Chapter 104: Decline

Marie Geoa, the Navy Headquarters... The Warring States Period looked very bad at this moment, but she still held a phone bug in a normal manner, while Cap on the other side had an attitude of not paying attention to it.

An old voice came from the phone bug. Although it had already revealed the vicissitudes of time and time, the majesty contained in it still made the figure standing in front of the Warring States Period put away the brilliance on his face.

"Spandam... As the chief of the former Navy department, you shoulder the responsibility of guarding the judicial island, but you escaped alone when the pirates attacked the judicial island. This responsibility was enough to allow us to revoke all our expectations for you..."

Hearing the above words, Spandam, who was standing in front of the Warring States Period, also showed an uncomfortable look, but this was not enough to disturb his good mood, because he knew that what the people on the phone bug were going to say next was what he wanted to listen to.

"But..." The voice from the phone bug paused, revealing a hint of helplessness: "The trust of the nobles in the world in the world allows us to trust you again... From today on, we will give you the position of a special search officer, and we can freely mobilize any army except the headquarters, and at the same time give you the right to freely launch the "Demon Slaying Order"... I hope you will not let us down again... Then, the subsequent tasks will be issued directly by the Navy headquarters..."

"Yes! I will definitely implement absolute justice in every corner of the world!" Spandam immediately swore loudly, and the Phone Bug obviously had no patience to listen to his words, and the Phone Bug's head drooped directly.

After putting away the phone bug, the Warring States face was still gloomy. The appointment of Spandam by the Five Elders just now made him realize that there was an excessive power in his naval headquarters, and this was exactly the taboo of any outstanding leader. However, the privilege given by the Five Elders just now did not allow Spandam to mobilize the army of the headquarters. This at least calmed the face of the Warring States a little, and Kap next to him waved his hand bored: "Ah, okay, the appointment is over, you can let me rest..."

Nodded and signaled to Karp to leave. Warring States looked at Spandam. The other party was carefully putting away the ecstatic expression in his eyes, and instead putting on a normal look, as if he was planning to listen carefully to his words.

Despicable and hypocritical rogue! The Warring States cursed inwardly. It was not that he didn't know when Spandam was a minion, but now he had to accept that this guy already had power comparable to him. He nodded with a gloomy face, and the Warring States looked at Spandam: "Then, you have also heard the arrangements above, especially the search officer. You can now use your speculation to find any place you want to investigate... When you come back, you only need to write an investigation report and submit it... Are there any questions?"

"Ah... no, no more... Mr. Warring States..." Spandam was not a stupid person. He had seen the dissatisfaction of Warring States with him, so he did not intend to continue to stay, but still retreated as timidly as before. He knew very well that even if he had considerable power now, if he angered these real powerful factions, then what awaited him would be destruction, just like the person who overestimated his ability to challenge the demon on the Bridge of Hesitation that day.

Thinking of this, Spandam shivered and did not care about paying attention to other things. Instead, he hurriedly walked towards his residence. At this time, a figure wearing a naval cloak passed by his body and walked straight towards the Marshal's room. Spandam, who had just turned around and wanted to scold, suddenly shut up after seeing the figure clearly, and did not care about anything else, but quickly left the place. The figure, which had almost wrapped his whole body with a black cloak, looked back at him and nodded thoughtfully, then pushed open the door in front of him and walked straight into the Marshal's room.

The Swordsman sat at his desk with his forehead covering his forehead. The tall and thin figure did not look at him, but lifted the black cloak on his body, revealing a face wearing sunglasses, looked at the Swordsman half teasingly, and then sat casually on the sofa next to him: "What's wrong? Mr. Warring States, at this time, he sent someone to release me from the prison by using the method of stealing the slander. What's wrong?"

"..." He raised his head and looked at the person who came. The Warring States Period frowned, but he still didn't make a sound immediately. Instead, he waited for the other party to cross his legs and sit firmly before speaking: "Long time no see you... General Kizaru..."

"Hehehehe...why are you saying this at this time?" Kizaru waved his hand indifferently: "I know, no matter how hard the world nobles say, you can't refuse... That little guy just now seemed to make you very upset? What's wrong?"

"..." The Warring States Period also knew that the other party saw his true feelings, and no longer concealed it, but spoke directly: "That guy got the golden apple and dedicated it to the nobles of the world. So, now he is the fifth person who can freely launch the "Demon Slaying Order". I think he must have had some deal with that demon. In order to successfully ensure the plan that our navy needs to implement at the moment, I need a person with enough strength to secretly monitor him... You are the most suitable candidate now..."

"Oh... is it? This has caused me a problem..." Kizaru touched his chin and waved his hand indifferently: "Originally, I planned to wait for my release in the prison of the headquarters, but now I have a new task, um... Let me think about it, it was this time that I stepped out of the gate of the Navy headquarters, and saw my wanted order floating around in the sky, right? Hehe, if that's the case, Mr. Warring States Period, how much bounty do you want to give me?"

"!!!" Warring States Period's face turned a little gloomy, but still spoke: "You can rest assured that this is true. You also know the significance of the three generals of the Navy to the Navy. I can use my personality to guarantee the situation you mentioned above, and it will never happen..."

"Oh... is that right?" Still in the half-dead tone, Kizaru stood up and shook his naval cloak: "If that happens, I won't worry... But I still think that after this mission is completed, I will re-design my subordinates to me. After all, it has been used for decades, and if I change it, I will not get used to it..."

"Don't worry, I plan so too..." Looking at Kizaru, Warring States face finally eased a little: "You can freely mobilize them on the way to perform this mission. I hope you can make this mission perfect..."

Without talking, Kizaru turned around and left the Marshal's room directly. The Warring States Period, sitting in his seat, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only the goat next to him looked at him with a little strange look, as if surprised by his unusual troubles.

At the same time, Spandam, who returned to his residence, was not so relaxed. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have something that should not belong to him, but this right that he longed for for some unknown time made him unable to let go.

After gritting his teeth, Spandam simply stopped thinking about those troublesome things and planned to have a good sleep and leave the Navy headquarters early tomorrow morning. However, this night seemed destined not to make him feel at ease.

"Spandam...Spandam... Wake up..." When the night had already fallen, Spandam, who was lying on the bed, was awakened by a sound. This call that seemed to come from the depths of hell suddenly made the timid guy sleepless and raised his head tremblingly. Spandam reflexively wanted to call out the soldiers outside, but a force firmly closed his mouth, and the voice again reached Spandam's ears with a playful meaning: "Spandam, it's me, the demon Kasa... your contractor..."

"Devil...Kasa..." Spandum's cold sweat suddenly flowed down, and he nodded with a strong mental apology: "Oh...yes...you...what is there anything?"

As he said this, Spandam kept searching in his room, trying to find out the source of the sound, but what made him frustrated and then frightened was that he had not found any suspiciousness in the room at all.

"Go to the mirror... I have guidance for you..." The voice came again, and Spandam had to barely get up and walk to the mirror in the room. Suddenly, the scene in front of him made Spandam's cold sweat soak into his pajamas. In the mirror, Spandam's left eye was emitting a strange blood light, and this light passed through Spandam's left eye pupils, and a figure in a black cloak was reflected in the mirror. Suddenly, Spandam was so scared that he sat on the ground. He could only look at the mirror with trembling, completely losing the ability to speak.

The figure in the mirror laughed softly: "Why are you so scared? Didn't you say that you would do anything for your strength when you made a contract with me? Even if you betray your soul? What's wrong? What's going on with this expression now?"

"This...this..." Wiping away the cold sweat from his forehead, Spandam barely stood up and forced himself to look at the figure in the mirror: "Is Ka... Lord Kassa? Haha... Is there anything you have to do with this late?"

"Of course... it's a guide for you..." The figure in the mirror still remains unchanged: "Go to Alabastan... and find a man named Cam Rio, give him my orders, and rebuild the Casarolin Chamber of Commerce. And you, go wake up something sleeping in the Alabastan desert. I think, maybe you will also like that..."

"Ah? Could it be..." Spandam, who was in extreme fear, suddenly thought of a possibility, and another feeling of extreme excitement made him feel dizzy: "What do you mean... Could it be..."

"Hahaha...it's not a good thing to guess too much..." The figure in the mirror seemed to blink strangely: "The truth of everything will be clear...you should feel honored...so...got!!"

After saying this, the figure in the mirror suddenly disappeared. Spandam was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was still sitting on the ground. The cold temperature of the floor made him curse. At this time, the guard's voice sounded outside the door: "Sir! There seems to be a strange sound in your room, don't you worry?"

"Shut up! I can't get up now! Come in and help me up!" Spandam, who found his legs weak, roared viciously: "Also! Go and prepare a boat for me! I'm going to set off for Alabastan tonight! Now! Immediately! Do you understand?"
