesn’t matter.”
This time Fran remained silent.
Regardless of whether it is His Highness's hobby or not, a qualified maid will naturally do her best to complete orders.
She changed the subject and asked about Eleus's affairs.
"...I'm here! The whereabouts of the Silver Fox Pirates have been found. They're in Alabasta. I can already see their flags here. It's very lively. !”
Elus stood on the deck holding a phone bug in his hand. From here, he could clearly see the pirate ship anchored in the bay.
It took him a lot of effort to find this hidden bay.
Since Crocodile was defeated and the Baroque Society collapsed, King Kobra regained control of the kingdom's power, reached an alliance with the Kingdom of Exmundo, and gained strong support from the Kingdom of Exmundo, especially when he went to Bell of the Falcon, who returned from training in the New World, serves as the Kingdom's Navy Minister.
The pirates suddenly suffered a disaster.
In the past, the military power of the Kingdom of Alabasta was mainly reflected in the army. The standing army of up to 600,000 was definitely the strongest army in the first half of the Great Route. It cannot be said that there is no navy, but it is far less powerful than the army, otherwise there would be no need to overcome it. Rockdar took action to annihilate the pirates to gain prestige.
Now we have allies like the Kingdom of Exmundo and the Water City.
The Kingdom of Ecmundo helped train officers, and the Water City provided warships...Alabasta's navy had already established its reputation in Paradise with the heads of thousands of pirates, and had no guts to land on Alabasta. Stan's regular port, pirates can only venture to the bay with reefs, the abandoned old port...
This is a wild port that is not controlled by the kingdom.
Pirates, smugglers, wanted criminals... In short, this place without even a name has become a gathering place for these shady guys. Alabasta's navy has not been able to completely encircle and suppress it several times. Get rid of these cancers.
To be precise, it is impossible to completely eradicate it. As the saying goes, wildfire will not burn out, but it will grow again when the spring breeze blows!
