Chapter 947 Undercover

...

"Smack smack smack... Mmm, delicious!"

Weebull kept stuffing food into his mouth with both hands.

"Cough cough..."

Ger slowly walked up to Shamrock, leaned close to his ear, and whispered a question.

"Alright, now that there are no World Government spies here, you can quietly reveal the secret you've kept in your heart for so many years."

"What do you mean?"

Shamlock opened his eyes and looked at Gel with a puzzled expression.

"You're actually an undercover agent, aren't you?"

"An undercover agent??"

"Stop pretending, brat. I've already seen through everything."

Ger said with a smile.

True to form, all the factions in this world love to play double agents, reaching the highest level of interdependence where "you are in me and I am in you."

Anyone can defect, and the more unexpected the person, the more likely they are to do so. Anyway, once the memory is patched up, it becomes reasonable and there were foreshadowing all along. In this light, the man in front of me has the potential to become an excellent undercover agent.

"What...what are you going to do? Let me go!"

Ignoring Shamrock's resistance, Captain Gle put his arm around his shoulder, making it seem as if the two had a very close relationship.

"You should know how your mother gave birth to you and how she died, right?"

Shamlock narrowed his eyes, trying his best to maintain a blank expression.

"The hatred for killing one's mother is irreconcilable. Unless one is a beast, how could one choose to recognize their enemy as their father after knowing the truth?"

Captain Gel raised an eyebrow smugly and continued.

"Hurry up and confess honestly, are you a Revolutionary Army comrade who infiltrated the Celestial Dragons? Or are you in cahoots with your good brother Shanks, planning to betray Old Man Deng and the Celestial Dragons at a crucial moment? To seize the world and avenge your mother?"

"?"

Shamrock was stunned.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a brilliant plan! A pirate emperor, a captain of the Divine Knights, plus their respective forces—without me, you might actually have had a chance to succeed!"

"What revolutionary army? What inside-outside collusion? How could I possibly be in cahoots with that lowly pirate? That's utter nonsense."

Shamrock quickly denied it.

"Still pretending, huh? It's fine if you don't admit it."

Gerr stroked his stubble and continued, seemingly still wanting more.

"By the way, your mother is a native of God Valley. So, if that's the case, you two brothers might also have half David blood flowing in your veins. Hehe, that's the Celestial Dragons' natural enemy!"

Shamlock's pupils suddenly contracted.

"That's really impressive. Possessing both the Celestial Dragon and the D bloodline of the David family, you can choose your own identity and stand on whichever side you want!"

"I don't understand what you're saying at all!"

Shamrock shouted.

"Huh? Why are you getting so worked up?"

Ger released his arm from her shoulder, took two steps back, and casually looked at Shamrock with a look of disdain.

"Could it be that I, the captain, am overthinking things? Are you really just a pure beast?"

"Damn it! You bastard!"

Shamlock felt like he'd been tricked, and even suspected that the guy had been talking for so long just to call him a beast!

"Alright, I've given you your chance. If you accidentally injure friendly forces after this, don't blame me, the captain."

Ger waved his hand and gave the order.

"Take this guy away and keep him under close guard. I'll have a more in-depth conversation with him when I have time later."

"Yes, boss! I'll take care of it!"

Rayleigh performed well.

"Crack!"

Gol pulled out a cigar, and Forsford skillfully snapped his fingers to create a flame, then stepped forward to light it for Captain Gol.

"Hu~~"

He exhaled a puff of white smoke, paused, and continued.

"Also, pack your things and move immediately with everyone. Let's sink Golden City to the bottom of the sea for now."

"Yes, Captain."

Tesoro looked reluctant, but nodded without hesitation.

"Huh? Why is that? Captain Gel, weren't the enemy already defeated?"

Uta asked, puzzled.

Having finally won the battle to defend the Golden City, Captain Gear's decision to sink his own ship is truly perplexing.

"Uta, don't question the captain's decision."

Tesoro interrupted him sternly.

"But the Golden City is clearly yours, Lord Tesoro, and Aunt Stella's..."

Uta looked aggrieved, and her voice became barely audible towards the end.

"Haha, don't be so serious, it's okay, it's normal to have questions."

Ger patted Uta's head and began to explain.

"You've all seen the teleportation ability of the Knights of God. We can't be sure if they've left teleportation magic circles in some corners of the Golden City, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time. So, to be on the safe side, we can only sink the Golden City into the sea first, and then retrieve it after we've completely eliminated any future troubles."

"I see, as expected of Boss Ge'er! He always considers things so thoroughly!"

Forzford gave a thumbs-up as a sign of respect.

"Don't worry, we have plenty of money and technology. Rebuilding an even larger Golden City won't be difficult."

"Yes, I understand, Captain Gel."

Uta nodded emphatically.

"Good. The task of appeasing and mobilizing the masses is now in your hands, Miss Uta, our Golden City's image ambassador."

"No problem! Please leave it to me!"

Uta confidently saluted, then accepted the order and left.

...

Ger then turned to look at the Straw Hat crew beside him and said with a smile.

"Well done, thank you so much this time, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates! ...Although you're not that strong, you still helped out in some way..."

"Hey! The second half of that sentence is completely unnecessary!"

Sanji couldn't help but complain.

"cut!"

Zoro crossed his arms and turned his head away defiantly, but he didn't refute it. Having witnessed Captain Gol's strength, he had already accepted that the other party had the right to say such things.

"Hahaha! You're welcome! Grilled meat guy, it's my duty to help Uta."

Luffy pressed his straw hat on his head and laughed happily.

"Hehehe, I'm saying, instead of saying thank you or anything like that... let's do something more practical..."

Nami shoved Luffy aside with her bottom, her bright eyes fixed on Gel, her index finger and thumb rubbing together incessantly as if giving a suggestive look.

"Haha, I get it, I get it."

Ger raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"I'll make the decision! Your previous gambling debts to Golden City are completely wiped clean!"

"Hahaha! Really?"

"Wow, that's great!"

"yeah!"

The easily satisfied Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper, upon hearing this, excitedly hugged each other in celebration.

"Damn it! How stingy!"

Nami, who hadn't gained any real benefit, clenched her fists and muttered a complaint under her breath.

Robin and Kaku could only smile helplessly.
