One Piece: The Long Road

A bit messy-.

.........

Kuzan and Simon sat by the window, some distance from the rest of the restaurant, so even if they didn't deliberately lower their voices, others couldn't hear the conversation.

Hearing Kuzan mentioning the news from the past few days, Simon's face slowly turned gloomy, but there was no relevant news in the newspaper before, and immediately, he looked at Kuzan with some doubts.

"Newspapers are just a way of disseminating news tailored to meet the needs of the public. For ordinary people, the news recorded by newspapers is easy to understand, simple and clear, and directly hits the key points. People unconsciously see only the greatest impact. news."

Kuzan opened the newspaper indifferently, his fingertips lightly tapped on the picture that took up the largest part of the page, "Yesterday, the Straw Hats and Charlotte Lingling got into a fight, you read the newspaper just now, and this is the only thing in your eyes. ?"

Simon said: "Isn't it worthy of attention, the news about the Four Emperors."

"A newspaper can record a lot of news, this news is just one of them, just like the villagers on the island, they only pay attention to whether there is any small island that has been bloodbathed in the newspaper, and the rest of the news is generally not based on demand. Will pay too much attention." Kuzan rubbed his palms back and forth on the newspaper, and stopped abruptly on a small piece of news that moved to the corner, "Will you pay attention to this small piece of news?"

Simon looked at the text that Kuzan pointed to, and saw only a few crosses on it, and the font was small. Compared with the news occupied by other sections, it seemed insignificant, and people generally didn't pay much attention to it.

With a slight frown, Simon shook his head. As Kuzan said, he usually only pays attention to the news that occupies the largest section of the newspaper when he reads the newspaper. He doesn't care about the news in the corner.

Kuzan smiled lightly, his voice suddenly lowered, "Don't forget, newspapers are not absolutely neutral, and the government's hand can easily reach in."

Simon's eyes changed and he lost his voice: "You mean?"

Kuzan nodded solemnly.

"It turns out that the way you get the news is through newspapers, which means that there are only a few people who know about this matter, right? Even the old man doesn't know about it? And the Warring States period didn't mention it." Simon touched his chin After thinking about it, the doubts of the previous period suddenly disappeared, and in a flash, he explained why Kuzan got the news in such a short time.

You know, in terms of intelligence, Simon could only rely on the golden phone bug to use the government's intelligence network before, but he never thought that the government and the navy would make an article in the newspaper, and after being wanted before, Simon was afraid that the phone bug was tracking. Setting, so he threw the phone bug into the mouth of a sea king. It can be said that in terms of intelligence and information, he can only rely on newspapers.

Kuzan held back his smile, the expression on his face became more solemn, and said solemnly: "Yes, I rely on this channel to obtain news."

"So that's the case. Originally, I was also very puzzled by where you got the news, who broke up with the navy. I didn't expect it to be through the newspaper."

Simon looked stunned, grabbed the newspaper and read it carefully, but even if he read the recharge news in the corner several times, he didn't find anything tricky. Immediately, he looked up at Kuzan and asked with a frown : "Why didn't I find it?"

Seeing Simon's dazed look, Kuzan finally couldn't help it, looked up and laughed.

Seeing Kuzan's appearance, Simon suddenly realized that he had been tricked, and couldn't help but look angry.

Kuzan patted the table happily and said with a smile: "The government is in a leading position in terms of telephone bugs. Even the revolutionary army cannot achieve the complete level of anti-eavesdropping of the government, so there is no need for newspapers to come. pass on information."

Simon took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, resisted the urge to throw a punch, and suppressed his anger: "Then how did you get the news?"

Kuzan, who was laughing a little uncomfortable, restrained at this time, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Apart from the navy, where else can I get specific news and intelligence?"

Simon's eyes were cold, and he quickly knew a place, and immediately said solemnly: "It turns out that you got these news from the underground world."

Kuzan nodded and said lightly: "I got all the news in the past two years from there, including you making such a big noise in the underground world, but thanks to you, the underground world is getting more and more It's hard to get in."

"I was there for two years, and I didn't meet you. You must know that I went to almost every trading place."

Simon's brows furrowed deeper, as if the existence he believed was completely subverted. Kuzan had been to the underground world, but Simon had not met him once in the past two years, although it was not ruled out that Kuzan deliberately hid, But it is impossible for a strong man to hide in front of another strong man.

"Every one?" Kuzan said with a wry smile: "Even if the intelligence system provided to you by the government is difficult to understand every corner of the world, although I sometimes think it is a very convenient system, it is not a panacea. Yes, the underground world is not such a simple place, whether it is true or false that surfaced, whether it is important or not, or not, and besides, I have not visited the underground world many times in the past two years."

"The topic is too far away, let's get down to business, what did you mean by your first words?" Simon said coldly, not wanting to entangle on this topic.

Facing Simon's suddenly cold tone, Kuzan couldn't help but smile bitterly, naturally knowing what caused this.

When he was in Punksahad, he only told one person about his future whereabouts. This person was Simon. At that time, he said that he wanted to find a secluded place to spend the rest of his life in the future, but he rode a bicycle and left with bruises all over his body. .

In a way, he deceived Simon.

Concentrating his mind, Kuzan returned to the topic and said lightly: "Three months ago, Qiwu Hailuo's whereabouts were unknown, and at the same time, the troubled children who were active in the new world were also lurking at almost the same time. These pieces of news are not the same, but someone with a heart can easily see a message, that is, Luo and Supernova may have secretly contacted ~www.readwn.com~ and reached an agreement. I don't know what this agreement is. "

Simon pursed his lips and said, "Luo captured a substance called 'SAD' some time ago."

"I know." Kuzan nodded, "'SAD' is the goods that Duflamingo and Kaido traded. Luo captured 'SAD' and his whereabouts are still unknown, and you also killed Caesar, making 'SAD' unable to Reproducing it and breaking up the trading relationship between Duflamingo and Kaido shows that 'SAD' is not just that simple for Kaido."

"A solid relationship with a long-term transaction, just because it cannot be manufactured and the only inventory is in the hands of others, to cut off this relationship, this shows that Kaido is very angry, why is angry, I think about it, only think of one reason. That. It was Luo who took SAD and threatened Kaido."

Listening to Kuzan's words, Simon's eyes couldn't help but become strange. As a participant in it, what he learned was not half as good as what Kuzan said at the moment.

As if unaware of Simon's gaze, Kuzan pointed to a page of the newspaper and continued: "For two years, the supernovas have been targeting Kaido. Three months ago, after Hawkins and Drake, who occupied Kaido's territory, disappeared, The island was recaptured by Kaido without any effort, but just yesterday, the news was reported in the newspapers, the island was recaptured by a supernova, and they, who had been lurking for three months, appeared again. What is going on in the three months, it must have something to do with Luo, and maybe Luo will show up in the next few days. This is one of the bad news. To be honest, I don't know if it is bad news. "

After listening to Kuzan's words, Simon lowered his head and was silent. For a long time, he looked up at Kuzan and said indifferently: "I really want to know what else you are hiding from me."
