Late at night.
Water 7.
On the dock of this island, a group of people was hiding in the corner. They were the CP9 department who came to welcome their new boss.
Just as the group of CP agents was chatting casually, a tall figure slowly walked toward them. The footsteps were somewhat disturbing in the middle of the night.
The CP agents were immediately alarmed.
Rob Lucci and the others instantly became alert. They watched the tall man walking toward them in the distance and soon saw the appearance of the figure.
"Admiral Aokiji!"
Kalifa, who was among the CP agents, frowned slightly, and her face suddenly showed some doubts, "Admiral Aokiji, how can you be in Water 7?"
"Well, I came to see your new boss..."
Aokiji scratched his hair, looked down at the agents present, and muttered, "You are all here; haven't people come yet?"
"Yes, we will probably have to wait for a while."
Rob Lucci looked at his watch and replied in a low voice, "The last time I contacted them, they said they were not far from Water 7..."
A sea wave interrupted Rob Lucci.
As the tide surged, a merchant ship suddenly appeared from the fog of the night and slowly stopped at the dock.
A group of young men in the same uniform stepped off the boat in groups of three to five. The strange thing was that their posture was a bit strange as if they could launch an attack at any time. These men scattered and looked at the situation on the dock with vigilance.
These men soon noticed Rob Lucci and Aokiji in the corner and immediately surrounded them.
A white-haired young man came out of the group of men in uniform. He looked up at Aokiji, then at the agents of the CP9, and smiled, "Excuse me, do you know how to get to the Galley-La Company?"
"Follow us."
Rob Lucci extended his palm toward the white-haired young man, "I am Rob Lucci, the captain of the CP9."
"Well... I am Hatake Kakashi."
The white-haired man slowly held his hand and turned to Aokiji, and stretched out his hand, "Speaking of which, why is Admiral Aokiji here?
Why do I feel like Sanbi's chakra is about to leak out? Didn't Kabuto help you seal him?"
To be honest...
Kakashi had some impression of Aokiji because this Admiral seemed to be able to fall asleep at any time.
Well, this Admiral was a lazy person.
In this regard, Kakashi thought they were the same kind.
"Well, there is no need to seal."
Aokiji reached out his hand to hold Kakashi's hand, his eyes wandering, "I heard your name from Robin..."
"Ha, is that so?"
Kakashi patted his forehead and slowly turned around. He then ordered, "Alright, this place is safe; go and ask Miss Robin to get off the ship!"
"Yes, Captain Kakashi!"
An Anbu jumped back to the merchant ship.
Aokiji saw this scene and couldn't help but frown, "Why does it feel a little like an aristocratic style... Did something happen that I don't know about?"
"There is nothing we can do about it..."
Kakashi rubbed his forehead and said softly, "After all, we are new here. We don't know much about the first half of the Grandline. The first mission we received was to ensure her safety..."
"..."
Aokiji's eyebrows couldn't help but jump again.
The first half of the Grandline was called a paradise. There were basically no powerful pirates. The only active ones were the Art Pirates, Kakuzu, Hidan, and him, a Marine Admiral who occasionally patrolled...
In short...
For the Akatsuki Organization...
The first half of the Grandline could be considered their back garden!
Just at this time, the sound of high heels clacking entered their ears. A woman wearing a hat slowly walked out of the merchant ship.
The woman stretched out her palm and lowered the brim of her hat. The corners of her mouth revealed a charming smile as she softly said, "Actually, there's no need to be so nervous. We shouldn't encounter any danger in the first half of the Grandline, Mr. Kakashi..."
"Of course, there is no need to worry about danger from the enemy."
Kakashi rubbed his forehead and helplessly replied, "But the danger brought about by our own people is more troublesome... Miss Robin, you shouldn't want to see that guy Kakuzu come over from time to time to invite you to cooperate, right?"
"..."
Nico Robin immediately choked.
That person, Kakuzu, was really hard to describe in words.
Nico Robin shook her head and sighed. She slowly walked to their side and looked up at Admiral Aokiji. Her smile couldn't help but bloom on her face.
"Long time no see, Aokiji."
Nico Robin looked at Admiral Aokiji, tilted her head, smiled, and continued, "I have fulfilled our agreement this year. I lived well in Wano Country and found many new companions. What about you, Aokiji?"
"Oh..."
Aokiji's expression was subtle, and seemed to think of something. He couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "My... relationship with my colleagues has improved a lot..."
This was really embarrassing.
Except for the two Kizaru and Akainu, who improved their relationship a little, Aokiji usually lies on an unknown island to sleep, lies on a frozen sea, hides in Marineford's office to sleep, or sleeps on a bicycle...
Aokiji felt a little ashamed. Nico Robin was seriously living, but he had been sleeping.
"Well, let's not talk too much. I just feel a little worried, so I came to take a look."
Aokiji knocked his finger on Nico Robin's hat and squatted down to look at Robin. He then said in a low voice, "If you encounter any trouble in the future, just call my Den Den Mushi. I'll be leaving first."
Originally, Aokiji was worried that something would happen to Nico Robin and the CP9, so he rushed over from Marineford.
Now it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this side.
Because Nico Robin had brought twenty Anbu members from Wano Country, he could tell that there was no need to worry about her safety.
"Aokiji?"
There was some doubt in Nico Robin's eyes, and couldn't help but frown. She subconsciously reached out her hand and grabbed Aokiji's sleeve, "We just met. Are you leaving so soon?"
"Well, I can't stay here forever."
Aokiji stood up and nodded slowly. He put his hand on Robin's hat and whispered, "Let go. Don't worry about me anymore. I will keep watching you and see how far Akatsuki will go..."
"Aokiji..."
Nico Robin couldn't help but open her mouth to continue.
However, Aokiji just shook his head at Nico Robin and stopped her from saying what she wanted to say. Then he turned and left.
When this tall man walked into the shadow, he pushed out a bicycle from the side, slowly rode the bike, and disappeared into the night.
There was a whistle in the night...
It was obvious that Aokiji was in a good mood.
Kakashi scratched his white hair and looked at the place where Aokiji disappeared in the dark. He sighed, "That guy... is a cool guy!"
"..."
The corner of Nico Robin's mouth revealed a smile. The next moment, she turned to look at Rob Lucci and the other CP9 members. Her face returned to a solemn expression.
"Alright, let's find a place first!"
Nico Robin's gaze gradually became serious. She continued in a low voice, "According to the order of Mr. Uehara and Akatsuki Suprem Council, I will purge the CP9 department... Mr. Rob Lucci, who was your immediate superior before?"
"..."
The expressions of the CP agents present were subtle.
Because their CP9 department had been in charge of capturing Nico Robin before, but she had often escaped...
They really didn't expect that...
Nico Robin was actually going to become their commander!
Rob Lucci didn't hesitate and said, "Some time ago, all CP departments of the World Government, including some members of CP0, authorized the Marine Headquarters Staff Officer Vice Admiral Kabuto to be our immediate superior..."
"It's our own people..."
Kakashi rolled his eyes and slowly said, "It seems that the mission should be a little easier..."
"Yes, Mr. Kabuto is actually better at these things than me."
Nico Robin nodded slowly and said in a low voice, "Let's find a place to settle down first. For the time being, Water 7 will be our base camp. I will discuss with Mr. Kabuto to see if we can control Enies Lobby in the future..."
This sentence doesn't sound quite right...
The Devil Child, with a bounty of more than two hundred million Beli and a wanted criminal who was wanted by the World Government for more than ten years, actually wanted to control Enies Lobby...
Enies Lobby, Marineford, and Impel Down...
These were the most important places in the marine.
The eyes of the CP9 agents were somewhat subtle. Why did it make people feel that Nico Robin, this woman... was somewhat ignorant?
But...
Life was often more exciting than imagined.
After Nico Robin returned to the first half of the Grandline, she gradually sent out an Anbu team to pretend to be the revolutionary army in the first half of Grandline, gradually making World Government anxious.
Kabuto had to apply to the Five Elder Stars to expand the CP department.
This secret agent organization had always been very cautious in recruiting members. It was basically not known to outsiders. Therefore, after a short period of time, the Five Elder Stars approved this plan.
In any case, they only paid attention to the CP0, and the rest of the CP department had to be tossed around.
The twenty Anbu teams that Nico Robin brought over from Wano Country were slowly placed in the CP9. These ninjas were not weak and were very disciplined.
Saying it was overpowering...
It was really not an exaggeration at all.
Enies Lobby also became the CP9 base after the expansion. Kabuto, the marine staff officer, applied to be the highest officer in Enies Lobby.
Time slowly passed.
In the first half of the Grandline, the eyes and ears of the Akatsuki Organization spread to seven routes, and in the latter half of the Grandline, the Akatsuki Organization also developed and flourished.
Three years later.
Three years after Uehara and the others came to this sea, the sea gradually began to calm down, but under this calm, there was a greater storm hidden.
Uehara also received Kabuto's Den Den Mushi call.
"There are more and more pirates in the world. Eustace Kidd in the South Blue, Hawkins and Trafalgar Law in the North Blue. This group of new people seems to be very lively. Capone Becky in the West Blue is estimated to enter the Grandline soon..."
"What about East Blue?"
Uehara couldn't help but be curious.
Why was there no news of the pirates on East Blue's side?
Luffy, the man who claimed to become the Pirate King, hasn't gathered his companions yet, or did he use a swordsman called Roronoa Zoro as a navigator?
There was some doubt in Kabuto's voice, "The East Blue only has a bunch of little pirates like Buggy the Clown and Krieg Pirates... There seem to be no newcomers this year... It's still the weakest sea.
However, Vice Admiral Garp lost his temper some time ago. His grandson Monkey D. Luffy seems to have become a pirate. I remember that Vice Admiral Garp's hometown is East Blue."
When he said this, Kabuto suddenly thought of something. He suddenly said, "I have received a message here. A few days ago, Dracule Mihawk seemed to have gone to East Blue. I wonder what his purpose is..."
"... Kabuto, transfer me back!"
Uehara touched his chin and slowly said, "As a marine, I have been on vacation at Wano Country. I feel a bit sorry for the justice in his body..."
