[Elf Angel: Blazing Evil Ghost Note]
[The fifth manifesting angel! Its true form is a massive axe with a blade, possessing immense power, capable of inflicting both physical and flame damage on enemies. Unlike the clumsy appearance of an ordinary axe, it can also release flames to attack swiftly. Objects struck by its blade will be burned to ashes.]
[Can transform into Blazing Evil Ghost: Cannon Form, a long-range attack form. Possesses incredibly strong destructive power and piercing power.]
[After recognizing its master, the wielder will possess regenerative abilities akin to an immortal phoenix. Even if they suffer heavy injuries, they can recover as good as new. Flames will appear on the wound to heal it.]
This must be fake!!!
Upon seeing the explanation for the Blazing Evil Ghost, everyone present uncontrollably let out a collective groan of disbelief.
This is a powerful flame battle axe, capable of both physical and flame damage... This is understandable!
Transforms into cannon form, possesses incredibly strong destructive power and piercing power... This is also acceptable!
But... this thing actually has regenerative abilities like an immortal phoenix! And its self-healing method is also like the phoenix, erupting flames and then healing wounds...
The more crucial thing is!!! This thing is immune to the sea curse!! Compared to that, Marco's immortal bird fruit ability is practically...!!!
Borsalino: "Ahhh... Why didn't they give this reward to me~~"
Kuzan: "What? You still want to carry a big axe?"
Borsalino: "With such a good ability, why would I still be fighting for a big axe?"
Eustass Kid: "This reward is too strong!"
Bartholomew Kuma: "The Supernovas' rankings are going to change, huh?"
Urouge: "Those of us who didn't get rewarded are directly at the bottom~~"
Marco: "Ah, this... This reward is too much...!"
Vista: "Hahaha!! Marco, this is an advanced version of your Devil Fruit, right!"
Edward Newgate: "Gurararara...! Come, Jewelry Bonney, be my daughter!"
Jewelry Bonney: "You pervert..."
Gol D. Roger: "Hmph...! Hahaha! The little girl marries well! Makes this old man want to be a father all day long!"
At this moment... As soon as the rewards were distributed, the frozen image in the red-framed video began to play again~
[Facing Spandam's furious roar, Lucci calmly said, "We encountered pirates from the Straw Hat Pirates. We originally planned to secretly capture her, but it turns out she has joined a group of pirates from the Straw Hat Pirates! Those guys are very strong; even I am not their match...!"]
As he spoke, Lucci felt a surge of rage in his heart.
[And Luffy, on his side, grinned happily~]
[Because the script had clearly started to develop in the direction he wanted...]
[The rest of the script had already been recorded~]
[He took another Den Den Mushi from Usopp's hand and played it.]
[Spandam's voice appeared: "What!!! You're talking about the Straw Hat Pirates!!?"]
"Is that so? Is there a problem?" Lucci asked coldly.
[Spandam's voice: "This pirate killed Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords! Now the World Government has already set their sights on them! In the above analysis, this pirate group is very likely to become a very troublesome force in the New World in the future! You guys listen, since you've already encountered them, try to find a way to infiltrate them! Such a pirate group cannot be left alone!!"]
["Infiltrate?"]
[Hearing this, Lucci's face indeed looked a bit grim.]
[If he hadn't encountered the Straw Hat Pirates before, he would have definitely agreed to this mission without hesitation.]
[But now...]
[He thought about it and said, "Actually, we were captured by them before, and they wanted to force us to tell them the Rokushiki training methods. Now, we're using this very good opportunity to escape by relying on Blueno's Door-Door Fruit ability. Under the current circumstances, it's not impossible for me to infiltrate them, but if we want to gain their trust, our Rokushiki training methods will definitely not be kept a secret!"]
["Are you a pig??? The Rokushiki training methods can be given to them!! And that thing is something that can only be learned by those with ability, right? Besides, there are many Marines who know Rokushiki. Even if you don't tell them, won't they just go and hunt other Marines?"
["They're really a bunch of pig brains! Listen up, I'm now officially ordering you to infiltrate the Straw Hat Pirates! You must infiltrate at all costs! If the infiltration is successful, do not make any moves that would arouse their suspicion. Just stay obediently on the ship!"]
["You only need to monitor his every move; you don't need to report. When this force becomes famous in the New World, I will then issue a notice in the newspaper in the name of my CP9 Chief, secretly contacting you!"]
["Other situations, everything else, just follow my orders and don't make any moves!" Spandam's voice was almost a scream~]
["Yes, understood!"]
[Because the previous mission had just been messed up, Lucci was also feeling guilty, and this was, after all, the Chief's order, so he couldn't disobey.]
[At this moment, Spandam's voice rang out again. "Oh, right! That guy who sat on the sea train to Enies Lobby that day, his Devil Fruit ability will be of great use for your next mission! Lucci, Kaku, and Kalifa, you three will secretly infiltrate the Straw Hat Pirates!"]
["Yes!"]
[Spandam's voice again: "Alright, from now on, the mission officially begins! After this phone call, before I see a report published in the newspaper, do not contact me in any way. Consider yourselves pirates, complete pirates from head to toe!!"]
[Having said that, the voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi hung up~]
[In the bar's warehouse...]
[The four CP9 members looked at each other~]
"What do we do now...?" Kalifa was the first to break the silence.
Lucci calmly said, "Do as the Chief said!"
Hearing this, Kalifa shook her head: "No... what I mean is, how do we infiltrate the Straw Hat Pirates?"
Lucci thought for a moment, then suddenly grimaced: "It's not easy~ but we have to try!!"
[Subsequently, he looked at Blueno: "You go to the train station first! We'll need to make up some stories later. If the Straw Hat Pirates see us with you, it will be hard to explain." ]
[Hearing this, Blueno nodded: "Alright! Then take care!"]
["Take care!!" The other three team members nodded.]
[After dispersing, Blueno went to the train station~]
[From Water 7, there's a sea train departing to Enies Lobby every day, but because Enies Lobby is a special place, only personnel working there take this train.]
[Blueno got on the train, his eyes suspiciously scanning an empty train carriage.]
[At this moment, a person suddenly appeared at the door of this carriage!]
[The moment Blueno looked up, his eyes widened suddenly: "What!? It's you!!—"]
[Just as he finished speaking, a large hand instantly grabbed him, and then he lost consciousness...]
[When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the basement of the municipal building~]
["Where is this?"]
[Blueno looked around, observing the strange surroundings.]
[Suddenly, he looked down at his hand and exclaimed in surprise: "This is a Seastone handcuff??"]
["That's right! I didn't expect the black market to even sell this kind of thing, so I bought some on the side. I just found out this thing is much easier to use than a sea barrel~~"]
[Luffy holding a Seastone handcuff, said with a laugh.]
"What!!"
[Seeing Luffy holding a Seastone handcuff, Blueno was instantly dumbfounded!!]
He yelled loudly, "No...! Aren't you a Devil Fruit user? How can you hold Seastone like this?"
"This?"
Luffy looked at the Seastone handcuff in his hand and said faintly, "This thing can indeed counteract the power of Devil Fruits and can make a Devil Fruit user feel weak, but it won't make a person completely lose their mobility."
"But the problem is..." Even if it's like what you said, it's still very difficult for a Devil Fruit user to touch Seastone!
[Seeing Luffy holding the Seastone handcuff and chuckling, Blueno simply couldn't understand~]
Is this person stupid...?
Luffy shrugged, laughing: "Oh, I'm adapting to this feeling, it's quite interesting~"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Huh?? Is he actually using the side effects of Seastone? Is that even possible?"
Kaidou: "Seastone's counteracting effect on Devil Fruit users can indeed be endured... If you can endure the weakness and discomfort brought by Seastone, you can indeed weaken Seastone's counteracting effect through long-term training!!"
Jinbe: "Is that really true? No wonder those Devil Fruit users were motionless like dogs when they first entered Impel Down, but after a long time, they could walk properly even with Seastone handcuffs on~~"
Magellan: "That's just the body developing resistance to Seastone, but the Devil Fruit's sealing effect won't be loosened at all. However, that's a passive effect, and the result is very general. At most, you can just walk. What Luffy is doing in the video, this kind of active training, is different."
Kaidou: "Yes! Active training will make you stronger!"
In this regard, Kaidou has the right to speak~
"Adaptation??" Blueno was simply dumbfounded!!!
[He is also a Devil Fruit user. CP9 also has Seastone handcuffs, so he naturally knows what it feels like for a Devil Fruit user to wear Seastone handcuffs~]
[It's just that his current weak state is a suffering!]
"Ah! What is this place!?"
[At this moment, two skinny figures from Impel Down woke up.]
Blueno turned his head to look, his face instantly bewildered: "Hannyabal? Why are you, a CP9 member, here...?"
Hannyabal said with a bitter face: "I came to Water 7 today to do business, and I ran into them on my way back. Seeing them take you, I was also captured along with you..."
"Not bad~ Since you two know each other, then just be partners here!" Luffy chuckled.
[Subsequently, he said to Usopp beside him: "Explain it to them; we can't let anything unexpected happen!"]
[Usopp patted his chest: "Okay! Leave it to me!"]
[Luffy left the room. Ace and Franky were outside talking. Seeing Luffy come out, they greeted him.]
[Ace said: "This is the prison underneath the municipal building, a place where criminals used to be locked up. Now, there's only one old, blind man watching over it. Don't worry, they're locked in here; nothing will happen to them."]
[Luffy nodded: "Good! That'll do! To prevent any mishaps, I'll take all the keys for the Seastone handcuffs and the iron chain shackles on them. This should completely ensure there are no problems!"]
[At this moment, Usopp inside shouted: "Luffy, come take a look, is this okay or not?"]
[The three heard the shout and went in together.]
...
[Only to see that the Seastone handcuffs and Seastone leg shackles were all in place. Additionally, there were refined steel iron chains shackling them to the wall, foolproof~]
"Hey hey hey! I'm not even a Devil Fruit user, so why do you have to put these heavy Seastone handcuffs and leg shackles on me?!" Hannyabal said bitterly.
[Luffy pouted: "Less nonsense! Since they're already on, I'm not taking them off~~"]
"Wait!!! There's one thing I don't understand!!!"
[Seeing Luffy and the others about to leave, Blueno suddenly shouted.]
"What is it? For the sake of your three companions who are about to become the Straw Hat Pirates' cleaners, I can answer your three questions. If there's anything you don't understand, ask quickly!" Luffy stopped and looked back at Blueno~]
"Cleaner??? What do you mean??"
[Blueno suddenly recalled the order from CP9's Chief. He instantly understood something and said in shock: "What!!? You mean that order from the Chief was forced by you...???"]
[Luffy shrugged: "Pretty much! Anyway, it's what I want~~"]
[Hearing this, and then recalling his current predicament, Blueno didn't doubt Luffy's words at all~~]
"Damn Spandam! What a softie!!"
[Having roughly guessed the process, Blueno said angrily.]
[He then looked at Luffy: "What do you mean my companions will become cleaners on your ship?? They won't be in danger, will they??"]
"This is your second question. I originally wanted to learn the Rokushiki training methods from your Chief, but then I suddenly remembered that the new ship we bought is super big, and it definitely needs people to sweep and clean. So I gave you the order to infiltrate. After all... you execute orders from your superiors with unwavering determination. If such hard-working laborers aren't put to good use, wouldn't that be a terrible waste~?"
[Hearing Luffy say this, an expression beyond comprehension instantly burst onto Blueno's face!!!?]
[Using CP9 as cleaners?]
[Is my ear having illusions?]
[Why would anyone in this world have such a bizarre idea...??]
[And he actually went and did it!!]
[Blueno felt that it wasn't him who was crazy; it was this world~~~]
[After calming down, Blueno asked again: "Then why only them three, and not me?"]
[Luffy's lips curled slightly: "This question isn't hard to guess, is it? You're a Door-Door Fruit user. If you happened to slip away when I wasn't paying attention, I really wouldn't have any way! The three of them are different... two are non-Devil Fruit users, and one is a feline Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. Their ability backgrounds are very clear, so there's no escape."]
"Alright! You and this newcomer can play here! After we circle the Grand Line once, we won't need cleaners anymore, and then we'll probably let you go~~"]
[Having said that, Luffy led the others out of the cell~~]
[In the enormous cell, only Blueno and Hannyabal were left, looking at each other...]
