" He's there. "
"Catch him."
Running at full speed, Luffy tried to escape the numerous soldiers chasing him through Enies Lobby, while he tried to make his way towards the massive Justice Tower that could be seen in the distance.
"Wait for me, Robin."
But while he was running all over the city, Luffy didn't see the many silhouettes that were hidden and which ended up satisfying Zero.
Continuing to smile at each other, Zero and Light were in the middle of a chess game. However, it had been a few minutes since any of them had moved a single pawn.
"Light-san…I think it's your turn."
"Let's see, there's no reason to rush, Zero-san! Besides, I find your way of playing quite original."
" What do you mean ? "
Pointing to his own king, Light showed that he had not moved it since the start of the game and adopted a defensive style of play in order to protect his pawn. On the contrary, Zero had moved his king and queen quite quickly and adopted a much more offensive style of play.
"Normally, the king is the most important pawn." Light affirmed. "It is therefore obvious to protect it, even if that forces me to sacrifice certain pawns! No one can win anything without being obliged to sacrifice something."
"I understand what you mean." Zero assured. "However, a king is like a leader! And the objective of a leader is not only to be protected! He must know how to participate in combat to motivate the people who follow him! A leader who doesn't know how to do anything 'other than hiding will never get any respect from his men.'
" You are right. "
However, despite his smile, Light wanted to curse Zero. Watching the play, Light noticed that his defensive line was having difficulty countering Light's offenses. However, compared to his king, Zero's was much more vulnerable. It only took one successful counterattack for Light to win the game.
For his part, Zero understood the same thing. Usually, against a normal player, he would have won a long time ago. However, his first offensives had been a failure and Light's defense was still there, even if it had been deteriorated. He knew that just one good offensive would allow him to win. But what would he do if Light suddenly decided to abandon his defensive style in order to counterattack?
Playing slower and slower, both players tried to trap the other while the winner of this game was far from being decided. Concentrating more, they spoke less and less, until silence could reign in the room.
Soon, only chewing sounds were heard. Eating a slice of pizza, CC watched the two boys compete, just like Ryuk who bit into an apple. Starting to speak again, Light declared.
"I find your friend's chewing noises a bit annoying! It's not very polite to eat during a game of chess."
"I could say the same about your comrade." Zero assured. "The noises he makes prevent me from concentrating completely."
"It's impossible to be more bad faith than your human." Ryuk remarked, continuing to eat.
"Your human is also concerned by this." CC affirmed, imitating him.
Suddenly, a den-den mushi was heard. Almost feeling like not responding, before winning this chess game, Zero had to resign himself and grabbed the object.
" I listen. "
"Zero!" Kallen called. " We have a problem. "
Seeing Luffy herself running in the city, the young woman affirmed.
"Monkey D. Luffy is in the city center! He seems to be heading to where Nico Robin is."
"Oh, really?" Zero said.
Suddenly his den-den mushi picked up another call.
" Zero, it's Tohdoh." The man affirmed. "According to our latest information, the main gate of Enies Lobby was attacked and opened! A group of intruders rushed towards the second gate! I sent my men to help Oimo and Kashii push them back! However, I doubt these intruders are the only ones who want to attack us. "
"Have no fear." Zero assured. "This was all planned! Just follow my instructions and everything will be fine."
Then stopping the call, Zero apologized to Light.
"It looks like we'll have to finish our game later."
"Are you in trouble?" Light asked.
"No! Let's just say I started another game of chess against a pirate."
Suddenly, heading towards a huge den-den mushi that was in the room, Zero lit it. Immediately, dozens of screens appeared on a wall, showing images of Enies Lobby. On some of these screens, several soldiers were organizing themselves and chasing Luffy.
On another screen, Zero saw the carnage taking place in front of the second door, while the giants and the men of Tohdoh massacred the Franky Family. And finally, a final screen showed the Rocketman circling the island.
"Interesting! Looks like things are getting fun."
Grabbing his den-den mushi, he contacted Ohgi.
"Ohgi! I think it's time to begin the beginning of our plan."
In front of the second door
Being on the ground, one of the members of the Franky Family had great difficulty getting up.
"Damn it! It's impossible to defeat them! These guys are way too strong for us."
Being laughing, Oimo and Kashii had defeated the Kairiki Destroyers in two seconds. As for the rest of the Franky Family, they had been completely exterminated by the burais.
"It was planned in advance." Asahina affirmed.
Suddenly, Oimo's club hit the ground near his Knightmare.
"Hey, why did you get involved in this?" the giant growled. "We didn't ask you anything."
"He's right." Kashii said. "Having help crush ants is a dishonor for warriors like us."
"Tssss! If you had been more serious, we wouldn't have needed to intervene." Chiba retorted. "But while you were napping, an intruder managed to get inside Enies Lobby."
" What ? "
Suddenly, a tremor was felt.
" Huh ? "
Heading towards the giants, Sodom and Gomorrah managed to roll on earth. Being on their backs, Zambe ordered.
"Take down these giants."
Immediately, the two huge creatures bit or shoved Kashii. Surprised, the man lost his balance and crashed against the second door.
"Kashii? " His friend was surprised.
"Finish him off."
Leaving behind the King Bulls, Paulie and his companions rushed towards Kashii's face, in order to immobilize him.
"Quick! We have to stop him so he can get up."
"Let me go." Kashii ordered, as he tried to force Sodom and Gomorrah back.
"I'm coming to help you." Oimo assured, raising his club.
"BAKAYARO!" Chiba shouted, understanding what he was going to do. "STOP!"
Too late. Bringing down his club with all his might to crush Tilestone and Lulu, Oimo didn't see them jump out of Kashii's face. And it was because of this that the giant felt his comrade's weapon hit him in the face with enough force to knock him out.
" Kashii ? " Cried Oimo.
Seeing the giant lose consciousness, Senba couldn't help but grumble.
"Stupid as a giant…that should be a phrase in the dictionary."
Seeing that one of the giants was defeated, the Franky Family found hope. Nevertheless, Sodom suddenly uttered a cry of pain, while a wound appeared on his face.
While his burai had a sword in hand, Uraba stated.
"Just because you defeated one of those giants doesn't mean you won this fight."
Stopping clapping, his opponents saw the Four Holy Swords brandishing sabers in their direction.
"As long as Black Knights are fit to fight, you will never pass through this door." The quartet assured.
"Get out of my way." Luffy ordered. " GATLING !"
Hit multiple times, soldiers flew through the air, before crashing to the ground.
"AHHHHH! Who is this guy?" Asks a soldier.
"No one is capable of stopping him." A second soldier replied.
"We need to warn Oimo and Kashii."
"They are busy defending the second main gate."
"Is this a joke?"
Then, other soldiers fell to the ground, while Luffy had just knocked them out.
"He beat at least 400."
"No, he knocked out 500 soldiers! We must warn Spandam-san."
But before contacting any person, the two soldiers saw a light shining in front of them.
" REGULUS FLASH ! "
Feeling their retinas burning, the two soldiers screamed in pain, before being hit.
"Huh?" Luffy was surprised.
Having an enemy den-den mushi in hand, Loke stated.
"Mugiwara...to prevent the enemy from sending unnecessary reinforcements, it is best to prevent them from communicating with each other."
"Lion-guy." Luffy cheered. "Are you here to help us?"
"Of course! Knowing that Lucy would be forced to fight against 10,000 soldiers, it is obvious that I come here to lend you a hand! If we do a good job here, the rocketman will be able to enter the city without the slightest problem. "
Suddenly the den-den mushi began to speak and Spandam's voice was heard.
"Mushi, mushi? Report back! Did you just tell me that 500 soldiers were defeated by Mugiwara? That is impossible."
Looking at the snail, Loke finally pretended to be sorry.
"Sorry boss! I made a mistake because of the panic! There are only 5 injured in our ranks."
"5? You dare to make me panic when there are only 5 wounded in your ranks? You want me to fire you, incapable?"
"My apologies." Loke said.
At that moment, Luffy walked towards him and wanted to talk to Spandam.
"HEY! Where's Rob...?"
Hastening to put his hand over his mouth to silence him, Loke continued the conversation.
"Mugiwara is just running in all directions to escape the soldiers who are chasing him! In a short time, we will have captured him! Don't worry about Nico Robin."
"Bakayaro! Why would I worry about her? She's right in front of me, inside the Tower of Justice."
Hearing this, Loke looked at the huge tower in understanding.
"She's already there."
Then he hung up.
"We are now certain that we will have to travel all over the city if we want to…"
" ROOOOOOBBBBBBIIIIIIIIINNNNNN ! "
Running at full speed, Luffy resumed his path and didn't hesitate to hit the soldiers in his path. Seeing him, Loke could only grunt.
"He's worse than a kid."
For his part, practically hitting the den-den mushi as he hung up, Spandam dropped the receiver on his desk, grunting all the while.
"It's just incompetent people wasting my time! But it doesn't matter…"
Showing a cocky smile again, Spandam walked towards his captives.
"No matter what Mugiwara does, he can never ruin my day! If he runs away from Enies Lobby's soldiers, he will end up getting captured! And the world government will congratulate me for perfectly protecting Enies Lobby! Hahahaha!"
Hearing it, Franky grumbled.
"You're even more hateful than before."
"Coming from the mouth of a criminal, I take that as a compliment," Spandam said. "But I have to say, I'm impressed that you managed to survive that accident that happened eight years ago ! I saw you get hit by the sea train myself! It's as if you're not human."
"Let's just say I refused to die before slaughtering the man responsible for Tom's death." Franky said. "And today seems like the day I can finally beat myself to death."
Hearing this, Spandam started laughing before moving closer to him.
"Did I hear that right? You want to hit me? HAHAHAHAHA!"
Confident as Franky was bound with chains, Spandam brought his face closer to his.
"Cutty Flam! Right now, I'm the one who has all the rights over you! With a simple gesture, I decide if you die or if you live! Seriously, given your situation, do you really think that Could the slightest of your words scare me? HAHAHAHA... AHHHHHHHH!"
Suddenly letting out a cry of pain, Spandam felt Franky's jaws bite into his skull.
"I'm going to crush your face."
"AHHHHHH! STOP! HELP!"
Seeing him being bitten, his subordinates sat still, only glancing at each other a few times.
"Who is dedicated?" Kaku asked.
"I'm sure he can manage on his own." Blueno assured.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
"I think I see his blood starting to flow." Fosha remarked.
"HAHAHAHA! Cutty Flam is really a fun guy." Jabura assured, laughing.
" HELP ! "
"Ask a woman for help... that's harassment." Kalifa asserted.
"I'm starting to get hungry." Araga declared.
" HE IS GOING TO KILL ME !"
Suddenly opening his zipper, Fukuro declared.
"By the way, did I tell you about the breakup Jabura had last week?"
"Jabura got tackled?" Fosha asked. " Tell me. "
"If you say anything to him, I'll kill you." Jabura roared.
" PLEAAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEEE ! "
Finally getting up from his seat, Kumadori gestured with his arms.
"Yoyoi! Don't worry, boss! I'm coming to your rescue."
Making more gestures while shouting, he finally ends up moving towards Franky, before hitting him. thrown to the side, the cyborg collapsed to the ground, while he had let go of Spandam's head.
Moaning in pain, Spandam held his head in his hands, before roaring.
"Why did it take you so long to intervene?"
"I'm sorry." Kumadori stated. "Let me practice hara-kiri to make amends."
Ignoring him, Spandam walked towards Franky before kicking him.
"Bastard! If you're alive, it's thanks to my mercy! How dare you attack a man of my importance?"
Hitting him for a few more seconds, he finally stopped to catch his breath. Then, starting to smile, he asked.
"Are you mad at me because of what happened at Water-7? Why? After all, I was only doing my job! I was only stopping a criminal who was endangering the peace in the world. "
Hearing this, Franky ordered him.
"I forbid you to speak ill of Tom."
In response, Spandam trampled his face under his foot.
"I have no orders to receive from you."
Continuing to smile mischievously, he questioned him.
"Don't you understand that the gods are on my side? For five years, CP9's mission to spy on Iceberg had been a failure! However, things completely changed until a group of pirates arrived on him."
Then turning to Robin, Spandam stated.
"It was like a revelation! It was the sign that we needed to obtain the sketches of Pluto as well as capture Nico Robin."
Clenching his fist, he affirmed.
"Yes, the gods are with me! I have in my possession the most powerful weapon in the Navy: The Buster Call! And what's more, I hold the only people who can lead me to the location of the Ancient Weapons! You return -do you realize that I am at this very moment the most powerful man in this world? HAHAHAHA!"
"Why did Aokiji give you the right to trigger a Buster Call?"
Having asked this simple question, Robin saw Spandam stop laughing before turning to her.
" Huh ? "
The next second, the man's fist hit her in the face. Collapsing to the ground, Robin groaned in pain, while a trickle of blood flowed out of her mouth.
"Who do you think you are?" Spandam roared. "I forbid you from asking me any questions, you insolent criminal! If I wasn't interested in you, you would already be dead by now! You should be grateful to me, don't you think? HAHAHAHA !"
However, the man suddenly fell silent. Hearing a growl, he turned towards Fosha. Still sitting, the young woman stared at him angrily, while a few scales appeared on her face. Fosha gave the impression of having great difficulty restraining herself from attacking her superior.
Knowing perfectly well her relationship with Robin, Spandam wanted to order her to lower her gaze. However, he didn't forget the relationship that Fosha had with Edmond. Perhaps the man was no longer a CP0 agent. But he nonetheless remained someone of capital importance. Knowing that Edmond was interested in acquiring Nico Robin's knowledge, Spandam didn't really want to argue with the person who considered Edmond like her father.
"Tssss!" He growled, glaring at Robin. "You're lucky she's here, otherwise I could have cut off your legs and arms! Anyway, only your brain interests the world! The rest of your being, everyone wants to see it disappear. "
And while he started laughing again, Akoya was starting to get impatient. In front of him were two criminals. He knew full well that Nico Robin had to be kept captive because of the amount of information she held. However, he had difficulty holding back. He wanted to purge the evil here and now.
"Yoyoi! What about the pirates in Enies Lobby?" Kumadori asked. "Knowing that you made an arrangement with Nico Robin, should we capture them and drive them off the island?"
"Huh? Certainly not! Do whatever you want with them! If those pirates come this far, I want them killed."
Widening her eyes upon hearing this, Robin immediately sat up.
"This is not what was planned! I agreed to cooperate in exchange for your promise! You swore to me that CP9 will not kill any of this crew."
Showing a wicked smile, Spandam retorted.
"All I promised was that those pirates could leave Water-7! And if I'm not mistaken, we're at Enies Lobby! Is it my fault those stupid pirates came all the way here to get you back?"
Rejoicing to see Robin's enraged and horrified face, Spandam wanted to trample her face to ensure his power. However, still being in Fosha's presence, he started laughing again, heading towards the window of the room.
"HAHAHAHA! A pirate with a bounty of 100 million berries who wanted to help Princess Nefertari overthrow the power in Alabasta? I'm sure his capture will earn me another promotion! I should thank him for that."
"Tssss! You're such an asshole." Franky roared. "I was right! You really haven't changed in eight years! Are you upholding justice? My ass! I know criminals who have more humanity than you! You have no honor."
Being able to attack him without risking being killed, Spandam trampled him again under his foot.
"SHUT UP! I didn't allow you to criticize me, criminal! It's people like you who endanger the peace in this world! Do you really think I would accept a lecture from a guy like you? Don't make me laugh. "
Then, raising his arms towards the sky, he assured.
"I am the man who can now decide the fate of this world! HAHAHAHA!"
Stopping in front of a large door, Diethard stated.
"Here is Spandam-san's office! If you would like to wait for his permission to..."
Passing him, Morgans placing his hands on the double doors before opening them.
"Hi! I'm here for the interview."
Immediately, as he suspected, the albatross-man felt murderous auras heading towards him, while a few people turned in his direction. being victims of shivers, while they saw the CP9 agents staring at them, Megi and Phoggy could not help but hide behind their boss.
For his part, surprised by their arrival, Spandam searched under his clothes to grab a pocket watch.
"Are you there yet? You're half an hour early."
Pretending to be cheerful about doing this interview, Morgans declared.
"How could I not be eager to interview the man who was behind the capture of the famous Nico Ro…"
Turning his gaze, the journalist found sudden interest when he saw Robin. Immediately, he grabbed a den-den mushi to take a photo. failing to be obliged to do an interview which disinterested him, he was not going to deprive himself of taking a beautiful photo for his next newspaper.
However, a hand suddenly grabbed his den-den mushi.
"Huh?" Morgans wondered, unable to take a single photo.
having suddenly appeared in front of him, Lucci gave him a dark look.
"Before the interview begins, I want to remind you of some details! First of all, you must not forget that the world thinks that Spandam is still the commander of CP5! Moreover, apart from his, none of our faces must not appear in any of your photos! If one of our faces is ever revealed or if CP9 is cited in your newspaper,..."
Letting a murderous aura escape from his heart, he stated.
"I will come and take your life myself."
Wanting to first meet the killer's gaze, Morgans ends up smiling, before reassuring.
"Have no fear! Remember, I am a professional! This is not the first time the government has asked me to hide secrets."
"I hope so for you." Lucci said, dropping his den-den mushi.
Then he pretends to leave.
"We have nothing more to do here."
Seeing the other agents following him, Spandam wanted to stop them.
"One moment! Regarding your reward..."
"We don't want money." Lucci retorted.
"I'm not talking about money." Spandam assured. "Aren't you interested in a way to improve your physical abilities?"
Seeing his agents turn towards him, Spandam smiled before setting up a small chest.
"With what's in there, I can assure you that CP9 will become even more powerful."
