[Iceberg: "Rorqual D. Roget: 'Using Treasure Tree Adam to create alloys...' Oh my goodness, if this succeeds, how incredibly sturdy will that ship be?!"]
[Shiki: "Back then, even ordinary cannon shells had no effect on my ship. Now they're going to create this Treasure Tree Adam alloy, and then have it built by the two best shipwrights in the world. Won't it be invincible???"]
[Vegapunk: "It's a pity I don't have any Treasure Tree Adam material in my hands, otherwise I'd also like to try and see what kind of experience it is to synthesize an alloy with Treasure Tree Adam~~~"]
[Walpole: "Synthesize with the Munch-Munch Fruit? That's not a bad idea! I'll try it later...!"]
[Marshall D. Teach: "That's great! I don't have an official pirate ship right now. If you can make an alloy better than steel, sell it to me! We can discuss the price!"]
[Walpole: "Scram! Do you take me for a fool?"]
[Although Walpole didn't know why Blackbeard was staring at him, he knew that getting entangled with Blackbeard would not end well!!]
[After this period of time, the Straw Hat Pirates temporarily settled down in Water 7~~~]
[The purchase of Treasure Tree Adam went very smoothly. In total, they spent 500 million Berries to buy both pieces of Treasure Tree Adam wood.]
[Franky took a small percentage from one of them and began his "Alchemist's Journey"......]
[Luffy watched everyone put their heads together, looking at Franky's furious "Serious Mode" in a heavy mood.]
[For example, Brook stored everyone's farts, and then released them on Franky's nose while he was sleeping...]
[Or Buggy split and controlled 100 feathers to tickle him~~~]
[And there was even a specialized spherical bamboo cage made. Franky was thrown into it, and Nami activated her "Rolling Orange" ability, making Franky spin non-stop inside like a hamster running on a ball~~~]
[In short, they used all sorts of methods, not at all what you'd expect of people... they used many of them~~~]
[However, CP9 truly lived up to its reputation as special agents trained since childhood, using Navy-style training methods. They didn't say a single word~~~]
[In the ship factory of Galley-La Company, the new ship has already begun construction~~~]
[The material is a super alloy formed by fusing Treasure Tree Adam, black iron ore, diamond ore, and rubber, among 11 other materials!!!]
[This new super alloy not only reached a hardness comparable to diamonds, but also possessed excellent perfect density, and even had rubber-like toughness and so on...]
["Are you saying that these CP9 members will only obey their superior's orders unswervingly?"]
[Luffy looked at Iceberg. Just when they were chatting, Luffy suddenly heard a significant meaning in his words.]
[Iceberg shrugged: "Yes! They are like the best foreman who has achieved everything quietly by my side. How do you think they spent these five years?"]
["How did they spend it?" Luffy asked suspiciously.]
["They truly integrated themselves into the identity of shipwrights. Kalifa and Blueno truly integrated themselves into the identity of secret agents and bar owners..."]
["Leaving Kalifa's undercover work aside, she truly did an excellent job at secret arts by my side for these five years! And Blueno is a famous 'good guy boss' in Water 7. Just imagine how terrifying these people are~~~"]
["As long as a mission is assigned, they will execute it unswervingly, even if it's in an unfamiliar field. They can use their full capabilities."]
[Iceberg said seriously.]
["Is that so..."]
[Hearing this, Luffy rubbed his chin~~~]
[He seemed to suddenly find a way to make those several CP9 members obedient...]
[Therefore, Luffy stared intently: "Then... whose subordinates are they?!"]
["Chief!!!"]
[The moment he heard 'CP9's Chief,' Iceberg's face instantly changed!!!]
[That was hatred from the depths of his soul!!!]
[Then, he recounted the past events from over twenty years ago to Luffy~~~]
[How Tom, the world's number one shipwright, managed to get a special pardon by building a sea train, and then Spandam obtaining the Pluton blueprint, framing Franky and Tom, and Spandam even stomping on Tom's head. Franky and Tom were brutally tortured. Spandam detailed everything...]
[After hearing this, Luffy was greatly shocked!!!]
[He never thought that Tom was sentenced to death just for building a ship for Roger...]
["This charge is too ridiculous! When Tom built the ship for Roger, Roger wasn't even the Pirate King yet!! And then, after Roger was executed, Tom was charged with this 'crime'???"]
[Luffy's expression was one of bewilderment, and he burst into laughter: "This is simply the most absurd crime in the entire world!"]
[Sengoku: "What?! Tom was sentenced to death for building a ship for me? What a ridiculous charge!"]
[Upon seeing this scene, Roger was simply furious!!!]
[He never thought that because he asked Tom to build a ship, he indirectly caused Tom's death...]
[Sengoku: "This must be a scheme of the World Government... Eight tenths of it is because of this thing of theirs! Otherwise, why would they be able to delay his execution for so long, and even deduct so much lifespan?"]
[Sengoku: "Get out of here! That's a crime conveyed by CP5 at the time! What does it have to do with me...!!!"]
[Upon hearing this, Garp almost spat out blood, and Sengoku immediately couldn't sit still~~~]
[Garp: "I know! It turns out those five old immortals are the ones doing it~ Hahahahahahaha!!!"]
[Sengoku: "Damn it, you beast!"]
[Normally, with Sengoku's intelligence, he definitely wouldn't fall for such a low-level trick...]
[But because Garp's words were sudden, and they also hit Sengoku's sore spot about his age, Sengoku was instantly provoked, and Garp was trapped in his words~~~]
[Ivankov: "Did building his ship and giving him the reputation of a notorious pirate mean he shouldn't die?"]
[Rorqual D. Roget: "Bullshit! If a Marine Admiral were to betray the Navy, would the person who paid that Admiral's wages not also deserve to die??? And would the manufacturer of the battleship that this Admiral rode also deserve to die...?"]
[Sengoku: "Roger! Stop talking nonsense!"]
[...is the Marine Admiral a brainless idiot? If a Marine Admiral were to betray, I'd write Sengoku's name upside down!]
[Garp: "Don't talk about those useless things! You just say Roger's question is wrong, right?!"]
[Tsuru: "How can pirates and the Navy be lumped together???"]
[Edward Weevil: "Gurgle gurgle gurgle... Should they be treated differently? Anyway, that charge is decided by the World Government. What they say goes, right? It's really random!!"]
[Donquixote Doflamingo: "Fufufu...!!! That's it!"]
[Seeing that the old guys were specially reminding him, Doflamingo also stopped talking~~~]
[After all, he is now on the verge of breaking through the world barrier (storyline), but he has not yet reached an invincible level...]
[Since the Five Elders had already spoken, he'd give them face~~~]
[Iceberg opened his mouth: "Yes! That charge is indeed ridiculous, but the World Government needed our master to build the Sea Train, so they delayed his other execution, giving him time to build the Sea Train. Who knew that he would still be killed by the World Government's despicable methods!"]
["That Spandam truly deserves to die!"]
[The more Luffy thought about it, the angrier he got~~~]
[If it were just a passerby, that would be one thing, but now he has taken Franky as a companion, so this matter is no longer an outsider's concern...]
[What's more, he indeed needed to find the CP9 Chief to "chat" with...]
[Iceberg continued: "After that incident, the World Government was very satisfied with Spandam's work style and soon promoted him to CP9 Chief! With this trump card in hand, the World Government became even more adept at doing dirty deeds!!!"]
[After understanding this past event]
[Luffy then went to find Franky and told him some things.]
[Then, Luffy returned to the Merry.]
[Late at night, the three took the Sea Train to Enies Lobby and successfully arrived at Enies Lobby.]
[After the Enies Lobby personnel on the train disembarked, three figures stealthily slipped down~~~]
["Luffy, are you really not going to tell the other companions about this?"]
[Usopp hugged his small bag, nervously perceiving his surroundings with Observation Haki~~~]
["Yes, it's limited to the three of us knowing. Otherwise, if anyone blabs, it'll be troublesome. Especially Sanji, once he knows, the secret will be out immediately!"]
[Luffy nodded, then waved his hand, "No one here..."]
[Under the cover of night, the three quickly traversed the main island of Enies Lobby~~~]
[There were many guards on the main island, but it was rest time, plus Luffy's super strong Observation Haki, which allowed them to easily reach the Courthouse~~~]
[There were very few guards at the Courthouse. The three almost swaggered in...]
[When they arrived at the CP9 office, the Judicial Tower, this suspension bridge had already been destroyed.]
[Between the Courthouse and the Judicial Tower was a deep, bottomless ocean abyss~~~]
["Hold tight!"]
[Luffy swung his fist, then his legs elongated with a 'whoosh,' transforming into a nearly hundred-meter tall great bamboo pole....]
[Then he took a step forward, easily striding onto the ground of the Judicial Tower~~~]
[However, the architectural structure inside the Judicial Tower was truly surprising to the three. It was strangely complex and intertwined, like a maze~~~]
[And Luffy discovered something: when the partition layers of the surrounding walls reached a certain number, it would greatly affect the perception of Observation Haki!]
[Upon closer inspection, it seems this is indeed the case!!!]
[The principle of Observation Haki is to make one's five senses more acute, allowing one to perceive the aura and emotional changes of surrounding beings!]
[When separated by so many layers of walls, the aura and emotional changes of beings would be weakened layer by layer, naturally affecting Observation Haki...]
[In Spandam's office...]
["This is truly good! These two Devil Fruits can serve as a reward for those fellows completing the mission~~~ When the time comes...]
["They will definitely be grateful, and even more willing to die for me, hahaha...!!!"]
[Spandam grabbed a Devil Fruit with one hand, saying smugly.]
[Swoosh~]
[The door was pushed open~]
[Spandam instinctively looked up~]
[Huh?]
[Who are these three people?]
[Wham!!!]
[Before he could react, Luffy's Conqueror's Haki directly knocked him unconscious~~~]
["~Quick, drag him away!"]
[Luffy waved his hand forward. Usopp and Franky rushed over.]
["Oh? There are two Devil Fruits here!"]
[Usopp wasn't polite either; he directly grabbed them and stuffed them into his small bag~~~]
[Afterward, the three took Spandam to where the sea train was docked. From the storage room of the last carriage, they took out the previously prepared sea speedboat...]
[After getting on, they sped straight towards Water 7~~~]
[Upon returning to Water 7, Franky brought Spandam back to a secret cave only Franky knew about~~~]
[Splash~]
[A basin of water was splashed on him, and Spandam was awakened!!!]
[He rubbed his eyes, groaning, and suddenly found that he wasn't in his office anymore. In front of him was a strange and dirty place, and three strangers were looking at him coldly...]
[He was instantly furious: "Bastards!! Do you know who I am? I am..."]
[Bang!!!]
[A crisp sound!]
["Alright, if we didn't know who you were, we wouldn't have tied you up~~~"]
[Franky slapped Spandam, causing the words he still wanted to say to be swallowed back into his stomach...]
["First, let me introduce myself. I am Franky... Oh no, my previous name was Cutty Flam."]
[Remembering that Spandam didn't know the name Franky at all, Franky immediately gave his previous name~~~]
["Cutty Flam...?"]
[First, he was stunned, but then he suddenly remembered who this name belonged to~~~]
["What!!!! You are Cutty Flam...!!!!"]
[Although more than twenty years had passed,]
[...but even if he forgot his own gender, Spandam would never forget this name!!!]
[It was this very fellow who, over twenty years ago, delivered a brutal blow that caused his face to be severely disfigured, so much so that he had no choice but to wear a paper mask on his face...]
["Damn it!! You're actually not dead...?? Damn it, I knew you weren't dead!!! Despicable!!! I've been looking for you all these years!!!!"] Seeing Franky still alive, Spandam instantly roared with rage~~~]
["Coincidentally, I've also been waiting for this day for so many years!!!"]
[The moment Franky thought of how Spandam's framing led to Tom's tragic death, fury surged from his heart!!!]
[He immediately went up and gave Spandam several severe blows, making his eyes blur and smoke rise from his seven orifices...]
[Luffy gestured for Franky to wait a moment, there was something important to say.]
[Spandam took several harsh blows, and sure enough, he quieted down...]
[Luffy looked at Usopp: "Get the stuff. It's time to get to work!!!"]
["Alright!"]
[Usopp took down the small bag he was carrying on his back and placed it on the table. Then he reached in~~~]
[Spandam saw this posture. They're going to use it...!!!]
[He was so scared he shouted in panic: "Hey!! I'm a CP9 Chief, you can't kill me!! I... I... I'll tell you... you're committing a crime... this is opposing the World Government...!!!"]
[Ding!]
[Entering the prize-winning Q&A segment!]
Just then, a question appeared on the large screen.
[Question: What kind of Dial did Monkey D. Luffy have Usopp take out???]
[A: Heat Dial...]
[B: Wind Dial...]
[C: Taste Dial...]
[D: Impact Dial...]
[E: Tone Dial... twisted]
