Subsequently, Queen went to the CP0's temporary residence to pass on the message, and only then did he go to handle the factory's wastewater as the Lord Emperor had instructed him.
A small amount was directly canned and buried underground; this portion was simply impossible to purify.
As for the water that had already flowed out of the factory and merged with the natural streams, they could only find a way to purify it.
Meanwhile, upon receiving Queen's message, the face of the CP0 agent beneath his mask turned livid.
*'What a bastard.'*
To think the other party actually dared to raise the price fourfold.
He even demanded members of CP0.
Although the two people he requested did not belong to his squad.
It still filled him with rage.
Because if they agreed to that, wouldn't it mean CP0 had absolutely no dignity left?
They would be nothing more than commodities for trade.
Even though to the World Government, they were merely obedient dogs.
To everyone else, they were supreme rulers.
Suppressing the fury in his heart, he dialed the Transponder Snail of the Five Elders' Warrior God of Finance.
The Warrior God of Finance, a bald man wearing glasses and a white martial arts uniform, answered the call.
"How did the negotiations go?"
The CP0 agent immediately reported the situation to the Warrior God of Finance.
Upon hearing this, the Warrior God of Finance's face turned livid as he roared.
"What an exorbitant demand! To even ask for CP0 personnel, how detestable!"
It was the first time he had felt so stifled and humiliated.
*'Just what does the other party want with CP0 members?'*
*'Could he be trying to pry into the secrets of the Celestial Dragons or the World Government?'*
At that moment, he wanted to assemble the Marines and annihilate the newly established Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets.
But after some thought, he had to let it go. The Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets was incredibly powerful.
Even if they sent the Marines, it would be useless and only result in meaningless casualties, unless the five of them took action personally.
But that was impossible; they had to remain stationed in Mary Geoise.
He was also filled with confusion.
CP0 had already reported the events that transpired in Wano Country to them.
The Five Elders had been shocked. When did such a powerful individual appear on the seas?
They had absolutely no clue. This feeling of things slipping out of their control made him extremely displeased.
*'Perhaps it is time to send someone to his side to gather intelligence.'*
*'Isn't he conveniently asking for CP0 members this time?'*
*'This is the perfect opportunity.'*
*'Having CP0 members go undercover by his side and eventually betray him is a truly excellent choice.'*
"Agree to his terms. I will send Kalifa and Stussy to him."
With that, he hung up the phone.
He then dialed the Transponder Snail of Kalifa, who was currently in Mary Geoise.
In Mary Geoise, a woman with long blonde hair, wearing a white business suit and white fishnet stockings, answered the call.
"Warrior God of Finance, may I ask why you are looking for me?"
The Warrior God of Finance spoke indifferently.
"The Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets has requested you and Stussy. This is the perfect chance for you two to go undercover."
"Investigate all of his intelligence thoroughly, and then report back to me."
Kalifa's face darkened upon hearing this.
This mission was going to be quite arduous for her, and she might even have to sacrifice her body.
She had already heard the news about that man.
Not only was he entering a political marriage with Rebecca of the Dressrosa Kingdom, but also with Princess Shirahoshi of Fish-Man Island.
And even Princess Vivi of the Alabasta Kingdom.
All of this news had been leaked by Morgans.
When a man desired women to this extent, there was no need to say more.
*'Wouldn't I be a sheep walking right into the lion's den? I'll have to use my body, and it won't be just a simple sacrifice.'*
*'I'll probably be completely devoured, leaving nothing behind.'*
This was a completely foreseeable outcome.
The pressure was immense, but she had no way to refuse.
As a member of CP0, she knew the consequences of refusal: she would be purged.
Having not received a response from Kalifa for a while, the Warrior God of Finance asked in displeasure.
"Are you listening, Kalifa?"
Kalifa finally snapped back to reality and replied helplessly.
"Understood, Warrior God of Finance."
Only then did the Warrior God of Finance speak with satisfaction.
"After I notify Stussy, you will board a ship with her and head to Wano Country."
He then hung up the phone and immediately dialed Stussy's Transponder Snail, informing her of the situation.
Stussy, a woman with short blonde hair and exquisite features, stood inside a building, draped in a white coat.
She hadn't expected the Warrior God of Finance to assign her such a mission.
*'What a troublesome, filthy man.'*
*'However, this is also an opportunity.'*
*'To become my man, he naturally must be incredibly powerful and serve as my asset.'*
*'I'll pack my things and set off with Kalifa to meet this Emperor of the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets.'*
*'Just what kind of person is he to actually make Kaido submit?'*
Not long after.
The Big Mom Pirates also arrived at Wano Country.
Big Mom saw the unexpected state of the waters surrounding Wano Country.
*'How truly bizarre.'*
*'To think there is actually such a peaceful stretch of sea in the New World?'*
It was well known that Kaido had chosen this place because its waters were easy to defend and hard to attack, with extremely treacherous conditions.
They naturally passed through the waterfall smoothly and landed in Wano Country.
After disembarking in Wano Country.
She and Perospero headed inland, leaving the rest of the crew behind to look after the pirate ship.
She was going to see this Emperor of the Sun Never Sets and find out exactly what kind of strength he possessed to make Kaido submit.
Even she hadn't been able to make Kaido follow her, so she felt extremely unconvinced and indignant in her heart.
Meanwhile, Queen the Plague naturally received a Transponder Snail report from his subordinates.
His face instantly darkened. *'That hag Big Mom actually came to Wano Country too.'*
*'Just what is she trying to do?'*
Back when the Beast Pirates existed, they were in an antagonistic relationship with the Big Mom Pirates.
Even though Lord Kaido had a history with Big Mom.
His brows relaxed. *'However, it seems Big Mom's arrival won't be a major problem.'*
*'Although Lord Kaido isn't on the island, the Emperor is.'*
*'Even Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, would be completely powerless to resist that man.'*
*'The Lord Emperor won't pay any attention to Big Mom. I think I've figured out his preferences by now.'*
*'Big Mom is a giant-sized fatty; how could the Lord Emperor possibly be interested in her?'*
*'Still, I can't afford to slack off.'*
After all, in his eyes, Big Mom was still incredibly terrifying.
Thus, he went to meet Big Mom personally.
"Big Mom of the Four Emperors, for what purpose have you come to our Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets?"
Big Mom's eyes widened.
*'The Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets... That bastard Kaido really did submit.'*
Displeasure filled her heart.
"Tell that bastard Kaido to come out here! I want to ask him exactly what he means by submitting to someone else!"
"Lord Kaido is not currently in the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets,"
Queen explained.
"He has gone to run an errand for the Lord Emperor. I'm afraid you will have to wait a while if you wish to see him."
