At the Asriel Royal Palace, a middle-aged man with a beard, Giniel, found King Gallos and used the World Government's authority to make him agree to his suggestions. Furthermore, the order was to be sent to Sagamia that very day. Gallos was incredibly frustrated. The World Government was blatantly interfering in his country's internal affairs. However, Giniel simply stated that the king could protest at the next World Conference.
Gallos's order quickly reached Sagamia. Mayor Zelas, who had just returned, was shocked when he received King Gallos's command. People from the World Government had gone directly to the king and forced him to order the abandonment of Nico Robin.
He immediately contacted the king to confirm if this was true. After talking to him, he became even more agitated, as it turned out to be the truth. Nico Robin, as a rare Devil Fruit user, was crucial to his future plans, but now he had to give her up.
Since the king had already decided, he couldn't object or risk losing his position as mayor. At this moment, he truly realized the power of the World Government. The king of a dignified World Government-affiliated country could be made to obey the orders of a random CP agent.
"Isha, where is Nico Robin right now?" Zelas asked his assistant.
Isha raised her hand, pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, and replied, "She contacted me this morning and said she had already arrived in Sagamia. She'll be here at noon to see you."
Zelas tried to pull Isha onto his lap, but she skillfully dodged him. "Mayor Zelas, please stop your sexual harassment!" Isha said with an ice-cold expression.
Zelas didn't care about her rejection. He inhaled the scent of Isha in the air and asked, "Isha, now that the World Government has targeted Nico Robin and the king has ordered me to abandon her, what do you think we should do to maximize our interests?"
"Hmm," she paused, deep in thought. "Since we have no choice but to give up on Nico Robin, a powerful asset, we can make her burn her last embers. We can make a deal with those CP agents, preferably establishing a connection with them so we have some assurance after entering the Grand Line.
I firmly believe those agents will gladly agree to this condition. Their most urgent desire right now is to take Nico Robin away. As long as our stance is as firm as steel, I believe they will nod in agreement. However, we must first communicate with the king and tell him that we can cooperate with the CP agents' actions, asking him not to publicize Nico Robin's matter for now." Isha's suggestions were orderly and clear.
"Hahahaha, that's a good idea! I'll contact the king right away. Isha, get everyone ready. When Nico Robin arrives at noon, take her down immediately!" Zelas laughed happily at Isha.
After leaving Zelas's office, Isha let out a deep sigh. Her eyes revealed a stern look, and after composing herself, she began to arrange the matters for noon.
Approaching noon, Andy finally arrived in Sagamia and successfully found Zelas's location. Zelas was well-known here; after all, he was once a mountain bandit with a bounty of 23,000,000 Berries. His methods of ruling Sagamia were brutal, so finding his residence was very easy.
This time, Andy applied some makeup, put on two fake beards, and wore a more mature outfit. He first booked a room in a nearby inn. This time, it wasn't a beautiful landlady but a middle-aged man. After successfully booking a room on the top floor, he, unnoticed, slipped from the room onto the rooftop. He then leaped over the rooftops of buildings, approaching the mayor's office building. He needed to scout the area first.
After sneaking into the mayor's office building, Andy carefully surveyed the environment. On the third floor, hidden in a room, he discovered that preparations seemed to be underway. He then heard a woman's voice.
"When she arrives here at noon, you must immediately take her down with superior force, do not give her a chance to resist…" Andy had just heard a rough outline when he heard someone approaching, so he immediately slipped out of the office building and returned to the inn the way he came.
He recalled the information he had just heard. It seemed they were preparing to capture someone at noon. What kind of person was it, that they needed to lure them here before making a move? Andy shook his head, no longer thinking about it.
He came here for Zelas's head, which was worth 23,000,000 Berries. Without further thought, it was more important to find a bar and gather more information, so Andy immediately went downstairs. After a few glances on the street, he walked into a bar opposite Zelas's office building.
This time, he didn't order alcohol but a glass of juice. This action immediately drew ridicule from the people in the bar, as people who order juice in a bar are usually children, and Andy, with his height and appearance, looked like an adult. However, Andy ignored them and chatted idly with the owner standing at the bar.
Suddenly, Andy's gaze swept towards the door and saw Nico Robin walk into the mayor's office building, which made his brows furrow. It was already noon, and the information he had just heard was that the people inside were preparing to capture someone at noon.
Could this person be Nico Robin? But hadn't she already joined Zelas's group? Andy felt something was off. Thinking of this, he immediately paid and left the bar. After returning to his room at the inn, he changed his disguise again and approached the mayor's office building.
Meanwhile, inside the mayor's office building, the ever-vigilant Nico Robin didn't go upstairs at all. The moment she entered the lobby, she immediately sensed something was wrong. Upon learning that Nico Robin hadn't gone upstairs, Isha's fair forehead furrowed.
Had she discovered their intentions? So she decided to go down and lure her up. Although they could act on the first floor, it would be too exposed, so she hadn't arranged many people there. The people arranged on the first floor were only there in case Nico Robin tried to escape, so they could intercept her.
"Nico Robin, Mayor Zelas has been waiting for you for a long time…" As soon as Isha came down, she saw Nico Robin preparing to leave.
Nico Robin gave Isha a deep look, then continued walking towards the door. "Stop!" Isha immediately shouted in anger. In an instant, six guards with guns blocked Nico Robin's path. The people upstairs also rushed down. But Nico Robin was prepared. She immediately used her Hana Hana no Mi ability. In just the blink of an eye, twelve arms sprouted on the people blocking her path.
"Dos Fleur: Twist!" With a series of "crunch crunch" sounds of bones breaking, twelve guards were knocked out by Robin. She then immediately ran out of the mayor's office building. "Everyone, chase her!" Isha immediately ordered.
