"How frightening. Are you planning to commit murder on our territory?"
Everyone in the office instinctively looked up toward the window.
A wisp of flame and a drifting ball of white cloud slowly floated in through the open window.
At that same moment, a thin strand of flame split from the blazing figure and shot forward, aiming directly at the claw like hand that was reaching for the young secretary.
The flame landed on the Special Agent's hand.
A sharp sizzling sound filled the room.
"Ah!"
The white clothed government agent cried out in pain and immediately withdrew his hand.
Strangely, the young secretary's expression remained calm. She showed no sign of panic, as if she had already expected this outcome.
The flame and cloud drifted down into the office.
As they touched the floor, they gradually transformed into two women.
Everyone present felt their pupils shrink in shock when they clearly saw their faces.
The masked man sitting in the mayor's chair spoke first, his voice filled with disbelief.
"Fire Fist Lina. White Fist Nami."
Ever since Rolan and the Ion Tempest crew had rescued Iceburg from the World Government before, no government forces had dared approach Water 7 again.
Many people believed that once Rolan had obtained the blueprints of Pluton, he no longer had any interest in Iceburg or Water 7.
But now the navigator and one of the main fighters of Ion Tempest had appeared here.
They had even intervened to save Iceburg's young secretary.
Their appearance openly revealed that Water 7 still had a close connection with Rolan.
Iceburg looked at the two women with surprise.
"Miss Lina, Miss Nami, why are you here?"
Lina casually pointed toward the masked man sitting in the mayor's seat, then turned to Iceburg.
"Rolan predicted that after the Marineford War, the World Government might come after you. He told us to come here and move Water 7 to Peach Garden."
After the war at Marineford, the prestige of both the World Government and the Marines had suffered a serious blow.
If the government could quickly eliminate places that were connected to Rolan and his crew, it could weaken the rising influence of Ion Tempest and warn the rest of the world.
Among the islands connected to Rolan, only Water 7 and Fish Man Island had a close relationship.
Fish Man Island was located ten thousand meters beneath the sea. The fish men and merfolk possessed a natural advantage in the deep ocean.
Because of that, attacking Fish Man Island would be extremely difficult.
Water 7, on the other hand, was a much easier target.
Because of this, while returning to Peach Garden after the war, Rolan had already instructed Lina and Nami to travel to Water 7 and relocate the entire city to the New World.
As expected, his prediction had been correct.
The World Government really had taken action.
Fortunately, Lina and Nami arrived in time. If they had been even slightly late, Iceburg and his secretary might already be dead.
Iceburg felt genuine gratitude after hearing this.
Rolan was now acknowledged as the strongest man in the world, and the Ion Tempest crew stood at the top of the pirate era.
Despite reaching such heights, he still remembered Water 7.
Originally, the greatest value Water 7 had to Rolan was the stack of Pluton blueprints.
Now that those blueprints were no longer a factor, Rolan still chose to protect the island.
Iceburg could not help sighing with admiration.
"Mr. Rolan truly plans for everything."
Meanwhile, one of the black suited government agents quietly leaned toward the masked man and whispered.
"Sir, White Fist and Fire Fist are here. Should we consider..."
The masked man immediately understood what he meant.
Escape.
His eyes turned cold as he glared at the subordinate.
"Idiot. They are only two women from Ion Tempest. What are you afraid of?"
As a high ranking agent of the World Government, the idea of fleeing was unacceptable.
Even if Rolan himself appeared here, retreat was not an option.
At that moment Nami calmly spoke to Iceburg.
"Is there anything you need to prepare? We will move Water 7 to the New World today. It is better to leave quickly before certain rats cause more trouble."
While speaking, her eyes briefly moved toward the masked man sitting in the mayor's chair.
The masked man naturally noticed her gaze.
Anger immediately rose in his chest.
"Iceburg. After receiving protection from the World Government, you still dare to collaborate with Rolan and his pirate crew. This is a direct challenge to the authority of the World Government."
As soon as his voice fell, a powerful aura burst from his body.
The atmosphere inside the room instantly became tense and oppressive.
Lina placed a hand on her chest in exaggerated surprise.
"How scary. Is he that strong? He feels like a monster."
Then she turned to Nami.
"Sister Nami, are you handling him or should I?"
Nami calmly shook her head.
"Let's do it together. Finish it quickly."
The seven government agents clenched their teeth in anger when they heard the conversation.
It sounded as if the two women were choosing items in a market.
The masked man could no longer tolerate the humiliation.
"Whether you are White Fist or Fire Fist, today all of you will become dead fists."
He slammed both hands onto the chair and shot forward like an arrow.
Nami raised her hand.
Her entire right arm instantly transformed into a long stream of white cloud.
With a simple flick of her wrist, the cloud stretched outward like a whip.
The elongated cloud wrapped around the masked man in midair and restrained him instantly.
The cloud tightened like a net, trapping him completely.
"Damn it!"
The masked man struggled violently, but the cloud whip wrapped around him only tightened further.
Shock filled his mind.
He had never expected that Nami, who served as the navigator of Ion Tempest, possessed such overwhelming strength.
His own combat power was comparable to that of an elite Marine Vice Admiral.
Yet he had been restrained in a single move.
It was an instant defeat.
The six remaining agents cried out in shock.
"Lord Yowai!"
"Lord Yowai!"
They were often active across the seas and had heard countless rumors about Rolan and the Ion Tempest crew.
Among government agents there was even an unspoken rule.
If you encountered Ion Tempest, run.
Escape immediately and avoid battle at all costs.
When these agents first received orders to capture Iceburg at Water 7, their hearts had already sunk.
However, they later learned that a high ranking government agent would lead the mission.
That information gave them hope.
Now their hope had been wrapped into a cocoon by Nami's cloud.
The six agents exchanged glances.
There was no escape left.
If they were going to die, they would fight.
All six of them charged toward Nami.
"So many people. How frightening."
Lina's voice carried a playful tone.
Then her expression shifted.
"I have never dealt with this many black rats before."
She lifted her slender hand.
Green glowing flames burst forward and shot toward the six agents.
"Soru."
"Soru."
The six men instantly vanished from their original positions.
In the next moment they appeared directly in front of Lina.
Her eyes widened slightly. She had not expected all six of them to master Rokushiki's Soru.
Before she could react further, six Finger Pistols struck her body.
Six holes instantly appeared in her torso.
"Miss Lina!"
Iceburg was shocked by the scene.
The young secretary beside him cried out in panic.
"Big sister!"
This woman had just saved her moments ago.
Yet now she seemed to have been killed by the government agents.
But one of the agents suddenly shouted in alarm.
"Fire! Not good. Physical attacks don't work against her."
The green flames flickered again.
