Chapter 192 You're really something!
Borsalino is a lazy person, Roman knows that very well.
So she hadn't expected Borsalino to get involved in this matter anyway.
The reason I wanted his answer was simply to see just how perceptive he really was.
But Roman didn't expect that he would turn around and tell Sakazuki about it.
This hot-tempered old man couldn't tolerate even the slightest imperfection. If he hadn't known about this incident while Roman was learning tea ceremony at Crane's house, he probably would have been invited away immediately.
"Tell me your thoughts, Roman. What is your basis for this?"
Almost bluntly, when Roman entered Sakassky's office, she felt as if she had entered a sauna.
"You mean the issue with Lieutenant Vergo?"
“That’s right, Borsalino told me that you think there’s something wrong with Vergo. I’d like to hear your specifics.”
Despite his volatile temper, Sakazuki has one redeeming quality: when it comes to important matters, he doesn't mind listening to other people's opinions and perspectives.
Especially since Roman had previously discovered a spy, Sakazuki was naturally eager to hear his story.
"how to say?"
How should I write this?
How did Roman know Vergo was problematic? Well, it's because of the plot, of course.
But now it seems I made too many promises.
Borsalino, you're really something.
Sakazuki is a serious person. Once he notices a problem, he won't wait and see like Borsalino; instead, he will take immediate action.
That being the case...
"Actually, I can't be completely sure either, mainly because there are other reasons. Before joining the navy, I worked as a guard on merchant ships."
As you know, merchants sailing the seas are often targets of pirates, so I've encountered quite a few pirate attacks. Of course, I either killed those pirates or threw them into the Navy's branch.
Upon hearing this, Sakazuki's face showed an approving expression.
Sakazuki, whose career has always been about fighting pirates, is never stingy with his praise for others' efforts in combating pirates.
Although it might be a little awkward for him to give direct praise, if it can soften his expression, you should know that you have received his appreciation.
"Because my opponent at the time was Shada, whose bounty had exceeded 100 million, who was a supernova two years ago. He was the most valuable person I had ever killed in the North Sea, so I remember the details about him very clearly."
After killing him, I nearly destroyed his ship and found a bunch of contraband, but his men, seemingly desperate to save their own lives, promised me a large sum of money if I met the consignee.
"Although I didn't intend to let him go, I thought about it and decided that since we've run into each other, we might as well clean things up together. It would be a good deed for Beihai."
Sakazuki nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"At that time, the man described me as a gang member with a bowl-shaped head, wearing sunglasses, about 2.5 meters tall, and carrying a bamboo stick as a weapon."
Hearing this, Sakazuki was about to speak, but Roman seemed to have anticipated it and continued, "Lieutenant General Sakazuki, I know that a person's statement alone cannot be taken as complete evidence, and although these characteristics are very similar to those of Lieutenant Vergo, it could just be a coincidence. To be honest, I don't think it's that much of a coincidence."
"But that pirate told me that the contact was very easy to spot; his face was always covered in all sorts of snacks, and he did it every day. And coincidentally, Lieutenant Vergo was exactly like that..."
After saying that, Roman took out the photos he had taken.
That's right, Roman also secretly took photos of Vergo.
After all, he was an undercover agent, and one sent by Doflamingo at that, so Roman was somewhat concerned about Vergo.
She was especially curious about just how much stuff this old man could put on his face.
"Furthermore, my Observation Haki has always been very effective at discerning the truthfulness of language, and I believe what that pirate told me is true." To increase credibility, Roman immediately used his professional skills.
Is this considered utter nonsense?
Roman was at a loss for words, feeling both amused and exasperated.
It's often said that working backward from the result is easier, but talking nonsense with a straight face in front of Sakazuki still puts a considerable challenge to one's skills.
However, the result was better than Roman had expected. Perhaps she herself did not realize that her words had carried considerable weight, to the point that even Sakazuki could not ignore them.
When it comes to whistleblowing, it depends on who made the whistleblower. Since the whistleblower was Sylvie Roman, the significance of this whistleblower's report is quite high.
Especially since an undercover agent was discovered in the G5 fortress, Roman wrote him a 30-page report on fortress reform, which has been a thorn in Sakazuki's side ever since. Therefore, he also intends to reform the atmosphere and will never let any spy get away with it.
And so, with the right answer and a serious attitude combined, Sakazuki was about to get serious.
"Brigadier General Roman, I am aware of your report. If what you say is true, then Lieutenant Vergo is indeed a prime suspect."
Sakazuki had little interest in gangs; these things weren't his concern.
But your gang has a history of dealing with pirates, and that's no joke. In that case, I'll show you what ruthless methods are.
If you supply contraband to one pirate, you can make another deal, which only emboldens pirates.
"I will keep a close eye on this matter. If the situation turns out to be true, Brigadier General Roman, I will remember your contribution."
……
"Lieutenant General Borsalino, you actually told Lieutenant General Sakazuki about this? It seems you're just looking for trouble." Roman said with a playful expression after seeing Borsalino.
She was too talkative, which forced her to make up a story on the spot.
"Sakazuki is much better at this than I am. Once he catches even the slightest clue, that person won't be able to escape." Of course, I'm scared of being tricked by you. It's better to leave this kind of troublesome thing to Sakazuki.
"You are truly a good friend of Lieutenant General Sakazuki."
If you don't want to step on a landmine yourself, just pass it on to Sakazuki.
However, if he falls into Sakazuki's hands, Vergo is likely to suffer greatly.
If the Don Quixote family in Beihai had been any less fortunate, they would likely have suffered as well.
Doflamingo once dared to provoke Kuzan and Issho, and Roman believed that the two men's tempers played a big part in the reason. If it were Sakazuki, well, he'd be fresh fertilizer for the flowers.
