"The situation had become this dire? No wonder the vice admiral couldn't sit still. He grabbed Shuzo last night and flew over ahead of us."
Onigumo sighed. "We need to get there as soon as possible too."
As he spoke, he turned and shot an unfriendly look toward the last seat at the conference table.
Sitting there was the grimacing Cipher Pol-0 captain, Wilson.
"I already told you, Rear Admiral Onigumo."
Wilson rubbed his temples with a headache. "Cipher Pol-0 has many operational teams, each independent and uninvolved with the others. We only came to North Blue this time to pick someone up. The higher-ups gave us no other orders. How can this be blamed on us?"
"Who are you trying to fool?"
Rage surged in Onigumo's chest, and he slammed his palm down on the table.
"Even if you were only there to pick someone up, didn't you see the horrific scene in White Town? Even if you're Cipher Pol agents, you're still human, aren't you? How could you remain completely unmoved after seeing something like that?"
"By the time we arrived, the royal ship was already waiting by the shore..."
Captain Wilson hesitated, then let out a long sigh. "Forget it. There's no point arguing at a time like this. Shuzo has already gone to guide Mr. Noah. The rest of us will also do our best to cooperate with your Marine operation. If you need anything, just say the word."
"If the vice admiral hadn't stopped me, I'd have thrown every last one of you into prison with that king already."
Onigumo spat and sneered. "Cooperate? Hmph, a pack of World Government lackeys. Who needs your—"
Brrr brrr~
The sudden ringing of the Den Den Mushi cut Onigumo off.
"It's the vice admiral."
Momonga gestured for Onigumo
