One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 945 Hostages and Signals

"What! Kelly hasn't returned yet!"

In the evening, Franky, who had just finished discussing something with Iceberg, received a call from the shipyard as soon as he went out. The shipbuilder on the other end of the phone asked when Franky and Kelly would come back. Only then did Franky realize that Kelly had not returned yet.

"No? She hasn't come back. She left with you and has been here ever since. We all want to ask if you're still going to work today. If not, let's go have a drink."

The shipbuilder on the opposite side did not react to Franky's surprise and continued to ask.

"Damn it! She went back in the afternoon! It's been at least six hours now!"

Franky shouted anxiously, and this one sentence made the shipbuilder on the opposite side understand the seriousness of the matter.

"What! Something's broken! Are they those people from this morning?"

The first person the shipwright thought of was Spandam and his group who had come during the day. Although in the shipwright's opinion, those rotten garlics could not pose any threat to Kelly with their strength, but no one could guarantee that the other party had a backup plan. After all, the other party was from the World Government. This place was also close to the Judicial Island. If people came from there by car, it would take less than three hours to get there. Kelly had disappeared for six hours. If these guys really did something, Kelly would be in danger!

"I don't know! But you never know. Quick, notify everyone to go look for them together! Oh, and send someone to ask the people at the dock to see if those guys have left. Don't let them get away on the sea train!"

Franky said this and turned back to Iceberg's house. He needed Iceberg's help in this matter. After all, he was just a foreman, and many things still required the mayor Iceberg to step in and coordinate.

"Let's help too! After all, this is our shipbuilder!"

Just after Franky finished speaking, suddenly, Luffy's voice was heard from the Den Den Mushi. They had not left for the whole day and had been staying in the shipyard because Luffy had a sudden idea and wanted to invite Kairi to be their partner. Nami and the others couldn't persuade him and could only wait along. As a result, they started to help.

Although Luffy has no other abilities, he still has strength, and he helped to carry some things. Since he can stretch and retract at will, he helped to transport some things and won unanimous praise from the shipbuilders. Zoro and Kuina helped to cut the wooden boards, and Chopper used local materials and began to help the shipbuilders who have been working all year round to treat their old problems in the waist, elbows and shoulders. Usopp was probably the person who knew the most about manufacturing problems among the people present. He took a hammer and started to join the work with clanging sounds. Only Nami had no place to show her skills, but Nami was not idle either. She rolled up her sleeves and began to prepare orange juice for everyone. As a child of an orange farmer, Nami's orange juice was unanimously praised by everyone. As a result, they worked until the evening, and Kairi had not returned yet.

"Hmm? Straw Hat Boys? You guys are still here. More people means more eyes. You can help look for them together. Those CP guys are still haunting us."

At this moment, Franky has already determined in his heart that it was the CP people who did it, because there was no need for others to attack Kelly, it could only be those CP people.

"Bang, iceberg! This way I am!"

Franky pushed open the door and was about to speak when Iceberg interrupted him. In front of Iceberg at this moment was a Den Den Mushi, and a voice that Franky felt was familiar came from it.

"What do you think? Mr. Iceberg, Mayor Iceberg, this is the only student of you and Mr. Franky, the descendant of your Tom lineage. Isn't she worth more than a blueprint?"

Spandam's voice came from the Den Den Mushi. That's right. After Spandam received the call from CP9 about Kelly, he first found a place to hide. He also knew that he was no match for the other party, so hiding was the most appropriate thing to do. After hiding for a while, Spandam finally found a suitable safe house and sent someone to guard the door. He immediately started to call Iceberg. As the mayor, Iceberg's Den Den Mushi number was public, so Spandam could easily find out. Originally, Iceberg was going to hang up the phone directly, but the other party said right away that Kelly was in their hands.

"I've said it many times, the design drawings are not in my hands. Mr. Tom has given them to someone else, and we don't know who they are." Bingshan said while holding the Den Den Mushi. He was also helpless. They gave the design drawings to Yamato and others the day before, but the CP people came to them. If Bingshan didn't know that the relationship between the Four Emperors and the World Government was more incompatible than fire and water, he would probably have thought that this was a trap set by someone.

"It seems that Mr. Iceberg really won't cry until he sees the coffin. How about this, this girl seems to have only one arm, right? Anyway, there is a mechanical arm, and the original one is not that useful, right? If, I mean if, I can't get the design drawings by noon tomorrow, then you will receive one arm of this girl, and you will receive a leg tomorrow night, and the other leg the day after tomorrow morning. If there is still nothing after noon the day after tomorrow, then you will receive her head. How about it? Very merciful, isn't it? I have given you one night and one morning. If you have figured it out, call me tomorrow at noon."

Spandam hung up the phone arrogantly. He didn't believe that the design drawings had been given to others. These guys couldn't give such valuable things to others. It must still be in the hands of Tom's two students. Now he had Kelly as a card in his hand. He was invincible. He believed that the other party would definitely trade with him. After all, they were all good people. In this world, being a good person meant being pointed at by a gun.

"Hey! You guys, keep an eye on that woman. Don't let her get away. This is the key to our success. Do you understand? If anything goes wrong with her, you won't be able to compensate her!"

Spandam covered his cheek and said, during the handover, Kelly suddenly woke up. Although she failed to escape, she successfully punched Spandam. The punch from the mechanical arm almost knocked Spandam's head crooked. Although Spandam was a useless scum, it must be said that this guy's health bar is definitely thick enough. In the original timeline, he survived even after his spine was broken by Robin. Although his jaw was dislocated after taking Kelly's punch, it was still not a big deal. He just still feels uncomfortable in his jaw.

"Yes."

The two CP5 agents greeted each other listlessly. In their opinion, they had already removed Kelly's mechanical arms, so what else could possibly happen? In two days, it was impossible for them to find this small building that had long been submerged in water and only the top floor was open for the other party to stay.

Just when the CP5 agents felt they had won, Kelly slowly woke up from the room where she was imprisoned. Feeling her empty right arm, Kelly began to think about what had happened before. However, although she didn't know why the other party captured her, there was no doubt that she was not worth that much. The other party's real target was definitely not her, but something in the hands of her master or uncle. She was the other party's hostage.

"It's not that easy to take me as a hostage."

Kelly tried to move her body as much as possible. Perhaps these guys were afraid that she would move again, so they not only dismantled her robotic arm, but also locked it tightly. However, they probably didn't expect that she had a trick up her sleeve in other places.

Kelly kept twisting her body, and finally, she aimed her right shoulder at the wall and gently bumped it.

"Crack!"

A small raised button in the part that was originally used to connect with the robotic arm was pressed. Suddenly, the remaining mechanical part of Kelly's body began to glow with a faint red light, and Kelly turned sideways to block the red light as much as possible to avoid being discovered.

"Here comes the signal! I knew this girl wouldn't just sit there and wait for death!"

On the other side, Franky, who was looking for Kelly's whereabouts, took out an instrument like a Dragon Ball radar from his pocket, looked at the faint model on it, and said with surprise on his face.

"What! Where is it!"

Luffy, who was searching together, immediately asked.

"In the old town, everyone gather! Kelly has given the signal! Let's go! Follow me to kill those CP bastards!"
