"Excellent, the small fry have all left. No one will disturb our fun, Whitebeard, again!" External matters could not sway Kaido of the Beasts; his sole purpose was battle, a decisive fight to the death with Whitebeard.
"I'm afraid they haven't all left, have they?" Whitebeard scanned his surroundings, his Observation Haki sensing in all directions. But he didn't detect Law's whereabouts. Observation Haki was a powerful sensing ability, but Haki was not invincible. Those who possessed Observation Haki naturally knew how to conceal their presence, how to hide everything about themselves, and by doing so, could defend against being detected by Observation Haki.
The same applied to Armament Haki. Armament Haki could capture the tangible forms of Logia-type Devil Fruit users, but if a Logia user also possessed Haki, and their Haki was superior, then attempting to capture their true body would become incredibly difficult. The Op-Op Fruit was no different. Armament Haki could resist many of the Op-Op Fruit's bizarre abilities, but Law naturally possessed Armament Haki as well. If Law's Armament Haki was stronger than his opponent's, then they couldn't hope to resist the Op-Op Fruit's peculiar powers either.
"What if they haven't left? Their attacks lack any real power; they can't even pierce through my body. What's there to consider?" Kaido of the Beasts clearly disdained sneaky fellows like Law. "Indeed, the attack power isn't too strong." Whitebeard had also taken Law's attacks and felt no sense of crisis from them. *It seems the opponent isn't a combat-type strongman; is he more inclined towards support abilities?* "I was indeed overly worried." Whitebeard also forgot about Law. The two Yonko once again clashed fiercely. *Rumble, rumble, rumble.* The fractured island once again suffered severe damage, the ground tilting and crumbling. ... The CP9 warship did not return directly to Enies Lobby. Instead, it remained anchored at an island a hundred miles away. Their mission was to gather information on the battle between the two Yonko, to determine if there was an opportunity for the Marines to dispatch forces. "The Whitebeard Pirates' defenses are too strong, and all their subordinate pirate crews have gathered.
There's no opportunity to reap the benefits of others' struggles." After collecting various intelligence reports, CP9 reached their conclusion. With the answer in hand. They could naturally depart. "Report the news to Director Spandam. Let him handle these troublesome matters. Trafalgar Law is likely in dire straits." After a day and a night without any news, they didn't believe there was any chance of escape after falling into the heart of the Whitebeard Pirates' territory. It was known that dozens of Whitebeard Pirates' subordinate crews had surrounded the surrounding sea area so tightly that not even warships could barely leave. One person? Unless it was an Admiral, there was no possibility of escape. "Poor little brother, with the potential to become a king, but not the fate," Kalifa said regretfully. ... "Huh?" At Enies Lobby, Spandam, after receiving the news, was stunned for a moment before a look of wild joy appeared on his face: "Lord Trafalgar Law fell into the Whitebeard Pirates' hands, being hunted? His life or death unknown?" "If that devil Trafalgar Law dies, won't Enies Lobby still be in my control?" Spandam couldn't help but cackle wildly. *That guy brought this upon himself; he has no one to blame.*
But he quickly stopped laughing. Because he remembered that his heart was still in Law's possession. "Right, my heart." Spandam hastily rushed out the door: "All of you, follow me!" He led a large number of subordinates and stormed into Law's room: "Turn this place upside down; I want you to find my heart!" "Yes, sir!" Every corner was searched; even the walls were smashed open, and the floorboards pried up. Nothing. There was absolutely nothing! Turn this place upside down? Perhaps digging thirty feet deep might yield results. Law had buried Spandam's heart and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit a hundred meters underground, a feat difficult for ordinary people, but easily accomplished by Law. "This is it, I'm finished. If that devil always carried my heart, and he gets killed by the Whitebeard Pirates, won't my heart...?" Spandam was terrified. He frantically rushed to his office: "That devil absolutely cannot die! Otherwise, my heart's whereabouts will be unknown, and I could die at any moment." For his own sake! "That bastard, does he really think he's a god? Sure enough, no matter how monstrous a new recruit is, they can't shake off their arrogant personality. Those are Yonko, that's the Whitebeard Pirates! Who does he think he is? Rushing in like that is not just courting death, it's begging for it!" Spandam cursed under his breath, raging. But no matter what, for his own safety, he wanted to ensure Law's. Yet, they were facing two Yonko. Let alone him, the highest-ranking officer of CP9 and a World Government official, even an Admiral would struggle to make a difference in such a situation.
"Only by relying on the Marines can he be saved." Spandam dared not think about whether Law was already dead after a day and a night. He could only cling to a sliver of hope, picking up his Transponder Snail and hastily dialing. But he ultimately couldn't get through to the Fleet Admiral's Transponder Snail. "A mere new recruit, no matter how talented, surely can't prompt the entire Marine force to mobilize against two Yonko, right?" Spandam's face showed despair. Those were the Whitebeard Pirates and Kaido of the Beasts. Without the conditions to deploy, how could the Marines possibly mobilize their entire force for a single new recruit? Even if this new recruit's potential was astonishing, what did it matter? Were they going to gamble the future of the entire Marine organization? "The Marines will never agree." Spandam desperately clutched at his hair, pulling out clump after clump: "First, notify Admiral Zephyr. I hope Admiral Zephyr truly values that devil. Perhaps Admiral Zephyr can find a way to get the Marines to deploy." Admiral Zephyr's influence within Marine Headquarters was certainly far greater than Spandam's.
*Beep, beep, beep.* The call to Zephyr's Transponder Snail connected. Zephyr, who was instructing students at the new recruit camp, heard the news and his face changed dramatically. He rushed to Marine Headquarters in a panic. "Law, how could that fellow be so impulsive, actually daring to infiltrate the Whitebeard Pirates alone? Doesn't he know how terrifying Whitebeard is?" Zephyr's reprimand was tinged with worry. Law was a student he highly valued. Nearing seventy, he knew he no longer had the energy to guide the growth of another powerhouse. Law was meant to be the perfect culmination of his life's work. But the gravity of this matter exceeded Zephyr's own authority and capabilities. *Bang!* Zephyr didn't bother to knock, forcefully pushing open the Fleet Admiral's office door. He was surprised to find that the office contained not only the Fleet Admiral but also the Admirals. "Perfect, since all of you are here, this old man won't have to search for you one by one." Zephyr rushed to the desk, heavily leaning on it, and looked at a startled Sengoku: "Sengoku, my student is trapped within the Whitebeard Pirates' territory. We need the power of the Marines!"
