From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

But this time it was Spandine who came forward in person. Given Spandine's relationship, he would certainly not be betrayed by his "sister" Stussy.

Therefore, Dorag did not receive any intelligence this time.

After a brief pause, Spandine said with some distress, "It's all my fault for being so outstanding over the years that those five masters took a fancy to me. They personally arranged things for me. Do you think I have the right to refuse?"

Although Spandine had already surrendered to Diarmait, as long as Diarmait did not quarrel with Marijoa, Spandine had to listen to Marijoa's words.

This time, his coming to Alabasta was also arranged by the Five Elders themselves.

Just as he said, over the years, Spandine has performed relatively well in the CP agency, and was eventually entrusted with important tasks by the Five Elders.

Are you kidding? How could he not be excellent?

Spandine is actually a very capable person, but his character is a bit bad.

And in the CP agency, he has the Queen as his strong backer, and can privately rely on the power of the Navy Admiral Diarmuid in the outside world. No matter what he does, he can get three points of the solution just by relying on his face. If he is not a waste, he will perform very well in this situation.

It was precisely because of his outstanding performance that he caught the attention of the Five Elders this time, and they assigned him a very difficult task.

Of course, difficulties are also opportunities. If he performs well this time, he will definitely be promoted and make a fortune. In all likelihood, he will join CP-0 and become a senior operations commander, following the path of Stussy.

Foz. F rolled his eyes at Spandine upon hearing this. Lately, due to Spandine's favoritism, his personal relationship with Spandine had become closer, no longer the rigid relationship of superior and subordinate as before.

"Is it because you're too good that you're troubled? My lord, I want to experience the same kind of trouble you have," Foz-Fou complained.

"Hahahaha." Spandane laughed a triumphant laugh, then stood on tiptoe and patted Foz on the shoulder. "You're still a long way off."

After laughing, Spandine straightened his face and said, "Let's go to the rainy land first and meet that Crocodile. We must convey the will of the five masters to him."

Having said that, Spandine paused again and said with a hint of helplessness, "Let's just take it one step at a time. I hope Crocodile can be more reliable. If he's powerful enough, I won't have to worry about him anymore."

Fuzz. Fu Ze quickly ordered the younger brothers behind him, "Quick, have you noticed? Didn't the adults say we're going to the rainy land? Go rent a camel caravan."

Foz. F gave his younger brother an order, and Spandane was very satisfied. He then taught by example, "Let me tell you, I can't tell you anything about your strength. Fortunately, you are also very hardworking, so work harder. Now you are lucky to have been favored by Admiral Diarmuid. As your boss, of course I wish you the best. After this ticket is completed, I might go to CP-0. Who will I leave CP-9 to then? I originally planned to give it to my disappointing son, but now that the bastard has been sent to the navy, I feel relieved and don't have to worry about him. This CP-9 is the base of Lord Stussy's subordinates. It can't be given to outsiders. When the time comes, it will definitely be handed over to you. When you become the commander of CP-9, you must use your brain in everything. You can't just rely on your skills and just fight and kill. Do you understand?"

This was the first time Foz.F had clearly heard from Spandine that CP-9 would be handed over to him in the future. Promotion and wealth were certainly a good thing, so Foz.F was very happy and said, "Yes, sir, I will definitely protect our base when the time comes..."

Just as G-7 is Diarmait's base, CP-9 is the Queen's private territory within the CP agency, and only direct descendants can enter.

"Well, let me explain a little more. When it comes to doing things, you first have to choose the right people to work with. Just like this time, although there were many difficulties, if you had a good partner with aligned interests, it would have been much easier. I think Crocodile is quite capable. Who knows, he might be able to surprise us and solve this seemingly difficult problem. Based on my experience, in our line of work, you first have to learn how to leverage opportunities. We have plenty of opportunities, since we have people above us. The key is to choose well..." Spandane chattered to Foz-Fou about his experiences as he walked towards the port terminal.

Fuzzy F followed Spandine, listening very carefully.

As Spandine's current confidant, Foz knew that his superior, while mediocre, still had some skills. He was a man of real ability, and now that he was willing to teach, he was naturally willing to listen. After the two men walked a little further away, several more agents slowly followed. One of them stroked his chin and said, "How am I inferior to the boss? I wish Lord Spandine would choose me as the next commander."

"The fact that you know he is the leader proves that you are not mentally retarded, Gabra." A sharp-tongued woman complained.

"Hey, Khalifa, who are you with? We are friends who came out of the orphanage together!" Gabra cursed.

"I also think that Tiger is more suitable to be the next commander than you." Kaku with a long nose followed.

That’s right, these 2.9 CP-9 agents who fell behind were none other than Lucci’s friends in the original story.

They are Kalifa, Gabra, Kaku, Otonashi, and Bruno.

Originally, Lucci should have grown up in an orphanage like them, and established a deep relationship with them since childhood. After the Judicial Island incident, the few of them were able to stick together for warmth in the face of difficulties and finally turn things around.

But now, Lucci was led astray by Diarmait when he was very young. Although several people should know each other, so many years have passed and they no longer have much impression of him.

Lucci did not join CP-9, but the others still entered CP-9 step by step, and with their own outstanding talents, they became middle-level personnel in CP-9.

"When you are able to defeat Tiger, maybe you will have a chance to compete for the position of commander." Bruno said with a smile.

"Hey, hey, you guys are so heartless. Have you forgotten who helped you fight when you were bullied in the welfare home?" Gabra complained.

Although the werewolf Gabra was often "beaten up" by a group of them, and it seemed that their relationship was not very good, in fact, the relationship between them was very close, the kind of friendship that could be trusted with life and death.

This is also a very rare situation in the dark organization of the CP.

Chapter 337 Facing Crocodile, I, Spandine, will strike hard!

When Spandine arrived at the rainy land.

In fact, Dragon has already successfully reached a cooperation agreement with Nefertari Cobra, the King of Alabasta.

After a week of thinking and deliberation, Cobra finally realized how helpless his situation was.

It is clearly one of the more than 170 member states.

It is clearly one of the most powerful military powers in the world.

He clearly possesses the most noble bloodline of the kingdom at present.

But unfortunately, Cobra was isolated and helpless, and he had a bad relationship with Mary Geoise. He did have a strong army in the country, and the capital had more than 600,000 standing troops, but the problem was that the country was too large, and there were many rebel forces, including many powerful sand bandits.

There is also the old bastard Crocodile inside.

Cobra deeply felt the inadequacy of his own abilities and skills.

He must form an alliance with a force with sufficient capabilities, perhaps to overcome this difficulty.

But like Dorag said, he had no choice.

When the Songming Army appeared in Albana, and when Dorag saw Cobra in person, Cobra actually had no choice but to grasp Dorag as a life-saving straw.

In the rainy land, inside the Yuyan Casino.

Spandine and Foz F, led by a servant, were entering the underground office of Yuyan.

As for agents like Kalifa, they had already disappeared into Alabasta, collecting intelligence from various locations.

Wrapped in a fur cloak, Spandine looked quite imposing. He surveyed his surroundings along the way, nodding occasionally.

"I've heard that Rain Feast is known as the most luxurious casino in the first half of the Grand Line, and it certainly seems to be," Spandine said. Fuzz. Foz followed up, "Maybe business will falter after a while. Have you heard of Golden City?"

"Of course I've heard of it. It was done by Smoker, one of the Four Emperors. Mary Geoise specially approved the Golden City as a neutral zone. Even if Dragon appeared in the Golden City, I guess I wouldn't be able to do anything. I really don't know how much benefit Smoker gave to Mary Geoise?" Spandane smacked his lips.

As if he could actually catch Dorag.

Although the Golden City has not yet opened and is not yet completed.

But it will be soon. The related fishing boat offensive has already been launched around the world with the help of Morgans.

All the wealthy and powerful nobles have heard of the Golden City.

Tezoro's policy is very simple. His Golden City is specifically for serving rich people. If you have money, you are the boss in the Golden City. If you don't have money, sorry, you don't even have the qualifications to enter.

Due to the aggressive approach of Golden City, entertainment cities, gambling cities and other related industries around the world have been affected to some extent.

However, due to the huge power behind the Golden City, they had no good solution and could only hope that problems would arise in the Golden City itself.

"So once Golden City opens, Yuyan will definitely be greatly impacted. I hope Crocodile doesn't mind," said Foz.F. with a smile.

"If we succeed this time, he definitely won't care, because he will either become the Desert King of Alabasta, or spend the rest of his miserable life in Impelton, hehe..." Spandane smiled evilly.

The servant who was leading him in front looked a little embarrassed. He wondered if there would be any problems after hearing this.

When they arrived at the third underground floor of Yuyan, the servant stopped moving forward because the place ahead was a place he was not qualified to go to.

In front of the corridor on the third underground floor, a beautiful woman was leaning against the wall, seemingly waiting for Spandine and the others. She was Nico Robin, Crocodile's most trusted deputy.

"Sir..." The servant hurried forward after seeing Robin.

Robin waved his hand casually and said, "Okay, go and do your thing." "Yes, sir." The servant replied and then left quickly.

Only then did Robin look at Spandine and Foz, who were also observing her. She smiled and said, "The mysterious CP-9?" Spandine looked slightly puzzled. He felt that the woman before him looked very familiar, but upon closer inspection, it seemed like an illusion.

Robin's eyes held a tinge of reminiscence and regret, even a hint of resentment, but in the end, that resentment vanished. At this moment, Spandine's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise, "It's you, O'Hara..."

However, before he finished speaking, he realized that he had lost his composure and immediately stopped talking. After a slight pause, he said in a deep voice, "Traitor?"

Spanda had already recognized this woman by now. This woman who looked familiar but had no impression of him was the one he had met in O'Hara under the orders of General Diarmait... Well, Diarmait was still a lieutenant general at that time.

The little girl who was ordered to be sent to the navy ship was, if he remembered correctly, Nicole Robin. He later learned that this Nicole Robin was the daughter of the scholar Olbia.

It is even possible that she was a scholar, even though she was only eight years old at the time.

However, Spandine never told anyone about these things, so everyone just pretended not to know.

As for what happened to the last survivor of O'Hara after following General Diarmait, he was very tactful and never asked or investigated. This was a smart move.

But at this time, the little girl who should have followed General Diarmait into a new life had grown into an adult and was standing in front of him. She was still under Crocodile's command, which made Spandane very surprised and confused.

He naturally suspected that Robin had betrayed General Diarmait.

"Oh my, did you recognize me? The demon who destroyed O'Hara..." Robin said softly.

"You should be thanking me for saving your life. As for destroying O'Hara, that was just a normal mission in my career." Spandine said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

Robin did not argue with Spandine. O'Hara, O'Hara... That year, when O'Hara was destroyed, she was only eight years old. If it weren't for her later experiences, perhaps O'Hara would have become an eternal pain in her heart and an invisible spiritual pillar?

But now, she has changed a lot after all. She has been subtly influenced by the navy's ideas since she was a child, and her view of O'Hara has indeed changed a bit.

Even though she didn't feel that O'Hara deserved it, she really didn't want to think about the complicated O'Hara incident anymore.

Maybe this is also a kind of escape.

Right now, the only person she cared about was her mother, Olbia, who was imprisoned in Impelton.

"It wasn't you, Spandine, who saved my life, but that admiral," Robin said softly. Spandine's eyes changed slightly, and he whispered, "Who are you?"

Robin did not answer immediately, but asked: "I remember you, not only because of O'Hara, but also because you seem to be the admiral's man?" "I belong to CP-9 under Mary Geoise, which is an organization of the same level as the Navy... Don't talk nonsense." Spandine retorted without hesitation.

It was precisely this rebuttal that made Robin nod and say, "That should be correct." Spandine's expression did not change, as if he was waiting for something.

Then, as expected, Robin spoke: "Member of the Naval Intelligence Department, number 1502, codename 'Scholar'." Spandine still did not speak, but just nodded.

After he leaves the Rain Banquet, he can confirm the situation with General Diarmait, so there is no need to ask anything here.

As for why Robin revealed her identity to Spandine so easily, it was not because she had lost her mind, but because she had indeed confirmed with Diarmait that this guy was someone she could trust.

There was no intelligence discussion here. Spandine planned to wait until he understood the situation before trying again to see if he could make contact.

I met Nicole Robin here, and this woman revealed her identity as a navy. Does that mean that Admiral Diarmait might have some plans here as well?

In short, after figuring out the situation, he will have to contact the admiral and ask him how to do things in Alabasta.

The water here is getting more and more muddy.

Under Robin's guidance, Spandine walked into the third underground floor without saying a word, and soon arrived at Crocodile's office.

When he and Foz F entered the office, they saw Crocodile sitting at his desk, a cigar between his teeth, looking at them with a somewhat defiant look.

"CP-9, the rumored non-existent agency, the running dog of the World Righteousness... right?" Crocodile said to Spandine in a very impolite tone.

Spandine showed no sign of anger. He glanced at the Banana Crocodile wandering around, then looked at Crocodile and said, "That's right, but if you're talking about a lackey, aren't you one of them? One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...Sand Crocodile. Crocodile, sir?"
