The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 350 CP0

"The pigeon man!!"

Luffy's eyes widened instantly. When he saw the familiar pigeon perched on Lucci's shoulder, he immediately recognized the opponent who had once given him a hard time. His face was filled with vigilance and seriousness.

"Two years have passed, and you're still as annoying as ever, Straw Hat Boy!"

As he spoke, Lucci slowly removed the white mask from his face.

As he did so, the other agents also removed their masks, revealing their true identities.

It was Rob Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, and Bruno.

"Are you here to fight?"

Upon seeing his old rivals, Zoro unconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, instantly entering a state of combat readiness. The other members of the Straw Hat crew also confronted the CP0 members.

"Although I really want to kill you, I have another mission this time."

As Lucci spoke, he strode steadily into the room, his gaze casually sweeping across the space. When he saw the remnants of Wano Country, his eyes were filled with disdain, and he sneered, "A bunch of scum."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, the samurai of Wano Country were instantly enraged. As the guardians of Wano Country, they possessed their own dignity and pride, and how could they tolerate such an insult? They immediately drew their swords, the gleaming blades flashing coldly under the lamplight, demonstrating their anger and determination.

"You didn't come here just to provoke me, did you?"

Seeing this, Marco quickly stepped forward and stood between the two sides. He frowned and stared intently at Lucci, trying to discern their true purpose from his expression and words. After all, the sudden appearance of CP0 here was definitely not a simple matter.

"Tch~"

Lu Qi pouted in dissatisfaction, a hint of impatience on his face, but he still began to explain.

It turns out that ever since Wes took control of Wano Country, he has stopped selling Seastone.

It's important to understand that Seastone is an extremely important strategic resource for the World Government, playing an indispensable role whether it's used to deal with Devil Fruit users or in many other aspects.

The World Government sent envoys to Wano Country several times to negotiate with Wes, but none of the envoys ever returned.

The World Government was thoroughly enraged by these repeated provocations. First, it dispatched agents from other CP organizations to try to cause some damage in Wano Country and force Wes to compromise.

However, those agents were discovered as soon as they entered Wano Country, and naturally, the agents were all wiped out, failing to cause any trouble at all.

It wasn't until the elite CP0 unit was finally dispatched that they managed to gather some useful intelligence.

As he spoke, Lu Qi took off his coat, revealing his muscular upper body, the strong muscles showcasing his immense power.

However, what attracted everyone's attention at this moment was a long scar that ran across his entire torso from his left shoulder, and the scar looked shocking.

"This is??"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

Lucci subconsciously reached out and touched the wound, a barely perceptible fear flashing in his eyes, and slowly said, "I was wounded by a sword when I infiltrated the castle tower to assassinate Wes Elwin."

"A sword??"

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew members couldn't help but gasp.

They had witnessed Lucci's strength firsthand, and in the past two years, Lucci's strength must have increased considerably. They never expected that such a formidable opponent would be so severely injured by a single sword strike. The person who did it must be incredibly powerful.

"If it weren't for my Devil Fruit awakening and Bruno's timely activation of the 'Door-Door Fruit' ability to help me escape, I would be dead."

Lu Qi still feels lingering fear when he recalls the scene; the feeling of being on the brink of life and death still haunts him.

"These useless people have no chance of winning."

Lucci looked at everyone present. Although his words were harsh, everyone understood that this was indeed the current reality.

Given their current individual strengths, it would be futile for them to try and fight Wes alone.

"So," Lucci paused, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, before finally saying in a deep voice, "join forces."

These two simple words stunned everyone present.

So this was the reason Lucci had come, and it was also an order from the Five Elders.

Wes's presence has become a thorn in the side for the Five Elders, making them extremely uneasy.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

He first defeated two of the Four Emperors, and his power expanded rapidly, breaking away from the control of the World Government. Wano Country is located in a strategically important and easily defensible area. In addition, the Revolutionary Army has become increasingly active in the past two years, and the World Government has had to send a large number of troops to suppress the Revolutionary Army. It simply does not have much spare power to deal with Wano Country, so it can only adopt the strategy of launching a surprise attack by elite teams to carry out a decapitation operation.

Although Lucci was extremely unwilling to join forces with the pirates, the Five Elders' orders were absolute to him and could not be disobeyed in the slightest, so they came directly to his door.

"Join forces with the World Government?!"

Neither the Straw Hat Pirates nor the Whitebeard Pirates expected this situation. Their first reaction was to refuse, given the long-standing animosity between them and their usual hostile relationship.

After careful consideration, they had to admit that, given their current strength, they were indeed at a disadvantage. If they could join forces with CP0, they might be able to increase their chances of winning, even if it was just a tiny bit.

After much hesitation, everyone finally agreed.

And so, the two originally hostile sides sat down and began to cooperate. The scene looked rather absurd, making one sigh that anything could happen in the ever-changing world of One Piece.

One has to admire CP0's intelligence-gathering ability; they actually have a very clear understanding of the situation in Wano Country.

"In just two years, Wano Country has been firmly under Wes Erwin's control." Lucci solemnly unfolded a map, laid it flat on the table, and pointed to it, saying, "He has mastered spatial abilities, allowing him to travel between Dressrosa and Wano Country in an instant."

"In other words, dividing our forces for combat is not advisable; we must concentrate all our strength to attack this place."

As Lucci spoke, he pointed to a spot on the map with his finger, which he marked prominently in red, clearly indicating that they considered it a key location.

"Where? Where?" Luffy's curiosity was immediately piqued. He leaned closer, his eyes wide, wanting to see more clearly.

"You're too close!! You bastard!!"

Lucci pushed Luffy's head away forcefully with a look of displeasure on his face. He couldn't stand Luffy's loud and unruly behavior, but he had no choice at the moment, since they still had to cooperate. He could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
