In the misty haze, Kera finished wiping Mansherry's petite body and then wiped the sweat from her forehead.

More than half a year ago, Kerla received instructions from Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, to come and make contact with Yang Ming.

However, Yang Ming had previously been elusive, traveling to the East China Sea and then to the Sky Island. It wasn't until he settled in Water Seven that Koala finally found an opportunity to sneak in during the Carrera Company's mass recruitment drive, and then... become a bathhouse auntie who scrubbed Mansherry's back.

Whenever she thought about how she, a beautiful young woman, had been reduced to working as a bathhouse auntie, Kela felt a wave of shame.

Mansherry put on a loose bathrobe, rubbed her wet hair with a towel, and said softly:

"Sister Kela, thank you so much for your help today."

"No, no trouble."

Kerla snapped out of her daze and quickly collected Mansherry's bathwater, storing it in specially made glass containers.

"Speaking of which," Kella said, looking at the glass container of bathwater in her hand with a strange expression, "do you know why the Carrera Corporation specifically collects your bathwater?"

Perhaps because they had gotten to know each other better recently, and given Mansherry's innocent and romantic nature, she didn't think much of it and bluntly told the truth:

"Because I'm a Paramecia-type Heal-Heal Fruit user, even though the water after a bath greatly dilutes my healing ability, it still has a considerable healing effect on ordinary people."

Kerla's eyes flickered, and suddenly he realized something.

Immediately, she realized Mansherry's strategic value; she was a mobile ginseng fruit! If the outside world knew of Mansherry's existence, it would likely be detrimental to her. She immediately whispered her advice:

"You must not tell this kind of thing to others in the future, otherwise you will bring disaster upon yourself."

Mansherry nodded as if she understood, but it was unclear whether she had actually taken it all in.

After finishing her daily work, Kerla carried the glassware to the freezer for storage.

Along the way, employees of all kinds came and went.

Thanks to Kerla's affability and deliberate approach, Kerla has become familiar with many employees and often greets them when she encounters them.

Only when she saw the former CP9 agents in their suits did Kella immediately lower her head guiltily, walking cautiously and barely daring to breathe, for fear of attracting the attention of these agents.

Jabra is a Zoan-type Dog-Dog Fruit user in Wolf form. He is quite sensitive to the gazes of others and seems to sense something as he turns his gaze toward Koala.

Beside him, the agent known as "Lion" quipped, somewhat dismissively:

"Gabra, that girl is just a bathhouse attendant, is there a problem?"

Gabra frowned slightly, then smiled gently.

"I guess I was overthinking it."

"Besides, even if there are any problems, isn't the captain here to keep things in order?"

Gabra was quite open-minded. After firing his former superior, CP9 commander Spandam, he switched to Yang Ming's command without any psychological burden.

However, it must be said that compared to working under the incompetent CP9 commander, working under Yang Ming is much more enjoyable. Not only are the working hours flexible, but the salary has also increased several times over. Moreover, he doesn't give unqualified people advice, assign them random tasks, or offer outlandish suggestions.

Most importantly, this new boss is really willing to take on any challenge!

With a heart full of trepidation, Kerla finally managed to get away from Gabra's seemingly tangible gaze, leaned against the corner wall, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"That man's gaze was really scary!"

"I almost thought my identity was about to be exposed!"

After catching her breath, Kera pondered what excuse she could use to contact Yang Ming and complete the task assigned to her by the leader, Dragon.

Recently, the revolutionary army's cause has been developing rapidly in various countries, especially in the Kingdom of West Kear on Curegana Island in the Grand Line, where it has gained the support of the local people. Now, it is plotting to overthrow the rule of the local nobles, making it the first place where the revolutionary army will overthrow noble rule by force.

If successful, it will surely ignite the fighting spirit of the working masses around the world, who will then join in the magnificent revolutionary cause.

Whenever she thinks about this, Kella feels like she's about to burst into flames.

Unbeknownst to her, Kella passed by a room and suddenly heard the familiar voice of her secretary, Kalifa, coming from inside.

"Captain, is my milk delicious?"

"Hmm...huh?"

Kella froze on the spot as if she had been petrified.

During her time infiltrating Carrera, Kella learned a lot of gossip from other employees. As the personal secretary of the major shareholder and behind-the-scenes boss, Kalifa, with her outstanding looks and slender figure, became the goddess of many male employees' dreams, and there was the most gossip about Kalifa in secret.

It is said that personal secretaries work during the day and at night, and Kalifa and Yang Ming have some kind of unspeakable secret.

Originally, Kerla did not believe such rumors.

After all, Yang Ming is only a nine-year-old child!

But now...

"No, I have to see it!"

"I'm not doing this to satisfy my personal voyeuristic desires, but to complete the task assigned by the leader. If Yang Ming is not as rumored, whether he can become our ally is a big question mark!"

Once she made up her mind, Kerla looked around and found that the place was secluded and no employees came here specifically, so no one would notice her little actions.

So she quietly approached the door and found it unlocked, so she secretly opened it a crack.

What came into view was a face, a smiling face.

"what!!!"

The unexpected scene startled Kella, who instinctively let out a high-pitched scream, causing the glassware in her hand to fall to the ground, shards and liquid scattering everywhere.

Before Kella could react, a hand suddenly reached out from the crack in the door, its five fingers forming a claw as it gripped Kella's wrist, and with an unyielding force, pulled her into the room.

"It's over! We're doomed!"

"I've discovered Yang Ming's secret. Am I going to be silenced?!"

Upon entering the house, Kella immediately closed her beautiful eyes, not daring to open them to look at anything outside.

This cannot be blamed on her lack of professional skills.

After all, it has only been three years since she was sent back to her hometown by the fishman hero Fisher Tiger.

During these three years, she joined the revolutionary army by chance and gained the appreciation of the leader, Long. It was not easy for her to learn various knowledge and practice physical skills, and she did not have much practical combat experience. If it were not for the special mission, the leader Long would not have sent her to Yang Ming's side.

Seeing the girl trembling in front of him, her eyelashes fluttering wildly, Yang Ming felt both annoyed and amused.

In fact, Yang Ming knew every employee who joined Carrera Company like the back of his hand. When he learned of Kella's name, he initially thought it was just a coincidence. However, after observing her in secret, he discovered that she was indeed a future cadre of the Revolutionary Army and also guessed her background.

"What, are you afraid I'll eat you up?"

Yang Ming sat on the soft sofa, smiling as he looked at the girl:

"Could it be that this is the level of the revolutionary army cadres trained by Long?"

The girl, naturally, couldn't accept being provoked. She immediately opened her eyes and glared angrily at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming crossed his legs, placed his hands on his knees, and said calmly:

Why do the flames of war ignite? Why do autumn leaves fall? Our nature cannot be taken away; we too feel this in our hearts. For whom do we clench our fists in anger? To protect our nation and punish the wicked, to follow the natural way and dispel inner demons. War never ends, and so does confusion; what is the reason for our war?

"We, the navy, fight for justice, but what are you, the revolutionary army, fighting for?"

Chapter 146 Destroying the Beasts Pirates, Starting with Jack the Drought

Carrera Corporation, the City of Seven Waters.

Inside a private room decorated with understated luxury, a man and a woman faced each other, the atmosphere slightly tense.

Perhaps it was her past experience as a slave to the Celestial Dragons that caused Koala to subconsciously avoid eye contact when facing powerful strangers, making her appear somewhat insecure.

However, considering how important this mission was, and that it was her first mission outside the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Koala was flustered, but she managed to calm her turbulent emotions in the shortest amount of time.

Using the tidiness of her messy bangs to conceal her earlier panic, Kella slightly adjusted the goggles on her red hat, took a deep breath almost imperceptibly, and then slowly exhaled a wisp of stale air before solemnly addressing Yang Ming:

"We, the revolutionary army, fight for freedom!"

Yang Ming had been watching Kela's behavior since she entered the room. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he secretly nodded in approval at how quickly she had adjusted herself.

Don't underestimate this seemingly trivial matter, which anyone could do; in reality, it's not that simple.

Just like during the college entrance examination, many students always feel very nervous. Some people just can't adjust their state. They don't sleep well all night before the exam, and the next day they can only drag their tired bodies to deal with the exam, and naturally they will underperform.

Since his debut, Yang Ming has been competing with various powerful opponents, and a powerful aura has gradually formed around him.

The pressure facing Yang Ming is a hundred or a thousand times greater than the pressure facing the college entrance examination!

Yang Ming looked the girl up and down. She was wearing a white shirt underneath a work uniform, and her whole body was covered up tightly, with little skin exposed to the air, such as her arms and legs. It seemed that out of a self-protective instinct, she was much more conservative than women of any other age when choosing clothes.

Perhaps this is the action that most closely reflects the inner thoughts of anyone whose heart has been wounded.

While sizing up the other party, Yang Ming also paid attention to the system prompts.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from World of Warcraft. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

The prizes in the lottery wheel are divided into two types: racial talents and skills.

Racial Traits: Escape Expert, Heroic Spirit, Resilience...

Skills: Charge, Rallying Shout, Execution...

[Fear]: Makes your enemies run away in fear, but the effect weakens each time it is used on the same enemy. It can amplify the effect of Silent Fear.

Realizing that Yang Ming already knew her true identity, Kella was quite bold and sat down opposite Yang Ming as if they were old friends, quickly scanning her surroundings with her eyes.

This is a luxurious private room, fully equipped with all the amenities. There are both a lobby and guest rooms. The hanging gold lamps emit a soft light. Kalifa stands behind Yang Ming, her slender fingers gently resting on his shoulders, kneading them with light and gentle pressure. It is obvious at a glance that her technique is skilled and experienced. She is indeed worthy of being his personal secretary.

Seeing that Kalifa was dressed neatly and that the two of them were not doing something shady indoors as she had imagined, Kella realized that Yang Ming must have known she was outside the door all along and was deliberately teasing her like this, which made her furious.

"I……"

Just as Kerla was about to speak, Yang Ming decisively interrupted her.

"Let me guess, your leader sent you, a girl who is not yet an adult, all the way to Water Seven. It couldn't have been just to have tea and a meal with me. There must be some special mission. I am now a rising star of the younger generation of the Navy, and since my debut, I have upheld the justice of defending honor with blood. You must want to talk to me about cooperation, right?"

In any negotiation, the person who takes the initiative is the one who can maximize their gains.

At times like these, it's impolite to be overly concerned about interrupting others, and it will only make you feel constrained.

Based on his control over the plot and his understanding of the dragon's personality, Yang Ming was certain that his guess was 80% likely to be true.

Kella was still too inexperienced and couldn't hide his thoughts at all. When Yang Ming pointed out the core issue, his expression suddenly changed.

Recalling how Yang Ming had just seen through her identity as a member of the Revolutionary Army, Koala even suspected that there might be female spies within the Revolutionary Army secretly exposing their whereabouts to the Navy!
