NOVEL NEXT Chapter 183: Funding
That is the pinnacle of the CP organization, where countless monsters and powerful people gather. Even in the system of the World Government, it can be said to be a high position of power.

Therefore, for this mission, he dispatched Rob Lucci, the strongest genius in CP9 in the past 800 years and the only woman in CP9, the stunning Kalifa.
With the two of them working together, this mission can be said to be a sure thing.
"Now I just need to wait."
"Yahahaha!"
In the office, Spandam laughed wantonly, not caring about the people around him.
But his laughter stopped abruptly the next moment.
Because an old man who looked three points like Spandam but was two points older directly pushed the door open.
"Dad?"
Spandam looked at the old man while frowning slightly: "What's the matter again?"
Spandine leaned on a cane and loosened his tie, sat down casually, and said lightly: "The operation on Crocodile's side failed."
"The Devil Fruit that was valued by a God in Mary Geoise eventually fell into the hands of White Knight Pirates."
"What!"
Spandam's expression suddenly tensed up; he looked panicked, pushed the door open, and looked around; after confirming that no one was there, he slammed the door shut.
He then turned back to look at Spandine, his tone quite helpless: "Dad, your secret cooperation with the Warlord of the Sea will inevitably be targeted once the superiors know about it."
"I can help you cover it up once or twice, but if it happens more than this, I can't hide it."
"In addition, why would the God in Mary Geoise take a fancy to a Devil Fruit? And why would he find us in private?"
"There are too many unreasonable things about this matter."
"You don't need to tell me this!"
Spandine said in a cold tone: "I am just conveying that person's order to you so that the person who ate the Bone-Bone fruit will disappear."
"If you can do it, this matter will be good for both you and me."
"Impossible!"
Spandam shook his head firmly.
If he went, he would die without a burial place.
Although he had many shortcomings, he knew that he would need to understand the matter clearly before he plunged into it.
Besides, according to the current situation, as long as Lucci's side was smooth, he would be promoted and make money.
Why take such a risk again.
"Lucci has successfully penetrated the White Knight Pirate. At this time, attacking their backbones will only expose them."
"Is that so…"
Spandine saw this but did not entangle more and just said lightly: "Then tell me when you think it over.
After that, he stood up, leaned on a cane, and slowly left.
Spandam looked at this scene for a long time without saying a word. Since he replaced Spandine's position, the relationship between them as father and son has become more distant.
What is he doing in secret?
Privately contacting pirates, even if they were pirates authorized by the World Government like the Warlord of the Sea, any carelessness could be fatal.
After some thought, he was getting more and more confused.
In the end, Spandam still had no clue in his mind, and he could only put his hope on Lucci and Kalifa.
"After I enter the CP0, I can help my father cover up more, and my power now is still too small."
When he thought of this, Spandam's heart couldn't help but get hot.
On Enies Lobby.
Several agents hurried, and their footsteps became one.
Soon, they pushed open the door of Spandam's office and put the information sent back by Lucci and Kalifa.
"Sir Spandam, this is the information we found on Silver Moon Harbor."
"Although there was a big fire there, our people hid the things very well and did not let it burn."
Spandam, who was originally drowsy, became alert on the spot.
Soon, he raised his hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth and could not wait to read the information on the table.
Several specially treated oil papers appeared in front of Spandam.
He took out a special purple light from his arms and shone it on the oil paper, and a line of lines of neat handwriting appeared.
"You go out first."
"Yes!"
Several agents turned and left.
Spandam then focused on the information in his hand. The first piece of news made his eyes light up: "Lucci and Kalifa have successfully infiltrated the White Knight Pirate and even got along with most of them?"
"Great!"
He was so excited that he almost stood up from his chair because the most difficult thing about undercover operations is to clear one's suspicion and blend into the other party's inner circle.
In this way, as long as the two do not make any mistakes in the future, every move of the White Knight Pirate will be in their sight.
Continuing down, Spandam's expression froze on the spot, from astonishment to confusion, and finally, a black question mark on his face.
"What the hell?"
"Lucci plans to improve his combat power through hard training and blend into the core circle of the White Knight Pirate. It seems that something is wrong, but it is reasonable overall."
"But…"
His mouth couldn't help but twitch, and it broke his defense on the spot: "Kalifa, which third-rate novel did you learn this from?!"
"Master the heart of White Knight Gawain and indirectly control the entire White Knight Pirate?"
"How many of these pirates will be swayed by their personal emotions?"
Spandam's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, but he was an office clerk, and his business ability was far inferior to Lucci and the others.
Therefore, even if he felt something was wrong, he could only bite the bullet and let them decide for themselves.
But the ominous premonition was getting stronger, so much so that his hand was shaking when he picked up the teacup.
Spandam took a sip of the warm tea, but when he saw the information clearly, he was shocked. "Why do I feel that she will waste it…"
"At the moment, it all came out…"
"How much funding do they want? Eighty million Belly!?"
"Kalifa, are you applying for funding or robbing a bank?"
"Oh."
"Robbing a bank is not that fast…"
Spandam's mouth couldn't help but twitch wildly, which lasted for dozens of seconds.
He just came back to his senses and read the information from beginning to end again, and his defense was broken: "It turns out that after several days, there has been no progress except for the successful infiltration into the White Knight Pirate, right?"
"If someone else comes, I will probably think that they have defected."
After a moment, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "If I don't bleed, I won't win."
Spandam's eyes fell on Kalifa's funding application again, and then he hesitated for a moment.
"Whether I can get a promotion and a raise depends on this mission!"
After that, he took out his pen and began to write furiously.
Spandam opened the drawer, took out a funding application form, and picked up the pen on the table.
The words between the lines talked about the potential of the White Knight Pirate and the possible harm it might cause in the future.
It was just short of writing the words "They will become the emperor of the sea in the future" to exaggerate the importance of this operation.
Finally, in the funding application column,
Spandam hesitated for a long time and filled in 40 million, then he paused at the last moment.
After doing all this, Spandam was ready to submit the report to his superiors, but he picked up the pen again and added another zero after the funding figure.
"Well"
"I'm doing this for Mary Geoise!"
"Did he refuse?"
In an office, Spandine held a Den Den Mushi in his hand, and Crocodile's low, hoarse laughter came from the receiver.
"Papapapapa…"
"So, will our deal continue?"
"Ah. Yes, it can."
Spandine nodded and said: "As long as Gin the Man-Demon is killed, the devil fruit will always be reborn somewhere, and then I will cover up your actions."
There was silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi; a few seconds later, a sigh came: "Happy cooperation!"
