Time passed quietly.
Soon, Adrian gleaned most of the intelligence he wanted from Stussy's account.
He didn't gave her any more chance to speak, casting the Dream Ghost's Sleeping Curse, instantly sending the hesitant and ready-to-make-another-dramatic-plea queen of Pleasure Street into a deep sleep.
With a soft thud, the frail Stussy collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
He didn't immediately wake up Mr Fox to verify Stussy's information. Based on his prior knowledge and the original storyline, Adrian believed that even if Stussy's words had some falsehoods, they weren't many.
Sitting on the sofa, Adrian silently pondered Stussy's words, using them to analyze the strength of the World Government.
"According to Stussy, her own strength is insufficient to be a CP0 captain. Considering her level, those CP0 captains responsible for the safety of the Five Elders should be at least level 90!"
"As for the CP0 Chief and Deputy Chief, they should be at least level 95, possibly even over 100!"
"And that unheard-of 'Army' is also quite formidable..."
"Adding in the Navy's Kong, Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr, the World Government has at least seven top-tier combatants!"
"This excludes the other Devil Fruit users, Dr. Vegapunk with dangerous knowledge, the Five Elders of unknown power, and Imu who sits on the Empty Throne!"
"No wonder the World Government has ruled the seas for 800 years!"
Adrian shook his head, sighing quietly.
Then he used his powers to wake up Mr Fox.
The furry Mr. Fox immediately confessed all the information he had without reservation.
What Mr Fox shared wasn't much more than what Stussy had said, mostly repeating her information.
This confirmed the effectiveness of the "prisoner's dilemma"!
The only thing that piqued Adrian's interest in Mr Fox's account was the existence of "Generals" in the World Government's army.
"Those Generals you mentioned, what level are they?"
Adrian stroked his chin.
Navy Admirals are officially the highest combat power of the World Government and Navy Headquarters, indisputable, excluding Fleet Admirals
So, the strength of these unheard-of "Generals" was quite intriguing.
"Regarding that, I'm not very clear either."
Mr Fox replied honestly.
"CP's scope of work doesn't overlap much with the Army, and our personnel rarely interact. I only know that, like the Navy, the Army has a Headquarters General of the Army and three Headquarters General."
Adrian thought for a moment.
If the General of Army equals a Navy Fleet Admiral, then are the Army Generals equivalent to Navy Admirals?
No.
Navy Vice Admirals' strengths vary too much, with some being exceedingly strong and others too weak.
Without dwelling on this headache topic for too long, Adrian woke Stussy again.
As soon as she awoke, Stussy anxiously looked at Mr Fox.
Noticing her gaze, Mr Fox looked back, and their eyes met with intense sparks flying in the air.
'That man/woman!!'
"Miss Stussy, Mr. Mr Fox." Adrian suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the two CP0 agents.
"Congratulations, both of you. Your testimonies are basically consistent."
Phew! X2
Two obvious sighs of relief sounded simultaneously in the room.
However, White Ghost's next words made their hearts skip a beat again.
Adrian said: "But unfortunately, in this way, I can't tell whether what you are saying is true or false!"
"I dare to guarantee that every word I say is absolutely true!"
"Me too!"
Stussy and Mr Fox said one after another, desperation in their voice.
"It's a pity that your guarantees are not worth half a Beli to me! I think it's enough to just leave one person."
Adrian shook his head and then took out a gold coin from his pocket.
"Now, let's see who the lucky one is!"
With a light sound, the coin flipped over several dozen times in mid-air. Adrian reached out and grabbed the coin, unfolding it in his palm.
"Congratulations, Mr. Fox, the divination shows that you will not show your death face today."
Adrian smiled slightly and tapped his finger, and a semi-illusory white ghost emerged from the void.
Mini Ghost · Withering Heart Piercer!
The next moment, the small white ghost pierced straight through Mr Fox's chest.
With a muffled bang, Mr Fox's chest exploded into a brilliant flower, scattering blood beads everywhere.
The expression of excitement after surviving the disaster was completely frozen on his face, and his body fell to the ground without getting up.
The black fluff on his body grew wildly for a while, and then slowly shrank back into his body, returning to its original ordinary appearance.
"Ms. Stussy, do you enjoy struggling madly on the verge of death?" Adrian looked at the Queen of Pleasure Street playfully.
Stussy's towering chest rose and fell violently for a while, and her exquisite face looked a little dazed at this time.
Just a moment ago, she really thought she would die in the hands of White Ghost!
Adrian casually drew out the 'Hero's Dagger' and threw it towards Stussy, startling the dazed Queen of Pleasure Street.
"Pick up this dagger, Ms. Stussy." Adrian said in a relaxed tone, and at the same time he picked up two Den Den Mushi, one on each side.
By the way, this image Den Den Mushi were already in this room. As expected of a luxury hotel in Pleasure Street, they even have cameras!
Director Adrian raised both image Den Den Mushi at the same time and smiled, giving instructions.
"Then, insert it into the wound on Mr. Fox's chest."
As the queen of Pleasure Street, Stussy's value was obviously far above that of the unknown CP0 member, Mr. Fox.
Killing her sister, Linlin, to prove her loyalty was not only impossible, but it would also be a waste to see this flower get crushed.
Why not try to see if Stussy can be used by him, even if it is coercion?
After all, Adrian was still very interested in the terrifying information-gathering capabilities hidden behind Pleasure Street!
Unfortunately, the more open and bold coercion method could not be written here. Otherwise, Adrian would have to publish a few volumes of the special photo album of Pleasure Street!
