Spandam ran away at the first possible moment.
He had already thought of how to report this matter.
"The CP9 agents acted privately without informing me, resulting in all members being captured."
As long as the Five Elders did not personally ask about it, the deaths of a few agents usually meant nothing.
Besides, his father was a CP0 commander. A small matter like this could still be handled.
On the other side, Kalifa, whose explosive figure could not be hidden even beneath her black cloak, was moving quickly.
From the corner of her eye, she glanced toward Lucci.
Then she saw the CP agent known as the strongest in eight hundred years get knocked down with a single punch.
Kalifa was shocked. Just as she prepared to speed up and escape—
Crackle!
Lightning exploded in front of her.
Nami appeared there.
Kalifa stopped and looked at the smiling girl in front of her.
"Nami, navigator. Bounty, one hundred million berries. Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit user."
Nami smiled brightly.
"Well, White Bro said that since you came here, you can't leave. Otherwise, we'll lose too much face."
Kalifa looked at Nami warily.
She did not think she could outspeed the girl in front of her.
Kalifa gathered strength in her legs and kicked fiercely.
"Tempest Kick!"
Looking at the incoming air slash, Nami did not move at all. Her chubby little face was still smiling.
Whoosh.
The slash passed through Nami's body, but no blood splashed.
Kalifa's eyes widened as she stared at the scene.
At the place where Nami's body had been cut open, lightning flickered. Before long, it healed back together.
Kalifa's face beneath the mask turned extremely ugly.
"So this is what makes Logia powers terrifying?"
Nami pointed a finger at her.
"If we need to capture you alive, then ten million volts should be enough."
Seeing lightning flicker on the girl's finger, Kalifa's first instinct screamed danger. She pushed off hard with her feet.
Just as she was about to dodge, a thin bolt of lightning shot from Nami's hand and struck her.
Boom!
The lightning hit her body, blasting apart the black cloak outside and revealing her fiery figure.
Kalifa instantly lost the ability to move. Black smoke rose from her entire body.
If she had not trained her body since childhood, this one attack would have directly knocked her unconscious.
Nami walked over to her and glanced at the black fishnet stockings on her legs, then curled her lips.
"I don't know if White Bro has taken a fancy to you or not, but he told us to capture you alive. Hmph, how annoying."
Kalifa collapsed on the ground. Hearing that, her heart trembled as she remembered one of White Ghost's nicknames on the sea.
The Starving Ghost of Lust.
"Am I going to…"
Before Kalifa could finish speaking, Nami picked her up and flew toward the ship.
The other CP9 agents were also stopped one by one, each with their own opponent.
Chopper, who had lived far better than in the original path, had trained under White Ghost's requirements. With the use of all kinds of body-enhancing medicines, his body after using his ability had already become very strong, about the same as after two years of training in the original path.
"Chapapapa! Your fists are weak and soft, just like the cotton candy you love eating."
Fukurou's right cheek was swollen, but his mouth was still stubborn as he mocked him.
Chopper's left cheek was also swollen as he mocked back,
"You're the one with cotton fists. There's no power at all."
"What did you say?!"
One man and one reindeer roared at the same time, their eyes bloodshot, then began punching and kicking each other.
While fighting, they kept mocking each other's punches for having no strength.
Bang!
Chopper punched him back, then gathered strength in his legs.
Crack!
The ground split open, and Chopper closed in rapidly, his eyes wide.
"I'm a reindeer who's going to become a real man!"
Fukurou refused to back down and clenched his fist.
"With you? You think you can become a real man?"
"Strong Deer Fist!"
"Beast Strike!"
Bang!
Their fists collided, and a white shockwave spread from the center.
The next second, Chopper pushed harder. Fukurou ran out of strength and was knocked down by one punch.
Boom!
Fukurou was slammed into the ground, leaving a small crater beneath him.
Chopper looked at him with a bruised face and swollen nose, breathing two streams of air through his nostrils.
"Manly Chopper."
White Ghost stood at the bow, watching proud Chopper with the corner of his mouth lifted.
This guy had finally grown up.
White Ghost turned his gaze toward Bepo's side.
Bepo was fighting Kumadori back and forth.
Although Bepo had only started training not long ago, his foundation was very solid.
Like Chopper, he had also been enhanced by a large amount of body-strengthening medicine.
"Hi-hi-hi-yo!"
Bepo's shadowless kicks rapidly struck toward his opponent.
Clang, clang, clang!
Kumadori held his metal staff and blocked Bepo's attacks.
It was obvious he was struggling.
After all, Bepo was a Mink, and his strength was astonishing. Combined with the force techniques White Ghost had taught him, Kumadori was being suppressed the whole time.
Bang!
Bepo kicked his opponent away, stepped on Geppo, and jumped into the air with both arms spread wide.
"White Bear Spreads Wings!"
White Ghost clicked his tongue in amazement.
Bepo was simply a fighting genius. After reading the secret manuals White Ghost had collected, who knew how many things this guy had learned?
"That polar bear is so cute."
Robin watched Bepo showing off his might with wide eyes and praised him.
White Ghost wrapped an arm around her slender waist.
In any case, Elena and the others had not come to watch the excitement, so they could not see it.
Robin did not act shy either. She naturally leaned against him and calmly watched the battle ahead.
Right now, her heart was very calm.
She was not worried about an Admiral or anyone else coming to capture her.
Because this man would not hand her over.
Bang!
Bepo punched Kumadori in the face.
"You bastard."
Kumadori planted his metal staff into the ground and brought his hands together.
"Life Return: Release."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Bepo dodged the strands of hair and stood to the side, looking at him curiously.
"Can your hair move on its own?"
"Nonsense. If a bear like you can talk, why can't my hair move?"
Kumadori looked at him angrily.
"Sorry."
Bepo immediately lowered his head and apologized.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Kumadori seized the chance and controlled his hair to rush over, trying to bind him.
"Shave."
Bepo flashed to the side and looked at him innocently.
"I know Life Return too, but my fur can't do that."
As he spoke, Bepo knocked his fists together.
"Life Return: White Bear Warrior."
Buzz.
Bepo's body swelled by a full circle, and his whole body emitted a dangerous aura.
Bepo exerted strength through his feet, and the hair that had just wrapped around him was immediately shaken away.
"What?!"
Kumadori's face paled.
This bear had become even stronger than before.
"I'm coming."
After saying that, Bepo vanished from where he stood.
"So fast."
Kumadori's eyes darted around, searching for Bepo's position.
"Are you looking for me?"
Bepo appeared at his side and punched out.
Bang!
Before Kumadori could even release Iron Body, he was sent flying by one punch.
Kumadori flew backward, and before he could make another move, Bepo flashed beside him again and punched continuously.
"Bear Bear Rapid Fists!"
Bang, bang, bang!
After taking several punches, Kumadori spat out a large mouthful of blood and lost consciousness.
Bepo folded his arms across his chest, his face full of pride.
"I am the strongest bear of the Mink Tribe."
