Will I Become a Sinner?

Lucci could feel the pressure they were putting on him as well.

He had brought nearly all of CP9's top combat forces here. If anything changed now, they could be wiped out completely!

"Retreat!" He made the decision without hesitation.

Kalle and Blueno immediately withdrew upon hearing the order.

"Stop Blueno first!" Swain shouted.

Norton beat his wings fiercely and attacked the person closest to him.

His wings sent out razor-sharp slashes, but he was still a step too late! Norton had attacked the wrong person!

It was not his fault. After all, he had no idea which of the three was Blueno.

He had assumed Swain wanted him to stop the strongest one.

Doors appeared behind all three of them at once, allowing them to escape!

"Damn it!" Swain cursed inwardly.

Such a perfect opportunity had been wasted. It would probably not be easy to deal with these lackeys again in the future!

"Why did only three of them come? Where are the others?" Norton could not help asking.

"If they had all come, we definitely could have kept Kumadori here!"

Swain had just been about to answer when something suddenly occurred to him.

Right! They must have been discussing their plan together! So where were the others?

Iceburg? The Pluton blueprints!

They had split up! One team had come to capture Norton, while the other had definitely gone after Iceburg!

A cold sweat broke out over Swain as he realized it.

According to the original plot, they would not make their move against Iceburg until two years later.

That was when Luffy came to Water 7, and naturally, the blueprints had not fallen into CP9's hands.

Now, with his arrival, the butterfly effect could very well change that outcome.

If the blueprints truly fell into the World Government's hands, then with Vegapunk's brilliance, he would surely be able to create a replica.

At that point, it would likely become impossible for anyone to shake the World Government's position.

More precisely, the Celestial Dragons' position!

"You go guard the harbor first! If they leave this island, they'll definitely pass through there!"

After giving the order, Swain shot off like a cannonball.

He had to get to Iceburg in time!

I hope I'm not too late! Swain prayed silently.

This world had to be liberated!

He did not want this incident to cause a qualitative leap in the World Government's strength. If that happened, he would become a sinner!

Ten minutes earlier.

At this time, Swain was still fighting Lucci.

Water 7, inside the mayor's office.

Iceburg, dressed in formal attire, was handling official business when someone knocked at the door.

Iceburg checked the time. It was already noon. What could possibly be happening at this hour?

"Come in!"

The visitor was a stunningly beautiful woman wearing black-rimmed glasses. Her long, fair legs were clad in black stockings, golden hair draped over her shoulders, and her chest heaved enticingly with every step.

She looked exceptionally alluring!

"Oh, it's Kalifa. Do you need something from me?" Iceburg asked.

Kalifa was his secretary, so it was only natural for her to come to him with business.

In a crisp voice, she said, "Mr. Mayor, I want something..."

She stopped halfway through, seeming reluctant to continue.

Iceburg found this somewhat strange. Kalifa had always been decisive and efficient, so what was wrong with her today?

Was she in heat? But this should not have been the time for that.

Iceburg was thoroughly puzzled.

Yet he maintained a proper expression as he said, "What do you want? Just say it. If I can help you, I will."

"Of course you can help me!"

"Please give me the blueprints." Kalifa got straight to the point.

Iceburg's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm.

He said evenly, "You mean the blueprints for the new housing project? The designer will deliver them this afternoon."

Kalifa directly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Iceburg.

"What are you doing? Put that gun down! Don't be ridiculous!" Iceburg snapped.

In truth, he had already guessed some of what was going on.

"Mr. Mayor, stop playing dumb!"

"Hand over Pluton's blueprints, and you can live!" Kalifa said, dropping all pretense.

Yet Iceburg continued to feign ignorance.

"Kumadori, come help the mayor loosen up a little," Kalifa said.

At that moment, another man entered. He had a huge body, long white hair hanging to the ground, and an extremely thick layer of white foundation smeared across his face.

"Yo yo yi! Kalifa, you did well!" Kumadori said.

He tied Iceburg up with rope. Facing two Agents, Iceburg had absolutely no ability to fight back.

"Stop wasting time! Tie him up and force him to tell us where the blueprints are hidden," Kalifa said impatiently.

"Yo yo yi, don't get so angry!"

"Yo yo yi" was Kumadori's usual catchphrase, but it only irritated Kalifa at the moment.

"Old man, hand over those blueprints right now, or CP9 won't let you off!" Kumadori snarled viciously.

But the way he acted only made Iceburg find him rather amusing, like some clownish performer.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Kalifa threw three punches, and three swollen lumps immediately rose on Kumadori's head.

"Idiot, don't expose our identity!" Kalifa was clearly furious, her breasts rising and falling heavily.

Iceburg burst into laughter at the ridiculous sight.

Seeing Iceburg mocking him, Kumadori grew angry and decided to teach him a lesson.

But Iceburg spotted an opportunity. He rose from his office chair, slammed his head into Kumadori, then turned sideways, crashed through the glass, and jumped from the building.

Kalifa and Kumadori hurriedly jumped down after him, pursuing Iceburg.

After landing below, Iceburg ran while shouting, "Someone, help! Assassins are trying to kill the mayor!"

But it was noon, and everyone had already left work and gone home. There was no one around at all.

"Don't waste your breath! You can't escape!" Kumadori said arrogantly.

Iceburg tripped over something and fell to the ground. Everything seemed to be tilting in Kalifa's favor.

She was also confident that she could force Iceburg to reveal the whereabouts of the blueprints!

Iceburg was anxious as well, regretting that he had laid off all the security guards.

Though even if he had not laid them off, facing two CP9 Agents would still have been an unsolvable situation.

Just then, someone descended from the sky at incredible speed, the impact kicking up a massive cloud of dust around them.

A handsome, upright young man stood before Iceburg, shielding him behind his back.

"I made it!" Swain said in delight.

Seeing someone barge in halfway through, Kumadori shouted, "Yo yo yi, where did this brat come from? Get the hell out of my way!"

Kalifa frowned as well. "Rude bastard, get out of my sight."

"Otherwise, I'll make you regret it!"

Swain could not help teasing the beauty before him. "Can I really have a taste of you?"

"Bastard!"

She performed a backflip, intending to pierce Swain's jaw with the sharp heel beneath her foot.

But Swain grabbed her long leg in one hand, leaving her unable to move!

As long as Swain glanced downward, everything about her would be exposed before his eyes.

However, he had no interest in looking.

"This is sexual harassment!" Kalifa said, her face reddening.

Swain: ???

He flung her away with one motion.

Kumadori took the chance to launch a sneak attack on Swain.

Shigan!

Swain did not even look at him. He stomped his foot, and a powerful blast of air sent Kumadori flying!

"Are you all right?" Swain asked.

"I-I'm... fine! Thank you!" Iceburg said.

Looking at this powerful man who had saved him, Iceburg felt that the day had become utterly surreal.

Meanwhile, not far from Water 7, a tall, thin man was gradually approaching the city. He rode a bicycle, and the water beneath its wheels froze into thick ice.
