"If the plan fails, you will submit a report to Jabra as I said. They have secured the blueprints for Pluto and taken Kalifa hostage during their escape!" Several officers exchanged glances, silently ignoring Spandam's statement.
Who would dare take on such a responsibility? Was this a joke about one's career prospects?

Ten days later, James finally received news from the his elite Priests.
"So, my Strike Team is captured by Gekko Moria?"
The God's Shock Troop was a specialized unit composed of Shandian warriors, with `Wiper´, the strongest warrior among them, serving as its temporary captain.
His Den Den Mushi, resembling Shura, relayed the situation with beads of sweat on it´s forehead. He had diligently defended the his strike Team.
"Yes, Lord God, they acted prudently and did not seek unnecessary risks. The waters in that region are treacherous and unpredictable. Approaching too closely would result in being dragged into Gekko Moria's formidable three-masted ship."
James had no intention of blaming them. As long as they fulfilled their assigned tasks, they were commendable subordinates.
"I presume you have all reached the Devil's Triangle?"
"Yes, Emperor. I have informed the other priests, and they will be assembled at the Devil's Triangle shortly."
"Acknowledged. Await my arrival there."
"Kacha~" After disconnecting the Den Den Mushi call, James transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished, his figure darting from Sky Island towards the Devil's Triangle.
There existed mother and child clams on Sky Island. Each mother clam possessed several child clams, which always faced their respective mother clam. These child clams served as a means for the holder to determine the location of the holder of the mother clam.
After a while, James landed on a vessel flying the flag of his Divine Kingdom.
"God-Sama!" The priests and the Guards exclaimed in unison.
"Hmm?" James's eyes narrowed, and a bolt of lightning struck the divine army without hesitation. Before anyone could react, a blinding light flashed before their eyes.
"Hiss~Ahhh!!" Then, a high-pitched, sharp, and uncontrollable scream of agony reverberated through the air, followed by the sudden appearance of a long-haired man adorned in opulent garments with a terrifying face resembling that of a lion's head.
"It seems there was a rat boarding this ship~" James settled leisurely upon the his seat, while numerous divine soldiers, taking advantage of Absalom's vulnerability, charged forward and impaled him onto the deck.
"When boarding a Ship, didn't you conduct a thorough inspection?"
"God-sama, we conducted a thorough search but failed to locate him. It is possible that our sight and hearing abilities are inferior to yours," Shura stammered nervously, afraid to breathe.
The Haki contents taught to everyone on Sky Island originated from this half-baked self-taught individual [MC]. The content was merely a rudimentary elaboration of Professor Rayleigh's teachings regarding domineering aura to Luffy.
The Haki imparted in this manner was far from comprehensive compared to that taught by Rayleigh himself or the ancient and formidable forces residing in the New World.
However, as long as one could practice it, it would suffice.
It would not be too late to delve into the more comprehensive aspects of Haki, such as Boa Hancock's Amazon Lily's Haki training methods, at a later stage.
"Who are you?" Absalom convulsed slightly from the electric shock but remained defiant even in captivity. Instead, he threatened sinisterly:
"This is the territory of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gekko Moriah. If you want to live, release me and get lost immediately, or Captain Moria will unleash his wrath on you!"
"Are you finished?" James picked his ears expressionlessly.
"Hmm? You... haven't you heard of my Master Gekko Moria?" Observing that everyone remained calm and unaffected by his words, Absalom grew increasingly agitated.
With a dismissive wave of his hand, James signaled to the divine soldiers who understood instantly. They swarmed forward, wielding their swords to surgically separate Absalom's head from his body.
"Wait!! You can't..." Before Absalom could complete his sentence, his hideous lion-faced head flew off.
White lightning lingered in James's hand. He flicked it casually and snatched Absalom's Devil Fruit. The Clear-Clear Fruit held some potential for application, but it was ultimately too insignificant for him.
The power of Clear-Clear Fruit enabled the user's body to allow visible light to pass through, achieving a translucent effect.
However, transparency was limited to concealing the person´s body itself; sound and smell could not be hidden. In this new world where individuals capable of using Haki were prevalent, those possessing the Clear-Clear Fruit would easily be detected.
[Why did Shiryu of the Rain choose to eat this Clear-Clear Fruit that offered little enhancement? Could it be that he was also similarly to Sanji….]
"Door - storage room!"
A door the size of a head materialized abruptly in the void beside James. He reached inside and deposited the power of the Clear-Clear Fruit into a prepared fruit.
This was the result of his developing the Door-Door Fruit these past days.
The other end of the door connected to the collection room of the Sky Island Shrine.
The principle involved establishing a permanent object transfer portal within his collection room, allowing him to open corresponding doors in other locations to transport items to the collection room.
However, his current development progress allowed him to maintain only one such teleportation gate. Opening another would force the previous one to be closed.
Equipped with this fruit application, he possessed a portable storage space. He could even enter the portal himself and return to Sky Island instantaneously...
[A/N: Bro got himself a Kamui]
At that moment, five ships flying the flags of the Divine Kingdom lay motionless upon the waves. The faces of the divine soldiers were solemn, none dared to utter a sound.
"Have all the divine soldiers assembled?" James retracted his gaze and sat down on the throne next to the mast.
"God-sama, the four great priests and five divine guards are all ready, awaiting your commands! However, the sixth team is too far away and will not arrive in time."
"Since most of our forces are present, let us attack!"
"CHARGE!!!"
The divine soldiers rubbed their hands in anticipation and steered their Large Ships deep into the Devil's Triangle.
After a while, an eerie and terrifying atmosphere gradually enveloped them, punctuated by a few long, ghostly wails and singing-like tunes that shattered the silence.
"Yohohohoho~"
"Going to deliver Binks' Sake!~?"
"Following the sea breeze! Riding on the waves!~?"
‟Far across the salty depths! The merry evening sun!~"
The song and the music abruptly stopped, and in its wake, a medium-sized pirate ship materialized before them.
However, it appeared weathered and aged, resembling an antique Ghost Ship.
It was remarkable that such a vessel could still navigate these turbulent seas, implying that the materials used in its construction were exceptionally rare.
Without awaiting James's orders, Shura dispatched his divine soldiers to board the pirate ship and investigate the situation.
"My Lord God, there is no one aboard...only a human-shaped skeleton."
Bones… is that fckin Brook?
James understood and gave the command:
"Oh? Bring that human-shaped bone over here!"
After a few breaths, the divine soldiers carried Brook on their shoulders and returned to James's ship. They then placed Brook on the ground beside James before stepping aside.
[That´s all for now]
