Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

Chapter 104: Memory Revision and Counter-Infiltration; Dark Gate Completed

Even if Drake is killed now, and the news is kept under wraps, and he doesn't contact the Navy Headquarters for a long time, the Navy will notice something is wrong within two months, or even less, and then send in another undercover agent to investigate.

Pudding's Memory-Memory Fruit ability allows her to not only view her opponent's memories but also arbitrarily modify them.

This is the most overpowered aspect of her ability; it's truly terrifying.

"You mean, you want to have this little girl alter his memories and turn him into one of ours?" Kaido's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly.

That's a good idea. This kid's strength is not bad. At least he's reached the level of the Flying Six, and he might even be one of the stronger ones.

If we could use memory manipulation to make this kid work for the Beasts Pirates, that would indeed be a good idea.

Upon hearing this, X Drake immediately tried to struggle, but he was restrained by Jack, Rhodes, and Sylvanas at the same time, and his struggle was futile.

"I'm sorry, Lord Rhodes, my memory modification can only be done on recent memories, that is, a few days. I really can't modify memories that are too long ago!" Pudding lowered her head, looked at Rhodes timidly, and said.

Please, their Devil Fruit ability can indeed modify memories, but do you think it's limitless?

I could only modify it for a few days, and even when she first obtained the fruit, she could only view the memories.

Moreover, at the beginning, you could only watch memories from a few days ago, and only later could you watch memories from several years later.

It wasn't until this year that I awakened the ability to modify other people's memories, and perhaps as I develop this ability, the modification time will be extended.

For example, she could modify memories from several years or even more than a decade ago, or completely erase a person's memories, but she can't do that right now.

Damn it! I didn't even help Lord Rhodes. I must prove my worth in the future.

"Really? It's alright, Pudding. You're still too weak right now. Focus on developing your Devil Fruit ability, and you'll definitely be able to do a lot of things in the future." Rod reached out and patted Pudding's head as he spoke.

Okay! I've been thinking too much. If it were really possible to alter memories from several years in the future, then Big Mom would have already used Pudding's ability.

It doesn't matter. As her strength increases, this girl's abilities will also increase, and she will reach that level sooner or later.

"Thank you, Lord Rhodes. However, while I cannot completely alter his memories, I can modify everything he saw today," Pudding said.

She has now figured out what happened; this guy was a spy sent by the Navy, and her Devil Fruit ability had indeed exposed him.

But as long as he deletes everything about this from today, the kid won't feel like he's been exposed.

"That's a good idea. So it's decided then, Pudding. You should delete all the information about us discovering you were an undercover agent from his mind today."

Then I changed it to, "He passed the Beasts Pirates' test and became a high-ranking member of the Beasts Pirates." Rod said.

"Why keep this guy alive? Why not just kill him and take his Devil Fruit power?" Kaido said impatiently.

"Please, Father-in-law, think this through carefully. We have a lot to do in the coming period, and we haven't yet reached our full strength!"

At this point, we should be developing our own strength steadily. It's not time to start a full-scale war with the World Government or the Navy. So let's leave this kid here and make him feel like he hasn't been exposed.

"The best way is to report things to the World Government from time to time, act as a counter-espionage agent, and steal intelligence from the World Government for us," Rhodes said.

"Oh! You mean to use this girl's ability every now and then to probe his memories, and then delete the part of his memories that we've probed, right?" Kaido asked.

"That's right, that's it. Brin, you can only modify your memories for a few days at most now," Rhodes asked.

"Lord Rhodes, I can now modify memories up to seven days in length. I can freely modify memories within those seven days, and I can view memories within the last ten years," Pudding said.

"That makes things easier. Just in case, every seven days, have Pudding use her ability on him to view all his memories, and then make some modifications and embellishments to those seven days' records," Rhodes said.

This ensures absolute safety; they can freely view and modify all memories from the past seven days.

"That's a good idea, but I don't have time to keep an eye on this kid. Who do you think would be the most convenient place for him?" Kaido asked.

"It won't work here. I have too many secrets here. Send him to a high-ranking official's side and have him keep an eye on him at all times."

Bring him to me every seven days, then we subdue him and have Pudding use her powers to alter his memories.

Once all our plans are completed, we will no longer need to worry about the Navy or the World Government.

"Then kill this kid and extract his Devil Fruit power. What do you think, Father-in-law?" Rod asked.

This is the safest way to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Hmm! This kid is quite strong. We can't let him leave Wano Country. In that case, let's hand him over to King!" Kaido said.

As the most powerful of the three main characters, Jhin the Wildfire is strong enough to subdue this kid. Moreover, Jhin is very meticulous and can usually deceive this kid.

And even if they can't deceive him, it doesn't matter. They also have ways to modify memories; after all, everything he sees within seven days can be changed at will.

The other members of the Flying Six, along with Rhodes and the others, nodded in agreement.

"Okay, it's decided then, Jack. In a bit, you take this kid over there, then tell him everything, and give him a good talking to."

"Keep a close eye on this kid. Treat him like one of our Beasts Pirates members, but every seven days, Jack, you two go over there too. Subdue him together and take him to Rod for brainwashing," Kaido said.

Only the higher-ups knew this kid's undercover identity; the rest of the underlings would just assume that a powerful figure had joined the pirate crew and wouldn't give anything away.

Jack nodded, indicating that he understood.

Rhodes instructed Pudding to make final modifications to X Drake's memories. Everything in this hall was a welcome party for him by the Beasts Pirates, and also a chance for him to get to know the higher-ups of the Beasts Pirates.

Pudding quickly finished altering the memories and then quietly retreated to Rhodes' side.

After Drake regained consciousness, he did not feel anything unusual. In his memory, after entering the hall...

After exchanging a few words with Kaido, he was allowed to join the Beasts Pirates, and then he got to know the high-ranking members of the Beasts Pirates.

I don't know why, but I always feel a bit sore all over. Could it be that I'm tired from all the traveling these past few days?

"Drake, from now on, you are a true fighter in our Beasts Pirates. You've only just joined, so we can't give you too high a rank. From today onwards, you'll be working with one of the three great commanders, King. Jack, take this new crewmate over and introduce him to King," Kaido said.

"Thank you, Boss Kaido," Drake said.

"Come with me, Drake, I'll take you to see Brother Jhin!" Jack, who was over eight meters tall, stood in front of Drake and said expressionlessly.

Drake nodded, got up, and followed Jack away.

"You guys better watch out, be careful not to let him notice anything unusual," Kaido said.

"Don't worry, boss, we understand. Don't forget I used to be a World Government agent; hiding my identity is one of my specialties." — Who's Who

The other members of the Sky Six nodded in agreement. They certainly wouldn't have much contact with such an undercover agent under normal circumstances.

After finishing everything, Rhodes took Sylvanas and Brin back to his residence, and then had the flying carpet make a few more trips to move Brin's dessert shop over.

The next few days passed peacefully, and Rhodes continued with his usual routine: learning fel magic from his teacher, sparring with Queen Yamato, and training his stamina in the evenings.

Brin expressed her desire to join the endurance training program, but Rod refused, saying she was too young. What a joke, the little girl is only fourteen!

Time passed slowly like this.

"Lord Rhodes, this is a heart-shaped dark chocolate cake I made. Please try it! What do you think of it?" Pudding's eyes sparkled as she brought a plate of her freshly baked cake to Rhodes and said.

"Mmm! It tastes good! You did a great job," Rod said with a smile.

This girl has a pretty good talent for making cakes.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Rhodes!" said Brin.

First, I need to win over Lord Rhodes' stomach.

Damn it! Lord Rhodes actually thinks she's too young and won't let her join their adult games.

Around noon that day, Retson arrived at Rhodes' place and brought him some good news.

"Rhodes, the Dark Gate is complete," Retson said.

It involved tens of thousands of laborers, as well as those gigantic tyrants.

Everyone worked overtime, operating 24 hours a day, and finally the Dark Portal was completed on schedule.

Now all that's left is for Rhodes to travel to Azeroth, and for both sides to open the Dark Portal together.

The Forsaken and the old Horde should have already set up the portal to Azeroth.
