Now, CP9 was entirely on Byakuya's pirate ship. The murder of Spandam would soon be discovered.
When their superiors couldn't contact them, they would likely be suspected.
Moreover, Byakuya had a video of them reciting the organization's slogan, leaving them no room for regret.
However, it wasn't all bad; they no longer had to carry out the World Government's missions and continue their covert operations.
Since things had come to this point, Lucci decided to reveal their secret mission to Byakuya as a show of loyalty.
Lucci said slowly, "Boss, CP9 has been undercover in Water 7 for nearly four years to obtain the plans for the legendary ancient weapon."
The rest of CP9 were shocked that Lucci would reveal their greatest secret so quickly, as this was entirely out of character for him.
But Lucci felt it necessary to show their value now that they had chosen to join the 'Night' organization, hoping to earn Byakuya's favour for their future.
Byakuya looked at Lucci approvingly, thinking that this guy had potential.
Perhaps he could even compete with Quake for the top subordinate position.
Byakuya said calmly, "Oh, the plans for Pluton."
CP9 was so stunned that they nearly dropped their pants. Byakuya even knew about Pluton's plans? What didn't he know?
Seeing their shocked expressions, Byakuya scoffed, "Why are you so surprised? I also know there's a Pluton warship in Alabasta."
(T/N: This Novel starts and ends in 2022. So, I cannot simply edit or alter it to follow the current timeline.)
This statement left them even more terrified, their legs turning to jelly. So, the plans the World Government coveted so much meant nothing to him?
Even a warship capable of destroying an island with a single blast didn't faze him?
In truth, Byakuya wasn't impressed by the so-called ancient weapon Pluton. Who knew its condition after all these years, or how many of its weapons still worked?
It might even sink as soon as it went to sea. Besides, relying on external weapons was for the weak; true strength came from within.
If Byakuya's fusion level increased slightly, he could destroy an island with a single punch.
Seeing everyone still in shock, Byakuya said, "Now that you've joined the 'Night' organization, you need to look further ahead."
"Focus on improving your own strength and don't worry about trivial matters. Our goal is world peace!"
Byakuya's words made Lucci and the others feel like they had joined an extraordinary organization that didn't even care about ancient weapons.
They felt their blood boiling and were filled with determination. Seeing their enthusiasm, Byakuya was pleased. "I have a mission for you to complete."
Ignoring his discomfort, Lucci stood up eagerly. "Boss, give the order, and we will complete it."
Byakuya nodded. "This task is perfect for you." These were all CP9's specialties.
Moreover, this was Byakuya's first time assigning them a mission, so they had to complete it perfectly without flaws.
"I want to build a ship using the Treasure Tree Adam as the keel. You and Kaku are two of the five foremen at the shipyard, right?"
"I'll leave this to you. Make sure you do it well!"
"Boss, you can count on us, we—" Lucci was stunned.
"Wait, build a ship?" He was taken aback.
"You recruited CP9, a professional intelligence organization, to build a ship?"
Not only Lucci but also Kalifa and the others were dumbfounded by Byakuya's sudden change of direction.
Their previously boiling blood instantly cooled down.
Seeing everyone's deflated expressions, Byakuya was confused. "What's wrong? Isn't shipbuilding your expertise?"
Lucci forced a smile. "Boss, you didn't have to recruit us. We would have built the ship for you regardless."
"I know that," Byakuya said matter-of-factly. "But by recruiting you, I don't have to pay for it."
"You..." Lucci was so enraged that his injuries flared up, and he passed out. Blueno and the others hurriedly supported him.
Kalifa glared at Byakuya with wide eyes, grinding her teeth in frustration.
Byakuya shrugged. "Hurry up and treat Lucci's injuries. Don't delay the shipbuilding. Also, your strength is too weak. You need more training."
CP9's strength was indeed lacking on the vast seas.
But this was because they hadn't had time to train while undercover, causing their abilities to stagnate.
In reality, their talents were exceptional. Being selected by the World Government to join CP9 proved their innate abilities.
With proper training, their strength would undoubtedly improve significantly. "Oh, there's one more thing I need you to do."
...
Half an hour later, with Blueno's assistance, Kaku and Jabra successfully brought Iceburg and Franky to Byakuya.
When Iceburg and Franky regained consciousness, they were alone in a room with Byakuya. CP9 had already left.
Byakuya hadn't hidden his identity from CP9, letting them know that Marine Rear Admiral Byakuya was the founder of the 'Night' organization.
This was because, after betraying the World Government, CP9 would face relentless pursuit.
Even if CP9 wanted to betray Byakuya, no one would believe the words of traitors.
Moreover, Byakuya was not just any Marine Rear Admiral; he was part of Marine Headquarters.
In addition to his formidable strength, he had Chief Instructor Zephyr as his mentor, Fleet Admiral Sengoku as his uncle, and Admiral Aokiji's support.
The world government wouldn't suddenly turn against Byakuya unless it were something extraordinarily significant, like publicly killing a Celestial Dragon.
Hence, Byakuya revealed his true identity to CP9.
