Roy sat cross-legged on the top floor of the palace, his eyes slightly closed, unleashing the full power of his Telekinesis Fruit.
His consciousness was like an invisible net, covering the entire main island of Hachinosu and the surrounding sea area.
The presence of those five CP0 agents was as clear to him as a campfire in the dark.
It's not just them.
In the port area, three decoy spies disguised as merchants are lying in the hold of a cargo ship, pretending to be asleep.
In the commercial district, two spies lurking in a shop are using specially made binoculars to observe the activity in a distant laboratory.
In a residential area, a female agent disguised as an old woman is huddled in a rented room, with a radio transmitter hidden beside her.
In the waters surrounding the fortress, a pitch-black ghost ship lies silently anchored in the shadows of the reefs, with ten people on board for the mission.
Thirty-seven infiltrators.
Every location, every aura, every movement was completely exposed under Roy's Telekinesis.
He opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.
"All personnel, listen to my command!"
The Telekinesis transformed into invisible commands, instantly entering the minds of every core member.
All targets have been identified.
"As planned, the entire area will be cleared."
"Leave no survivors."
The tranquility of Hachinosu was shattered in the next second.
Bullet was the first to make a move.
He transformed into White Tiger: Human-Beast Form and leaped from the Trial Island like a white meteor, crashing directly into the disguised cargo ship in the port area!
boom--!!!
A deafening roar shook the heavens, and the cargo ship was smashed in two!
The three decoy spies in the cabin didn't even have time to react.
He was jolted awake by the violent shockwave, coughing up blood and collapsing onto the shattered deck.
"Too weak!"
Bullet grinned maliciously, then lifted the three men up, one in each hand.
He casually tossed it toward the Seastone prison cart that had been prepared on the shore.
At the same time, in the commercial district.
Tesoro transformed into a golden bolt of lightning and instantly appeared in front of a shop.
The two spies inside the shop had just woken up and hadn't even had time to grab their weapons.
He was struck precisely by two thick bolts of lightning, and collapsed, his body convulsing.
"Sorry, the shop is going to be acquired."
Tesoro clapped his hands and looked at the approaching guards.
"Take away."
Residential area.
A dark shadow slid silently across the street and disappeared into the rented room.
Inside the room, the female agent, disguised as an old woman, had just picked up the transmitter when the shadow suddenly solidified into a human form— Lucci!
His right hand transformed into a jet-black leopard claw, imbued with Armament Haki, and instantly gripped the female agent's throat.
"Don't move."
The chilling voice seemed to come from hell.
The female agent froze, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She didn't even see how the other person appeared.
Outer sea area.
Hawk Eyes stood at the bow of a speedboat, Black Blade Yoru held horizontally in his hand.
Ahead, the pitch-black ghost ship is trying to speed away.
"Trying to run away?"
Hawk Eyes waved his hand casually.
A pale green slash, as thin as a hair yet perfectly condensed, silently swept across the sea.
The next second, the ghost ship's mast snapped off at the base, and the hull was precisely cleaved in two!
The ten crew members on the ship screamed as they fell into the sea and were captured one by one by the Fish-Man warriors who had been lying in ambush.
Meanwhile, abandoned warehouses.
The five CP0 elites finally noticed the anomaly.
"Something's wrong!" Silver Fox jumped to his feet. "It's so quiet outside! And that explosion just now—"
Before the words were even finished, the warehouse's iron door was kicked open!
Crocodile, a cigar dangling from his lips, walked in slowly, followed by the bear and Kyros.
Good evening, everyone.
Amidst the swirling smoke, his smile was chillingly cold.
"Welcome to Hachinosu, your final destination."
"Damn it! We've fallen for their trap!"
The Silver Fox roared, instantly entering battle mode, its entire body covered in Armament Haki!
The other four also suddenly sprang into action, unleashing Six Powers at once, and attacked Crocodile and his two companions!
However, as soon as they took a step, they felt their bodies suddenly sink!
An invisible, immense force pressed down from all directions, pinning them to the spot, rendering them unable to move!
"What--"
Silver Fox struggled to look up and saw a black figure standing silently at the warehouse entrance.
Roy.
His eyes gleamed with a ghostly light, and he activated his Telekinesis Fruit full power, transforming it into an invisible gravity field that firmly imprisoned the five CP0 elites.
"You think you've hidden it well?"
Roy slowly walked into the warehouse, his Black Blade Shusui, still sheathed.
"But from the moment you stepped onto Hachinosu, every step you took was under my watchful eye."
Despair flashed in the Silver Fox's eyes, but it quickly turned into madness.
"Kill me! You won't get any information from me!"
He bit down hard on his back teeth—where the poison capsule was hidden.
However, the moment his teeth touched the capsule, a golden flash of electricity appeared.
Tesoro was already in front of him, grabbing his chin with one hand and forcibly prying it open!
"Want to die? Did you even ask me?"
Tesoro sneered, took the capsule from the Silver Fox's mouth, and casually crushed it.
"None of you five will escape."
Five minutes later, all five CP0 elites were bound like dumplings with Seastone chains and taken to the underground prison.
Crocodile walked up to Roy, looked at the disheveled figures, and sneered.
"All thirty-seven infiltrators have been captured; not one escaped."
"So, Captain, shall we begin the interrogation?"
Roy nodded.
"Review."
An underground prison, an interrogation room.
Silver Fox was kept in solitary confinement, his entire body locked in Seastone shackles, unable to move.
Roy sat quietly in the chair in front of him, with Lucci and Crocodile standing behind him.
"What you're called doesn't matter, and neither does your code name."
Roy spoke calmly,
"I only want to know one thing...?"
Silver Fox sneered, "Do you think I would say that?"
Roy didn't respond, but simply raised his hand slightly.
The Telekinesis surged into the Silver Fox's brain, beginning to directly read his memories.
The Silver Fox's body trembled violently, its eyes rolled back, and it let out a shrill scream!
This is a deeper application of the Telekinesis Fruit — Mental Intrusion.
Although brutal, it was highly effective in interrogating stubborn individuals.
A dozen seconds later, Roy withdrew his Telekinesis, and Silver Fox was already slumped in the chair, foaming at the mouth and with unfocused eyes.
" The Five Elders personally gave the order."
Roy stood up and looked at Crocodile.
"The objective is Bloodline Transplantation technology; capture Dr. Gracia; and dismantle the foundation of our fighting force."
"Their plan was to withdraw immediately after the attack, with the main naval force engaging in a frontal confrontation to cover their retreat."
Crocodile frowned.
" The Five Elders have personally given the order... This is troublesome."
Roy laughed.
"No, this is a good thing."
"Good news?"
"That's right." A cold glint flashed in Roy's eyes. "This shows they're panicking."
"If a direct assault fails, then resort to underhanded tactics."
Now that their underhanded tactics have failed, what will they do?
Crocodile seemed thoughtful. "Change targets?"
"Right."
"Since they can't take it by force and the infiltration has failed, they'll switch to a different strategy—"
Eliminate our allies.
" The Sun Pirates, and... Kaido of Wano Country."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the encrypted Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang urgently.
Roy took out Den Den Mushi and answered the call.
Kaido's furious roar came from the other end, making the Den Den Mushi tremble slightly.
" Roy!!!"
"Something's happened in Wano Country!!!"
