"You… you… Air Force Pirates, why? You were clearly in the Grand Line… why are you here?"
At this moment, looking at the girls surrounding her, CP8 agent Alpha was completely bewildered.
Couldn't figure it out!
Absolutely couldn't figure it out!
Why would Roland's group, who had already entered the Grand Line, suddenly appear in the South Sea?
Even more puzzling was how Nami, the Little Cat Burglar, who should have been a mere 'vase,' had transformed into a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user.
If she had held onto any hope of escaping before, she was now utterly despairing.
Couldn't leave!
Couldn't leave at all!
"Confess and be lenient; resist and be severe. Who are you? What organization do you belong to?"
Vivi transformed into a prosecutor, asking with a convincing air of authority.
As she spoke, she pressed a button on the remote control in her hand.
Below the button were four characters: Forced Confession.
"I…"
Alpha wanted to say she was just a normal nurse.
However, her mouth was completely out of her control.
"My name is Alpha, an agent affiliated with the World Government CP8!"
"As expected, she's from the World Government!"
Kuina said in surprise.
"Continue. What is your mission in this country? And the entire backstory behind this!"
Vivi continued to interrogate.
"Everything began half a year ago when Bartholomew Kuma brought Bonney to Vegapunk's research institute, seeking Vegapunk's help to cure Bonney's incurable disease. Their conversation was overheard by the Five Elders…"
"Saturn made three demands to Tyrant Kuma: first, join the Shichibukai; second, Tyrant Kuma himself participate in human modification to be used by the Government; and finally, after Bonney fully recovers, Tyrant Kuma's personality will be completely erased. Only if he agrees to these three conditions will Bonney be saved!"
Alpha confessed everything without reservation.
Listening to the truth she revealed, the girls were all stunned on the spot.
"Wait… Tyrant Kuma… Shichibukai Tyrant Kuma, is he… is he Bonney's father?"
Nami's beautiful eyes suddenly widened. She never expected Bonney's father to be the famous Shichibukai.
"Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma. I once heard he was a member of the Revolutionary Army, and with Dragon, he liberated many countries, becoming one of the main forces against the Government. However…"
"More than half a year ago, he suddenly joined the Shichibukai, becoming a dog of the Government. This news once shocked the entire sea. I never thought the reason behind it was this—Kuma did it to save his daughter…"
Robin was equally shocked.
"Although I don't know who Shichibukai Tyrant Kuma is, he must love Bonney very, very much. For Bonney, he can even sacrifice his own life!"
Kuina's eyes were slightly red.
"Having one's personality completely erased is no different from death. In the end, Bonney's illness was cured, but Kuma… What an outrageous demand! What exactly have the Five Elders done?!"
Vivi clenched her delicate fists, her small face filled with indignation.
"So, what stage is Kuma's modification at now?"
Nami asked.
"It hasn't entered the final stage yet. Bonney's treatment is basically over. Before Kuma is completely modified, she will be under the Government's surveillance, and Tyrant Kuma is not allowed to have any contact with Bonney…"
Three minutes later, Alpha confessed everything she knew.
After confirming there was no missing information, Nami and Vivi acted together.
One pressed the remote control, and the other activated the electric current, instantly putting Alpha into a deep coma.
"A father willing to sacrifice for his daughter… Bonney, who has always looked forward to traveling with her father…"
The girls exchanged glances, reaching a consensus in an instant.
They absolutely, absolutely must thwart the Government and the Five Elders' conspiracy.
They absolutely, absolutely must reunite Bonney and Kuma, preventing the tragedy from happening.
Creak~
Roland, who had sensed the end of the interrogation with Observation Haki, returned to the dining room with a cheerful Bonney.
"Big sisters, did Alpha say anything?"
Bonney asked, not without curiosity.
"Ah, she confessed everything. She really was sent by the World Government to monitor you and prevent you from meeting your father!"
Nami said. Other than this, she didn't say another word.
It was better not to let Bonney know about these cruel truths for now.
"As expected! I knew there was no way Dad wouldn't write to me… But now that I've seen Dad's letter, I'm satisfied!"
Bonney first wrinkled her delicate nose, then immediately beamed with joy.
Today was the happiest day she had experienced in the past six months, even happier than her birthday.
"Just being satisfied with this won't do. Next, Bonney, you still need to meet your father!"
Vivi said with a smile.
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm!"
Bonney nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, let's put other matters aside for now. Let's eat first!"
Roland said.
Just then.
"Everyone, dinner's ready~"
