"You bastard, you're leaving without even saying goodbye!"
After the shouting subsided, Lucci, dressed in a black suit, fell from the sky.
Just now, during Shakky's Bar, without any warning, this man tore through space with his bare hands and disappeared before their eyes.
Lucci had been asking around and heard that something seemed to have happened here. Remembering the troublemakers' style, he used Geppo to fly here.
"Hey~ Isn't this that little cat? Looks like you're planning to become a subordinate of the God?"
Seeing that the person who came was none other than the arrogant Leopard brat who had been easily defeated by him a few days ago, Enel revealed a mocking smile.
"You long-eared bastard, you'd better stay stronger than me forever!"
Lucci stopped making boastful remarks, knowing that would only get him beaten up for nothing.
"I heard you got beaten up by that Straw Hat brat on Enies Lobby a while ago, right? What a pity, even the Straw Hat brat is a defeated foe of the God!"
Enel continued to attack at point-blank range until Cifer's fist left a large bump on his head before he stopped.
"Captain Cifer, what is this?"
Nolan raised the question first, as if they all recognized the man.
"My name is Rob Lucci, and I'm a future shipwright on your ship. Of course, I can leave if you don't want me to!"
In a concise manner, Lucci took the initiative to introduce himself, seemingly reluctant in his words, though his expression betrayed no such reluctance.
"This guy is a leopard!"
Chopper leaned close to Bonney's ear as she chewed something and whispered something as if telling her a secret.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set sail!"
Originally, this operation was only intended to take Lucci away and, incidentally, find out Zephyr's whereabouts.
I was so lucky to run into him, and it was expected that he wouldn't agree.
After all, he now hates pirates to the core.
He didn't lose his temper and fight me to the death on the spot, probably because there were two students with him.
Fortunately, the result was good. At least he knew his thoughts. All we need to do is find an opportunity to let him see hope, and the top mentor will be within our grasp.
"Has your ship really been sailing for half a year?"
Sailing on the high seas, Lucci's professionalism as one of the Galley-La Company's Five Foremen was on full display.
He walked around the ship, looking for any damage inside the cabins, but the conclusion he came to was unexpected.
Apart from some signs of habitation, this ship looks exactly like a brand new vessel that has just been built.
"I've said it before, my boat is virtually impossible to damage."
The Cifer was calm; any enemies encountered at sea either turned and fled or took to the air.
As for the sea, needless to say, within the range of Enel exploration, there were no Sea King who could cause trouble.
"Since you're a shipwright, could it be that you're an employee of the Galley-La Company in Water Seven?"
When Robin visited that place some time ago, she had heard about the company. Combined with Enel's conversation with her and Bonney's whispered words to Chopper, Robin had a guess.
"To be precise, I was just a CP9 agent who infiltrated Galley-La Company."
"And I originally planned to borrow yours temporarily in Water Seven."
Without hiding anything, Lucci told her everything, seemingly hoping to instill a little fear in her, but unfortunately he failed.
"That's right! And then this guy got beaten so badly by Enel in Water Seven that he couldn't even stand up!"
Chopper pointed at him and shouted, not caring that the other person was now a comrade.
"Yay! Hahahaha! God are invincible!"
As they chatted and laughed, a huge Dog-Head Warship was sailing towards them.
"That ship...it seems someone very important is coming to see you."
Ignoring Chopper's mockery, Lucci stood at the bow of the ship with his arms crossed, clearly recognizing the owner of the warship.
"He's a pretty good guy, but if he's looking for trouble, he's picked the wrong person!"
Enel scoffed. He had sensed the approaching warship long ago, but at this moment, he didn't care about anyone except Cifer.
"Hahaha~ I've finally met the real deal! What a spirited little brat!"
A mesmerizing laugh rang out, and a tall, white-haired old man with a face etched with the marks of time stood at the bow of the warship, looking toward Cifer.
"The legendary Marine, Vice Admiral Garp!"
"You're not trying to say you just want to see me, are you?"
Cifer, lying on the beach chair, didn't get up, but just asked casually.
"Hahaha~ I just came out looking for my stupid grandson and ran into you on my way back to headquarters!"
Garp jumped onto the deck of the Little Ul., and the two young men in marine uniforms who were following behind him were about to follow closely, but suddenly felt a sense of oppression.
"Those two in the back, they'll die if they get on my ship!"
Cifer's eyes conveyed a strong sense of warning.
He disliked those two people very much; deserters are always so annoying, no matter what.
In particular, those who let their misplaced compassion shake the morale of their troops when victory is within reach only make the sacrifices of their comrades seem laughable.
However, if they don't seek death, Cifer doesn't have any plans for the time being. After all, deserters should be punished according to their own methods.
"Koby, Helmeppo, you two stay on the warship. This madman means what he says!"
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, Garp waved for them to quickly return to the deck of the warship.
"That was terrifying Koby! The way he looked at me just now, I felt like I was about to die!"
The two went straight back into the cabin, Helmeppo closing the door, Helmeppo gasped for breath and sighed to Koby.
"That must be the legendary Conqueror's Haki! He's such a terrifying man!"
Koby wasn't in much better shape either. When he almost took that step, the powerful pressure that descended upon him made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
On the other side, aboard the Little Ul.
"Rob Lucci, a traitor to CP9, an organization directly under the World Government, and Nico Robin, the 'Child of the Devil' who survived Ohara."
"Blatantly gathering these people around you, what are you planning?"
Garp, abandoning his usual carefree attitude, questioned her with a serious expression, revealing the legendary power of a Marine.
Although he was only a Vice Admiral, his influence and intelligence gathering were top-notch; it was just a matter of whether he wanted to know or not.
He really liked Ulquiorra's personality and thought he would definitely be a good candidate to uphold justice, but recently, there seemed to be some dissent about him among the higher-ups of the World Government.
"We're preparing for some things you've been worried about. So, what do you think? Do you want to join?"
Knowing Garp's personality, Cifer didn't beat around the bush and told him directly, while also extending an invitation.
"Hahahaha~"
"What an annoying brat!"
Garp didn't know whether he was so arrogant that he didn't know his own limitations, or so powerful that he was fearless.
But it's a good thing that young people are energetic, and there are some things that these people on the ship probably already know even if they don't say it.
"Then I'll wait and see!"
With a flick of his Justice Cape, Garp returned to his warship and ordered his men to hurry away.
I heard from Tsuru earlier that Sengoku and Zephyr had a fight over the new Shichibukai.
Everyone is helpless in this situation.
He needed to rush back to Marineford to prevent Zephyr from doing anything foolish.
As he watched the warships recede into the distance, Cifer suddenly smiled.
He suddenly wondered what Garp's expression would be if the three newly appointed Marine Admiral in the future world.
