Ochoku said with a troubled expression and self-reproach, "Ares, you're finally here. The ones who abducted Katakuri were CP0, the World Government's strongest intelligence agency."
"We failed to protect him properly and let CP0 exploit the opening..."
He knew that Ares liked that child, Katakuri, very much.
Otherwise, he would not have let Katakuri join his Division. After all, Ares's Division currently had only four members, and Katakuri was one of them.
Countless people were desperate to join Ares's Division.
With a powerhouse like "Bloodhand" Ares leading the way, who would have to worry about lacking gold and treasure?
"I don't care what CP0 is, or what kind of damn intelligence agency they are. If they dared abduct Katakuri, I'll make them pay a terrible price!" Ares spoke with immense viciousness.
The killing intent radiating from him made the surrounding temperature drop, raising goosebumps on everyone's skin.
Ochoku continued, "To complete their mission, CP0 will stop at nothing. They infiltrated Hachinosu Island and abducted Katakuri, most likely to rescue the Celestial Dragons."
"My guess is that Katakuri and the others are still safe for now. We must find them as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if too much time passes and the execution date draws near..."
"CP0 might use those children as bargaining chips. Then we'll be in trouble."
Given Rocks's temperament, he certainly would not allow his plan to execute the Celestial Dragons to fail, and he absolutely would not exchange the Celestial Dragons for those children's lives.

If the negotiations failed, CP0 might slaughter those children.
"What I want to hear isn't any of this. How much longer until we find Katakuri?! Do you have any leads!?" Ares's deep amber eyes burned with overwhelming fury.
"Well..."
Ochoku found it difficult to speak. "There are no other leads
