Inside Dock 1 of the Galley-La Company.
Kaku and Lucci, as usual, were repairing various damaged ships.
For five years, this had become their routine: eating, sleeping, then repairing and building ships, doing all work related to ships.
"The higher-ups have given us a final ultimatum; we must bring the blueprint back within a month." Kaku said, tapping and banging, as he looked at Lucci beside him.
Hearing this, Lucci's expression subtly changed. He glanced around, and upon seeing no one was paying attention, he whispered, "Kaku, be mindful of your identity."
As excellent agents of the World Government, how could they reveal their secret mission in broad daylight?
Kaku, however, shook his head dismissively, "No one will hear us."
Inside Dock 1, there were so many people, the environment was noisy, and there was no one near them.
What he was most worried about now were the severe consequences of failing the mission.
The World Government's pursuit was no laughing matter.
"Don't worry, we will definitely…"
"After five years of undercover work, you still haven't succeeded. You think you can complete the mission in a month?! Ridiculous!"
"Who!!!" Lucci and Kaku's aura instantly changed, like two wild beasts.
Both turned at the same time, their gazes fierce, as Reno, accompanied by the two women, strolled towards them.
Kaku narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing within them.
Anyone who knew their identities had to die!
Lucci, however, frowned deeply, lost in thought. He felt that the newcomers looked somewhat familiar.
"Re-Reno?!!!" The next second, he widened his eyes.
"Who is Reno?!" Kaku asked, puzzled.
Even if Reno was a wanted pirate, Lucci, as the strongest fighter of CP9, was reacting too intensely.
"Idiot, he killed Crocodile." Lucci gritted his teeth and glared at Kaku.
He always told this guy to pay more attention to the news on the sea, but he never listened.
"Hmm?!!!" Kaku's face changed, and his vigilance instantly went to maximum.
Although he didn't know Reno, he knew Crocodile.
To be able to kill Crocodile, his strength was not to be underestimated.
"Reno, we don't cross paths. Since you know our identities, don't cause trouble here." Lucci snorted coldly, directly bringing up his backing.
Sometimes, background is more intimidating than strength.
Looking at the two men, who were on high alert, Reno smiled slightly, "I haven't found any trace of Kalifa nearby. Tell me, where is she now 02?!"
Lucci and Kaku were stunned. He came for Kalifa?!
But why?!
"What do you want with Kalifa?!" Lucci watched Reno warily.
All members of CP9 share glory and suffer losses together.
Reno clearly meant trouble, and even if he knew Kalifa's location, he wouldn't tell him.
"My patience is limited. Tell me, where is Kalifa?!!!" Reno narrowed his eyes slightly.
Tashigi and Doll simultaneously took a step forward!
Wado Ichimonji was unsheathed, and Armament Haki covered their entire bodies!
If Lucci said one more word of nonsense, the two women would attack immediately!
Arrogant, overbearing!
Kaku and Lucci both frowned. They had seen people who could put on an act, but never one this audacious.
He just came and demanded someone. Even a clay figure has a bit of temper.
"Attack!!" Kaku and Lucci exchanged glances, instantly understanding each other's intentions.
As agents of the World Government, members of CP9, no one could threaten them.
At a critical moment of the mission, all uncertain factors that could expose their identities had to be eliminated.
They knew Reno's strength was formidable, but if the mission failed, they would face the World Government's pursuit, which was truly a matter of life and death.
"Six Powers Secret Technique, Maximum, Rokuogan Soru!!!"
"Rankyaku!!!"
Lucci and Kaku, one on the left and one on the right, attacked Reno in a pincer movement.
After years of cooperation, their coordination was already seamless, capable of achieving an effect greater than 1+1=2.
Lucci activated his strongest Human-Beast Form, combined with the ultimate secret technique of the Six Powers, launching his strongest attack.
Kaku was not to be outdone, unleashing several sharp slashes with powerful destructive force towards Reno.
"Wait here!" Just as Tashigi and Doll were about to attack, Reno beside them had already vanished.
"So fast!!!"
Kaku and Lucci's pupils constricted. They couldn't see Reno's attack trajectory at all.
"I gave you a chance."
A soft whisper fell, and Reno reappeared beside the two women.
After a second of stunned silence, intense pain swept through their bodies. Lucci and Kaku looked down in disbelief; their chests gushed out large amounts of blood with a 'poof', instantly staining the ground.
The vitality within their bodies rapidly drained, and after exchanging a glance, they fell with a 'bang' into a pool of blood.
No hesitation, instantly killed!
Brrr-brrr
Brrr-brrr
Almost the instant Lucci collapsed, the den den mushi in his pocket rang.
Reno took it out and answered.
An excited female voice immediately came from the other end, "Lucci, I found the devil child Nico Robin at the bookstore. Hurry over."
"As long as we capture Robin, we'll have another great achievement!!!"
"Lucci, did you hear me?!!!"
A moment of silence, no one responded to her.
Only the den den mushi had fallen to the ground.
Behind a large rock not far from the bookstore.
Kalifa, dressed as a blonde woman, frantically slapped the den den mushi's face, which quickly became red and swollen. Had it broken?!
Lucci couldn't possibly ignore someone like Robin, who was highly sought after by the World Government.
Never mind, she could handle it herself.
This was an opportunity not to be missed, it seemed this credit would be hers alone.
Just as Kalifa was secretly pleased and emerged from the shadows, a man and two women suddenly appeared in front of her.
The three of them were smiling at her.
Kalifa was startled, instinctively recoiling.
Reno stood with his arms crossed, carefully observing Kalifa before him:
A full black, tight-fitting hip-hugging dress, with a black fishnet top underneath.
Black fishnet stockings on her lower body, and black pointed high heels on her feet.
She exuded a silky, sophisticated aura, truly the perfect candidate for a secretary.
You're the one, Kalifa!
"You're Reno!!!" Kalifa gasped, her large D's shaking violently due to panic.
Reno nodded in satisfaction; it was the size he liked.
On the other side.
Boom!
Boom!
Terrifying silver lightning descended from the sky, striking Marine Soldiers one by one, causing them to vomit black smoke and fall to the ground.
"You hateful guys, I finally got out to shop, and you have to ruin my mood." Nami stood with her hands on her hips, her face like frost.
She had been shopping happily, buying a large pile of beautiful clothes.
But before she could visit many stores, the Marines here recognized her identity.
And then came the following scene.
"Nami, let's go back," Nojiko said, rubbing her forehead helplessly.
Sometimes, being too famous wasn't a good thing.
"Let's go." Nami pouted; her shopping mood had been ruined by these Marines.
Soon after the two left, an enthusiastic citizen immediately contacted the local Marines.
After layers of reporting.
Inside the Naval Headquarters conference room.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, traces of the Reno Pirates and others have been found in Water Seven, requesting instructions!!" A hurried voice came from the other end of the den den mushi.
"I understand." Sengoku's face was grim as he hung up the den den mushi.
There had been no trace of Reno for so many days, and he had actually gone to Water Seven.
People who can fly are hard to deal with.
"Admiral, I request to immediately go to Water Seven to capture Reno!!" Marine elite Vice Admiral Doberman volunteered.
He was a member of the Marine hawks, and also a loyal supporter of Admiral Sakazuki.
Sengoku glanced at him, then slowly shook his head, "You are not his opponent."
The words were harsh, but they were the truth.
To deal with Reno, at least an Admiral-level Marine was needed.
Kizaru understood Sengoku's hidden meaning and preemptively avoided his gaze, casually looking out the window.
He was screaming internally: Don't call me, don't call me, I'm not listening, not listening, like a turtle chanting sutras.
He was just an Admiral who worked nine to five, relying on his fixed salary to live each month.
To deal with Reno, let Sakazuki go; he was more enthusiastic about these things.
Of course, as an Admiral, he also had his professional integrity; it wasn't impossible to deal with a formidable person like Reno.
But, he needed more money.
With more money, anything was negotiable.
"Sengoku, this old man will go and bring Reno back!!" The dark-faced Garp put down his favorite Want Want Senbei and took on the mission.
Inside the conference room, many generals turned to look.
Although Reno was troublesome, it wasn't to the extent that this person needed to personally intervene, was it?!!
Was this still the Vice Admiral Garp they knew?!
The Vice Admiral Garp in their impression had always been uninterested in such brats.
Sengoku, of course, knew why Garp was doing this; he was planning to use public office for personal revenge.
As Fleet Admiral, he would not abuse his power for personal gain.
Sengoku shook his head, "No need, Aokiji is on a mission near Water Seven. I'll send him."
"Contact Aokiji immediately!!"
The adjutant connected Aokiji's den den mushi.
"Ara la, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the mission is complete, and I'm about to return to report." On the ice, Aokiji leisurely rode his bicycle, wobbling as he tried to find a straight line.
Sengoku's tone was serious, "Aokiji, traces of Reno have been found in Water Seven. Go there immediately and capture him and his Pirate Crew."
Aokiji was stunned. Reno?!!
The guy who killed Crocodile?!!
"Aokiji, this mission is very important. You must not fail, understand?!!" Seemingly knowing Aokiji's lazy nature, Sengoku emphasized his tone again.
"Yes, Admiral." Aokiji had a headache.
Why did all the troublesome missions fall to him?
Are they treating him like an ox or a horse?!!
But there was no other way; he still had to do it!
On the ice, Aokiji took a deep breath, and his gaze became firm.
The next second, he furiously pedaled his bicycle, heading straight for Water Seven.
Give him two more minutes, no, one minute!!
Robin and Kaya walked out of the bookstore hand in hand after buying books.
"You must be Kalifa, right?!" Looking at the blonde woman who was being controlled by a cloud chain and struggling constantly, Robin immediately identified her.
Hmm, long slender legs, a curvaceous figure, and bouncing large D's.
No wonder Reno liked her.
"Let go of me! This, this is sexual harassment!!" Kalifa glared angrily at Reno.
She was very flustered and regretted it now.
Could it be Reno who answered the phone just now?!!
And Lucci… and the den den mushi whose face she had slapped swollen.
Ignoring Kalifa's anger, Reno instantly teleported her directly into the airship high above.
After restraining her, he returned to Water Seven again.
"Reno, our identities have probably been exposed." Kaya scanned her surroundings, noticing more and more people looking at them with unfriendly gazes and whispering, "It's almost time. If you've bought all your things, go to the meeting point first. I still have something to do, and I'll return immediately after I'm done."
"Tashigi, Doll, you two go back first too."
The four women nodded obediently, then left together.
After asking a few passersby, Reno headed directly to Franky House.
His most important reason for coming to Water Seven was, of course, to subdue Kalifa; besides that, it was the Pluton blueprints inside Franky.
Although he was not interested in Pluton, some things had to be in his hands.
Even if they collected dust in the system warehouse.
Franky House.
Franky, as usual, was dancing his self-created perverted dance before starting work.
Halfway through his dance, he suddenly felt a buzzing in his brain, then his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground.
Reno walked over from nearby, glanced at the unconscious Franky, tapped and knocked on his body, and finally found the switch.
Open the switch—take the blueprints—close the switch.
It was a three-step process, as simple as putting an elephant in a refrigerator.
After casually throwing the Pluton blueprints into the system warehouse, Reno instantly teleported away.
17… Meanwhile, on the shore.
Aside from Reno, all the girls on the ship had already returned.
Except for Tashigi and Doll, everyone had large and small bags, filled with daily necessities, clothes, ingredients, ancient books, and various strange and wonderful things.
The women chatted, and the shore was filled with laughter.
Just then, Vivi suddenly sneezed, wrinkling her delicate nose, "Does everyone feel like the air temperature has dropped a bit?!!!"
"I'm a bit cold too." Kaya also shivered from the cold.
It was fine just now, but the temperature dropped too quickly.
"Hmm?!!!" Nami suddenly frowned and looked out at the sea.
In the distance, a vast white mist appeared, followed by a rapidly solidifying ice road that extended all the way to the shore.
"There's someone on the sea!!!" Conis covered her mouth in surprise.
Not only was there someone, but they also saw that man furiously pedaling a bicycle on the sea?!!
This was too wild.
The other girls widened their eyes in disbelief; it was another novel event that they had to write in their diaries tonight.
Robin and Doll's pupils contracted sharply when they saw the man, and a trace of panic flashed across their faces.
"Everyone be careful, he is Admiral Aokiji, and he might be coming for us." Doll warned everyone with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, the women's expressions all changed.
They were no longer naive young girls; they knew what an Admiral meant.
A world-class powerhouse.
"Everyone, be careful!!" Nami and Tashigi stepped forward, blocking the other women.
Aside from Reno, they were the two strongest members of the Pirate Crew.
"Ara la, there are so many beautiful ladies here, how lucky."
Aokiji, who had pedaled desperately to the shore, parked his bicycle and greeted the women warmly.
"Reno Pirates navigator Nami, Kaya, Makino, Nojiko… Huh?!! Who are you?!!!"
Aokiji looked at Conis and the others with suspicion; he didn't recognize them at all.
They must be Reno's newly recruited Pirate Crew members, he thought.
Hmm… So many beauties; it truly revealed Reno's true nature.
"But I'm surprised… Robin, you're here too."
Aokiji's gaze swept over the women one by one, finally settling on Robin. His originally somewhat lazy voice began to grow serious.
The smile on his face slowly faded.
"Robin, can you tell me why you joined the Reno Pirates?!!!"
Robin pressed her lower lip, looking at Aokiji with a complex expression.
He was one of the Vice Admirals who participated in the destruction of Ohara, but he was also her and Saul's savior.
"I…"
"Hahahahaha… I didn't expect even Admiral Aokiji to come. Water Seven is truly lively today." Accompanied by a light laugh, Reno appeared before everyone.
Seeing Reno, the women breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions finally relaxing.
They all knew that with their current strength, facing an Admiral, they had no chance of winning.
