"The prophet? Who is he? Since this information came from within Spade... it seems he should be imprisoned by Spade's people right now," Sima Di asked.
“We don’t know anything about this mysterious prophet either… but to be honest, we also find this matter very strange.”
"how?"
"Mr. Bruce was initially sent to infiltrate the Navy along with me. I was discovered and trained by CP9 as an ordinary person with considerable combat talent, while Mr. Bruce later infiltrated a naval base as an administrative staff member, waiting for an opportunity to gather information..."
"A clerical worker who ended up becoming the Spade?"
"Here's the key point. Mr. Bruce was secretly arrested on his third day in the Navy on charges of stealing classified documents... but in reality, Mr. Bruce hadn't done anything at the time. On the very day Mr. Bruce was to be secretly executed, a ghost broke into the naval base and rescued Mr. Bruce."
"That ghost...is it someone from Spade?"
“Our methods are not yet sufficient to create a communication signal covering the entire Grand Line, but a small camera, with Goulner’s skills, is something we can make… Mr. Bruce once took a picture of him with a simple camera, perhaps you should recognize him.” As he spoke, Shikibe moved the mouse and brought up a somewhat blurry photo.
However, the overall blurriness was not enough to prevent Sima Di from recognizing the people in the photo.
“The ninth generation Spade, the wine-red gentleman Lu Hai. He's also my introducer.” Sima Di uttered the name without hesitation. “Why did he save Mr. Bruce? And… what exactly happened with the Navy?”
"If a tiny Fishman Island can have a Shirley, then how can the Navy, which rules and manages the entire Grand Line, not have some foundation?"
Zi Busheng pulled up another photo, which was much clearer than Lu Hai's photo.
"The Navy's exclusive prophet, a master of Observation Haki—Mechar..."
The person in the photo is an older person.
He possessed enviable long, wavy, burgundy hair and deep, captivating emerald-green eyes, but his face had deep nasolabial folds and a few crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, making him appear to be around forty years old. He wore a white ceremonial robe, his face solemn and serious. The scene depicted in the photo appears to be one of his public speeches… or rather, brainwashing sessions.
Sima Di thought that if this guy liked to laugh, then he would be the best choice for the role of Esmeralda in Sima Di's mind.
"So it was Mechar who predicted that Bruce would steal an important document?"
“That’s right, but we don’t know what documents were stolen. Then…” Zi Busheng pulled up Lu Hai’s photo and placed it next to Mechar’s photo, “This ninth generation Spade, under someone’s instructions, rescued Bruce and sent Mr. Bruce to Lucas’s side as a mysterious cargo escort.”
"As far as I know, Lu Hai never liked the way Spade handled things. After becoming Spade, he only held three Death Games before committing suicide in front of me, leaving me with the mess."
"So we can deduce three pieces of information... Of course, there may be omissions in these pieces of information, so I'll trouble Hongxin to fill in the gaps." Zibusheng straightened his clothes and sat up straight.
Sima Di had seen Zi Busheng like this through the surveillance camera. Generally, when he looked like this, it meant that Zi Busheng's reasoning mode had turned around.
"Your Watson is in position. Please begin your deduction, Mr. Holmes," Sima Di said with a smile.
Zibu cleared his throat and said, "First, there's a Devil Fruit user among the Spades who possesses the ability to revive souls, and this person is very likely a living Spade, or their Holy Envoy... You know what a Holy Envoy is, right? Like your little sidekick."
100 With guilt
Sima Di's face lit up with displeasure at the mention of this little follower.
"I understand. They're all the same kind of people as Spades, and they're also candidates for the new generation of Spades."
“It seems you really don’t like that sissy…” Zibusheng said, “So, the ninth-generation burgundy gentleman can be ruled out.”
"Additional information! This person is neither the third-generation Lucas whom Zoro met, nor the seventh-generation Horta and his assistant Machinaga whom I have already killed. The eighth-generation Evelyn is still alive, so he is a possibility."
"You killed the seventh generation?" Zibu asked, his tone rising with astonishment.
"To be precise, it was just Machinaga. At that time, Horta was probably just a soul stuffed into a Czech doll... and now it seems that Machinaga may be living as a soul. However... I don't think the fruit's owner has enough power to control the souls of the Spades throughout the ages."
“I wholeheartedly agree.” Zi Busheng tidied up the information and entered it into the computer. “Please don’t mind, this information is to be compiled into a report for my boss… although it’s his assistant who’s looking at these things.”
"The revolutionary army also values reporting, huh? I thought they were more free..."
"Without rules, there can be no order. The reason the Navy has become so corrupt is that they only apply the rules to outsiders while ignoring them themselves. Those laughable Celestial Dragons always pretend to be aliens; they'll be happy when you give them some UFOs someday... But let's not talk about that. Let's talk about the second point." Zibusheng changed the subject. "Secondly, there is a prophet in Spade with strength similar to Mechar's. He might have a Devil Fruit ability, or he might have surpassed Observation Haki. But this prophet is an enemy of Spade, and I think his current situation is similar to your guess; perhaps he's imprisoned in some corner of the Spade organization."
“Nothing to add…” Sima Di hesitated for a moment before speaking.
In fact, Emperor Sima already had a guess in his mind at this time, but the guess was too immature and would only cause people to worry if he said it.
Zi Busheng did not notice Sima Di's unusual behavior; he was completely absorbed in his own reasoning.
"Third, the ninth-generation burgundy gentleman is likely the same being as you, and he follows the arrangements of that mysterious prophet. That's why he saved Bruce and arranged for Mr. Bruce to work as a cargo escort for the third-generation killer king. This was to pave the way for Bruce to steal the documents later."
"There's a reason why Lu Hai is called the Wine-Red Gentleman. The previous eight generations were all vicious criminals, while Lu Hai is much better in comparison. Although his methods are extreme and I don't personally advocate them, at least his starting point is good. He has saved just as many people from despair as he has killed."
“I’ve also been following those incidents. The burgundy gentleman is more like a darker version of Sanji. He respects and sympathizes with people. He has saved many people living under domestic violence who were powerless to help, including many wives of gay men. And I agree with you... his methods of saving people are somewhat too extreme.”
“Based on your current deduction… I think our Dark Sanji has been punished by the Spade Organization. Although we don’t know what the punishment is, we can be sure of two things.” Sima Di held up two fingers.
Zi Busheng nodded and continued Sima Di's words, "First, it won't be fatal. Spade is currently severely short-handed, and they won't let go of any usable resources. Second, this punishment will definitely not be pleasant."
“Eh…yes…” Sima Di’s eyes showed some worry.
He had previously stated that the other eight individuals were all heinous criminals, and their methods of committing crimes were incredibly diverse, including countless forms of torture.
"By the way, do you want to keep a copy of this prophecy too?" Zi Busheng asked.
"Is it okay if I keep a copy?"
“Of course, no problem… We’d love for the whole world to see this prophecy of destruction against spades. As long as even one person can understand it, we’ve won.” Zi Busheng said as he copied a copy for Sima Di.
"That's true... So what are your plans next?"
"Besides these undecipherable languages, there's also a string of numbers on this USB drive, isn't there? Those are the keys to unlock the second basement level of the Tower of Justice."
"The second basement level? Is it a level deeper than where Luffy went?"
"Luffy and the others went to the first basement level of the Tower of Justice, which is the underwater passage leading to the Bridge of Hesitation. And there is a second basement level in the Tower of Justice... Hearts, I think you should know about something called Inmor."
"It transforms human emotions into a special kind of energy. This energy is more efficient than any other energy source known to date. And in addition to serving as a regular energy source, it can also be used for other purposes."
"Do you know what it's used for?"
Emperor Sima thought for a moment and then shook his head.
Zi Busheng sighed and said, "I doubt you would know, because these uses are probably impossible to achieve in that world."
"for example?"
"Artificial Devil Fruit, one of the raw materials for SMILE."
"What! SMILE! This stuff is the raw material for SMILE!"
Emperor Sima was shocked and jumped up.
"Oh my god... keep your voice down, they're not deaf even though they're fighting." Zi Busheng quickly covered Sima Di's mouth.
"Hmm...hmm..." Sima Di gestured with his eyes that he didn't need to cover his mouth, and he would be quieter.
"Although I plan to join the Revolutionary Army after the Enies Lobby incident, there are some things I can't let CP9 know... This Enies Lobby was previously used as a transit point for Immor until a few days ago, when they decided to abandon it and temporarily store Immor in Water Seven. If I can make it there in time, I might be able to help destroy a batch of goods."
"As for that shipment... I think we don't need it anymore. Because I've already sent them, including the other three cargo escorts, to heaven. Consider it revenge for Master Bruce." Sima Di took out a test tube from his inner pocket, which contained a pink liquid. "This is the last one from that shipment. I kept it, feeling that I might need it someday. I don't think your Revolutionary Army would mind if I kept one of my own."
“H-type Inmoore, derived from Happiness…” Zibu Sheng recognized the type of Inmoore, a faint smile on his face. “What’s there to talk about minding or not? As long as you don’t return to Spades, that’s the biggest help you can give us. Besides, you’re on my side now… Also, thank you for avenging Mr. Bruce.”
"Thank you is no thanks. Besides, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't know you'd ended up in this place," Sima Di said with a guilty expression.
101 Unexpected gains found
“Don’t think like that. At least I have no complaints about this place, and I’m actually quite excited. Coming to the pirate island is something many people dream of. Besides, meeting that guy Gulna and becoming close friends is a joy in itself,” said Zibusheng. “Now let’s go check out that second basement level. There should still be a lot of stock that hasn’t been transported to Spade Island.”
Zi Busheng handed the written prophecy to Sima Di, who carefully kept the paper prophecy and the H-type Inmore close to his body.
"So our goal now is to destroy all the medicine..."
"There might be some unexpected gains."
Zibu put away the USB drive and then put on his brass knuckles.
bang——
Zibu Sheng delivered a solid punch, completely destroying the homemade laptop.
Zi Busheng glanced at Sima Di and saw the words "heartache" written on his face.
"Just to be on the safe side. Although this thing is not easy to make, it is not difficult either. Don't underestimate that kid Gulna."
-
"Ow—"
Zi Busheng and Sima Di heard such howls as they arrived at the underground level.
Then came a violent shaking.
"It seems Chopper 070 has gone berserk..." Zibu looked up at the debris that had been shaken down.
Emperor Sima did not answer; his gaze was somewhat dim.
Zi Busheng saw Sima Di like this and patted him on the shoulder.
"This is not like the arrogant Red Heart we knew before... Don't worry, this is a necessary step in Chopper's growth. If you help him, you will only make Chopper's time stay in Sakura Island forever."
"Hmm... I understand..." Sima Di forced a smile.
When exactly did I go from being a mere spectator to becoming like this...?
Who knows...
The two walked to the heavily locked door.
The door is made of materials similar to the external equipment used to transport Immor; it's not something that can be opened easily. Even a superhuman with a power level of over 500 wouldn't be able to open it. Unless the other party intends to break through the load-bearing wall of this floor and perish along with what's inside.
Zi Busheng entered the password to unlock the first access control, then took out an ID card he had obtained beforehand and passed through the second access control.
