In truth, this was just an excuse Mu Chen had come up with on the spot. After all, he still had not decided how to deal with the Vinsmoke Family.
What Mu Chen did know, however, was that the Vinsmoke Family aimed to conquer the North Blue, and eventually the world, making their family great once more.
For all the Vinsmoke Family's power at sea, their so-called Germa Kingdom did not even have any territory to its name.
Mu Chen also knew that someone else seemed to have occupied the Germa Kingdom's former territory. Their forces were still a little too weak to take revenge and reclaim their land.
It was not as though he could not bring these people into the Revolutionary Army's camp. After all, restoring a kingdom required allies. Later on, the Vinsmoke Family would have to rely on a marriage alliance with Big Mom to do just that. "What a coincidence-the Revolutionary Army members I was tracking disappeared right near your castle."
Ichiji stared hard at Mu Chen. He did not believe a word Mu Chen said.
"Is the Marines' intelligence reliable?"
"Not even a fly can get through Germa's security system."
Mu Chen suddenly smiled. The wine flask spun around his fingertips, and wine dripped from its spout onto the deck, splashing into tiny droplets.
"A fly might not get in, but the Revolutionary Army can tunnel underground. For instance, I know they have a devil fruit user who can dig tunnels."
Mu Chen casually took out a yellowed slip of paper. Written on it in the Revolutionary Army's distinctive code was: "On the night of the full moon, obtain the level-one clone data."
Needless to say, Mu Chen had written this himself too. After all, was he not a member of the Revolutionary Army?
