Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

Then his gaze fell on Xia Che.

From what those two guys had just said, Wolf knew that the young man in front of him was probably the one who wanted to find him.

But before he could even speak, the man walked over enthusiastically, shook his hand, and said, "Welcome, Mr. Wolf!"

"Who are you?" Wolf looked at Shacher, but then seemed to remember something and said, "Wait, why did you bring me here?"

"Huh? Why did I bring you here?" Xia Che looked at Wolf in surprise. "Didn't Mok say?"

"I already told him, I sent the job posting to this old man!"

"A job posting?" Wolf was taken aback by Moke's words, then seemed to remember something and said with a dark face, "You mean that job posting with no contact information and no interview location?"

This doesn't look like a legitimate job posting to anyone!

And who recruits like this?

He was still working in his lab when, before he could figure out what was happening, he was picked up and thrown into the air.

"Didn't you write it? Never mind, that's not the point." Shacher squeezed Wolf's hand. "Welcome to the team!"

“I haven’t even said I wanted to join!” Wolf said, still with a dark expression. “I don’t care who you are, but can you send me back?”

"Really not going to join? You know we highly value talent like you here." Xia Che frowned, looked at Wolf, and said, "And with your talent, as soon as you join, you can be appointed as the second scientist. Not only will your salary be high, but you'll also get a share of the profits."

"The second scientist? Then who's the first? No, why am I asking this?" Wolf sighed inwardly, looked at Xia Che, and said, "Thank you very much for valuing me so much, but I'm sorry, I still want to go back."

The words fell.

"Is that so?" Xia Che frowned and gave Moke a subtle look. Moke and Big Bear then walked behind Wolf.

Just kidding, now that we're here, how could we possibly send them away?

Just as they were about to carry the person back,

"Why don't you let me speak?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

Everyone looked behind them.

Suddenly.

A figure with a huge head shaped like a light bulb walked over.

Vegapunk?!

"I watched the surveillance footage for a while, and after thinking about it, I decided to come out," Vegapunk said, sticking out his tongue as he looked at Shache. "Can I handle this?"

“Of course, you are the leader of my scientific team.” Shacher made way for Vegapunk without stopping him, and said instead, “Then I’ll leave the rest to you.”

"Don't worry, I believe my reputation still holds some weight." Seeing Shacher's trust, Vegapunk couldn't help but smile. Then, looking at Wolf, who was staring at him with a mixture of doubt and suspicion, he walked over to him, still sticking out his tongue, and said, "As you can see, I am the number one scientist here. You can also call me Vegapunk! To be honest, I've been so busy lately that my head is about to explode. I hope you'll join us; this place is pretty good."

"?!"

This guy……

Is it the vanished Vegapunk?

Wolf looked at Vegapunk with a shocked and incredulous expression.

Is this the place where Vegapunk, the world's greatest scientist who disappeared?

And they're even trying to recruit him?

……

"Boss, should I just knock him out and take him away?"

“No need! Leave it to Vegapunk!” Shache waved his hand as he walked to the side. “I’m sure Vegapunk will be able to persuade him.”

If all else fails, just knock them out and lock them in a dark room.

"Finally done." Xia Che breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Mo Ke beside him. "By the way, did you finish what I asked you to do?"

"All done!" Hearing his boss's words, Moke grinned and said, "Hehehe, once that guy sees this, I'm sure he'll come!"

……

A few days later.

The Great Sea Route is located near the East China Sea.

A submarine with a strangely shaped pirate flag is slowly approaching the East China Sea.

"Luo, we're almost in the East China Sea. Don't worry, Mr. Wolf will be fine."

"I understand!" The man wearing a polka-dot hat, called Luo, nodded and said calmly, "Go in!"

He held a long knife, taller than himself, leaning against his shoulder in his left hand, and pulled out a small piece of paper he had found in the laboratory with his right hand. He frowned, looked down at the paper.

There was a line of writing on the note.

Wolf is in my hands now. Want him? If you do, come to Donghai! I'll be waiting for you there!

[The Overlord of the East Sea!]

Luo narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Overlord of the East Sea!"

Chapter 107 Being targeted

Cactus Island, a whiskey town.

Inside the bustling Spider Cafe.

"Mr. 1, it's been a long time."

“Miss. Two Fingers.” Daz Bonis, who had sat down at the bar, looked indifferently at the girl in front of him who had blue wavy hair tied up with a headscarf, with a strand left out in front, and wore blue-rimmed glasses. She looked like a pure and innocent beauty with light makeup.

Of course, as a former partner, he still knew the true nature of the guy in front of him.

Baroque agent, codename Miss Two Fingers, real name Paula.

He placed his hands on the bar, crossed them in front of his chin, and said in a calm tone, "Speak! What information do you have?"

“There’s no rush, Mr. 1.” Hearing Daz Bones’ words, Bora was not in a hurry at all. With a gentle smile, she said, “Would you like to have a drink first? Today we not only have some new flavored drinks, but we also have a promotion. Couples get the second drink half price, and if it’s a group purchase by the pirate crew, you can enjoy a 30% discount! Or how about a cup of the orange liqueur flavored coffee that came out a while ago? It tastes pretty good, you can try it.”

"No need!" Daz Bones, whose face was usually cold, couldn't help but frown as he looked at Bora trying to sell him the information. "Just tell me the details already!"

"Is that so? I quite like this flavor, and the price isn't expensive. Ever since Baroque Workshop started supplying us with all sorts of specialty drinks and powders, my profits have really increased a lot. I was planning to treat you to a drink to properly thank you!"

"It's about changing the signboard, unifying the signboards, like they said. It's supposed to be changed to Neo-Baroque Cafe, but that name sounds pretty strange. Could we ask them if we can refuse?"

Pora sighed regretfully, but looking at the impatient Mr. 1, she shrugged and then put on a serious expression, saying, "The Heart Pirates that the president told us to keep an eye on did come over a few days ago. They even made some purchases here and spent a lot of money. Oh, and they gave a good review of the orange liqueur-flavored coffee!"

"Enough with this nonsense," Daz Bonis said, his face darkening as he looked at Paula, who was still talking incessantly. "Where are they now?"

“Alright, they’ve already headed to the East China Sea. According to the town’s agents, they seem to be looking for the East China Sea overlord.” Bora pushed up her glasses helplessly and said, “I’ve already guided those guys to the Konom Islands as you requested, but…”

And there was a slight hint of doubt in his voice.

"Why don't you just let us take them down?"

“All you need to do is obey orders!” Daz Bonis frowned, looked up at Paula, and said calmly, “As an agent of Baroque Works, have you forgotten the code of conduct for spies?”

The voice just fell.

Before Bora could say anything, another small figure walked over.

"Pora, I've finished drawing the advertising poster you requested." A small, childlike girl walked over carrying a stack of scrolls, then looked at Daz Bones with surprise and said, "Mr. 1, you're here too?"

"Thank you for your help, Mariano. There are quite a few new products this year, so we need a lot of advertising." Paula took the scroll, unfurled it, glanced at it, and nodded in satisfaction. "As expected of Mariano, you painted it very well!"

"It's alright. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, you can tell me." Hearing Pora's words, Marianou was a little embarrassed, but after a moment she said expressionlessly, "By the way, as you requested, I added exciting colors to the painting. It should encourage people to spend money and increase your sales."

"That's fantastic! Your abilities are definitely suited for opening a coffee shop and a bar!"

"Is there nothing else?" Daz Bonis frowned again as he looked at the two people who had ignored him and started talking on their own. Then he said impatiently, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

“Oh, sorry, I almost forgot about you.” Pora seemed to remember that a special guest had come here today, and her expression turned serious again. “There’s something else. A group of mysterious guys seem to have their eyes on this place and are secretly investigating Jonell Cosmetics.”

"A mysterious guy?" Daz Bonis looked somewhat surprised upon hearing Pora's words.

Someone's eyeing that guy's business?

His expression turned serious again. "Do you know which group it is?"

“It’s not clear yet. They’re very well hidden, but based on our investigation over this period, they seem to be from the New World.” Pora also frowned and said, “They must be quite powerful. Should we send people to continue the investigation?”

The words fell.

"..."

Daz Bonis didn't answer immediately. After a moment's thought, he said calmly, "I'll go back and ask!"

As he spoke, he stood up again.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Just as they were about to walk outside.

Then suddenly...

"Wait a moment."

Paula's voice rang out again.

Daz Bonis turned around in confusion, looking at her. "Is there some other intelligence?"

however.

unexpected.

This time it wasn't intelligence, but rather...

Bora suddenly looked at him with a smile and asked, "May I ask if our club president has changed?"

As soon as these words fell.

"?!"

Daz Bonis's pupils contracted, and he looked at her with a hint of surprise.

How does this guy know?

"How did you know? Of course, I guessed. After all, the treatment suddenly improved. Not only did we get a stable salary, but there was also a generous reward system, even for the lower-ranking agents." Seemingly noticing his surprise, Pora rested her right hand on her chin on her bar counter, smiling as she looked at Daz Bonis and said, "Our previous president wasn't this generous!"
