Chapter 309: The Strongest Shield!

Although CP0 is the highest Intelligence Agency directly under the World Government and the World Nobles, but not every member is the type to dedicate their entire life to the World Government with unwavering diligence.

Stussy knew very well what kind of man, her colleague, Master Fox was.

He could be summed up in two words: Talkative nature, afraid of pain and death.

Taking a deep breath, Stussy forcibly suppressed her displeasure and said in a serious tone, "We need to take this scientist from the Roger Pirates away as soon as possible or there will be trouble! An uninvited guest has come to Pleasure Street—"

"Excuse me for interrupting, my lovely lady, but when you say 'uninvited guest,' are you referring to me?" A strange voice suddenly echoed in the private room.

Stussy's expression shifted slightly, a red light flashed in her eyes, as she instantly turned on her Observation Haki.

Through his mask, it was impossible to see the changes in Master Fox's expression, but subtle cues indicated that this CP0 member was also secretly ready for battle.

At that moment, a ripple appeared in the void.

Moon Isaac Jr, who had been lying on the red sofa, vanished along with the sofa as the ripple emerged.

"A space ability user?!" The heaviness in Stussy's eyes deepened.

She had been wondering why her Haki hadn't locked onto the position of the person who had just spoken, and now the reason was clear.

A space-based Devil Fruit ability!

While such an ability might not be the most powerful in the world, but in terms of stealth and escape potential, it certainly stood at the top among Devil Fruit powers!

Yet at the same time, a part of Stussy couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, it was just a space ability user and not the White Ghost—

Adrian slowly stepped out from Rumi's impenetrable fortress, smiling slightly at the two CP0 members standing before him.

'White Ghost?!' Stussy's pupil contracted violently.

"Well, this is quite the unexpected encounter!"

Just as the commotion caused by the Okama King had not completely subsided, Adrian had noticed the presence of the man in the black suit reporting to Stussy.

He also realized that Stussy, the so-called Queen of Pleasure Street who was actually an undercover CP0 member, had targeted the Moon Isaac Jr who had come to enjoy Pleasure Street!

Wanting to test the strength of CP0 members through Stussy, Adrian has been secretly paying attention to Moon Isaac Jr instead of interfering previous.

He chose to remain hidden, biding his time.

Queen of Pleasure Street, Stussy!

Unknown CP0 member, Master Fox!

These two fish should be enough to gauge the general strength of CP0, right?

At this moment, Stussy suddenly smiled and asked softly, "Dear guest, you have come to the Fantasy Image Hall. Is there anything you need?"

Adrian looked at Stussy in surprise. 'What could he say? As expected of the madam of Pleasure Street, even now she didn't forget to drum up business!'

"Queen of Pleasure Street, Stussy, and Mr. Fox," Adrian remarked with a calm smile as he glanced at the two.

"You're both members of CP0. There's no need to keep up the facade in front of me," he continued.

"Stussy, when you called me over just now, you didn't say I would face such a terrible enemy!" Mr Fox's eyes locked onto Adrian, his muscles tensed, and said in a seemingly relaxed, but his voice betrayed him, which was full of tension.

"Attack!" Stussy's shout was sharp and commanding as she lead in attacking.

Despite her delicate appearance, the Queen of Pleasure Street moved with the speed of lightning, raising her fair-skinned hand and extending her slender index finger.

The air trembled with a barely perceptible sound as an almost invisible air bullet shot from her fingertip at an incredible speed, aimed straight at Adrian.

As a CP0 member, it was no surprise that she mastered the Rokushiki techniques.

Adrian's keen eyes quickly identified the technique Stussy was using: the advanced form of the Finger Pistol, the Flying Finger Pistol.

In the original story, Stussy effortlessly killed the Loan Shark King Lu Feld with this very technique!

At the same time, Mr Fox, standing beside her, quietly activated his ability. His clothes ruffled as stiff black hairs emerged from his pristine white outfit, transforming him into a spiky fur-covered man in an instant.

In the next moment, these black hairs erupted from Mr Fox's body, shooting out at Adrian like a barrage of needles, accompanying Stussy's air bullets in a devastating assault.

'Just as I expected, a Devil Fruit user. But what kind of fruit is this? Controlling hair? Seems a bit weak…' Adrian's mind remained clear as his eyes flashed red, activating his Future Sight Haki.

'Regardless, any attack not imbued with Armament Haki is utterly useless against me!'

Adrian took a step forward, making no move to defend himself, directly facing the combined attack of Stussy and Mr Fox.

The invisible air bullets and the needle-like black hairs passed through Adrian as if he were a ghost, crashing into the walls and floor behind him, leaving a series of holes in their wake.

Amidst the sounds of impact and the flying debris, the area was shrouded in smoke. Stussy had already discreetly evacuated unrelated personnel upon learning about the appearance of Moon Isaac Jr, so the surrounding spectators were mostly CP members, eliminating concerns about collateral damage.

But was she even concerned about the regular people of the island? Of course, she was. This was her island. She was a single person who had ruled this land for a long time, and it was an important piece to gather all kinds of intelligence.

Adrian looked behind at the damage then looked back to opponent with a smirk.

Although the attack didn't harm him, Adrian gathered essential combat data from his panel.

'Stussy, level 89; Mr Fox, level 82… Both are over level 80. This caliber truly matches the name of CP0!'

Adrian's eyes narrowed as thoughts raced through his mind.

'Back when after Don Chinjao's spirit was crushed, he was around this level.'

'This means CP0 members, barring exceptions like Spandam who relied on connections, should all be above or around level 80. Equivalent to pirates with bounties ranging from 300 million to 600 million berries!'

'In the Beast Pirates twenty years later, this would make them comparable to The Flying Six!'

'Moreover, considering the leaders and commanders of CP0, there might even be individuals over level 100!'

'Only such strength indeed befits the title of the "Celestial Dragons' strongest shield"!'
