Chapter 42: CP0 and the Draconians (Part I)
"Ahh Lingling, you can't ...... Spare me! The barely calm expression on Tracey's face was completely replaced by pain and horror in the blink of an eye.
The pain of tearing the soul has been deeply experienced by Mousse before, especially Stresie's soul is completely divided this time, which is more painful, and compared with the pain, he is about to lose a lot of lifespan, and even the youth and beauty that women value the most, which makes Stracey's soul fly away......
"Well, for the sake of your previous friendships, just take away your fifty years of life!" After hearing Charlotte Lingling's words, Tracey immediately thought of suicide.
Stacey, who had undergone brutal training, was not very afraid of death, but suddenly became an ugly old woman, which made it difficult for her, who had always been conceited and beautiful, to accept it no matter what.
Although the weapon has been taken away, Strixy is extremely adept at the six-style "finger gun", and has even learned to kill even enemies stronger than her in a single shot, let alone herself, with a more lethal but silent enhanced version of the "finger gun".
But just as Stancy raised her hand to give herself a shot, the instinct to survive made her hesitate for a moment.
And because of this extra moment, Strixy finally noticed that her fingers were still as white and tender as ivory, and her face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and she raised her head and asked, "Is this ...... Haven't I gotten old? ”
"Auntie, don't you know? Life expectancy is from back to front (in the comics, Pedro has fifty years less life expectancy and no signs of aging), Auntie, how old are you, and how old are you now, of course your appearance will not get old. Seeing this, Mousse explained a few words, and then suddenly his heart moved, realizing that his previous view of the soul tax was biased.
"Wait, since what is charged is the life expectancy of the aging period, the loss of one-seventh of the life span of the residents is actually far less than I originally thought! It is estimated that many people are willing to ...... from three years in old age to one year when they are young and strong."
In addition, the nations do not levy additional taxes or require forced labor, and they also provide basic public services such as food, housing, education, and national security free of charge......
Obviously, Charlotte Lingling collects the souls of the inhabitants for her own entertainment, although the motives are not good, but from the perspective of the inhabitants, living in the nations is already happier than most of the countries in the One Piece world.
For ordinary people who do not have outstanding talents, it can be called a paradise on earth......
Mousse developed a stronger identification with the nations and the family, and Tracey quickly emerged from the brief surprise.
Not getting old was good news, but the loss of fifty years of life was painful for Strixie.
But now that she had calmed down, Stancy figured it out and realized that Charlotte Lingling must have had another plan to just take most of her life and not kill her directly.
"Are you trying to blackmail me into serving him? Hehe, Lingling, you still don't understand how powerful the world government is, even with my help, you can't win! There is not even half a hope of victory! Those fifty years of life are gone, and you can live for more than ten years, or even longer, and if you want to get on your thief ship, you will probably die in a year or two, and the old lady is not so stupid! ”
What's more, as a veteran agent of CP0, Stracey thinks that he is loyal to his master, how can he be coerced into submission with a mere fifty years of life?
But having said that, ants are still greedy, and it's always good to live a few more years.
Although Stacey is unwilling to betray her master in order to regain her lifespan, she also does not want to provoke Charlotte Lingling to die now.
Therefore, for Mousse, he asked him to go back for BIG· The MOM Pirates asked for a briefing, but she still agreed.
Seeing that Tracey agreed to be an internal response, Charlotte Lingling's face couldn't help but smile, and when she thought of the friendship between the two in the past, she was even a little ashamed in her heart.
But Mousse was not so easy to fool, the smile on his face looked harmless to humans and animals, and the words that came out of his mouth made Streic's heart tighten, "Auntie, it's great that you are willing to agree, I have been curious about CP0 since I was a child, Auntie doesn't know if she can stay for a while to satisfy my curiosity?" ”
Charlotte Lingling didn't understand her son's thoughts, but she unexpectedly came to a divine assist, "Mousse, you can just ask Hormitz directly later, why delay other people's time?" Anyway, (independent) Homiz has all her memories......"
Rao is Tracey has been tested for a long time as an ace agent, and she couldn't help but turn pale when she heard the latter sentence.
Yes, Homiz can obtain the memory of the original owner, which means that she has actually confessed all the information she knows, so even if she is unwilling in her heart, she has actually betrayed her master.
And since he is already a traitor, a feeling of "breaking the jar and breaking it" suddenly came to his heart......
However, Mousse did not withdraw his request because of Charlotte Lingling's words, the independent Homiz will theoretically inherit all the memories of the original owner, but even if he himself, it is impossible to make all the memories clear, not to mention that even a creature may not be a mere Homitz?
Therefore, Mousse still insisted on asking me, and then compared it with Homitz's answer, and also tested whether Stracey really complied.
BIG· Although the intelligence network of the MOM Pirates claims to be the best in the industry (pirates), it is not a professional spy organization like Cipher Pol after all.
The information that senior officials such as Captain Charlotte Lingling and Katakuri are interested in will invest a lot of resources to investigate, which is quite efficient, but those information that does not have high-level attention will rarely be collected.
And although Mousse is deeply favored by his mother, after all, he is too young to have the permission to let the family's intelligence network do private work for him.
Therefore, Mousse's understanding of the world is still very inadequate, and even less understanding of an organization like CP0, which is itself extremely secretive, so that he can only start with its most basic organizational structure......
"Peripheral and temporary personnel and institutions are not counted, at present, CP0 has a total of 5 brigades, 20 squadrons, and 60 squads. I'm only an 'elite' agent now, and I don't have an 'ace', and if I stay in the Holy Land Mary Joy, I guess I can be a squad at best...... Team vice, right? Mousse couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
With Tracey's strength actually ranking outside a hundred, CP0's overall strength is only stronger than he estimated, and it is even more terrifying that such a powerful organization is rarely known to the outside world......
However, the key to the strength of the world power of One Piece still depends on the strong at the top, and the role of the second and third rate is limited, so Mousse is most concerned about whether the legendary "Draconian's strongest shield" can really be compared with the admiral as Sister Carmelite said back then......
