"Boom!!!"
A deafening crash erupted from Enies Lobby's gateway. As the gate plunged into the sea, the waves it kicked up surged toward Enies Lobby's shore.
The Marines and CP intelligence agents on the island heard the commotion from the gateway almost immediately and turned to look in that direction.
Although Enies Lobby was an administrative body directly under the World Government, more than ten thousand people lived on the island. Those people needed places to live, so the outermost part of Enies Lobby was actually filled with countless civilian homes, no different from an ordinary town.
The difference was that the town streets were lined with numerous broadcast Den Den Mushi. Orders from the leadership could reach everyone on the island at the very first moment.
"Crackle—"
Not long after the deafening crash, faint static began to sound from the broadcast Den Den Mushi speakers.
"Intruder! An intruder has blasted open the gateway and broken into Enies Lobby!"
"All personnel, proceed to the main gate and intercept the intruder!"
Soon, a slightly panicked roar came through the broadcast Den Den Mushi speakers.
Although the person making the announcement did not reveal their identity, whether they had been working or resting, the Marines and CP intelligence officers hesitated only briefly after hearing the order before rushing toward the gateway.
"An intruder? There's an intruder at Enies Lobby?"
"Who could it be? This is an institution directly under the World Government. Attacking this place is the same as declaring war on the World Government. What kind of person would attack here?"
The Marines and CP agents had countless questions in their minds, but they did not dare delay after receiving their orders.
As the Marines and CP agents gathered, people would occasionally pull out Den Den Mushi to contact their superiors
