Chapter seven hundred and twelve unexpected enemies(1/2)
Tudon, outside the arms warehouse, three CP0 agents dressed in white suits looked at the situation inside the warehouse with solemn expressions.
There were corpses lying everywhere in the warehouse, but there was no tragic situation like a river of blood. The fallen corpses included members of the Beasts Pirates and prisoners who were dressed in the same manner.
There were no open wounds on their bodies. Looking at their twisted faces and palette-like skin, the three of them realized that these people had most likely been poisoned.
Among the Beast Pirates, Plague Quinn happens to be very good at this, but this kind of poisoning that does not distinguish between friend and foe surprised even the CP0 agent, who is always known for his ruthlessness and cruelty.
Even CP0, who has no bottom line, actually has a bottom line, which is to complete the task. In order to complete the task, they can do anything, even abandoning their colleagues.
Or when colleagues were kidnapped, they were eliminated together with their colleagues and enemies. However, the scene in front of them was obviously not that. It was a pure massacre. The battle here had just begun and was ended by the poisonous epidemic.
If those members of the Beast Pirates follow normal action logic, most of them would not need to die, but at this time, they have all turned into petri dishes for the virus.
This situation is not a good thing for a few of them. After all, Quinn, who does not distinguish between friend and foe, may not hold back on CP0 like them. If not, maybe, he just won't hold back.
Quinn should have also learned about the battle situation on Kaido's side. After all, such a battle does not need to be witnessed with one's own eyes or broadcast on video. From such a long distance, one can easily feel the extraordinary situation of the battle.
The escalation of Kaido's battles seems to be a constant explosion of his hidden power, but with Quinn's experience of following Kaido for so many years, he must know that this is not the normal Kaido.
Not to mention Quinn, even a few of them felt that Kaido had no intention of winning this battle alive.
I just don’t know how loyal Quinn is to Kaido.
If Quinn is die-hardly loyal to Kaido, then he might leave with him, or even take everything he can with him and leave with Kaido.
Whether it's people or objects, Quinn is very likely to regard them as Kaido's burial objects, although their goal is to get rid of the arms here.
But they don't want to borrow Quinn's hand. After all, it is risky to rely on others. What if Quinn's loyalty to Kaido is not as they expected?
What if Quinn just wants to make a big splash and then quietly leave? What if Quinn backs down at the last moment?
Therefore, if these arms are to be destroyed, they can only be destroyed by their CP0. However, the order from Marie Joa has not been issued yet, which makes Coleman unable to make up his mind to take action.
Watching the sun set again, Mahar looked at Coleman and asked, "Aren't you going to take action? Maybe night is our best chance?"
Upon hearing Maha's question, Coleman subconsciously reached for the pocket where the telephone bug was placed, wanting to ask for instructions, but stopped before it could touch him.
After all, the Navy would not give him a chance to communicate with Mary Joa, so now he can only pray that Stussy is a trustworthy CP0 agent.
However, they must also make plans in case Stussy fails to convey the information smoothly. Coleman's paused hand touched his mask.
As if he was making sure that the mask was worn securely, and as if he was making up his mind, he immediately said: "Before dawn, if there are no more orders, we will take action."
"Bulu Bulu~"
Just after Coleman gave the order, before the other two people responded, the phone bug on Coleman suddenly rang, and the bodies of several people tensed up instantly.
Coleman quickly took out the phone bug and connected it, and the phone bug in his hand quickly transformed into the face of an old star with a long beard. The old star said: "The information has been received, and the navy must not be allowed to obtain this batch of arms.
.
I give you the highest freedom of action, but you must be responsible for your actions. As long as you ensure that the arms do not fall into the hands of the navy, you can take any action, even destroying the arms."
"Yes! Lord Wulaoxing."
Coleman quickly saluted, even though he knew that the phone bugs at Wulaoxing would most likely not see him salute, but he still did it.
After Coleman answered, the caller was quickly hung up without saying anything more.
At this time, in the windless zone, the long-bearded old star put down the phone bug with a heavy face, looked at Stussy who was also very solemn at the side, and said: "Is the information on Marine Fando confirmed?"
"It's confirmed, there are only a few rotating naval forces left, and some elderly veterans. As for the garrisoned detachment, they have been gradually transferred to the new world in the past month.
And yesterday, Warring States, Garp, and Zefa also brought more than 60,000 recruits across the Red Earth Continent and arrived in the New World. They are now scattered among the 25 branches in the New World, seeming to be waiting for some order."
Stussy answered quickly. She had been collecting intelligence for the past day. Wulaoxing also went through a long discussion before finally making up its mind.
Hearing this, Naosu Laoxing nodded silently. After a while, he asked: "Stucy, what do you think of Lu Qi?"
Hearing this question, Stussy's eyelids twitched and she did not dare to answer the question.
After all, she is still Lu Qi's subordinate. How can a subordinate evaluate Lu Qi easily? What's more, the attitude of the five old stars towards Lu Qi is not clear yet.
Although Lu Qi was not only seriously injured and on the verge of death due to recent events, but even his full strength was handed over to the hands of the Five Old Stars. His future was dark.
But what puzzled Stusy the most was that Wulaoxing never really convicted Lu Qi. This ambiguous attitude made Stusy, an old agent, unpredictable.
Without knowing Wulao Xing's attitude, Stussy did not dare to answer this question easily. It would be fine if her answer was consistent with Wulao Xing's opinion, but at most it would be a violation of etiquette.
But if her opinions are contrary to those of the Five Old Stars, then it will be very serious. She is very likely to be regarded by the Five Old Stars as someone who is not suitable for the world government. No matter how powerful this kind of person is, she is still a hidden danger to the world government.
Naosu Laoxing looked at Stussy's troubled expression and said, "Don't worry, just say it. Regarding Lu Qi's opinion, even the five of us have not yet made a final decision.
You are also a member of CP0. Maybe your views on Lu Qi can bring us a different perspective and inspiration. Let’s just treat it as a private conversation.”
Hearing Naosu Laoxing say this, Stussy knew that she couldn't answer, but Stussy's views on Lu Qi were also extremely complex. After thinking about it for a while, she said:
"Lucci does not look like a CP0 agent. But past experience has proven that CP0 is unable to limit the uncontrolled development of the navy, let alone resist the rise of the revolutionary army.
Perhaps, when you chose Lu Qi to be the commander of CP0, you also wanted to see if he could lead CP0 out of the current predicament in a unique way?"
"There's no need to worry about what we think, just say what you think."
Naosu Laoxing shook his head and avoided Stussy's question. Stussy nodded and continued: "Since the reconstruction of CP0 is a foregone conclusion, we might as well let Lu Qi try again.
Maybe he is not suitable to lead the past and present CP0, but maybe he can lead the future CP0 well?
What's more, the Tianlong people don't have much objection to Lu Qi's various mistakes. When I was collecting intelligence yesterday, I also heard some Tianlong people say, "
Stussy paused, collected his thoughts, and then said: "Among CP0, perhaps Rob Lucci is the only one who is loyal to the Tianlong people.
Maybe someone is deliberately guiding this view of the Tianlong people, but we have to admit that many of Lu Qi's mistakes did not come from him, but from the disasters left by the history of CP0."
Naosu Laoxing nodded and said: "However, if you are unable to lead the old team to become better, isn't it the incompetence of the new commander?"
"Indeed." Stussy first agreed, and then said: "But it's not absolutely right? Just like Coleman and others, their disobedience was doomed from the moment Lu Qi became the commander.
There are many people similar to him in CP0. In just one year, Lu Qi has almost straightened out the entire CP0 network and eliminated some people who may harm CP0.
But he only has a short period of time. At present, while ensuring that CP0 can continue to operate as usual, there are only four pests that are most likely to be doomed before he came to power.
This also shows that there is no problem with his ability."
Among the four people Stussy mentioned, in addition to the three Colemans, there was another one, Morant, who killed the Celestial Dragons and was eventually killed by Lu Qi.
The reason why Stussy said good things to Lucci is simple, because compared to Lucci, Coleman is more like the CP0 agent who harmed the World Government.
As for Coleman's statement that Lucci was very likely to betray the World Government, Stussy had reservations. After all, no matter how you looked at it, it was Coleman, not Lucci, who harmed the interests of the World Government.
Of course, Stussy had to admit that the reason why she chose to support Lu Qi was that the opinions of the Tianlong people were also very important.
The World Government, or the Five Old Stars, will not care about the views or opinions of one or two Dracos. As a CP0 for so many years, Stussy knows the attitude of the Five Old Stars towards individual Dracos.
The Five Old Stars will give face to every Celestial Dragon, but only if these Celestial Dragons do not embarrass the World Government. But if the World Government dares to embarrass the World Government, then there is no need for such individual Celestial Dragons to survive.
However, if it is the consensus of the Tianlong people, the Five Old Stars will still consider it carefully and respect it. Just like this incident of Saint Charlos, the Five Old Stars handled it with an extremely positive attitude.
Although they had no way to arrest the "murderer" Skyler and deal with the navy severely as promised to the Draco, they did their best to make all the Draco feel that they had accomplished this.
Even if it is to deceive all Tianlong people
Of course, this is also the helplessness of the Five Old Stars. After all, if they really have the ability to deal with Skyler, they are willing to do so in order to appease the anger of all the Tianlong people.
But the problem is that the Five Old Stars simply can't do it, and even if they can't deal with Skyler, the Five Old Stars still try their best to punish the Navy. If nothing else, the Navy's status in the world conference has been directly reduced to the bottom.
The Navy does not have a share in key resources. Even regarding military expenditures, Wulaoxing has never made a commitment. There is a high probability that the Navy will not be able to obtain military expenditures from the World Government for next year.
Even if the world government gives it, it will only allocate military expenditures at a minimum amount to ensure that the navy does not starve to death.
Of course, the consequence of this would be that the navy would openly betray the navy. Today's navy does not need to wait for the military expenditures allocated by the World Government next year.
However, although accidents occur frequently, it also shows that the Five Old Stars respect the opinions of the Tianlong people.
Morant's behavior this time was very bad. At first, the Tianlong people clamored to make all CP0 agents, the Guards, the Knights of God, and even the Five Old Stars apologize.
However, under the guidance of a fat official named McKinsey, the trend among the Tianlong people gradually changed and they became rational.
Stussy didn’t believe that the Five Old Stars were not aware of this change, but they were just happy to see it happen. After all, McKinsey’s actions were to minimize the internal impact of this incident.
Of course, McKinsey's persuasion prevented the Tianlong people from holding high the banner of abolishing the Five Old Stars, which was also an important reason why the Five Old Stars condoned McKinsey's lobbying work.
After all, McKinsey's lobbying was mixed with selfish motives. For example, Lu Qi, who was a sinner at the beginning, was gradually whitewashed and became the only agent in CP0 who was still loyal to the Tianlong people.
The Tianlong people even started to write a letter suggesting that Lu Qi should not be punished. After all, he was the person who worked the hardest and had the best effect in the Morant incident.
Morant, who the Knights of God had been unable to capture for a long time, was killed by Lu Qi with one blow, and then forced out other people sent by the Revolutionary Army. Although during the pursuit, Lu Qi was unfortunately seriously injured and lost the mission target.
But what about the others? After the Revolutionary Army escaped, the Knights of God did not even pursue them. Other CP agents and escorts also searched ineffectively like headless flies.
In comparison, Lu Qi, who almost sacrificed his life, is the one who deserves to be forgiven and given the chance.
Stusy also knew why McKinsey had such selfish motives. The reason was simple. Lucci and his colleagues were acquired by McKinsey.
When Lu Qi and others were wanted by CP9, it was McKinsey who persuaded the Tianlong people to give Lu Qi and others a way out. Lu Qi lived up to expectations and turned from a CP9 loser into a CP0 agent.
Regardless of McKinsey's purpose in helping Lu Qi, it is impossible to see him executed at this time. McKinsey also did an excellent job of binding his selfishness with official business.
The Five Old Stars want to stop him from lobbying the Celestial Dragons to forgive Lu Qi, which is equivalent to stopping McKinsey from lobbying the Celestial Dragons to forgive the World Government.
However, perhaps even the five old stars did not expect that McKinsey would have such a high influence among the Tianlong people. Not only did they help Lu Qi escape the crime, but they even won the victory to make the five old stars reconsider Lu Qi's future.
Opportunity.
Stussy didn't believe that if there were no other factors, Naosu Laoxing would say that the five of them were still undecided about Lu Qi.
