One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

The golden lion's mouth twitched, and a vein bulged on his forehead.

"Stop dreaming, Lingling. I can't satisfy your appetite. You can go ask Newgate."

"Mommy, Mommy, how do you know if you haven't tried it, Shiki?"

As Charlotte Lingling chuckled, the air on the open ground beside the three of them suddenly rippled, and a figure about three meters tall abruptly appeared before their eyes.

"Wang Zhi, you've arrived too, very good. Now, let's have a good talk about how to turn this boring world upside down! Hehehehe!"

The golden lion looked at the newcomer, and his smile grew wider and wider.

The place where the four of them were located seemed to have become completely dark.

In a distant corner, Stusi stared wide-eyed at the four people in their direction.

"This is incredible! The Rocks Pirates are about to reappear in the world."

Chapter 376 Vergo, Upholding Justice

"My God! Look! Who do I see?" Morgans' camera was clicking away.

His face was filled with the excitement of witnessing big news firsthand; his entire bird-like face was flushed red with excessive excitement.

"The legendary pirate Shiki, who disappeared seventeen years ago, has reappeared on the sea! He's reunited with Kaido of the Beasts, Charlotte Linlin, and the great Pirate King Naoto. Just thinking about this lineup is enough to make one tremble with fear. Are they trying to recreate the forbidden pirate crew that cast a shadow over the entire world decades ago? Big News! Absolutely Big News! My newspaper is going to sell like hotcakes."

Morgans, who was grinning foolishly, suddenly felt his hand lighten. He looked up and saw that the camera he was holding had fallen into the hands of the burly Charlotte Irwin, which enraged Morgans.

"Owen! What are you doing? This is my baby..."

Click!

Irving's right hand, gloved in black, quickly turned bright red, as if branded with a red-hot iron, and he crushed Morgans' camera to pieces with a snap.

Ignoring the enraged Morgans, he coldly uttered a single sentence and turned to leave.

"All information here is temporarily blocked. Let's continue with the tea party, Mr. Morgans."

"Damn it! My camera! My first big news!"

Morgans was jumping up and down, cursing loudly.

Not only him, but all the members of the Charlotte family around him had their communication devices confiscated by the approaching pirates, and were told that they were not allowed to leave Whole Cake Island for the time being.

Meanwhile, the inner bay outside Whole Cake Island was also blocked by a large number of pirate ships, and large jamming Den Den Mushi used to interfere with normal Den Den Mushi communications were held high and placed in various corners of Whole Cake Island by the pirates.

In the heart of Whole Cake Island, amidst the shattered ruins, Stusi, who had just pulled a Den Den Mushi from her bosom, felt a terrifying killing intent lock onto her, causing her delicate body to tremble and her head to turn stiffly.

"Little girl, tell me, what do you want to do?"

The golden lion flew over, a cigar in its mouth, looking down at Stussy from above. The shadow cast by its tall body enveloped Stussy's petite frame, bringing her immense pressure.

Stussy forced himself to calm down, turned his head to look at Charlotte Linlin behind the Golden Lion, and forced a gentle smile.

"I didn't do anything. I was just worried about Lingling, so I came to check on her."

From a distance, Charlotte Linlin noticed this and immediately became somewhat displeased.

"Huh? Shiki! What are you doing? Stussy is a VIP at my tea party and also my good sister. Don't do anything reckless."

As he spoke, he walked over here with Kaido and Wang Zhi.

"Your best friend?" Golden Lion reached into his mouth, took out the cigar, blew a puff of smoke in Stusi's face, and grinned. "She is indeed your best friend, Lingling. However, I'm a little curious about her name."

He looked at Stussy, whose face was growing increasingly stiff, with amusement in his eyes.

“Miss Bakkin, when did you change your name? Stusi, hehehehe, interesting.”

Upon hearing the name Bakkin, Stussy's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

In their line of sight, behind the Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and Wang Zhi, all with puzzled expressions, were approaching step by step.

Seeing the mockery in the Golden Lion's eyes and the interest on his face, Stusi's heart sank to the bottom.

"I never expected to be recognized by the Golden Lion, damn it."

Stussy, whose true identity is an undercover CP0 agent, is watching his identity being exposed.

Without the slightest hesitation, his clothes were instantly ripped apart by two expanding bat wings, and four sharp fangs sprouted from his mouth.

Her petite figure swayed in place, and then she transformed into a sharp arrow, soaring into the sky dozens of meters high and flying rapidly towards the sea outside Cake Island.

Watching Stussy fly away at high speed, the Golden Lion did not pursue him, but simply watched.

Just then, Charlotte Linlin appeared in front of him, looking at Stussy, who had sprouted a pair of bat wings and flew away quickly, with a puzzled expression. "Ski, what did you just say about Bakkin?"

“Lingling, didn’t you notice that the woman just now looked a lot like that greedy woman, Barkin, who used to cling to Newgate?” Golden Lion retorted.

"Stusi and Bakkin?" The woman thought for a moment, then nodded. "Now that you mention it, they do look somewhat alike. But Stusi is so young; if Bakkin were still alive, she'd be an old woman by now, wouldn't she?"

“Yes, so I just asked casually.” A playful look appeared on Golden Lion’s face. “The little girl couldn’t take it and flew away immediately. It seems that those cunning guys in the Navy have played a good hand right under your nose.”

"What? You're saying Stussy is a Navy spy?" The old woman's face instantly darkened. She grabbed in front of her with her large hand, and a ball of flame with a face appeared out of thin air, rapidly growing larger, about to transform into a cloud of fire to lift her up.

At that moment, Wang Zhi, an old man with a long beard, a thin face, and wearing a blue robe, who was standing beside them, slowly drew a white long sword from his waist. In a flash, he disappeared from the sight of the three of them.

Swish!

Thousands of meters away in the sky, Stussy, who was fleeing Cake Island at top speed, suddenly changed his expression, flipped over, and a layer of dark domineering aura spread rapidly across his body.

puff!

Blood splattered as a narrow-bladed longsword, gleaming coldly, swiftly pierced her abdomen, leaving a trail of blood on Stussy's body.

"Wang Zhi!"

Stussy gritted his teeth, his domineering aura covering his entire body, his aura suddenly expanding by a circle, his wide bat wings flapping wildly behind him, his speed soaring, leaving a black line in the air as he fled rapidly into the distance.

In the air, Wang Zhi, who had suddenly appeared, did not continue the pursuit. He silently sheathed his long sword and flashed back to Kaido and the others.

The Golden Lion and his companions were used to his speed and ignored him, following the old woman toward the intact houses on the island.

At the port, Katakuri glanced up at Stussy as she flew away, then turned to the pirate beside him and ordered, "Send men after her, don't let her have a chance to land."

"Yes, brother Katakuri!" A dozen or so members of the Charlotte family immediately obeyed and left.

three days later.

New World Naval Branch, G5 Base.

The naval soldiers on guard duty at the base spotted the dark silhouettes of several ships appearing on the sea at the edge of their line of sight.

Immediately, some people picked up binoculars and began to observe.

When the marines spotted the red-lipped skull and crossbones flags embroidered on the ships, an indescribable panic surged through them, and without hesitation, they blew the whistles hanging around their necks.

"Alert! Alert! Big Mom Pirates spotted!"

The sharp whistle quickly turned into a loud bell, echoing throughout the entire G5 island, startling the marines training at the base and the naval officers working there.

However, the scenario of the navy quickly and neatly assembling to defend against the approaching pirates did not materialize.

On the contrary, the burly marines, with their roguish smiles and curses, slowly packed up their weapons and equipment under the urging of their officers, crowding together in a chaotic mess, laughing and joking as they headed toward the naval port.

Upon seeing this, the marines on guard duty couldn't help but show anger on their faces and muttered under their breath, "These marines from the G5 branch are a disgrace to our navy. They're a bunch of scoundrels and don't deserve to be called righteous marines."

The marines on guard duty were recently transferred from headquarters.

Before he came, he had heard about the bad reputation of the navy in the G5 branch.

He thought he was mentally prepared, but when he got here, he found that the situation was even worse than he had imagined.

Rather than calling the navy at G5 a force representing justice, it's more accurate to describe them as a group of thugs who are more like pirates than actual pirates.

“That’s right. If it weren’t for Vice Admiral Vergo being so capable, G5 would have been a complete mess because of these bastards.” Another marine chimed in.

In front of the naval port, amidst the chaotic group of marines, Commodore Billy, wearing shorts and exposing his chest hair, frowned as he looked at the sparse group of marines in front of him. He then kicked several marines who were arm in arm, sending them screaming in pain.

"You bunch of useless trash! Get your weapons ready and prepare to fight! If you fail to defend G5 base properly, I'll see how Lieutenant General Vergo deals with you!"

The marines, who had been kicked a few times by Billy and were harboring some resentment, immediately became much more obedient upon hearing the name of Vice Admiral Vergo. They rushed to the port's fortifications, set up their cannons and flintlock muskets in front of the gun emplacements, and looked at the five pirate ships that were gradually approaching.

Just as Billy was about to take out the binoculars clipped to his waist, he heard gasps of surprise from the marines around him.

Then, a blood-soaked figure fell from the sky and crashed onto the hard rocky ground with a thud.

Billy heard the cracking sound of bones breaking, and wondered how many bones the woman who fell from the sky had broken.

"Wow...what a beautiful woman, that figure is amazing, slurp."

Amidst gasps and gasps of surprise, Billy roughly shoved aside the marines blocking his way, walked up to Stussy, whose bat wings were gradually retracting into her body, and frowned, asking, "What is this woman? A pirate?"

"No, I know this woman, hehehe." Several marines with lewd smiles squeezed in front of Billy from the crowd, their greedy eyes scanning Stussy's exposed fair skin as they chuckled, "This woman is Stussy, the Queen of Pleasure Street. I saw her advertisement in the World News Agency's newspaper."

“Queen Stussy of Pleasure Street?” Billy raised an eyebrow, squatted down and got closer, saw a sign that Stussy was clutching tightly in her hand, and immediately reached out and took it.

The moment he saw the sign, Biliqi's expression changed.

He recognized the ID badge.

To prevent friendly fire incidents during maritime operations, all naval officers of the rank of colonel or above are authorized to access relevant information.

"This is the identity badge of CP0, the world government's most powerful intelligence agency."

Billy immediately summoned several marines to take the seriously injured and unconscious Stussy back to base for treatment. He then took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and was about to make a call when he saw a square-faced man wearing sunglasses, with lightning-shaped sideburns on his profile and a piece of bread stuck to his cheek. He was carrying a bamboo stick and was walking towards them through the parted crowd.

Upon seeing the person approaching, he quickly ran forward with his CP0 ID card in hand.

"Lieutenant General Vergo! This woman is from CP0."

“CP0?” Vergo’s eyes flickered slightly behind his sunglasses. He silently put Stussy’s ID tag into his pocket and nodded. “Have the medics do everything they can to save her. I want to see her when she wakes up.”

"Yes!"

Vergo strode up the manicured defensive walls of the harbor, squinting at the six pirate ships whose flags were now visible.

At this distance, the pirate flag embroidered on the sails of the opposite ship, featuring red lips and a captain's hat, immediately came into clear view of him.

The marines on the sentry post were not mistaken; the newcomers were indeed pirates from Big Mom's crew.

Are these pirates here to chase Stusi?

Did Stussy's identity get exposed, or did she discover some big secret about Big Mom?

As he watched the approaching pirate ship, Vergo was thinking about how to use Stussy's secret identity to further elevate his status within the Navy.

More than a decade ago, he was entrusted with an important mission by Doflamingo: to infiltrate the Navy as an undercover agent.
