Chapter 115: The White Town in the North Sea
North Sea, Ferefence.
As part of the communication, Kevin set out from Marinford to the North Sea in advance to meet with Spandine, who was in charge of the operation.
This white town, which is very famous even in the North Sea, still exudes prosperity and wealth.
These... come from the amber mine, and will eventually be recovered because of it.
In the private room of the bar, Spandane and Kevin sat opposite each other.
"Is business bad recently? Why are there fewer and fewer ships passing through the channel recently?"
Spandine poured Kevin a drink.
The financial sponsor in front of him had brought him a lot of wealth in the past few years.
Every cargo ship that passes through a special channel thanks to his network of connections will bring him considerable benefits.
However, in recent times, the number of cargo ships passing through has obviously decreased, and correspondingly, his Baileys have also decreased a lot.
Kevin took the wine glass and took a sip: "With more and more pirates, the demand for weapons and supplies from various countries is also increasing, but people who want to share the food are also emerging."
Share food?
"boom."
Spandine knocked down his wine glass. "It's a little difficult to share the food with us. If it's not convenient for you to do it, I can help you get rid of them."
There has been some rumors from higher up recently that he might get a promotion soon.
He has spent enough time in CP9 and Judicial Island, and this time is a real opportunity for him.
At such a critical moment, Bailey's role is unquestionable. After all, new and novel things also cost money.
Kevin shook his head slightly. "He's a little guy from the North Sea. He has a special identity and is very slippery and runs very fast. Besides, neither you nor I can kill him even if we catch him."
"Can't kill?"
Spandine could not deny: "Except for the world's nobles, no one can stop us!"
Kevin glanced at him and said, "You guessed it right, it's a Celestial Dragon. Although he is a Celestial Dragon who can no longer enter Mary Geoise, as a noble in the past world, he should know something that can make the higher-ups wary."
Uh!
Spandine, who had just spoken, suddenly lost his momentum.
Compared with his son twenty years later, he was very clear about his own positioning.
As a dog with little fighting power, he must have the awareness of a dog. Even if the one who hinders the business is just an exiled celestial dragon, he still cannot touch him.
Kevin looked at him and smiled.
Although Doflamingo has not reached the top combat power and is definitely inferior to what he would be twenty years later, he is still not someone that CP9 can deal with.
As for the reduction in cargo ship transportation trade, it is naturally because the revolutionary army now has new channels.
Before this, whether it was Rem of the West Sea or Spandine of the World Government's CP9, there was no way to let them take kickbacks, but now there is no need for that.
There are no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference, which is also a good thing for the revolutionary army which is currently in need of money.
On the other hand, it's not that there is no benefit at all. After all, Vegapunk's research institute equipment still needs to be purchased through Spandine's channels, and Kevin will not save money in this regard.
Naturally, Spandine changed the subject.
He took out a small bottle and threw it directly to Kevin, with the word "prevention" written on it.
Spandine said, "I didn't tell you in advance because I didn't know you were coming. This medicine is for preventing illness. Just take one pill, but you can only stay on this island for three days."
"Three days?"
Kevin looked over with pretended confusion.
Spandine nodded. "Although no one is sure how long the symptoms caused by the amber lead will last, it is safest to leave after finishing the business. The medicine is just ordinary preventive medicine, but as long as you don't settle here, it won't be a big problem."
White town...
Kevin's eyes were somewhat deep. In his memory, apart from a few nobles, the final fate of this country might be the only one alive, Trafalgar Law.
The country became rich because of the amber mine, but was eventually destroyed because of the amber mine. The people of this country were victims of the upper class and the nobles.
It's similar to metal poisoning, and there's no cure.
"You don't look like someone who would put himself in danger," Kevin responded casually.
Spandine sighed helplessly: "The source of funds on your side has decreased. I am in a critical period recently, so I can only come to this country and try to take a bite of the cake."
At this point, Spandine leaned over and whispered, "Amber-lead ore can cause illness in the human body and cannot be cured. This is no secret in the upper circles."
"In addition, the earliest group of people have begun to die. The king and nobles of this country have recently been looking for ways to protect themselves."
Kevin shook his glass and said, "Can't we just stop mining?"
Spandine sneered: "When the higher-ups take a fancy to you, a Freifans has no choice. They can't stop, and the only thing they can do is to abandon everyone else and survive."
Kevin didn't say anything, but just sighed inwardly.
This is the disadvantage of having the lives and safety of the entire nation depend on one person. There may be a king like Alabasta, but more often there are nobles like Frevans.
And the people of this country have basically been infected with PerkinElmer's disease, the only difference is how long it takes to develop the disease.
Trafalgar Law is just young, which doesn't mean that everyone in this country can survive until seven years later.
"These have nothing to do with us. The North Sea operation is just a way to make some money. If it weren't so critical recently, I would never set foot in this country anyway."
Spandine said, looking at Kevin: "What do you want to see me for?"
Kevin replied: "Together with Kuzan, they will serve as the naval support for this operation. The authority personally notified the Marshal's office."
"But Marshal Zhan Guo has another mission for me, so I came to find you."
Warring States Period?
Kevin glanced at him and continued, "Due to the South China Sea operation a few years ago, the Navy and the World Government have a bad image among the people, and more and more people have become pirates. So I hope I can communicate with you to try not to affect ordinary people in the North China Sea operation against Germa."
After he finished speaking, Spandine twirled his glass without saying anything, as if he was considering the gains and losses of the navy.
The promotion of the CP organization has nothing to do with the navy, and even the Warring States cannot influence the CP.
But on the other hand, this was a task assigned to Kevin by the Admiral, and he and Kevin had a long-standing cooperative relationship.
As for the lives of ordinary people here?
These were never within his consideration.
After a while, Spandine sat back and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. If everything goes well this time, I will be appointed to a small position in CP0. With the help of the boss above, I still have some face."
Kevin also appropriately handed over a note, which stated the value of a box of jewelry.
"I'll find a way to deal with trade and transportation, and then things will be much easier." Spandine put the note away, smiling more.
After thinking about it, he revealed another piece of information.
"This is after the North Sea Operation. If there are any missions in the second half of the Grand Line, try not to go if you can avoid it."
Seeing Kevin's puzzled expression, Spandine whispered, "CP0 was in the outer sea of Wano Country some time ago and noticed a huge change in Wano Country. The temperature at the center of Onigashima, the home of the Beasts Pirates, has been estimated to be over degrees."
"The guy who killed the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago and took out a top CP0 fighter, making the Navy's Vice Admiral who had the ability of the Pika Pika Nomi not dare to land, had this ability."
Spandine paused for a moment and said, "According to CP's analysis, the user of the Pik Pik Fruit, Borsalino, is targeting the other two admiral candidates in the Navy, Sakaski and Kuzan."
"You still have some gaps. Wano Country is too dangerous, but the Navy and the World Government have their reasons for investigating. That country is very special, and seastone is their specialty."
After he finished speaking, Kevin's eyes became somewhat deep.
Before this, he had indeed forgotten the specialness of Wano Country. It should not even be just the seastone. The one in the flower room on Marijoa should be aware of the specialness of Wano Country.
After all, the stones and stonemasons in the historical text all came from Wano Country, and Im couldn't have been unaware of that.
However, due to the special geographical location and the fact that Vegapunk has been acquired by himself, the energy source called fire is naturally gone.
The attack that destroyed the Kingdom of Lulucia might not be used recklessly without the support of the fire energy.
"Oh, I see."
Kevin's attitude was somewhat disapproving. It was obvious that participating in the investigation of Wano Country as a navy was the best option.
And Spandine said nothing more.
Partners are important, but if they are eliminated, it doesn’t matter.
After drinking the wine in the glass, Spandane stood up and said with a smile, "It's a rare trip to the North Sea. The women of Freifans are still very attractive. Anyway, we have to wait for Germa's information, so we can play here for a day."
Then the two of them left the room chatting and laughing, and began to enjoy the happiness brought by money.
……
Kevin didn't stay in the extravagant bar for long. After establishing his persona for a while, he slipped out with an excuse.
In fact, he didn't like this environment, but Spandine liked it, so he had to stay with him for a while.
In the center of the white town, a beautiful white fountain is playing music and dancing to the music.
Some of the pedestrians around were busy while others were idle, but everyone had a smile on their face and their eyes were filled with hope for their future life.
This country is very rich and peaceful based on the amber mine, and is loved by those guys above. This place will naturally be protected as a priority, and the naval branch can provide support at any time.
But all this is built on the lives of the people.
When the Perlman Disease breaks out, the nobles will leave early, leaving behind only the people who are tortured and abandoned by the disease.
The borders were blocked, and the upper class nobles even spread the rumor that Perkin Elliot disease was contagious, making it even more impossible for the lower class to survive.
Perhaps the only one who survives in White Town is Trafalgar Law, and that requires the use of the Operation Fruit.
"Big brother, do you want to buy flowers?"
A voice sounded in front of Kevin. It was a little girl selling flowers. Although the dress she was wearing was patched, it was clean.
The little girl blinked her eyes, looked at Kevin and said, "The nun said that flowers can bring good luck."
Kevin took out a Bailey's note and handed it to the little girl. After taking the flowers, the little girl found that the face value of the Bailey's note was too large and she couldn't make the change.
The little girl was a little anxious, counting the few coins in her hand.
When he looked up again, it was obvious that his eyes were red.
The flowers were picked from the wild, so they were not really beautiful, but thanks to the little girl's careful pruning, they looked pretty good.
But it was obvious that her business was not good today.
"Big brother, can you...can you accompany me to church? I...I can't find the way."
church?
Kevin thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The extra money is a gift to you. I think this bouquet of flowers is very beautiful. You must have spent a long time trimming it, didn't you?"
The little girl tightly grasped the Bailey in her hand, and at the same time, she was wrestling with a long struggle of persuasion between the education she had received and her rumbling stomach.
However, after seeing this, Kevin reached out and patted the little girl on the head, then turned around and walked away from the fountain.
At the same time, a spatial coordinate fell on the girl's neck.
……
Kevin was walking on the streets of the white town, the face of the little girl still lingering in his mind.
I am not a good person...
The lives I have killed and the souls suffering in prison are so countless that I can’t even count them when I think about it now.
But at the same time...the education I received in my previous life always makes me empathize, just like the little girl just now.
After being abandoned, she still tries hard to survive with her own hands. Although it is difficult, she can still have enough food and clothes thanks to the general environment. There is light for the future in her eyes.
But she didn't know that this country would cease to exist in more than three years.
The upper class nobles fled, and the people were blocked here, shot, and burned to ashes.
Frevans doesn't mean much to the Revolutionary Army. All ordinary people in this country have been poisoned by heavy metals, and there is no cure except the Operation Fruit.
The effort and reward are not proportional, and the revolutionary army's forces in the North Sea are now lurking.
If the action is too big, it will inevitably attract the attention of the world government again.
But many times, interests are not everything.
On the day when I was one year old in the Valley of Gods, even though I had memories of my past life, when my relatives were hunted one by one, I prayed for someone to appear and save me, my mother and my father.
Finally... Uncle Bear, who was still a good guy at that time, appeared, and so did Ginny.
Even Kevin still remembers that after the Valley of the Gods incident, Uncle Bear returned to the Kingdom of Solbe and begged for forgiveness in the church because he felt that he could have saved more people.
"Huh...see you in three years, little girl."
