Under Garen's guidance, the CP0 agents' enthusiasm for work reached unprecedented heights.
The plan was proceeding smoothly. Once the Revolutionary Army and the Demacia Legion on Cake Island finished assembling, they would be able to swallow the Beasts Pirates in one fell swoop.
However, Garen soon encountered a minor problem:
After warmly receiving the CP0 agents, Kaido's side took stock of the personnel and supplies the World Government had sent as support.
Then, they immediately discovered the issue:
"You World Government bastards promised to send 120 Pacifistas."
Kaido kept a bottle of liquor in hand and, slightly drunk, roared at Garen, whom he had specifically called over for questioning:
"How come only half of them made it here?"
"And some of them are damaged, low-quality goods?"
Although Pacifistas were merely high-grade cannon fodder in Garen's eyes, these tireless, durable robots possessed combat power exceeding that of pirates with bounties over a hundred million. They were undeniably mid-to-high-end combat forces and could play a significant role in large-scale warfare.
The Pacifistas Phantom had brought this time were exactly half the agreed number. How could Kaido not be angry?
"Well..."
Faced with Kaido's questioning, Garen was left speechless.
He had smashed the other half into parts. How could he possibly have brought them over?
And most of the usable half had suffered some damage as well. He could not exactly send them back to the manufacturer for repairs, so it was only natural that a few lightly damaged robots could not be fixed.
Of course, he could not tell Kaido any of that.
"Hmph!"
Kaido snorted, his expression turning even uglier.
"You World Government bastards want to borrow my hand to get rid of Garen, yet you won't even spill a little more blood yourselves. Aren't you dreaming a little too beautifully?"
