The desert prime minister in the pirate

In the past few days, Kakuzu hasn't been out of the hotel very much. During the day, he was drawing charts and researching Haki in the hotel, and at night, he went to various bars to gather information.There are very few erotic activities in the bars here, and the billiards atmosphere is very strong, even with the corner players playing billiards.

There are also maps of the Seven Waters Capital hanging on the wall of the hotel living room, which are too secret even for the time being.

The main ones are tourist maps of various years and early sewer structure diagrams.

"Click" The metal handle of the guest room door was turned, and an undetectable steel wire was pulled as the door handle turned, flashing a cold light in the sunlight.

In the living room, Kodou frowned irritably as he was deep in thought about the information on the wall. His standing posture with his arms folded did not change, but his right arm turned into an afterimage.

If there is a third person present, Kakuzu will seem to have an extra arm the moment he takes action. This is a super-high-speed finger gun.

This finger gun accurately cut off the undetectable steel wire in the air instantly. After the steel wire fell to the floor, it seemed to sink into the floor, completely indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Since coming to the pirate world, Kakuzu's appetite has continued to increase, and his body has become stronger day by day. Kakuzu speculates that this may be a passive localization.

Because it was developing in a good direction for the time being, Kakuzu simply made a record and didn't pay much attention to it.The current situation is not that easy yet. There are only some rough guesses about the follow-up movements of the Navy and the World Government, and there is still a lot of information that has not yet been sorted out.

After cutting off the wire, he no longer paid attention to the movement outside the door. It was not that his vigilance had dropped. On the contrary, it was because he could vaguely judge the identity of the person who came by simply listening to the rhythm of the footsteps of different people coming.

The steps were steady and powerful, and there was the sound of friction between the scabbard and the belt as he walked. The friction sound was mixed with the sound of the brown paper bag being squeezed and pulled.

"Yo Jiaodu, it's the Mask Festival outside, why don't you go out for a walk? This is a grand event held every three years in the City of Seven Waters."

Kobra held large and small brown paper bags and wore a crocodile head mask on his face. "I brought you croissants and lamb chops, and fresh white pepper."

Perhaps it was because there were so many things that Cobra was a little confused.

Kakuzu took it and placed the paper bags one by one on the dining table of the hotel's own kitchenette.

"Hahahahaha, there are also local meat and vegetables, this is a must-have. I ate this for lunch, the taste is so amazing!"

As he spoke, Kobra mysteriously took out a bottle of brandy and a package of sealed meat and potatoes from another paper bag.

"Have you bought the glasses I want?" Kakuzu did not take the brandy handed by Kobra, but poured a glass of ice water. The living customs here in the Capital of Seven Waters tend to be Western, and boiled water is basically not always available.

As for Brandy Kakuzu, he also likes it very much, but as the brain of this small team, he naturally needs to stay awake at all times.

"Ah?! Glasses." Cobra thought of something as if he was electrocuted. "Um, glasses, this... this, this..." Cobra scratched his head in embarrassment with a stiff expression.

"Breathe" Kakuzu took a deep breath and let it out heavily. "You didn't buy it, did you? Kobra, you idiot, I only arranged this one task for you."

"I bought it, I bought it for you, and I bought you the best glasses in the store, which are polished and shaped from a whole piece of crystal."

"Hey, you idiot, what are you doing? Ordinary glass will do. Don't waste my money!" Kakuzu was instinctively sensitive to the word expensive, and was a little unhappy.

"You get what you pay for, you get what you pay for, hehehe." Cobra rubbed his hands in embarrassment, feeling that he seemed to have messed up something again.

"You get what you pay for? That's not something you can say..." Kakuzu put down the information in his hand and glanced at Kobra suspiciously.

He was studying the sewer system of the City of Seven Waters in great detail and even had black and white photos of parts of the sewers. To be honest, after studying these things, Kakuzu didn't really want to have lunch.

Kobra took out a carved wooden box inlaid with silver threads from a brown paper bag. It looked like a waste at first sight.

"Hahahaha, the store owner said, 'You get what you pay for.' These are the unique crystal gold-rimmed glasses in their store," Kobra said as if he had made a profit, and was proud without blushing; "I But he only spent 150 million Baileys to take away his only treasure."

"Okay, okay, since it is a physical object, it can still be cashed in after all...this!" Kakuzu took the wooden box and opened it, looking at the lonely monocle in the box in shock, and was speechless for a long time.

"My eyes feel uncomfortable after reading information for a long time. I need to wear glasses to relieve the pressure on my eyeballs. What's the point of buying a monocle?" Kakuzu felt so tired in his heart and body, and it was really difficult to lead the team.

"Hey...tsk" Jiaodu pinched the monocle, sighed softly and clicked his tongue in displeasure.

The original group of highly efficient subordinates all had ulterior motives.Now this partner who can depend on his life is basically no different from a mentally retarded person.

No matter whether it's a partner or a subordinate, there is no one who makes me worry.

It seems that some plans need to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Kakuzu's idea is that if his subordinates and friends are not good enough, then he can teach by himself.A group of students came out to share the worries of his mentor. The project was codenamed "Hawaii Project".

...

"Hahahahaha, I knew you would worry about the monocle, Kakuzu, so... ding ding ding!" Kobra looked at the silent Kakuzu and took out another identical one from the bag. glasses case.

"You idiot, you were deceived again. Since they are 'unique crystal and gold-rimmed glasses in the store', how can there be two identical ones!"

"You are an incompletely evolved life form, a genetically mutated alien, a kindergarten-level primary school student, and a frog with severe dementia!" Kakuzu broke the defense on the spot.

While cursing, he narrowed his eyes and slowly shook his head.The expression seemed as if the person standing across from him was not Kobra, but a gorilla eating boogers in the zoo.

"It's really hard for your two subordinates that you are so stupid that you can sail on the sea for so long." Kakuzu picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip to moisten his throat before scolding, "You are also a kind of A different kind of sea spectacle, right? If you insist on classifying levels, you fool, you will have to be a legend!"

"I'm a prince! I..." Cobra was a little anxious, shouting something about being the heir to the royal family or something like that.

"Oh, really, then I want to give you an award? Is there any connection between whether you are a prince and whether you are an idiot? Or are you born with some intellectual disability in the royal bloodline?"

Kakuzu looked at the two monocles he bought for 300 million beli, and became increasingly annoyed.

Just buy the glasses as monocles.

It’s okay if glass glasses are sold as crystal glasses.

It’s okay if the gold-plated ones are sold as pure gold.

The most annoying thing is...

"I also bought it so that you can wear the best glasses for both eyes..." Cobra felt that his starting point was good.

"Both of these two are right eyes. Can you tell the difference between left and right? Can you tell the difference between left and right? Even if you follow your stupid logic, you should buy one left and one right, right?"

Kakuzu's heart was bleeding. This was all his hard-earned money. It was really hard to guard against thieves day and night.

Angered for a moment, Jiaodu slammed the table, and the items on the table banged loudly from the sudden blow.Originally, with Kakuzu's strength, it wouldn't be a problem to smash it to pieces, but this table doesn't look cheap...

Grandet Kakuzu asked him to choose between 'being defrauded of 300 million' or 'being stabbed three times', and he would definitely choose to have someone stab him three times.

"Oh...I bought the wrong thing!" Kobra made a fist with his right hand and hammered it hard on his left palm, as if he suddenly realized it.

"..." Speechless.

"You just said you were a prince. Which country is so unlucky?" Kakuzu heard some important information, and the poker face he had developed during his ninja career came into play again, and he began to talk like a conditioned reflex.

Entering the ninja school at the age of six, and having been a ninja for 23 years, Kakuzu has a poker face that shows no emotion, and the induction interrogation techniques that are almost engraved in his bones and have now become instinctive.

He pulled up a chair and sat down. The monocle was shared with Kobra. Kakuzu no longer bothered about the glasses issue, as if he had really calmed down, and raised his hand to signal to Kobra. Sit down and talk.

Although Kobra may not be blamed for the glasses, things like IQ largely depend on innateness.The Grand Route proposes changing its name to the Intellectually Retarded Route.

"Well, my full name is Neferutali Kobra. I am the only son of the 11th king of the Kingdom of Alabasta, and the man who will inherit the throne in the future!" Kobra also pulled up a chair and sat down. Talk freely with Kakuzu.

"Only son? Humph, I think you are a complete child. Alabasta is a country with great potential, but with this royal bloodline, I think there should be some genetic brain disease."

Kakuzu picked up the cup, pulled down his mask, and took a big gulp of ice water to relieve the heat.

"Hey, don't keep attacking me personally! My father is very smart. He saw my inexperience and asked me to go to sea to train myself."

"Your father is not only smart, he is also far-sighted."

"Compared to the enemy's army, having an heir like you is a devastating disaster to the country."

"And I assure you as a medical ninja, your inexperience cannot explain this. You must be... uh, how should I put it?"

"You must be a person who suffers from organic damage to the brain, or due to incomplete brain development, which causes persistent obstacles to cognitive activities and logical thinking difficulties." Kakuzu put on his mask again and gave it to the patient in an academic manner. Kobra introduced the condition.

The two of them were eating the special delicacies of the City of Seven Waters while chatting away from each other. Kakuzu would make sarcastic remarks about Kobra from time to time.Cobra wasn't angry either, he was just talking about adventures and dreams, all of which seemed meaningless.

Kobra really has many, many shortcomings, but he is currently the only companion that Kakuzu can let go of his guard and barely trust.

Although Kakuzu would occasionally use the words he used when he was a ninja to induce and psychologically suggest Cobra, he really didn't mean to do this.

After being a ninja for a long time, it has become difficult to chat with people normally.With Kobra's current state, Kakuzu is already at his most relaxed.Even if this is necessary, Kobra's information has been tricked by Kakuzu.

This feeling was surprisingly good. It had been a long, long time since Kakuzu had communicated with someone like this.

No torture, no assassination, no wanted, no pursuit.You can laugh and curse without restraint with your companions.Don't worry about the other side launching ninjutsu in the next second.

The sky of the Grand Line is much brighter than that of the Ninja World. The sky in Kakuzu's hometown in the Ninja World has always been dim, and Kakuzu doesn't like it.

He liked the climate of the Grand Line very much, at least the first half of where Kakuzu was located was pretty good.

From his perspective as a half-geographer, most areas in the first half of the Great Line have heavy rainfall throughout the year, and it is relatively concentrated in summer and autumn. There is no obvious dry season, and there is often rainfall from the terrain.

It is definitely a zone with a tropical maritime monsoon climate.

It is indeed more comfortable to retire in the Grand Line than in the ninja world. Although I was originally planning to settle down in the World Government, going to Alabasta seems to be a good choice.

I just don't know why, but looking at the two identical glasses, Kakuzu always has a strange feeling in his heart.
