"To be so young and need to deal with those legendary monster-like pirates? It's really scary~"
In the spacious and bright office of the headquarters, a strange and obscene tone suddenly sounded.
Candidate for General of the Headquarters: Kizaru Porusalino!
Kizaru held a thin paper document in his hand, which described a highly confidential plan called "Undercover Shichibukai". The only people aware of the plan included the marshal of the headquarters, two generals, and the headquarters' chief staff officer.
And him!
The participant in this secret plan is a new recruit in the navy, and he is also a monk halfway through.
Kizaru scanned the contents of the plan in his hand repeatedly, his eyes couldn't stop sliding towards Teacher Zefa beside him, and he tried to explore in his words.
"Could it be that this poor recruit suffered from workplace rejection within the Navy?"
"Don't make unnecessary guesses! Porusalino!"
Zefa shouted softly, he never had a good look towards Porusalino.
If it weren't for the fact that Kizaru was currently receiving several secret special forces including the "Naval Science Force", "SWORD Force", etc. (mentioned in Chapter 17)
Zefa will not come to you even if you say nothing.
"Sending Navy recruit Cui Ze Fite as the executor of the 'Undercover Shichibukai Plan' is just because his strength and identity are very suitable. There is no other reason!"
Strength and identity?
Kizaru's expression became quite strange.
Teacher Zefa, are you sure you are describing a new recruit?
"Ah, yes, yes."
Kizaru agreed casually, as if he really recognized Zefa's statement.
"Everything the general said is definitely right."
This guy!
Such a sinister tone made Zefa's forehead sprout with several veins, and his casserole-like iron fist couldn't help but tighten.
Fortunately, a knock on the door broke the awkward atmosphere in the office in time.
"Come in!"
Following Zefa's words, Cui Ze, wearing a navy uniform, pushed open the door and entered.
"Meet General Zefa——"
Cui Ze subconsciously raised his palms and performed a naval salute, but then he saw another person sitting in the main seat of the office, and his eyes widened unconsciously.
"I've seen General Kizaru!"
Cui Ze didn't hesitate to speak because the scene in front of him was so strange.
On the way to the headquarters building, Cui Ze thought more than once about the reason why Zefa came to the door.
Is it because the elite training camp is over and the final military rank positions have been arranged?
Or are you planning to give out devil fruits because the teaching of Beast Breath has achieved initial results?
Cui Ze thought about it a lot, but he never expected the scene in front of him.
One of the secrets known to everyone in the Navy Headquarters.
Zefa and Kizaru are at odds!
But at this moment, these two people were actually sitting in the same office without incident!
And it’s just the two of them!
Didn't you start fighting just now...
"General Kizaru!!"
Zefa blew his beard and stared, why didn't he see Cui Ze's "exquisite" method in wearing a high hat before?
In comparison, Kizaru's expression seemed...well...much more vulgar.
"Oh, what a general, I'm not one yet~"
On the surface, he said this, but in fact, Kizaru's old face almost turned into a brilliant chrysanthemum when he smiled.
Cui Ze immediately realized that the "red, yellow and green" trio at this stage had not yet succeeded in taking over.
He just said the wrong thing!
Fortunately, it is not difficult to make up for it.
"When I was on the training ship, I heard from other companions that Lieutenant General Kizaru has become a candidate for the general of the headquarters. So..."
"The candidate for general is not really a general. Only when the position of general becomes vacant can he be replaced."
Kizaru rubbed his chin and glanced at Zefa aside.
"Did I remember this rule correctly, Teacher Zefa?"
"Don't let the sailors see the joke!" Zefa said coldly.
Not to be outdone, Kizaru said, "But I think this is just introducing navy rules to the soldiers~"
The two people's eyes collided in mid-air, almost causing sparks to appear.
Cui Ze transformed into a wooden man, his eyes never squinted, and he did not participate in the fairy-tale situation between Kizaru and Zefa at all.
General is vacant!
What this means is very easy to understand.
If Zefa dies, Kizaru will be able to take over.
Acting as an ape, you want to go to heaven!
In the end, the mature and prudent Zefa took a step back.
After all, the discord between the top navy generals was exposed in front of the grassroots sailors...
This behavior is too stupid!
"Cui Ze, I'm here to see you now. I want to send you a mission!"
Zefa picked up a document on the table and threw it towards Cui Ze from afar.
When the document flew to Cui Ze, it no longer had any extra momentum and fell into his hand like a light feather.
This kind of power control is simply breathtaking.
Cui Ze lowered his head, glanced at the confidential documents in his hand, and soon raised his head in shock.
"Me, go undercover and become a pirate?!"
The task Zefa gave Cui Ze naturally had some modifications.
It was impossible for him to tell Cui Ze something like "You want to become a Shichibukai" as soon as he came up.
Becoming a Shichibukai is the ultimate goal of Cui Ze's undercover plan!
Instead of the initial mission!
"That's right."
Zefa nodded and explained the reason.
"After the Great Pirate Age began, pirates emerged one after another from all over the world. This year, the 'Marie Joa Attack' happened again. The World Government overstepped the navy and formulated the King's Shichibukai Plan, which once again encouraged the arrogance of pirates.
arrogance!
"In order to curb the crazy growth of pirates, the Navy Headquarters specially formulated this undercover pirate plan, intending to dismantle the pirates from within! And after screening, you are the most suitable undercover candidate."
Cui Ze wondered: "Where am I suitable?"
And Cui Ze's goal has always been to hug the Navy's thigh.
Even though he has been promoted to C-level and his self-protection ability has been greatly improved, there is still a long journey before he is "completely safe".
There is no place to sit in the warm, comfortable, safe and comfortable naval office.
Go out to eat and sleep in the open air and become a wandering pirate...
This gap is too big!
"When it comes to strength, you are the number one in the elite training camp. Even compared to the captains of the Navy Headquarters, you are not far behind."
Zefa cited two of the most distinctive features.
"Speaking of reputation, you were once defeated by Kaido, and you were not killed at the same time. The name "The Emperor's Defeated General" is very prestigious among pirates!"
Zefa also omitted another reason here.
That’s identity!
Cuize is the fallen prince of the Kingdom of Tobias.
The intelligence information about joining the navy is basically unknown to the outside world.
Compared with other navies, Cui Ze went undercover to become a pirate and has the inherent advantage of keeping his identity secret!
There are many examples of little princes who became pirates after being in trouble in this sea.
Cui Ze thought about it and finally found a tricky angle to refute Zefa's statement.
"But being an undercover agent... I'm worried about my identity being exposed, especially since I also have a navy colleague who is known as 'the most tight-lipped person in the world.'"
"There is no need to worry about this~"
Kizaru, who had been watching the show, suddenly interrupted.
"I like that kid Zhan Momomaru very much, and I plan to send him to another secret force - the Naval Scientific Corps. That kid's mentality is not suitable for dealing with people outside."
The most loose "holes" have also been filled.
Cui Ze fell silent.
The most troublesome part of trying to hold on to the Navy's thighs finally appeared, and that was the order from above!
Cui Ze kept thinking about when he would receive orders from above that did not meet his own needs.
I didn't expect this day to come so quickly...
Zefa saw Cui Ze fell into silence and asked softly: "How about it? Do you agree to carry out this undercover plan?"
agree?
disagree?
Cui Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
What’s the point of talking about this now?
"I don't have any problem personally."
Cui Ze said impartially.
"I just don't know how much support this department can provide to my undercover operation?"
