To those who have not read One Piece and know almost nothing about it: Were you surprised by the identities of the CP9? There are a total of 9 members, and these are only 4 of them. The rest will appear in the future.

Chapter 10: The Shocking Truth! The CP9's True Intention's Revealed!


Lucci, Kaku, Califa, Blueno, and Samus stand before the shocked Otacon, for he cannot accept the truth before his eyes. "You guys work for the government all along!" he gasps.

"Yes we have," says Lucci. "For 4 years we have been disguising as workers here. Though I am not your student any longer, I still want to say one last thing to you. Thank you for all that you have taught me during those years. I appreciate your great engineering skills."

"Yes, you taught me a lot too, Otacon," says Kaku.

"It was fun being with you," says Califa.

"But our time for the mission is up," says Blueno. "We cannot act like this forever."

"Surely you have heard of CP1 through 8, right?" asks Lucci

"Yes, but not 9," replies Otacon.

"We are from the ninth, and we always do missions in secret and even our identities are kept from letting the outside world know. We are given orders from the government to kill anyone who does not agree with them."

"That's cruel! How can they be so selfish?"

"Justice has to be cruel at times. Now let's go to our main topic," says Lucci, as he holds up the fake blueprint. "As Meta-Knight told us, this blueprint is a fake one. I assume you that you hold the real one yourself, right?"

"Why would the government want the Armageddon?" asks Otacon. "They are supposed to ban the use of it!"

"While it is true they fear the power of the Armageddon, but that was in the past. The mastermind of the government, Big Brother, has come to a different decision."

"No matter what his decision is, it's not anything good for sure!"

"Listen to what I have to say first. Big Brother thought that instead of fearing and banning the usage of the Armageddon since it's so powerful, why not use it to destroy the evil of the world instead? That way, peace can easily be enforced throughout the entire world."

"That's a BS! There is no way such a dangerous weapon can bring peace! Whether a good person or a bad person uses it, in the end the world will only be destroyed due to the destructiveness of the Armageddon!"

"Looks like you do no have trust the government, Otacon. The government always thinks the right stuff; they care for the world, and they are doing something to help the world. Now we have Samus, the only person as of now to know where every single piece of the weapon is, with us. Now the government only needs the blueprint to know how to reassemble it, and you have it. They have asked for it nicely from you many times, but you keep on rejecting them. By doing this, you are saying 'no' to the entire world. Think of the poor and suffering people out there who are tortured by evil. They rely on the government. The government wants to save the people. Are you happy living in this terrible and cruel world? Don't you want to live in a happy world?"

"It's not that I don't want to live in a happy world, but it's because I know the true nature of humans, you brat!"

Hearing this, Lucci kicks Otacon in the face.

KICK!

"YEOW!"

"Go check his pulse, Kaku," Lucci orders him.

"Yes." And Kaku goes over and holds Otacon by the hand and feels his pulse. "Don't move now, Otacon."

"If you refuse to speak the truth, Otacon, then your blood will let us know the truth," says Lucci, and then he holds up the fake blueprint and opens it. "As said earlier, this blueprint is fake. But after a bit of inspection, we saw that there are words written on it, and it appears to be signatures.

"…" That was Otacon.

"We tried to decipher these blurry words, and we can make it out pretty clearly what these names are. The names are as follows: Worker Hand, Hal Emmerich, and John Doe."

"…"

"We know about the legendary engineer Worker Hand, who once lived in this city and is well known for the invention of the one and only Sky Liner, the world's only flying ocean liner. We also found out that he has 2 disciples."

"…"

"Surely you were one of his disciples, as your real name is Hal Emmerich. Now Worker Hand used to have the blueprint in his inventory, and he, too, fears that it would fall into wrong hands. He guarded it with all his life and would only pass it down to his most trusted disciple, and that would be you, Otacon."

"…"

"The second disciple, John Doe, is confirmed dead by the government when he was caught in a bomb accident. Therefore, he is out of question and surely you have taken the blueprint. Yet, you denied the fact that you have it and refuse to show it to anyone, and even making a fake one to fool people with.

Otacon begins to feel a bit nervous.

"It can be either you are lying and you actually have it, or you really don't have it. If you do not have it, then you must've passed it down to someone else already."

Otacon gets more and more nervous on hearing this.

"But you would only pass the blueprint down through the line of Worker Hand's disciples, or your most trusted worker. Meta-Knight is your favorite engineer among us, so naturally you would pass it down to him, but you didn't. John Doe is dead, so who might you passed it down to?

"…"

"But we just remembered one thing, and it was as if it happened all by chance. In fact, we must be very lucky for that to happen. 4 years ago, a certain man once came here to meet you, and he mentioned his name only once."

"Yes, I remember," says Califa.

"So do I," says Kaku.

"Because that man mentioned his name, we have every reason to believe that John Doe is still alive," says Lucci, "and is still living in Great Tech City even as we speak."

Otacon begins feel even more nervous.

"And now John Doe lives under the name…"

Otacon got even more nervous.

"Solid Snake!"

Otacon begins to tremble violently and his blood pulse increases. "Your pulse is acting very fast," says Kaku.

"That means we have hit the bull's eye," says Lucci. "So it is without doubt you passed the blueprint down to Solid Snake. We always thought of him as nothing but a hoodlum, but we never thought he would be the one holding what we are looking for."

"You… What do you want with him!" asks Otacon angrily.

"Getting the blueprint from him," replies Lucci. "Now that we know the truth, you have no more value. In the name of justice, we shall end your life here."

-

Captain Falcon is trying his best to free himself from the pins. "Nggh! Ugh!" After much struggling, he finally freed his arm, and then every part of his body. "Yes! I'm free!"

"Now get these off me too!" says Meta-Knight.

-

Mario and the 2 Pokemon are still being chased by Pix and Pork, who are still in their cursed forms. "They won't stop following us!" cries Pichu.

They run pass the kitchen, and the two farm animals run in there and splash themselves with hot water from a kettle, and they turn back to normal. "Now you're not getting away!" says Pix.

-

Marth is still running from Punk too. "I must get to Otacon's room no matter what!" thought Marth, and at this moment, Mario and the 2 Pokemon show up besides him. "Hey guys!"

"Where eez Falcon?" asks Mario.

"I don't know! But I see a door there! That is without doubt Otacon's room!"

"Yes! We found it at last!" exclaims Pikachu.

"We will not allow you to harm him!" says Punk as he reunites with his partners and continues chasing them.

-

SMASH!

CF smashes right through the wall and into another room. "Where are they?"

"It's in the room next to this one!" says Meta-Knight.

"Then I'll break through it!"

-

Lucci slowly approaches Otacon and readies to kill him. "In the name of justice, die!"

Suddenly, the wall bursts open and Captain Falcon and Meta-Knight comes running in. Simultaneously, the door bursts open and Marth, Mario, the 2 Pokemon, and the 3 Space Pirates come running in.

"I'M HERE TO BEAT YOU GUYS UP!" shouts CF.

"Tsk… Such a hindrance…" says Lucci.


TO BE CONTINUED…

Very shocking truth indeed, eh? You never thought Snake would be involved in all of this, would you?

I tried to research for Snake's real name, but could never find it. However, I looked up Naked Snake's bio and found out that his real name is Jack. I also found out that he sometimes refers to himself as John Doe in Metal Gear Solid 3, but that isn't his real name. So I decided to use John Doe as Solid Snake's real name here, even though it's not official.
