Just then, the previously closed door was opened, and a man poked his head out and looked around. After seeing Katakuri and his group and confirming their identities, he quickly opened the door to welcome them in.
"It really is Lord Katakuri! Please come forward quickly. We were so sorry for keeping you waiting for so long because we didn't have time to verify your identity!"
After opening the door, he immediately jogged over to Lord Katakuri, bowed deeply, and apologized to them.
"It's alright, please get up. We've come here today to visit Mr. Morgans. Is he inside?"
Katakuri shook his head at him, seemingly unconcerned, and then explained the purpose of their visit.
"Yes, Lord Morgans returned here yesterday and is resting in his residence. Please have a seat. My colleague has already informed Lord Morgans, and he should be here soon. Please come in and sit down..."
As Jerry spoke, he stepped aside and gestured for him to come inside.
"Okay, then let's go inside and wait for Mr. Morgans..."
Let's go inside and wait for Mr. Morgans...
Katakuri nodded to Jerry first, then walked inside and addressed his younger brothers.
"Yes, brother!!"
His two brothers followed closely behind him and went inside as well.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Aifu, who had rushed off to inform Morgans, finally arrived at Morgans's door after a short jog and cautiously pressed the doorbell.
Bell...
"Hmm, what's wrong? Didn't I tell you not to bother me at this time? Has something important happened again?"
"Never mind, I'll go check it out first."
Morgans, who was sitting on the sofa inside smoking a pipe and reading a newspaper, was puzzled when the doorbell rang. He then put down the newspaper, put his pipe in his mouth, and went to open the door.
Ding-dong...
Aifu thought Morgans was resting and hadn't heard him, so he anxiously rang the doorbell again and waited eagerly outside the door for him to come over.
"You're here... What could possibly be so important that you have to come and disturb my rest now?"
Click...
Morgans grumbled under his breath but deftly opened the door to see who it was.
"Huh?! It's you, Aifu!! What's the matter that you're in such a hurry to disturb my rest time? You need to give me a satisfactory explanation, otherwise you can pack your bags and get the hell out of here..."
After Morgans opened the door and recognized the man, he stared intently into his eyes with a sharp glint in them, and then spoke in his authoritative and indifferent voice.
"Yes, Lord Morgans, please let me finish before deciding whether to dismiss this subordinate. Just now, Jerry and I saw Lord Katakuri, one of the Four Emperors Big Mom under Big Mom, coming to visit you with two ministers. In order not to delay you, I came to inform you first, while Jerry received them. Katakuri and the others should be waiting for you in the reception room now..."
Upon hearing his boss's indifferent words Aifu quickly spoke up to defend himself.
" Katakuri and the others? Hmm, they're passable. Let's go, come with me to see what this Four Emperors Big Mom's masterpiece Katakuri, has to do with me..."
Morgans reluctantly nodded at Aifu's explanation, then took the cloak from the coat rack behind the door, draped it over his shoulders, and went outside.
Aifu quickly followed him toward the reception room, and the two soon arrived there.
"Oh! What a rare guest! Lord Katakuri, is there something important you need to see me about?"
As they entered the reception room, Morgans and Katakuri exchanged glances before exchanging polite greetings.
"Yes, we did come here to trouble you, Mr. Morgans. I believe you are familiar with Morgans Luo Chen Pirates, right?"
Katakuri and stated his purpose directly.
" The Luo Chen Pirates?! Of course I know about that, after all, they were initially reported on by my Morgans Newspaper."
Blasphemer... Luo Chen, initially wanted for offending Celestial Dragons, then repeatedly escaping from Garp Akainu, and subsequently causing chaos at Supomachi two days ago, defeating and killing Carlos, another underground king, for which the story has spread far and wide...
Morgans talked nonstop about the Luo Chen Pirates, recounting their achievements one by one.
"No, Morgans, you should know that's not what I want to know... I want to know some more confidential information about him, such as where he is now, his specific identity and background, or what actions the government and navy are planning to take against them recently..."
Katakuri was uninterested in the information Morgans mentioned, which was reported in the newspapers, and shook his head as he spoke.
"Oh... you mean this?! Well, you'll have to pay a price for that, otherwise even if you're one of the Four Emperors, you're no exception..."
Morgans naturally understood Katakuri's true intentions, and instead of answering him directly, she gave him a mysterious hint.
"You... Morgans, don't think that just because you're revered as some kind of Dark King you can disregard the authority of the Charlotte Family. You'd better be sensible and spill all the information you have, or we'll make sure you lose your head..."
Seeing that Morgans dared to disrespect their elder brother and demand payment from him, Katakuri's two younger brothers instantly became enraged, stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and threatened him.
"No, even if you say that, my opinion remains unchanged. To obtain the necessary information, one must pay a sufficient price. This is the most basic principle on the high seas, and even the World Government and the Navy are no exception, let alone you pirates..."
Even with his collar grabbed and his body lifted into the air, Morgans remained unfazed and spoke frankly, displaying an attitude of valuing money over life.
"What did you say? You mean to say that our Mother is inferior to the World Government and the Navy, right? Morgans, you know that statement is an insult to Mother in the eyes of the Charlok Family. How dare you look down on the Charlok Family? Well then, I'll let you taste what Charlok's wrath is like..."
After hearing this, one of them took it out of context and extracted what he believed to be Morgans's disdain for their family. He then raised his right hand and angrily shouted, preparing to swing his fist, as big as a sandbag, at him.
"Wait... Moscato, stop right now..."
call...
Just then, as Ice Cream Minister Moscato's fist was about to land on Morgans's face, Katakuri stopped him, halting the fist less than two or three centimeters from Morgan's forehead. The force of the punch blasted past, making Morgan's hair stand on end.
"Let go of him immediately. Remember to be polite to Mr. Morgans; he's an important partner of Charlok's. How can you be so rude..."
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Morgans. My two rude brothers have offended you. I hope you weren't injured?"
Katakuri first reprimanded Moscato and Opera before making them put him down, then walked up to him and thanked him.
"No, I'm fine, but should we continue this transaction? If Lord Katakuri decides he wants to continue, then he'll have to pay a sufficient price; otherwise, I'll say it again..."
Morgans, as expected of someone who has weathered many storms, seemed completely unaware of what had just happened. After straightening his clothes slightly, he asked again with an air of nonchalance.
"Um... okay, tell me everything you have. That should be enough to compensate for the cost of that intelligence..."
Katakuri thought about it carefully and then agreed, before taking a treasure chest out of his body and placing it in front of him.
"Hmm... let me see!!"
Morgans glanced at the treasure chest and then went closer to confirm its value.
Click...
The treasure chest was then opened, and the items inside shone dazzlingly under the light. It turned out to be a whole chest of gold and jewels, which made Morgans extremely happy, and he couldn't stop smiling.
"Hmm, this is acceptable; it's worth the cost of that intelligence..."
Alright, listen carefully now, this is all the information about Luo Chen...
First, aside from what has already been reported, there is a portion that has not been disclosed. This is information from the Commander of Navarone Fortress, held in the Marine Headquarters' collection, detailing his general experiences and background...
Morgans then explained to Katakuri and the other two the information that was kept in the Navy's secret room, which even most of the Navy did not know. He also mentioned the little episode before defeating Lucas on Supomachi Island, and finally told him the top secret that the government and the Navy were going to grant him the title of Shichibukai.
"Is that all? We understand. We're truly sorry to have bothered you. We have a mission to attend to and cannot continue this conversation. Goodbye!"
After processing all the information, Katakuri bid farewell to Morgans and the others, preparing to leave.
"Oh, by the way, since you're so generous, Lord Katakuri, I'll give you another piece of information. I heard that the Luo Chen Pirates' defeat of Carlos disrupted his trade with Kaido, which angered him greatly, and he even threatened to teach him a lesson."
Jack the Drought, one of Kaido's All-Stars, is also heading towards the first half of the Grand Line after hearing the news. If all goes as expected, their target is the same as yours: the Luo Chen Pirates. You might encounter them soon...
As Morgans saw Katakuri preparing to leave, he revealed another very important piece of information to him, then turned and went back to his residence, ignoring the changing emotions of Katakuri and the others.
"Is it that muscle-bound giant elephant? Ha, that's really important information. But so what if we run into them?! Let's go, we should get going..."
After saying that, he led his two younger brothers back to his fleet to prepare for departure.
