My partner in One Piece is Esdeath

Chapter 222 Spandam in Action

"I am the commander of CP9, Spandam, and the person who formulated the plan to seize Pluto's blueprints."

In a room in the Tower of Justice, Spandam was sitting on the sofa. He said to Esdeath, who was also sitting on the sofa.

"Welcome, Miss Esdeath."

Spandam has been on an emotional roller coaster these past few days.

Since the ancient weapons were of great importance, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, the senior officials asked the Navy Headquarters for assistance without informing him.

The top management's goal is safety and security. With the support of the Navy Headquarters, the design drawings for seizing Pluto must be foolproof.

But they were relieved, but Spangdam felt terrible.

Before the navy arrived, everything in the Seven Waters Capital was under his command. He is the number one person, and no one dares to say two things if he says one thing. But now the navy is coming to help...

You must know that CIPHER POL and the Navy are at the same level. Even if he is the commander of CP9, he does not have the right to command the navy at the same level as him.

What's more, the Navy will never let go of this good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. In order to fight for power and gain, if a Vice Admiral comes here, he might even lose the right to command.

When it came time to reward him based on his merits, at least 30% of the credit that originally went to him would be given to the navy, or even more!

Seeing that the duck in the pot is almost cooked, it is about to be eaten. But as a result, the cooked duck flapped its wings and flew away.

No one is in a hurry!

Anyway, Spandam was anxious to death. When he first received the news, he immediately transformed into the anxious king.

But rushing is not an option.

The navy is definitely coming. This is an order from above and he cannot change it.

But, who is the navy who comes to help? What is the military rank? This leaves room for maneuver.

So Spandam immediately mobilized all his connections, such as my father, a senior official in the world government, and tried to get the Navy Headquarters to send a navy below him to assist.

The result was indeed as he wished...right?

The good news is that the navy officer who came was lower than him in rank and was a captain in the navy.

Bad news, this naval captain is a direct subordinate of the admiral, named Baluster Esdeath, and her record...

According to the inside information Spandam has, she was the one who defeated the legendary pirate, the Golden Lion Shiki, in the East China Sea, and she was less than thirty years old, and she was simply a monster.

What? Isn't the Golden Lion in jail? No no no! That was just an illusion created by the world government. In fact, he had escaped from prison for more than 20 years.

Fortunately, Esdeath is the direct subordinate of General Kizaru, which is a blessing in misfortune.

General Kizaru knows everything. Since she can become Kizaru's direct subordinate, she naturally has something in common with Kizaru...

In this case, it would be much easier to handle.

Although Esdeath is directly subordinate to the general, she is a colonel; although he is very strong, she is a colonel.

As long as she was a colonel, Spangdam would move her as much as he could. Even if he couldn't command her, Spangdam would get the most credit in the end. And, it does not rule out that she despises these achievements.

After all, defeating the Golden Lion is enough to ensure that Esdeath will have no worries about promotion in the navy.

Moreover, as far as he knew, the admiral's direct subordinates would be trained as the admiral's successor if they were strong enough.

It would be great if he could have a good relationship with this future general. When the CP and Navy blossom, his career will be smooth sailing.

Thinking of this, Spandam couldn't help but feel ecstatic, thinking about how to have a good relationship with Esdeath.

"You know me?" Esdeath asked doubtfully.

"Of course I know you. After all, you are the one who defeated the Golden Lion. As the commander of CP9, if I don't even understand you, it would be a serious dereliction of duty."

Spandam laughed.

"Although she is very strong, I am now at a higher level than him, so I need to have enough foreplay so that I can take the initiative in the negotiation."

Spandam muttered silently, "The world government has been blocking her defeat of the Golden Lion. Even few people in the navy know about it. Now I directly reveal her secret. This will show that I am very powerful and in her heart." He will also think highly of me."

"Well, hello, since you know me, I won't talk nonsense. I received an order from General Kizaru to come to assist you."

Esdeath said with a smile, but looked at the man in the leather mask with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"This CP9 commander is so unexpectedly... weak."

Esdeath could not feel any threatening aura or momentum from Spandam. The only thing that made her feel a bit powerful was not him, but the sword on his waist.

"No way? CP9 is a secret intelligence agency directly under the World Government. The leader of such an important organization is actually a trash fish?" Esdeath thought to herself.

"It's so boring."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the higher-ups would send a strong man like you to assist me. I'm really surprised." Spandam said with a smile, "In this way, the plan to seize Pluto's blueprints will be foolproof."

"Did the superiors request the navy's assistance?"

Esdeath was stunned when she heard this.

"Yes, that's what the higher-ups meant." Spandam looked aggrieved, "I was responsible for all the original plans. Unexpectedly, the task was about to be completed, but the higher-ups were afraid that my actions would cause an accident. The navy is requested to provide assistance and support."

"I see."

Esdeath nodded thoughtfully.

Didn't the old man say that he convinced the people above him to let him carry out this task? Is this also called effort?

But if you think about it carefully, it fits his old man's character. If he hadn't said that, Esdeath really wouldn't have come. This kind of assistance task can be easily completed by any naval commander.

"From your tone, you have a lot of opinions on the above." Esdeath said calmly, "It's right when you think about it. If it were me, I would be very unhappy if someone took the credit away from me when the task was about to be completed."

Esdeath thought for a moment and said to Spandam:

"Well, this is the credit for the mission, I don't want any of it."

"Really?" Spandam looked surprised.

"Don't be happy so early." Esdeath said lightly, "There are conditions."

"No problem, as long as you don't want any credit. Don't say it's just one condition, I'll promise you ten or a hundred."

"Really, this is what you said."

Esdeath's lips curved into a smile.

"Then my first condition is: after obtaining the design drawings of Pluto, the drawings will be kept by me."

"This one……"

Spandam's face froze, "Pluto's design drawings are very important. I must keep this myself."

"You? Stop joking." Esdeath said disdainfully, "You can't even beat my subordinates."

Spandam was momentarily speechless.
