MTLNOVEL Chapter 169: You Can Do Anything You Want From Me!
After all, according to the information they had obtained, White Knight Gawain was very concerned about those people who were loyal to their companion.
It was for this reason that he let Gin go and even invited him to join his team and become his right-hand man.
Meeting Gin ahead of time disrupted their plan but also gave them another chance.
Lucci gritted his teeth and said: "This is my only companion now. No matter what, I will never let you—"
Before he could finish his words, he fell on his back as if he had completely lost his strength.
Relying on his Life Return ability, Lucci controlled the muscles throughout his body and tore open the wound completely, and blood instantly flowed all over the ground, making him appear more miserable.
"Please, save him!"
Kalifa lowered her head even lower, almost pressing it into the ground: "You can do anything you want from me!"
A trace of pity flashed across Gin's eyes simply because he thought of his past self.
Back in Raven Harbor, he was just like Kalifa, standing in front of Gawain in order to let Krieg survive, but he was still used as a tool by Krieg and almost died on the spot.
At this moment, Gin felt compassion but still remained rational.
After all, if his momentary behavior brought trouble to Gawain, he would never be able to accept it.
"I can pretend I wasn't here."
Kalifa's body paused slightly, and a hint of understanding appeared in her lowered eyes.
Obviously, she understood Gin's refusal.
However, the fact that he did not hand herself over to the Marines in exchange for the reward already shows that his character is consistent with what the intelligence reported.
Thinking of this, Kalifa raised her head as if she had made an important decision and said through gritted teeth: "I know who you are, Gin the Man-Demon, one of the new warlord's subordinates."
Gin's eyes narrowed, and his expression turned cold: "Do you know who I am?"
"Yes!"
Kalifa nodded: "At this point, there's no need for me to hide it from you."
"Lucci and I were once agents of the CP9 organization under the World Government."
"But after this mission, that bastard Spandam wanted to steal Captain John's treasure map and put the blame on us."
"That's why Lucci and I are being hunted by the World Government."
Kalifa showed an angry expression; her pretty face was almost distorted.
"Lucci and I decided to go all out and just grab the treasure map."
"As long as we have this treasure map, we can find Captain John's gold, which accounts for one-third of the world's gold."
"It will be useful to you and the White Knight Pirate behind you!"
Gin said calmly: "Aren't you afraid that I will just take the treasure map away?!"
Kalifa's pupils shrank.
Lucci, on the side, forced himself to open his eyes at this moment.
He sat up slowly, opened his mouth, and coughed out a large mouthful of blood, but the murderous aura in his body was more condensed than ever before.
"If you dare to attack her, I will kill you even if it means death. I mean what I say!"
As soon as these words were spoken, several pirates following behind Gin raised their flintlock rifles and looked coldly at Lucci and Kalifa.
At this moment, Lucci's heart suddenly sank.
Just because they were gambling this time.
He bet that the person in front of him would value him and that they would be interested in the secrets within the World Government. But since it was a bet, there was a possibility of losing.
Once they really fight with the man in front of them, all the previous arrangements will be ruined, and the future arrangement will be difficult.
Because at that time, the White Knight Pirate would certainly be prepared for such operations.
And when Lucci looked at Gin in front of him, there was only unspeakable caution in his eyes.
Although he had never fought with Gin, he could tell instinctively that the man standing in front of him was probably no weaker than a Rear-Amidral or even a Vice-Admiral from the Marine Headquarters.
If it were his heyday, Lucci would have no problem escaping, but it is hard to say now.
This is where the intelligence he had gained really went beyond that.
Not only did White Knight Gawain grow rapidly, but even his subordinates transformed within half a year and became truly strong.
After sensing this, Lucci becomes more certain that there is a secret hidden in the White Knight Pirate.
"Lucci!"
"Stop talking!"
Kalifa also realized the danger.
She turned her head and gave Lucci a look. Seeing that the latter understood and lowered his head without saying anything, she said to Gin: "If we die here, you will never get the treasure map!"
The warehouse fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere around it became freezing cold.
After a few seconds, the murderous aura on Gin's body subsided, and the coldness around him suddenly dissipated.
Kalifa felt her whole body lighten up, and then she saw a friendly smile on Gin's devil-like face: "Only the captain can decide whether to help you, but I can give you a chance to convince the captain."
After speaking, Gin took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms and dialed it. Then, Gawain's voice came from the receiver.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Gin?"
After giving a brief description of the situation here, Gin handed the Den Den Mushi to Kalifa.
"Mr. Gawain, I can give you the treasure map of Captain John, but I need you to protect me and my companions!"
There was no sound from Gawain in the receiver for a long time, and the scene fell silent for a moment. Both Gin and Kalifa were waiting for Gawain's decision.
At the other end, in the captain's cabin of the Raven.
Gawain pressed Den Den Mushi's microphone while thinking about the message sent back by Gin, and then the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
"I had just entered the Grand Line when Rob Lucci and Kalifa were hunted down for betraying the World Government. They even hid in the Red Rose Harbor, which I had to pass by."
"Spandam is a man who would kill the donkey after it has done its job and take the credit and put the blame on others. Given his character, he is indeed capable of doing such a thing, but ah…"
"But isn't this a bit too coincidental?"
Gawain's eyes gradually brightened.
He thought of Stussy.
As early as half a month before he left, Stussy's Pleasure District had already entered Raven Harbor and was even sought after by the nobles of the East Blue.
"So it was that woman who passed the news that I was going to enter the Grand Line back to the CP organization in advance."
"Is the World Government planning to plant spies under my command?"
Gawain did not find this strange. After all, the CP organization was responsible for this, and Lucci and his gang were very familiar with this kind of long-term latent mission.
In the original timeline on Enies Lobby, apart from Lucci's group hiding in Water 7, the CP9 organization led by Jabra had just completed their mission and returned not long ago.
The people they are executing are most likely people like Lucci.
Only this time, it's his turn.
Only then did Gawain realize that he had unknowingly entered the sight of the World Government.
Under normal circumstances, there is no reason to allow spies to enter his own ranks. After all, Gawain is not bored enough to make himself unhappy.
But if the person who came was Rob Lucci, then this matter is worth talking about.
The strongest genius in CP9 in the past 800 years, a Zoan fruit user, and proficient in the Six Styles of the Marines.
If he develops normally in the future, Rob Lucci will at least be at the level of Sweet Commander, Three Calamities, or Warlord of the Sea.
The key is that Lucci is a Zoan fruit user with at least Gold-level potential!
