Chapter 137He's Going to Do It!Chapter 198: Opening the ChampagneInside the wreckage of a carriage from the sea train, rocketman, the atmosphere was somewhat stagnant.The underlings of the Franky Family, each one bruised and swollen, stared with burning eyes at the Straw Hat crew.They had originally thought that after rescuing Robin, this group of audacious pirates would do what most pirates do—quit while they were ahead and quickly evacuate this den of trouble.They had already prepared themselves mentally; even if it was just their own group, they would risk their lives to charge into Enies Lobby and rescue their boss, Franky.However, what did they just hear?"Let's go, Robin! Let's go turn that bullshit Enies Lobby upside down!"Luffy stood at the edge of the carriage, his voice not loud but clearly reaching everyone. He looked toward the Franky Family, "Isn't your group's boss captured? Then let's rescue him while we're at it.""Eh?!!"The jaws of every member of the Franky Family hit the floor in unison, their eyes bulging wide."You guys... still want to go to Enies Lobby?"Zambai, the representative of the Franky Family, spoke with a trembling voice, unsure if it was from fear or excitement.Nami held her forehead; although she had long expected this, hearing it again made her blood pressure soar: "I knew it! Once this idiot Captaindecides on something, not even eight Sea Kingscould pull him back!"Eight?That was still underestimating Luffy.Zoro grinned ferociously as he gripped the wado ichimonji: "Suits me just fine. I was just looking to stretch my limbs."Sanji blew out a ring of smoke. "To let Miss Robinbe frightened like that... it wouldn't be right if we didn't return the favor properly."Usopp's legs were shaking, but he forced himself to stand tall: "Of—of course! I am a brave warrior of the sea!"Chopper hid behind Usopp but nodded along: "Yeah! We're going to send everyone who bullied Robin flying!"Seeing the Straw Hat crew showing no fear and even looking eager for the fight, Zambai suddenly wiped the blood and sweat from his face. This rugged man's eyes instantly turned red, and his voice choked up: "You... you guys... *sob*... you're really too kind!"Waaaah!His crying was like flipping a switch; dozens of burly men from the Franky Family actually hugged each other and cried like children."Waaaah, big brother, stop crying! If you cry, I want to cry too!""This is too touching, Straw Hat big brothers!"Luffy found their crying a bit baffling and tilted his head: "What are you crying for? We're just doing what we want to do."However, when he heard that the Franky Familywere all shipwrights, his eyes lit up.Shipwrights were good; they really needed a shipwright."Luffy, I support your decision. But we must have a clear objective. Declaring war on the World Government—how exactly are we going to do that? If we stay in Enies Lobby for too long, reinforcements from Marineford will quickly arrive through the Gates of Justice. We might get surrounded then."Vivi stepped forward. Though her heart was racing, her logic as a princess kept her calm. "We need to make a decision in advance."Right, what exactly counts as declaring war?According to Luffy's personality, just sending all the enemies flying would be enough.But...Just like the endless stream of pirates, the Marines were also inexhaustible.If they fell into a Marine encirclement, the continuous flow of Marines would put his companions in danger.In Luffy's mind, declaring war didn't mean a fight to the death.Moreover, he checked the time for the plan."It's almost time. Let's declare war and go."At that moment, Barry, whose wounds had been briefly treated by Chopper, leaned against the carriage wall and spoke weakly: "The... the flag of the World Government hangs on the tallest building in Enies Lobby. That flag symbolizes the World Government's authority here. If that flag were destroyed..."He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.Oh?That's even simpler.Luffy's eyes instantly lit up.He grinned with his signature smile and turned to the still-sobbing Franky Family: "Hey, you guys go rescue your boss. Leave the enemies on Enies Lobby to us!"Franky Family: "???""Yes! Straw Hat big brother!"The Franky Family responded in unison, their morale soaring."Vivi's status is special; it's better if she doesn't get involved. Directly participating in an attack on a World Government facility would have too big an impact."Nami was thinking ahead and said to Vivi: "Leave the battle at Enies Lobby to us.""I won't stay out of this!"Vivi said: "I can use the power of the Wind-Wind Fruit to help you from the going merry.""Although I can't participate directly in the fight, I will use my wind to safeguard you. As long as it's within Enies Lobby, wherever the wind can reach will be my eyes and ears!"Regarding the development of her Logia-type Devil Fruit, Vivi had been making rapid progress during her recent special training with Luffy.Vivi hadn't developed many offensive skills. Back on Sky Island, she had heard the Sky Islanders talk about Mantra—an omnipresent perception. The wind of a Logia type was also everywhere.So why couldn't she put effort into that area?Now, through the uniqueness of the Wind-Wind Fruit, Vivi's perceptive abilities were not weaker than Eneru's."Me too, me too."Nika raised his hand: "My identity is also sensitive, right? I'll stay on the going merry with Vivi and Merry.""That works."Luffy adjusted his Straw Hat. "Then it's decided."Target: Enies Lobby!Meanwhile, inside the first carriage that had already separated from the rear and was speeding toward the main island of Enies Lobby.Franky had been fitted with heavy Sea Stoneshackles again and was thrown into a corner like a pile of mud. But there wasn't a trace of dejection on his face; instead, he had a slightly mocking sneer as he watched the CP9 members in the oppressive atmosphere of the carriage, feeling secretly delighted.He had witnessed with his own eyes how Luffyhad defeated CP9 with overwhelming force.These perverts in black suits finally kicked a steel plate. Serves them right!Rob Lucci sat on a sofa, his injuries seemingly not affecting him much. He was holding a transponder snail.*Bulu bulu.**Bulu bulu.*The transponder snail connected, mimicking a face with a ridiculous little mustache and an arrogant expression."Moshi moshi, is that Lucci? How's the mission coming along?""You've got Nico Robin and the Pluton blueprints, right?""I've already opened the champagne and am just waiting for you to return for the celebration! Hahaha, after achieving such a great feat, my promotion and raise are just around the corner, Spandam!"Spandam's smug voice came from the other end of the transponder snail. He seemed to have started celebrating early; the sound of clinking glasses could even be heard in the background.He'd already opened the champagne.Lucci remained expressionless, his cold voice interrupting his fantasies: "Mission failed. Nico Robin was rescued by Straw Hat Luffy."Chapter 199: Straw Hat Luffy is Unstoppable"Nani?!!"The smile on the other side of the transponder snail instantly froze, as if a pause button had been pressed.A dead silence followed for over ten seconds.Then, Spandam shrieked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on:"Are you kidding me? Rescued? What the hell are you guys good for? The entire CP9 was deployed and you couldn't even bring back one Devil Child?""Lucci, do you know what this means? My promotion plan and my future are all ruined!"A string of unbearable curses and interrogations poured out of the transponder snail like rapid-fire cannonballs.Lucci just listened expressionlessly. It wasn't until Spandam was somewhat out of breath and his voice lowered slightly that he spoke coldly:"Are you done cursing?""You!"Spandam was choked with rage, the transponder snail's expression turning furious: "I am your superior, you damn pigeon bastard.""I need all the detailed information on Straw HatMonkey D. Luffy right now."Lucci completely ignored Spandam. "Also, the reward of two Devil Fruits you promised us for completing the mission—I want them immediately."Hearing this, Spandam seemed to find an outlet for his frustration and couldn't help but start blabbering again:"What is this 'Straw Hat'? Which corner of the world did this pirate crawl out of?""A name I've never even heard of, and you CP9 were actually defeated by such a character? I'm starting to wonder if your strength has declined because you were undercover in Water 7 for too long!""The mission failed, and now you still want Devil Fruits?""Spandam,"Lucci's voice suddenly dropped to freezing point. Even through the transponder snail, that cold killing intent was clearly transmitted, "Remember what I said. Otherwise, I won't be able to stop myself from coming back right now to kill you."Spandam on the other end of the transponder snailinstantly fell silent, as if an invisible hand had throttled him, only able to make gasping sounds.*Click.*Lucci directly hung up the transponder snail."Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!!"Inside his office in the Tower of Justice, Spandamexasperatedly smashed the wine glass in his hand onto the floor, expensive liquor and glass shards flying everywhere.He roared madly at the now-silent transponder snail: "Lucci, you damn subordinate, how dare you threaten your superior! CP9 are all a bunch of ungrateful wolves!"To ensure this mission was foolproof, he had sent out almost all the CP9 forces he could mobilize, never expecting this kind of result.Nico Robin was lost, leaving only one Franky and the Pluton blueprints. The merit was greatly diminished.To prevent even this remaining mission result from meeting with an accident, Spandam suppressed his fury, grabbed another transponder snail, and shouted at the top of his lungs:"Pass down my order! All forces on Enies Lobbyare to enter Level 1 combat readiness immediately and seal all entrances! The Straw Hat Pirates are likely coming!""Who are the Straw Hat Pirates? How should I know! Just go carry out the order!"...The atmosphere in the first carriage was oppressive."Pfft, hahaha."Franky, in the corner, couldn't help but laugh out loud. "How pathetic."The CP9 members all looked displeased, but no one paid attention to Franky's mockery."That Straw Hat kid is truly terrifying. Our mission actually failed. We in CP9 can even assassinate Revolutionary Army executives, yet in his hands, even with all of us attacking together, we were almost wiped out."Jabra stood up shakily, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Lucci with lingering fear.If Lucci hadn't made the split-second decision to disconnect the carriage, they would likely have been annihilated.His words were filled with a sense of defeat. The pride of CP9 had been smashed to pieces at this moment.Lucci sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, seemingly processing every detail of the battle just now.He suddenly spoke, his voice raspy:"Jabra, how much do you know about this Straw Hat kid?"As a member who frequently executed missions abroad, Jabra's information sources were relatively broader.He gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "Give it up, Lucci."
