The Topography of Mary Geoise!

Storm nodded with pleasure and satisfaction at Stussy's offer of loyalty.

Even though he knew that Stussy's so-called "loyalty" was not much different from Tesoro's "loyalty."

It's less about "loyalty" and more about...

It's more accurate to describe it as a "surrender" under the threat of overwhelming power.

But loyalty, affection... these things need to be cultivated slowly with sincerity and time.

Storm wasn't some "sea succubus" who could summon followers at a mere call.

He is neither some "savior" or "Sun God" whom the ocean has been waiting for for eight hundred years, nor does he have countless brainless fans.

Stussy, the "Pleasure District Queen," was able to adopt such a submissive posture.

Storm was satisfied enough.

"Get up, I don't like people kneeling here."

Storm extended his right hand, his arm stretching out like rubber, and directly helped Stussy, who was kneeling on one knee, to his feet.

"Also, I happen to need your help with something right now."

Stussy listened silently to Storm's words, having anticipated this all along.

Generally speaking, if one were to voluntarily "surrender" to a Great Pirate, it would be necessary to prepare some special "gifts" to demonstrate one's sincerity.

But Storm actively recruited Stussy.

Stussy didn't need to prepare any "gifts," he just needed to obediently follow the other party's orders.

"Of all my subordinates, only you are suitable to do this job."

Storm stared at Stussy in front of him and spoke bluntly.

"You, go and prepare a map of Mary Geoise! I need the most detailed version possible."

"The Celestial Dragons' residence, the slaves' prisons, the location of the Knights of God's headquarters, the World Government's treasure vault, and even the internal structure of Pangea Castle..."

I want them all!

As Storm rattled off one geographical term after another.

Stussy's heart, which had just relaxed, instantly rose to the level of his throat again.

The rapid pounding of her heart was pounding in her ears, making Stussy feel dizzy.

"Your Majesty the Red Dragon Emperor is joking..."

Stussy looked at Storm and forced a smile.

"I'm just a lowly courtesan, how would I know a detailed map of the Holy Land Mary Geoise?"

Leaving aside the facts...

Send a Dark World King to gather intelligence on the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

This kind of task seems deliberately designed to make things difficult for people, doesn't it?

"Miss Stussy"

Storm interlaced his fingers and leaned forward tactically.

"I've already told you, I know you're from the 'MADS Organization,' and you're Buckingham Stussy, a member of the Rocks Pirates."

Do you think I wouldn't know your true background?

"Miss Stussy, a senior CP0 agent."

Stussy felt a chill run down his spine after hearing Storm's words.

She felt as if she were standing naked in front of Storm, with no secrets whatsoever.

"Understood, Lord Red Dragon Emperor."

Stussy bit her lip and lowered her head, the shadow cast by the wavy brim of her sun hat obscuring her eyes.

"I will draw up the map of Mary Geoise as soon as possible."

As a high-ranking CP0 agent, he is the Celestial Dragons' strongest shield.

Stussy had considerable autonomy in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Just like the positions Storm mentioned, Stussy can freely enter and exit most of them.

The only exception is Pangea Castle.

"But... Pangea Castle."

Stussy paused for a moment, then spoke frankly.

"That castle has many secret rooms, and even I cannot enter without permission."

Many areas within Pangea Castle are open to the public.

Examples include the "World Government Commander-in-Chief's Office," the "Social Plaza," the "Reverie Round Table Hall," and the "Throne of the Sky"...

However, there are some places where outsiders are absolutely prohibited from entering.

Even Celestial Dragons, and even the "Knights of God" of the Celestial Dragons, cannot enter at will.

For example, in the "Chamber of Power" room, the Gorosei often discuss the situation at sea.

For example, " Among the Flower Room" is Imu's daily residence.

For example, the "Phantom Room" is located deep within Pangea Castle, where a giant Straw Hat, unknown to the world, is hidden!

"It's okay, you just need to draw out all the geographical information of the locations you know."

"I can speak slowly and deliberately," Storm said.

"But it's not 'as soon as possible,' it's 'immediately.'"

"The Tea Party in Whole Cake Island is still a few days away, and the other Dark World King will also need time to arrive in Gran Tesoro."

"These next few days, I'll entrust you with drawing a map of Mary Geoise."

"Miss Stussy, you wouldn't want your memories to be read directly by someone, would you?"

Stussy's pupils contracted slightly as he bent over and bowed, revealing his deep cleavage.

"Yes, Lord Red Dragon Emperor."

"Very good."

Storm admired Stussy's posture.

It's common sense to expose your breasts when apologizing!

Snap!

Storm snapped his fingers, Edward Weevil fell from the void once again.

"Miss Stussy, take your 'son' with you and leave. Tesoro should have already prepared a room for you."

"Mommy! Mommy!"

Weevil ran over to Stussy while shouting.

Stussy straightened up, glanced at his tall, Stronger "silly son" with a complicated expression, and silently patted the latter's... thigh.

The height difference between the two is obvious.

If Stussy didn't jump, he wouldn't have been able to pat Weevil on the shoulder...

Stussy bid farewell to Storm, and then left the space directly with Weevil.

"Whitebeard?"

"How is that possible!"

"Whitebeard has reached Gran Tesoro!"

Storm's [Observation Haki] allowed him to clearly hear the noise coming from the outside world.

That was the cacophony of sounds coming from Tesoro, Ikko, and Gran Tesoro's many servants.

A moment later, Tesoro and Ichisho entered the room.

"Storm."

After two days of sparring, Yixiao and Storm have grown much closer, and they now address each other more casually.

"What was that 'Whitebeard' guy all about? His aura was so strong it was like a monster's."

"Um?"

Storm raised an eyebrow, almost hallucinating.

"Oh, that's Edward Weevil Whitebeard the Third, he's one of my men... I just didn't say so before."

"Truly worthy of being called Lord White Dragon!"

Tesoro skillfully delivered a compliment.

"Even Whitebeard the Third has been recruited into your ranks! I imagine that soon even Whitebeard the Second be—"

At this point, Tesoro was suddenly startled and immediately realized what was happening.

There is not much information about Edward Weevil, the Weevil Whitebeard the Third, circulating on the high seas; most people only know that he exists.

But Whitebeard the Second Teach, the second Edward.

That's a high-ranking officer of the Dawn Pirates, appointed by the World Government and the Marine Headquarters!

Lord White Dragon and Red Dragon Emperor...

Tesoro instinctively shut his mouth.

"Edward Teach, the Edward Whitebeard the Second, is also one of my men."

Storm said a few words in a casual manner.

"Furthermore, Stussy, the Pleasure District Queen, has also joined my ranks."

Etc!

Whitebeard the Second... was he also a subordinate of White Dragon?

The White Dragon and the Red Dragon Emperor...

Tesoro's mind was a little confused, but he still nodded subconsciously.

Yixiao, who was standing to the side, also realized the problem.

Speaking of which, his [Observation Haki] had just sensed more than just the sudden appearance of the aura of "Whitebeard the Third, the Weevil Edward".

Ikko's [Observation Haki] also detected the change in Storm's aura!

That aura, as fiery and powerful as a fire dragon...

Could it be that...

Yixiao's pale eyes stared silently at Storm.

Is the White Dragon the same as the Red Dragon Emperor?

"The White Dragon is actually the Red Dragon Emperor!"

Stussy brought Weevil to her luxurious guest room and sat down on the sofa, still feeling shaken.

Watching his "mother's" actions, Weevil followed suit and obediently sat at the other end of the sofa.

Stussy didn't pay attention to Weevil beside her for the moment; she subconsciously took out Den Den Mushi and gently tapped its hard shell with Den Den Mushi slender, pale fingers.

"Should we contact the Gorosei...?"

Stussy tapped his fingertips on the Den Den Mushi's casing, but didn't dial a single number.

She is indeed a high-ranking CP0 agent, serving the World Government.

However, Stussy's loyalty to the World Government was not absolute.

If the opportunity is right.

Stussy wouldn't mind betraying the World Government outright!

She chose to serve the World Government simply because the person she was truly loyal to was also working for the World Government.

"Let's just forget about it..."

Stussy hesitated for a long time, but ultimately gave up the idea of contacting the Gorosei.

Report the fact that "the White Dragon is the Red Dragon Emperor".

Stussy felt she wouldn't get anything out of it.

On the contrary, it is highly likely to provoke an attack from the Red Dragon Emperor...

According to the Red Dragon Emperor's previous statement, the other party seems to have mastered the [Observation Haki] ability to "read people's minds".

This is absolutely terrifying!

The returns are too low and the risks are too high; if you can avoid it, don't do it.

As for the other "Dark World King"...

Stussy had no "goodwill" towards them and wouldn't waste his energy informing them.

On the contrary.

If the King of Loan Sharks, Lou Du Feld, and his ilk were dealt with by the Red Dragon Emperor.

Stussy would be very pleased and then go to receive the "legacy" of the King of Loan Sharks and others.

Let's take it one step at a time...

Stussy calmed himself down, then looked at Weevil beside him, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.

"Weevil?"

Yes, Mom.

How old are you this year?

"I don't know, Mom!"

"... How did you meet White Dragon Haku? I mean... Vongola Storm?"

"On an island."

Weevil answered in his own way.

"A weak island... but there's a guy with a black sword, a bad guy playing in the sand! And the Vongola!"

Black Sword?

Black Blade?

A swordsman wielding Black Blade?

Weevil's answer was too general, and Stussy couldn't help but look confused.

But through two iconic nouns.

The Pleasure District Queen still made some connections to certain things.

'Sand? Perhaps the Sand Crocodile? We did receive intelligence recently that the Sand Crocodile left Alabasta and headed for the East Blue...'

'That swordsman with the Black Blade traveling with White Dragon and Sand Crocodile? Hawk Eyes Mihawk, one of the Shichibukai?'

According to intelligence from his subordinates, Hawk Eyes is still active in the East Blue, and we don't know what his intentions are...

'But White Dragon, Hawk Eyes, Sand Crocodile... how did these three end up together?'

Stussy felt as if she had stumbled upon another great secret.

Just as the Pleasure District Queen was trying to extract information from her "foolish son".

Time keeps passing, the sun rises and the moon sets, and several more days have gone by.

Stussy, the Pleasure District Queen, was the first to arrive in Gran Tesoro.

Then there's the Sea Transport King, that's big news, it's...

Three days before the opening of the Totto Land Tea Party.

Six Dark World King have gathered in Gran Tesoro!

Two updates are provided.

Slightly earlier than yesterday.

Goodnight everyone, go to sleep early.
