Regarding the four individuals who were undercover in Water 7, Lucci and Blueno were sent back first. As for Kaku and Kalifa, they are scheduled to return after a little more time has passed.
Once all the CP members are gathered, I plan to begin instructing them in Haki, and I have already started the necessary preparations. Since Haki abilities vary from person to person, it's not certain, but if we start now, everyone should be able to master Haki by the start of the original storyline.
Due to the emphasis on training, we need to narrow down the missions to some extent... Well, since I've had some free time lately, I can take on a few more missions myself, so there are plenty of ways to handle it.
While pondering these thoughts, I came across an unusual mission in the paperwork. It's an extermination mission targeting pirates. Normally, dealing with pirates is often left to the Marines, and CP rarely receives such missions. CP is more involved with the Revolutionary Army, after all.
The fact that this mission was assigned to us suggests that they must have done something to greatly anger the government... Ah, they probably destroyed some facilities on an island owned by the government... I see.
The pirate captain's bounty is 240 million Berries, and they are the top rookie of their generation, acting all high and mighty.
Well, it's just that someone who isn't favored by fate like the Straw Hat crew, and picks a fight with the colossal organization known as the World Government, is not just reckless but plain suicidal.
"... Pochi, get this done by noon."
"Understood!"
I decided to assign this mission to Pochi. While Pochi primarily assists me and often accompanies me on missions, I occasionally delegate missions to him. Even though he's undergone sufficient training, he still needs regular combat experience to keep his skills sharp.
We have about three hours until noon... Considering Pochi's abilities, including travel time, it shouldn't take more than two hours to reach the current location of the pirate crew.

On a certain island in the Grand Line, pirates were holding a banquet since their captain's bounty had exceeded 200 million after causing a commotion on a World Government-owned island. It was also a celebration for this achievement.
The men were steadily winning in the Grand Line and rising in ranks. They were now called the number one rookie generation, gaining attention.
The captain himself was also in high spirits, thinking that he could reach the Pirate King's position. He raised his glass happily.
Suddenly, at that moment, a popping sound like a burst balloon was heard, and a girl dressed in a black suit descended into the center of the party.
With a youthful face and a petite body, Chelsea, known for her distinctive brown hair tied neatly behind her neck, scanned the faces of the pirates before setting her eyes on the captain.
"... Are you a World Government lapdog?"
"I'm glad everyone is here. I can now assist the captain immediately."
"Hey, girl. Do you even know who we are?"
Ignoring the words of the crew, Chelsea smiled calmly and continued speaking.
"The order is to exterminate. Therefore, I shall execute the justice of darkness."
"...Kill her."
Annoyed by her casual attitude, the captain gave the order, and several crew members drew their swords, getting ready. These pirates had faced their share of strong opponents so far.
However, on this occasion, they had picked the wrong enemy.
"Do you know? The spring wind is gentle. So gentle that you wouldn't notice being cut. Storm Leg: Spring Breeze."
As Chelsea murmured these words, several crew members fell, spouting blood. They were cut with wounds that seemed like they were slashed by sharp blades. It was evident who had done this. Yet, despite everyone's eyes on her, Chelsea appeared to be motionless.
This mysterious display of power led some of the crew members to wield iron shields, thinking they could protect themselves from her attacks.
"Do you know? The summer wind is scorching. Sometimes, it burns to the point of incineration. Storm Leg: Summer Breeze."
Right after Chelsea said that, her leg turned black, and she swung it against the ground. The tremendous friction caused her leg to turn crimson, and she released a red, burning slash that cut through the shields and sliced several crew members in half.
At this point, panic began to appear on the faces of the once proud pirates, including the captain. The word "retreat" was on their minds when Chelsea's figure vanished, and suddenly numerous crew members were sliced and sent flying into the sky, as if being engulfed by a tornado of slashes.
"Do you know? The autumn wind is turbulent. Sometimes, it causes tornadoes. Storm Leg: Autumn Breeze."
It was an astonishingly swift sequence of events. From the moment Chelsea appeared until now, only a few minutes had passed. However, the numerous crew members that had been present were no more. Only the captain remained, pale and holding his sword.
"W-What... who are you... what on earth..."
"Do you know? The winter wind is beautiful. It shines brightly in the sun. Storm Leg: Winter Breeze."
As the trembling captain spoke, Chelsea didn't reply but swung her leg with a calm expression. The captain saw a sparkling and beautiful light, akin to diamond dust. However, it was a multitude of incredibly small slashes.
The man didn't even have time to scream. His body was sliced and shredded as if being rubbed down, ending his life.
"Do you know? When the captain decided to erase all of you, there was no future for you to survive... In the next life, remember that."
Smiling and speaking calmly, Chelsea used Observation Haki to confirm that there were no survivors on the island. She then checked her watch.
"Now, I shall return and prepare lunch for the captain, followed by coffee after the meal."
She didn't retain a trace of memory about the people she had just killed. She was busy confirming her tasks for today, dedicated to her beloved Spandam.
With a leap, she used Storm Leg on the pirate crew's ship on the coast, slicing it in two and sinking it. Afterward, she returned to Enies Lobby, where her beloved master awaited.

After finishing lunch, I took a break while sipping the coffee that Pochi made for me. The missions I assigned to Pochi earlier in the morning have already been completed, and the reports have been submitted perfectly.
As expected, Pochi is truly excellent, isn't she?
"Today's missions are few, so I'll probably have some free time in the afternoon... Maybe I should proceed with the reconstruction plan for Enies Lobby... Pochi, do you have any requests?"
"Requests? Well, I do wish there were more varieties of ingredients available in the shops around here..."
"I see. Many of the stores in the residential area are quite simple... Maybe I should also consider improving the logistics by increasing the number of Sea Trains. We'll need to gather more opinions on this matter."
"I'll prepare a draft for the request regarding the reconstruction of Enies Lobby by the end of today."
"Thank you. Once I finish this coffee, I might do some training and get moving."
"Yes!"
Watching Pochi's fluttering smile and her usual demeanor, I chuckled while sipping my coffee. These relaxed days are quite enjoyable.
