CH 53: Stussy's Choice.
The Holy Land Mariejois.
One of the Elder who always carried the sword, looked at the newspaper and all the pictures that were taken, suddenly he saw Stussy in one of the pictures, and his pupils dilated.
While he was looking at the pictures the other four were also reading the newspaper.
"Let's ask Stussy to hurry up and find the next destination of the Sun and Moon pirates, after the destination is found, we will send all three Admirals with many warships to ambush Koch and his crew."
The Bald Elder spoke as he threw away the newspaper in anger.
"We can't wait any longer, there is no need to investigate about Koch abilities and the details of the invincible defense of Koch anymore, all Devil Fruits have some weakness, the invincible defense can't be active forever, even if we can't kill Koch, we can still restrain or imprisoned Koch, there were never any Devil Fruit that don't have any weakness."
After the Bald Elder spoke, he didn't hear any response from the other four, he looked at the four Elders and was surprised.
"What are you guys thinking, don't you want to kill Koch right away?, Koch killed a Celestial Dragons in such manner, this is huge blow and disrespectful to our race, the centuries old prestige of world Government was destroyed by Koch, and there is only one way to solve and that is to kill Koch and this Sun and Moon pirates, we need to maintain the World Government prestige."
"Koch killed the Celestial Dragons, and if he is not killed, many pirates will not be afraid of us anymore, they will also start to kill any Celestial Dragons on the sea, they will start to believe that we are becoming weaker, and if this spread all over the sea, the dominance we have over the sea will end."
Even after hearing all of this from the Bald Elder, the remaining Four Elder were silent.
"Why are you four still so quite?" The Blad Elder stared at his companions in dissatisfaction.
"If we do nothing, how can we explain to other Celestial Dragons, they all are so troublesome."
"Look at these pictures." The Elder who always carried the sword spoke, as he pointed the pictures with the tip of the sword.
"From the look of these pictures, and from the news, it can be said that the one who killed the Celestial Dragons is actually Stussy not Koch, looks like Stussy also betrayed the World Government."
"What?"
The Bald Elder picked up the pictures with trembling hands and looked at the pictures.
On the picture, Koch held Stussy as she aimed the gun at Celestial Dragons.
Bald Elder face was grim.
"The CP0, the strongest shield, she actually killed the Celestial Dragons."
They couldn't believe the agent they trained, and trusted actually betrayed them.
"Bring the list of people who are related to Stussy, and immediately execute them."
"Stussy is an orphan, she is also not an agent that we have trained from young, she joined halfway."
One of the Elder who is tall and thin, was still looking at the pictures and he felt something was not right.
"Look at these pictures carefully, from the postures, it looked like Stussy was forced to kill the Celestial Dragons."
All of the Elders looked at the picture carefully.
"Did Koch know about her identity?"
"I think Koch still doesn't know about Stussy's identity, Koch should be testing Stussy's loyalty by this method, she had no choice."
"Then, can we still trust Stussy?"
The Five Elders were silent again.
"Let's not talk about loyalty of Stussy right now, if she can still provide the information about Koch's ability and other information about the Sun and Moon Pirates crew, and their next destination, then she can still be useful."
"Then what should we do about Stussy after the Sun and Moon Pirates are captured?"
"In any case, she is also one of the murderers, If the Celestial Dragons knows that members of CP0 were involved in the killing of the Celestial Dragons, it will damage our reputation."
"Who is Stussy?"
"We don't know."
"Is she a member of CP0?"
"We don't remember anyone like her in CP0."
"She is a member of the Sun and Moon Pirates."
"Yes, she is a pirate."
"And she will die along with the Sun and Moon Pirates."
The Five Elders hurriedly destroyed all of CP0's files on Stussy, there was never a CP0 agent named Stussy.
Then, the Five Elders take out the den den mushi and call Stussy.
...
'New Dawn'
Stussy was in her room, she was in the bed, hiding inside the quilt.
'pele pele pele pele pele'
'pele pele pele pele pele'
'pele pele pele pele pele'
'pele pele pele pele pele'
'pele pele pele pele pele'
'pele pele pele pele pele'
Her den den mushi rang but she pretends not to hear it, and the den den mushi rang for a long time.
'pele pele pele pele pele'
'pele pele pele pele pele'
'pele pele pele pele pele'
After some time, Stussy finally came out of the quilt, she was confused about what should be done.
"He is really a cunning bastard, no wonder the Five Elders say he is dangerous than Charlotte Linlin, he is truly a devil."
'pele pele pele pele pele'
'pele pele pele pele pele'
'pele pele pele pele pele'
The den den mushi kept on ringing, Stussy silently watched the den den mushi, and after some thinking, she decides to pick it up.
'Kacha'
"Stussy speaking, what is the order."
Stussy speak with elegance and calmness.
"Stussy, we all know what had happened there, we can understand that you are forced, we will not talk about this anymore. You will continue to carry out the mission and gather the information about the Sun and Moon Pirates and when you know about their future whereabouts, inform us as soon as possible."
'Kacha'
The Five Elders didn't even give a change for Stussy to respond and hung up immediately.
Stussy pursed her lips and smiled, it seems like the Five Elders have forgiven her, but she knew the Five Elder's code of conduct, which was there was no code of conduct, there is no such thing as forgiveness in their minds.
"From the moment I participated in killing the Celestial Dragons, I was already a dead person in the eyes of the Five Elders." Stussy knew this very well, but she doesn't know what should be done next.
Stussy knew that she can't be undercover agent anymore, the day Koch died will be her last day and if Koch live longer, she will live longer.
Stussy thought silently for a long time, and suddenly got up, she chooses her favorite dress, a white shirt, red tie, black fishnet socks and high heels and applied the red nail polish.
"Actually, I also don't like those Celestial Dragons Pigs."
Stussy leaves her room and went to her captain cabin.
She knew she will die, so she decides to die gracefully.
She is very aware of the current situation, if she continues to obey the order of the Five Elders, then she will get killed together with the crew, but if she doesn't cooperate then, the Five Elders will reveal her identity, and once her identity of CP0 agent is revealed, she will get killed by Koch, and even if Koch didn't do anything, Gion will killed her for sure.
Rather than wait for death, she decided to face the death.
Stussy decided to reveal all of her secrets to Koch, which is the only way of survival for her now.
She didn't know whether Koch would kill her or not, but she had no other choice.
Stussy went to her Captain's cabin and knock the door.
"Come in."
