Cui Ze silently put this account on Lao Leili's head.

I plan to beat this veteran pirate who has been retired for many years again one day when he is strong enough -

Well, it’s sustainable harvesting of bait!

After taking a final look at the Shampoo Islands, Cui Ze left the deck and returned alone to the cabin he had reserved in advance.

The ship arranged by Lieutenant General He is an inconspicuous medium-sized ship from the outside.

What hangs on the central mast is not the navy's iconic blue seagull flag with a white background, but a broad sail with the dark gray words "UMIT" engraved on it.

This means that this ship belongs to the Navy King, one of the kings of the dark world - Deep Current Yumit!

Before boarding the ship, Cui Ze learned the ship's voyage schedule from the ticket inspector: In addition to replenishing basic supplies, the ship will go all the way from the Shampoo Islands to Alabasta!

"UMIT Logistics Company, Shipping King Umit... This guy's company will probably be squeezed out of business by 'Baki Express' in the future..."

Cui Ze shook his head, and the names of several other kings of the dark world flashed in his mind, and they should all be providers of high-quality bait.

"Well, these people's bait is still too far away. Now let's take a look at the fishing situation after leaving the Chambord Islands."

Cui Ze took out a few F-level baits and threw them into the dimensional sea without feeling any distress.

【Fishing in progress...】

[Type of fishing harvest: items]

[F-level item: Cowhide three-cornered hat]

[Item source: "Pirates of the Caribbean" series]

[Item description: Ordinary decorations]

[Item effects: 1. Sunshade; 2. Rain protection; 3. Symbolizes the identity of a pirate to a certain extent]

[Item evaluation: Hey hat]

"Another hat?"

Cui Ze was stunned, and a shiny cowhide three-cornered hat instantly appeared in his hands. The yellow rivets were so bright that they could reflect the human form.

"But fortunately, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is always better than the Caribbean series...

"Well, it's safe anyway!"

Cui Ze calmed down.

After completely staying away from the Chambord Islands, he finally found an opportunity to fish for Class B bait!

Just when Cui Ze was planning to burn incense and take a bath to wash away his bad luck.

A "Bulu Bulu" sound suddenly sounded.

Cui Ze quickly took out two phone bugs from his pocket.

The pure white one is just an anti-eavesdropping [White Telephone Bug] that was fished on the Winter Island near the Future Kingdom, and the yellow one is a communication tool distributed by the Navy Headquarters.

Cui Ze answered the phone bug and watched the "yellow phone bug" transform into a "yellow ape"...

"Moxi Moxi~ This is Kizaru, does anyone hear you?"

Cui Ze replied in an indifferent tone: "This is Lieutenant Colonel Cui Ze Fit of the Navy Headquarters. What are your orders from Lieutenant General Porusalino?"

"Oh, Brother Cui Ze's words sound really heartless~"

Kizaru's voice came out of the phone bug's mouth.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to inform you about the ending of the incident on the Chambord Islands, and then there are arrangements for the next step of action."

Cui Ze asked: "When will my pirate bounty be issued? Does the photo look cool?"

"Well, regarding this, Brother Cui Ze, there may be a little problem."

Kizaru's voice sounded a little helpless.

"We originally planned to put you on a wanted list immediately, but King Henry Cavendish firmly denied that he wanted you. In other words, your pirate bounty will probably have to wait for a while longer."

"Henry Cavendish refuses to arrest me?"

Cui Ze was stunned, and he almost lost his composure while maintaining a cold face.

"Why? He can't be afraid of my retaliation afterwards, right?"

Kizaru said: "I'm afraid that's what it is~

"It seems that King Henry Cavendish has a great psychological shadow on you, Cui Ze~

"You have to know that I am the leader of a country in the new world. I have seen countless great pirates, but I am actually so scared by Cui Ze... I am also very surprised~"

"..."

The corners of Cui Ze's mouth twitched slightly.

What an unexpected development...

It was obviously you who asked me to play the role of a pirate!

"Then what should I do now? If I don't have to be a wanted pirate, can I report directly back to the headquarters?"

Kizaru said: "According to my discussion with Lieutenant General He, I also ask Cui Ze to continue to Alabasta...According to the intelligence from the headquarters, His Majesty Shichibu Haisha Crocodile is recruiting troops during this time. It seems that there is a big problem."

action."

"Does the headquarters want me to deal with Crocodile?"

Cui Ze suddenly felt that turning "fake pirates" into "real pirates" would be a good choice.

"Of course it's not that."

Kizaru explained.

"Krokdal is a man who can fight against monsters like Whitebeard and Barrett. And in a main venue like the desert, even if our generals take action, they may not be able to defeat him."

No!

In fact, all it takes is a newcomer kid from the East China Sea with a bounty of 30 million Baileys to bring down that sand crocodile...

Cui Ze secretly cursed.

The decline in Sand Crocodile's strength is estimated to be far beyond the imagination of everyone in the sea, including Kizaru at this time.

Kizaru added: "So, the headquarters' arrangement for Brother Cui Ze is to first investigate Crocodile's actions inside Alabasta. There is also a lieutenant general from the headquarters who will also go to Alabasta."

A figure flashed in Cui Ze's mind, "Lieutenant General Jiaji?"

Kizaru said: "Yes, it seems that Brother Cui Ze has already had contact with Jiaji..."

"It's just a one-time relationship."

Cui Ze shook his head and asked again.

"Do I need to cooperate with Lieutenant General Jiajia?"

"No need. Jiaji doesn't know the true identity of Brother Cui Ze, so there is no need to cooperate with his actions." Huang Yuan replied.

"clear!"

Cui Ze basically made clear his course of action in Alabasta: eat, drink, have fun, and do nothing serious.

"By the way, when can the headquarters hand over my Devil Fruit?"

At this time, Kizaru already knew about the [Beast's Breath] that Zefa obtained from Cui Ze, and also basically understood the effects and prospects of [Beast's Breath].

"The headquarters is testing the effect of 'Breath of the Beast', but preparations are already underway for Brother Cui Ze's Devil Fruit reward."

Kizaru revealed a piece of information to Cui Ze.

"That is an animal-type Devil Fruit. It was originally intended to be sent to Punk Hassad for experimentation."

Pangdao’s animal fruit?

Cui Ze raised his eyebrows.

Fish Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Kaido’s Son Form?

cough!

Cui Ze admitted that his idea was just nonsense.

"Red Dragon Fruit" is an artificial phantom beast type, while Kizaru is talking about "animal type".

Cui Ze couldn't wait to ask: "So when can you give me this Devil Fruit?"

"It should be soon."

Kizaru made a guarantee.

"For now, Cui Ze should focus on Alabasta."

"……I see."

Cui Ze let out a long breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

He knew that the Navy Headquarters had a huge business and its internal business processes and factional divisions were extremely complicated, not to mention that there were two unreasonable bosses, the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
