"more money?"

Stussy's eyes widened slightly.

"That's right."

Carlos spread his hands.

"You must know the Beasts Pirates better than I do. You must give me some visible benefits when performing such a dangerous mission, right?"

Stussy nodded silently, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Okay, I'll appoint you as the squad leader of CP0."

"Not only will you have access to information with confidentiality levels below S-level, but you will also have the right to recruit subordinates."

"If you like, I can send Rob Lucci to assist you in going to Wanokuni to carry out this mission."

"Sounds good, but the fewer people there are, the better."

Carlos knew.

In the future, Lucci would disguise himself as a shipyard worker in Water 7, intending to obtain the Pluton design drawings from Iceburg.

But judging from his years of undercover experience, there was only one word to describe it—amateurish!

Not to mention that for this mission, almost all members of CP9 were mobilized, and they had been lurking for five years but still hadn't completed the mission.

Besides, the shape of the scar on Lucci's back is exactly the same as the flag pattern representing the World Government.

It was written all over his face that he was an undercover agent.

"For this kind of thing, the less people, the better. One more person is more dangerous. I act alone."

"Kaido's ambitions are not small. I heard that they have been recruiting troops and expanding their territory crazily during this period. I think they need a lot of manpower now."

"You should take advantage of this opportunity..."

Carlos shook his head and interrupted.

"You think too simply. The Beasts Pirates are not an ordinary pirate group, and Kaido is not a simple person either."

"Of course, it's not okay for a nobody like me to rush to seek refuge."

"You mean...?"

"The first step is, of course, to become a pirate. At least appear on the Marine's bounty list. As for the bounty, the higher the better."

Stussy was stunned and tapped her white fingers on the table. After thinking for a while, she nodded:

"It's a good idea, but I want to remind you that in order to prevent your identity from being exposed, the fewer people who know about it, the better."

"Your file will be classified as an S-class secret. Apart from me, only the top commander of CP0 and the Five Elders can view it. Even the Marine Marshal has no right to know."

"If you go too far and encounter the Marine's siege, then I can only hope to see you in Impel Down."

Carlos didn't care.

"Since we are going to act, it is natural that it should be more realistic."

"It's better to be cornered. Wouldn't that be more convincing?"

Stussy cast an approving look.

"Did you get into the role so quickly?"

"You are indeed a professional in this regard. It seems that I have chosen the right person."

Carlos continued:

"Don't change the subject."

"To be honest, staying at CP9 is actually quite good. I wouldn't be willing to take on such a difficult task without enough benefits."

"This is a mission where you will die if you are not careful. Shouldn't you also express your feelings?"

Stussy covered her forehead, looking like she had a headache.

Although she was helpless, she also understood that Carlos was the most suitable candidate.

"Okay, what do you want?"

"Anything will do, like Devil Fruits or the ultimate sharp knife. You should have those, right?"

Stussy couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Don't even think about it. There are only twelve Supreme Grade swords in the world. Let's not talk about whether there are any. Even if there were, you wouldn't be able to use a famous sword of this level."

"As for Devil Fruits, we still have a few Paramecia in CP0, but you have already eaten one. Are you not afraid of death if you still eat another?"

"Well, how about I give you an unused luxury manor on Island No. 1 of the Sabaody Archipelago as a gift?"

"I don't have a wife or children, and I'm out on missions all year round. I'm afraid I can only enjoy it after I retire."

"It's necessary to spend money when you go out. Let's be more practical. This manor plus 500 million beri."

...

After some haggling, Carlos left the World Government office building satisfied.

Touching the property deed and the check for 500 million beri in his arms, he couldn't help but sigh:

"CP0 is really unimaginably rich. I don't know how many people's properties they have seized."

This mission is unlike any other.

Although he has great confidence in his acting skills and psychological quality, it never hurts to be extra prepared.

"System, open the panel."

Carlos said something silently in his mind.

A transparent properties panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

Host: Carlos

Age: 27

Ability: Armed Color (Excellent Level), Swordsmanship (Grandmaster Level), Wisdom and Knowledge (Grandmaster Level), Marine Six Styles (Control Level), Life Return (Proficient Level)

Skill: Deep behind enemy lines, Shark Bullet Technique

Identity: World Government (CP0)

In the past few years, he has continued to receive rewards from the system through undercover work.

Not only did he learn the Marine Six Styles and master-level swordsmanship, but he also learned the two-color Haki and upgraded the Armament Haki from the entry level to proficiency, control, Grandmaster, and reached excellence.

According to Carlos' speculation:

Speaking of Armament Haki alone, he should have reached the level of Katakuri.

In addition, he also gained two very useful skills.

One can summon a big eagle named "Hua Luo," which can help him quickly enter the battlefield or escape.

Another skill comes from the world of Naruto.

By consuming his physical strength, he can instantly create shark-shaped water bombs to attack the enemy. The special thing is that it can absorb the energy of the opponent's attack, making it larger and more powerful.

Thinking of this, Carlos opened the system backpack and checked the items inside.

[Sleep Black Tea]: Drink one cup and you will sleep for ten hours.

[Veritaserum]: Used on a comatose target to make the target reveal all their secrets.

[Extremely realistic disguise mask]: After use, the appearance, form, and voice change into the appearance of the target. Duration: twelve hours.

Carlos thought for a moment and looked into the distance.

"Going to the auction next? Maybe you can get something good."

Sabaody Archipelago is the only way to the New World.

With many Marines, pirates, merchants, and bounty hunters gathered together, it can be called a mixed bag of lawless areas.

Not only is it heavily guarded all year round, but it is also very close to Marine headquarters, which can be reached in less than half a day's journey.

Perhaps it was to serve the superior Celestial Dragons, or perhaps under the temptation of huge benefits.

It is inevitable that a series of shameful activities such as smuggling, slave trade, and the black market have sprung up here.

In the auction house in Sabaody, as long as you have money, you can buy Devil Fruits and everything else.

Thinking of this, Carlos had a smile on his face.

"It's time to make a scene."
