Obtaining Pluton's Blueprints

Soon.

News of Spiders Cafe Town spread across the seas. Marine Tough Guy Wilton became famous again, first fighting the World's Most Evil Man, then clashing with Whitebeard's Second Division Commander, Fire Fist Ace, in Alabasta, and later taking down one of the Shichibukai, Crocodile.

Just a few days later, he was in a major fight with another Shichibukai, Doflamingo, in Spiders Cafe Town. This forced various factions to speculate about the Marines' intentions.

The other Shichibukai were the most suspicious.

Especially after receiving a document from Marine Headquarters ordering them to head to Marineford to discuss Crocodile's matter.

It made people's imaginations run wild.

Was it a simple discussion, or did the Marines intend to capture them all?

After some analysis, the possibility of capturing them all wasn't very high, as the cooperation between the Shichibukai and the Marines was currently peaceful.

Both sides knew what the other was capable of.

As for Crocodile, he had it coming. Who told him to get caught doing dirty deeds? The Marines were forced to act to resolve the situation, otherwise, it would tarnish the Marines' image of justice.

In short, the seas were not calm.

Sunrise and sunset.

Two days had passed since the Spiders Cafe Town incident. At this moment, in the Director's office of Impel Down, the world's number one prison, Magellan was lost in thought.

Just an hour ago.

The Marines had transported hundreds of pirate thugs. Although it didn't make Impel Down overcrowded, each floor was livelier than usual.

It was rumored that Wilton had cleaned up Spiders Cafe Town, which was why there were so many pirates.

Up to now.

The pirate criminals who had entered Impel Down because of Wilton numbered at least two thousand, if not ten thousand. The previous two thousand had been accumulated over five years.

This time was even more excessive, hundreds at once.

He could be considered the most diligent Marine officer in cracking down on pirates.

On the other hand.

On the clear blue sea, a warship flying the Marine's Jolly Roger, with a flag bearing a dumbbell, was sailing rapidly.

"Lord Wilton, we're almost at Water 7."

At the bow of the ship.

Sadi lowered her spyglass, faintly seeing a black dot on the horizon, which was Water 7.

Bang, bang, bang--

Behind Sadi, Wilton was enduring the beating of four Jailer Beasts. The Marines on the ship were already used to it.

This was their Lieutenant General Wilton's unique way of working out.

"Slow down the ship, I'll be right back."

Wilton signaled the four Jailer Beasts to stop. He was passing by Water 7 this time to stealthily obtain the Pluton blueprints.

Without alarming anyone.

So the warship wouldn't dock, and supplies were abundant, so no replenishment was needed.

"Lord Wilton."

Sadi didn't have time to ask Wilton before she leaped off the deck and disappeared. When she reappeared, she was already in the distance on the sea, floating there. Then, with an explosion of Armament Haki in her feet, she vanished.

Water 7.

Famous for shipbuilding, it was where one of the three Ancient Weapons, the battleship Pluton, was built.

To obtain clues about Pluton, the World Government dispatched the intelligence agency CP9 to infiltrate here, which included Lucci and his group.

Wilton's goal was clear: find Franky, the future shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates. The Pluton blueprints were inside that guy.

Knowing the plot advantages was Wilton's greatest Golden Finger.

What was the difference between this and a sudden windfall? It might just require him to spend a little time and make a personal trip. The World Government spent a lot of manpower and resources to obtain something that he could easily find like this.

Franky's Dismantling House.

It was the residence and ship dismantling base of the Franky Family.

And Franky was the boss of the Franky Family. Wilton found him easily, as there were only a few shipyards.

Inside the dismantling house at this moment, it was reeking of alcohol in broad daylight.

On the tattered sofa, many people were lying on the ground. It seemed they had partied hard last night.

His Observation Haki quickly spread out. After confirming there were no hidden surveillance, Wilton's first glance upon entering the house fell on Franky.

He was lying between two women with square hairstyles wearing bikinis.

Too conspicuous.

He wore black briefs, his hands were somewhat large due to modifications, and his blue flattop hairstyle was very noticeable.

If he remembered correctly.

The Pluton blueprints were inside Franky's belly. That guy had modified his own body into a cyborg; he was undoubtedly a genius.

With technology like this, even the modern world couldn't achieve it.

But in the world of pirates, it was incredibly common. The technology in the pirate world was truly hard to describe – it was both advanced and backward.

You could only say it was bizarre.

BOOM--

Wilton's eyes widened, and an overwhelmingly dominant will filled the room. Everyone who was drunk lost consciousness and fell into a deep slumber.

From awakening to autonomously controlling Conqueror's Haki, Wilton had only needed one life-or-death battle.

It was Doflamingo who helped him awaken, and Doflamingo who helped him master it initially. After all, excluding Recovery, Heal, and Justice Potential, he had already died three times.

The reason he only used skills like Recovery at the last moment every time was because Wilton wanted to stimulate his potential on the brink of death.

Combined with the solid foundation he'd built over the previous five years, he was able to master it so quickly.

This was also why he was confident from the start that he could become an Admiral after the Summit War. He had accumulated enough, he had frantically tested his limits on the edge of death, and he was a transmigrator. With all these advantages, if he still couldn't achieve this level of ability, what kind of cheat would he be?

Even with all these cheats, he still couldn't compare to the protagonist, Luffy. He was taking on a Yonko in just over two years.

The following is an evaluation.

Five stars is a perfect score.

Doflamingo's teaching ability: ★★★.

Evaluation: This person's teaching ability is outstanding, surpassing Pluton Rayleigh, slightly below Katakuri, and far below Kaido.

Knock knock.

He knocked on Franky's steel-like abs. They were indeed hard as iron plates, and there wasn't the slightest trace visible.

Wilton held up two fingers and entered Tekkai state, straightening and poking. He easily pierced through and then pulled outwards, violently opening Franky's abdomen.

Inside was a small refrigerator, with two bottles of cola frozen inside, along with some strange items like a wrench, a handgun, and other weapons or tools.

Searching through, he found no documents or papers.

Wilton frowned. Did Franky not have the Pluton blueprints on him at this time?

Upon closer inspection, Wilton noticed something amiss with the refrigerator's wall, a slight gap that must have been caused by the violent opening.

Good heavens.

There was a hidden compartment?

He lifted that protective film, and several yellowed pieces of paper fell out. Wilton carefully picked them up and opened them. It was exactly what he was looking for.

It seemed he would need to control some scientists in the future, otherwise, it would be difficult to build Pluton.

Who were the famous scientists in the pirate world? There seemed to be many, and the undisputed number one was Vegapunk.

Having obtained the blueprints, Wilton didn't delay. He even thoughtfully closed Franky's small refrigerator before disappearing from Water 7.

Everything happened without anyone noticing.

From start to finish, it had only been about half an hour. He hadn't stopped at all, at most he had slowed down the ship's speed. Then, before the warship had even approached Water 7, he had quickly headed towards the New World.

On this day.

A dog-headed warship, biting a bone and sticking out its tongue, docked at the Impel Down port. A burly man wearing a white suit, a blue tie, and a Vice Admiral's justice coat disembarked.
