Cold sweat kept pouring down Sebast's forehead.
Is this the Azure Emperor?
And Bullet!
And the Marine Admiral he had previously assassinated.
They are existences on completely different levels.
He had never seen anything so terrifying.
This person is absolutely terrifying!
As an assassin, Sebast's perception of aura is far stronger than that of ordinary people.
As a legendary assassin, he could judge a person's approximate strength with just a glance.
But the Azure Emperor before him was an existence he had absolutely no way of measuring.
Because this person is absolutely terrifying.
He didn't have a terrifying appearance, nor did he exude any intimidating aura.
But the aura he unintentionally exuded was enough to make even a seasoned killer like Sebast, who had witnessed countless killings and was a legendary assassin who had taken countless lives, tremble with fear.
Even if it were Bullet, Sebast would not be afraid.
But when faced with this person, Sestet felt fear and dread.
He couldn't believe it himself; as Famous Sword top assassin who had always lived a life of constant danger and disregarded life and death, he was actually afraid.
The aura emanating from this person before me, which resembled that of a demon god, was truly terrifying.
As a top assassin, Sebast was even more acutely aware of this unparalleled terrifying aura.
"I don't know if the Five Elders are behind this. Before I left Impel Down, someone told me that I had a mission, and the reward was to get out of Impel Down, so I agreed!" Sebast said.
"Regardless of whether the Five Elders orchestrated this or not, I will hold them accountable and settle accounts with those five old Five Elders sooner or later!" Zesi said calmly.
Even if the Five Elders didn't personally plan this, they must have been the ones pushing things along.
The mere fact that the bear intervened made the outcome a foregone conclusion.
However, now is not the time to truly fall out with the World Government.
We'll settle all the accounts together later.
"You're quite good at surviving Bullet's attack. I'm in need of a butler. How about it? Want one?" Zesi said.
This is the real reason why Zesi sought out Sebast.
"Me? You mean me?" Sebast asked, utterly astonished.
It's worth noting that just recently, Sebast was someone who had been plotting to attack the Azure Emperor Pirates and assassinate their Azure Emperor Pirates- captain.
In the blink of an eye, the other party wanted to take him in as their butler.
This change is too fast, especially considering this is a butler.
Butlers have always been a privilege reserved for nobles, and they have always been the most trusted and confidants of nobles.
How could the Azure Emperor dare to trust someone who was just an enemy so much, making him his steward?
"Your mission failed. Do you think the World Government will still tolerate you?" Zesi said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing Zesi's words, Sebast was startled, realizing that even if the mission failed, the World Government would not spare his life, regardless of whether the mission succeeded or failed.
They would eliminate themselves immediately.
This is the right thing for World Government to do.
"Right now, the only one who can take you in is me, and only the Azure Emperor Pirates. Tell me why I can't trust you!" "If the Azure Emperor doesn't mind my old age, I'm willing to entrust the rest of my life to Azure Emperor!" Sebast said, kneeling on one knee.
"An elder in the family is a treasure, how could I possibly dislike him? Your experience is exactly what I need. From today onwards, you will be a steward of my Azure Emperor Palace, in charge of Secret Affairs!" Zesi said.
" Secret Affairs?" Sebas was taken aback; he had never heard of it.
"This is a force I'm preparing to build up. It will be established under your command. Its purpose is to conduct espionage and intelligence gathering, whether it's the World Government, the other Four Emperors, or even the Azure Emperor Pirates themselves..." Zesi said.
Upon hearing Zesi's words, Sebast looked at Zesi in surprise.
Upon hearing Zesi's words, Sebast knew that Zesi intended to establish an intelligence agency.
This is not surprising; every power has its own intelligence system.
As a top assassin, Sebas is also very knowledgeable about intelligence.
Because the most important thing for an assassin is not how strong he is, but his intelligence capabilities.
If intelligence is gathered well, even if one's strength is insufficient, it is often easy to kill the opponent, because everyone has weaknesses.
Although once you reach his level of strength, intelligence is no longer that important.
But he too had risen from weakness.
His exceptional intelligence-gathering abilities are a testament to his remarkable achievements in becoming a legend in the assassin world.
So Zesi asked him to build an intelligence system, which Sebast didn't find difficult.
To his surprise, the intelligence system that the Azure Emperor wanted to establish not only collected and spyed on enemy forces, but also included his own pirate crew. 5.1. Ordinary pirates rarely spy on their own people.
Even if such an organization existed, it wouldn't be established specifically for it.
Those who would do this are usually World Government, major kingdoms, and so on.
It seems the Azure Emperor Pirates are more than just a pirate crew.
"Can you do it?" Zesi asked, noticing Sebast's momentary daze.
"Reporting to my lord, all espionage and intelligence gathering require one thing: money. With money, there's no intelligence system that can't be established!" "Money? Heh, our Azure Emperor Pirates is so poor right now that we only have money left!" Zesi said with a faint smile.
