[One Piece] The Informant Doesn't Do Cute

When she was six, she was a clown in a circus, and he was a spirited young man. He was the only one who saw her.

When she was eight, she betrayed Shanks, who had taken her in, and became an information broker who loved rum. She carefully scraped by in this chaotic world.

When she was fourteen, she made a deal with him. She helped him slaughter every last one of them. She said, "When you become a famous pirate, I'll be your right-hand woman!"

At sixteen, when it was time to honor their agreement, the Marines deceived her and turned her into their information machine. She had only one regret: not getting aboard Kid's ship. But she also wanted to put those arrogant pirates in their place.

She had a confidant, too, even if he was an old guy. Like her, he loved rum, unlike that red-haired hedgehog who only liked ordinary beer. She was willing to live in this chaotic world because the people she loved were here. And so was the work she loved.

As she drank with the pirate king who stood at the very pinnacle of the world, she said that she wanted a family, too. Family could mean companions, former rivals, or even enemies from the past.

The wickedness in people's hearts had taught her to refuse and doubt far too young. But she was still willing to believe that somewhere in this world were companions she could rely on. Fighting back to back, neither of us needs to practice guarding against an attack from behind.

Hello, I'm Crown, an information broker.

I sell information, not cuteness.

I know many readers came to my story specifically to read about Kid, but I want to say this: In the world I've carefully built, called "The Information Broker Doesn't Do Cute," Kid isn't the only person here. There are many, many others struggling to make their way through life! ((‵_′))

That's my firm limit and bottom line for this story! If you came here only for Kid, I'm sorry I've kept you waiting so long... [Bows] If you can't accept this, please click the red "X" without hesitation. [Bows]

As for signing a contract and all that, I've given up... So I've unlocked everything for you to read... I'll continue this story and start new ones after the college entrance exams... I hope you'll keep supporting me. Thank you, everyone...
