One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

Faced with Stussy's question, Kiro ultimately remained silent.

Seeing that Kiro had no intention of answering his question, Stussy pursed his lips, his gaze unusually complicated.

In this world, the only people who should know her true identity beneath all the layers of disguise are Vegapunk and herself.

But just now, Kiro accurately exposed everything she had hidden for so many years.

At first, she only wanted to rescue Kiro from her companions and complete the task the doctor had given her.

However, the situation has now spiraled far out of her control.

Kiro displayed astonishing strength, easily defeating CP0's encirclement and attack.

Although she managed to confuse the sniper, even if she hadn't done so, they wouldn't have stood a chance against a serious Kilo.

Seeing Stussy struggling with his decision, Kiro pondered for a moment and then spoke up:

"How about we make a deal?"

He was quite impressed with Stussy, and the other party clearly had no ill intentions, so he had no reason to take action against Stussy.

If they can gain the help of the "Queen of Pleasure Street," the Revolutionary Army's expansion and operations will advance even further.

The red-light district she manages, "Pleasure Street," is not only an entertainment venue that makes every man's heart race, but also a world-class intelligence trading organization.

If we receive intelligence assistance from the entertainment district...

Stussy frowned, snapping out of her reverie and pondering Kiro's words.

"trade?"

Kilo nodded. "Yes, a crucial deal."

"My current identity is the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, and I hope that the Revolutionary Army can receive intelligence support from your 'Pleasure District'."

"Among the six underground emperors, your intelligence network should be the most extensive, right?"

As expected of a multi-layered undercover agent skilled in disguise, Stussy seemed to have recovered from the surprise of having his identity exposed and put on a smiling face again.

This rapid change in state secretly alarmed Kilo.

"That's right, my entertainment district does indeed possess the most comprehensive intelligence network in the world, but..."

"Since you have access to my intelligence networks, what can I gain in return?"

At this moment, she doesn't seem to be the cold-blooded CP0 agent, but rather a shrewd businesswoman.

As someone on Vegapunk's side, she wasn't worried that Kiro would attack her, as a member of CP0.

Kiro had anticipated Stussy's question. He looked directly at Stussy and said:

"Stusi, do you remember where I come from?"

Stussy was taken aback, not quite understanding why Kiro asked that question.

"Ohara, what's wrong?"

Kiro nodded in affirmation. "That's right. Do you remember the final fate of Ohara?"

"It touched upon a forbidden truth, and was therefore erased by the World Government through a Buster Call."

Suddenly, he changed the subject.

"But as far as I know, Vegapunk has secretly obtained all of Ohara's research data, which means that he is very likely also researching the history of the Void Century."

"And now he's a researcher for the World Government!"

"If the World Government found out he was researching history, what do you think would happen to Vegapunk?"

Stussy's pupils constricted, and his expression immediately changed.

Kiro stated the facts calmly, "Don't forget, they launched a Buster Call against Ohara back then."

"And Vegapunk is one of the world's top genius scientists. If the matter is really leaked, they will never let him off the hook."

Stussy pursed his lips, his azure eyes no longer displaying their previous calm and composure, but instead showing obvious bewilderment and worry.

She tried to refute Kiro, but she knew that what he said was true.

As a former scholar of Ohara, Kilo had no reason to deceive her on such a matter.

What if the World Government really does take action against Vegapunk...

Stussy clenched her teeth, a hint of panic and worry appearing on her usually composed and pretty face.

Vegapunk was her creator and always treated her, the clone, as an equal. Stussy had long regarded him as her second mother and benefactor.

To protect Vegapunk, she is willing to go to any lengths, even betraying the World Government behind CP0.

But Stussy, who had worked in CP0 for several years, knew all too well...

If the World Government were to actually take action against Vegapunk, even someone as talented as him would likely not escape his fate.

As Stussy was in turmoil, Kiro's voice rang out again.

"But if you cooperate with the Revolutionary Army, I can prevent this outcome from happening again."

Stussy suddenly looked up, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and looked at Kilo.

"I can agree to that, but..."

"How are you going to stop the World Government?"

Kilo’s tone was calm, yet it revealed an undeniable confidence.

"I will completely overthrow the rule of the world government in the near future."

"Once the World Government ceases to exist, Vegapunk will naturally no longer be in danger."

Stussy paused, looked at the spirited Kilo, pursed his lips, and did not voice any objection.

After all, as a powerful member of CP0, she could sense the sharp, unstoppable aura emanating from Kiro...

Kilo wasn't lying; he was genuinely confident he could do it!

Even though the goal sounded like a pipe dream, for some reason, Stussy had a strange premonition.

The swordsman before me can really do all of this!

After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly laughed like a silver bell, a genuine smile spreading across her delicate face.

"Alright, I'll trust you for now."

"I hope you really mean what you say."

Kiro breathed a sigh of relief, a smile also appearing on his face.

He was prepared for Stussy to refuse, but he didn't expect the other party to actually agree.

Out of the corner of his eye, Kiro caught sight of the unconscious sniper CP0 beside him. He frowned and made a move to finish him off.

But before he could act, he suddenly paused and looked at Stusi beside him.

As far as I can remember, Stussy still had some affection for his colleagues, especially for Lucci and Kaku, whom he showed leniency towards.

Seemingly aware of Kilo's predicament, Stussy shook his head.

"They are ruthless machines that carry out missions normally. I don't know them well, so don't worry about my feelings. Just kill them."

Kiro's brow relaxed, and he casually finished off the unconscious sniper CP0 with a single sword strike.

Now that the deal was done, Stussy was practically one of their own, so Kiro naturally had to help her get rid of these potential problems.

[CP0 member eliminated, points +182]

Looking at the neatly dressed Stussy, Kiro suddenly realized something.

"Your comrades have all died here. In your current state, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain yourself when you return."

"What do you want to do?" Stussy frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Kilo sighed.

"Stusi, you don't want the World Government to discover your secret, do you?"

"Let me help you, I have a good idea..."

……

A moment later, the sharp wind blades that had been hovering around Kiro's fingers gradually dissipated.

"Alright, they definitely won't notice anything amiss now."

"Don't worry, I've got it under control. These are just the most superficial cuts and bruises. With your constitution, you'll be fine after a few days of rest."

At this moment, Stussy looked somewhat disheveled, with some messy, shallow knife wounds on his body, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle.

Even the previously neat and clean white uniform had some holes cut in it, revealing glimpses of her skin.

Her stunning figure, accentuated by the slight cleavage, became even more alluring, possessing a unique kind of beauty.

Stussy was speechless, looking at his current disheveled appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Suddenly, an idea came to her.

Under Kilo's questioning gaze, she stepped forward gracefully, biting her red lips, her bright blue eyes staring intently at Kilo.

The white uniform, with several rips, was stretched to reveal a rounded, full silhouette, making her legs, encased in white stockings, appear even straighter and longer.

"Kilo, how dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of me...?"

Her breath was sweet and her voice soft and alluring, as if she wanted to lean directly into Kiro's arms.

Kilo gasped.

Oops, he almost forgot that the other party was the Queen of Pleasure Street!
