Chương 307: Chapter 307: Sudden Change
Even the seasoned Queen of Pleasure Street, Stussy, was disgusted and nauseated by the sight of gender blended Bloodhand Roy. Her clear blue eyes flashed with intense disgust.
His transformation through Ivanov's hormone-based Devil Fruit ability was an aberration that defied normal human aesthetics. It wasn't just a violation; it was an attack on beauty!
Even the battle-hardened Stussy could not accept such a visually jarring oddity.
With a wave of her hand, Stussy signaled her subordinates to throw Ivankov and his newly created okama, Roy, out of Pleasure Street.
Adrian, caught in the midst of the "gender-bending" spectacle, had no intention of intervening in the conflict between the Okama King and Queen of Pleasure Street.
His purpose for visiting tonight was simple: to indulge in the local culture and revelry. This unexpected encounter with Ivankov's quirky show was not part of Adrian's plan at all.
Not only did he keep a respectful distance from okamas, specially from the Okama King himself!
Instead of relaxing and enjoying himself as Moon Isaac suggested, Adrian felt somewhat depressed and listless due to the Okama King's eccentricities.
"Better find a pretty lady to soothe my wounded spirit later…" Adrian thought as he retreated to the edge of the crowd.
Just then, Stushi—still reeling from the Okama King's antics—scanned her surroundings, seeking something beautiful to cleanse her mind. And there, amidst the crowd, she glimpsed a charismatic figure who stood out like a beacon.
His charm exceeded a hundred points—no exaggeration!
"White Ghost..." Stussy, already upset, looked at Adrian in disbelief. Her heart skipped a beat, pounding like a rabbit in her chest.
The elusive White Ghost suddenly appearing in Pleasure Street? Impossible!
Usually, he seemed like an ordinary pirate hunter, harmless to both humans and animals. In reality, he was a formidable force who only involved himself in significant matters.
Beating up Celestial Dragons, fighting Marine Admirals and Vice Admirals, dueling Charlotte Linlin, thwarting the World Government's Buster Call…
For the White Ghost to suddenly appear in Pleasure Street, could he be planning to turn the place upside down?
The notion that the White Ghost was here simply for pleasure crossed Stussy's mind only fleetingly.
Don't be ridiculous. With his strength, he's among the top-tier elites of the sea. How many of them are interested in women?
Well, except for Charlotte Linlin, who loves getting married! But that's to expand her family influence and power.
Stussy felt a wave of panic. She knew very well that she couldn't withstand the White Ghost's power. If he suddenly went berserk and decided to destroy Pleasure Street, who could stop him?
Although one of her CP0 colleagues happened to be on vacation in Pleasure Street, what could that timid old furball do?
Stussy was filled with anxiety, questioning if there was anyone she could lean to.
Adrian, with his incredibly sharp senses, noticed someone silently observing him. He looked up and met Stussy's slightly distracted and lost gaze.
"Isn't this a beautiful little sister delivering herself to my doorstep?"
Adrian smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth, which seemed extremely cold to Stussy.
…
On Pleasure Street, order was gradually being restored after the Okama King had been driven away.
Stussy tried her best to suppress her anxiety and forced a smile to comfort the guests who had been disturbed by the Okama King. As the Queen of Pleasure Street, it was essential to maintain social connections with the underworld and other gray and white forces.
However, keen observers could tell that the usually meticulous Queen of the Underworld was unusually agitated today.
After finally calming the last group of guests, Stussy was about to leave quickly, ready to deal with the sudden attack from the White Ghost that could happen at any time. Suddenly, a muscular man in a black suit and sunglasses hurried over from the crowd.
He lowered his voice and said, "Queen, I have something important to report!"
Stussy frowned. What could be more urgent than the White Ghost?
Sensing her displeasure, the man quickly explained, "We've found a member of the Roger Pirates!"
Stussy's pupils slightly contracted. She took a deep breath and completely suppressed her restlessness, returning to her flawless and perfect image of the Queen of Pleasure Street.
Since Roger's execution in Loguetown, East Blue, members of the disbanded Roger Pirates, and even those who had known the Pirate King, were being hunted by the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.
As an external operative of CP0, one of Stussy's routine tasks included hunting down remnants of the Roger Pirates.
"Who did you find?"
"Former ship scientist of the Roger Pirates—Moon Isaac Jr.!"
The corners of Stussy's mouth slightly raised, revealing a charming smile, and an aura of composure and calmness emanated from her.
"It looks like we've caught a big fish."
To the World Government, the members of the Roger Pirates were not of equal importance; their significance varied greatly. The government had always feared that Roger might have discovered something at the final island, 'Raftel', that could threaten their rule.
However, previous efforts to hunt down Roger Pirates had yielded little success; not a single key member had been captured.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku had once led forces to nearly capture Dark King Silvers Rayleigh, but he managed to escape by swimming deep into the ocean.
As a former scientist of the Roger Pirates, Moon Isaac Jr surely knew secrets that ordinary crew members did not, likely including what Roger discovered at Raftel. Capturing Isaac would be a significant achievement.
Stussy raised her hand and gave her orders methodically.
"Have the girls stall the scientist."
"Mobilize enough personnel to surround his location and don't let even a fly escape."
"Lastly, send our furry friend to pay him a visit! I'll follow shortly."
