Stussy walked into the room.
She sat down generously in front of Kevin and lit a cigarette.
"Brother, you've really put me in a tough spot." She exhaled smoke, letting it drift towards Kevin's face, which was close by.
"Brother?"
Stussy leaned forward, getting closer and closer.
"Isn't that right?"
Kevin's eyes twitched slightly.
Just before making contact, Stussy pulled back, sitting up straight and proper.
"A Queen is a Queen."
Kevin sighed.
He had thought she would come in feeling sorry for herself, crying.
"Captain, do you know my true identity?" Stussy looked at Kevin playfully.
You've put me in such a bad situation, it's time for you to be embarrassed.
"My true identity is a member of the Celestial Dragons' direct secret intelligence agency CIPHERPOL-AIGIS0 (CP0)!
Were you surprised?"
Stussy watched Kevin with interest.
She wanted to record the change in his expression at this moment.
The famous Kevin of the sea, would also be greatly shocked and dumbfounded.
It was worth it.
"Oh."
Kevin responded perfunctorily.
He already knew.
Stussy: "...??"
Stussy slowly widened her eyes.
"Click!"
Kevin immediately took out his camera and snapped a picture of Stussy's amusing expression.
"You already knew?" Stussy gritted her teeth.
So I was the clown.
"You're truly a heartless person. Knowing my identity, you still forced me to kill a Celestial Dragon. You're a truly terrifying devil."
Stussy couldn't help but pull her shawl tighter.
She only felt a chill down her spine.
"Captain, how did you know?" Stussy stared directly into Kevin's eyes.
"Where did I expose myself?"
Kevin did not answer.
He merely pointed to his own eyes, then pointed two fingers at Stussy.
His meaning was, I saw through you.
Just a perfunctory remark.
Stussy subconsciously crossed her arms over her chest, her long, fair legs crossed, and she turned slightly, not daring to face Kevin directly.
Kevin's face darkened; he didn't mean that kind of'seeing through'.
"Captain, since you know my identity, how do you plan to deal with me? Kill me?"
"You are my crewmate. I don't care about your past identity. As long as you genuinely join, my promise is still valid. You will always be my crewmate, my person."
Kevin extended his right hand: "Once again, welcome to my Sun and Moon Pirates."
Stussy stared blankly at Kevin's palm.
She felt it was unbelievable.
Knowing my identity, do you still dare to trust me so much?
I am CP0, the strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons you just killed.
A subordinate of the World Government.
Aren't you afraid at all?
Before Stussy arrived, she was prepared to be killed. Even if she survived, she estimated that she would be questioned by Kevin for a long time, and then sign a series of unequal treaties.
Becoming a blade in Kevin's hand.
No freedom, no dignity in the future.
"The moment you walked in, I trusted you."
Kevin's trusting smile.
It reflected in Stussy's eyes.
It opened a crack in her heart, which was accustomed to deception and coldness.
Kevin saw it.
He saw the light on Stussy's body.
Before, she was only a little willing, but now she was radiating light, proving that she was willing, wholeheartedly, and without malice, to join the Sun and Moon Pirates.
Although the light was slightly less than Koala's, it was still certain.
Stussy had made up her mind.
"What a captivating younger brother."
Stussy's eyes shimmered.
Her gaze was fixed.
Even the World Government never trusted us like this; they would always secretly send other spies to monitor. He should be an enemy, yet he trusts me unconditionally.
Stussy pursed her lips and lowered her head.
She didn't want her beautiful face to show an ugly expression due to emotion.
"So, your choice?"
My Captain, from now on, I am your person.
Stussy's slender hand rested on Kevin's large hand.
Stussy felt as if something had hit her chest.
This impact on her was far greater than the first time.
The first time.
Both sides were perfunctory.
"Welcome."
Pleasure Quarter Queen, Stussy, officially joined.
Combat Power: 56,752.
The 50% combat power that had not been gained before immediately surged into Kevin's body.
"Captain, how do you plan to deal with me? Should I continue to deceive the World Government?" Having made her choice, Stussy immediately changed her stance, thinking about the problem from the Sun and Moon Pirates' side:
"The Five Elders should still have some trust in me. If I send back false information, there might be an opportunity to cause a huge crisis for the World Government."
Kevin, however, shook his head.
Letting Stussy be a double agent.
It certainly offered an opportunity to exploit the World Government and even steal some intelligence from within the World Government.
But its usefulness was not very great.
The World Government and the Marines were already out in the open.
They also held an absolute advantage in terms of military might.
Deceiving the World Government with false information would at most just toy with them, but it would be difficult to achieve direct results. If the Marine World Government were to encircle and annihilate the Sun and Moon Pirates, they would definitely send sufficient forces, and with the Sun and Moon Pirates' current combat power, it would be difficult to counter-encircle them.
And letting Stussy continue to be a double agent.
Over time, it might even allow her to play both sides, harboring a sense of lucky (luck/hope).
What Kevin wanted.
Stussy's absolute commitment.
He wouldn't leave her any chance to harbor false hopes.
"You have the Five Elders' telephone number. Call them. I want to talk to the Five Elders."
Stussy: ".....?"
