My Big Fool Son Spandam!

Holy Land Mary Geoise, World Government Headquarters Building.

CP9 Chief Officer's Office.

A middle-aged man sat upright at his desk, staring at the Den Den Mushi placed on it with an unprecedentedly grave expression.

Spandam was a sinister man whose own strength was not great, but who had climbed step by step to become the Chief Officer of CP9 through formidable political maneuvering and ruthless elimination of rivals.

Becoming CP9's Chief Officer was not his ultimate goal; what he desired was to become a member of the Chamber of Power.

To achieve his final objective, he had to play all sides, build good relationships with other departments under the World Government, especially Marine Headquarters, which he had always coveted as a massive war machine.

It was precisely for this reason that he had frequently cooperated with Marine Headquarters. Fourteen years ago, he had even gone to the archaeological island of Ohara in the West Blue with Vice Admiral Sakazuki and Vice Admiral Kuzan from Marine Headquarters, obtained a Golden Den Den Mushi from then-Admiral Sengoku, and subsequently launched a Buster Call that erased Ohara from the map.

At the time, he thought he would seize this opportunity to advance further, but he never expected that after returning to the Holy Land, he would remain in the position of CP9 Chief Officer until the present day. This led him to conceive the idea of eliminating CP9.

Because CP9 was a clandestine special agent organization operating behind the scenes, if CP9 were not eliminated, he would be forever trapped in his current position with no hope of advancement.

However, before he could devise a perfect plan, the spies he had painstakingly planted in Marine Headquarters and the various officers he had won over began to lose contact with him one after another. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but as more and more officers who had previously been in contact with him distanced themselves, he had to take it seriously and began to secretly investigate a Vice Admiral named Akira.

When the investigation report was presented to him, even he, who was adept at scheming and ruthless in his pursuit of promotion, broke out in a cold sweat. According to the report, at least half of the officers in Marine Headquarters had strong ties to Akira.

Especially officers with whom he had previously interacted or even collaborated were gradually cutting ties with him after coming into contact with Akira. Some of these officers had even declared that if he didn't know his place, they would not hesitate to turn themselves in to expose his actions.

His hard-won network of relationships had been severed, and he could not tolerate it. He immediately took the investigation report and secretly met with one of the Five Elders, the Financial God, Iza-nagi-v-Nasjuro.

After reviewing his investigation report, Iza-nagi-v-Nasjuro immediately ordered Enies Lobby to investigate and collect evidence, and they ultimately succeeded in arresting Akira and imprisoning him.

But what he did not expect was that just as Akira was about to be transferred to Enies Lobby for execution, Akira, from within the Marine Headquarters prison, brazenly launched a mutiny and, in just one night, successfully seized the position of Marshal.

This was unexpected not only for him but also for the Five Elders in the Chamber of Power.

The mutiny launched by Akira was not the terrifying part; what was terrifying was that Akira had completed the power transition overnight, consolidating absolute control over Marine Headquarters. This meant that not only had the Three Admirals defected, but many elders of Marine Headquarters had also thrown their support behind Akira.

"Father!"

Suddenly, the tightly shut office door was violently kicked open, and a man with a leather cover on half of his face rushed to the desk, saying urgently, "This is terrible! That damned Vice Admiral Akira has launched a mutiny and seized the position of Marshal of Marine Headquarters! If he finds out that we orchestrated his investigation and trial from behind the scenes, he will never let us off!"

Spandam, Spandain's foolish eldest son, although not yet the Chief Officer of CP9, had been the one to appear in public and exercise the powers of CP9's Chief Officer on Spandain's behalf over the years.

Spandain's brow furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Spandam, how many times have I told you to remain calm when facing issues? There is no problem that cannot be solved! If you panic at the slightest incident, how will you lead CP9 in the future?"

"Father, haven't you realized it yet?" Spandam slammed his fists heavily on the desk and roared, "The Holy Land hasn't made a move yet. It's clear that Akira controls the Navy, making them hesitant. Because the Holy Land is now facing not the rebellion of one person, but the entire Navy."

Hearing this, Spandain fell silent.

He certainly knew that this matter was extraordinary. It was no longer a simple rebellion by an individual; a single misstep could lead to the Navy completely breaking away from the World Government, thus becoming its greatest threat.

Under such circumstances, the Holy Land had only one choice: to make concessions, reach some kind of agreement with Akira, and acknowledge his legitimate status as Marshal of Marine Headquarters, allowing the Navy, this massive war machine, to continue serving the World Government.

To reach this agreement, the Holy Land would need someone to step forward and bear the consequences of this incident, because, on the surface, the trigger for Akira's mutiny was the sudden trial.

If the Holy Land truly made concessions, then the consequences of this incident would have to be borne by him and his son.

"!!!!!"

Just as Spandain was contemplating countermeasures, Spandam, standing before the desk, suddenly looked up at the sky outside the window behind him, his eyes widening as he stammered, "Father, what... what is that?"

"Hmm?"

Spandain instinctively turned his head to look.

As he looked, his pupils contracted sharply.

High in the sky outside the window, several figures were approaching from a distance at astonishing speeds, streaking across the sky like meteors before plummeting rapidly towards the Pangea Castle Plaza of the Holy Land.

BOOM BOOM BOOM--

Before the father and son could react, deafening explosions suddenly erupted. Immediately afterward, plumes of thick smoke rose from the direction of Pangea Castle Plaza.

The sudden scene instantly triggered the Holy Land's alarm. Amidst the piercing alarm, dense figures flashed in from all directions, surrounding Pangea Castle Plaza at the fastest possible speed.

"That lunatic isn't planning to attack the Holy Land, is he!"

Looking at the thick smoke rising from the plaza from afar, Spandam swallowed nervously, then turned and rushed out.

"Spandam!"

Unexpectedly, Spandam was rushing out recklessly at this moment. Spandain was jolted awake and, looking at his foolish eldest son running out, couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, you idiot!"

Despite his curses, Spandain got up and chased after him immediately.

By the time the father and son arrived at Pangea Castle Plaza, the rising smoke had already dissipated with the wind.

On the plaza, surrounded by layers upon layers of people, five human-shaped craters were particularly conspicuous. Although everyone surrounding them was on high alert, no one dared to rush forward rashly.

"Cough... cough cough."

Accompanied by violent coughing, a figure immediately crawled out of a crater and stood up in a disheveled manner. It was Junzi, who had been blown back by Akira's Conqueror's Haki.
