The World's Strongest Intelligence Agency, CP0!

As the first rays of sunlight slanted across the sea, the whole of Elbaf seemed to be gilded, its sky-high ancient trees with their incredibly lush canopies forming a vast umbrella that covered more than half the island.

This was Elbaf in winter.

The very top of the great tree remained a vibrant green, while the parts below were covered in thick snow. Accumulations of snow occasionally slid off the branches, resembling an avalanche.

This wasn't a metaphor; the snow falling from the branches of the Adam Tree was truly like a landslide.

"Waaaaaaah~"

Several figures in white suits, dark ties, and masks were caught in the avalanche, only sighing in relief after fleeing a considerable distance.

"As expected of the Giant Kingdom, even their avalanches are so unexpected."

"I heard the giants don't welcome outsiders."

"Hmph, their opinions don't matter. This world belongs to us. They live on our territory without paying taxes. If you ask me, the government should send a large army to wipe these giants out."

"..."

The men in white suits argued in the shadows until the one leading them spoke.

"...I'll reiterate: our mission this time is to contact 'Holy Mother' Garumoro. Any conflict with the giants is forbidden."

"What if we're discovered by the Giant Tribe?"

"That possibility doesn't exist."

The man in the white suit glanced at his subordinate.

"If such a situation arises, either you take your own life, or you kill the giant and silence them. There is no third option."

The man in the white suit, Rock Stuart, was an intelligence agent of CP. The so-called CP organization was a secret intelligence agency under the World Government, responsible for investigating all affairs in the world.

And unlike CP1 through CP8, the eight parts that were publicly known.

Rock Stuart belonged to CP0.

Directly subordinate to the "World Nobles," the Celestial Dragons, they were known as the "Celestial Dragons' strongest shield," and the "World's strongest intelligence agency."

As for why Rock Stuart was in Elbaf...

It was because he had received news.

The White Wolf Pirates, a pirate crew that had been opposing their CP organization for decades, had disbanded!

When Rock Stuart first received the news, he thought it was a deliberate smokescreen by White Wolf Moger.

After all, the White Wolf Pirates had tricked their CP more than once or twice.

They disbanded on the surface.

Who knew what conspiracy they were hiding behind it.

However, after not receiving any news about the White Wolf Pirates for the past six months, his initial suspicion slowly turned into certainty.

White Wolf Moger had truly retired!

Once the news was confirmed, a group of CP intelligence agents rejoiced.

Who would understand this, family?

The White Wolf Pirates would beat up their intelligence agents whenever they felt like it, and they were like barefoot people, unafraid of any threats.

The White Wolf Pirates roamed the world.

For them, who were in intelligence, developing an intelligence network took years. Without strong superiors to oversee them, they could only endure the abuse from the White Wolf Pirates.

Every time they finished their mischief, the White Wolf Pirates would pack up and leave, leaving them with a mess.

Working overtime was exhausting!

Rock Stuart's presence in Elbaf was essentially a final probe of the White Wolf Pirates. If he could achieve the objective of this operation, it would mean the White Wolf Pirates were no longer a threat.

Many previously shelved plans could now be resumed.

Their objective this time was to re-establish cooperation with "Holy Mother" Garumoro. Thirty years ago, their CP organization was supposed to act as a bridge between Garumoro and the giants.

Who knew that Moger would show up and steal the Marines' thunder.

While they said CP and the Marines both belonged to the World Government, as violent organs under the same government, there was some competition between them.

But compared to the open Marines, CP's work was much darker.

Intelligence was just the beginning.

CP was involved in dealings such as smuggling, arms trafficking, and human trafficking.

If they could recruit a large number of homeless orphans with untraceable identities from the orphanage established by Garumoro, it would be of great benefit to building CP's intelligence system.

Rock Stuart had always suspected "Holy Mother" Garumoro was colluding with White Wolf Moger, because every time they tried to establish contact with Garumoro, their plans were disrupted by the White Wolf Pirates.

But if Garumoro was truly colluding with the White Wolf Pirates, why would the White Wolf Pirates protect a slave trader who sent orphans to the Marines to become soldiers?

For this reason, the Marines who came from the Home of Lambs, and CP, had records. Once any clues related to the White Wolf Pirates were found, they would show no mercy.

Thirty years passed.

The White Wolf Pirates had disbanded, and they hadn't discovered any problems with those orphans.

"What a shame."

Rock Stuart sighed. It was a shame that the members of the White Wolf Pirates had their own methods for dealing with their CP pursuers.

For the past six months, they hadn't managed to find a single member of the White Wolf Pirates.

"Intelligence indicates that it's currently the Giant Tribe's Winter Solstice Festival. During this period, the giants of Elbaf will reduce their activities and fast for twelve days."

"This is our chance!"

Don't be fooled by the fact that Rock Stuart was only accompanied by three CP0 companions; in reality, each CP0 had the strength of a thousand men.

Rock Stuart planned to abduct all the children from the Home of Lambs to show Garumoro his strength, thereby threatening and warning Garumoro.

He would tell her that if she wanted the Home of Lambs to continue operating, she had to trade with them.

Although he said they couldn't expose themselves, Rock Stuart actually didn't take the clumsy giants seriously at all.

In a one-on-one fight, ordinary giants were no match for them.

They would only become their targets.

Not to mention, after twelve days of fasting, the giants would definitely become weak, and even if they were discovered by the giants then, they could still leave at their leisure.

The plan was foolproof.

In the dead of night, the giants on guard would never be able to spot the CP0, who were less than knee-high to them, let alone their superior strength.

Unless...

"Unless the crew of the White Wolf Pirates are living in Elbaf."

"But how is that possible?"

Startled by the speculation in his mind, Rock Stuart shook his head.

They had spent so much effort to get Garumoro the giants' trust.

How could a bunch of pirates from the White Wolf Pirates achieve that?

They easily bypassed the giants on guard and entered the giants' village.

The Home of Lambs was within reach.

Just as Rock Stuart made a gesture, preparing to kidnap the children from the Home of Lambs.

A confused voice sounded from above them.

"Huh? Who are you?"

Mongge, who was assisting the giants with their night watch, sat on a branch of an Adam Tree.

He looked down.

"Oh, it's you, CP0's little mice!"
