Transaction, Reward, Harvest

The Grand Line.

Aboard the Yanhuang.

"What the hell was that hail just now? Hailstones bigger than people, I even saw some larger than the ship itself! The Grand Line is just too terrifying."

The tear tracks had yet to dry on the faces of Nami, Apis, and the other girls, while the officers and captains still looked as though their souls had been shaken from their bodies.

If not for El Drago's Sonic Cannon, Bartolomeo's barrier, and Moya's Slip Shield, an ordinary pirate crew would have been wiped out long ago.

"Nami, do you understand the importance of a navigator now? A good navigator can predict the development of weather based on the slightest changes. The burden on your shoulders will be heavy from now on; I'm counting on you."

She felt the seriousness and importance Moya placed on her.

"I understand. I will study navigation diligently and will not let everyone's trust go to waste."

Nami also sensed the gravity of being a navigator and began to value her own talent, determined to develop it as quickly as possible.

"The little Millennium Dragon is growing up, too. We can make a hanging basket and have a few of the little dragons pull you up into the sky to observe the weather and scout islands—and, of course, to enjoy the view."

"Captain Moya, you're too brilliant! To think you could come up with something like that."

Apis looked at Moya with pure adoration, stars twinkling in her eyes.

"That's a wonderful suggestion."

Ignoring the gazes of others, Nami rewarded Moya with a kiss.

With the development of the Slip-Slip Fruit, Moya seemed to be getting more and more handsome—er, more beautiful—no, more dashing.

The passive effect of Opposite Sex Favorability +1 was becoming increasingly potent.

He was not far from standing on par with the Pirate Empress; the Pirate Emperor of Beauty would surely make a name for himself across the world.

In the captain's office, the secretary Honey Queen handed over a Den Den Mushi, while the intelligence officer Maddie began taking notes and organizing various newspapers and bounty posters.

"Brrr-brrr~"

"Hello, Dragon. Are you ready with the advanced applications of the Three-Color Haki? I can't wait any longer."

Moya could no longer suppress his desire to grow stronger. On Dragon's end, beside his Den Den Mushi, sat a white Anti-Eavesdropping Den Den Mushi.

"I am ready, my Strategic Advisor."

"What the hell!! So the news about the Underworld really was leaked by you."

"Let's not dwell on the details. Start receiving the training methods for the Three-Color Haki."

Dragon decisively changed the subject and began to dictate the advanced training methods for the Three-Color Haki, while Maddie recorded them with great focus.

Honey Queen didn't forget to pick up a bunch of grapes that Rika had just brought in, peeling one and feeding it into Moya's mouth.

"Alright, is it all recorded? Tell me, which Underworld Emperor is CP0?"

"Listen closely: it is the Queen of the Pleasure District, Stussy. By the way, to celebrate our partnership, I'll tell you a secret—I don't know if you're aware—Doflamingo is a Celestial Dragon."

"Understood."

Without further ado, Dragon immediately convened a meeting to begin laying out his strategy against the Underworld.

"Brrr-brrr~"

"Kid Moya, it really is you. I thought it was someone from another faction; I never imagined you were just a greenhorn who had just set sail!"

The unique, cunning laughter of the King of Deep Storage, Umit, came through the Den Den Mushi.

"So, are you planning to back out of our cooperation?"

Moya didn't flinch or fear the King of Deep Storage; he had plenty of confidence now.

"You really are a Devil Fruit user with some kind of precognition ability, aren't you?"

"That's none of your concern. Are the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and the Eternal Poses for the islands of the Grand Line ready or not!!!"

Umit was taken aback, but he wasn't angry; after all, exposing the mole among the Underworld Emperors and obtaining the Pure Gold that granted immortality were things he desperately wanted.

"I will have copies made of everything I possess. The shipping managers in the East Blue and the Grand Line will also cooperate with you actively. Where should the encyclopedia and the Eternal Poses be delivered??"

"Whisky Peak on the Grand Line. Send them as fast as you can; I'll be staying there for a few days."

"Exposing your location like that is very dangerous, my little Moya!"

"Send me the Den Den Mushi numbers for the other Underworld Emperors in a moment."

"Tell me the identity of the mole first."

"OK, it's the Queen of the Pleasure District, Stussy. She is a member of CP0 under the World Government."

Moya repeated the sentence once more, selling the same goods to multiple buyers.

"It's actually Stussy!! I understand. I'll give you the numbers for the other four Underworld Emperors, but I won't give you Stussy's line."

The King of Deep Storage, Umit, immediately tightened his security; the Underworld had been infiltrated far too deeply by the World Government.

Even the Underworld Emperor was a member of CP0, which filled his heart with unease.

He didn't even dare to tell his non-confidant subordinates; should he share this news with the other Underworld Emperors?

Danger lurked everywhere; he had to prepare to protect himself first, then unite with the others to take down this CP0 agent.

Moya hung up the Den Den Mushi with a smile; he had obtained the Three-Color Haki, the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, and the Eternal Pose.

At the same time, the pirate world and the dark Underworld would descend into chaos; this was the time to rise amidst the turmoil and develop while things were in disarray.

Navy, stop focusing your attention on the Moya Adventure Group and go worry about the Underworld instead, hahahaha~~

Should he pull a fast one on Blackbeard Teach?

Forget it, Teach was also doing things that would break the world's status quo, so he wouldn't disrupt this plotline just yet.

However, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Let's see who will have the last laugh.

He wondered if Umit had passed the news to the other dark emperors yet.

Moya prepared to muddy the waters further to see if there were any unexpected gains.

"Bolu bolu~"

"Fufufufu~ Hello, who is this?"

The Den Den Mushi transformed into the likeness of a man wearing a pink feather coat and pink sunglasses, and a magnetic voice came through.

This was one of the Shichibukai, the King of Dressrosa, and an Underworld broker, Donquixote Doflamingo.

"Hehehehe, Doflamingo, my name is Moya, and I have a deal I'd like to discuss with you."

"Is it that 'Rookie King'? Are you interested in joining our Donquixote Family?"

"Tch~, someone who possesses Conqueror's Haki shouldn't be spouting such nonsense. Kings cannot coexist; do you think you are Rocks or Roger?!"

"Fufufufu~"

Veins popped out on Doflamingo's forehead; it seemed he was quite infuriated.

"Brat, you're very arrogant!!"

"Doffy, let's talk business. Do you want to take a shot at the World Government?"

"What do you mean? What kind of information do you have?"

"A CP0 agent is lurking in the Underworld, right by your side, Doffy. You're in great danger."

"Do you think I'm afraid of a rat? Are you looking down on me!! Fufufufu~"

"Fine, then what about the First Heart? How about that? Can we talk business now?"

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo's face turned extremely gloomy!!

A prophecy-type Devil Fruit? It was truly more broken than the Hobi Hobi no Mi; could no secrets be kept anymore? He wondered what the limitations were.

He had to find an opportunity to kill this ability user.

"You're very good!!! Speak, what do you want?"

"I want the Artificial Devil Fruit that Vegapunk left behind, currently in Caesar's hands."

That's right, Moya wanted to screw over Momonosuke so he wouldn't have a Devil Fruit to eat.

He didn't have to become the One Piece, but Momonosuke had to die.

Doflamingo didn't know if Moya, as a prophecy-type ability user, was aware of the drawbacks of the Artificial Devil Fruit.

There was a high probability of death, or becoming a "Smile" user, with less than a fifty percent chance of actually gaining Devil Fruit powers.
