"I'm stuck." Luffy repeated, struggling in vain.
Finally, calming down a little, he noticed that he was not alone.
" Huh ? "
In front of him, he recognized Mister L and Mister K, who were always surprised to see him like this.
"YOU?" Luffy roared, while he had no trouble remembering the men who had attacked him in the hangar.
Then he looked down and saw Paulie's body.
"Rope-guy? What's going on here?"
"Tssss! I knew he was coming to HQ." Mister K said. "But I would have preferred that he not interfere before we had the blueprints in our possession."
"It doesn't matter." Mister L retorted. "It's not like he poses a real threat to us."
" ASSHOLES! " Luffy roared, struggling again. "You're going to pay for what you did to Robin! Hey, Rope-guy! Why are you staying on the ground? What are you waiting for to defeat these guys?"
"Bakayaro! If I could defeat them, I would have done it a long time ago."
"This situation is starting to annoy me." Mister K affirmed, walking towards Luffy. "All these unforeseen events will really turn into problems if we don't hurry up and finish this mission! RANKYAKU!"
Widening his eyes, Luffy saw two sharp gusts of wind rocketing towards him, while taking the shape of a cross.
" AHHHHHHHH! " Luffy shouted, struggling at full speed.
Freeing himself at the last minute, he let out a cry of terror as he saw Mister K's attack hit the location where he had previously been stuck. The attack had been so sharp that it had passed through the wall without the slightest problem.
"WHAT? He pulverized the wall without touching it."
However, quickly regaining his seriousness, he looked at the two men facing him and more specifically at Mister L.
"Hey, how can you betray Ice-ossan? I thought you admired this man."
"Huh?" Mister L was surprised.
"I know who you are." Luffy assured, remembering seeing Hattori land on the man's shoulder when he came to pick up Robin. "You're Pigeon-guy."
"What?" Paulie was surprised, while turning his gaze towards Mister L. "Lucci? Impossible."
Giving him no response, Mister L suddenly disappeared, before appearing behind Luffy.
"Your tenacity is really annoying, Mugiwara."
Barely having time to turn towards him, Luffy felt his foot hit his throat, before forcing him to crash into the ground. Lying on the ground while still having Mister L's foot crushing his neck, Luffy tried in vain to struggle. But already, Mister L grabbed several iron hoops, which he planted in the ground, so as to immobilize Luffy.
"What are you doing?" The pirate asked, seeing him plant the hoops so as to immobilize his arms and legs.
Suddenly, one of the hoops was positioned above his neck, to ensure that he couldn't even move his head.
"It's just preventative security to make sure you can't bother us."
For his part, Mister K did the same with Paulie. But seeming to ignore this, the carpenter only stared at Luffy before shouting.
"Hey! Why did you say this guy was Lucci? It's impossible! Lucci can't speak! And above all, even if this guy is the worst pain in the ass, he will never hurt Iceberg-san."
"I know what I saw." Luffy retorted, continuing to struggle. "I passed this guy earlier and I saw the carpenter's pigeon landing on his shoulder! Which means it must be him."
"I refuse to believe you." Paulie roared.
"Think what you want, you won't leave this room anyway." Mister K assured, starting to leave. "As for us, we go to Iceberg so that he can tell us what we want to know."
"ASSHOLES!" Paulie yelled. "I won't let you kill him."
But while he ignored her cries, Mister L also began to leave the room. However, turning to Luffy, he declared.
"Hey, Mugiwara! How are you feeling?"
" Huh ? "
"How do you feel, knowing that we easily managed to capture Nico Robin, while proving that you are incapable of protecting your comrades?
Without waiting for the slightest response from Luffy, Mister L left the room giggling. As a result, he did not make the many veins of rage that appeared on Luffy's face.
"YOU... It's not over! I'm going to get Robin."
And he began to scream again while struggling in vain. Finally calming down, he began to catch his breath.
" Damn it ... "
"Mugiwara..."
Seeming completely lost and no longer understanding the situation, Paulie questioned him.
"That guy you just talked to...was him really Lucci?"
"Yeah." Luffy assured him.
"Was he really the carpenter who never said a word since I've known him?" Paulie asked, gritting his teeth.
" Yeah. "
"Was he really the guy...that I considered my friend?" Paulie questioned, feeling tears appear in his eyes.
" Yeah. "
Then there was another silence. Then, Paulie declared.
"No matter who this man is...I must stop him from killing Iceberg-san."
"And I have to find him to free Robin." Luffy assured.
"You're pretty powerful." Paulie remarked.
" You too. "
"In that case, would you be interested if we call a truce and start an alliance to kick these guys' ass?"
"Honestly, I never considered you my enemy." Luffy stated.
There was a long silence again.
"By the way, do you have any ideas on how to free us?" Paulie asked.
Simply smiling, Luffy assured.
" Yeah. "
Gritting his teeth, Iceberg growled.
"So Kalifa wasn't the only person I had to be wary of."
"Indeed." Mister L affirmed, as he removed his mask.
" Lucci ! "
"It's your fault." Mister K retorted. "If you had collaborated with the World Government, none of this would have happened."
" Kaku ! "
"Unfortunately, it is now too late to regret your actions." Mister B declared.
" Blueno ! "
"I think it's time to put an end to this whole ridiculous charade." Lucci said. "Iceberg, I think you know why we're here! So be reasonable and give us Pluto."
"So, from the beginning, you were all part of CP9." Iceberg understood.
"Exactly! Generally, Cipher Pol is an organization that groups its agents into several groups ranging from CP1 to CP8! It is a government intelligence organization that is responsible for finding anything that could interest the world government! But While these nine groups are known throughout the world, there are two other groups! For example, CP0 brings together the elite members of this organization."
"And there's CP9." Iceberg growled.
"Indeed." Lucci agreed. "Given our special rights, our existences are kept secret."
"Your special rights?"
"Yes! We are the ultimate servants of justice! But if a citizen refuses to cooperate with the world government, we are authorized to kill them."
"Tsss!" Iceberg growled. "What you just said simply seems like hypocrisy! You compare yourself to vigilantes but, ultimately, you act like pirates! One wonders why the world government is surprised that all the people do not don't trust."
"What we're doing is perfectly right! Rather than constantly fearing Pluto's resurrection, the government will simply recreate this weapon and then use it to permanently bring about the Age of Pirates! If this quest asks us to kill you in order to that peace is guaranteed in the world, it is obvious that the choice is quickly decided."
"Guarantee peace?" Iceberg roared. "And have you considered that a man in the world government could use this weapon for his own gain? What will you do the day he takes the entire population hostage while threatening to destroy this planet? "
"You just have to believe in the ideals of the world government." Lucci retorted.
"Don't talk nonsense! Civilians are humans! Pirates are humans! And the people working in the world government are humans too! Simply knowing human nature is enough to know that we cannot trust this weapon to anyone."
Immediately, he cried out in pain, feeling Lucci's foot hit his stomach.
" ARRGGGHHHH ! "
"I advise you to remain silent! If the world government did not exist, what would our planet look like today? It would be totally dominated by unscrupulous pirates! You do not understand the importance of our mission."
Trying to stand up, Iceberg felt someone grab his wrist.
"What...?" He was surprised, seeing Kaku kneeling in front of him.
"Stay still." The man ordered, positioning his fingers to feel the man's pulse.
"Iceberg...after working all these years under your command, we know you inside and out." Lucci stated. "And even if we torture you, you would never give us the blueprints we are looking for! That is why we are going to perform another method with you! A method that will force you to betray yourself."
Leaving Iceberg staring at him, still understanding what they intended to do, Lucci continued.
"To begin with, I have a hypothesis regarding the fake blueprints you placed here! You suspected that the world government could break into this place and that's why you hid fake ones under your desk! However, since you haven't destroyed Pluto's real blueprints, I'm sure it's because you're afraid that the world needs them! If disaster were to strike the world, Pluto would be the only way to save the population, despite the risk that its appearance could trigger even more cataclysms."
Iceberg continued to stare at him in silence.
"That's why I doubt a man like you would let himself die without informing anyone of the location of bluesprints! Yes! You want the government to execute you, while ensuring that we continue to believe that what we are looking for was in your possession! However, that is no longer the case, is it? You have already entrusted the bluesprints to someone you trust."
Immediately, Iceberg's eyes widened.
"But the problem with this assumption is knowing the name of the person to whom you could have entrusted such precious bluesprints." Lucci declared. "You didn't even trust your most loyal carpenter enough and you simply entrusted him with the fake bluesprints! In that case, is there really a person to whom you could have given them?"
There was a long silence. Then, Kalifa spoke.
"Yesterday, when Cipher Pol came to your office to talk with you, one of them made a very interesting remark."
Remembering when Light had observed one of Iceberg's childhood photos in the man's office, Kalifa said.
"He had stated that your mentor, Tom, had two apprentices! It was you and another person, who died eight years ago, the same as Tom! However, when his name was mentioned I I immediately remembered a detail that happened a few years ago."
Properly placing her glasses back on her nose, she declared.
"A few years ago, a man came to see you! A man whose name is identical to that of Tom's second apprentice, the one who must have died years ago."
This time, Iceberg couldn't help but feel beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"It was… Cutty Flam."
Iceberg's heartbeat began to accelerate.
"Clearly…" Lucci finished. "Cutty Flam, Tom's other apprentice, is still alive, while his new identity is that of Franky, the leader of the Franky Family."
Unable to calm down, Icerberg let his heartbeat betray him, while Kaku had no trouble feeling his pulse.
"Huuuummmm...I think our hypothesis was correct." The man assured, finally letting go of his wrist.
"I must admit, after having been around Franky for 4 years, that I would never have guessed for a moment that he could maintain such a relationship with Iceberg. " Said Blueno. "Finally, you may be better actors than us."
Ignoring this, Lucci only walked towards Iceberg.
"Your pulse revealed the truth, Iceberg! Franky was Tom's second assistant and, despite the fact that you seem to hate each other, he is the only person you trust completely! He's the one with the blueprints which interests us! Which means..."
Pointing his index finger at Iceberg, he stated.
"That you no longer have any reason to stay alive."
Gritting his teeth, Iceberg saw the man's finger pointing towards him. Yet, just as he was about to kill him, Lucci let his body become hard as steel.
" TEKKAI! "
Striking his forearm, Zoro's saber managed to stop him, sparing Iceberg.
"What…?" The man was surprised.
"Huh?" Kaku and the others said, unable to hide a certain surprise at seeing Zoro here.
At their feet, a zipper had just opened, allowing Bruno and the others to get out.
"Damn it." The man growled, while glaring at Zoro. "We could have arrived sooner if Zoro hadn't gotten lost! This is the first time someone has managed to get lost when all you have to do is put your hand on my shoulder and let me lead you to destination. "
"Zoro is like Luffy." Nami retorted. "There's no point in thinking too much! There's nothing anyone can do to remove the stupidity within them."
For his part, looking around, Chopper saw a few people and eventually saw Robin.
"Robin! We found you."
The young woman maintained a stoic face, while Lucci turned towards the pirates.
"This time, your presence is starting to irritate me."
Having fun twirling her cane between her fingers, Araga managed to lengthen and shrink her weapon before using it to strike Lucy. So, even though some distance separated the duo, Lucy felt the end of the cane hit her, preventing her from taking a step forward.
Having dropped her keys on the ground, she tried in vain to recover them.
"Who is it, Miss Tits? I thought a pirate might give me more trouble than that."
Taking another cane, Lucy was forced to take a step back. Then, realizing that her plan was a failure, she grabbed her whip, before directing it towards Araga.
"Stop underestimating me."
Despite being blind, Araga had no trouble hearing the weapon coming towards her. And that was why she was able to jump gracefully to avoid him. However, this allowed Lucy to run forward and jump to the ground, to grab her keys.
" GOTCHA. "
" And after ? "
Jumping in fear, Lucy heard Araga's voice, who was right behind her. Lucy hadn't even been able to see her move.
"Miss Tits...apparently you rely a lot on this set of keys to fight." Araga remarked. "But even if you have them at your disposal, what good would your keys be if I prevent you from using them?"
In response, Lucy turned towards her and tried to hit her with her whip. However, raising her arm to let the whip wrap around it, Araga didn't seem to feel any sensation. Continuing to smile, she then pulled her arm back forcing the whip to follow her. Surprised by her power, Lucy felt her feet take a step forward, while she struggled to keep her whip in her hands.
" What power. "
"Usually people think I'm harmless." Araga said. "Indeed, who could be afraid of a blind person! However, if a person like me can use haki, using like a second pair of eyes, and manipulate the techniques of the Cipher Pool, it is obvious that my abilities surpass that of a normal human."
"Haki?" Lucy repeated, remembering hearing Mr. 6 and Miss Halloween talking about it.
Suddenly, Araga's knee hit her abdomen. Gasping, Lucy fell to her knees, making muffled noises.
"Miss Tits, right now I don't really want to kill you! So how about I just stay on the ground and don't move! If I stay in a good mood, I think I'll just leave while saving."
Groaning at this, Lucy retorted.
"This time, it's you who considers me harmless."
"Isn't that the case?" Araga asked.
Shrugging her shoulders and letting out a weary sigh, she retorted.
"Sorry, but I don't detect any threat from you! In truth, it would only take me a moment to kill you."
Smiling then, she affirmed.
"There is no reason for the Cipher Pol to consider you our enemy."
It was at this moment that a spear of light was thrown towards her.
"TEKKAI!"
Letting the attack crash into her back, Araga then turned around and saw Raynare.
" Already back? "
"It's really a shame for you that you're blind." The fallen angel said. "Because if your eyesight was better, you would have realized that you would have been better off finishing me off rather than focusing on another target."
"For me it doesn't change anything." Araga retorted. "What do you think you can do against me?"
In response, Raynare threw several spears of light in her direction. Seeing this, Araga positioned her cane in front of her and began to twirl it while extending it.
"Just to clarify! I ate the Long-Long no Mi fruit, which allows me to lengthen or reduce the size of all objects I touch."
Swinging her cane faster and faster, she let Raynare's spears crash into her weapon and be reduced to particles of light. Then, once the explosions were over, she pointed the end of her cane at the fallen angel.
" LONG LONG ! "
Having already seen this movement, Raynare tilted her body to the side, to move out of the path of the attack. Having stretched its size, the cane attempted to strike the fallen angel, but missed its target.
"You won't get me twice with the same attack." Raynare assured.
And before Araga could say anything back, an energy sphere shot towards her.
Eevee use SHADOW BALL.
Not feeling the attack until too late, Araga tilted her body backwards at the last minute to see the attack pass not far from her.
"You…" She growled, looking down at Eevee.
" REGULUS PUNCH ! "
This time, Araga felt a fist hit her in the cheek. Backing away from several, she then growled, glaring at Loke, who had positioned himself in front of her. Behind the spirit, Lucy held her key, as she confessed.
"I may be physically weak! But I refuse to let anyone pretend that I'm not a threat."
"Tssss! Miss Tits, you would have been better off lying down! Now I'm going to have to kill you."
However, crossing her arms in front of her face, she felt a powerful gust of wind hit her. The attack was so powerful that Araga dropped his cane.
"Stop talking and focus on our fight." The fallen angel roared, flying towards her.
Thinking she had disarmed Araga, Raynare thought she was defenseless. However, remaining stoic, Araga only closed her fist before aiming at her.
" LONG LONG ... "
Suddenly, she surprised everyone the moment she made her arm lengthen.
" WHAT ? "
" PISTOL ! "
Unable to react in time, Raynare felt Araga's fist hit her in the face. Having seen this, Lucy couldn't help but be amazed to see Araga then shrink the size of her arm back to its normal size.
" Her power ? "
"It looks like your captain's, doesn't it?" Araga asked, turning to look at her. "My fruit not only allows me to extend the size of the objects I touch! I can also easily extend the size of my arms or my legs."
Then opening her mouth, she showed her tongue before letting it lay out.
"Thanks to this power, no one has complained about my kisses! Would you like to try, Miss Tits?"
Grimacing, Lucy showed she wasn't interested.
"You call that a punch?"
Looking behind her, Araga felt Raynare's presence. Feeling a trickle of blood flow from one of her nostrils, the fallen angel nevertheless smiled, as she retorted.
"If you think this is enough to kill me, I'd rather tell you right away..."
Suddenly disappearing, she appeared in front of Araga.
" WHAT ... ? "
Raynare's foot slammed into his chin, forcing Araga's feet off the ground. Feeling her jaws snap, the young blind girl almost bit her tongue, as she ended up being thrown backwards.
"You're far from being at my level." Raynare affirmed, while she spread four of her wings.
In response, Araga stood up without much difficulty. However, also feeling a trickle of blood leaking from one of her vessels, the young teenager declared.
"Miss Tits is lucky! Because the one I'm going to kill now...is you."
