Hera quickly said, "Stop complaining. Later, later I will definitely find you some powerful opponents. Also, remember to leave him alive."
Kuina nodded after hearing Hera's words, put away wado ichimonji, and took out the small knife from the cross.
Ever since Hawkeye hit her with a small knife, Kuina also picked up this habit. She would take out this item to fight opponents with too great a disparity.
Kaku, hidden behind his mask, did not underestimate Kuina just because she was holding a small knife. On the contrary, seeing the small knife in Kuina's hand coated with Armament Haki, his expression became even more solemn.
Spandam saw Kaku being suppressed by Kuina and quickly commanded the others, "Hurry up! This plan must not fail!"
Spandam, having lost the gold den den mushi, was completely insane. He no longer cared about promotions; only by suppressing this matter could he still hope not to be demoted.
Lucci immediately transformed into his beast-man form. The super perception brought by his Zoan, Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard Form made him realize that the person in front of them was definitely not someone they could contend with.
But the order from his superior still made him charge forward. Kalifa, the only female among the four, wielded a thorny whip, cooperating with Lucci to attack Hera.
Reiju blocked Kalifa's whip, and the pet Slime standing on her shoulder sprayed a mouthful of venom at Kalifa. The thorny whip instantly withered and shattered into pieces.
Hera looked at Lucci rushing towards her and raised an eyebrow, "Oh, little kitty has learned to hiss."
She didn't even need to move. The weakening effect of the City of Devouring Time combined with the entanglement of the black shadows made his speed slower and slower. By the time he reached Hera, he was already firmly pressed down by the black shadows wrapped around him.
Hera squatted down and stroked Lucci's ear, "Little kitty, that's better, be obedient."
Then, Hera's Observation Haki swept across the entire plaza, finding that the remaining two members of CP9 were not here and should still be on duty at Enies Lobby. Seeing that the situation was under control, Hera said, "Alright, everyone, stop playing."
Ain, who was throwing the cannonballs shot by the franky shogun into the air like fireworks, heard Hera's words and flew forward, ready to control the people on the ship.
However, Perona was one step ahead of her. Her spirit body flew out, and Negative Ghosts passed through the sailors on the ship, controlling them.
Ain, Reiju, and Nami also stopped playing, quickly dealing with their respective opponents.
Spandam looked at his subordinates having no room to fight back against Hera, staring at Hera in shock.
Lucci, pressed to the ground by the black shadows, was still struggling, trying to lift his head, "Damn it, is the strength of a Marineford Vice Admiral really this exaggerated? I don't even have room to resist."
Hera held the gold den den mushi in her hand and slowly walked towards Spandam. Spandam watched Hera slowly approaching him, frantically took a few steps back, and stammered:
"Don't come over, what do you want to do? I am a member of the World Government."
Hera looked at the flustered Spandam, finding it amusing, "What's wrong? Do I look scary?"
Spandam subconsciously nodded, then quickly shook his head after realizing, "No, not scary."
Hera was too lazy to say more nonsense and directly said, "Alright, I'll make a deal with you. If you agree, I'll give you back the gold den den mushi."
Hera ignored Spandam's reaction and continued, "Uncle Tom will be taken away by me. I guarantee he won't take the blueprint you want. You can continue playing your undercover game. How about it?"
Spandam was suppressed by Hera's aura. The fear of Hera's strength made him nod involuntarily.
When Hera saw him yield, she pulled Uncle Tom over. Uncle Tom saw the controlled franky shogun and the unfamiliar faces on it, and he understood Spandam's trick.
Hera said to Uncle Tom, "What do you say? Can you accept leaving Water Seven and working for me?"
Uncle Tom smiled and said, "I heard your conversation. You saved me, right? A true man should know how to repay kindness."
Hera said to Tom, "Alright, you didn't take the blueprint for that thing, did you?"
Tom nodded, "The blueprint isn't on me. A true man never lies."
Hera looked at Spandam, "This should be fine, right? I'm taking Tom away."
Hera placed the gold den den mushi on the ground and said, "I'll leave this thing to you, but if I find out you dare to misuse it..."
Haoshoku manifested from Hera, and the king's aura directly scared Spandam, who was already on the ground, into wetting himself.
Hera looked at Spandam's gradually wet lower half, gave him a disdainful glance, and said, "Truly, trash is trash."
Then, Saikū cut through space, and Hera left with Tom and the people from the argo. At this moment, the City of Devouring Time released its suppression on Lucci and Blueno.
Blueno quickly stood up and, with Lucci, each carrying an unconscious companion, opened a door in the air and left with the others, whose figures were hidden.
Hera and her group teleported directly to the port of Water Seven. After calling Marianne, the argo appeared from Hera's City of Devouring Time, and they immediately boarded and departed.
On the ship, Hera looked at Tom, whom she had brought, and said, "What do you think of my argo? Are there any areas that need improvement?"
Tom's eyes were immediately drawn to the argo. He touched the ship's deck and said in disbelief, "This feeling... could this ship be made of pure gold?"
Hera nodded and said proudly, "That's right, for ultimate conductivity, the entire argo is basically made of a gold alloy. It's Vegapunk's masterpiece."
Tom continued to explore the ship, exclaiming as he did, "This is truly a great ship! It's on par with Roger's 'Oro Jackson'!"
Despite his words, Tom slightly adjusted the ship's sails and figurehead, making the hull even more streamlined. At this point, Tom asked:
"Why are you taking me, a true man, so conspicuously? Let me say first, I will not build Pluton."
Hera said, "I'm not interested in Pluton. If I wanted to, I could also quickly destroy an island. I'm very interested in the sea train."
"This is a cross-era invention that can connect islands. I want you to go to the Four Seas and be responsible for building sea trains under the planning of the New Navy."
