On the other end of the phone, Spandam instinctively shuddered; he sensed something was wrong.

Rob Lucci's attitude speaks volumes!

Even so, Spandam quickly connected to his father's call and simultaneously switched the Den Den Mushi he used to communicate with Lucci to the Den Den Mushi he used to communicate with his father.

After the two Den Den Mushi rubbed their faces together, the call was connected.

"Spandam, do you have any updates on Gawain? What is Gawain's attitude?"

Before Spandam could speak, Spandine asked anxiously, and Spandam quickly explained.

"Father, it's not just me talking to you now. This is a Den Den Mushi) that's contacting you. It's Gawain's subordinate, former CP9 member Rob Lucci!"

"Receive!"

Spandine's voice immediately became serious. He bowed respectfully from a distance and then spoke.

"Lord Lucci, it is an honor to receive your call. At the same time, I would also like to congratulate you on gaining Saint Gawain's appreciation!"

Alas, it's all my selfishness that's causing you trouble all these years, my son.

Afterwards, please feel free to discipline my son, but please be sure that the grudge between you and my son does not affect the task that Saint Gawain has assigned to you!

Therefore, please give your instructions regarding the orders Saint Gawain left behind!

On the other end of the phone, Spandine's voice was incredibly respectful.

Rob Lucci's initial rage had surprisingly subsided.

He had always been the one who sat above him, suppressing him, controlling him, affecting his training, and ruining his future—the person he considered his greatest enemy in life.

They surrendered so easily...

This reality bore Rob Lucci.

Then, the next moment, Spandine suddenly saw the Den Den Mushi in his hand, which had transformed into Rob Lucci's face, suddenly close its eyes.

"Spandine!"

"I'm bored, "Lucci said with his eyes closed.

"Gawain asked me to convey a message to you; please listen carefully."

"Please speak quickly!" Spandine nodded excitedly.

"Gawain said he wants to borrow your son. You should transfer Spandam to serve under me and the mayor of the Water 7 Iceburg, as soon as possible!"

At the same time, Lord Gawain wishes you good health and hopes you will still be able to have another son!

"Great, wonderful! This is a tremendous honor. I have received Saint Gawain's blessing!"

I'll have that brat leave CP9 right now and come under your and Lord Iceburg's command.

Thank you, Saint Gawain, for giving my son such an opportunity. In the future, I ask Lucci to discipline my son as he sees fit, even if it means death. If my son can die for the Celestial Dragon, it will be an eternal honor for my Spanda Family!

Also, I hope that you, Lord Lucci, can convey to Gawain Saint Gawain that I will immediately respond to your command and start making babies tonight!

Finally, I have one more request: I would like to ask Saint Gawain to name my unborn son!

Lord Lucci, please have pity on my decades of achievements and convey my message to Saint Gawain.

Thank you so much!

At this point, Spandine was not sad at all; on the contrary, he was extremely excited. He immediately roared at Spandam.

"Spandam, you bastard, how could you be so lucky as to receive special attention from Celestial Dragon!"

Even I, despite being a CP0 squad leader, haven't had the chance to get close to such great gods as the Celestial Dragon!

Pack your things quickly... no, don't pack, travel light and get to your new boss right now!

You should know how to communicate with Lord Rob Lucci and Lord Iceburg, right?

"I know, Dad, of course I know!"

Spandam's eyes widened at that moment, alternating between anger and joy.

Looking at the Den Den Mushi in front of him, recalling his grudges with Iceburg and his animosity with Rob Lucci, Spandam was a little worried; he was afraid of dying!

But then he thought, if he could survive Lucci and Iceburg, it would mean he would truly get closer to Gawain!

That's Celestial Dragon who Awakening Conqueror's Haki!

That's Celestial Dragon who communicated with the Five Elders several times and recruited Admiral candidates and Shichibukai in one go. He's clearly destined for great things!

As long as he survives, he can follow the adults and become someone like Lucci, someone even he, as the father of CP0, has to treat with respect!

The thought of this made Spandam incredibly excited!!!

For Spandam, simply surviving was far too easy!

Spandam immediately shouted loudly at Rob Lucci!

"Lucci, please wait for me a moment. I will set off immediately and come to you as fast as I can!"

Please witness my transformation. I want to become your best subordinate. I want to be Lord Celestial Dragon with Gawain loyalty!

I'm leaving right away, right away!!!

Finally, Rob Lucci, unable to bear it any longer, slammed down the Den Den Mushi.

After putting the giant snail back in his pocket, Rob Lucci stood on the shore in silence for a long time.

Only now did he clearly realize that his social class had completely changed!

Of course, he was still a lowly person, but now he was a big shot among the lowly, a subordinate of the Celestial Dragon, and a messenger of God!

Most importantly, he's a lucky guy!

Thinking of this, Rob Lucci clenched his fist heavily. Everything the adults had bestowed upon him had come too easily, and this easy fortune made him uneasy!

Even Spandam...

In the past, when Lucci was just a nobody, he truly loathed Spandam and Spandine had almost no real strength and only relied on flattery and a silver tongue to occupy high positions.

But just now, after Lucci switched identities with them...

After Lucci became the important figure they fawned over.

Lucci suddenly realized that someone like Spandam couldn't possibly have no merits.

They can take power and put it down, abuse it and always back down, and they are also incredibly shameless!

Isn't that the most terrifying advantage?

Rob Lucci instantly leaped into the air and rushed towards the direction where Jabra had disappeared.

He couldn't stop; he had to do more for Gawain. Even if he couldn't match Gion and Jinbe, he would do better Spandam!

Since Gawain values Franky so much, how could he let Jabra go alone? He had to personally invite Franky, the one who should have been dead, Carter Flam!

Meanwhile, at Franky's shipbreaking shop, Franky, sporting a blue rooster-like hairstyle, a metal nose, and wearing only a pair of red underwear, was gulping down a Coke.

"Hoo... hiccup~~!"

Franky let out a loud burp, threw down the Coke bottle, and said in his hoarse voice.

"I've been very uneasy this week. Why would Celestial Dragon suddenly appear in Water 7 in the middle of the night!"

This is absolutely terrifying! Is Water 7 Seven going to become a slave city for the Celestial Dragon? Hahahaha!

Just as he finished speaking, the door to the tavern where he was located was pushed open by his underlings.

"Boss Franky, something terrible has happened! Something really terrible has happened!"

Just now, the Celestial Dragon arrived. I glanced at them from afar, and everyone was kneeling there. Mayor Iceburg's assistant team had all been dismissed. Rob Lucci and Kaku, the two foremen, and Mayor Iceburg's secretary Kalifa were all government agents. They seemed to be investigating something. I think I heard your name, Big Brother!!!

"Walter?"

Franky was taken aback by his underling's words, and two puffs of cola-scented steam billowed from his mechanical nose.

"You speak incredibly fast! Can't you slow down and speak more clearly, you jerk!"

"Don't repeat yourself, brother. When I was running away, there were already agents in black heading our way. Let's run, or it'll be too late..."

"Uh, bro, it seems like we don't need to run anymore, it's too late..."

The younger brother stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, pointing blankly towards the door.

Meanwhile, Jabra stood outside the door and gently knocked on the open tavern door.

"Hehe, I am Jabra, a former CP9 agent, and now a member of the Celestial Dragon Saint Gawain's butler team."

Although I'm not used to such a distinguished status yet, the thought that Catherine would be pleasantly surprised by my current identity, and then fall in love with me, marry me, and raise children fills me with immense happiness!

Hey, why am I telling you this?

Of course, I need to put your minds at ease so I can complete the task Lord Gawain assigned me, hahaha!

Franky, Saint Gawain wants to see you. Hurry up and get dressed properly, then come with me!

By the way, do you know who Catherine is?

She's the most beautiful cook in the Enies Lobby mess hall. I've been pursuing her for a long time. Now that I'm one of the Celestial Dragon, she'll definitely be mine too, haha!

"Well..."

Seeing Jabra's unstoppable excitement, Franky rolled his eyes in astonishment—a true mechanical Byakugan roll.

"What are you talking about, buddy? I don't understand a word you're saying! Your words are so illogical, you four-eyebrowed sunglasses guy!"

"What? These are my handsome eyebrows Washuu long beard, not the four eyebrows you're talking about!"

Besides, don't you think my little sunglasses suit my style perfectly?

"How could a guy like you, shirtless in a suit with a tie over his chest, possibly have any class!"

"Does a pervert like you, who only wears his underwear and struts around with his leg hair showing, have the right to comment on my style?!"

"Formation? What formation?"

"He's a pervert!"

"Haha, so you called me a pervert? Well, thank you for the compliment. I'll... fuck you!"

Rob Lucci was having a friendly conversation with Jabra one second, and the next second he suddenly lunged out, his Iron Fist aimed hard at Jabra's head.

Thump!!!

After a muffled thud, Franky laughed and continued.

"You've been tricked, you idiot, Subo! Why would Grandpa Franky go with you!"

Guys, let's run! All of the Franky Family, run away! Hahahaha!

Grandpa Franky, there's no way we can protect Water 7 anymore. You should run as far as you can!

Let me protect you one last time!!!
