Chapter 218 - 9

Chapter 200: Straw Hat is Unstoppable"Nani!!"The smile on the other side of the transponder snail froze instantly, as if a pause button had been pressed.Following that was a dead silence lasting over ten seconds.Then, Spandam screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Are you kidding me? She was rescued? What are you guys even good for? The entire CP9 mobilized and you couldn't even bring back one Child of the Devil.Lucci, do you have any idea what this means? My promotion plan and my future are all ruined!"A series of unbearable curses and questions gushed out from the transponder snail like a barrage of cannon fire.[Remember this site's domain wkn.com, super reliable]Lucci just listened expressionlessly. It wasn't until Spandam was somewhat out of breath from cursing and his voice lowered slightly that he coldly spoke: "Are you finished?""You!"Spandam was choked with rage, the transponder snail's expression turning furious: "I am your superior, you damn pigeon bastard.""I need all the detailed information on Straw HatMonkey D. Luffy right now."Lucci ignored Spandam completely. "Additionally, the reward of two Devil Fruits you promised us after completing the mission—I want them immediately."Hearing this, Spandam seemed to have found an outlet for his frustration and couldn't help but start rambling again: "What is this 'Straw Hat'? What remote corner did that pirate crawl out of?A name I've never even heard of, and you CP9 were actually defeated by such a character? I'm starting to suspect your strength has declined because you've been undercover in Water 7 for too long!The mission failed, and now you still want the Devil Fruits?""Spandam,"Lucci's voice suddenly dropped to freezing point. Even through the transponder snail, that cold killing intent was clearly transmitted. "Remember what I said. Otherwise, I won't be able to stop myself from coming back and killing you right now."On the other end of the transponder snail, Spandam instantly fell silent, as if an invisible hand had gripped his throat, only able to make wheezing sounds.Click.Lucci hung up the transponder snail directly."Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!!"Inside the office of the Tower of Justice, Spandamfuriously slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the floor, expensive wine and glass shards splattering everywhere.He roared crazily at the now-silent transponder snail: "Lucci, you damn subordinate, how dare you threaten your superior! CP9 is just a pack of ungrateful wolves!"To ensure this mission was foolproof, he had sent out almost all the CP9 forces he could mobilize, never expecting this outcome.Nico Robin was lost, leaving only Franky and the Pluton blueprints; the credit was greatly diminished.To prevent even this remaining mission result from meeting an accident, Spandam suppressed his rage, grabbed another transponder snail, and screamed hoarsely: "Pass down my orders! All forces on Enies Lobby are to immediately enter Level 1 combat readiness and block all entrances! The Straw Hat Pirates are likely coming!Who are the Straw Hat Pirates? How should I know! Just carry out the order!"The atmosphere in the first carriage was oppressive."Puhahaha."From the corner, Franky couldn't help but laugh out loud. "How pathetic."The faces of the CP9 members were all unsightly, but no one paid attention to Franky's mockery."What a terrifying Straw Hat. Our mission actually failed. We in CP9 can even assassinate Revolutionary Army executives, yet in his hands, even with all of us attacking together, we were almost wiped out."Jabra stood up unsteadily, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Lucci with lingering fear.If Lucci hadn't decisively cut the carriage, they would likely have been wiped out.His words were full of frustration. The pride of CP9 was shattered at this moment.Lucci sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, seemingly digesting every detail of the battle just now.He suddenly spoke in a raspy voice: "Jabra, how much do you know about this Straw Hat?"As a member who frequently carried out missions outside, Jabra's information sources were relatively broad.He gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "Give it up, Lucci."As companions for many years, even if they hadn't seen each other for years, he instantly understood Lucci's unspoken words.It was unwillingness, a desire to challenge again."Even if your dovly is much higher than mine, the battle just now has proven that all of us in CP9 combined are no match for him."Jabra said deeply, "The information I have is also limited. But without a doubt, the World Government's 200 million bounty on Straw Hat is definitely not inflated; it might even be too low."Recalling the suffocating pressure when fighting Luffy, he continued: "It's not like we haven't dealt with the Seven Warlords of the Sea before. But even those guys don't seem to give off as much pressure as Straw Hat. The aura he possesses is that of a matured powerhouse.Powerhouses who have clashed with him, besides Crocodile, include the current Marineford Rear Admiral Smoker, a Logia Type Smoke-Smoke Fruituser; and the new nominee for the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Blackbeard Marshall D.Teach."Such an existence is no longer something CP9 can handle independently.A guy like this has immense potential; as long as he doesn't die young, becoming a regional overlord is almost a certainty.If he successfully enters the New World, he can definitely secure a place for himself!And how long has it been since Luffy set sail and got his first bounty?This growth speed is even more appalling.Kaku clutched his chest, which still throbbed with pain, and said in a deep voice: "Against a guy like that, the Six Powers are completely useless. His physical techniques and Haki completely overwhelm us. My dovly is practically a joke in front of him.""Al-also, there's even worse news. That Straw Hatpersonally said he's set his sights on Enies Lobby; he wants to declare war on the World Government."At this time, Blueno, who had fainted, struggled to wake up and weakly added: "Besides Straw Hat, there are many other formidable people in the Straw Hat crew.""Declare war on the World Government?!"Jabra gasped, speaking almost like a sigh, "Then that really is a massive problem."They all knew very well what it meant for Luffy to possess Conqueror's Haki. Especially since they had personally experienced the terror of his Conqueror's Haki.That kingly quality means he possesses a spirit and potential that towers over ordinary people. Will the ten thousand troops stationed on Enies Lobbyreally be useful against a Luffy who has Haoshoku?From the battle in the carriage just now, it's clear that the number of fodder is meaningless in the face of absolute quality.Unless they are elite Marines, or commissioned officers who also master Haki.The ten thousand troops stationed on Enies Lobbywould play a negligible role in the face of Haki of that level.But mobilizing elite Marines takes time.What they lack is time.
