Chapter 473: Only I Can Kick My comrades"They can't escape."Kalifa spoke with confidence, and she certainly had the right to, as she whipped out her thorn whip and bound the three detached carriages."Blueno!"She then had Blueno pull the carriages back with force.Usopp and the others' efforts were instantly rendered futile."Waaah, we're being pulled back!"With the sudden force, Usopp lost his balance and fell to the ground again.Sanji also stumbled."What kind of monstrous strength is that..."Blueno held onto the two carriages with both hands, acting as a connector."To use such a despicable trick as smoke!"(Smoker, once again implicitly criticized): (Very harsh words).Seeing this, Sanji could only step forward to block."It seems it's still not enough!""Sniper King, you must protect Robin!"Usopp quickly got up, "Oh! Got it."...Meanwhile.Lucci was still somewhat rule-abiding, reminding the others that they had promised Robin not to harm the Straw Hat Pirates.Sanji came before Blueno, raising his leg to strike, and as he kicked, he said,"You put so much effort into pulling the carriage back, but I'm sorry, please let go of your hands!!"Blueno was utterly dismissive, spitting out two words, "Iron Body."Sanji's kick indeed couldn't budge Blueno an inch."What's with this hardness?!"Sanji was surprised.Franky reminded him again, "Didn't I tell you they like to use strange moves?!"Sanji heard it, but whether he understood or not was unclear. He simply inverted himself, his legs rapidly spinning. When they reached their limit, he released this immense kinetic energy, kicking Blueno's side chest with his ankle."Coarse Crush!!"Blueno's body trembled, letting out a pained "Ugh." The invincible Iron Body was broken again. Hopefully, there's no Iron Body in heaven."What a heavy kick, even Iron Body collapsed."Kaku said, with a hint of approval for Sanji in his tone."Don't underestimate him, Blueno.""Although he hasn't been given a bounty, he should also be one of the main forces."Sanji did a backflip, "You're only realizing it now, you bastards."Just as he was about to continue attacking, he heard Usopp's voice from behind."Robin, hands, hands!!"Sanji turned his head and saw Robin using her Devil Fruit Ability to sprout eight arms on Usopp, locking his neck, arms, and feet."Sister Robin, what are you doing!!""Ocho Fleur: Twist!"As Robin's voice rang out, the arms bent Usopp's body backward. With a distinct 'click,' Usopp fell backward, convulsing all over."How many times have I told you!! Don't worry about me!!"Robin shouted. She wasn't trying to be an enemy of Luffy and the others; she was simply too afraid of the Buster Call. In her mind, she was saving them.Whoosh!A gust of wind came from behind, and Sanji only heard Kaku's voice, "Where are you looking?"Sanji immediately turned to look, only to see Kakuflying towards him, kicking out.But at this moment, Satoru's figure instantly appeared, striking down Kaku's outstretched leg with a low whip kick.The speed was so fast that even Kaku was surprised. Although Satoru was currently handcuffed with Sea Stone, only his Devil Fruit Ability was nullified, making him feel powerless, but he wasn't dead.Kaku's kick was struck down, and he activated Moonwalk, returning to the second carriage.Satoru, on the other hand, went to the third carriage."Satoru."Sanji called out.Satoru returned a smile and kicked Sanji out. Of course, it wasn't as forceful as Kaku's."Ugh!""What are you doing too!! Aren't you comrades? You long-haired guy!!"Franky was confused. Their camaraderie was truly complicated."I said, I'm betraying with Sister Robin now.""Sister Robin, if you're going to make a move, then I'll join you."Satoru looked at Robin and said with a smile. Even handcuffed with Sea Stone, he still had some fighting power, though not strong. But Sanji had no idea he would launch a sneak attack.Robin was silent. Satoru was like a madman; she couldn't understand him at all."Argh!!""You strange bastards!!"Franky gradually became agitated, stepping forward and pressing his hands against the wall – the wall of the third carriage door.He gritted his teeth and exerted force."Why can't you just talk things out... There was clearly a chance to escape!!!"With a bang, Franky pushed the entire wall open, causing it to crack. Blueno's arm became free, and he, along with Franky, who was propelled by inertia, returned to the second carriage."Franky!!"Sanji shouted.Satoru was handcuffed with Sea Stone, so his kick wasn't heavy, and Sanji didn't seem to have suffered any injuries."Who told you to meddle?"Kaku said to Franky, who was sprawled on the second carriage."Why are you helping them?"Lucci was puzzled."Hahahaha, I just don't want them to be unable to go back to how things were before because of a moment of impulsiveness."Franky replied, referring to Sanji, Satoru, and Robin, and also to himself and Iceberg.Lucci still didn't understand."What are you talking about?"Franky didn't reply again. Instead, he stood up and shouted to Sanji and the others behind him."Hey, you guys don't have to worry about me. I have my own plan. After you rendezvous with Straw HatLuffy, find a way to go back."One could only say that Franky was a true man."Franky! What are you doing!! I won't run away!"Robin also shouted. She knew that if she returned to Water 7, the Buster Call might appear there."Wait, Sister Robin, what are you still saying at this point!""We came to save you precisely because we knew the truth. If there was a way to deal with the World Government's Buster Call, you wouldn't have succumbed to them, would you?"Sanji also understood that the problem lay with the Buster Call.The terror of the Buster Call lay in its endless gunpowder and five Vice Admirals, Marineford Vice Admirals.Even Bullet, the Devil's Descendant, who was comparable to Rayleigh, fell to the Buster Call."But the problem is precisely the Buster Call."Blueno's voice suddenly emerged from behind Sanji. He had spatial-jumped directly from the second carriage to the third, using his Devil Fruit Ability to open a door in the atmosphere, allowing for short-distance spatial jumps. The scene inside the Air Door was a lush green.Another attack from behind. Sanji turned around, and Blueno kicked out.Again, Satoru intervened, but this time with two kicks: one to stop Blueno and one to kick Sanji away.Blueno's kick was halfway out when Satoru kicked it back down. But seeing him kick Sanji again, he said nothing.Satoru, on the other hand, stated, "Only I can kick my comrades.""You're not planning to follow the rules?"Blueno remained silent, not answering."Usopp, fall back. You're no match for him right now."Seeing Usopp about to make a move, Satoruwarned him. Even if he did, it would be useless; Blueno would just open a door and go back, and he'd just get hurt for nothing.
Chapter 474: Existence Itself Is Not a Sin"Satoru is right.""Stop wasting your effort. Don't worry about me anymore."Robin followed up on Satoru's words. Naturally, she didn't want to see Sanji and Usopp get hurt.Although Usopp had already taken a "back-breaking" hit from her, and Sanji had taken two kicks from Satoru... Satoru himself was panting. Wearing seastone handcuffs already made him weak, and now with this "strenuous exercise," it would be strange if he wasn't tired. This feeling reminded him of his frail, sickly body before he mastered Armament Haki and received the feedback from Garp's physique replication.Don't be fooled into thinking he looked strong, able to block two kicks from Kaku and Blueno even while wearing seastone handcuffs. In reality, Satoru was just accustomed to this feeling of powerlessness, especially from the devilish training he underwent with Beckman and the others when he was young.Although he could still stand now, he was utterly exhausted."Hoo... hoo... Go back, Sanji, Usopp.""Then, meet up with Luffy and the others, and come back for us!!""Stop talking!! Satoru!!"Robin interjected. Wasn't Satoru just stirring up trouble? She was telling them to leave, but he was telling them to gather everyone and return."Hurry and leave this place."Robin turned and actively walked into the Air Door."Wait!!"It was Usopp's voice."Don't worry, Robin, you'll be fine, just like Satorusaid.""A pirate cannot leave a pirate crew without the Captain's permission.""You must...""Believe in Luffy!!!""Believe in Luffy"—those four words pierced Robin's heart, but at this point, she couldn't afford not to leave.Robin silently turned and walked into the Air Door. Blueno signaled Satoru with his eyes. Satoruwalked in openly, and Blueno followed last, responsible for closing the door.Sanji and Usopp could only watch helplessly as they left right before their eyes."Damn it!!!"Sanji kicked the nearby seat, shattering it—another victim following the den den mushi.Usopp was relatively calmer, or perhaps, as he himself said, he believed in Luffy. Soon, Luffy and the others would be on their way... The sea train, now reduced to just two cars, continued to speed across the ocean.The Straw Hat Pirates truly wreck everything everywhere they go.Or rather, all protagonists are like this.Soon after, light appeared ahead. The train had finally arrived near the front entrance of Enies Lobby.Looking at the outline of Enies Lobby appearing before him, Lucci couldn't help but exclaim."We can see it now. We'll be there soon.""It brings back memories. After all, it's been five years since I left.""The 'City That Never Sleeps'—Enies Lobby."Enies Lobby, a place where night never falls, which is why it is called the City That Never Sleeps... Inside one carriage.Robin and Satoru "returned," but Franky was also there."Really? That bastard Iceberg is still alive!!""Uh-huh, why would I lie to you? It's thanks to Robinnot shooting and me personally rescuing him from the fire. Never mind that, do you have any cola? Get me a bottle; I'm exhausted."Satoru replied. He really was tired. A sip of 'otaku happy water' right now would be wonderful.Franky breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Satoru's confirmation."Phew, that idiot Iceberg! I heard he was killed. So he's still alive, that's great.""Cola, huh? It's in my stomach, but I'm handcuffed right now, and so are you... So, open your mouth?"Franky displayed his abs.Use his mouth... Satoru said, "Forget it. Sister Robin, can you get me a bottle?"Robin glanced at Satoru, then at Franky's stomach, and chose to ignore them.Franky saw Robin's expression, and now it was his turn to persuade her."The Long-Haired Man said you didn't shoot Iceberg dead, which proves you're still a good person. That guy Iceberg deserves to take a few non-fatal shots.""However, I possess the Blueprints for the ancient weapons, and you can 'awaken' the weapons.""Looks like I'm the most useless one here, huh."Satoru interjected."Don't interrupt, Long-Haired Man.""Now that the two of us have been captured, the World Government has gathered both keys needed to revive the weapons.""When this power becomes reality, the World Government will naturally use it to put an end to the Great Pirate Era. The ancient weapons are that terrifying.""My master risked his life to protect these Blueprints, and he certainly wouldn't want to see this outcome. I won't surrender obediently.""However, it's meaningless if only I escape. You also need to return to Straw Hat and the others as soon as possible.""...Oh, and you too, Long-Haired Man."Satoru returned a polite smile to Franky.Robin lowered her head, growing sadder the more she thought about it."It's impossible now. If I stay with them, I'll only end up hurting them."Franky countered."It's not you who is hurting them! The World Government says your existence is a sin.""But no matter what kind of destructive weapon it is, existence itself is not a sin!!""Existence itself is not a sin.""I like that line.""Big Iron Man is right, Sister Robin."Big Iron Man?? Franky was stunned. Was that what he was being called?Satoru indicated that he was the type who sought "revenge" immediately. If calling him Long-Haired Man was so easy, then calling him Big Iron Man wasn't too much, was it?"Existence itself has no sin.""No one has the right to define someone else's existence as a sin.""Take the ancient weapons, for example. They are so dangerous and pose a risk of destroying the world, yet countless people want to obtain them, and no one believes their existence is a sin.""Including the people who created them.""Look at it differently: Aren't you and the ancient weapons the same?""Your existence might destroy the world.""Then why do they desperately want the ancient weapons, but wish for you to die?""Because they are CPU-ing... uh... DNA-ing... uh... they are PUA-ing you.""They are grabbing onto your pain points and subjecting you to mental control, making you feel like a sinner, making you feel unworthy of having comrades or happiness.""To hell with them!! That's all bullshit!!"Satoru, angered, directly swore out loud.Speaking of which, let's talk about Satoru's third ability: Luck.Luck cannot be defined, but after becoming an ability, Satoru's luck became a visible number.Numerically, human luck peaks at 100 points, which is extreme fortune.This value refreshes daily for ordinary people, and the same is true for Satoru.However, Satoru's ability gives him an extra 100 points, gaining 1 point per day.Provided he doesn't swear, it is permanent, accumulating one point per day, up to a maximum of 100.As mentioned, Satoru has an extra 100 points. This means if, on a certain day, Satoru's base luck is the extreme maximum of 100 points, plus the accumulated 100 points...200 points—that would be super fortune, the kind of luck where even a shot fired by Pluton would just graze him, leaving him completely unharmed.But there is good luck and bad luck.The points differentiate them.1 point is the normal state; the more points, the greater the fortune accumulation.Conversely, a negative number, -1, is ordinary misfortune; the more negative, the worse the bad luck, down to -100, which is extreme misfortune.This is where Satoru's Luck ability comes into play.If Satoru's luck for the day is the extreme misfortune of -100, but he has the ability's extra 100 points, adding them together results in 0, the normal state. Whether he's unlucky or lucky then depends entirely on fate.But there is a side effect: because he swore, the 100 accumulated extra luck points, gathered over 100 days, are instantly reset to zero. If he continues to swear, it will deduct from Satoru's own random luck for that day, point by point.If that day was lucky, it would be fine, but if it was unlucky, he would become even more unlucky.Therefore, the system warned him not to swear, or risk bad luck.Getting back to the main topic, Satoru ignored the fact that his extra luck points were wiped out and continued speaking."Simply put, they are just threatening you with force.""Sister Robin, you deserve happiness, you deserve comrades, you deserve to live!""I don't care what you think right now, just remember this.""You deserve to live."
Chapter 475: Cut It DownAboard the rocket man.While Sanji and the others were dealing with CP9 and rescuing Robin, Luffy and his crew were chasing after them.At this moment, Satoru had "fainted" again. This was the time point on the sea train when Satoruwoke up and chatted with Robin and Usopp.Naturally, Satoru's consciousness could not exist in two bodies simultaneously."He's asleep again.""He's asleep again.""Is Big Brother White-Hair really that tired?"Zambai and the others watched Satoru, who was sitting in the chair and had fallen asleep again, speaking as if they were observing an exhibit."You know better than to disturb him."Zoro spoke up, telling them to stay away from Satoru.After all, they still didn't know this was Satoru's consciousness switching, and thought Satoru was genuinely exhausted."Hey! Everyone!! I see the train ahead!!"Luffy was in the shark head VIP seating area of the rocket man, where a skylight allowed him to lean out and see the situation ahead. He suddenly hung his head upside down and shouted.Everyone was naturally excited. Pauly yelled, "Is that the Tom's Go?"Kokoro, the driver, found it a bit strange, even though the rocket man didn't actually need driving since it couldn't stop."Is it that fast?"Although the rocket man was fast, the sea trainwasn't slow either. Kokoro found it strange that they caught up so quickly.However, the truth was that what Luffy saw were the sixth and seventh cars of the sea train that Sanjiand the others had disconnected.The 50 Marine Soldiers and World Governmentpersonnel inside the cars were also panicking, as the two cars were uncontrollably drifting backward, like chewed gum, completely unable to stop."That's the sea train! But it has no engine, just two cars floating on the sea!!"Everyone with fighting strength came to the roof of the car.Zambai adjusted the telescope he often wore over his right eye and explained the situation of the cars ahead.Everyone was puzzled. What was going on?Was it cut off?Then are Sanji, Usopp, and Franky on it?That's important.More importantly..."We're about to crash! Can't we stop, Kokoro?!"Pauly said to Kokoro, who was still drinking.Kokoro, who would drink even if the sky fell, replied, "Nope, you guys figure it out yourselves! Ungagaga!!""Luffy, what are you trying to do?"Chopper saw Luffy on the shark head looking ready for action and asked."I'm going to check the people inside the train.""Gomu Gomu no... Rocket!!"With a whoosh, Luffy flew across."Great, I'm here.""Who is that?""That guy is Straw Hat Luffy!!!"The Soldiers and World Government personnel were extremely surprised to see Luffy.Luffy acted as if he couldn't see them, calling out Sanji and the others' names, but naturally received no reply.Luffy then turned around, raised his hand to make an 'X' sign toward everyone on the rocket man, completely ignoring the people behind him who were shooting him."He was shot multiple times and said none of our comrades are on board."Zambai relayed the message again."So, those people are all World Governmentpersonnel."Pepporone was the one who said this."So what should we do?""If we can't dodge it, we're finished too.""Alright, before it crashes into us, I'll dismantle it!!"Zambai picked up a wrench, and the Franky Familymembers behind him also agreed and prepared to go together.But at that moment, Luffy's voice calling Zoro was heard."Zoro!!""Roronoa, Straw Hat is calling you."Pepporone helped remind him. Zoro was sitting in the back, nearly asleep himself.Pepporone hadn't expected, "Does everyone in your crew love sleeping this much?"Zoro, having been reminded, looked toward Luffy.Luffy spoke naturally and calmly."Cut it down, it's in the way."Zoro's reply was even calmer."Oh."Zambai was astonished. "You agreed as easily as drinking water! That's too much confidence!""He actually just said, 'Oh'!!"Zoro ignored them, turning his body to face the sea train.He gripped the hilts of Yukibashiri and sandai kitetsuwith both hands, then began to chant."Slicing the decadent self of this world in two.""Two Sword Style: Iai: Rashomon!!"Iaijutsu is about drawing and sheathing the sword, focusing on speed.Just as the two cars were about to collide, Zorodrew his swords and slashed rapidly.Looking at his posture, he was already kneeling with his knees spread, sheathing his swords.The two cars of the Smoking Tom's Go had already been cleanly sliced apart, and the rocket manpassed right through the middle.The Soldiers and World Government personnel inside the cars, including Zambai and his crew, were utterly shocked.How shocked?The description is: eyes bulging, mouths wide open, tongues flapping up and down like swimming dragons, followed by a super loud shout."EHHHH!!!!"The split cars, carrying the people inside, tumbled into the sea on both sides, while Luffy lightly jumped back onto the rocket man.Pepporone, still shaken, shouted at Luffy."Can you guys warn us before you do something like that!!"Luffy looked confused. "Didn't I say I was going to have Zoro cut it?""Who knew he could actually cut it in half."Zambai, however, was shocked by something else: the fact that Zoro wasn't the Captain."A guy this powerful isn't the Captain."Others had expressed similar sentiments before.But Zambai seemed to forget that Satoru, who froze the Aqua Laguna, wasn't the Captain either, and was merely an "office worker" like the Captain's secretary.Satoru expressed: "That's right, that's right, we are all cultured people."
Chapter 476: Do It!!Zoro sliced off two carriages of the sea train, and the rocket man continued its pursuit.While Zambai and the others were marveling at Zoro's strength, Zoro yelled out."It's not over yet!!"He even took out the "Main Body" black bandana he usually wore on his arm and put it on, signifying that Zoro was getting serious.Luffy and Zambai heard Zoro's voice, looked ahead, and saw a gigantic Sea King, just like the two carriages, sliced in half down the middle."Whoa!! Everyone look ahead!!""The Sea King was cut into two pieces!! It was twice as large as a train carriage!!"Zambai continued to act as the narrator and hype man.Zoro, however, was staring seriously ahead. He knew the person who had sliced the Sea King was right in front of them.The one who sliced the Sea King was none other than the missing guard from the two carriages, now running on the train tracks: Marine Colonel T-Bone.Just as Satoru had said, there were scoundrels in the Marine, but also true justice dedicated to the people. T-Bone was one such person.He was running on the tracks now, and his words were also for the people."If I allow the prisoner I was escorting to escape, how many ordinary citizens will bleed because of it!!""I want to tell everyone that even in this unequal world, justice still exists!!""Even if my hands and feet are broken by the waves!! I will not give up!!""My duty is to protect the safety of the innocent populace!!!"These were his original words, spoken tearfully, regretting his own foolishness and the potential consequences.Just then, a rumbling sound came from behind. T-Bone heard it, immediately turned around to look, and saw the rocket man."What is that? A sea train? A new sea train?""There are people on it!"T-Bone saw Zoro standing at the bow of the ship.Correspondingly, Zoro was looking at him too.Both felt that the other was formidable; this was the intuition between swordsmen.Zambai the explainer spoke up."That is'Ship Cutter T-Bone'!!!""What? Ship Cutter?"Luffy was confused."He is a man who can slice pirate ships like steak! He's a Marineford Colonel!!""Why is he here!!""Fire the canon!! Brothers, prepare to fire!!"Zambai was truly panicked, as the person opposite was famous."Wait."Luffy spoke again."Wait for what! If we wait any longer, our sea trainwill be sliced in half by him!""Didn't you see that Sea King just now?"Zambai responded excitedly.Luffy remained calm, "Just leave it to Zoro, don't interfere with him."Hearing Luffy's answer, Zambai looked at his serious expression, recalled how Zoro had sliced the sea train with one cut just moments ago, and could only choose to trust Zoro... Meanwhile, Zoro at the front of the train spoke."I'll only say this once!! Get out of the way!!"T-Bone thought about many things, such as how they managed to get onto the same track as him and his subordinates.He also recognized Zoro as Robin's crewmate, Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro.Therefore, all his thoughts converged into one declaration: "This road leads to justice! I am a Marineford Colonel!! I will not live in shame!! I will cut you down!!"Zoro bit down on his wado ichimonji, adopting the Three Sword Style stance. Recalling the Sea King sliced in half, he thought that T-Bone's strength was formidable."That won't do. The place we need to go!! Is right ahead of you!!""Bring it on!!"T-Bone raised his sword and shouted back in response.Looking at this, it was clear negotiations had broken down.The two instantly built up momentum."Right Angle Flying Bird...""Three Sword Style: Gyūki...""Bone Great Bird!!"Right Angle Flying Bird: Bone Great BirdT-Bone struck first, using his sword to conjure a right-angled sword wave in the air, sending out a slash that could change direction mid-air to attack the enemy, with the tip of the slash resembling a bird's head.The curved slash was unpredictable, yet Zoro raised his two swords and blocked it.T-Bone's eyes widened. He thought, 'He saw through it!!'Zoro seized the advantage and pressed the attack."Brave Claw!"Three Sword Style: Gyūki: Brave Claw is similar to Two Sword Style: Bull Needle, both are thrusting attacks, the only difference being the addition of one more sword, which naturally increases the number and power of the thrusts.A single move pierced through.T-Bone was defeated, knocked into the sea on the right, and the rocket man passed through.So much for Zoro saying he was formidable—he defeated him in one move.A certain Nine-Tailed Fox expressed empathy, recalling being called formidable before being slammed into the ground with a single palm strike."Woah!!""He defeated Ship Cutter!!!"Zambai cheered again to hype up the mood, indicating that he definitely wasn't the one who had been nervous moments ago.Zoro jumped up and grabbed onto the rocket man, looking at T-Bone sinking into the sea."You are a brave man for emerging from the train carriage and chasing the sea train through the storm, but you cannot stop us.""Although you bear a heavy burden of justice, our burden is not light either."On the Straw Hat Pirates, it could be said that Zorowas the most rational and philosophical one, and his philosophy was genuinely profound, not just... After slicing the carriages and defeating T-Bone—these two obstacles—The rocket man continued its pursuit.However, Yokozuna the Frog suddenly appeared and swatted the rocket man, changing its direction. It did this because it thought Kokoro had been captured.As a result, the rocket man and Blueno separated.Blueno remained on the normal tracks, but the rocket man did not; its path gradually deviated.Fortunately, Kokoro, as a train conductor, possessed the log pose for all the train stations.Guided by the log pose and Nami's navigation skills, the rocket man returned to the correct tracks.Finally, upon approaching Enies Lobby and seeing its light, the rocket man and Blueno successfully rendezvoused.The Franky Family aboard Blueno also picked up Sanji and Usopp, who had lost in the fight to retrieve Robin."Luffy!!"The two groups shouted to each other across the distance.Luffy was very happy to see Sanji return and asked, "Who's the other one?""Ahem, I didn't miss any good drama, did I?""We can already see Enies Lobby.""It's time to prepare for an all-out battle!!"Satoru suddenly popped out and spoke.Although they were startled, everyone agreed with what Satoru said. It was time for an all-out operation.Moreover, since it was the enemy's home and the enemy's structures, they didn't need to hold back at all. There was only one word: Fight!!How could they possibly not tear the place down!!?
Chapter 477: Where's Luffy?"Sniper King of Sniper Island!""Yes.""I am Usopp's friend, and I've come to lend you a hand this time."Luffy and Chopper were very interested in Sniper King's identity, thinking he must be a hero.Because he wore a cape, and anyone wearing a cape must be a hero.What kind of logic is that?Forest Mask Bai Yun: Yeah, what kind of logic is that? Why am I not a hero? Is it because my cape is tattered?Compared to Luffy and Chopper, everyone else recognized immediately that Sniper King was Usopp.It wasn't that difficult; few people had a nose like that, and his voice, no matter how serious he tried to sound, clearly spelled out "Usopp"."Then where did Usopp go?"Luffy asked.Isn't lying something Usopp is good at?"He's safe, you don't need to worry about him. He wants you to go all out to rescue Robin.""I see.""Then, then where is Sniper Island?"Chopper asked curiously.Usopp gave Chopper an autograph, "In... your hearts."Such a perfunctory answer, but for Luffy and Chopper, it was very effective."In our hearts!""Miss Nami..."Sanji suddenly spoke, making everyone listen.He told everyone about Robin's worries, specifically about the Buster Call. Robin's fear stemmed largely from her childhood trauma, the Buster Call.Otherwise, Lucci and his group wouldn't have the right to make Robin surrender without even fighting.Even when Aokiji came, Robin dared to fight, even though she knew she would lose."I'm not making excuses for not rescuing Sister Robin.""However, we are now going to break into enemy territory, and we cannot guarantee that Sister Robinwill come back with us."After speaking, Sanji fell silent, waiting for everyone's reaction.Luffy and Chopper both raised their hands, shouting angrily."I don't care about any of that!""I will absolutely not forgive them!"However, Luffy's next sentence was."Damn Robin!""What nonsense are you talking about!"Nami immediately punched Luffy on the head.Satoru almost laughed out loud."Luffy, don't you understand?""I just know we're going to save Robin, but Robinwon't let us save her!"Luffy replied childishly.Satoru pushed his imaginary glasses and began to teach."If we don't save her, she'll die, right?""Right.""Does she want to die?""Of course not."Satoru nodded, 'This child can be taught'."Exactly. She doesn't want to die, and she doesn't want us to die either.""She's afraid we'll get hurt trying to save her, which is why she doesn't want us to. So, you just need to tell her that we're not afraid, and no matter what kind of opponent we face, we will rescue her.""Show her our determination, right?""Waaah, Robin is truly a man!"Chopper also understood, crying and praising Robin."That's right! That's exactly it!""No matter what kind of enemy we face! We will rescue her!""I'm going to punch all the enemies away!""I also have new moves to try."Luffy's spirits were high. Now he didn't need to think about anything; just as Satoru said, go save Robin! Show her their determination!"You really know how to coax people, Satoru."Nami gave him a thumbs-up.Satoru returned a smile, "I've been used to it since I was little."Then, Pauly took out a map of Enies Lobby and began discussing the attack plan with everyone. Having participated in its construction, Pauly was familiar with Enies Lobby.The outer layer of Enies Lobby was surrounded by a circle of iron fences.The entire island could be divided into four parts: the Front Island (the first main gate), the Main Island, the Tower of Justice, and the Bridge of Hesitation.There was also the Gate of Justice located behind the island and connected to the Bridge of Hesitation.The area below the island on the map was a dark expanse.Because Enies Lobby was actually suspended, with a large hole dug out of the ocean beneath it, whether it was naturally formed or man-made was unknown.And with a hole appearing on the sea level, seawater naturally flowed down from all directions, forming waterfalls.Enies Lobby was like a dipper, suspended over this large hole, with only one handle connecting to the edge. The Front Island then connected to the Main Island, but the Main Island, the Tower of Justice, and the Bridge of Hesitation were not connected to each other; instead, each was separated by a large waterfall, requiring drawbridges to be lowered to pass."If they pass through the Gate of Justice, we won't be able to rescue Robin.""We have to get there before that.""And even if everyone reaches the Main Island, only you can deal with CP9."Having come this far, Pauly was already impressed by Luffy and their strength.Pauly's plan was for him, Nergal Galette, Pepporone, and the Franky Family to launch the initial attack, opening the Front Island's main gate and the Main Island's main gate of Enies Lobby.Luffy and the others would wait on the rocket manfor 5 minutes, and once the time was up, they would charge straight in and keep pushing forward."We only have about 60 people, and the enemy has at least two or three thousand. So, Straw Hat, you must avoid unnecessary battles and save your strength to deal with CP9."Luffy mimicked Satoru's thoughtful expression, stroking his chin, and finally nodded solemnly."Okay! Got it!"But for some reason, Zoro and Nami always had a bad feeling.And Satoru was asleep again, he was asleep again!"What time is it now!""Satoru, you're still sleeping!"Nami pushed Satoru, but he fell straight down like a statue."Eh!?"Nami was surprised.Zoro extended his scabbard to catch Satoru's body, then pushed him back, and Satoru sat back up like a roly-poly toy.At this point, Zoro also understood."Satoru probably isn't just sleeping.""Don't worry about him, he knows what he's doing."Although everyone was puzzled, it seemed Satorucouldn't be woken up, so they let it go. As Zoro said, Satoru knew what he was doing, and they didn't need to worry about Satoru's strength."We're here, little ones."Kokoro said.The rocket man had arrived in front of Enies Lobby.The colossal Gate of Justice was dazzling, and calling it towering was no exaggeration.To push it open with brute force, one would need an unimaginable amount of strength.Kokoro explained that prisoners naturally didn't need the gate to be fully opened, just a crack.And the waterway behind the gate, like the Calm Belt, was a nest of gigantic Sea Kings. The Marines' method of passing through was unknown."That means, to rescue her, we have to hurry before that gate opens and closes!""Stop dawdling!"Kokoro encouraged Luffy and the others."Alright, then let's proceed as planned!"Zambai said.Nami and Usopp, blended in, expressed their agreement.Then Zoro pulled them out, but Zoro then discovered a new problem, "Where's Luffy
Chapter 478: Is This the Time for Sleeping?!"Where's Luffy?"As they prepared to launch their plan to attack Enies Lobby, everyone realized a problem: Luffy had gone missing again.That was absolutely... not surprising."He was just here a moment ago."Nami pointed at the floor, saying that Luffy had been standing right there."Ah!! Straw Hat!!"Zambai's voice rang out. He looked outside and saw Luffy's figure, using his Devil Fruit Ability to fly over the fence outside Enies Lobby and charge in first."He acted on his own initiative!!""Why doesn't he stick to the plan!!"Zambai and Pauly felt... like kicking Luffy twice. *Didn't you say you understood?*Luffy: Yeah, I understood. Doesn't it just mean attacking directly?"Never mind!! We'll proceed according to plan!!""Charge!! Climb over the iron fence and ram open the main gate!!"Instead of wasting time blaming Luffy for his recklessness, they should hurry up and chase after him.The three shipwrights—Pauly, Davy Jones, and Pepporone—along with the 53 members of the Franky Family, launched their attack aboard Blueno... Meanwhile, the remaining members of the Straw Hat Pirates stayed inside the sea train car.Regarding Luffy's actions.Nami felt helpless. "It was all for nothing."Sanji recalled, "He seemed to have said, 'I understood'?"Usopp commented, "Asking him to wait five minutes is simply impossible."Zoro nodded in agreement. "That's true.""Mhmhm, that's just how little straw hat is. Why would Little Satoru acknowledge him as Captain?"Satoru woke up, then slept, then woke up again, but this time, the words spoken..."You are not Satoru."Zoro glared intensely at Satoru, and the others couldn't help but look as well. That tone certainly wasn't like Satoru's; compared to him, it seemed to carry a hint of... wickedness."Oh dear, that look of yours is terrifying.""You only remember Little Satoru, but not me... Bai? How sad."Bai felt somewhat resistant to the name "Bai." How could it possibly match his tall physique and formidable strength?"Bai!!?""That's right. This body was seen transforming into Bai on Sky Island, but it was still Satoru speaking.""What exactly is going on with you two?"Sanji asked.The first time Bai transformed into a human body was beneath the giant vine on Sky Island. Everyone was there, except for Luffy and Nami, who were at the top of the vine."Oh dear, just some little secrets between us that can't be told."Bai stood up and replied with a smile.A drop of "speechlessness" appeared on the back of everyone's heads."Just kidding. In short, Little Satoru's consciousness can switch between my body and his own body. So, sometimes when he looks like he's asleep, his consciousness has just switched to the other body.""That's also why, back on Sky Island, even though Little Satoru wasn't there, he could project his consciousness onto me to help little straw hat fight that large-eared guy who shoots lightning."Bai explained seriously.Although everyone didn't know why they could switch consciousnesses, they didn't ask further. They were comrades, not enemies."I see, that's so cool."Chopper said. It wasn't hard to impress him.Bai looked at him. Although his face somewhat resembled Satoru's, the feeling was very different, especially when his red eyes suddenly became vertical slits. Chopper instantly bristled, goosebumps running from head to toe, sensing a wild beast's nature.Is he going to eat me?!!"Yikes!!"Chopper immediately hid behind Zoro, concealing half of his face."Do I look that scary? Little Deer.""We even talked when I was still a snake."This was the first time Bai had conversed with everyone in his human form; previously, it had always been Satoru's consciousness in the body."I'm not a Little Deer... Wait, I am a Little Deer."Normally at this point, Chopper would be called a Raccoon Dog, and he was used to refuting it."Hmph, hmph. And Green-Haired Swordsman, Yellow-Haired Cook, Money-Loving Navigator Miss, Long Nose, hello to... all of you."Bai's greeting left everyone unsure how to respond."Uh... hello, hello..."Usopp was the one who managed a reply.Bai nodded and walked toward the train car door. "Alright, someone important is coming, and Little Satoru told me to intercept him.""Little Satoru asked me to tell you that his Main Body is waiting for you to rendezvous inside Enies Lobby, and he will protect that Arm-Woman before you arrive.""Farewell."After speaking, Bai stepped into the air and flew off to intercept the person he mentioned—the fellow riding a bicycle across the sea surface and whistling. According to Little Satoru, if he participated in this battle, it would be a dimensionality reduction attack against the current Straw Hat Pirates, so he had to be stopped."An Admiral, huh? It's not like we haven't fought one before."Everyone watched Bai's retreating figure and looked at each other."Bai seems really powerful,"Usopp said."He was able to freeze Aqua Laguna, so how could he be weak?"Zoro replied."What? He froze the tsunami?"Sanji wasn't present then and was very surprised to hear this now."Yeah, that massive tsunami. It was all thanks to Bai, or else we would have been swept away."Chopper replied, confirming it as fact.Nami put her hands on her hips. "Although he seems mysterious, he's incredibly strong, and thankfully, he's our comrade.""At least... he seems quite fond of Satoru."Everyone nodded in agreement... While Luffy and the advance team launched their attack outside, the Straw Hat Pirates members waited for the five minutes to pass.Inside Spandam's office in the Tower of Justice.Spandam and the remaining three CP9 members—Jabra, Kumadori, and Fukurou—were all present.Naturally, the news of Luffy breaking into Enies Lobby had been reported to Spandam."He actually broke into the Main Island!! What good are you people?!""What about Oimo and Kashi?" (The two Giant Racegatekeepers, originally members of the Giant Warrior Pirates led by Dorry and Brogy, serving as guards for the second main gate.)"Were they taken out?!!"Spandam was furious upon hearing the news that Luffy had broken into the Main Island."No, no. It's the middle of the night, and they are still asleep."The communication Soldier immediately replied.Spandam grew even angrier upon hearing this."Sleeping? Is this the time for sleeping?!!""Wake them up immediately!!""Wake up all the sleeping Soldiers on the Main Island!!"The Dagon Race, who were woken up halfway through their sleep to work overtime by their leader, felt utterly pissed off!!Jabra leaned back on the sofa, his elbows resting on the backrest."It's just one intruder. Is there really a need to make such a fuss, Chief? We're here!"Spandam insisted that wasn't the point!!"Idiot! This place is the gateway to the World Government! It's the sacred Enies Lobby, symbolizing Justice!!""What does attacking this place mean? Even an idiot knows!""They dared to break into the Main Island for a comrade!!""This is an insult to us!!""Those damned Straw Hat brats!!""How dare they look down on me!!"After saying all that, Spandam probably cared most about the last sentence.
Chapter 479: He Must Be Someone of Extraordinary StrengthLuffy flew to the main island alone using his Devil Fruit Ability, attempting the challenge solo.On the front island, as the advance force composed of the shipwrights and the Franky Family attacked, things gradually became exceptionally lively—exceptionally lively with exploding cannon fire and flying bullets.Five minutes later, the remaining members of the Straw Hat Pirates aboard the rocket man sea trainwere also preparing to launch their attack.Meanwhile, Lucci and the others finally arrived at Spandam's office in the Tower of Justice... "Long time no see, Commander."Lucci stood in the center, and although he called Spandam "Commander," his expression was cold, devoid of any respect.He disdained pretense.But Spandam was very keen on it, immediately smiling upon seeing Lucci and the others return."You all worked hard!!""Lucci!!""Kaku!""Blueno!""Kalifa!"The others showed no reaction, but Kalifa adjusted her glasses and stated."That is sexual harassment.""I just called your name!!"Spandam shouted, "Is that how you define it!""The criminal who assaulted a World Governmentofficial in Water 7 eight years ago, Cutty Flam.""The criminal who attacked a Marine warship in Ohara in the West Blue 20 years ago, Nico Robin.""They have been successfully escorted here and are currently waiting outside the door.""And also...""Also? Did you have another secret mission, Lucci?""After all, you are the strongest."Jabra spoke up, with a hint of sarcasm and defiance.Lucci didn't even look at him. "Also, the pirate currently wanted for 80 million Berries, Long-Haired Bai Yun.""He claims to be an undercover agent placed on the Straw Hat Pirates by Vice Admiral Garp of Marineford. He accompanied us here, and for mission security, he has been fitted with seastone handcuffs.""Wh—What? Garp's undercover agent??"Ignoring Spandam's surprise, Lucci proceeded strictly by the book, like a machine."He is now demanding the handcuffs be removed, otherwise...""Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to have a serious talk with Old Man Garp about the way your CP9 handles things."Halfway through Lucci's sentence, Satoru walked in himself. Although his hands were bound by seastone handcuffs, he appeared calm and natural, looking around curiously... "You are the Commander of CP9, Spandam?""Looking at your appearance and aura, you must be someone of extraordinary strength.""Otherwise, how could you possibly lead the members of CP9?"Satoru naturally knew Spandam was useless; he said this purely to disgust CP9.Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, everyone except Lucci showed varying degrees of disgust. Lucci was also disgusted, but he didn't show it."Hahaha, that's me, that's me."Spandam loved what Satoru said."You say you're an undercover agent placed by Marineford's Garp that old... Vice Admiral, do you have any proof?"Satoru replied with a smile, "I can contact Vice Admiral Garp right now to prove my identity.""But, these handcuffs."Spandam pretended to think for a moment, but his mind was actually blank. He thought, since all the CP9 members are here, Satoru couldn't possibly cause trouble."Hmm...""Open them!!""Unlock them for him now!"As Commander, since Spandam had spoken, Kakusilently unlocked the handcuffs for Satoru.Who knew that the instant the handcuffs were removed and dropped, Satoru flashed forward, throwing a punch at Spandam, and Jabra also flashed forward, launching a kick.The final result.Satoru's punch aimed at Spandam landed only on the air to the right of his head.Meanwhile, Jabra, who was on Spandam's left, had his incoming kick caught by Satoru's raised left hand.Jabra was very surprised that Satoru caught his kick with a single hand. Although he specialized in boxing, his kicking power was not weak, yet it was caught one-handed."Ah ah..."Spandam's mouth hung open in shock; he hadn't expected Satoru to attack so suddenly.But Satoru smiled and stated."Oh my, what a truly formidable person! You casually dodged my punch."Although he said that, Satoru had simply missed Spandam on purpose."Huh!?""Ah!""Right, right, that's exactly it!!""But why did you suddenly attack!! You must give me an explanation."Given Satoru's words, Spandam was naturally very happy to accept the explanation."Just stretching my muscles. After all, nobody likes being handcuffed by Sea Stone, right?"Satoru replied."Er... you have a point, then...""Then I'll prepare to contact Vice Admiral Garp."Satoru pulled out the den den mushi from his clothes—the one Dragon had given him... "Buru Buru~""Buru Buru~""Ah Hu~ Ah Hu~"The call's destination was the dog head battleshipat Water Seven. Garp was basking in the sun and sound asleep, sugar powder crumbs clinging to the corner of his mouth, holding a half-eaten donut in his hand.Suddenly, the den den mushi in his chest pocket rang, but it couldn't wake Garp.Bogart, Garp's adjutant, saw this and reminded Garp."Commander."It was a normal volume, but it still couldn't wake Garp.Seeing this, Bogart straightened his back, took a breath, "COMMANDER!!"It was very loud.The other standing Soldiers were startled.The snot bubble on Garp's nose popped, and he woke up, digging his ear with his pinky finger."Bogart, why are you so loud?"Bogart didn't answer, while the background sound was the den den mushi ringing."Buru Buru~""Who is calling me at this hour?""That guy Sengoku?"Garp muttered to himself while pulling out the den den mushi, then picked up the receiver."Hello! Who is it?""Hello, can you hear me? It's me, Old Man.""Satoru? Why are you calling me?""Oh, is it wrong to miss you?""Stop talking nonsense. I can only believe half of what you say.""Speaking of which, I'm getting angry. I told you to follow Luffy to...""Doo doo doo...""...""He hung up. Um... he hung up the phone."Bogart reminded him, then suddenly feeling his phrasing was wrong, he added a clarification
Chapter 480: DorikiSatoru called Garp to prove his identity as a "spy" he had arranged on the Straw Hat Pirates, so he naturally couldn't say much, hanging up after getting to the crucial point.Garp listened to the dial tone from the receiver.Bogard kindly reminded him."Sir, he hung up."Garp put the receiver back."Hahahaha, that brat, still the same as when he was a kid. What kind of trick is he playing? Calling out of the blue like this, he definitely has ulterior motives.""Forget it, we'll meet soon anyway."Putting away the den den mushi, Garp looked at the sea horizon ahead. He was really looking forward to meeting his two grandsons and letting them once again feel his love.Luffy & Satoru: Don't you dare come over!!!...Back on the Tower of Justice."Speaking of which, I'm getting angry. I told you to follow Luffy to...""Click!""Beep beep beep..."As Garp got to the crucial point, Satoru hung up the den den mushi. Before Spandam could ask, he started to fool... no, to explain."See? That's enough to prove my identity, right?""Vice Admiral Garp's original words, 'I told you to follow Luffy to,' you all heard it.""Why does he sound a little angry? Maybe he thinks Luffy and I are too reckless, and I didn't keep an eye on them."After speaking, Satoru put away the den den mushiand leaned back on the sofa as if it were his own home, completely taking over as host.There were two sofas, with a table in the middle.Spandam stood inside, and Lucci and the other three stood outside.The three of Jabra were sitting on the left sofa, so Satoru had a sofa all to himself.Spandam's brain CPU quickly processed the information, but unfortunately, his configuration was low-level. Garp's words just now indeed proved that he knew Satoru, or that Satoru had a connection with Garp. So... there shouldn't be any problem, right?"Ah... hahahaha, of course, of course, that's enough to prove your identity. May I ask what your position is in the Marines?"Spandam was probing to see if Satoru's identity was someone to be trifled with. He was a CP9 officer, so logically he shouldn't care about Marinepersonnel, but Garp was different; that guy was definitely not to be provoked."I'm just an unknown person raised by Vice Admiral Garp since childhood. I haven't joined the Marines yet, but Vice Admiral Garp said that if I join the Marines, he'll arrange a position for me, at least not a common Soldier."Garp: Join the Marines? I wish!!Sengoku: Garp, stop photoshopping! They are all evil pirates!!Satoru's words were pure bluster. No official position meant it didn't matter. Why should a CP9 officer like me be polite to you? But the latter sentence about Garp raising him since childhood was not simple.This meant that provoking Satoru was almost the same as provoking Garp.Spandam wasn't smart, but he was a bureaucrat, so he understood these principles. He was a second-generation official, so regardless of whether he had ability or not, it was best to treat him amicably."I see, so why are you following Lucci and them to Enies Lobby, the gateway to our World Government?"Spandam asked."You know, Officer of CP9, is it okay to call you that?""Of course, of course, you can also call me Spandam.""I'll still call you Officer of CP9. After all, I'm just an undercover agent with no position right now, and I also like to call you that."Because every time he called him that, it disgusted the other "Six Powers Supermen" of CP9."After all, my mission is also to infiltrate the Straw Hat Pirates, and now they've fought their way to Enies Lobby.""The final outcome concerns whether I can continue my mission, and, on the surface, I am also a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. It's not too much to follow along, is it?""If I weren't considerate of you all, how could I wear seastone handcuffs? I would have just fought alongside them! After all, you have your mission, and I have mine."When Satoru lied, he spoke fluently and without hesitation. Fortunately, lying didn't deduct luck."Is... is that so.""Then what do you plan to do?""I'll just sit here with you and wait until the end to see who wins, how about it?"Satoru replied."Hahaha, of course! Don't worry, Enies Lobby isn't so easy to conquer. I know how strong Lucci and the others are, hahahaha.""You just sit there, oh no, think about your future life in the Marines."Spandam's words confidently implied that the Straw Hat Pirates wouldn't be leaving once they arrived, and Satoru's "mission" would also be over, so he could think about his future Marine life.Satoru crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and smiled."Then I'll wait and watch the show."...After Spandam and Satoru finished talking, Lucciintended to speak again.At this moment, Fukurou unzipped his mouth."Chappa-pappa..."Lucci and the other three understood and attacked Fukurou.Lucci and Kalifa kicked.Kaku elbowed.Blueno punched.Satoru finished with a flying kick.Satoru?"I see you're having a lot of fun fighting. This is the legendary Six Powers special technique, 'Waiting State,' where you judge Doriki strength by taking the opponent's blows.""Right?""I want to test it too.""That's right."Spandam nodded, thinking that Satoru even knew this. He truly was Garp's man."I knew you couldn't hold it in, Fukurou."Kalifa said, explaining the blows.Although Fukurou was kicked down, he instantly flipped back up, completely unaffected."Six Powers [Play Technique] · Te-awase.""If a Soldier with a weapon has a Doriki value of 10, then your Doriki is...""I'm going to reveal your true strength.""I know how strong you all are.""Kalifa, 630 Doriki.""Blueno, 820 Doriki.""Kaku, 2200 Doriki.""Lucci, 4000 Doriki!!"When the value of 4000 was spoken, Jabra was the most surprised."4000 Doriki!! Hey!! Are you kidding me? I've never heard of such a high Doriki!!""It's true! Everyone has gotten stronger, chappa-pappa!!""Jabra, Kumadori, and my own have all been tested. The rankings are as follows."First place: Lucci, 4000 DorikiSecond place: Kaku, 2200 DorikiThird place: Jabra, 2180 DorikiFourth place: Blueno, 820 DorikiFifth place: Kumadori, 810 DorikiSixth place: Fukurou, 800 DorikiSeventh place: Kalifa, 620 Doriki"I protest!! Lucci is one thing, but why is Kaku higher than me too!!"Jabra disagreed again.Fukurou said, "Kaku has also gotten stronger.""What about me? Why was I forgotten?"Satoru spoke up."Oh, that extra kick just now was from you.""I thought the officer had become so strong. The Doriki is..."Fukurou suddenly realized, then felt the kick Satorudelivered again."2181 Doriki!""What!!"Kalifa, Blueno, Kumadori, and those below Satoruwere all somewhat surprised.But the most surprised was Jabra, "1 point? Only 1 point more than me!! What a joke!!!"Fukurou, however, was very certain, "Chappa-pappa, the value is correct. This Marine undercover agent's strength is not weak either.""I don't believe it!!"Satoru responded with a smile, "Mr. Lucci is the strongest."Kaku, however, cast a suspicious glance. After all, on the sea train, Satoru, even with seastone handcuffs, could block his kick. Was Satoru's Doriki really only 2181 points?The truth was as Kaku suspected. Armament Haki is about controlling physical strength. As long as one masters Armament Haki, one can precisely control their power. Combined with having taken Jabra's kick, Satoru had delivered this 2181 Doriki kick
WTR-LABI'm in One Piece, I'm Luffy's Childhood FriendCh. 483 / 210522.95%WebWeb+AI#483They have such a good relationship.Chapter 481: Such Good Friends"I refuse to accept this!!"Jabra looked up and roared his refusal to accept it, seeing that Kaku's Doriki was 2200 points and Satoru's Doriki was 2181 points—both higher than his own."Kaku, and you, the Long-Haired, effeminate-looking Marine infiltrator!!""A simple hand-to-hand fight is only a test of physical skill level!!""When I fight for real, I add the power of my Devil Fruit. It's impossible for me to lose to either of you.""You both better remember that."Satoru certainly wouldn't just sit there and be insulted. "Got it, 2180 points."He clearly said 'got it,' but instead of using a name, he only used the Doriki score—it was utterly mocking."You bastard!!"Jabra gnashed his teeth.Kaku, however, was indifferent. "Oh, suit yourself. I don't care anyway.""Exactly. It's best to ignore the words of a mad dog."Lucci spoke up.Jabra was already angry, and now he was furious. "Bastard, who are you calling a mad dog?! You freak cat!!"The two were instantly hostile, their shadows projected onto the ground transforming into the silhouettes of a leopard and a wolf."What wonderful camaraderie."Satoru said, pouring himself a cup of tea, looking quite comfortable.Spandam could tell the remark was sarcastic, but he didn't dare interrupt them. If either of them lost their temper and struck out, he'd be wiped out."Hey, hey, you two stop it."Kalifa intervened.Kaku was puzzled. "Why is Jabra so hot-tempered today?""The Soldiers on the island are discussing how Jabrawas dumped by Catherine from the cafeteria yesterday."Fukurou said. When it came to gossip, his mouth would never close, even though it had a zipper."No wonder."Blueno wore an expression that said,'So that's it.'Fukurou's words instantly snapped Jabra back to attention."What?! How do they know?!"Fukurou felt a little guilty."I told them, Chapapa...""You bastard!! What is the zipper on your mouth even for!!""Alright, alright. You just met and you're already fighting. After training in the Six Powers, all of you are Supermen with Doriki exceeding 500."Spandam stepped in to mediate. After all, he really couldn't let them fight, especially since Satoru was present; if they fought, it would be a complete joke."The Commander's Doriki is [Nine]."Fukurou undermined him again."Bastard!! I'm the Commander, so it doesn't matter!! Besides, I have a hidden sword!""We've always known you were weak, Commander."Kalifa delivered the finishing blow."Hey! Can you be a little more tactful when you speak, Kalifa?""That is sexual harassment.""I was just answering your question!""That is sexual harassment."Spandam was completely stumped.Kumadori jumped out again."Kalifa, you are truly impolite!!""Commander, this... this... I must commit seppuku!!""Seppuku! Iron Body!!"Kumadori turned his Metal Staff toward his own stomach and stabbed down, simultaneously activating Iron Body.Truly, he wanted to die, yet he didn't dare."I... I can't die. Perhaps my mother's spirit in heaven won't let me."Kumadori looked very dejected.Jabra couldn't stand his hypocrisy. "Just hurry up and die already!!"Watching this group of various "Level Bosses," Satoru found it highly amusing. (Every single one of them had some screws loose.)"If you don't mind, I can act as your Second."Satoru said.A Second is someone who assists the person committing seppuku by killing them afterward to minimize their suffering.Kumadori replied, "Yo-yo-hee!! No need! Since the suicide attempt failed, it must be my mother's blessing. I won't kill myself, I won't kill myself."Satoru smiled back, thinking, 'You better not.' Moreover, Satoru remembered that this guy's mother was introduced as still being alive. What a filial son."Alright, alright.""In any case, you've all worked hard these past five years. I have something to give you shortly, but first, let's meet the [Hope] of the world."Spandam took out two Devil Fruits. If he hadn't needed to keep up appearances, Satoru would have wanted to snatch them immediately, but realizing they weren't particularly powerful fruits, he decided the bigger picture was more important.The [Hope] of the world, according to Spandam, naturally referred to Robin and Franky, the keys to activating the ancient weapons... The door opened, and Robin and Franky were led into Spandam's office by two Soldiers.The two Soldiers did not follow them inside; instead, they closed the door and stood guard on either side.In front of Robin and Franky was not the lounge area with two sofas and a table.It was behind the lounge area.The office's discussion area.Directly opposite Robin and Franky was Spandam's desk. Spandam was sitting directly on the desk, and to the right of the desk was an Elephant.In front of the desk, there were seven individual sofas on the left and seven on the right, where the seven members of CP9 were seated.Satoru was still sitting on the sofa in the lounge area. Robin glanced over and only saw the back of his head."Wahahaha!!""This is absolutely exhilarating!!"Spandam laughed loudly while looking at the two, and then proceeded to talk nonsense.He rambled about Franky still being alive and Robinfinally being captured, and how everything they were doing was for the world, claiming it was noble."Anyone who gets in our way should be killed!! This is for the sake of peace!!""And that Fishman!! If he doesn't hand over what we need obediently, he is obstructing Justice! He deserves to be executed!!"Spandam was naturally referring to Franky and Iceburg's master, the Shipwright, Fishman Tom.Franky naturally couldn't stand it. "Mr. Tom risked his life to protect those blueprints precisely to prevent them from falling into the hands of people like you!!"Franky lunged forward and bit Spandam's head. He only had his hands and feet tied, not his teeth.
Chapter 482: The Flying rocket manOutside, Luffy alone attacked the courthouse of Enies Lobby's main island.When the communication soldier was about to report casualties of at least over 500, just as '5' left his mouth, he was knocked unconscious by a falling rock.But to Spandam, listening on the den den mushi, it sounded like only 5 casualties, making him incredibly smug.However, what he didn't know was that, let alone 5, Luffy continued his assault, and the casualties were already far more than 500... Luffy charged in alone.Everyone else behind him was also catching up.The front island primarily served as the first main gate, heavily guarded by soldiers. With the efforts of the shipwrights and the Franky Family, two giant Blueno, Sodom & Gomorrah, pushed it open.Exactly five minutes passed, and the rocket man, carrying the remaining members of the Straw Hat Pirates, began its charge.Zoro was still on the front of the train, responsible for cutting through the iron fence."What is that? A sea train?""It's Straw Hat's comrades!!""Quick, close the gate."However, there were too many guards on Enies Lobby. Even though the gate was pushed open, the guards who spotted Zoro and the others immediately closed it.Zoro saw this and could only shout, "Kokoro!""Ah?!""He said the plan has changed, everyone hold on tight."Kokoro relayed Zoro's words.These words carried an ominous premonition."They can't get through the iron fence!!""Close it quickly! Close the main gate!!""Eh! What is that frog trying to do?"The guards, who had closed the gate to a mere slit, saw Yokozuna crouched in front of the rocket man's engine, pushing the iron fence bent with one palm.Then, they saw the rocket man drive up the bent iron fence, directly taking to the air and flying."What!!""It's flying!!"Inside the train car, Sanji and the others immediately felt a sudden sense of weightlessness and quickly grabbed onto something.The rocket man flew into the air, directly soaring over the main gate.At this moment, the people inside the gate had just defeated the giant Oimo and were standing on his back, enjoying the glory of victory.Then Pauly's shoulder was pierced by the captain of the Judicial Hound Unit.The Judicial Hound Unit is a guard force that rides on police dogs, a first-class guard unit of Enies Lobby."Damn it!!"In the world of pirates, a pierced shoulder is a mere minor injury, not worth mentioning.Pauly swung his fist at the Judicial Hound Unit, who immediately retreated, introducing themselves and stabbing the unconscious Oimo awake.Oimo woke up and immediately stood up. Pauly and the others, seeing this, got off Oimo's back.And Oimo himself was very angry."I won't let you bastards off!!"Then the flying rocket man just happened to smash onto his back.He had just gotten up, and now he was lying down again.The guards of Enies Lobby, the Judicial Hound Unit, and Pauly and his group were all so startled their eyes bulged.Pauly and the others couldn't help but complain."The rocket man flew over from above!?""Then what was the point of us going to all that trouble to open the gate!!""What's happening?"The captain of the Judicial Hound Unit was confused.And at this moment, on the left side of the formation, or rather, among the crowd, people were falling one by one."What's going on over there?!"The smoke dispersed.Zoro and Sanji appeared, with fallen guards all around them, naturally their handiwork."Look! I know that swordsman, he's Straw HatLuffy's subordinate, Roronoa Zoro!"The guards recognized Zoro, after all, he was worth 60 million Berries now."Hey, did you hear that? They said you're a subordinate!"Sanji said with a mocking tone.Zoro replied calmly, "That's still better than you, an unknown pirate A.""What did you say!!""Then pirate B."It looked like the two were about to fight.Usopp quickly reminded them, "You two stop fighting right now."But his voice was so loud it was as if his vocal cords were left at home."Sniper King, your voice is so soft."Chopper said.But because of this, they were discovered by the guards."Look, there are people next to the sea train, they must be their accomplices! Fire! Fire!"Cannonballs were fired, and Usopp and Chopperwere so scared they immediately dodged.But just as the cannonballs were about to hit the train, they were kicked away, landing among the guards and blowing them up."Oh dear, cannonballs are very dangerous things.""There are innocent citizens here."Forest Mask Bai Yun appeared again, leisurely walking out of the train door, pointing at the top of the train.(Meanwhile, on a certain island, Ace was running at full speed. Satoru appeared from his hat and just happened to grab his back, making Ace run with him carrying him."You're back, Satoru! What happened? Why did you disappear all night?"Satoru didn't answer first, but looked at the person chasing him, who wasn't wearing a chef's uniform, and then considered the time."Did you just come out of the hotel?""Hahaha, that's right.")Back on Enies Lobby.On top of the train that Forest Mask Bai Yun pointed to were Kokoro and her granddaughter Timney, as well as the cat-rabbit Kunbei. They were waving."Stop! Can't you see there are old people, children, and small animals?""Don't hit us!!""Meow meow.""I am the sea train driver hijacked by Straw HatLuffy."Zambai and the others watched, unable to help but comment, "Is there such a drunken hostage?""Also, isn't that the wish spirit?""Why is he here?"Among the Franky Family, Forest Mask Bai Yun was still the wish spirit.They recognized Usopp for some reason, but not Satoru."That was close, we almost killed the hostage!""Using children and old people as hostages, they really are despicable pirates!""Also, who are you?""I'm just here for sightseeing!""Sight...seeing?"This answer stumped the guards. Sightseeing here? Did I mishear, or are you crazy?Forest Mask Bai Yun ignored them, "You guys keep pushing through, I'm going to help Luffy!"Zoro and Sanji nodded in response.Forest Mask Bai Yun then flew through the air towards the interior of Enies Lobby."He... he flew away!!""Quick!! Shoot him down!!"But at this moment, black clouds drifted over, covering their vision."What is this?"The clouds were seen drifting from Nami's clima-tact."Hot air bubbles and cold air bubbles mix, converting water molecules in the atmosphere into clouds.""This perfected clima-tact is indeed extraordinary."Nami was very satisfied looking at the thunderclouds she created."The speed and scale are vastly different from before!""Then let me try the power of lightning!!""Thunderbolt Tempo!!"Nami used her clima-tact to create "electric bubbles," striking them towards the thunderclouds, imbuing the clouds with electrical energy, instantly generating a powerful lightning strike that came down.A large group of guards were instantly electrocuted, their bones momentarily visible.Nami was almost struck too, crying out in fear and immediately dodging backward.After seeing Usopp, she immediately gave him a clima-tact."This thing doesn't distinguish between friend and foe at all!!""Sniper King!!""Nami, why are you hitting Sniper King!!"Chopper was confused because he didn't know Sniper King was Usopp."A little hit won't do anything."Nami rested the clima-tact on her shoulder.Usopp clutched his head, "Don't shift the blame to me, it's your improper use. Usopp also said he didn't design this ability.""However, it's truly powerful, taking out so many people at once."Yes, Usopp was right, many people, but that also included Zoro and Sanji.
Chapter 483: You can kick him however you want, he's durableOutside, Forest Mask Bai Yun appeared again. Being able to fly made things easy; he decided to catch up to Luffy first to help him.The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates also gathered at the main gate and rode Blueno to attack inward.After Pauly asked Zoro to tell Lucci that they were fired, he stayed behind with Davy Jones and Pepporone.The three blocked the Judicial Dogs Squad plus some guards.Zoro and the others continued forward. As Paulysaid, they were the main force against CP9 and shouldn't waste their strength here.Blueno was very fast. After passing through the main gate of Enies Lobby, it went straight through a narrow passage, reaching the Second Main Gate floating above the waterfall. Passing through the Second Main Gate (the Main Island Front Gate) leads to the Main Island. The narrow corridor leading to the Main Island and the Main Island itself are completely suspended over the abyss of a giant waterfall. Everyone is now on their way to the Second Main Gate... Back in Spandam's office.Franky bit Spandam. Although CP9 didn't like Spandam as their superior, they couldn't just stand by."Yo-yo-ee!!"Kumadori struck, hitting Franky's back with his Metal Staff. Franky cried out in pain, released Spandam, and collapsed onto the floor.Meanwhile, Satoru was still drinking tea and eating fruit in the resting area.He thought.I didn't expect Xiaobai to sense Aokiji approaching. In the original history, was Aokiji perhaps watching in secret but didn't intervene?Regardless, he must not be allowed to come. His intervention would be a dimensional strike against Luffy and the others right now. I hope Xiaobai can stop him... Hmm... Outside, Luffy has also reached the Courthouse, and Zoro and the others are heading toward the Second Main Gate.The show is about to begin... Spandam, now free, stepped on Franky's head to vent his frustration. He basically said he never expected Franky to be alive, and if he had known, they wouldn't have gone through so much trouble, as his previous crimes were enough to execute him.He called Franky foolish, but praised Iceberg as smart. Although their Master died at the hands of the World Government, Iceberg managed to integrate Water Seven's shipyards and start a company, making it the World Government's exclusive shipyard.This way, even though Spandam knew Iceberg possessed the Blueprints, it was difficult to take action against him.Spandam's words made Franky realize he had misunderstood Iceberg. Iceberg's decision to help the murderers of their Master build ships, all in order to protect the Blueprints, must have been agonizing for him."Wahaha!! He's very smart.""But the scales eventually tipped in our favor.""Just when I was losing patience and preparing to take drastic measures,""Admiral Aokiji brought me good news.""The Straw Hat Pirates, carrying the criminal Nico Robin, were sailing toward Water Seven.""So I devised a plan conditioned on the Buster Call. Although the plot has deviated somewhat, look, aren't the two keys to activating the ancient weapons standing right here obediently?""I'm incredibly excited right now!! Because I now possess the power to control an entire nation at any moment!!!"Spandam shouted proudly. Satoru only found it grating; with Spandam's character, he was destined never to achieve anything great.Looking at Spandam, who seemed like an idiot bordering on madness, Robin couldn't help but ask."Why did Aokiji give you the authority to summon a Buster Call?"Hearing this, Spandam punched Robin down.At the same time, a slight cracking sound came from Satoru's direction—his Teacup had cracked.Lucci noticed this but said nothing.Satoru internally calmed himself: Sister Robin's trauma is the greatest; endure, endure!"How dare you question me, you insolent woman!!""You surviving spawn of Ohara, if I didn't think you still had value, your existence would be meaningless!!""You should be thanking me!!""Furthermore, from now on, you will face torture that makes death impossible!""Prepare yourself mentally!!""Torturing you, using you, and finally throwing you into the sea to feed the fish—that is your sin!!""Wahaha!! Oh right, there was also a guy who tried to save you just now."Spandam mentioned Luffy and gloated that the casualties were only 5."It's perfect! We'll capture them all and take them straight to Impel Down!!"Hearing this, Robin couldn't tolerate it anymore. She could die, but Luffy and the others could not!!"No!! Wait!! You're breaking your word! Didn't you say that as long as I did what you told me, you would guarantee their safety!!""Why are you screaming hysterically?""I guaranteed their safe departure from Water Seven.""Exactly! Didn't they safely leave Water Seven and come right here?"Spandam was playing Word Games, but Lucci had indeed told Robin that."What did you say? Did you intend to play Word Games from the start?!"Franky was also full of contempt. "You absolute pieces of shit, you have no honor whatsoever!!""What did you say!?"Having been insulted, Spandam raised his foot to stomp down. Just then, a wave of Killing Intent rushed toward him, terrifying Spandam so much that goosebumps covered him from head to toe, and he froze.Looking to the left, the Killing Intent naturally came from Satoru, who had stood up and was looking their way.But Satoru was outwardly smiling.Lucci was secretly on guard. He was now very curious about Satoru's true strength."Ultimately, I am still Robin's comrade, even though I am an infiltrator.""My mission isn't over until you've completely captured the Straw Hat Pirates.""I'm very committed to my role, superior of CP9.""As I said before, you have your mission, and I have mine.""Don't go too far. They'll be locked up in Impel Down and tortured sooner or later anyway."Satoru's words stunned Robin and Franky."What do you mean, Long-Haired Man?!!""Are you the same as those damned Pigeon-fanciers? An infiltrator!!?"Franky questioned him loudly, disbelief evident.Satoru looked at him. "However, this Big Iron Man is not my comrade. You can kick him however you want; he's durable."Franky's eyes widened. "What!!!"
Chapter 484: Until DeathSatoru endured Spandam's first punch against Robin, but he couldn't endure the second and stood up.He just wanted to resolve Robin's emotional knot and also wanted Luffy and the others to gain experience from the CP9 members.But that didn't mean he could just stand by and watch his comrades get beaten and kicked.With a murderous glare, Satoru indicated that he was very much in character right now. Before Spandam dealt with the Straw Hat Pirates, he was still an undercover comrade of the Straw Hat Pirates. How could he beat his comrades right in front of him? That wasn't appropriate, was it?Spandam felt a strange thought arise in his heart: 'You're a Marine undercover agent, but you've developed feelings for a pirate undercover agent, haven't you?''If it weren't for the fact that you're Garp's subordinate, who would even bother with you?!'Spandam thought to himself that Franky had directly stated that he was disgusted by the word 'undercover agent'.He loudly questioned Satoru, asking if he was also an undercover agent like Lucci and those other bastards?That bastard Long-Haired Man.So, Satoru glanced at him and said,"However, this big iron man is not my comrade yet, so you can kick him as much as you want. He's durable."Franky's eyes widened in disbelief, "What!!!"Spandam immediately kicked him in the mouth, "Shut up!! You're too noisy!!""You're right, Satoru.""Anyway, the torture they'll receive later will be much more painful than these few punches and kicks of mine.""You, take those two and lock them up over there.""Nico Robin's seastone handcuffs must not be removed. For Flam... oh no, now he should be called Franky, wrap more chains around him."At this critical juncture, Spandam still gave Satorusome face. Once Pluton reappeared, let alone Satoru, he wouldn't even give Garp any face.Satoru knew his thoughts, he could guess them. Even if Pluton reappeared, it wouldn't be in your idiotic hands. Keep dreaming, you idiot!!At this moment, Blueno quietly asked Fukurou, "Have the Straw Hat Pirates appeared?"Fukurou answered everything, "Yes, chapapapa, there was a call just now. It's a mess, even the officers feel ashamed.""However, the casualties are only 5..."Blueno looked at the den den mushi and saw that its receiver had fallen off. This was why the communication soldier on the battlefield couldn't get through.Forget 5, by now, the casualties are probably in the thousands."Once the ships to Impel Down are ready for them, send them to the Gate of Justice immediately.""CP9 will temporarily return to their rooms to rest. After this matter is successfully completed, our CP9's status will greatly improve!!""Then we'll raise our glasses and celebrate properly!!"Lucci stood up and replied, "We may not be in the mood to raise our glasses and celebrate. We have no interest in power and status.""We exist for the World Government. As long as the World Government wants you to be our commander, then we must perfectly complete our mission, but this does not mean that we will agree with your ideas."Spandam knew he couldn't provoke them, "You're right. So, what do you pursue?"Lucci turned his head, revealing half of his face transformed into a leopard-man."It's blood!!""Because killing here is legal..."Spandam was startled, both scared and relieved that he was their commander. He was truly fortunate to have such a group of crazy subordinates. With them, he had nothing to fear.Lucci turned his head back, reverted to his original form, and met Satoru's gaze. Satoru returned a smile."Killing is legal, what a satisfying thing.""However, you need to have enough strength, otherwise, one day you will hit a wall.""Since you like killing, you must also be prepared to be killed.""I am very confident in my own strength."Lucci replied, then prepared to leave."Wait, don't forget this."Spandam threw the Devil Fruits to Kaku and Kalifa.Jabra, seeing this, immediately backed away in fright."Ah ah ah ah ah!! Isn't that a Devil Fruit!!!""Don't come near me with that."Kaku was puzzled, "Why are you reacting so strongly, Jabra?""Idiot! Don't you know?""There's a devil hidden inside every devil fruit user. If I get close to another fruit, the other devil in that fruit will appear and fight with the devil inside me, making me explode into smithereens!!!""Ha!!"At this moment, Satoru suddenly appeared behind Jabra and shouted, "Ha!"Jabra was so scared that his braids stood on end."Ah!!!""Hahahahahaha!!"Satoru almost died laughing. This guy was a killer? He was just an idiot."You bastard Marine undercover agent!!!"Jabra gritted his teeth in anger, about to make a move.Blueno spoke up."Fool, you're an intelligence officer, yet you believe these street rumors.""Scientists on the Grand Line have already figured out the conditions for ability transfer. What you're talking about is eating two devil fruits, which indeed makes a person explode into oblivion.""This is the retribution for insatiable greed. Eating one devil fruit already carries great risks, let alone eating two."Lucci added.Taking this opportunity, Blueno cast an inquiring glance at him.Lucci nodded slightly, and Blueno flashed and disappeared, naturally going to deal with Luffy—oh no, to deliver experience."Really?""However, commander, you actually have two Devil Fruits. Where did you get them?"Satoru had to admit that although Spandam was stupid, he was a decent leader. A leader who wasn't afraid and would bring out real things was, of course, good."I have my ways. Eat them, for the upcoming battles.""However, let me warn you, I don't know what abilities these two Devil Fruits possess."...Satoru personally tied Robin and Franky to the wall to Spandam's left.Then he walked to the window and just happened to see Luffy climbing to the top floor of the courthouse."That must be the last building.""But there's no way to walk over there."Standing on a protrusion at the edge of the rooftop, Luffy gazed at the Tower of Justice opposite and, with sharp eyes, spotted Satoru in the window across the way.Just as he smiled and was about to greet him, Blueno appeared with his Air Door."Air Door.""What is this?"Luffy was puzzled, but when Brook emerged from the door, he immediately recognized him."You're the ox that was with the pigeon guy!!!"Luffy found Blueno's "spatial movement" very cool, buddy."How did you do that!? That's amazing, is it magic?"Blueno ignored Luffy and looked past him. Explosions erupted, and people lay scattered on the ground."Indeed, the information was greatly inaccurate. I don't believe the casualties are only 5.""However, it really startled me. It's unprecedented in the history of the World Government that someone could break into the government's main gate.""How long do you plan to cause trouble?"Blueno asked grimly.Luffy, however, showed a determined look."Until death."
