Lucci suddenly sat up from the sofa. Usually unflappable, he now stared wide-eyed.
"What did you say? When did this happen?"
"Just now. Iceburg took Paulie to Moyun's ship. They probably never imagined that I could persuade Nico Robin right under their noses."
Kalifa revealed a smug smile and adjusted her glasses. This time, all the credit would be hers.
