In the separate room, Kaku, Lucci, and Kalifa had already met up with the three people from Enies Lobby.
To increase the mission's success rate, Spandam had even had Jabra bring two Devil Fruits.
One was the "Ox-Ox Fruit: Giraffe Model," and the other was the "Bubble-Bubble Fruit."
Kaku and Kalifa were frowning, as they had just eaten the fruits that tasted terrible, when Blueno quietly signaled them.
Rob Lucci looked out through the observation window of the compartment and could see Naruto drinking at the bar counter.
"The target has appeared."
His words caused expressions of confusion and wariness to appear on his companions' faces.
"How could he appear here?"
"Did he discover us?"
Faced with these questions, Rob Lucci just shook his head with a cold expression.
"None of that matters. Since the target has appeared, let's prepare to attack together."
"It's just one person..."
Hearing this, Jabra wanted to say something.
He had always prided himself on being cunning, but actually the other CP9 members all knew this guy was just an arrogant hothead who loved to fight.
If ranked by their "Doriki" power levels, Jabra would have to rank behind Kaku.
Yet he looked down on not just Kaku, but even Rob Lucci, who vaguely held a "leadership" position.
"Haven't you read the intelligence on the target?"
Lucci directly turned to look at him.
"Naruto Uzumaki, a crew member of the Pirate King. Do you think he's just an ordinary criminal?"
If Naruto's reputation wasn't that big, then another Pirate King apprentice from his era was thunderously famous.
"Red-Haired" Shanks.
One of the Four Emperors. Although part of why the World Government placed such importance on him was due to his bloodline, Shanks' own strength was sufficient to be called one of the top-tier powerhouses on the seas.
Of course, that's what he said, but even Rob Lucci himself felt somewhat unconvinced.
Wasn't he just an apprentice on the Pirate King's ship for a while? In the end, he was still just a criminal.
Since they had encountered him, even a Pirate King's apprentice was worth capturing.
As time passed, the customers in the bar gradually left.
When the last customer besides Naruto departed, Blueno knew they had definitely been exposed.
However, he maintained the professional standards of a CP9 agent, saying nothing and just silently walking to the door to lock it.
"The wine tastes decent. It would be even better if it didn't have those strange additives."
Naruto at the bar counter suddenly spoke, then gently set down his glass.
The anesthetic drugs mixed into the alcohol really affected the taste.
After just a few sips, Naruto didn't want to continue drinking.
"It seems it won't be possible to deal with you so simply."
After Blueno said this, he directly extended his hand toward the wall.
A door naturally appeared on the wall, and the other CP9 members who had been prepared behind it attacked simultaneously the moment it opened.
Although they still lacked firsthand experience of Naruto's strength, since headquarters demanded they capture him with full effort, they couldn't afford to attack one by one as usual.
"Finger Pistol!"
"Tempest Kick: White Thunder!"
Kaku and Lucci had already transformed into beast-human forms, their sharp claws and giraffe hooves cutting through the air as they attacked Naruto.
Naruto simply shifted his body slightly to easily avoid this straightforward attack.
But this was actually just CP9's feint.
"Yoyo... Life Return, Hair Bind Technique."
Kumadori's hair rapidly extended, silently crawling along the ground to Naruto's side before firmly binding his feet.
"Now!"
Jabra, who had appeared from the shadows using Silent Step, had a fierce expression as his wolf-transformed claws gleamed coldly.
"Iron Body Fist Law: Wolf Fang!"
The claws attacked Naruto. With his feet bound, Naruto just stood there quietly, being torn to pieces by the incoming claws.
This easy?
Wait, weren't we supposed to capture this guy alive?
Before the others could react, the shredded "Naruto" emitted smoke and transformed into a stool.
Substitution Jutsu, naturally.
"Rokushiki, so you're Navy people? Or agents under the World Government?"
The group's gazes quickly followed the voice to see Naruto, who had somehow been sitting aside watching the show.
When did he...?
Lucci's pupils contracted. He hadn't even been able to see the opponent's movements.
Feeling like he'd been made a fool of by some trick, Jabra's face showed embarrassed anger as he roared loudly.
"Bastard!"
Shave!
His figure rapidly charged toward Naruto while his hands began forming special poses.
Iron Body Fist Law: Moonlight Cross Wolf.
This move was somewhat similar to Lucci's Six King Gun; both were extensions combining Iron Body and Finger Pistol techniques.
Seeing no one answer him, Naruto just nodded lightly.
"Ah, Rokushiki? Speaking of which, I know it too."
Moonwalk from the Six Powers was quite a useful skill, and Life Return, learned alongside mastering the Six Powers, was even more helpful to Naruto.
After saying this, Naruto casually kicked out.
In an instant, under the others' incredulous gazes, an impact like a slash rapidly shot forward, striking Jabra in mid-air.
This guy was almost instantly knocked unconscious, his body flying backward uncontrollably.
Fukurou tried to catch him but was knocked flying along with Jabra.
This guy with only a few hundred Doriki fell unconscious just from being hit like this.
In the blink of an eye, two companions were down, making the remaining ones all feel like they were facing a great enemy.
Unfortunately, their attitude didn't affect Naruto's attack speed.
"So you're World Government people?"
That made sense. If they were Navy, they probably wouldn't be sneakily undercover at a shipyard.
Speaking of which, should he mention this to that Mr. Iceberg?
This could be considered helping him remove several thorns.
Although he didn't know why this group was undercover, it probably wasn't for anything good.
While thinking randomly like this, Naruto's figure instantly disappeared from his position.
Then appeared ghost-like beside an enemy.
Kalifa was the first to be hit.
She had wanted to use her newly acquired Bubble-Bubble Fruit to turn Naruto's hands and feet into "smooth form."
But attacks that don't hit have no meaning at all.
Toward enemies, Naruto was consistently impartial.
Simply put, he didn't distinguish between men and women.
After taking one punch, Kalifa instantly collapsed, her life or death unknown.
Seeing this, Kumadori, Kaku, and Lucci simultaneously prepared to unleash their strongest secret techniques.
Unfortunately, Naruto wasn't Ace. He didn't have the habit of waiting for people to charge up their ultimate moves.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three more punches, and three more agents joined those lying on the ground.
Seeing this, Blueno was so scared his soul nearly flew out. He reached toward the air, about to use "Air Door" to escape to dimensional space.
But a large hand gently fell on his shoulder.
