Chapter 85 Next mission: Fishman Island? Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?
The following morning, in the captain's cabin of the pirate ship.
Brian was examining the nautical chart, and on the table in front of him, a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) showed that a call was connected.
"Hahaha, Brian, you always manage to give me huge surprises."
"How long has it been? How long has it been? You've already wiped out the entire Green Pepper Pirates, and not just any pirate crew, but the whole crew!"
"It's not much different from when you defeated the Navy and kidnapped a Celestial Dragon a while ago."
Unbeknownst to him, Rox's opinion of Brian had risen even higher once again.
He has reached a level almost equal to that of Whitebeard and his ilk, just a little bit short.
Although they are both members of the Rocks Pirates' four top officers, Brian has only been a member for a few months.
How could they possibly be compared to these other three high-ranking officers under Locke? That's impossible.
However, Brian's performance over the past few months has indeed been too outstanding.
First, he joined forces with Shiki to defeat the Sengoku-led naval fleet, which greatly shocked the world.
To Rocks's even greater surprise, they did something unprecedented.
They actually managed to capture a Celestial Dragon alive.
Whose general is this, so brave?
Oh, it's Lord Rocks. Well, that's alright then.
Rocks said, "Having subordinates like this is really great!"
During that time, Rocks couldn't help but wonder to himself if he was just too lucky.
The subsequent deals with the Celestial Dragons were even more tempting for Rocks; so many good things made him quite eager to acquire them.
However, as the boss, he wouldn't stoop so low as to steal credit and spoils from his subordinates; that would be beneath him.
Unexpectedly, in this transaction, Brian, together with three other senior officers, once again inflicted a major defeat on the Navy.
This time, they even killed two naval admirals.
Oh my, double happiness! Rocks was overjoyed.
Although the Roger Pirates incident annoyed him for several days afterward, it couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
Unexpectedly, this time, because of Atlan Island, Brian brought him another big surprise.
Rocks had naturally heard of the Green Pepper Pirates. Although they were nowhere near as powerful as the Rocks Pirates, they were still a mainstay among the pirates of the New World and their strength was not bad.
His initial expectations for Brian's mission were simply to drive away the Green Pepper Pirates and reclaim the island.
Unexpectedly, Brian wiped out the entire Chinjao Pirates, along with so many other pirates on the island.
Such skill and the kingly demeanor are growing stronger every day.
With such capable subordinates who have never overstepped their bounds since joining the pirate crew, what leader wouldn't like them?
Anyway, Rocks really liked it, and his status had to be elevated.
Of course, no matter where he went, the old guys under Lox's command still held a higher status in his search.
Especially Whitebeard; the two had known each other for many years, and Rocks could even entrust his back to Whitebeard.
This is an incredibly rare form of trust.
This is the "Second Brother" wielding a Guan Dao!
Getting back to the point, when Brian heard Rocks's generous praise on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, he readily accepted it.
"The Chinjao Pirates are indeed quite strong overall, especially their leader Chinjao, who left a deep impression on me."
"The Eight Treasures Navy is quite strong overall, and it's not much different from the elite navy."
"The Land of Flowers truly lives up to its reputation as one of the world's great powers; it certainly has a rich cultural heritage."
"Hahaha, you're right, the Flower Country is indeed quite powerful."
With a casual remark, Rocks revealed a secret of the Flower Kingdom.
"However, the Flower Kingdom is currently embroiled in internal strife, and its strength is declining further."
"Especially since you wiped out the Chinjao Pirates this time, it's a huge blow to the Flower Country."
-
"After that, it would be good enough if the Flower Kingdom could maintain its national strength and not be divided up by other forces."
Although the Locus people were not in the Western Sea, they had almost complete knowledge of the intelligence about it.
After all, with a top-notch intelligence agent like Shakky under Mordor, it would be hard not to know about her.
"Internal strife? Isn't the current emperor of the Flower Kingdom a queen?"
"It's the Queen. She's the only daughter of the former king; otherwise, she wouldn't have been the emperor."
"It's a pity, her reign as queen was truly stifling, as her power was constantly being divided up."
"Captain, you seem quite interested in the Flower Country, do you have some plans?"
"Hahahaha, what are you thinking? My biggest thought about the Flower Country is its flower wine. It's really delicious."
"Unfortunately, this is a special wine supplied by the World Government and rarely leaks overseas. I've only had it a few times myself."
No pirate dislikes drinking, and Rocks was no exception.
Having tasted most of the world's finest wines, the flower wines of the Flower Kingdom are among the best in his heart.
Unfortunately, those bastards, the Celestial Dragons, would rather squander these special-supply wines than allow more of them to appear outside the palace.
This is an insult to God.
"Then why not find an opportunity to cause trouble in the West Sea?"
"Anyway, nowadays, the Flower Country only has a few old ladies and a handful of cats left."
"How did you know I'd already started taking action?"
"Oh? So, Captain, are we planning something big?"
"The West Blue is the World Government and Navy's private territory, so it's not a good place to make a move."
Brian immediately perked up. Could this old guy really be planning to attack the Flower Kingdom because of the flower wine?
If that's true, that would be incredibly exciting.
"Hahaha, don't be in such a hurry, we won't make a move anytime soon."
"It's not suitable to carry out large-scale operations in the West Sea in the short term. I have other plans for the future."
Rocks cleverly changed the subject, leaving only a hook.
"Alright, remember to call me if there are any events. I really want to visit the West Sea."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll never forget you guys."
"In that case, we'll talk about the rest when you get back."
Just as Lockes was about to hang up, Brian interrupted him.
"Wait a minute, Captain."
"What's wrong?"
"What's my next task? I have some things to take care of, so I won't be back anytime soon."
"Oh, I see. Wait a moment."
Rocks' voice vanished instantly, and he was gone.
After a while, he reappeared, and the Den Den Mushi opened its eyes again.
"Since you're not in a hurry to come back, why don't you go to Fishman Island later?"
"Fishman Island?"
Brian's voice suddenly sounded somewhat surprised.
Is that really such a coincidence?
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Rocks was a little confused. It was just Fishman Island, why such a big reaction?
"It's alright, it's alright. Tell me about the mission, Captain."
"What mission do you need me to perform on Fishman Island?"
Brian had assumed it would be like this time, wiping out a group of pirates or something.
What Rocks said the next second took him completely by surprise!
