I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

She had only ever seen such overwhelming strength from Diamond, the head of the strategic investment department.

"Sajin, you're really lucky to have survived a mere messenger!"

Toppa patted Sand Gold on the shoulder and sighed.

I knew before that alluvial gold was lucky, but I never imagined I'd be this lucky.

It should be understood that the difference between a courier and an ordinary traveler on the path of destiny is as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

If we consider ordinary Fate Walkers who explode into stars as strong, then...

That envoy is an entity capable of influencing an entire galaxy.

"I must say, you guys are really lucky this time. A Commander, an unknown Commander. If we could bring him to our Strategic Investment Department, what do you think would be like?"

At this moment, Jade suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing Jade's words, Toppa and Sand Gold realized that this was an opportunity.

It's important to understand that the influence of a Commander is not to be underestimated.

Their leader is a Commander, so the Strategic Investment Department is considered one of the top departments in the company.

His status as a Diamond Envoy also made a significant contribution to his selection as a candidate for the board of directors.

Of course, even so, relying solely on the identity of a messenger is far from enough.

But what if there are two messengers?

If we can win over this unofficial envoy, we don't need to tie her to the strategic investment department; we can simply befriend her.

Even so, this identity can help Diamond win more votes from the board of directors.

“Recently, Diamond has been interested in starting with Talavan. If we can win over that envoy, Talavan will probably be willing to bet his vote on us!”

Talavan is the company's other authorized guardian besides diamonds.

If they can secure the Talavana vote, it would be a huge investment for the Strategic Investment Department.

Taravan, diamonds, and that unknown messenger.

If the three envoys are connected to the Strategic Investment Department, then the Strategic Investment Department can basically do whatever it wants in the company from now on.

The thought of such a future made Toppa and Sand Gold serious.

"But that person also attacked gold mines before. Is she really willing to cooperate with us?"

At this point, Toppa asked with some concern.

After all, judging from her attack on the gold mine, it didn't seem very friendly.

"So the result is that she didn't take the gold's life, which makes it worth talking about!"

But there's a different perspective on jade.

If the envoy truly didn't want to be disturbed, he could have simply killed Sand Gold.

This was a piece of cake for the messenger.

But she didn't, which was something to talk about in Jade's eyes!

Volume 1: Chapter 118 Cocolia's Decision

"Of course, facing a Commander might be a bit too early for you. If you don't want to make contact, that's fine too."

Considering the gap between the envoy and Toppa and Sand Gold, Emerald was not particularly keen for the two of them to come into contact with the envoy.

"It's alright, we will definitely complete the mission. Just wait for our good news!"

But Toppa gritted his teeth and accepted the task.

"Then I'll leave it to you two. If it really can't be done, then we can just give up on this mission!"

After giving Toppa some instructions, Emerald hung up the phone.

As the screen in front of him went black, Topa let out a deep breath.

Although he had readily agreed, Topa was still a little nervous about facing a messenger.

"Gold dust, what do you think we should do?"

After thinking for a moment, Toppa decided to ask Sand Gold's opinion.

"No, you promised Ms. Emerald, why are you dragging me into this?"

Sand Gold said somewhat innocently.

"Once it's done, this deal will be on your tab!"

"make a deal!"

Upon hearing Topa's reward, Sand Gold's expression changed drastically, causing Topa to roll his eyes.

They want to take advantage of every little thing.

"Let's see if we can find the messenger inside the Belleburg first!"

In the entire city of Arillow, only Beloborg is still inhabited.

If nothing unexpected happens, that envoy should also be living here.

"Sajin, you're the only one who's seen that envoy. Could you please describe her appearance? I'll send my men to look for her!"

"no problem!"

Upon hearing this, Sand Gold nodded in agreement.

Then, he recalled Huang Quan's appearance in his mind.

But suddenly Sand Gold paused, then looked at Toppa with some embarrassment.

"Hey Toppa, I have some bad news for you~"

"What bad news?"

At this moment, Toppa was manipulating the screen in front of him, issuing a missing person search request to all company employees in Belleburg.

Hearing Sand Gold's words, he replied without even looking up.

"I seem to have forgotten what that envoy looked like."

Upon hearing this, Toppa paused involuntarily while typing, staring at the gold dust in disbelief.

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

Do you think I would joke at a time like this?

A bitter smile appeared on Sand Gold's lips.

When he carefully recalled the envoy's appearance, he suddenly found that the man's image was becoming increasingly blurry in his memory.

Aside from knowing it was a woman, Sand Gold couldn't think of any other information at this point.

"Gold dust, do you think it's appropriate to say that now?"

Without a specific target, how did they find the messenger in Belleburg?

"Actually, I have another plan!"

"any solution?"

"That envoy attacked the company's ship twice, clearly not wanting to be disturbed. If we deploy a ship over Belloberg, do you think it might attract that envoy?"

"That's a good idea, but where will we get our spaceship?"

Upon hearing this, Sand Gold revealed a sly smile.

"I heard that Opal recently bought a new spaceship. If I ask him to lend it to me, he might agree!"

"Aren't you really afraid that Opal will curse you to death afterward?!"

By adopting this method, the two had essentially agreed to sacrifice the spaceship used as bait.

If Opal finds out that the two of them used his spaceship as bait, isn't he afraid that he'll make things difficult for them later?

"If we can bring that envoy to our side, then even if Opal has any resentment, he'll probably have to keep it to himself!"

"You really have a twisted sense of humor!"

Toppa looked at the gold dust in front of him with a strange expression.

"So, are you in or not? All or nothing!"

"Of course we'll do it!"

After all, Toppa was overjoyed to receive an extra spaceship as compensation for his own.

After making up their minds, the two quickly contacted Opal.

When Opal heard that Toppa had mentioned the gold-bearing sandstone, he immediately asked to borrow the spaceship, even though he felt there was something wrong with it.

But seeing the two Stonehearts bow their heads in response, Opal felt a secret thrill.

So he waved his hand and lent his spaceship to the two of them.

Just as Toppa and the Goldpowder Project were leading to the underworld, the place was in complete chaos inside Cripper Castle.

The suggestions that Toppa had made earlier were now being communicated to all the ministers and officials at Cocolia's behest.

The debate over whether or not to become a company employee has essentially split into two camps.

One faction believes that the company's strength far surpasses Belloberg's, and they have no right to refuse. Given Belloberg's current situation, they should agree.

The other faction believes that the people of Beloborg, who were not defeated by the rift creatures of seven hundred years under such difficult circumstances, are now forced to live under someone else's roof, which is truly unwilling.

Neither faction was willing to give in.

Even in front of Cocolia, they still argued heatedly.

Looking at the conference room, which resembled a bustling marketplace, Bronya, who had just returned from guard duty at the city gate, let out a deep sigh.

Both sides have their own reasons, and neither side is wrong.

Therefore, Cocolia is now very hesitant about which side to listen to.

The meeting went on until midnight without reaching any conclusion.

Cocolia eventually told everyone to go back because it was too late, and they would discuss it again the next day.

"Bronya, if it were you, which side would you choose?"

After everyone had left, Cocolia asked her daughter with a headache.

Upon hearing this, Bronya's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"I have no idea!"

Bronya was unsure how to make such a crucial decision.

"Does Mother have any plans?"

Cocolia shook her head at this and said with a bitter expression.

"I do not know either!"

After all, this concerns Belloberg's future, which makes Cocolia have to consider it carefully.

After thinking for a moment, Cocolia made her decision.

"Let's not look for a time anymore, Bronya, you should go and rest too!"

"Hey?"

Bronya was taken aback upon hearing this, wondering why her mother had suddenly told her to go and rest.

However, considering that it was indeed quite late, Bronya nodded.

Once Cocolia was the only one left in the office, she slowly stood up from her position as the Great Guardian.

However, after leaving the office, Cocolia did not return to her room as usual.

Instead, he went to the kitchen himself, took a bottle of red wine and two glasses, and then walked towards a certain room.

Upon reaching the door of that room, Cocolia took a deep breath and then knocked.

Not long after, Luffy's voice came from inside.
