I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 666: Intelligence and Investigation, Fishman also wants to be a retainer

Whether for research purposes or because Sager wants to meet the demon in person, he needs to find Uta.

This intelligence was naturally handed over to Lucci and Foz F.

Lucci’s office and residence are inside the palace, and a large area has been specially set aside to be used as the office location for the former CP0.

"Understood, I understand."

Wearing a cloak, with a dove standing on his shoulder and wearing a black suit again, Lucci hung up the phone and looked at his friends in front of him.

Gabra was tearing the owl's beak apart, "Why are you spreading rumors about my failed confession to Serana again!"

Serana was a maid he met recently in O'Hara's tavern. Her appearance was... uniquely ugly, and also very rare and alternative.

But at the same time, his confession failed.

"Secret, secret. You have to tell it out loud. It hurts, it hurts!" The owl's round face was stretched like plasticine.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow, my comrades have revealed our comrades' secrets. As a colleague, I feel deeply ashamed and can only commit suicide to apologize!"

Natori fell to his knees, pulled out his wakizashi, and the sharp blade reflected the twisted and painful face, and then he stabbed it fiercely into his abdomen.

Ding!
A sound like the collision of steel was heard in his abdomen, and the wakizashi just pressed against the clothes covered with pitch-black domineering aura, unable to move forward an inch.

"Yoyoyi, I can't die!" shouted Weidori, who had upgraded from a block of iron to the ability to use domineering power.

"Hahahaha!"

Gabra laughed and looked at Lucci, "It's rare for you to come back, smile a little, Lucci!"

"enough."

Lu Qi said coldly, "You heard it just now. We are asked to find out the news about the famous singer 'Uta'. We need to find this woman before she holds her concert."

"Uta"

Hearing this, the three of them fell silent at the same time. Gabra sighed, "Why do I feel like I've heard this somewhere before?"

"A famous singer." Owl unzipped his pants and said, "She's so famous, of course I've heard of her."

"No, that's not what I mean. It's on another level."

Gabra nodded his forehead and said, "Where have I heard of this?"

"Fegarand Uta."

Lucci answered his question, "The daughter of Fergaland Shanks. Of course, I don't know whether it's true or not. I haven't heard that Shanks has a lover before."

After they entered CP0, they knew that Red Hair was a Celestial Dragon.

Although they have all defected because of Kaku's influence, their intelligence is not much different from that of the World Government. Especially in the New World, they have more intelligence than the World Government.

The call that Lucci just received was a direct instruction from Sag.

"Are you going to take action against the Celestial Dragons? No."

Gabra thought for a moment, "Since we are at war with Red Hair, are we planning to use his daughter to force him to show up? Like this..."

"This is too immoral. Even those of us who were CP0 would not do such an immoral thing. How could the Governor do this? As his subordinate, I can only commit suicide by disembowelment!"

Umadori drew out his wakizashi again and was about to strike with the sword when a voice suddenly rang out from the doorway:
"The Governor-General is not so tasteless. Although he didn't say it, the girl named Uta must have something that the Governor-General cares about. Hey, Ugetori, when did you develop the hobby of seppuku?"

Several people turned around and looked at the young man at the door. He had messy hair covering his eyes, had a pair of horns, and was holding a cigarette. He seemed a little gloomy and depressed.

"Oh!"

Owl's eyes lit up, "Pai Gow! Long time no see, are you joining us here too?"

"Don't call me that name anymore. My name is Fuzzy F now. Also, I joined the team earlier than you did."

Fuzzy Fu exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Lucci, "Lucci, this time, I won't lose to you again!"

They all came from the same hometown, Guanhao Island in the Grand Line, which was also the training base for most of the World Government agents. Of course, they knew each other, but they were not from the same batch.

Before changing his name to Foz F, he was indeed called Pai Gow.

"Oh, I'm not interested in competing with you."

Lucci's expression was calm, and he just responded calmly, "Also, this is our intelligence matter, it seems to have nothing to do with you."

Foz F knew that Lucci had joined a long time ago, but everyone was out on missions during that time, so they were like "neighbors you rarely see each other." He knew about him but couldn't see him, so when he finally found the opportunity, he naturally came over to say hello.

As for Luqi
In fact, I don't remember such a person at all.

He has little interest in losers who were eliminated early.

"We have also received orders from the Governor-General. This matter is under our investigation."

Fuzzy F walked over and sat opposite Lucci, and said with a provocative smile: "Let's work together and compete to see who is more powerful and more qualified to be in charge of O'Hara's intelligence!"

"Oh, so you want to provoke me."

Lu Qi grinned grimly: "A loser is not qualified to be compared with me, or do you want to experience the taste of failure again?"

"Hehehe, that's not your decision. Come to think of it, you can also be considered a 'loser'." Foz F sneered, and his eyes hidden by his hair seemed to penetrate Lucci through the hair.

The two of them just stared at each other, and the sunlight shone through the window, shining on their shadows, causing their shadows to gradually lengthen and swell, turning into the shadows of wild beasts.

Unlike the external intelligence managed by Lucci, the Oniwaban led by Foz F is responsible for internal investigations.

With such a large territory and the lessons learned from previous businessmen, this cannot happen again, otherwise it will seriously affect the business.

Although Sag didn't care and was confident that he could suppress it, Lily didn't want to make so much trouble. And the intelligence organization had enough people, so she let Foz F do this specifically.

They are all intelligence departments, but they have different divisions of labor. This is also the first time that the two departments are officially dealing with each other, and it is obviously targeted.

As for Uta, Sager wanted to find him quickly and couldn't let them waste too much time, so the two departments cooperated.

How to cooperate
It's a competition of who can find it faster.

After the shadow regained its human form, Foz F looked at Lucci provocatively, and without staying for too long, he turned around and left. Lucci groaned, sat back in his seat, and said, "Except for Kalifa, call everyone else back. All the tasks will be put aside. The most important thing now is to find where Uta is."

"understood."

Gabra stopped laughing and looked outside the door. "That Pai Gow guy is very proud now. The Governor made him play a big role."

Foz-F used to be under Kaido's command, but they didn't know this when they were CP9. They only found out about this after they joined CP0.

Under Kaido, his role was not fully played. Although he was also responsible for gathering intelligence, the stage for him to perform was not big enough. Kaido himself paid more attention to military force, so intelligence was enough.

Unlike Sage, whose territory is so large that it is three times more powerful than those powerful countries, and it is also very prosperous. Many things need to be prevented internally, so there is room for Foz F and Lucci to play.

Being a leader is much harder than passively accepting tasks. Lucci only has Sag above him now, and Lily is only responsible for giving orders. He has to do things, and more importantly, he has to know how to dispatch personnel to explore the surrounding intelligence.

In addition to these former CP0 personnel, some auxiliary intelligence personnel are also needed, and these people are basically recruited from the Disaster Pirates.

As for how it came about
That's so simple. It's definitely a good idea to recruit the person who does his job diligently, well and in an attractive manner.

The nature of the Disaster Pirates is that it is absolutely impossible for them to do anything perfectly. Except for Lily and Marika, everyone else is unreliable in doing things.

Most of those who do a good job are agents sent by the government and the navy.

It doesn’t matter where you work, right?

We might as well gather them here. Now most of them are scattered outside gathering intelligence.

In contrast, the investigative department led by Foz F is filled with a large number of Wano Country samurai. They seem to focus more on strength than secrecy. Internal investigations generally involve looking for an informant who is willing to cooperate actively.

In addition to the two of them, there is another group led by the ten-year-old Lars, who is completely under the command of Sarge and can even ignore Lily's orders. These guys are now the royal guards, responsible for punishing all those who betrayed the Scourge Pirates.

You can just leave, stop being a pirate, or take your spoils and savings back to your hometown to retire. As long as this is clarified, no one will make things difficult for you.

But the only thing you can't do is betray.

They are not targeting all O'Hara, but only the Scourge Pirates who are loyal to Sage, and the same goes for them.

Even though he was unhappy, he was a true 'vassal' of Sager, loyal to him for generations.

Same with the fur tribe.

Speaking of retainers
"Let him be a clown, maybe he can play a different role."

Lu Qi stood up and said, "You guys carry out the mission, I'll go find Sarge."

When two parties cooperate, intelligence is of course shared, and the other party dares not hide anything about this. It must be that Sag's order is the most important.

But before that, he had something to report based on the intelligence he had just compiled.

Not long after, Lucci saw Sage and Lily who was standing beside him.

"Oh! Lucky!"

Sarge grinned and said, "Sit down, sit down, sit down. I haven't seen you for a long time. But you are not here to complain, right? Foz has always wanted to compete with you. As a companion, you have to give him some face."

"I'm not that bored."

After Lu Qi sat down, he said, "I just finished sorting out the information on hand. I think there is something I am almost done with. It is about the murlocs. Recently, many murlocs have come to settle in O'Hara. According to their tone, they are full of gratitude and respect for you. They are all 'aliens' that are different from humans. They are very envious of the fur tribe recently. I was wondering if you need this information so that you can also bring the murlocs under your command."

"Mercemen."

Sager was stunned.

How to put it, the term "human" is very inclusive and includes many races, because in Sarge's eyes, real humans should be like him and Luffy, who are no more than two meters tall.

Those who are over two meters tall basically have some giant blood, especially those who are five or six meters tall, which have even more giant blood.

For example, the horns on Foz F's head are real horns, not some decorative items of the Flying Six. That means he has the blood of the ancient giants, just like Kaido.

But if they are mixed-blood, they are called "ghost tribe", just like Moria.

These can also be counted as humans because they have human form. Others, such as those with long arms, legs and necks, can also be counted as humans.

The fur tribe, dwarf tribe, fishman tribe, giant tribe, etc., which are too different from humans, are regarded as aliens.

No matter how tolerant they are, some places either have implicit discrimination against or are afraid of these races.

We can't expect ordinary people to treat different species equally. Even in O'Hara, the place that was most influenced by him, there are still some people who look differently at these different species who are obviously human but are separated because of their different appearances.

But the Furries don't.

Because they are "retainers", and when it comes to Sage, even the most ignorant O'Hara civilians will respect these people because of Sage's reputation.

"indeed."

Lily agreed after hearing this, "If the time comes, becoming a retainer is a good solution. Sager, there have been several incidents of people from other islands trying to capture mermaids and murlocs recently, but they were all suppressed. Although they were punished, the impact is still not good. It's not bad to have a permanent solution, and it can also control Ryugu Castle in disguise."

Sage's reputation was enormous, especially in O'Hara. No matter who lived there, no one was not in awe of him.

He offers a lot of treatment, his strength is formidable, and he has everything, so naturally he has a huge prestige.

"How about this, call Shark Star over. This guy is the eldest prince and the future king. He can represent all the fish people. If he is willing, I don't mind being the lord of the sea."

The geographical location of Fishman Island is so special that even if Sarge wants to rule it, he cannot do so because he cannot go to Fishman Island in person, otherwise he will be besieged by a large number of Sea Kings as soon as he enters the water.

However, this place can also be used as a transit point. Their secret passage in the Red Earth Continent and the passage to the Gate of Justice are also guarded by fishmen. As long as the box is waterproof enough, they can put the smuggled goods there.

In Sag's plan, this place is of great strategic significance and it is indeed impossible to give it up easily, but it would be meaningless to just hang a flag there.

His glory must, of course, radiate to the bottom of the sea.

Lily's words gave him some ideas.

"It doesn't matter whether Fishman Island agrees or not. The fishmen out of the sea can be divided into two categories from the fishmen under the sea."

Sarge smiled and said, "Neptune and I have cooperated. I will not break this promise, but he can't stop the fishman from finding a new master."
