Chapter 262 - Target

"Ahem…"

Baccarat coughed for a long time.

But she didn't dislike it at all and drank all the milk tea that Luke had just made for her.

And then she carefully cleaned up the mess.

"Thank you, Luke-sama…"

After taking the cup handed over by Luke to rinse her mouth gently, Baccarat leaned on Luke.

Her black dress vividly showed her sexy and charming figure.

Looking at the handsome face in front of her with big eyes, she showed unspeakable admiration and fascination, even with the fanaticism that could not be concealed: "Leaving the World Government for less than a year, you have become the majestic Emperor of the Sea and even pulled the Marines down from the position of the overlord of the sea. You are really amazing!"

Although she firmly believes that Luke will definitely become the king of the world in the future, Baccarat never thought that the other party could develop to such a level in such a short time and become the emperor of the sea with a great reputation.

Moreover, even two admirals of the Marines died, and two admiral candidates were captured.

"In what aspect?"

Luke's mouth corners slightly raised.

He gently pinched Baccarat's beautiful face with a smile.

His luck has been so good since he left the World Government, to the point he developed in everything he does so smoothly.

Although his own efforts and talents are the main reasons, Baccarat also contributed a lot.

Because all along, this lucky girl, who is the Paramecia Luck-Luck Fruit user, often prays for him.

A few years ago, he asked the other party to use her Devil Fruit ability every day to absorb a certain amount of luck from some unlucky people.

To pray for her master and bless himself.

However, it is not clear which specific aspects of the good luck that Baccarat prayed for have been fulfilled.

But overall, it is obviously very effective.

Moreover, because she prays for himself every day, Luke finds that this girl seems to have been brainwashed by herself under the subtle influence of day after day for a long time.

She has completely become his loyal and devout believer, to the point that if he asks her to commit suicide, she would not hesitate and do it directly.

"It's the same in every aspect!"

Baccarat blushed.

She rolled her eyes with a reproachful look.

Handsome appearance, golden ratio figure, unbelievably powerful strength, dominating the sea... even super endurance.

It's simply perfect and impeccable.

It really makes people unable to stop.

"Luke-sama, this time you asked Tesoro to prepare 100 billion Belly at once, which gave him a headache!"

While stroking Luke's strong muscles, she smiled and said: "Because just building the Gran Tesoro and bribing the World Government to designate this place as the absolute sanctuary where no one is allowed to attack, it has already cost him a huge amount of money."

"In addition, the Gran Tesoro has just been in operation for a short time. Although it can be said that it makes a lot of money every day, especially the profits from operating the casino, which is just like printing money, it is not easy to come up with so much money in a short period of time!"

With the support and endorsement of the World Government, the Gran Tesoro can gain the trust of the princes, nobles, gentry, and wealthy businessmen all over the world.

It can continuously attract these fat sheep and slowly slaughter them.

"This is his business; I only care about the result, not the process!" 

Luke said lightly. If it was Robin, Reiju, Baccarat, and other confidants, he could still be understanding and wouldn't push so hard. 

But for a guy like Tesoro who turned his back on him, although he didn't really betray him, and he wouldn't dare to do it in the future. 

But the current Netherworld Pirates are no longer the group they used to be. If he can't do it, there are plenty of people who can take over everything, and they are even happy to do it. 

At this time, at the top of the Red Line. The Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

"Your Excellency the Five Elders…" 

A masked CP9 official, kneeling on one knee, reported to the Five Elders: "According to the information we have compiled, some witnesses on the Grand Line in recent days have claimed that they have seen hideous shadow monsters appearing in dark corners…"

"We suspect that Obask Luke may send them to collect intelligence!"

"What?"

"Is it the kind of shadow monster that Obask Luke created with the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit?"

"If that's the case, it will be troublesome!"

Hearing the CP9 official's report, the Five Elders' eyes shrank.

Almost immediately, they had already confirmed this possibility, and their faces were grim.

Unexpectedly, those shadow monsters actually had such abilities; without the need for Obask Luke to personally control them, they could freely shuttle through the shadows.

It was simply impossible to guard against.

If there were tens of thousands or even more such monsters, freely moving in and out of the ubiquitous shadows, collecting intelligence for the Netherworld Pirate all over the world… just thinking about it made their scalp numb.

St. Jaygarcia Saturn's face was gloomy: "Just a little carelessness, the candidate originally selected was decisively seized by him and killed directly."

"Obask Luke…"

St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro wiped his sword, reflecting his eyes that revealed a murderous intent: "I really underestimated that kid!"

"But it's not so easy to get rid of him now…"

St. Marcus Mars put his hands in his pockets and paced there: "The ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit is too weird. Even if he is surrounded, if he wants to leave, there is no method to force him to stay!" 

"Let the Marines recover its strength and stabilize the situation in the sea first…"

St. Shepherd Ju Peter folded his arms and sat on the armrest of the sofa: "In the New World, let the CP agents slowly infiltrate the Netherworld Pirates and wait for the opportunity to act!"

"The foundation of the World Government is not something that a CP9 traitor like him can guess. No matter how strong he is, he can't really threaten us…"

St. Topman Warcury nodded: "At most, we can wait for him to grow old naturally!"

Over the long years, the World Government has also encountered difficult guys.

Why is Whitebeard called the uncrowned king?

Relying on the ability of the Quake-Quake Fruit, coupled with his own powerful strength, he can easily cause extremely exaggerated earthquakes and even huge tsunamis, which are really unsolvable.

But no matter how glorious it is, it is only for a few decades.

Now, the uncrowned king of the sea has undoubtedly grown old. According to the intelligence, his physical condition has already started declining. 

In another several years, the prestige of the world's strongest man will almost end. 

"In this case, the Op-Op Fruit user of the Netherworld Pirates is a threat!" 

St. Shepherd Ju Peter frowned and said in a deep voice: "Although it is not clear whether the traitor knows the ultimate ability of the Op-Op Fruit, we must be on guard!" 

Others don't know, but they know very well. The ultimate ability of the Op-Op Fruit is to perform the Immortality Operation on others, allowing someone to gain eternal life. 

Although the price is the death of the user of the Op-Op Fruit, they dare not to gamble, nor are they willing to gamble on such a possibility.

"Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar D. Water Law?"

St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro pushed his glasses and looked fierce: "Let those guys from the CP organization keep a close eye on the movements of the Netherworld Pirates and find a chance to get rid of the Op-Op Fruit user!"

"His existence is indeed a potential threat, and he must be eliminated!

"We must not let him perform the Immortality Operation on Obask Luke!"
