Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

With Issho's help, Kuina began to train in Observation Haki.

Perhaps it won't be long before Kuina is able to master Observation Haki.

Kuina smoothed her hair: "Mr. Yixiao said I have a swordsman's 'intuition' and that I can try to cultivate in that direction. The results are indeed quite good."

Thanks to Issho's advice, she touched the threshold of Observation Haki.

Although he is not yet able to use it freely, his perception has been greatly improved.

Only then could one perceive Bruno's hint of "malice" beforehand.

While Lockes and his companions chatted as if no one else was around, their earlier conversation had reached the ears of those present...

Many people in the room had a change in expression.

In particular, the three people involved—Lucci, Kaku, and Kalifa—appeared astonished and bewildered, their expressions eventually turning into deep confusion and anger…

Bruno was defeated, and their identities were exposed.

It was said in front of everyone.

This means...

Their mission was utterly failed at this moment!

"..."

Lucci had no idea what the problem was.

His face was so dark it could drip water: "How did you find out our identities? Black-haired swordsmen!"

Even if Bruno were discovered, he shouldn't be able to detect their identities.

How did "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks know their identities?

“Eiichiro Oda told me.”

Rocks made a sarcastic remark.

He said to Lucci, "I sensed some malice from you just now. You're looking for an opportunity to kill me, aren't you?"

"Speaking of which, the Seven Warlords of the Sea and CP9 are both forces under the World Government. This guy is no match for me. You can come at me together, Rob Lucci."

"Oda Eiichiro..."

Lu Qi's eyes sharpened, becoming more serious.

The other party not only knew who Eiichiro Oda was, but also knew that he was a member of CP9, and even knew his name...

Where did the intelligence come from?

Has the World Government been infiltrated?

Anyway, he remembered the name; he'll need to investigate it thoroughly later...

"You're actually from the World Government?"

The CP9 members were astonished and confused, while Esbag felt disbelief and anger at being deceived: "Lucci, Kalifa, Kaku!!"

The person he trusted turned out to be a member of the World Government's intelligence agency.

The other party is infiltrating Carrera Corporation...

Could it be for that thing?!

The thought sent chills down Aisbagu's spine.

When his teacher entrusted him with the "Pluto design blueprints" for safekeeping, he solemnly told him this.

The design blueprints must not fall into the hands of world governments.

Fortunately, he had never taken out the "Pluto blueprints" before, and they were no longer in his possession...

Others at Carrera, such as several foremen, wore similar expressions to Espargo.

They all glared angrily at the three of them...

"I never expected to be exposed in this way, what a hassle..."

Lucci could no longer maintain his composure.

This mission is of paramount importance.

If it fails...

The world government will definitely hold them accountable!

"Kaku, Kalifa, the infiltration mission has failed. The mission objective has been changed. Eliminate anyone present who knows the truth and forcibly take Esbag away!"

Lucci would not allow the mission to fail.

Now that we've been exposed, we'll stop hiding.

Choose the method most likely to succeed.

They forcibly took away the target, Esbagu.

As for those who know the truth here... eliminate them all!

"Lord Hanafuda, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, we are CP9, a secret intelligence agency of the World Government, and we need your help now."

After glancing at everyone in the room, Lucci finally looked at the Hanafuda cards.

He said in a deep voice, "At the same time, we have a common enemy. How about we join forces to kill 'Black-haired Swordsman' Rocks?"

He might not be able to defeat the black-haired swordsman by himself alone.

However, there is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea here.

The other party is also a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the World Government.

Now that we have a common enemy, we can join forces to deal with the black-haired swordsman!

"Hahaha, how interesting, are you from the World Government?"

Upon hearing this, Hanazha grinned and said, "Although I look down on people like you."

"But this guy is indeed difficult to deal with, so let's take him out first!"

Although he was eccentric and arrogant, he wasn't a brainless person.

Teaming up to take down the black-haired swordsman is a good option.

He wasn't the kind of pirate who valued morality; he was willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals.

Because he was defeated by "Fire Fist" Ace, many people on the high seas began to question his abilities and strength.

This will inevitably affect how world governments view him.

In order for Kaido's plan to be implemented smoothly, he also needs the position of Shichibukai.

If we could defeat the black-haired swordsman here, the World Government probably wouldn't consider removing him from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Teaming up with CP9 wouldn't do him any harm; in fact, it would be a good thing...

"That's how it should be, otherwise it would be too boring..."

Lox licked his lips, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

Then he said to Kuina beside him, "Kuina, you can handle the one with the long nose. Robin, you should be able to handle the other one, right?"

"As for Nami... you go stay with that group of people and make sure you're safe. Yixiao and Xiaoyi are also on their way back."

Kuina should have no problem dealing with Kaku.

Robin should have no problem dealing with Kalifa.

Nami shouldn't join in the fun. Just stay with the people from the Carrera Company and make sure you're safe.

"it is good!"

Kuina didn't say much. After responding, she drew her Wado Ichimonji.

His sharp gaze was fixed on Kaku, and a faint aura of sword energy was surging around him!

"You consider me an opponent? And this aura... truly befits someone who is the 'Black-Haired Swordsman's' partner..."

Under Kuina's sharp gaze, Kaku's expression also turned serious.

The aura emanating from the other person alone made him feel a chill run down his spine.

The opponent was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, causing a faint cutting sensation on his skin...

"Oh dear, I'm actually not very good at fighting."

Robin's gaze fell on Kalifa, who had an excellent appearance and figure.

He gave a composed smile: "But since it's the captain's order, I have no choice but to do my best..."

Previously, she had to evade the pursuit of the CP organization and was afraid of them.

I never imagined I would be able to face them directly one day.

This time, it's someone else who's feeling fear...

““The Devil’s Child” Nico Robin? I never expected such a dangerous person as you to become the black-haired swordsman’s ally. I didn’t receive a single piece of information about it…”

Kalifa pushed up her glasses.

Naturally, they also recognized Nico Robin.

This also explains why Bruno was exposed.

When faced with someone like Nico Robin, the "Devil's Child," who is defined as a threat by the World Government, Koyasu, as a member of CP9, could not possibly ignore it...

"Then it's up to you guys. I'm cheering you on!"

Nami knew she couldn't help in the battle, so she obeyed Rocks's orders.

She walked toward the Carrera company people.

He waved and greeted them, then, feigning superiority, said, "Hey everyone, did you hear what my captain said?"

"Remember to protect me, or my captain will get angry!"

Carrera Company staff: "..."

The situation changed too quickly and was quite inexplicable.
