It seems that Spandam has convinced the Gorosei to resume their search for the Ancient Weapon Pluton.
Now, he has sent his subordinates from CP9 to apply for jobs at the Galley-La Company in Seven Water City, to infiltrate Water 7 and search for the Pluton blueprints.
However, Iceburg has told them that he will only consider their applications if they can find a special kind of wood in Chronos Forest.
But Andy isn't interested in any of this.
Ancient Weapons are formidable, but when a person's strength surpasses that of an Ancient Weapon, the Ancient Weapon simply becomes a huge target.
He isn't trying to conquer the world, after all.
However… he is still very interested in the Sea King Poseidon, but Shirahoshi is much younger than him right now, which is quite an issue.
"It must be tough, working for the World Government and having to do things like this, without even getting much in return…" Andy looked at Kalifa with pity.
"Red Hawk, please do not insult our work. The World Government raised us and taught us our skills; what we are doing now doesn't even come close to repaying a fraction of what the World Government has given us," Kalifa said with a serious expression.
The other CP9 members also looked displeased; their parents were all World Government agents, so they naturally took on this line of work.
Therefore, in their view, working for the World Government was only natural, and there was no such thing as not getting anything in return.
Listening to their discussion, the people in the restaurant were panicking. What kind of topic was this? Was this something ordinary people like them were supposed to hear?
The waiter finally understood why the customers in the restaurant were trembling with fear; that young customer was actually Red Hawk!
He just… Thinking of this, his legs went weak and shaky, and he was so scared he wet himself…
"Indeed, the World Government educated you and your families, so it's only natural for you to work for the World Government," Andy agreed, nodding seriously.
"Red Hawk, perhaps we should discuss other topics. Such talk is not suitable for this kind of setting, don't you agree?" Kalifa's icy expression vanished, replaced by a rare smile.
"Alright, sometimes I'm quite patient with beautiful women. Let's change the subject. So… Miss Kalifa, have you heard of Lamb House?" Andy asked Kalifa curiously.
Kalifa nodded, responding seriously, "Of course, I know. Lamb House is an orphanage founded by the nun Carmel. She adopted countless homeless children, and our ancestors were among those who benefited from her kindness. However, such a kind person was killed by the Four Emperors Charlotte Linlin."
Andy nodded again. It seemed these CP organizations had no idea about what happened back then. Well, it had been a long time.
More than 100 years ago, the World Government and the human trafficker Carmel staged a "performance."
At that time, the world-renowned Giant Soldier Pirates were captured by the Marine. Just as they were about to be executed, Carmel appeared and convinced the Marine to save them.
Carmel used this act to expand her reputation. She established "Lamb House" to adopt homeless children, selling them to the World Government to be trained as future government spies or Marine.
According to what Kalifa said, the ancestors of these CP9 members also came from Nun Carmel's Lamb House.
"In that case, does that mean you can do anything for the World Government?" Andy put down his wine glass, leaning forward with his hands on the table, looking at Kalifa.
"That's right." Kalifa nodded, leaning back slightly. She felt that what Red Hawk was saying was true; Red Hawk was genuinely interested in her.
Hearing Kalifa's words, Andy sat back and then joked, "In that case, Miss Kalifa, why don't you follow me from now on? After all, I'm also an enemy of your World Government. Wouldn't being by my side allow you to better track my movements and gather my intelligence?"
Kalifa fell silent. As expected, Red Hawk really had his eyes on her. She didn't dare to directly refuse now. From the intelligence she had, Red Hawk's personality was somewhat erratic.
"Red Hawk, can we consult our superior about this matter?" At this moment, Rob Lucci stood up and asked.
He had a feeling that if Kalifa refused, all of them might be in trouble today, but he couldn't just abandon Kalifa either.
"Of course, you can. Don't be nervous, I won't just kill people without a word," Andy said casually with a slight nod.
Then Rob Lucci got up and left, returning to his room to practice contacting Spandam. For a moment, the other CP9 members felt uneasy.
Kalifa was also a bit nervous. She was afraid that Spandam would actually agree to let her follow Red Hawk and infiltrate him.
With a pensive expression, she picked up her fruit wine, wanting to drink some to ease her tension.
But within a dozen seconds, she had unknowingly finished the glass of fruit wine.
Andy smiled slightly at Kalifa's current expression. This woman was truly excellent.
After all, who could refuse a beautiful, cold-tempered, and attractive secretary?
Andy felt that when it came to secretaries in Pirate King, many people would first think of Kalifa, and he was no exception.
"It seems Miss Kalifa really likes this fruit wine. Let's have another glass~" Andy seemed very considerate of Kalifa, gently pouring more wine into the glass Kalifa hadn't yet put down.
Kalifa immediately snapped back to reality, her body trembling slightly, almost spilling the wine Andy was pouring.
"Thank you, Red Hawk. This fruit wine is indeed good," Kalifa said, forcing a smile to hide her unsettled feelings.
"You're welcome, Miss Kalifa. You don't need to be so nervous. Rob Lucci should be back soon, and the news he brings…" Andy said with a beaming smile.
That idiot Spandam actually agreed, and he thought that since Red Hawk had taken a liking to Kalifa, Kalifa would have an opportunity to make Red Hawk work for him.
He felt that Red Hawk was too foolish; despite his immense strength, he had given him such a great opportunity to subdue him just for the sake of beauty.
The matter of the Pluton blueprints couldn't be investigated in a short period, but Red Hawk, such a powerful force, was a tangible asset.
So he decisively agreed, allowing Kalifa to go with Red Hawk and infiltrate him, and to fully persuade Red Hawk to submit to the World Government.
Andy: Commander Spandam, you are truly amazing!
Seeing Andy's beaming expression at this moment, an ominous premonition instantly rose in Kalifa's heart. That idiot Spandam couldn't have really agreed, could he?
Just then, Rob Lucci really returned. Kalifa immediately looked at Lucci, and upon seeing Lucci nod, her heart instantly sank to rock bottom.
"Red Hawk, our superior has agreed. Kalifa can leave with you," Lucci said seriously, arriving at Andy's booth.
However.
His tone was somewhat angry. These CP9 members were partners who had grown up together!
That bastard Spandam!
Infiltrating Iceburg was different from infiltrating Red Hawk. They could handle Iceburg, but not Red Hawk.
At this moment, he yearned for power immensely.
"This is truly wonderful news," Andy said happily. "To show my appreciation for Miss Kalifa, Rob Lucci, if you are ever abandoned or even hunted by the World Government in the future, I can take you in."
"Then I thank Red Hawk for his promise," Rob Lucci said in a deep voice.
