Talking to the Queen of the Pleasure District

Urged on by the belligerent Aramaki and Zoro, and with Nami also eager to go to Sand Crocodile's casino to win money, the situation became even more complicated.

The fleet's speed has increased to a new level.

They sped towards the port of Alabasta.

Meanwhile, in Wang Shi's office.

The Den Den Mushi in his hand had already connected to the private Den Den Mushi of the underground dark emperor [Queen of the Pleasure District] Stussy.

"Oh~, who is it, sir? Are you looking to reserve a courtesan? Or would you like our [Girlsu0027 Ship] home service?"

A seductive, mature woman's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

After the Den Den Mushi in Wang Shi's hand was connected, it immediately began to mimic, wearing a white hat on its head and even having short golden hair.

Stussy looked at the Den Den Den Mushi in his hand, not immediately determining who was on the other end.

However, someone who can get through to her private Den Den Mushi must be no ordinary person.

As the Queen of the Pleasure District and a CP0 spy, Stussy is not as domineering and arrogant as other underground dark emperors.

"I, Wang Shi, have something to discuss with you. Please have your people leave to ensure this is a completely confidential conversation."

Wang Shi spoke directly, with a white anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi) placed in front of him.

After all, the World Government and the Marine Headquarters possess a considerable number of black-market Den Den Den Mushi used for eavesdropping).

Kizaru always carries a black Den Den Den Mushi) on his hand.

When the Revolutionary Army's Dragon and his comrades made phone calls, they always carried white, anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped Den Den Mushi).

"So it's our Emperor of Exile, His Majesty Wang Shi~"

Stussy's face froze for a moment, but she quickly spoke in a sweet voice. She immediately left the noisy Red Light Tavern and returned to her top-secret office, taking out a Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi) to prevent eavesdropping.

"Are you sure you're safe, Stussy? This could be a matter of life and death for you."

Wang Shi's voice made Stussy's expression even more serious. She didn't believe that an emperor like Wang Shi was joking with her.

"Your Wang Shi, please don't frighten this young lady. What do you want? A beautiful woman? Or intelligence?"

Stussy maintained her Queen of the Pleasure District -like tone, seemingly unconcerned about the Wang Shi's threat.

After all, her public identity is that of an underground dark emperor, and even the Overlord of the East Blue cannot threaten her at will.

"MADS cloning experiment success subject number 1, please give me Vegapunk's private Den Den Mushi number, the top-secret kind. I know the Five Elders are monitoring Vegapunk."

"Don't try to argue, Stussy, I know all your secrets."

"As a spy within a spy, this underground dark emperor, besides being a CP0 agent of the World Government, you are also Vegapunk's ultimate spy."

"Oh, and I also learned the secret of Vegapunk's research into the Void Century. With just one word from me, the Five Elders will immediately eliminate Vegapunk."

"Okay, I'll give you a minute to calm down and process this information. Please rephrase your statement."

"Perhaps your next word will determine your life or death, and Vegapunk's."

Wang Shi, like a high and mighty judge and arbiter, slowly uttered the terrifying news that sent chills down Stussy's spine and made his body stiffen.

"..."

Only Stussy's heavy breathing remained on the Den Den Mushi.

At this moment, Stussy was covered in cold sweat, his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, his pupils were constricted into black dots, and his mind went completely blank.

She actually exposed herself!

Moreover, everything was completely exposed, with not a single secret left.

This clone of hers was not afraid of death.

But the meaning of her life was to create her Dr. Vegapunk.

Now, Wang Shi not only knows her secret and her life or death, but also Dr. Vegapunk's life or death.

If Wang Shi were to report her as a spy within a spy to the Five Elders, she would face endless persecution from the World Government in the future.

The most terrifying thing is that even she didn't know that Dr. Vegapunk had studied the Poneglyph, but Wang Shi actually knew.

As a CP0 agent, Stussy was well aware of the terrible crimes involved in researching the Poneglyph.

"You... want to control me and Dr. Vegapunk?"

After a long silence, Stussy, ignoring the cold sweat on her forehead, considered denying Wang Shi's words, but Wang Shi knew her identity so well that she dared not refute him.

If she angers the Wang Shi, her secret with Dr. Vegapunk might really be completely exposed, and then it will be truly irreversible.

"No, no, no, I'm just a good person who makes friends. How could I be like the Celestial Dragons, trying to control you and Dr. Vegapunk?"

"I simply want to collaborate with Dr. Vegapunk in secret."

"Beautiful Ms. Stussy, I didn't mean to threaten you. I just wanted to quickly gain your trust and have a good talk."

"After all, Dr. Vegapunk is a treasure of all mankind, how could I destroy him?"

"Miss Stussy is a shrewd, capable, and loyal person in my eyes. If you'd like, I'd like to become part of your family, just like Vegapunk treated you."

Wang Shi's tone instantly shifted from serious and domineering to gentle and soothing.

The tense atmosphere immediately eased.

Stussy's mind was rapidly analyzing Wang Shi's words.

Secret cooperation, mutual benefit... all of this makes perfect sense.

This is probably Wang Shi's goal.

As for Wang Shi's comment about becoming family, Stussy simply chuckled.

She was just a clone; she wasn't a real person at all.

Dr. Vegapunk is her creator, and she considers Vegapunk her 'master,' not family.

"I will give a proper report to Dr. Vegapunk. Please wait for my news Wang Shi."

After thinking for a while, Stussy realized that Wang Shi had no intention of harming her and Vegapunk for the time being, so she regained her composure and responded to Wang Shi seriously.

After all, she was just a clone, a subordinate, and had no right to make decisions for Dr. Vegapunk.

"I understand. Please discuss this with Dr. Vegapunk first, and convey all my words to him."

Please have a good talk with Dr. Vegapunk about the pros and cons. I don't want to be your enemy; we can be good secret allies."

Wang Shi's relaxed tone relieved Stussy of some of the pressure.

The secret call between Wang Shi and Stussy ended in less than half an hour.

As he put down the Den Den Mushi, a faint smile appeared on Wang Shi's face.

If you Five Elders won't sell, plenty of others will.

It's still direct sales from the source, without these middlemen who profit from the price difference.

Once Wang Shi establish a connection with Dr. Vegapunk, you'll be able to unlock even more technology from Dr. Vegapunk.

Dragon, that guy, was friends with Vegapunk for decades, but he didn't gain anything from it.

Vegapunk, that scientist, is someone who only responds to force and never to gentle persuasion.

Dragon tried to persuade Vegapunk to grant him peace, but Vegapunk completely ignored him.

It would be better to find Vegapunk's weakness and threaten him directly.

Vegapunk believed that he should use his limited lifespan to create more useful inventions.

So he didn't want to die.

Although he wasn't truly afraid of death, he simply didn't want to die, didn't want to die young, and couldn't bear to die meaninglessly.

Therefore, feel free to threaten him with your life.

Because he really does know how to back down!
