Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

She has short, curly blonde hair, blue eyes, and wears bright red lipstick; she is elegant and beautiful.

She was wearing a white bodysuit, a red tie, black fishnet stockings, and high heels.

Like Kalifa, she is a top-tier mature woman.

But Lucci knew that this woman was far more dangerous than her appearance suggested.

CP0 veteran, Stusi.

"Stusi?"

Kalifa frowned slightly. "Why are you here too?"

"Following orders from above, temporarily cease espionage activities and return to assist."

Stussy smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping across the cabin. "Long time no see, everyone. It seems you've all been doing well these past years?"

Her tone was relaxed and casual, but Lu Qi could sense that beneath the woman's seemingly languid gaze lay a bottomless wariness.

As a clone of Baginam Stussy, a member of the Rocks Pirates, Stussy's identity is far more complex than it appears.

She is not only a member of CP0, but also one of the emperors of the underworld.

Queen of the Pleasure Street.

He was responsible for surveillance, infiltration, and intelligence gathering; he was a true multi-faceted spy.

I didn't expect that even she would be involved in this mission.

Lu Qi nodded, his gaze passing over her and landing on the two people behind her.

What concerned him more was the third person.

He was a tall man with spiky hair and sinister eyes.

He was wearing a black suit with a special badge pinned to his chest, the symbol of the Beasts Pirates.

"Are you here to cause trouble?"

Lu Qi narrowed his eyes.

The owl unzipped its beak and exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh? Isn't this Pai Gow? Weren't you a spy? Has your identity been exposed? I didn't leak this!"

"Shut up."

The man spoke coldly, his gaze sweeping over the owl, "My name now is Foz F.

Foz F.

Former CP9 intelligence agent, a secret intelligence agency directly under the World Government.

More than a decade ago, he was imprisoned for failing to escort rubber fruit.

In prison, he overheard a guard mocking him: "Why don't you pray to the sun god Nika?"

The guard mysteriously disappeared the very next day.

With the keen sense of a spy, Foz-Foe knew very well that he might be next.

So he escaped from prison.

He formed the Who's Who Pirates and later joined the Beasts Pirates, rising to the rank of the Flying Six due to his considerable strength.

And just recently, the world government actually got back in touch with him.

Let him continue as a spy for the Beasts Pirates, restore his CP9 status, and allow him to become a CP0 member.

"Kaido's side is also somewhat interested in this matter."

Foz-Fur scoffed, "So you sent me out to take a look around, and I happened to stop by your place while I was at it."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Lu Qi's lips.

“Foz F., it’s been over ten years, and you’re still the same annoying person.”

"Each each other."

Foz retorted sharply, "I heard you're highly regarded by the Five Elders now? Ha, that good-for-nothing who failed his mission back then is now doing quite well."

Their gazes met in mid-air, sparks seemingly flying.

The owl secretly unzipped its beak and whispered, "Let's fight! Let's fight!"

"Shut up!"

Gabra pressed his mouth down again.

"Hmph, I won't bother with you. Just don't let the little cat interfere with my mission." Foz-Fur snorted.

This matter concerns Shanks, and Who's Foz is quite interested in it.

It was Shanks, the red-haired man, who stole the Gum-Gum Fruit back then!

The culprit who put him in jail.

Lu Qi smirked coldly. "You're still the same as ever, never knowing how to assess the situation."

"What did you say?"

Foz-Foe's eyes turned dangerous.

I said,

Lucci spoke slowly and deliberately, "Do you know Shanks' true identity? The one who caused your mission to fail and land you in jail."

Foz narrowed his eyes. "What are you trying to say?"

"He is a Celestial Dragon."

Lucci casually dropped this bombshell.

Foz-Foe's expression froze instantly.

"That's right,"

Lucci continued, his tone clearly sarcastic, "You were defeated by a Celestial Dragon back then, and almost got wiped out for failing to escort the Gum-Gum Fruit. And now, you're actively getting involved in a mission about him. It seems you really haven't learned your lesson and want to experience being imprisoned again?"

Foz-Foe's face turned ashen.

Are Shanks and the other Celestial Dragons just playing him for a fool?!

There's no way a Celestial Dragon would become a pirate and then steal from a Celestial Dragon!

"Rob Lucci!"

"how?"

Instead of retreating, Lucci advanced, instantly closing the distance between them. "Don't mess things up again like you did more than ten years ago, or the Five Elders won't give you a second chance."

Perhaps due to the nature of their Devil Fruits, both being Cat-Cat Fruit users, Who's-Who is in the Ancient Zoan form of Saber-toothed Tiger, while Lucci is in the Leopard form.

In addition, since they both come from CP9, there has always been a subtle competitive relationship between the two.

"OK OK."

Stussy smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Now is not the time to argue; the mission is more important."

She walked over to Kalifa and looked at the intelligence report on the table, "Uta, Song-Song Fruit, Totemjika..."

She murmured to herself, a complex emotion flashing deep in her eyes.

As an undercover agent for Vegapunk, Stussy knew far more inside information than anyone else present.

Nika, the sun god.

Music Devil Totemjika.

These legendary beings are gradually awakening.

.......

Competition brings pressure.

CP0's efficiency is beyond question.

Those who work in intelligence are indeed experts in this area.

In less than a day, Lucci and Foz-Foe, two intelligence experts, located the location of Uta's concert.

"The Kingdom of Eregia".

Kalifa pointed to a coordinate on the map, "It's here."

Eregia, once the island of music, was destroyed in a fire many years ago and is now a ruin.

"Why hold a concert in a place like that?" Kaku frowned.

“Perhaps it has some special meaning,” Stussy said softly, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

She recalled some intelligence from many years ago.

Regarding the relationship between Uta and Shanks.

The truth about the little girl being left on the island.

......

"Ready to depart."

Lu Qi stood up, interrupting her thoughts.

The gray ship changed course and sped towards Eregia.

However, when they arrived at the target sea area, everyone was stunned.

In the distance, the outline of Eregia Island was already faintly visible, but what shocked them even more was that a faint singing voice came from the island, with extremely strong penetrating power, and could still be clearly heard from a distance of several nautical miles.

"This is?"

Kalifa had just opened her mouth when suddenly her vision blurred.

The next second, she found herself standing in a completely unfamiliar world.

All around were colorful musical symbols, huge musical note clouds floated in the sky, and streams formed from melodies flowed on the ground.

"What's going on?!"
