One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Chapter 72 Enies Lobby, Your Agent is Back (Please Subscribe!)

Tower of Justice, CP9 Council Hall.

Spandam paced anxiously back and forth in the council chamber while answering the phone.

"My Lord Five Elders, this mission failed, but it's really not my fault—"

"That agent named Foz-Foe, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

"Oh? You've already taken care of it—oh, okay, good job! Good job!"

"I will personally supervise the next mission; it will absolutely not fail!"

Spandam spoke respectfully to the person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, even bowing his head from time to time as if the person on the other end could see him.

After being scolded by the other party again, the Den Den Mushi was finally hung up.

Spandam sat down in his seat in the council chamber and slumped down, cold sweat pouring down his forehead and arms.

Not long ago, the Five Elders issued a mission to CP9 to escort a Devil Fruit in the East Blue.

He originally wanted Kitahara Tsune to take charge of this task, but Kitahara Tsune refused, and quite decisively.

Spandam had no choice but to follow the Air Marshal's instructions and send a veteran CP9 agent named Foz Foz to carry out the mission.

Unexpectedly, this mission, which should have been a sure thing, failed.

According to the investigation, the stolen Devil Fruit is called the "Gum-Gum Fruit".

The pirate crew that seized the Gum-Gum Fruit is called the Red-Haired Pirates, and its leader is Shanks, who has been famous on the Grand Line for a long time.

Spandam racked his brains but couldn't understand why a pirate of Shanks' caliber would set his sights on a tiny Devil Fruit.

And why would the Five Elders value a Devil Fruit so much?

Fortunately, the mission failed this time, and the Five Elders only reprimanded him.

He has already shifted the blame to Foz-F.

The other party has been dealt with by the Five Elders and imprisoned.

Just then, footsteps sounded from outside the door, getting closer and closer.

The doors to the council chamber opened, and a figure in a white suit walked in.

"Hey? Isn't this Commander Spandam? Why are you slumped over the table? Are you too tired? Are you retiring?"

A teasing voice rang out, and Kitahara Tsune entered the council hall.

The trial of the Donquixote Pirates has concluded. Enies Lobby, along with Vice Admiral Tsuru and other Marines, has dispatched troops to escort them to Impel Down.

Kitahara Tsuneo is not on this list.

And so, he appeared here.

"Kitahara Tsuneo? What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Kitahara Tsune, Spandam immediately stood up from his chair, straightened his collar, and once again adopted a dignified demeanor.

"Haha—" Kitahara Tsune chuckled and said jokingly, "You should still come back to visit your old employer once in a while."

Of course, this was just something he said casually.

His real purpose was to make his presence known within the CP9 team and ensure they didn't forget about him.

Although they may hear news about him frequently in the future.

Remembering Kitahara Tsuneo's decisive refusal of the mission to escort the Devil Fruit, Spandam narrowed his eyes suspiciously and looked at Kitahara Tsuneo, asking, "Do you remember the mission I wanted to assign you last time?"

"What's wrong?" Kitahara Tsune raised an eyebrow, casually sat down on a chair, and asked, "The mission failed?"

"Where did you get this information?" Spandine immediately retorted upon hearing Kitahara Tsune's report of the mission's failure. "Where did I get this information? I guessed," Kitahara Tsune replied with a serious expression. "The East Blue is a place teeming with powerful figures; it's not a place for ordinary people to venture into."

"You brat!" Spandam gritted his teeth and glared at him after hearing this obviously nonsensical talk. "What are you doing here? If you have nothing to say, you can leave."

Just then, a series of footsteps came from the doorway.

Pushing open the door, Kalifa walked in, wearing high heels and a professional 0L outfit.

Upon seeing Kitahara Tsune sitting on the sofa, Kalifa immediately stopped and gracefully walked into the council hall.

Her cheeks flushed slightly as she said to Kitahara Tsune, "Kitahara Tsune, I just heard you were here, so I rushed over—"

Kalifa's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz.

"Hmm, Kalifa, long time no see, you've grown taller!"

Kitahara Tsune nodded to Kalifa in greeting.

More than half a year has passed since he left the CP department, and the members of the CP team have also changed.

"What about the others?" Kitahara Tsune asked.

Kalifa is a dedicated clerical worker in the CP team, responsible for liaising with other members.

"As usual, we're mostly out there carrying out our duties."

"Your timing for coming back at this time is really unfortunate."

Just as Kitahara Tsune and Kalifa were chatting and laughing, a panting figure caught up with them into the council hall.

He is Spandam, the son of Commander Spandam.

Upon seeing Kitahara Tsune, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, in the council hall, he was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Kitahara Tsune and shouted, "It's you! You captured Donquixote Doflamingo!"

He rushed to the council hall to tell his father that the Donquixote Pirates had been captured, and that they had been captured by Kitahara Tsune, a former special agent!

"What did you say?" Spandam, who was sitting behind his desk, suddenly stood up, no longer the respectable man he had been before.

As the commander of CP9, even if he lacked the ability, he knew about Donquixote Doflamingo.

That's a mysterious new star that has emerged in the underworld in recent years.

That guy practically monopolized the entire intermediary-related market and was known as the "Dark Intermediary".

Moreover, according to recent investigations, the other party seems to be interested in entering the arms market.

Unexpectedly, such a person was actually captured, and by Kitahara Tsuneo no less.

Thinking of this, Spandam shuddered. If such a powerful subordinate were to rebel, wouldn't his personal safety be in jeopardy?

Upon hearing this, Kalifa gasped in surprise, covering her mouth as she looked at Kitahara Tsune. As an office worker, she naturally knew about Doflamingo.

If she remembered correctly, Doflamingo's bounty was close to 3 million.

Is Kitahara Tsune's strength really that great?

Kitahara Tsune, the person involved, wore a humble smile and waved his hand, saying, "Keep it down, keep it down, it's nothing—"

Having achieved half of his goal, Kitahara Tsuneo did not linger any longer.

He stood up and said to Kalifa, "Remember to tell the other team members this."

"Don't slack off during training, or I might knock you out in one move."

Hearing this, Kalifa rolled her eyes and said irritably, "How dare we, a group of people without talent, compare ourselves to your brilliant captain?"

"I also want to say, if we ever fall on hard times, please don't look down on us, Captain."
