The more Crocodile said this, the more wary he became.
Stussy's ability to hold his own in the Underworld speaks for itself, and Crocodile is well aware of this.
This woman suddenly appeared, wanting to cooperate, and even offered to join the Hunter Guild directly.
This choice seems rather strange no matter how you look at it.
Even if you have high hopes for the Hunter Guild, there's no need to be in such a hurry.
After all, the World Government's attitude is still unclear, not to mention that the World Government recently clashed directly with Dunn again in Dressrosa.
Stussy chuckled as he saw Crocodile's expression.
"Don't worry, I'm genuinely interested in joining. If you can't make the decision, you can help me contact your president."
Is this the real goal?
After hearing Stussy's words, Crocodile made a guess in his mind.
That's fine too.
Thinking of this, Crocodile nodded slightly.
"Sure, I'll contact the president. As for whether he'll accept your application, you can ask him directly."
With that thought in mind, Crocodile got up and left.
Stussy watched the departing Crocodile and touched the small bag beside him.
A moment later, Crocodile returned and handed the Den Den Mushi to Stussy.
"Queen Stussy of Pleasure District, wants to join the Hunter Guild?"
Dunn's voice rang out.
Stussy's expression turned serious, his smile faded, and he took the Den Den Mushi with both hands.
"Yes, Lord Dunn, Vegapunk asked me to give you his regards."
Stussy's words caused Crocodile's expression to change drastically.
Vegapunk?
Is there a connection between Stussy and Vegapunk?
"Oh, you just said it outright!"
Dunn's voice was flat.
This did not seem to surprise Dunn.
"The matter of joining the Hunter Guild?"
Stussy spoke calmly.
"Can!"
Dunn's voice rang out, "Joining the Hunter Guild is no problem, but what I want to know is, has Vegapunk created the Mother Flame yet?"
Mother Flame?
Crocodile was somewhat puzzled; it was the first time he had heard this term.
But for Dunn to ask this directly, it must be something important.
Stussy was clearly surprised that Dunn would ask this, and his expression changed abruptly.
"How come you... haven't done it yet? But according to him, it might be able to be built in the next few years."
Stussy took a deep breath and said.
The Mother Flame is a top secret of the World Government, and very few people know about it.
She wouldn't have known about this thing's existence if she hadn't had a long-term relationship with Vegapunk.
How did Dunn know?
"Oh, still that time? That should be enough."
Dunn's voice came through, and then the Den Den Mushi was hung up.
Stussy looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, its eyes now closed, with a serious expression.
"Since the president has agreed, I will handle the handover of the relevant cooperation with you from now on."
Crocodile was very interested in what Dunn was saying, but now was clearly not the time to ask; there would be plenty of opportunities later.
"Good!"
Stussy quickly calmed down and briefly discussed the upcoming cooperation with Crocodile.
It was really just about providing intelligence and funding. Stussy was clearly preoccupied, and after quickly finishing the discussion, he got up and left without even mentioning joining the guild again.
"It seems that what the president said has really bothered this woman."
Crocodile naturally noticed that Stussy's reaction was somewhat unusual.
As Stussy left, he took a Den Den Mushi) out of his bag.
"You heard that, he knows what you're doing right now."
Stussy spoke into the Den Den Mushi in his hand.
"What a strange person. You just can't figure them out."
Vegapunk's tone clearly betrayed his surprise.
"It's fine as long as we get in touch. As for how Dunn found out, we'll have a chance to ask him later. Also, you can inform the World Government on your end."
Stussy nodded slightly.
Should we also tell the Hunter Guild about my identity?
"He probably already guessed it; when we contact the Hunter Guild next, we'll find an opportunity to tell them."
Vegapunk hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Stussy, a double agent, oh, now a triple agent.
After disconnecting from Vegapunk, Stussy watched as the Den Den Mushi in his hand transformed into a regular Den Den Mushi before continuing to use it to Den Den Mushi.
Blu-ray!
The Den Den Mushi rang briefly before being answered.
" Stussy, how's it going?"
"It's a success. I've now reached an agreement with the Hunter Guild."
"Very good, continue gathering intelligence, especially about that person."
When the person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi mentioned that person, they were clearly gritting their teeth.
" Spandine, if you want revenge for your son, you can go directly to that person."
Upon hearing this, Stussy spoke, a sweet smile spreading across her face.
"Snort!"
The Den Den Mushi was immediately disconnected.
"Coward, idiot!"
Stussy looked at the Den Den Mushi that had been disconnected, stuffed it into his small bag, and subconsciously muttered a complaint.
Dressrosa.
"The time is still the same, but Stussy is ostensibly the queen of the Underworld Pleasure District and a CP0 agent, but in reality, she's Vegapunk's man."
A thoughtful look flashed across Dunn's face.
Stussy is a clone of Miss Buckin, Miss Buckin was once Vegapunk's colleague and they researched many technologies together.
Dunn even suspected that Bakkin's mentally challenged son was actually cloned by Bakkin using cells from Whitebeard or something similar.
After all... right!
Dunn's face showed a strange expression, and his thoughts were getting further and further off track.
Boom!
A thunderous sound came from outside. Dunn turned his head and looked over. Enel walked in excitedly.
He was satisfied this time.
Since coming down from the Blue Sea, he has rarely had the opportunity to make such a large number of moves.
Anyway, I had a great time this time.
However, upon seeing Dunn, Enel calmed down completely.
What happened to those guys?
Enel noticed Dunn looking at him and quickly asked what was wrong.
"You actually held back this time? I thought you were going to kill them all."
"No, no, Crocodile said that true mastery of power comes from controlling it, and I have perfect control over my power."
Enel immediately shook his head.
Listen to what he has to say?
Dunn twitched the corner of his mouth and waved his hand.
"Arrest him and have King Riku take him to the Marine Base to collect the bounty."
Dunn's words caused Enel to look at him strangely.
He's no longer the naive newbie who just came down from the Skypiea.
What is Dunn's current relationship with the World Government and the Navy?
Enel was well aware of this.
You even had these pirates sent to the Marine Base to collect their bounty?
Isn't this just another kind of minotaur?
"The bounty will be used for the daily operations of the Hunter Guild here," Dunn said.
"No problem, Chairman. Leave it to me. The Navy must pay this bounty."
Upon hearing this, Enel immediately patted his chest and guaranteed it.
