Hearing Gawain's words, Iceburg raised his head with difficulty. He looked at Gawain, his expression turning serious.
"What I want depends on what adults want to give me, and even more so on who adults want to give it to!"
"Anything else?" Gawain asked with a smile.
"It also depends on what the master wants from me and Spandam respectively!"
"Good."
Gawain clapped his hands, then pointed to the Iceburg and said to Gion.
"See, Gion? Now you understand why I didn't accept Spandam so easily, right?"
Compared to him, this person is truly capable.
You might say that they can all be used to my advantage.
But Spandam's half-face was Teuchi by Iceburg's junior brother, and Iceburg's master was also framed and killed by Spandam.
Clearly, their conflict is irreconcilable and can only be resolved through force.
But if I'm to forcefully suppress their conflicts, then they at least need to be on the same level first, right?
Gawain pursed his lips, then shook his head and said something.
"Iceburg!"
Five years ago, you were just an ordinary boatman, or rather, a ship designer, in Water 7.
But just five years after your master, the Tom, died, you unified all the shipbuilding companies in Water 7, forming the Galley-La Company. You also became the mayor of Water 7 and established strategic partnerships with the World Government and pirates!
You've mastered both the legal and illegal worlds, and you've been able to get along with anyone. Over the past five years, you've achieved almost everything an ordinary person could do!
Although Water 7 is not a country, it is a major shipbuilding center and shipping hub with a floating population of over eight million.
Its importance far exceeds that of the vast majority of countries!
Rather than calling you a boatman, it's more accurate to say you're an exceptionally talented businessman and manager!
You're very good at making money, and that's exactly the kind of talent I lack!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain smiled and reached out to help Iceburg up.
After Iceburg stood up, Gawain looked at Rob Lucci again and said.
"You've heard about Iceburg's abilities, Lucci. What do you think of him compared to Spandam?"
"My lord, I think he's no different from Spandam!"
Lucci replied righteously and firmly.
"You are Celestial Dragon, Descendants of God, a god!"
Before you, everyone, whether capable or incapable, is essentially one of your people!
"That's right. So, what do you think of Iceburg? Are you one of my people?"
Gawain smiled at Iceburg, Iceburg nodded decisively.
"Of course I am."
"Very well, the moon is high and the water is cold, the sea is close and the waves are rough, let's find another place to talk."
After Kalifa has taken stock of her belongings, take Shirahoshi for a stroll Water 7. Aside from bars and similar places, find some shops that are still open late at night and help her choose some unique gifts. Afterward, take her back to rest.
Kaku, prepare a boat. You can choose the sailors yourself. I will set sail for Amazon Lily at noon tomorrow. Prepare an Eternal Pose for Amazon Lily!
Lucci, contact Spandine and tell him that I need to borrow his son and transfer Spandam to your and Iceburg's command.
Also, please wish Spandine good health, and I hope he can have another child!
As for Jabra, bring enough men and bring Franky to me!
At this point, Gawain suddenly looked at the Iceburg.
"By the way, Iceburg, where does Franky live?"
Is it that Franky House?
"Yes... yes, sir..."
Iceburg was suffering inside; the way he looked at Gawain was as if he were looking at a devil!
That was a devil who could see through all his thoughts, yet he couldn't guess what was going on at all, and dared not even raise a spirit of resistance!
As the Iceburg trembled, Gawain continued his confession.
"Very good, Franky House, Jabra, do you know this place?"
"Of course, Saint Gawain!"
"Yes, remember it's 'please,' not 'grab.'"
I not only have no ill intentions towards him, but I also want to introduce him to someone.
"This person, Iceburg, you should also be interested in. Dan, why don't you come out and meet your brother's disciple?"
Gawain called out to the distant carriage, and then the Merfolk Dan, hopping and skipping along the water's tail, carrying the design blueprints, came to the front of the group.
Looking at the Iceburg, Merfolk Dan smiled deeply.
"So you're my brother's good-for-nothing disciple? Haha, I'm Dan, Tom's younger brother. Just call me Uncle-Master!"
"Uncle-Master?!"
Master's younger brother?!
Male Merfolk?!
Looking at Dan's smiling face, the Iceburg was about to collapse. All night long, Gawain sometimes gave him a storm of anger, and sometimes he gave him a warm summer sun.
Hope and despair kept switching back and forth, and Iceburg felt like he was about to have a mental breakdown!!!
Gawain was very satisfied with Iceburg's current expression. He clapped his hands and laughed.
"Alright, that's all for now. Let's get busy."
Mayor Iceburg, I wonder which room you arranged for me?
"Of course, it's the most prestigious residence in Water 7, located near the highest point of that enormous fountain. Water 7 is mostly waterways, so please, sir, take Yagara Bull!"
"Good."
Gawain nodded, then followed the Iceburg to the special edition Yagara Bull, a special transport animal from the Water 7 known as the Bullfish.
Yagara Bull started swimming and calling out, while Shirahoshi, who was staying at the station, kept waving at Gawain.
"Sir, please wait for me a moment. I'm going to stroll around the night market, buy some food, and then come back."
"Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll bring some back for you. There must be some local specialties here, right?"
"Haha, let Kalifa take you shopping. Remember to come home when you're done playing."
Gawain waved goodbye to the little girl for the time being and rode Yagara Bull towards the highest point of Water 7.
As soon as Gawain disappeared from the platform, Dabai Star's eyes lit up. She reached out and carefully placed her hand in front of Kalifa.
"Sister, are you called Kalifa? Then please take care of me."
Even though it's night, the moonlight in Water 7 is so beautiful, and you look gorgeous too.
So where should we go to play?
"I..."
Kalifa took a deep breath. Everything had happened too fast, far too fast. Even as a professional agent, she was still a little overwhelmed.
The amount of information in Gawain's words was truly astounding!!!
Especially regarding the matter of Spandine, the adults actually wished him good health and hoped he could have another son!!!
This is fucking... so exciting!!!
No matter how exciting it was, Kalifa still had to do her job; she pushed up her glasses, suppressing her excitement.
"I'll take you on a tour of the Water 7 right now!"
The two excited women walked away hand in hand, and Rob Lucci took a long breath as he watched their retreating figures.
Kaku and his group gathered around Lucci.
"Lucci, what... exactly is going on with us?"
Does this mean it becomes CP0?
"CP0? Give me a break. The master never said we were to be CP0. We seem to be in a different form, kind of like... Celestial Dragon' butlers!"
Jabra licked his lips and continued Kaku's words.
Upon hearing this, Kaku's face lit up with joy.
"Wow, amazing! We're incredibly lucky. Even if we become CP0 members, not everyone has the opportunity to serve the Celestial Dragon, right?"
"Indeed!"
Lucci gave a clear answer, then frowned.
"We must obey Gawain's orders, especially since he is giving us honor, not hell!"
Kaku, Jabra, get to your respective tasks done, now!
Owl, Kalifa isn't here, so you'll manage the outer perimeter members. Make sure you accurately count every piece of treasure and report back promptly!
As for me, I immediately contacted Spandine, but our Den Den Mushi can't reach CP0, so I actually need to contact Spandam to tell him to contact his father and have his father have another child?
Gawain has truly avenged the grievances of the past two years!
At this point, Rob Lucci gritted his teeth, and a rare sense of satisfaction rose on his usually indifferent face!
With mixed feelings, Rob Lucci took out Den Den Mushi and called Spandam.
Before Jabra and Kaku could even leave, the Den Den Mushi had already been connected without the slightest hesitation.
Clearly, Spandam had been waiting for Lucci's call.
"Lucci, how is it? Has the master arrived in Water 7 yet? Haha!"
What did the master say? Did he see the treasure I left for him? The second to last carriage was reserved for him. If you have the chance, please remember to give him a heads-up.
Also, does the master think it's too little? If he thinks it's too little, then I can hand over more treasures. I've saved up quite a bit of money over the years.
"Also, I heard that you don't like slaves, so I didn't prepare any. Is your attitude contradictory? Are you angry?"
As soon as the call connected, Spandam's voice came through like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.
Lucci wasn't in a hurry. He waited until Spandam finished speaking and fell silent before slowly addressing Spandam.
"I cannot provide you with any information related to Lord Gawain, and you should show him the utmost respect, Spandam!"
"You..., could it be that you've already...?"
"That's right, I am fortunate to have gained Saint Gawain's appreciation, and I am currently serving you like a dog!"
On the other end of the phone, Spandam was almost contorted with jealousy. Why did the adults choose him over me?!
Strength, it must be because of strength!
Never before has Spandam so desperately wanted power!
Suppressing his ambition, Spandam changed his tone and spoke respectfully to Rob Lucci.
"That's great, congratulations, Lucci."
"So, Gawain, please tell me what you need me to do!"
"Call..."
Hearing Spandam use the word "you," Rob Lucci closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
At this moment, he had never heard of the saying "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river".
But in terms of pure enjoyment, after being suppressed for two whole years, he's now absolutely ecstatic!!!
So Rob Lucci gritted his teeth and said, word by word.
"My lord has some things he wants me to tell Spandine person!"
Upon hearing this, Spandam was overjoyed. He nodded hurriedly and then spoke to Lucci with utmost flattery.
"Yes, Lucci. Please wait a moment while I transfer you to my father Spandine!"
Furthermore, I would be extremely grateful for Lord Lucci's guidance in the future!
"Let's save the thanks for later, if you're still able to speak then..."
