The vast port was suddenly filled with a heavy atmosphere.
All eyes turned in unison, locking onto Kai.
Not just Franky and Cavendish,
Zanbai and Koppu had also always seen that one day, over the years, when their boss would smile, take a glass of wine, shake off their tracking, and disappear alone for twenty-four hours.
Every time he came back, he had a tired look on his face.
At first, they thought that Franky, who had become an iron man, could still develop in that direction.
However, over time, they found that the name of the iron man had not spread in the pleasure quarters at all.
This made them gradually understand what Franky had been doing during the twenty-four hours he was missing.
Now, Kai had thrown out Tom as soon as he opened his mouth.
This undoubtedly stirred their nerves.
"No, Mr. Tom is already dead." Kai replied indifferently.
Watching Franky, whose expression had suddenly become lonely, with a slightly self-deprecating expression, he continued, "If you're willing to agree to the deal, I can still let you meet him, but after so many years, I can't guarantee how successful it will be."
"Meet a dead person?"
Franky was stunned.
No!
It should be said that even Cavendish and the others had faces full of disbelief.
In their eyes, the feeling Kai gave them now was like he was seriously talking nonsense.
Meeting a dead person, wasn't that bullshit?
"Whether you want to meet him or not, that's your own decision. If I really insist on going to Enies Lobby, I believe you can't refuse my request either." Kai glanced at him indifferently.
"The choice is in your own hands."
Franky's expression changed again.
After witnessing Kai's one-punch CP9 with his own eyes, he knew clearly that these words, which were mixed with a hint of threat, were not false at all.
If Kai really wanted to use strong-arm tactics, using Zanbai and the others as hostages to force him to help, Franky had no right to refuse.
"Franky, boss!" Zanbai hesitated to speak.
However, Franky quickly stopped him with a hand, saying, "I agree to the deal with you, but I hope you can keep your promise and not attack my people."
"Don't worry!" Kai replied indifferently, looked at the time, and said, "There are still three hours until noon. Let's go to Mr. Tom's grave first, complete the transaction with you, and then send me to Enies Lobby, so you don't say I'm getting something for nothing."
Regarding the Fish-Man Tom, who had been dead for ten years, Kai couldn't guarantee that he could use the Overlord's Undead Resurrection to completely revive him.
However, as long as the Fish-Man Tom had a strong obsession after death, Kai was still confident that he could forcibly summon his soul from the underworld.
Most importantly, the reward he had obtained when the Escanor character template's realism reached 40%
was actually Escanor's strongest move, Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Supreme.
This was the special magical physique that Escanor had obtained after being favored by the power of the sun in the original Seven Deadly Sins.
His power would become stronger as time passed, the closer it got to noon.
When it reached one minute past noon, Escanor was hailed as the strongest existence among the Seven Deadly Sins.
At that moment, he would be regarded as invincible.
Unfortunately, the Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Supreme that the system had rewarded Kai was clearly missing the one minute past noon.
However, for him now, dealing with the Enies Lobby trip was enough.
"Go to Mr. Tom's grave first?" Franky couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Kai with a face full of surprise.
At first, after hearing Kai reveal his relationship with Mr. Tom as soon as he opened his mouth, his mood had been extremely shocked.
Later, Kai had claimed that he could let him meet Mr. Tom.
At that moment, his mind had completely overheated, and he had subconsciously agreed to the deal with Kai.
Now that he had calmed down, he felt a hint of bitterness in his heart.
Meeting a dead person, that was just bullshit.
However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. According to Kai's final statement, even if he refused,
faced with the huge strength difference of one-punch CP9, even if Kai gave him a blank check and let him go to Enies Lobby first, Franky still couldn't refuse.
However, now that Kai had opened his mouth and claimed that he would first let him meet his long-dead mentor, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have been willing to believe it.
Did he really have a way?
Franky couldn't help but look at Kai a few more times.
Watching this man with a body full of muscles and tendons, giving people a feeling of arrogance, the hope in his heart was ignited again.
On the other hand!
Water 7, in Iceburg's office.
Kalifa, wearing glasses and black stockings, looked down at the documents in her hand.
During this time of lying low and infiltrating Iceburg's side, she would check any documents that came and went from the office every day.
Although the chance of finding clues about Pluton's design drawings was almost non-existent,
in order to end this undercover life, Kalifa still wouldn't give up this tedious, day-after-day act.
"Who is it?"
Kalifa raised her head suddenly.
She had chosen this time to sneak into Iceburg's office to investigate Pluton's whereabouts.
It was precisely because she knew that Iceburg would leave the office and go to a place at a specific time every day.
According to Iceburg's long-standing habits, he should have another half an hour before he returned to the office.
Right now, the sudden sound of footsteps made Kalifa's gaze sharpen at once.
They, CP9, had spent so much effort and infiltrated here in order to obtain Pluton's manufacturing blueprints.
She didn't want to fail at this critical moment.
"Kalifa, quickly contact Lucci. Our infiltration mission has failed." Kaku, supporting Blueno, who was staggering, came in through the window directly.
Watching the disheveled two, Kalifa's pupils contracted slightly.
In CP9, Kalifa's strength was at the bottom.
However, she knew clearly that besides Rob Lucci, who was hailed as the strongest human weapon in Enies Lobby for 800 years, Mountain Wind Kaku was definitely one of the best existences in CP9.
Paired with Blueno, who had the Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit, in Water 7, this sea area located in the first half of the Grand Line, they were not their opponents at all, let alone seriously injuring them.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Kalifa would never have been willing to believe it.
However, what Kalifa was most concerned about right now was the mission of spending many years infiltrating and searching for clues about Pluton.
"Kaku, you said the mission was leaked?"
"Who attacked you? That's a provocation to the World Government!"
As the strongest intelligence organization in the World Government, second only to CP0, Kalifa knew clearly that they represented the face of the World Government.
