Soft and chewy, it has a captivatingly delicate feel that makes people want to protect it.

Jennifer had introduced her to him; the girl's name was Peacock, and she was Drake's second-in-command, holding the rank of Major.

Rorschach, however, knew more than Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer.

In the One Piece manga he had read, Peacock is the granddaughter of Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Navy's chief of staff, and a Paramecia-type Whip-Whip Fruit user.

She can command everything she whips, including people and buildings.

This ability is outrageous.

Perhaps it was this ability that gave this already extremely beautiful girl a touch of masochism, her voice and expressions full of allure, making men's blood boil.

For some reason, Luo Xia always felt that the way the other person looked at him had other meanings.

Drake put down his coffee and picked up where Peacock left off.

"The second mission depends on the fact that Gross is still alive. Once we confirm his death, we will evacuate the royal city immediately. In addition, I think there is a third mission, which is to investigate the mastermind behind Ilya's attempt to establish a pirate nation."

"The mastermind?"

Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer was taken aback, not understanding what she meant.

Drake glanced at everyone in the room and said in a deep voice:

"That's right, the mastermind. Building a nation made up of pirates is no easy feat; it's not something money can buy. Pirates are inherently unruly and rebellious; how could they willingly submit to the rule of others?"

"The Eight Treasures Navy of the West Sea is different. They are pirates with a family tradition, passed down from generation to generation over hundreds of years. Their internal unity is something that the scattered pirates of the North Sea cannot match."

"If Ilya wants these wolf cubs to obey his orders, there must be a more powerful force pulling the strings behind the scenes."

“You make a good point.” Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer nodded repeatedly, then thought for a moment, as if she had just realized something. “Could it be Gecko Moria?”

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gecko Moria? How did he get involved with him?" Drake frowned upon hearing this.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are no small fry.

Each of them was a powerful pirate renowned throughout the seas.

It wields enormous influence on the high seas and possesses immense strength.

That is why the World Government invited them to become allies, thus ending their targeting by the Navy.

"The Giant Worm Pirates are currently working for Ilya. Mig Jones is a Supernova who returned to the North Blue from the Grand Line. It is said that he had contact with Gecko Moria in the Grand Line and is already one of his capable subordinates."

"Mig Jones?"

Drake frowned and turned to look at the peacock beside him.

Peacock shifted his gaze from Rorschach's face, reached out and touched the long whip hanging at his waist, and chuckled as he spoke: "Captain of the Giant Worm Pirates, Mig Jones, a Zoan-type Worm-Worm Fruit user, Sandworm form, with a bounty of 1 million Berries. He has several skilled pirates under his command with bounties exceeding 3000 million. He is known for his brutal and arrogant nature."

"A pirate with a bounty of over 100 million? It seems this mission won't be easy."

As he spoke, Drake stood up and looked at Rorschach beside Jennifer.

"Is this Lieutenant Rorschach that Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer mentioned on the Den Den Mushi? He looks rather young."

Luo Xia took two steps forward and raised his hand in a military salute.

“Branch 177, Lieutenant Rorschach greets Major Drake and Major Peacock.”

By 1516, Drake was 26 years old and had risen to the rank of Major.

Among the new generation of naval personnel, he is considered a promising talent.

"Captain Drake, Rorschach may be young, but he's quite capable."

Jennifer had barely uttered a word when Drake interrupted her with a raised hand.

"Strength is not important. We just need a local guide. If there is a battle, we can handle it ourselves."

Drake remained noncommittal regarding Jennifer's support for the silver-haired boy.

In his opinion, if Luo Xia were really that capable, how could he still only be a branch lieutenant?

As for Jennifer's statement that Rorschach's strength was "not bad," Drake completely took it as her wanting Rorschach to accompany them on missions so that he could gain experience and make it easier for him to get promoted in the future.

Although the Sharp Blade Force is an external naval unit, its internal rank and position can still be promoted in the same way as the main naval force after accumulating enough merit.

Jennifer became anxious when she saw that Drake didn't seem to believe what she was saying.

But Rorschach didn't take it to heart.

He shook his head slightly at Jennifer.

"Well then, let's not delay any longer and set off now. It will take a little more time to get to the island where the royal city is located, so let's not linger here any longer. Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer, you will continue to be in charge of intelligence gathering. Contact me immediately if you have any important information."

After Drake finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.

Rorschach suddenly called out to him.

"Major Drake, I have a suggestion on how to enter Prince City, which is besieged by pirates. Perhaps we can enter the city discreetly."

"Captain Drake, dressed like this, are we really going to be able to enter the royal city smoothly? Isn't it a bit too risky?"

On the wide avenue, Drake led the way, followed by more than a dozen people, walking openly toward the gates of Prince City.

The speaker was a captain from headquarters who was walking behind Drake.

At this moment, the captain was wearing a white sailor uniform with the chest open and a rough strip of cloth haphazardly tied around his waist.

A thick, somewhat dazzling gold necklace hung down his waist, swaying as he walked.

He had a gleaming short-handled flintlock pistol and a sheathed dagger tucked into his waistband.

No matter how you look at it, no one would associate him with the righteous Navy and even have a connection to Pele.

"Listen up, we pirates now, pirates must act like pirates, be wilder."

Drake's expression remained unchanged, but his lips twitched, and he gave a low, harsh rebuke.

He remained unchanged while walking at the front of the group.

They didn't change their attire at all.

He wore a black eye patch, had scars on his face, a sword at his waist, and a captain's hat on his head; he walked with a swagger.

With each step he took, his slightly raised chin revealed a hint of arrogance in his heart.

According to Rorschach, Drake's attire is exactly that of a pirate captain.

If it were on the high seas and encountered by the navy, it would definitely take a few hits from cannonballs.

The other dozen or so officers at headquarters also changed into their usual pirate outfits.

Among them, Peacock and Rorschach, who were walking a step behind Drake, were the most eye-catching.

Like Drake, Peacock didn't change her clothes and was still wearing that tight-fitting mini dress.

Her curvaceous figure seemed to be constricted by that thin garment.

Two long, slender, fair legs, clad in pure black high heels, swayed as they walked in the middle of the road, attracting the greedy gazes of countless pedestrians on both sides of the street.

Beneath the light pink leather hat was a captivatingly beautiful face.

The black leather whip tied around her waist added an indescribable charm to the woman.

Meanwhile, Luo Xia, standing next to him, had changed into a pair of blue capri pants, a white shirt with the front open to reveal a large expanse of his bronze muscles, and leather slippers.

Her silver hair was tied up in a single ponytail.

Two teardrop-shaped tattoos were painted in purple ink at the corners of her eyes on both cheeks.

His right hand rested on his waist, gripping the hilt of a long sword.

What's most striking is his pair of light blue eyes, which are slightly bloodshot.

His wide-open mouth held a hint of cynicism.

"I say, your outfit doesn't look like that of a pirate at all, does it? You look more like a young nobleman from some kingdom who's come to Prince City for a visit."

Drake glanced at Rorschach behind him out of the corner of his eye, and a smirk appeared on his lips.

This boy from Branch 177 is just too good-looking, isn't he?

The reason they dressed up as pirates was at Rorschach's suggestion.

Rorschach believed that since Ilya's goal was to transform the Kingdom of Prince into a pirate nation...

This means that the number of pirate crews gathered in the Kingdom of Prince is definitely not small.

And that is their opportunity.

They dressed up casually and disguised themselves as the North Sea pirates who came to participate in the royal city's grand event.

There's no need to sneak in carefully; just go in through the main entrance.

The benefits of disguising oneself as a pirate crew are not limited to this.

They could also use this opportunity to infiltrate the enemy's ranks, or even get close to the palace, to openly and legitimately gather information about the current situation of the royal family.

Peacock moved closer, smiling as she looked up at Rorschach: "No, I think his outfit suits him quite well. Who says there aren't any noblemen among pirates? Hehe."

"A nobleman among pirates? Hmph, if there really were a pirate like him, he would probably have been targeted by those infamous slave ships long ago, right? I've heard that some older royal ladies are quite fond of his style."

Drake's tone was somewhat sarcastic.

"Oh? Are you jealous, Captain Drake?"

Peacock stepped forward, extended her right index finger, and was about to tap Drake's cheek.

"Who...who's jealous? I don't have time for that."

Drake dodged to the side.

Beneath the black eye mask, his rugged cheeks flushed slightly.

Soon, the group arrived at the tall city gate entrance.

"So, they really are restricted from entering and leaving?"

Luo Xia stared at the massive, closed city gate, his azure eyes, tinged with a hint of blood, flickering slightly.

Is Prinsylia located within this royal city?
