"Morgans, you've got a lot of nerve!"
Before Morgans could reply, the Den Den Mushi was already in Cyrus's hand.
He looked at the bird's head that the Den Den Mushi had transformed into and spoke in a calm tone.
"Is this Mr. Cyrus? I've always had a lot of nerve. I only want to report big news that will shake the world."
Morgans didn't seem to mind Cyrus's words, and a hint of laughter could be heard in his reply.
'This guy!'
Hearing the laughter in Morgans' voice, Cyrus curled his lip slightly.
After eating his Devil Fruit, Morgans had always appeared in his bird form, and no one knew what this guy actually looked like.
Moreover, by virtue of his identity as the president of the World Economic Journal, the intelligence in his hands, and his control over information channels, this guy was also one of the emperors of the underworld.
However, among those underworld emperors, besides Doflamingo, the others were not known for their strength.
"Forget about my interview, but I might have some news for you later."
The moment the two reporters from the newspaper appeared before him, Cyrus had thought of using the newspaper's channels.
If there was any channel that could spread news across the entire sea in a short time, then going through the newspaper was the easiest way.
"I'm only interested in big news." Morgans did not agree directly.
"If it's big news, not only can I report it for free, I can also pay you a large sum of money."
"Is that so? Then in the Sabaody Archipelago, you can contact Crocodile."
After hearing Morgans' words, Cyrus nodded slightly.
It was indeed in line with this bird's character.
"The Sand Crocodile, Crocodile? You not only have connections with Hawkeye Mihawk, but you're also involved with this Shichibukai?"
There was surprise in Morgans' tone.
"Shouldn't you already know?"
"Oh, that's right. I do know."
"Then it's a deal." After Cyrus finished speaking, he hung up the Den Den Mushi without waiting for Morgans to speak and then tossed it to the male reporter.
"You heard him. Don't bother me." Cyrus waved his hand.
The two of them naturally did not dare to stay.
They were not their president, who would risk danger for the sake of news.
"Are you planning to use the World Economic Journal to release the news about the Hunter Guild?" Robin asked, having guessed Cyrus's intention after the two left.
"Don't you think this is a good way? The channels this albatross controls are very powerful, but this guy likes to exaggerate some news to attract attention."
"If you put it that way, then this Morgans might add some false information to the Hunter Guild. If he wants to attract attention, this news might attract a lot of unnecessary attention."
Robin understood Cyrus's future hopes for the Hunter Guild.
But when it was first established, it would definitely need time to develop.
"If we're going to do it, some things will have to be faced sooner or later."
Cyrus naturally knew what Robin meant.
For the Hunter Guild to reach the state he envisioned, it would definitely attract all sorts of trouble.
But if he was afraid of this trouble, he wouldn't need to do these things.
After all, with his strength, even now, he could walk sideways across the seas.
Since he planned to do it, he had to face these troubles head-on.
"There might be trouble from the Marine, or the World Government." Robin reminded him again.
"Not might, definitely." Cyrus said, turning his head to look at Robin.
"Don't worry. If we can't handle it, we'll just go back to the East Blue and live in seclusion."
As soon as Cyrus said this, Robin rolled her eyes.
What time was it for him to still be teasing her?
"The City of Water Seven has CP agents from the World Government!"
Seeing Robin's speechless expression, Cyrus spoke up.
As soon as he said this, Robin's expression froze.
"Robin!"
Seeing her expression, Cyrus smiled and called out her name.
Robin looked straight into Cyrus's eyes.
"We are companions now. You must always remember that I have your back and I can do many things."
"Of course, my captain!~" Robin was stunned for a moment, then spoke with a smile.
"Just a captain?"
"Well then, Captain Cyrus, what else do you want to do?"
After Robin spoke, under Cyrus's gaze, she took off her top, then, wearing the light summer clothes common for women at sea, she walked towards the bathroom.
Looking at Robin's back, Cyrus shook his head slightly and sat down.
In the future, he and the World Government would definitely have a conflict.
Cyrus had actually been prepared for this for a long time.
In the early days of the Hunter Guild, the World Government and the Marine might pay attention, but they wouldn't try to stop it.
But according to his thoughts, as the Hunter Guild developed, when it grew to a certain extent, the Marine and the World Government would definitely intervene.
But since he wanted to do something, trouble was inevitable.
He would just treat these troubles as some of his trials in this world.
'I'm already cheating, why should I care about this?'
'Wouldn't my cheat be for nothing then?'
Listening to the sound of water flowing in the bathroom, Cyrus used his Observation Haki while pondering his own affairs.
...
City of Water Seven, Tom's Workers.
"According to the agreement I made with the Marine and the World Government, once the Sea Train is built, the crime of building a ship for the Pirate King will be pardoned!"
The Fish-man Tom said in a deep voice to the three CP agents before him.
"Of course I know that, and I don't intend to break the agreement. However, your student, Cutty Flam, drove a ship and attacked a ship from Enies Lobby. This is a serious crime."
Spandam looked at the furious Fish-man before him, a victorious look on his face.
"That's impossible!"
Tom was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head.
Although Cutty Flam had a strange personality, he would never do such a thing.
"This isn't a matter of possibility, it's a fact. If I didn't have evidence, I wouldn't dare to violate the World Government's previous agreement."
Spandam's eyes were fixed on Tom.
"Of course, if you don't want your student to be punished, there are other ways."
Spandam revealed his true intentions.
"Hand over those blueprints, and no one will bother you again."
"I told you, I don't have those blueprints."
Tom was stunned, then immediately shook his head.
"Alright, in that case, I'll send people to arrest your student to complete my mission."
Spandam had been investigating this matter in the City of Water Seven for a long time.
The blueprints were in Tom's hands; he was certain of this.
Now that this Fish-man wouldn't agree, he would just arrest him.
Given the relationship between Tom and his student, he was sure he would be satisfied with the final result.
"The merit of the Sea Train will offset this matter."
Tom's face twisted in a struggle, and he suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Are you sure? If you do that, according to the previous agreement, you will be executed."
Spandam looked at Tom, his expression grim.
Tom nodded with a heavy expression.
Of course he knew, but Tom could imagine what these World Government guys would do.
If this matter didn't end, it would just keep going on.
"No, you can't. At least not for the time being. I need President Tom to help me build a ship, so you can't take him away!"
Just as the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Tom, a voice rang out from outside.
