The Sudden Arrival of CP / Making a Move

Hearing Dongze's answer, Robin finally felt relieved. It seemed that he was the only one she could rely on now.

"Where are we going next?"

After helping Dongze to sit down, Robin couldn't help but ask.

Dongze thought about his next goal; it seemed there was another piece of the Poneglyph on Fish-Man Island.

"Let's go to Fish-Man Island! But it seems we still have to go to Sabaody first; hopefully those people have left by now~~"

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Unexpected Cipher Pol

On the high sea, a ship sails quietly, its outer gunwales parting the water as the seawater slowly separates to both sides.

The rushing water sounded like a lullaby, soothing the ears.

Night had crept into the sky again, and countless stars shone brightly. There was no moon that night, and the sea appeared quiet under the starlight.

A soft, seductive sound drifted from the cabin of the two-masted sailing ship, bringing the night to a climax—it was time to fall asleep.

Inside the cabin, Robin wrinkled her nose slightly, stretched out a section of her snow-white arm from under the thin blanket, gently embraced Dongze, and fell into a deep sleep.

Of course, at this time, Dongze seemed to have lost his usual energy and drifted into a sweet dream.

However, inside the room, the Peerless Sword Case had been opened, and Five Flying Swords had been released at some point.

They moved nimbly around the cabin, like guardians protecting Dongze.

This is destined to be a beautiful night.

"What a fairy!"

The next day, Dongze felt the weight on his body, his nostrils flared slightly, and a captivating scent filled his heart. He turned around and saw Robin still lying on top of him.

A splash of snow-white made his heart flutter.

He immediately shook his head, rubbed his still somewhat heavy head, and smiled wryly.

Thinking about what happened last night still makes him feel ashamed.

Having lost his advantage due to exhaustion, the knight was finally able to display his prowess.

They galloped at full speed, regardless of whether they could handle it, and ended up stumbling before reaching the finish line, failing to win the championship.

"Ding~"

A soft sound broke the silence. Dongze made a grasping motion in the air, snatching the clothes from the hanger as he simultaneously activated his Observation Haki.

He quickly looked around and saw that the Flying Sword was a warning, indicating that there were enemies nearby.

Furthermore, this enemy was no ordinary foe; they couldn't eliminate him instantly, which is why they issued a warning.

Soon, Dongze spotted an unfamiliar warship about twenty miles away. The warship was fully equipped and approached menacingly.

However, the people on it were not marines in naval uniforms, but a group of people dressed in flashy clothes.

He remembered one of them.

"Cp0?"

That's right, it was the World Government's intelligence agency. I don't know what clues they followed, but they found me.

Although Dongze looked down on them, he didn't find anything unusual about them. As a secret service agency, handling complex matters was its job.

However, the fact that they have come to him so openly says something. He then Observation Haki to scan the warship with great precision.

Not a single corner was missed.

Yeah, there are three Den Den Mushi, five people, and some henchmen.

Its military strength reached the level of a standard Vice Admiral. If we disregard the special person above him, outsiders would probably think the same!

However, Dongze knew very well that person; he was the leader of CP0, with strength comparable to an Admiral. It was simply impossible to negotiate with someone of that caliber.

During the Paramount War, the people the Marine Headquarters sent to negotiate with the Shichibukai were only Headquarters Vice Admiral.

As a new Shichibukai, with no established reputation, his purpose in sending someone with the strength of Admiral is self-evident.

They want to capture me?

But thinking about it, that seems impossible!

The one who clashed with Saint Watz was Enel, and he's not on the ship right now. His actions are extremely secretive; the sword isn't his own, and he's never shown his ability to control other people's swords to outsiders.

They shouldn't be bringing this upon themselves either.

However~

Although they came with great momentum, they underestimated Dongze's strength. If Dongze were an ordinary Shichibukai, he would indeed have no chance of escaping when facing CP0, which has the strength of Admiral.

Unfortunately, Dongze's strength is not just at the level of the Shichibukai; he is 1.5 times stronger than Garp. Even if two Admiral came, they would probably be doomed.

It could even be said that his trip to Kihobil Island activated a new Sword Intent, and his strength has taken another step forward.

With this in mind, he probed his brow with his consciousness, intending to check his interface.

The first line of text he saw made him smile. His prediction was correct; his strength had indeed made a new breakthrough.

1.8 Garp.

While the assessment is somewhat humorous, this is genuine strength. One Garp could kill Akainu and fight Roger to a draw; 1.8 of them could probably punch Old Whitebeard and kick Blackbeard, the traitor.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he has now achieved his original dream.

Suddenly, Dongze's ears twitched, and a somewhat sinister voice came over.

"Shichibukai Tozan, we have received a report that your subordinate Enel appeared at the scene of Watts Saint's death and had a major conflict with him beforehand. We suspect that Watts Saint's death is related to him. Please come with us for questioning!"

Dongze chuckled. This undisguised and unpretentious attitude suggested that he didn't take him seriously.

It seems this top-tier CP0 fighter has left them bewildered.

In that instant, Dongze made his decision: he would keep them here, and keep them here for good.

Who are you?

"We are an intelligence agency of the World Government, tasked with investigating the death of Saint Watz. We hope for your cooperation!"

Perhaps because Dongze still held the title of one of the Shichibukai, the other party's words were quite measured.

However, Dongze didn't trust them. Could they possibly escape unscathed once they were in the enemy's hands?

Moreover, he was not afraid of these people because of his own strength, and he had even planned from the beginning to keep them here.

However, what needs to be said still needs to be said; one must first state one's position.

"I don't know about that matter, Enel isn't on the ship either. I'm sure someone on your side has already found out. If he really did it, you can go find him. I have no objections. I have other matters to attend to now, so I can't keep you company any longer!"

Upon hearing Dongze's words, the man in black who had spoken couldn't help but turn his gaze to the bespectacled man who had been sitting and drinking tea, who was their highest-ranking member.

The Admiral- level combatant "Huake Youjiha".

Upon seeing the man in black, Huake Yujiha nodded slightly, indicating that Dongze was not lying and that Enel was indeed not on the ship.

"Then, sir, what should we do next?"

Huake? Yujiha narrowed his eyes and curled his lips into a smile. "Although Enel isn't here, I just discovered someone else on this ship who interests me! If we could capture her, we wouldn't have had to come all this way!"

"Get closer! Arrest him!"

His casual words revealed his immense confidence; he believed that capturing someone from the clutches of a Shichibukai would be no challenge at all.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Taking Action

"Ignorance is bliss!"

Seeing them walking towards them so casually, Dongze couldn't help but feel a little emotional!

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

Dongze lightly patted the Peerless Sword Case and whispered, "Sword One, Long River! Sword Two, Thunderclap! Sword Three, Cold River!"

Three beams of light—pale yellow, bluish-white, and ice blue—bloomed before his eyes. The space suddenly trembled, and various natural elements seemed to be disrupted at that moment, causing the space to erupt in chaos.

What followed was a strange sense of oppression, so oppressive that it was almost suffocating.

The Sea Beast and Sea Kings on the seabed fled this place as if they were running away. Apart from that warship, there were almost no living beings within dozens of miles of Dongze.

Three blinding streaks of light flashed by and disappeared in an instant, leaping directly into another space, their target locked on a warship not far away.

However, just as those three sword lights appeared, Huake Youjiha, aboard the distant warship, sat up abruptly from his chair, looking as if he had been pricked by a needle.

At this moment, Huake Youjiha's face was filled with fear.

Although they were still quite a distance apart, he felt an unprecedented pressure, so great that it even surpassed the pressure he felt when he faced Garp alone.

Although it was just a small matter, it illustrates a problem from one perspective.

The kid in front of me is not a simple Shichibukai- level pirate; his strength is at least on par with Garp's.

The thought of that naval hero who chased Gol D. Roger across the entire sea with his iron fists sent a chill down his spine.

The old man is getting on in years, but his strength hasn't diminished much. In fact, due to the continuous refinement of his combat skills, his true combat strength can even unleash power stronger than at his peak in a short period of time.

He had secretly visited the Holy Land Mary Geoise and witnessed firsthand the terror of that old man; his fists could even tear the sky apart.

Even though he now possesses strength comparable to Admiral, he still feels a lingering fear when he thinks about it.

But now! The pressure from this kid's attack is even greater than that from Garp's, causing him to lose his composure in an instant.

That previous statement is a joke in the face of such strength.

The other party was already impatient, and he had shamelessly gone to his death. He really wanted to slap himself now.

"Baka Neng!!"

"What's wrong, sir?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's inquiry, Huake Yujiha clenched his fists involuntarily. "Report to the Five Elders immediately! This new Shichibukai — Dongze— is problematic!!"

He twisted one side of the steel hull into a pretzel shape, and as his subordinates questioned him, many things involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

With such strength, why would this guy want to become a Shichibukai of the World Government?

What exactly does he want to do?

Could he be plotting something, or is he trying to overthrow the current World Government?

In short, his long-term position as a secret agent unconsciously led him to think in that direction, to wonder what kind of conspiracy Dongze might be plotting.

When one's strength reaches that level, one person can withstand an army of thousands. They are like a human nuclear bomb. If this nuclear bomb were to explode in a densely populated area, the damage would be incalculable.

Besides, now that the other side has also attacked them, even though it's because of their own actions, they can't accept it!

Only by defining the nature of this matter can we have a sliver of hope and save our lives with the help of the immense power of the World Government.

Just then, a voice reached the ears of everyone on the warship.

Do you think I'd let you call them?

Before the somber words had completely dissipated, an extremely cold chill quickly swept through the surrounding space.

Huake? Yukiha's eyes blazed with fury, "Shichibukai — Dongze, are you planning to do something that harms the World Government? We are members of the World Government, you'd better think carefully about the consequences of messing with us!"

As he said this, he winked at his colleagues, signaling them to hurry up and make the call. He didn't believe Dongze would still kill him if the call went through.

After a while, Dongze's voice echoed in his mind, "Don't make it sound so noble. Are you really thinking about the World Government? It's not entirely like that!!"

Huake? Youjiha glanced around, but he didn't see Dongze. A sense of even greater horror rose in his heart.

Dongze seemed to know everything, and the way he communicated directly with others was also somewhat unsettling.

He couldn't help but feel a pang of regret at the advice his subordinates had given him earlier.

However, he couldn't show his fear at this moment. If he lost this internal battle, Dongze would be even less likely to let him off the hook. So, he declared righteously, "Harboring a criminal who endangers the world, the Devil Child —Nicole Robin, do you know your crime?!"

"Oh! So you came over here intending to capture Robin?"

At this moment, Dongze finally understood why, after failing to find Enel, the other party was still trying to come closer and capture him.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

"You admit it??"
