I just want to find a job, and then become a Navy Admiral.

Inside a huge room on the ship 【Gran Tezolo】 that is filled with screens.

Many people dressed as guards were busy inside, either registering people or taking notes while looking at screens.

On every screen, there was a view of every corner that the Den Den Mushi (snail communication devices) could capture within the entire Golden City.

The screen displays a clear view of tourists, residents, and staff.

But in any case, everything on the screen looks glamorous.

This is in stark contrast to the images displayed on the dozens of screens next to it.

The screens were filled with darkness and decay, and the people on them were dressed in tattered clothes, many of them doing hard labor under the whips of overseers.

Several children gathered together, rummaging through the trash flowing down from the overhead pipes. One child was beaming with excitement when he found a whole apple with only a small chip in it.

"Someone in the 46th monitoring Den Den Mushi is no longer able to work."

At this moment, the guard, who had his legs propped up on the monitoring table and was leaning back in his chair with a fresh apple in his hand, noticed an old man in tattered clothes lying on the ground on one of the screens. He immediately picked up the microphone and spoke.

Soon, a voice came from the other end of the microphone: "Understood."

But then an impatient voice came from the other end: "Another one who can't do any work."

Upon hearing this, the security guard noticed his colleague appearing on the screen in front of the old man. He then chuckled into the microphone, "Give them a beating and see. If that doesn't work, just throw them away. They don't have much money anyway, and their debts can just be left to their families."

There was no response from the other end of the line. Instead, the guards on the screen turned around, gave a thumbs-up to the surveillance Den Den Mushi, and then started punching and kicking the old man.

Even if bystanders saw it, they all lowered their heads, too scared to speak.

A moment later, the old man shakily got up and struggled to push the mine cart forward.

But the next moment, the whip struck the old man directly.

The old man screamed in agony.

The security guard who witnessed this grinned, completely unconcerned, as if such things had become a daily occurrence.

Even the guards nearby watched the scene with smiles on their faces, showing no sympathy or any other expression.

However, most of the guards in the monitoring room were gathered in front of the largest screen.

On that huge screen were the audience members watching the performance on the central stage. All the guards were watching these audience members, as if they were searching for or looking for a target, because they would immediately make a record when they noticed someone dressed in ordinary clothes or a pirate or bounty hunter.

"What's wrong?"

But at this moment, another security guard who was watching the screen became puzzled, and his companion spoke up.

The security guard stared at the surveillance screen on the coastal boulevard with a puzzled expression.

But just as the guard was about to speak...

"Slurp lurp lurp~~"

The strange laughter reached everyone's ears.

Immediately, all the guards stood up.

The next moment...

On the wall next to the surveillance screen on the coastal avenue, a large head appeared directly through the wall, followed by the entire body.

It's a 'person' that's like a cat, but also like some other creature!

He was wearing a guard uniform, but unlike the other guards' uniforms, this person was clearly wearing a manager's uniform with a green bow tie on the collar.

Upon seeing this person appear, all the guards immediately saluted.

"Did you find anything?" The man with the enormous head looked at the guard with a strange smile.

The guard saluted again and said, "Mr. Tanaka, Gretz just led some men to arrest a debtor, but they haven't come out of the alley since, including the debtor himself. So I'm wondering if something happened."

"Slurp lurp lurp~~" Mr. Tanaka, the head of security in Golden City and one of its high-ranking officials, chuckled, "Just keep an eye on things. No debtor can escape this city, so there's no need to make a fuss. Besides, Gretz and his team's mission is with ordinary people; there won't be any surprises. And that's not the most important thing right now..."

With that, Mr. Tanaka turned to everyone and said, "Please continue your work as well."

All the guards immediately saluted and then returned to their previous work.

Mr. Tanaka approached the surveillance guards at the lowest level of the secret port, looking at the people constantly moving goods within the port on the several screens, and asked directly, "Have you figured out the identity of the person Doflamingo hid on the ship and who was being guarded by Donquixote Family executives?"

The guard immediately said, "Not yet, but we can confirm it's an elderly man. We had the person who saw the man check his identity against the wanted poster, and we can confirm he's not a pirate or any other wanted criminal."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the guard noticed that although Mr. Tanaka was smiling at him, his eyes were unusually cold. He quickly bowed and said, "I'm very sorry! I've tried everything to get close, but the Don Quixote family won't let our people near. However..."

The guard immediately looked up at Mr. Tanaka: "The person who escaped from their ship has been identified as a little girl, and she is still being searched for by the Don Quixote family. The little girl seems to have been trying to rescue the old man they were hiding. She has now escaped..."

At this point, the guard quickly turned around, pressed a few buttons on the control panel in front of him, and one of the screens immediately changed.

On the screen, a girl with pink hair wearing a brown cloak was seen cautiously observing her surroundings from a corner.

Behind the girl, there was what looked like some kind of pipe extending upwards from below.

"Did it run up to the middle level through the pipe? Slurp slurp slurp~~ That's quite a feat, huh?"

However, just as Mr. Tanaka saw the girl, he also saw another screen, in a place very close to where the girl was hiding...

The two Don Quixote family members, dressed as guards and clearly trying to conceal their presence, had approached the girl.

And clearly the girl didn't notice the two people approaching.

Mr. Tanaka's lips curled into a smile. "I remember, these two are called Gladius and Dellinger, right? But whoever they are, no fighting is allowed on the ship."

After saying that, he looked at the guard and said, "Let..."

But just as Mr. Tanaka was about to speak...

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) started ringing.

Mr. Tanaka took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

As soon as the call connected, Tesoro's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "Tanaka, come here. I need you to distribute the photo of that person named Suan so that everyone remembers him. We'll need him later."

Mr. Tanaka immediately said, "We found the little girl who escaped from Doflamingo. Moreover, Doflamingo's men, dressed in our guards' uniforms, also found her."

Tesoro replied from the Den Den Mushi, "It doesn't matter. Whatever Doflamingo does, we have other important things to do now."

"Yes." Mr. Tanaka responded with a devout look at the Den Den Mushi.

Then he turned around and floated away through the wall again.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Mr. Tanaka leave.

Meanwhile, the security guard monitoring the coastal boulevard looked curiously at the girl's monitor screen.

But when he looked over, his expression froze.

Subconsciously, he looked at the screen he was responsible for watching again, but still couldn't see Gretz and the others.

but...

The security guard turned to look at the surveillance screen, especially at the young man wearing glasses on the screen, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Why is that person here...wasn't he just on the seaside promenade?"
