"Old man, the agents lurking in the Capital of Seven Waters are not members of our navy, right?"
Esdeath took off his hat and put it on the desk, staring at the smiling Kizaru.
If he was an agent arranged by the navy, Kizaru would not have mentioned the word "opportunity" just now.
"No, CP has always been responsible for the task of finding Pluto's design drawings." Kizaru picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"After all, it is an ancient weapon, and it is also a huge warship. The World Government has not even passed the Navy's proposal for a new warship, let alone let the Navy have access to a warship that can destroy islands."
"Furthermore, CP has been setting up in the Capital of Seven Waters for many years, and they would not be willing if the navy intervened rashly, so I spent a lot of effort to get the superiors to agree. Besides, you are still a colonel now, so they will not pay too much attention to you.
"
"Okay, I'll call Annan when we get back." Esdeath smiled.
"Sarah, this can't be done."
Kizaru said distressedly, "After the incident in Alabasta, you were originally going to be promoted to brigadier general like Smoker, but for this mission, I suppressed your promotion award."
"However, I cannot refuse the World Government's award, so after discussing with Sakaski, I gave all your credit to Annan. As a result, he has now become a colonel. You and he are now at the same level. In order to avoid
If there is a mistake in command, in principle, the same mission cannot be performed."
"Furthermore, Annan is Sakaski's subordinate, and the two generals coming directly to assist him will make the world government a little sensitive."
Kizaru put down the tea cup, "I don't want to go to Mariegio and explain to the people above."
"You're too lazy to leave the office," Esdeath complained.
"This is the phone number of Chief CP9. You can contact him first. Their office is at Judiciary Island and should still be there now. You can discuss with him how to assist."
Kizaru took out a note and handed it to Esdeath.
"That's it." Esdeath took the note and put on the hat.
"Then I'll take my subordinates there, just in time to solve the problem of his identity."
"Oh, is it that Crow?" Kizaru opened the drawer and took out a letter, "This is the explanation letter I wrote. Give this to them and the matter should be solved easily."
"How considerate, old man."
Esdeath received the letter in surprise.
"Oh, I have no choice but to do this." Kizaru said with a smile, "After all, those people on Judiciary Island are very troublesome. Even if I write a letter of explanation, it will be difficult for you to get what you want."
"It's very troublesome? Don't they even have the respect of a general?"
Esdeath muttered, waved her hands, and walked out.
"Let's go, old man."
Kizaru looked at Esdeath's back and smiled.
"I'm really looking forward to Esdeath's expression at that time. I hope my letter will be useful, otherwise she will be so angry that she will freeze the Judiciary Island into ice."
…………
"This is what you asked me to say."
In the conference room of the Ice and Fire Man, Annan said to Esdeath.
"I'm surprised to hear this mission." Esdeath smiled.
"That's true." Annan touched his chin and nodded.
"But your old man actually wants Pluto's drawings? When did that old sailor become so diligent?"
No way, no way, no way, he is really the second uncle of the Straw Hats, an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army?
"Who knows, maybe he has a whim." Esdeath said, "You can't participate in this mission, so just wait for me to come back at the headquarters."
"It's impossible to stay in the headquarters. I also have a mission." Annan shrugged.
"The headquarters can't stand Smoker messing around, so they asked me to temporarily follow Smoker to stop him from messing around."
"Then this is a difficult task." Esdeath nodded, "It's more difficult than copying Pluto's drawings under CP's eyes."
………………
It doesn't take long to get from the headquarters to Judiciary Island. The Gate of Justice can reach Judiciary Island and the Deep Sea Prison Impel City through the government's unique whirlpool current.
Esdeath and Crowe disembarked at Judiciary Island, and the Ice Fire Man went to the Capital of Seven Waters for maintenance along the way.
Judicial Island is one of the three major institutions directly under the World Government. There is only daytime here and no night, but it is also the place where various intelligence agencies of the World Government work.
There is an unspeakable irony in an institution that lives in darkness but settles in the brightest place.
The outermost layer of Judiciary Island is surrounded by an iron fence. The entire island is divided into four parts, the front island, the main island, the Tower of Justice and the Bridge of Hesitation.
Esdeath and Crowe passed the first front door and looked at the two giants guarding the second front door. Crowe pushed up his glasses and his body trembled inexplicably.
"Lord Esdeath, if I come to Judiciary Island like this... there will be no problem."
Although he came here this time to solve his identity problem, as a former pirate, Crowe was a little uncomfortable with this place. Just like criminals don't like courts, how can any pirate come to the Judiciary Island with nothing to do?
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, will anyone catch you?" Esdeath chuckled and led Crow into the island.
There are various courts on the island, but these courts all have one characteristic, that is, they are empty.
Esdeath wandered around for a long time, looking at the trial center at the end, but still couldn't find a single staff member.
"This is what the old man said is a headache." Standing in front of the last courthouse, Esdeath helplessly turned on the experience.
All the courts I had visited before were lifeless, but fortunately there were still people in the court in front of me.
