Chapter 412: Capital of Water 7
"Spandam, why are you calling us so urgently? I don't want to waste our years of pretending here because of some boring things."
"To make a long story short, we have to get back to work as soon as possible before they find out."
Everyone was questioning him, and no one respected him, which made Spandam very annoyed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't forget that I am your chief. Is this how you treat your chief?"
No one responded.
Facing Spandam's anger, the CP8 group still remained very calm and didn't care.
"So what?"
"The reason why you summoned us here is to see our attitude?"
"If that's all it is, you've finished watching it now?"
"We're going to go back to work after we finish watching."
Spandam slapped the table vigorously: "Crack! I order you, from now on, stop all tasks at hand!"
As soon as the words came out.
The faces of CP8 and his group couldn't help but become more serious.
They have been undercover agents here for so many years, and they want to dismiss them just by saying 'stop'. How is this possible? They need a rational explanation!
Everyone stared at Spandam with unfriendly faces.
When Spandam saw that these guys dared to look at him like this, he was even more annoyed: "This is the order of the Five Elders! It is because you guys are useless, and you have been unable to complete this task for a long time, so the Five Elders changed their mind! You don't need to continue now! From now on, you just follow my orders!"
"Why?"
Spandam: "No reason! My word is an order!"
"If you can't give a reasonable explanation, maybe Five Elders will relieve us of our mission. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that we can't obey your order."
Spandam: "You!"
The eyes of the CP8 group remained unchanged.
Obviously, everyone will not compromise easily.
Everyone also doesn't trust this guy in front of them.
Spandam's face was ugly, he gritted his teeth, and said: "I think you don't understand the current situation between the World Government and the Revolutionary Army, right? When you were sent here, you were sent here to peacefully seize Pluton's blueprint. But in this situation, do you think it is necessary to wait?"
Everyone in CP8 was speechless.
Although they are undercover agents, they are still well informed.
The World Government and the Revolutionary Army are now almost at a fever pitch.
The facts are indeed as Spandam said, if we really have to wait, maybe the winner has already been decided, and then they will complete the task, so what?
"Then what does the World Government say now? What do we need to do next? Just let us give up here and let us go to war?"
Spandam: "No, it's impossible to give up. We don't have time to spend with them anymore! Since they don't know good from bad, don't blame us for turning our faces and ignoring people!"
"Do you want to do it directly?"
"But we don't know where he keeps the blueprint?"
Spandam: "Heh, since we can't get it, let's just destroy it. Let the entire capital of Water 7 be buried with that blueprint!"
"When do we do it?"
After finishing speaking, Spandam slapped a wanted warrant on the table.
That is Luffy's arrest warrant.
"The reputation of the World Government cannot be destroyed because of this, we still need to wait for a scapegoat. This is our goal, Monkey D. Luffy! According to the clues provided by Five Elders, they will arrive in the capital of Water 7 soon. Five Elders means that this person is more important than Pluton's blueprint! It would be best if we could capture him alive. If you can't capture them alive, at least you have to prove their crimes and test their strength. This is the brand new mission given to me by Five Elders!"
"..."
The discussion is over.
That night, the CP8 team started to act in the dark.
The whole process went very smoothly.
Without alarming anyone, they controlled the important officials of Tom Shipbuilding Company, including the main target Iceburg.
Since the face has been torn, there is no need to be polite.
In the next period of time, they will try their best to pry open Iceburg's mouth and let him hand over the Pluton blueprint.
It would be best if it could be done.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't work.
They only need to wait for the arrival of Monkey D. Luffy, and then blame all the crimes on Luffy and his party, and destroy the entire Water 7 City, then their mission this time is also a successful conclusion, and they can go back...
...
Time flies, time flies.
In a blink of an eye, a period of time has passed.
During this period, although Iceburg and some important officials disappeared, undercover agents like CP8 tried their best to cover it up, and no one found anything wrong.
On this day, the people of the capital of Water 7 are still living their peaceful lives as usual. Those who should open a shop open a shop, go shopping when they should go shopping, and build a ship when they should build a ship.
However, this peace was quickly broken by the noise from the street.
"Hey, look! What is that?!"
"Bird?"
"No, why is there a golden bird?"
As the mysterious bright giant bird got closer and closer, people's voices changed from arguing and noisy to dead silence.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at the golden boat flying towards their capital of Water 7 in disbelief.
Until the golden boat was built on top of their heads, everyone hadn't recovered for a long time.
Who knows how long it has been.
Seeing this golden boat floating above the capital of Water 7, refusing to leave.
At this moment, everyone was completely flustered.
The entire city of Water 7 is in chaos.
The people fled and ran, forming a situation where people ran into people. Even those bulls that looked like seahorses were frightened and flustered.
Tom Shipbuilding Company, Iceburg's office.
Spandam slapped the table and cursed: "Damn! What kind of monsters are those old guys telling us to face?!"
No need to fight anymore.
Being able to control such a huge golden boat, as long as anyone with a discerning eye sees it, they will know that this force must not be messed with.
How could Spandam be so idiotic that he couldn't even understand this?
Now, he really might die.
In his heart, he cursed those old men of Five Elders desperately.
"What now? Are we still on track?"
Spandam: "Okay? Okay shit! Don't you see what's in the sky?! Are you sure we can take them down?!"
"..."
CP8 and his group stayed there quietly without saying anything.
Spandam's thoughts began to run rapidly in his mind.
After a while.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Let Iceburg deal with those guys! If he refuses to agree, then threaten him with his partner's life! We ready to evacuate here at any time! As long as we blow up the capital of Water 7 before we evacuate, that's fine! Although there will be many things that need to be dealt with after this, but for now, this is the only way to go."
...
At the same time.
On the golden boat.
Luffy stared excitedly at this unique city below, and wanted to go down and see it. But the rest of them looked terrified and refused to let him go down.
Luffy: "I want to go down! I want to go down! Don't you see? How strange is this city! It's all surrounded by waterways! No way! I want to go down! I must go down and see it!"
In the past, usually at this time, Usopp and Chopper would go crazy with Luffy.
But this time even the two of them shook their heads again and again.
"No, no!"
"Luffy, your elder brother has already expressed his dissatisfaction before! We can't waste any more time!"
Yes, after witnessing Li Yaoxiang's strange ability to deal with Enel, the people on the entire ship are afraid of none other than Li Yaoxiang.
Everyone was worried that if Li Yaoxiang was dissatisfied with the performance of the others, they might encounter something that even they themselves could not imagine.
Luffy: "No, I'm going down!"
All the people said in unison: "No!"
Luffy: "But don't we have to wait for the compass to finish recording? What's the point of going down now? If it records a long time, maybe we can play here for a while longer."
All the devil faces, with one voice: "Absolutely not!!!"
Immediately, Luffy wanted to jump directly, no matter what.
Usopp and Chopper held him alive and refused to let him go down.
Zoro and the others began to seriously discuss the issue of pointer records.
Zoro: "There are some things that Luffy said are right. Anyway, we still have to go down and ask about the situation of the Log Pose. It's okay if the time is short, just in case if it takes too long..."
Nami gritted her teeth and said: "If it really doesn't work, let's ask if there is anyone in this city who can sell the Eternal Pose to Marineford!"
At the end of the discussion, they inevitably had to go down.
So, Luffy happily set foot on this strange city.
Although Nami and the others have repeatedly reminded him that they didn't come down to play. As long as they bought the Eternal Pose pointing to Marinefordo, they would set off immediately, but Luffy was already smiling, stepping into the city with a playful mood.
Actually, it's not that Luffy doesn't worry about Ace's life.
It was Luffy who believed in Li Yaoxiang.
Because Li Yaoxiang once said that the goal of the World Government is him. Therefore, as long as he doesn't procrastinate for too long, the other party will not rashly attack in advance.
He has always believed in what Li Yaoxiang said, so he has always maintained such a hearty attitude and faced everything.
After a while.
After being exposed to the friendliness of Luffy and his party, the people in the capital of Water 7 are not as flustered as before. Some people were even bold enough to rush to take pictures with the golden boat.
Just like that, everything slowly returned to its original state.
Iceburg also went to receive Luffy and his party according to Spandam's instructions.
There was nothing wrong with the whole process.
It's just that when Spandam saw that Nico Robin was also among Luffy's group, he had bad thoughts on the spot and had new ideas.
Immediately afterwards, just like the original book, he ordered his subordinates to contact Nico Robin.
Nico Robin did accept the appointment.
However, when facing Spandam, she is not as timid as in the original book.
In a secret room.
Spandam sat in the secret room waiting for a long time.
As soon as Nico Robin sat down, Spandam said with a dark smile: "Congratulations, Nico Robin. It seems that you have found a new partner."
Nico Robin said coldly: "Say it straight, what do you need from me?"
Nico Robin's attitude made Spandam a little different, but he still didn't give up. He took out a golden phone bug from his pocket to test it out: "This phone bug... surely you can't forget it?"
Sure enough, Nico Robin's expression changed immediately when she saw this phone bug.
This phone bug is the tool that destroyed her hometown back then.
The phone bug has a button on its shell.
As long as that button is pressed, it means that a large number of naval warships will be dispatched to destroy everything at the target location.
Nico Robin said with an ugly face: "What do you mean?"
Spandam: "It's nothing, I just want to tell you, if you are willing to do me a small favor and join me, maybe I can help you intercede and let the World Government revoke your wanted warrant..."
Nico Robin: "What do you want me to do?"
Spandam: "It's very simple, as long as you help me deal with Monkey D. Luffy. This matter should not be difficult for you, right? After all, you have not been looking for partners just to protect you from disasters?"
Nico Robin: "..."
...
After Nico Robin and Spandam Agent finished, they returned to Luffy and the others.
Not long after, news spread from the entire capital of Water 7.
Mayor Iceburg was attacked and injured.
The murderer pointed directly at the Straw Hats.
Claimed that they came here to occupy the capital of the Water 7.
As a result, the capital of the Water 7 of course fell into chaos again. The shipwrights were not afraid of death, they all ran to trouble Luffy and the others.
Things have developed to this point, and for Spandam, everything is going very smoothly.
With shipwrights dealing with Luffy, they can naturally test out the strength of Luffy and others, and they can sit back and watch the tigers fight.
In case Luffy is a paper tiger, that would be the best.
They can take Luffy down on the spot.
In case the strength of Luffy and others is really beyond their reach, the matter of the thief blaming has been done. They can evacuate early, and then blow up the entire capital of Water 7.
Spandam and the others have indeed seen the strength of Luffy and his party.
So, they no longer hesitated, and immediately boarded the boat and evacuated the capital of Water 7.
But when Spandam pressed the button to control the bomb, he realized that no matter how much he pressed the button, there was no response.
They planted nearly a hundred bombs all over the capital of Water 7, but none of them detonated.
At this moment, Arlong's voice suddenly came from the boat: "Are you looking for these things?"
After all, Arlong dropped a lot of destroyed bombs.
Spandam first showed a look of panic, and then immediately glared at Nico Robin: "Nico Robin! You betrayed me?!"
