Now three masked men of different appearances are discussing their next actions.

“He didn’t send back any message before he died. This doesn’t make sense.” CP0 encountered many accidents while on missions, but according to their training, if it is a situation where death is inevitable, then they have to find a way to send the information back.

“Wano Country is now occupied by Kaido. If they really reached an agreement, why did he die there? If it was another enemy, then the Beasts would not sit idly by.

No pirate would tolerate someone taking action on their territory, so it’s not like any news could get out. I think it’s more likely that Kaido took action.”

“Do you have the contact information of that Kurozumi Orochi? Maybe he would know why.”

“No, that was a one-sided connection. The only Den Den Mushi that could connect to Wano Country was on him.”

Now the World Government cannot choose to attack Wano Country. They have not done so in the past few hundred years. Although people have died, a CP0 will not make the World Government angry.

However, they did not dare to enter the unknown country of Wano rashly. Finally, with the purpose of exploration, they called the CP0 agent, and unexpectedly, the call was picked up.

“Who are you, the owner of Den Den Mushi?”

“He’s dead. Wano Country is not a place you should get involved in. How dare you believe the words of that idiot Kurozumi Orochi?”

Chapter 166 Den Den Mushi who surrendered to the enemy

The communication process was very brief, but it made them understand each other’s identity – the Beast Pirates.

“His attitude was very hostile and it was difficult to make contact.”

“We have to contact them even if it’s difficult. The people above us won’t give up the seastone trade. We need seastone products and weapons unique to Wano Country. Buying them on the black market is not only expensive, but the quality and quantity cannot be guaranteed. We need a stable supplier.”

“The person he had contacted before was Kurozumi Orochi. Did we misjudge the internal relations of Wano Country? The relationship between the Beasts Pirates and Kurozumi Orochi doesn’t seem to be that friendly.”

“With that guy’s personality…it’s not surprising that he angered those pirates.”

“Since they answered the phone, there is still a possibility of negotiation. Let’s sort out their information first.”

After a brief discussion, they thought that they had misunderstood the focus of contact with Wano Country. Previously, they focused on Kurozumi Orochi, but now it seems that Kurozumi Orochi has no status in Wano Country, and the beasts are the dominant ones.

In this case, we have to re-plan.

……

Onigashima, after the call was hung up, many people showed puzzled expressions. Originally, they didn’t want to answer the call at all, but Arceus found a pirate to convey this information, giving them a feeling that they could communicate.

The purpose of all this is not for anything else, but to make this Den Den Mushi remember the Den Den Mushi of CP0 on the opposite side.

“Remember that companion just now?”

After hanging up the phone, Arceus was communicating with the Den Den Mushi, which almost lost half its life after being thrown down by the agent. Although it was picked up, under normal circumstances, this kind of Den Den Mushi cannot be repaired.

The injured snail would only be abandoned and slowly die, but Arceus discovered a new use for the snail, so he turned it into an ammonite and replenished its vitality with drops of life.

The purpose is to eavesdrop. There is a kind of black Den Den Mushi among the Den Den Mushi. They like to exchange information with their own kind, so they are used as eavesdropping devices.

There are countless Den Den Mushi in the world. If you want to eavesdrop accurately, you need the phone number of that Den Den Mushi. The incoming phone call provides this opportunity.

Ammon has already memorized this number. Den Den Mushi knows how to be grateful. The Den Den Mushi that was rescued by Buggy during the Battle of Marineford was so moved that Buggy burst into tears.

This Den Den Mushi also had the same mentality. It was willing to be used as a communication tool just to find a master who would provide it with food and shelter. The agent did something very excessive to it, and Bai Shou saved it, so it wanted to repay them and took on this task.

“remember”

Its mission is to remember the Den Den Mushi of that frequency band and communicate with it. The Den Den Mushi with its intelligence level upgraded has since become the eavesdropping specialist of the Beasts Pirates, specializing in stealing some information of the World Government.

As for why it can speak, Den Den Mushi can imitate human voices and understand human language. After being upgraded by turning into Ammonite, it can speak human language even when it is not making a phone call.

He did this to take precautions. The Lunalia tribe and the current World Government have a blood feud. There is no hostility now but the time has not come yet. Since there will be hostility sooner or later, of course preparations must be made early.

“Find a reliable person. His task from now on is to raise it. Do you understand?”

So Quinn became the keeper of this new Den Den Mushi. He already had dozens of snails from Wano Country, so it wouldn’t be difficult to get another one.

“Okay, there’s nothing else to do, let’s just do what needs to be done. By the way, how are the fireworks arrangements going?”

“We’re ready and can start anytime, but it’s better to wait until it’s a little darker.”

……

Although it is not yet time for Wano Country to produce fireworks, there are now many weapons factories in Wano Country. Some gunpowder was taken from the materials used to make weapons, and after some improvements, there will be no problem with the raw materials for fireworks.

Almost all the fireworks craftsmen in the Tuwan area were brought to a factory, and their task was to produce qualified fireworks.

Each firework was labeled with a name, and the person who brought them to the factory had said that the person who made the most satisfactory firework would receive an additional reward of 100 gold.

In this situation, everyone put in their best efforts and used their best skills.

Wano Country is destined to be extremely lively tonight. As the moon rises in the sky, the prepared fireworks are lit one after another on an open space.

The fireworks in the sky scared Yamato at first, but as the metal powder began to burn in the air, the gorgeous patterns captured her full interest.

The same goes for Jack and Maria. Although the fireworks were prepared for Yamato, not only the three children on Onigashima, but people from the entire Wano Country saw this grand fireworks.

In order to get the so-called reward, the craftsmen tried their best. The bigger the fireworks, the greater the effect, which required increasing the amount of gunpowder, and thus the flying height would be higher. Even Shimei, who was the farthest away, could vaguely see what was happening on Onigashima.

“Mom, why are there fireworks today?”

“Maybe some important person is having a birthday.”

“Can I celebrate my birthday like this?”

“No, Kentaro, we don’t have that ability.”

In the closed country of Wano, fireworks are actually controlled items. They are only released by the shogun and daimyo organizations at specific times each year. They can usually only be seen during the Fire Festival, New Year, or the day the shogun ascends the throne.

Normally, it can only be seen twice a year at most. They couldn’t imagine that this grand fireworks show was organized by the Beasts Pirates just because Yamato was interested in it.

A banquet was also held on Onigashima, with Quinn holding a microphone and acting as the host of the banquet.

The people on Onigashima were partying, while ordinary people in Wano Country were enjoying the fireworks. The daimyos from other villages did not feel much about this, but there were two groups of people who had no interest in enjoying the fireworks.

One of them is Kurozumi Orochi, who had just woken up after being stunned by Kaido’s domineering color. When he heard the fireworks exploding, he thought it was the Beasts Pirates who broke in. He was so frightened that he naturally had no mood to appreciate the fireworks. He also doubted whether it was right to let the Beasts come here.

In Kuri, Kozuki Oden’s retainers also had no interest in watching the fireworks, and it was all because of Kin’emon.

Although he was redeemed, he was badly injured, not only physically but also mentally. At first he was even afraid to sleep, and it took him many days to recuperate before he could fall asleep like a normal person.

But today’s fireworks frightened him again, and his condition deteriorated again…

Chapter 167 I Think There’s a Traitor Among Us

The Den Den Mushi that joined the Beasts, also known as Ammonite, worked very hard, but Quinn was a little unhappy about its hard work.

The specific thing is that after memorizing the phone number of the Den Den Mushi, in order to repay the life-saving grace, it also wrote down two or three more numbers based on the contact signal of the Den Den Mushi.

Den Den Mushi is a huge group of snails, so it is not surprising that they are related to each other. After all, the same batch of Den Den Mushi may be made from the same nest of snails.

It really doesn’t know which call is more important, but it can understand human language, so it knows what honorifics are.

If you want to get information from your companions, you have to say nice things to them, so the number of numbers it can remember is limited.

In order to obtain more crucial intelligence, it specifically memorizes those companions who often use honorifics.

The life of Den Den Mushi is very comfortable. Except for those surveillance Den Den Mushi who need to take shifts, ordinary Den Den Mushi spend most of their time resting when there are no calls.

So when the phone rings, no matter day or night, they can convey the message immediately. Den Den Mushi cannot write, and most of the time they can only relay their companions’ words instead of remembering them in their heads.

So when he receives a message, he will remind the people nearby to come and record it. It’s okay during the day, he just needs to make the sound as usual, but it doesn’t work at night.

So Quinn would often be woken up by Ammonite’s water gun while he was sleeping.

On this quiet night, he encountered the same thing as before. A stream of water sprayed towards his face, waking him up from his sleep.

“These bastards…can’t they just call during the day!”

In fact, it was daytime, but it was daytime in Marijoa. Officials contacted the outside world at their own times. Even CP0 could not guarantee that they would only have missions during the day, let alone their kind of eavesdropping.

“No, I have to ask Brother Kaido to replace the night shift, otherwise my hair will not be able to bear it.”

After recording the information eavesdropped by the Ammonite in a small notebook and looking at the moon in the night sky, Quinn thought he needed an assistant.

“You’re already bald, don’t worry about the details.”

“I shaved it myself! You are just a snail, do you know how to appreciate the beauty of human beings? By the way, can’t you write the message yourself?”

“I can’t write, and I’m just repaying my benefactor.” After saying this, he retracted into his shell. A necessary skill for a Den Den Mushi is to fall asleep as soon as you close your eyes. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Den Den Mushi to ensure that it is always energetic.

Although many of the eavesdropped messages were of no value to the beasts, they were related to their situations.

[Contact the Beasts Pirates to obtain the trade price. ]

However, because CP0 died in unclear circumstances, the people who came after him did not dare to rashly enter Wano Country, and they mainly tried to communicate by phone.

Although Kaido always answers the phone, he never agrees, giving the World Government a feeling that they can make a deal but cannot meet the other party’s psychological needs.

Even using several animal-type devil fruits as equivalents failed to reach a deal, so the CP0 team was very troubled, and the three of them sat together and talked about the matter of the beasts.

“What on earth does that guy want?”

“Forget it. The stuff flowing out of the black market is enough. Instead of contacting Kaido, it would be better to find a few more merchants in the underground world.”

“Their goods are still from Kaido, and they are not authentic. If Kaido cuts off the supply, there will be nothing we can do. Do we have to use that stuff?”

It is common to hear that the Beasts Pirates are collecting stone tablets in the black market, and the World Government does have them too, but it is not convenient for them to be directly used as trading items.

“It’s not easy. Although I don’t have any clues, Vegapunk hasn’t given up yet. As for the collection of the Celestial Dragons…”

“Let’s wait and see. That guy has so much business that he can’t possibly give up the profits he’s made. I’m afraid the price isn’t right yet. But I think something is wrong.

Why do I feel like we have no secrets at all every time we talk, and he seems to know our bottom line?”

Every negotiation failed to produce any results. What they could offer was always far from Kaido’s psychological price. If the news had not come directly from the headquarters, he would have suspected the existence of an undercover agent.

As for the white Den Den Mushi that can prevent eavesdropping, that kind of Den Den Mushi is too rare and not everyone can equip it. Only those who are on truly top-secret missions will be equipped with that kind of Den Den Mushi.

Their qualifications for this mission have not yet reached that level.

“What about those failed products from Punk Hazard? Isn’t Kaido recruiting people? He might be interested in those giants.”

“You mean those things that aim to revive ancient giants, but end up turning them into something neither human nor ghost, and can basically only scare people besides being edible?”

“It’s a failed product anyway, so if we can trade it, it’s good enough.”

That was Punk Hazard’s experimental plan, aimed at creating warriors of the ancient giant race, but they were not completely successful. The monsters they created had low IQs and it was difficult to meet their needs.

In this world, having a huge body is not enough. Many strong people have ways to deal with those giants. If you are not smart enough, you will be a sitting duck on the battlefield.

Although those giants were created larger than ordinary giants, their intelligence was much lower and their appetite was extremely large. Using them was far less effective than training a few lieutenant generals of the giants.

So it was identified as a failed product and frozen, but now it has been picked up and is planned to be recycled.

They will not trade truly useful war weapons.

These are the Barbarian Tyrants of the Beasts Pirates in the original timeline, but apart from clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers and scaring people, they are basically useless.

“We can’t make the decision on those things. We have to report to the higher-ups. Besides, Kaido’s preferences are too weird. Haven’t the people sent to investigate made any moves yet?”

“It should be soon. They seem to have sneaked into Kaido’s territory not long ago.”

This territory does not refer to Wano Country. The Beasts Pirates also have many territories in the outside world. Those territories do not have the natural barriers like Wano Country, so it is not difficult to sneak in.

They wanted to get information indirectly from somewhere, and they also had a previous mission, which was to collect information on the Beasts Pirates.

The World Government’s spy organization has more than one CP0. Small missions like this are handled by other departments. For example, at this moment, a pirate ship that just arrived in the New World is heading towards the territory outside the Beast Pirates.

According to their route, they will soon reach the island guarded by Scourge…

Chapter 168: The Combination of Cyborg and Ability Granter

According to convention, pirates who can reach the Sabaody Archipelago alive will be called rising stars among pirates. For many people, it is impossible to go through the first half of the Grand Line.

The pirates with a bounty of over 100 million are called supernovas. They are either extremely powerful or notorious for committing many murders. Because of their great harm, their bounties are increased.

Moreover, these pirates in the first half have another characteristic: they are ignorant of their own abilities. It is difficult to find someone in the New World who has the courage to challenge the already famous pirates.

They knew how powerful those monsters were, and only those who had been at sea for a short time and did not know their place would have the courage to do so.

Especially those supernovas, because of their own bounties, they often have a kind of blind self-confidence, and they will behave irrationally if they are fooled.

Panglin, a member of CP9, codenamed Pangolin, joined the Pumpkin Pirates in the first half of the Grand Line a few months ago.

The captain is the supernova of this issue, Pumpkin Maniac – Cebrolo, a pirate who has a strange obsession with pumpkins. Even the pirate ship looks like a huge pumpkin.

The bounty is 110 million Baileys. The way he infiltrated this pirate group is very simple. He pretended to be an avid pumpkin lover. Now he has gained the trust of Cebrolo.

Not long ago, he received a mission from the organization to find a way to persuade Cebrolo to go to Kaido’s territory to investigate some situations there.
