Chapter 269
Chapter 269
Rorschach glanced around at the many women watching the scene with interest — especially the World Government spies like Peacock and the others.
He suddenly wondered what kind of reaction the World Government would have if this information reached their ears. Being the kind of person who enjoyed watching chaos unfold, he felt it would definitely be interesting. So he spoke up:
"No need. All the women here will be considered my people from now on. There’s no need to hide anything."
Rorschach waved his hand, rejecting her suggestion.
"...Alright."
Belo Betty had no choice. Seeing how confident Rorschach was, she gave up on trying to persuade him further.
This was his territory. She didn’t dare go against his wishes too much and could only follow whatever he said.
"The Revolutionary Army has some information and plans regarding the World Government’s secrets. It also concerns certain things you mentioned during the Summit War."
Seeing Rorschach’s gaze urging her to continue, she stopped holding back and spoke directly.
"Oh? Interesting. Go on."
Rorschach raised an eyebrow. The explosive things he had said during the Summit War had apparently caught the Revolutionary Army’s attention.
It was probably about Imu.
He hadn’t expected the Revolutionary Army to also have information about Imu.
"According to what our leader knows, there is actually a true ruler above the Five Elders. This is something he accidentally learned back when he was still in the Marines."
Belo Betty spoke in a serious tone.
This was supposed to be extremely confidential information, yet she was revealing it in front of so many people. Belo Betty still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
This was a secret that very few people were supposed to know.
However, in order to gain Rorschach’s trust, she still said it.
She believed Rorschach would have ways to deal with the people who now knew this information.
Seeing that Rorschach’s expression remained calm and he simply watched her without speaking, Belo Betty continued:
"That person is the one you mentioned during the Summit War — Imu."
As soon as she said this, Peacock and the others immediately frowned.
They, as Marines, had never heard of anyone existing above the Five Elders.
For a moment, she wondered if the Revolutionary Army and Rorschach were deliberately spreading this kind of information to mislead the Marines and create conflict between the Marines and the World Government.
Perhaps their identities had already been exposed, and this information was something Rorschach wanted them to hear so it would be passed back to the Marines.
Otherwise, why would such confidential information be revealed in front of so many people?
What she didn’t know was that while their identities had indeed been exposed, the information itself was true.
Both the pirates and the Revolutionary Army knew of Imu’s existence. Only the Marines remained in the dark. It was truly thought-provoking.
"As for information about Imu... how much do you know, Mr. Rorschach?"
After hesitating for a moment, Belo Betty asked.
"I probably don’t know as much as you do."
Rorschach shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.
In reality, he knew quite a bit, along with some theories — at least more than the Revolutionary Army. But he had no intention of revealing everything right now.
"The Revolutionary Army came here with sincerity. So, Mr. Rorschach, would you like to cooperate with us? We can share more information with you in the future."
Belo Betty looked at Rorschach with hopeful eyes.
"Oh? So you need my strength, is that it? Then let’s talk about compensation. What kind of price are you willing to pay to convince me?"
Hearing this, Rorschach nodded and spoke in a relaxed tone.
None of that information mattered much to him. What mattered was the reward.
They thought they could get him to act just by offering some information? How naïve. He wasn’t the type to act without seeing the rabbit first.
"Does that mean you agree to cooperate with the Revolutionary Army? That’s wonderful!"
"We can provide you with all kinds of weapons, firearms, ammunition, and no matter which sea you’re in, as long as you notify us, we can send people to support you."
Hearing Rorschach’s words, Clara happily shouted, blurting out all the cards the Revolutionary Army could offer in one breath.
She had already mentioned this to Reiju earlier anyway. Compared to continuing to hide things and damaging the relationship, it was better to lay everything out on the table.
Belo Betty didn’t blame Clara for speaking so openly. She thought the same way.
"Lord Rorschach! Are you really going to cooperate with these rats from the gutter? We’re pirates!"
At that moment, Peacock suddenly spoke up to object.
If she didn’t speak now, these two troublesome existences — both for the Marines and the World Government — might actually form an alliance.
She still had room to maneuver, so she had to do everything she could to obstruct their relationship.
Hearing this, Belo Betty frowned slightly. She was starting to suspect Peacock and the others’ identities. Why were they so hostile toward the Revolutionary Army?
Rorschach slowly turned his head and looked at Peacock.
She felt like she was being stared at by a beast, but she still maintained her role as a pirate. She straightened her chest and struck a seductive pose, trying to show off her best side to attract Rorschach.
"You’re... the captain of the ’Training Pirates’ in the New World, right? I heard your entire crew is made up of women."
Rorschach smiled, half-closing his eyes as he spoke slowly. Right now, he looked just like certain villainous monsters when they narrowed their eyes.
"Yes. I really like strong men like you, Lord Rorschach. I’ve always hoped to be conquered by a man like you."
Peacock nodded and took the opportunity to walk up to Rorschach. She hooked her arms around his neck and wrapped one leg around his waist, whispering seductively in his ear:
"If you can’t conquer me... then it’ll be my turn to train you~"
After speaking, she even lightly licked his earlobe. Her charm was at maximum.
What a dangerous vixen... Rorschach almost wanted to take her right there on the spot.
If she was a Marine, who would believe it?
This kind of aura... even most regular pirates didn’t have it. As expected of the Marines, huh?
Did the Marines produce nothing but actors?
"Come here and you should know your place. Right now, you’re one of the candidates to become my woman. Don’t casually interfere in a man’s business. That’s not what a good woman should do. Understand?"
Rorschach slapped her butt and even gave it a squeeze, making Peacock let out a soft moan.
"Yes, Lord Rorschach. I understand."
Peacock shyly threw him a flirtatious glance and spoke softly like a docile woman.
Internally, however, she was cursing. Not only had Rorschach taken advantage of her, but he had also scolded her. Damn it!
But her plan had changed. Since she couldn’t stop them now, she would stop them later. From Rorschach’s reaction, he seemed quite satisfied with her.
Once they became more familiar, she could whisper in his ear and drive a wedge between him and the Revolutionary Army. That would give her even more room to operate.
She decided to lie low for now and wait for the right moment.
More importantly, she had to pass on the information about Rorschach and the others as soon as possible. On just the first day, she had already made a major discovery. She could already see the successful completion of her undercover mission.
