Chapter 159 The Taotu who wants to settle accounts with Wood
"I'm afraid this won't work. If it's just to deal with the World Government, Marshal Sengoku won't let Lieutenant General Garp come with him this time.
Marshal Sengoku means to fish in troubled waters as much as possible to obtain the design of "Pluto" without offending the World Government.
And we can’t let the world government know that the blueprint has been obtained by our navy.
In other words, the best person to get the blueprint of ‘Pluto’ is you, who appears to be a pirate but is actually an undercover navy agent.”
As soon as Gion finished speaking, Wood's head was shaking like a rattle in rejection.
Sengoku Lao Immortal is really trying to trick him. He is now a new pirate. Even before his rebellion, he was only a lieutenant commander in the navy. He really thinks he is 007.
"Sengoku Laobu..., that's not what Marshal Sengoku said when he asked me to take over this confidential mission.
He promised that he would not let me do dangerous tasks beyond my capabilities, and he also agreed that I would only be responsible for providing intelligence.
But according to your script, I am going to become the king of pirates right from my debut!"
Stealing the design of "Pluto" under the nose of the World Government will undoubtedly make Wood completely offend the entire World Government.
And if this design drawing is still snatched from the hands of naval hero Garp and Rear Admiral Peach Rabbit, Wood's fame will undoubtedly spread throughout the sea overnight.
For pirates, having a huge reputation is indeed a good thing.
However, the point of the problem is that when fame exceeds one's own level of strength, it is not a wonderful thing.
The name of the ancient weapon "Pluto", the people on the sea who are interested are definitely not only the world government, but other big figures on the sea will definitely have ideas.
As the owner of the blueprint, Wood will not only offend the World Government, but will also become a target in the sea, and both black and white will pursue him fiercely.
"Marshal Warring States and Lieutenant General He have also discussed this matter.
If you can get the blueprint of "Pluto", Lieutenant General Garp and I will be responsible for the pursuit. Then the navy traitor Wood will eventually "die" on the sea, and the blueprint of Hades will also be lost in the sea.
Your undercover mission can end early, and then the headquarters will send you to a remote area to serve as a branch colonel for a few years, and then you can come back after the limelight has passed."
Whether it is the world government or the big figures in the New World, Wood is now just a little-known figure.
It is completely reasonable for such a little person to be lucky enough to accidentally obtain the design of the ancient weapon "Pluto", and then die at the hands of someone like the naval hero Garp.
And for such a little person, the World Government and the big pirates in the New World won't pay too much attention. After a few years, Wood will be able to come back again with a different identity.
It is true that Marshal Sengoku originally asked Wood to be the undercover agent of the Navy on the pirate side, intending to let him develop slowly and implement a long-term plan at that time.
But now the appearance of the ancient weapon "Pluto" has disrupted his rhythm.
Although it was a pity to let Wood give up the mission, after all, he had seen Wood's intelligence ability through this incident.
But if you can get "Pluto", Warring States also feels that this wave is not a loss at all.
"We'll see what happens at that time. After all, sometimes things don't develop as smoothly as expected."
Wood, who knew the navy's overall plan, did not directly refuse to cooperate with Gion and their actions, because he understood that although Sengoku's plan was good, the process was definitely not as smooth as the other party imagined.
Especially now that Spadam only suspects that the blueprint of "Pluto" is in Tom's hands, and getting the other party to take it out is not an easy task.
After discussing the matter, Wood turned around and was about to leave, but Gion ducked out of the way again and stopped in front of Wood.
"Anything else?"
Facing Wood's inquiry, Gion did not speak, but stretched out his long-fingered palm towards him.
"In Gion, although I am a pirate now, I don't know it. I can't burn, kill and loot like other pirates, so I am still a little cash-strapped.
Don’t worry, after this incident is over, I will definitely rob a few wealthy pirate groups, and the Bailey I owe you will be repaid in double the amount!”
Looking at Gion, who was making begging gestures towards him, Wood thought that the other party was angry because of the previous incident, and now he was asking for a debt from him, so he immediately chose to cry for poverty.
To be honest, when he was in the navy, Wood felt that living on that salary every day was simply a dead end. Who knew that even if he changed his profession and became a pirate, he would still be poor.
No, strictly speaking, he is now poorer than before. When he was in the navy, he still had some spare money.
But now that he has become a pirate, when he goes to the street to buy something, he has to ask Robin, who is in charge of the financial power, for pocket money.
"Who asked you for money? I want back the paper of life you took from me before!
Don't get me wrong, you also have my life card on you, you are the only one who knows my movements, and I know nothing about your situation, this is too unfair!"
Wood instinctively wanted to refuse Gion's request. After all, sometimes he also wanted to do something shameful. If Gion's whereabouts were always under his control, this would not be a good thing.
Don't get me wrong, the shameful things Wood mentioned are only for the Navy.
In fact, Wood had wanted to try to contact the Revolutionary Army before. After all, he was no longer a marine, but a pirate with a righteous heart.
Although domestic slaves with three surnames are undesirable, it is always right to leave more escape routes for yourself.
Although many of the top generals in the Navy have true justice in their hearts, they are always restricted by the World Government.
Although the Revolutionary Army is slightly weaker now, Wood knows that this force will grow into a behemoth in the future. Investing as early as possible now can also gain more chips in the future.
Now I am a pirate on the surface, but in reality I am a navy, but in my heart I am leaning towards the revolutionary army, and I am wandering among the three forces, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to survive in the future.
"I'll give you three choices, either let me slash you twice to vent your anger, or pay back the money immediately, or give me the paper of life!
As your biggest creditor, it is reasonable to ask for your whereabouts!"
Seeing Wood dragging his feet, Gion became unhappy and made a move to pull out the Kinpira from his waist.
Out of instinct, faced with the three options of life, money, and freedom, Wood still consciously took out his life paper and decisively gave up the third option.
In the face of life and money, freedom is completely worthless!
