After the deal was settled, Cifer led the CP9 members to Shakky's Bar.
"Is Brother Cifer joking?"
When Shakky heard his request, she almost dropped the cigarette in her hand.
Because Cifer actually wants Rayleigh to teach them Haki! So many people together!
Do I look like I'm joking?
A simple question shut her up.
"If I remember correctly, the group of people behind you are all CP9 traitors that the World Government is hunting down, right?"
Calming herself down, Shakky continued to investigate.
As a seasoned veteran with an intelligence network, she knew exactly where this group came from and reminded Cifer of what he was doing.
"We're not traitors! It's that bastard commander... blah blah blah..."
Chopper couldn't hold back any longer and unzipped his pants again, but this time before he could finish speaking, Jabura grabbed him and he couldn't even speak properly.
"So, you're ready to confront the World Government?"
Before Cifer could answer, Rayleigh's voice came through, and the question was very direct.
He used to go to the casino to have some fun, but as soon as he sat down, he heard someone next to him say that Cifer was here again, so he rushed home in a hurry.
As it turned out, they ran into Shakky's problem.
Cifer is very strong. Ever since Rayleigh saw his battle with Enel, he realized that Cifer's strength is now above his own.
He possesses the world's greatest power at such a young age, yet he has no interest in becoming the Pirate King or in the mystery of One Piece.
First, he had the remnants of Ohara by his side who could decipher the Poneglyph, and now he's taken in traitors who are being hunted by the World Government.
It's hard not to guess that what he's eyeing is the throne high in the sky, crowned with the title of "King of the World"!
"You're wrong. It should be, is the World Government prepared to be my enemy?"
The aura emanating from it greatly shocked everyone present.
"Honestly, at your age, you still have to get involved in young people's affairs; the fees are very high!"
To Shakky's astonishment, he actually agreed.
He had a new feeling at this moment: perhaps Cifer was not the man Raftel was waiting for, but Cifer might also not need the secret that Raftel was protecting.
He wanted to see how far this boy could go, and whether he could reach the other side, which he had never seen before.
"Money is not a problem."
Members like those in CP9 generally have some potential, so investing a little money won't hurt.
That's what Cifer thought, but money isn't inexhaustible, so they had to find a way to make more.
"There's another question. You can't be unaware of what happened at Marineford, can you, Mr. Rayleigh?"
"Hey, you wouldn't happen to have designs on that ' Admiral Who Doesn't Kill,' would you?!"
Rayleigh could no longer remain calm.
As an older, powerful figure from the old era, he could no longer keep up with young people like Cifer.
It's barely acceptable to help him train a few useful talents occasionally, and even if the World Government finds out, they won't pay much attention. But Zephyr is different!
After resigning Admiral, that old guy served as the chief instructor of the Navy's elite training camp!
If it were him, he would be fully capable of cultivating an elite team whose potential rivals that of naval officers.
"The World Government would absolutely never allow him to have contact with a dangerous man like you!"
Rayleigh did not answer, but instead gave a warning. In his view, no matter how strong the Cifer was, it was impossible for them to stand against the entire World Government on their own.
"When do I need anyone's permission to do something?"
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Professor Zephyr, how could they treat you like this? It's absolutely outrageous!"
A man with purple hair, wearing triangular sunglasses, and whose right hand had been modified into a mechanical arm was walking angrily down the street, frightening pedestrians into giving him a wide berth.
Beside him, a blue-haired girl was complaining, while another strangely dressed man was accompanying them.
"The World Government is rotten to the core! We can no longer stay with this incompetent navy!"
He spoke recklessly and blasphemously, his displeasure clearly visible on his face.
"Zephyr? My captain seems to be looking for you!"
At that moment, Enel blocked their way. He had heard Cifer encounter this name a few times before, but he never expected to meet him here.
"Hmm? I recognize you, you little punk, the right-hand man of the Shichibukai. Unfortunately, I don't have much to talk about with pirates!"
Zephyr even wanted to take him down directly, since in his current view, none of the Shichibukai were good people.
"Hey, hey, hey~ The God can't pretend they didn't hear what you said!"
Although Cifer is a bastard, not just anyone can insult him.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, Robin immediately led everyone away from them, after all, she knew what the name Zephyr represented.
Their presence at the scene only caused Enel more trouble.
"Pirates are pirates; they only bring trouble to the world!"
After sending Ain and Binz aside, Zephyr instantly appeared in front of Enel.
"Is it that Leopard brat's trick again?"
The robotic arm collided with Thor's staff, stirring up gusts of wind. In the blink of an eye, more than ten rounds had been fought.
"Crush Blast!"
A flash of light emanated from the mechanical arm's claws, and a powerful explosion streaked past Enel's eyes, blasting a violent blast into the open ground beside him.
"What a pity, it missed!"
Zephyr pushed up his sunglasses, his words tinged with regret.
"Is it Seastone?"
"What a dishonest old geezer!"
Enel sensed something was wrong the moment he did and transformed into his elemental form in advance.
Since the opponent has already brought out the fruit's nemesis, it seems unreasonable for him not to retaliate.
"Divine Judgment!"
Armament Haki Hardening!
Faced with the dazzling lightning, Zephyr blocked it with his mechanical arm, then quickly lunged forward and unleashed a punch filled with Armament Haki.
In response, Enel was also covered in an aura of Haki.
"You don't seem to be doing so well anymore?"
After dozens more rounds of fighting, Zephyr was already panting heavily. He was already slower than Enel, and now he could hardly even touch his opponent.
Enel stopped attacking, holding his staff behind his neck with both hands, and looked at his opponent with a relaxed expression.
"It's not like I can't handle a small-time thug like you!"
He pulled a spray bottle from his pocket and sprayed it into his nose a few times. Zephyr's breathing was obviously much easier, and his mouth became more stubborn.
"Ain, let's go too!"
Seeing that the teacher seemed to be at a disadvantage, Binz decided to step forward to help.
Without saying a word, Ain silently pulled out two short knives from the inside of her coat.
"Want to join us? The God accept your challenge!"
Enel shrugged, intending to continue the fight.
Let's stop here!
Space shattered, Cifer emerged from it.
