Add the Buster Call

"Bastard, who are you?!" Spandam climbed angrily to his feet and glared at Xi Yan with eyes that seemed ready to spit fire. "Looking at your clothes... Navy?"

"Who gave you permission to do this?!"

"Do you know the consequences of what you've done?!"

Spandam was furious. He had been discussing a wonderful future with his subordinates when the Great Gate had suddenly been sent flying.

If he had not been lucky, wouldn't that Great Gate have smashed right into his face?!

He was not CP9 and did not possess a monster-like body. If something like that hit him, he could die.

"Clearly, this man is not Navy," Blueno said.

He wore nothing more than an ordinary Navy soldier's uniform, yet he carried a long blade at his waist. On top of that, he had suddenly blasted the Great Gate away... Clearly, there was something wrong with him.

"Is he one of the pirates who invaded Judicial Island this time, chababa~"

"Someone previously said that Straw Hat was the only intruder, but it seems that isn't the case," Blueno said.

While speaking, he glanced at Spandam's desk. Only then did he realize that Spandam's Den Den Mushi had not been properly placed. That was probably why he had not received the message.

"You infiltrated this place alone. Should I call you foolish, or should I call you bold?" Kalifa adjusted her glasses.

The others stared expressionlessly at Xi Yan. Clearly, none of them had expected a pirate to come here alone.

"Bold, I suppose." Xi Yan smiled. "After all, I'm a lawless man. Your World Government can't restrain me."

"Bastard, who do you think you are?!" Spandam roared. "How dare you speak like that? Don't you know that the World Government represents everything?!"

This was the first time he had seen someone daring enough to disdain the World Government. Did this man not know what that meant?

"That is your World Government, not mine," Xi Yan said.

"So?" Kalifa asked. "You came here alone. Are you planning to challenge all of us?"

"I merely came to get acquainted with our enemies this time," Xi Yan said. "And to mention something along the way."

"Don't tell me you came to deliver a challenge letter." Jabra wore an exaggerated expression. "That's the sort of thing pirates love to play at."

"Hahaha."

During past missions, he had seen such things more than once.

"You can understand it that way." Xi Yan shrugged. "Of course, if you refuse to accept, I don't mind slaughtering all of you here."

"A challenge letter?" Kaku's gaze turned strange. "And who exactly do you represent?"

Kaku automatically ignored the latter half of Xi Yan's words. In his eyes, that was impossible. Kaku was still quite confident in his own strength.

"The Straw Hat Pirates."

"You think the Straw Hat Pirates can challenge all of CP9?" Rob Lucci asked.

Although he did not know why the Straw Hat Pirates had gained another member, Rob Lucci did not care about such things. The outcome would not change.

"No."

"Heh, it seems you still have some self-awaren—"

"Add the Buster Call too," Xi Yan said.

The moment those words fell, Rob Lucci's expression darkened. Was the other side looking down on him?

What did he mean by adding the Buster Call? Did he not know what a Buster Call was, or was he simply extremely confident in his own strength?

"Yo yo yi~"

"Pirate, do you even know what a Buster Call is?" Kalifa said.

That was a terrifying military force capable of destroying an entire island. More importantly, every activation of a Buster Call came with five Navy Headquarters vice admirals.

"I do."

Kalifa was visibly stunned. Surprised, she said, "You know, and yet you still..."

"Because this is the means you use to threaten Robin," Xi Yan said. "But if even the Buster Call cannot do anything to us, then that means becomes useless, doesn't it?"

After speaking, Xi Yan swept his gaze over the group before finally settling it on Spandam. "You look like their superior... In that case, you must be the one with the authority to activate a Buster Call."

"That's right, it's me!" Spandam said with a dark expression. "I do have the authority to activate a Buster Call, but... Kid, you think far too highly of yourself."

"Would we even need a Buster Call to deal with you?"

Aside from that newly joined Kid, every member of CP9 was here now. Wasn't that more than enough to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates?

With a cold sneer, Spandam said, "Take him down!"

A challenge letter... What an immature pirate. Nico Robin and Franky were already in his hands. Did he need to play such games with them?

Even if he tore up the agreement, what could Nico Robin do?

"Not only you, but every pirate who came to Judicial Island must die," Jabra said with a bloodthirsty smile.

Any existence that dared offend the dignity of the World Government had to receive the harshest punishment!

And these audacious pirates needed to be killed one after another. Only then could the World Government recover its face.

"Bastard, this isn't what we agreed on!" Nico Robin howled from outside.

Hadn't they agreed that if she obediently complied, CP9 would not touch anyone from the Straw Hat Pirates?

But from what they were saying, they had no intention of sparing the Straw Hat Pirates. This was completely different from what they had agreed upon.

Franky looked at Nico Robin with some pity. Things had already reached this point. Did the enemy still need to honor that so-called agreement?

"Heh, what a naive woman."

Hearing Nico Robin's cries, Spandam revealed a disdainful expression.

To be honest, he did not care about that bullshit agreement at all. In the end, it was merely a means of taking Nico Robin away.

If those pirates had obediently stayed in Water Seven, he would not have bothered with them. They were just a bunch of pirates, and people like them were as numerous as hairs on a cow across the sea. Killing them or not made no difference.

In any case, it would not affect his career. As long as he brought Nico Robin and Franky back, he would receive unimaginable benefits. He might even become the commander of the legendary CP0!

But... since these audacious pirates had dared come to Judicial Island, there was no need for him to be polite. He would simply kill them all!

"Kid, forget about whether you're delivering a challenge letter. I admire that you dared come here alone to cause trouble for us."

"Shave!"

Jabra appeared before Xi Yan and sneered. "But sorry, we're assassins. We don't play those games."

"Finger Gun!"

"Pfft~"

"Hahaha, you really are utterly worthles—"

Before Jabra could finish speaking, he realized that the one he had struck was not that overconfident Kid at all, but a Wooden stake.

Jabra: ???

What the hell was this?

He had clearly hit the other side just now, so why had he turned into a Wooden stake? Could he be some kind of Devil Fruit User?

What kind of ability was this? He could not see through it at all.

"Come with me, you hideous-looking commander."

Hearing Xi Yan's voice, everyone turned back in shock and discovered that, at some unknown moment, Xi Yan had already appeared in front of Spandam.

Xi Yan crouched atop the desk, his scarlet eyes calmly watching the panicked Spandam.

Those scarlet eyes gradually grew larger in Spandam's vision.
