Chapter 96: John's Treasure? Terrifying Intelligence Network
As Rocks' words fell.
Although Golden Lion Shiki felt unwilling, this was still an order from the captain after all.
His current strength was indeed very strong, but if he clashed head-on with a monster like Rocks, he had absolutely no confidence of winning!
So he could only obediently stop his actions.
He glanced at Lotte and snorted coldly.
"Brat, this spar doesn't count. Next time, we'll settle it once and for all!"
The more outstanding Lotte performed,
The more Golden Lion Shiki wanted to recruit him into his own pirate crew.
After all, if he could successfully bring someone with such terrifying talent into his crew,
After the Rocks Pirates disbanded,
The other party would definitely become his most reliable right-hand man!
Lotte also shrugged his shoulders.
"Golden Lion, you missed this chance. Who knows when the next one will come."
"And even if we meet next time, the winner will undoubtedly be me."
This one-year promise.
Was already the biggest chance Lotte had given Golden Lion.
If even this opportunity couldn't be grasped, then in the future when he fully grew up, the gap between them would only grow wider and wider.
Next time they met for a spar,
He would probably have an absolute advantage in nine out of ten cases.
Speaking of which,
Rocks actually had some kind of special mission,
It felt a bit strange.
Lotte narrowed his eyes slightly,
His intuition told him that the mission Rocks was assigning this time was unusual. If he guessed right, there was a high chance there was some trickery involved.
But now wasn't the time to turn against Rocks.
Though his strength was already extremely powerful, compared to Rocks he was still more than a notch below.
That guy still hadn't revealed his Devil Fruit ability to this day,
Truly worthy of being the existence that dominated the New World.
Whitebeard Newgate also raised an eyebrow, casting a somewhat suspicious glance at Rocks.
What kind of special mission needed to be carried out at this critical moment? After all, they were about to head to the legendary God Valley soon.
Why choose this timing specifically.
Lotte raised his guard a bit more and walked straight along the path into the captain's cabin.
He saw Rocks' figure sitting calmly on the luxurious chair.
Upon seeing Lotte arrive,
A hearty smile appeared on his face.
"Lotte, there's a special mission I need you to handle."
"After you finish it, come straight back. The coordinates of God Valley will also be given to you."
"Make sure to stay safe."
As his words fell.
Lotte raised an eyebrow and looked at Rocks with some curiosity as he asked.
"What kind of mission needs to be done at this time? Isn't the big war with Marine Headquarters about to start soon?"
"When the battle breaks out, it will be no small matter. Won't there be problems without me there?"
"Those Marines aren't pushovers."
Hearing this,
Rocks immediately laughed heartily and said.
"Lotte, you can rest completely assured. Those Marines aren't even in my eyes!"
"Moreover, your talent is simply too astonishing. The Marines have probably been eyeing you for a long time already. This is also to let you avoid them immediately."
"The Marines wouldn't send extra forces just to intercept you, right?"
As his words fell.
Lotte couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
Just as the other party said, at this stage the Marines should all be gathering toward God Valley. After all, that was the location controlling Uranus.
Whether it was the World Government or the Marines,
Logically, they would deploy all their forces there.
Moreover, with his current strength, even if one Admiral came, the success rate of escaping seemed to be 100%.
In that case, going to carry out the mission was actually not a bad choice.
But would Rocks really be so kind?
Everyone knew that guy planned to kill him after the plan succeeded. He obviously wasn't someone with a broad mind.
Lotte narrowed his eyes and chuckled lightly.
"Captain Rocks seems to really care about me. I wonder what the content of this mission is?"
"Since it needs to be done at this time, it must be quite important, right."
Lotte still decided to first hear what this mission was about,
Then make his plans.
Rocks took a swig of sake and laughed heartily as he looked at Lotte.
"You brat really aren't straightforward, but it's just to take care of some external factors right now."
Then Rocks said in a deep voice.
"According to the intelligence I currently have, there is a document hidden in the archive room of Marine G5 Branch. It's speculated to be related to God Valley."
"You were able to disappear for the past half year and avoid the Navy's surveillance ships, so this should be easy for you."
"I think you're the most suitable for this mission."
As his voice fell.
Lotte couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Even in the original story, this matter had never been mentioned. Although most of G-5 Branch consisted of Navy scum.
But about what happened back then, not a single word was mentioned.
Even Lotte couldn't act as a prophet at this moment; he could only act based on his own intuition.
Rocks held his Vivre Card in his hand,
He could judge from the direction whether he was heading to the Navy branch or not.
While Lotte was deep in thought.
Rocks' voice fell calmly once again.
"I don't know how you're considering it, Lotte. As long as you can complete this trip."
"The treasure that guy John has been hiding will all belong to you."
As his words fell.
Lotte subconsciously raised his head to look at the other party.
He saw Rocks looking at him calmly, taking out a small box from his bosom and handing it over.
"That guy John always thought he hid the treasure behind my back without me finding out. In reality, I was just too lazy to deal with him."
"Over the years, the contributions he made weren't few."
"So I don't plan to pursue him too much. These treasures just need to be taken back."
Lotte suddenly fell silent for a moment.
It seemed that Rocks' intelligence network was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
As a cadre on the ship, John had definitely hidden the treasure very carefully, but even so, it couldn't escape Rocks' ears and eyes.
However, according to the original story.
The treasure John hid was definitely an enormous amount!
Among them, there were probably many Devil Fruits and such, which would be of great help to Lotte in building his pirate crew and forces in the future.
After hesitating repeatedly.
Lotte still reached out and took the box.
He replied calmly.
"I understand. Then leave this matter to me."
Then he turned and left without hesitation.
Rocks sat alone quietly on the chair, watching Lotte's departing figure.
