"Do you still remember the candidate Shichibu Hailiwa who was defeated by you earlier?"
"Liva?" Esdeath shook her head, "I have no impression at all."
"That's the person who disturbed you and talked." Annan reminded.
"So it's him." Esdeath's eyes lit up, "I remembered, he is the pirate who can control the sea water."
"I was a little curious at that time. Isn't the sea water the nemesis of espers? He stood directly on the sea water, and it had no impact at all."
"Actually, Levi is not an esper. The reason why he can control sea water is because of a special weapon - Teigu." Crane explained.
"Liva comes from the Empire of the New World. One of the reasons why he wanted to become a Shichibukai was to find the Teigu that was scattered on the sea many years ago. You should already know this."
Annan and Esdeath nodded. Akainu had already talked about this with them on the way back.
"Teigu are special weapons invented by the empire of the new world." Crane said, "Although some of them are behind the times, they still have considerable power."
"Since eight hundred years ago, Teigu have been scattered across the sea amid the constant turmoil of the empire."
"Because the conditions for using the Teigu are very harsh and cannot be used by ordinary people, the Navy did not take this matter to heart before."
"But the World Government is very interested in the Teigu and has been cooperating with Liwa over the years to jointly discover the secrets of the Teigu."
"Now that the Empire has announced that it will join the World Government, the Teigu manufacturing technology they have mastered will definitely be obtained by the World Government."
"According to our information, the World Government's research on Teigu has produced preliminary results."
"If the restrictions on the Teigu can be lifted, it would be better to stay in the Navy than to fall into the hands of CP."
He said calmly.
"Grandma He, do you think this mission is to collect those imperial tools?" Annan asked.
"Yes."
He took out the document bag from his desk and handed it to Annan.
"Open it first and take a look."
Annan took the document bag, glanced at the word "confidential" written on it, and then opened it.
Inside is a Navy evaluation report on the Teigu and several photos of the Teigu.
Weird and strange·Adayus, Water Dragon Poy·Black Marin, Two Great Axes·Belvak, March of the Dead·Eight Rooms...
Most of the Teigu in the photos have been seen by Annan before, not just before, but also in previous lives.
"The consequences of this unbundling are quite serious."
Annan complained in his heart.
"If it was three or four years ago, I might have been excited for a few days when I saw Teigu. Unfortunately, I am already twenty-two. A man cannot act like a child after he is twenty."
Esdeath looked at the Navy's report and frowned slightly.
"The power of these Teigu is not very strong. If we go by the evaluation in the report, the one who controls the sea water is already the strongest among the Teigu users."
She closed the report and shook her head.
"I have absolutely no interest in the weapons of my defeated enemy."
"And they are all scattered on the sea. It is too difficult to find them. If I deliberately search for them... I might as well go to the office to sort out the files."
"Don't worry about that." He smiled and looked at Esdeath who looked reluctant.
"The scientific force is responsible for this mission, you are just the executors."
"And the people from the scientific force said they would use scientific methods and not just aimlessly search."
"Then I'm relieved." Esdeath nodded.
"I accept this task."
"For information on how to collect Teigu, contact Porusalino, who is the commander-in-chief of the Naval Science Force." Crane added.
"Can I regret it? I think I should go back and organize the files."
Esdeath suddenly felt tired.
"Don't be so frustrated, he doesn't have the ability to find the Teigu." Crane said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll call and ask first. Let's make a deal first. If the old man throws all the work to me again, then I won't do it."
Esdeath turned on the phone on her wrist and dialed Kizaru's number.
"Polo, Polo, Polo, Polo..."
"Polo, Polo, Polo, Polo..."
……
The phone finally got through after ringing for a long time.
"Old man, I have told you so many times that the black phone bug you have is for eavesdropping! Not for making phone calls!"
The voice of a person who sounds very tight-lipped appeared first on Phone Bug.
"This is the communication phone bug."
"Oh~ So that's it." The phone bug turned into a vulgar face.
"Moxi Moxi, can you hear me?"
"You can hear it, it's me, old man." Esdeath said.
"Oh~ It's Esdeath-chan. What's wrong? Do you think there are too many files? If you really can't bear it, you can ask Annan to help~"
"Can you please stop mentioning the documents?"
Esdeath said helplessly.
"Old man, Marshal of the Warring States Period asked Annan and I to do the task of collecting Teigu. Are you responsible for this task?"
“I took on another mission so quickly, and I’m very energetic~”
The phone bug's mouth curled up in a magical arc, "Young people today are so scary."
"You haven't answered my question yet, old man." Esdeath has become completely accustomed to Kizaru's tone, "This will determine whether I accept this task."
"It's so exaggerated, so I have to be more serious." The tone of the phone bug was a little more steady than before.
"The person on the phone is the Navy in charge of this collection mission. Please explain."
Kizaru's voice disappeared, and the phone bug returned to its original appearance, but stuck out its tongue again:
"Baruster Esdeath, August Annan, it turns out you are responsible for this mission."
"Yeah."
Esdeath stared at the phone bug with its big tongue hanging out.
"Do you know us?"
"It doesn't matter if we don't know each other." Phone Bug chuckled.
"You made such a big fuss in the Kingdom of Duolun, and you even ate those two defective Devil Fruits... It's not convenient to tell you over the phone. You should go to the headquarters' scientific force station. I will explain it to you in detail then." Vegapunk hang up the phone bug.
"Flawed Devil Fruit?" Esdeath and Annan looked at each other.
"Hahahaha, it seems that Vegapunk thinks we are outsiders." Garp hugged the senbei and laughed.
"Although he is the squad leader of the Navy's special science class, the Navy is also an organization directly under the World Government. It is normal to distrust the World Government and also distrust us."
He sighed, "His research is about to reach that point, and I don't know how the world government will treat him."
"Grandma He, if you can't speak, don't be a Riddler." Annan smiled, "It makes people's hearts tickle."
"You little brat." He scolded.
"I will ask someone to take you to the scientific force's station. Go now."
