Just as Spandam was about to go up and kick Robin a couple more times, a guard suddenly rushed in, reporting,
"Reporting, sir! This is an urgent den den mushi from the Main Island."
"The guard who delivered the den den mushi said there's an important matter to report, please answer quickly!"
Spandam was startled and asked suspiciously,
"What? Couldn't they just call my room directly?"
Saying that, he turned to look at the office den den mushi on his desk.
However, he unexpectedly saw that the den den mushi's receiver was not in place, making it unable to receive calls.
Seeing this, Spandam couldn't help but curse immediately.
"Damn it! Always like this!"
"Who the hell did this?"
After cursing, he temporarily ignored that den den mushi.
He then turned back to the reporting guard and asked,
"You just said there was an important matter to report?"
The guard immediately nodded.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Spandam's lips curled into a smirk, and he chuckled, walking over to pick up the den den mushi.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to answer. Instead, he hummed a tune, slowly pacing, and came before Robin and Franky.
Then, looking down at Robin from above, a triumphant and playful expression on his face, he said with a smile,
"Hey! Nico Robin!"
"Did you hear that?"
"An emergency call has come from Enies Lobby's Main Island."
"But I guess it's nothing big; we can all imagine what it is!"
"Hehe…"
As Spandam spoke, he couldn't help but chuckle. He had already imagined the tragic state of the Straw Hat.
After laughing, he pretended to be puzzled and said in a frivolous, playful tone,
"What about the Straw Hat who desperately managed to take down my 8 guards? What's their situation now?"
"How were they crushed and ravaged in front of my 10,000 guards?"
"Let's all listen together…"
"To the fate of these trash pirates who dared to openly defy the World Government, not knowing their place!"
"Wahahahahaha…"
As Spandam spoke, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Just thinking about the Straw Hat's miserable state made him feel incredibly refreshed!
Listening to Spandam's words, Robin's eyes only held pain and sadness, with no response.
She was still immersed in the sorrow that she would put Luffy and his crew in danger because of herself.
And Spandam, seeing Robin's pained expression, took it as a look of despair from Robin, who had already imagined the Straw Hat's miserable state.
Immediately, he became even more triumphant, and his mood became even more pleasant.
"Haha! Nico Robin!"
"Don't be so sad!"
"This might be good news for the Straw Hat, you know?"
Although he said that, everyone could see that Spandam was just trying to disgust Robin.
Seeing that the other party still had no response, Spandam immediately let out a bored "Tch."
Only then did he slowly answer the den den mushi and proudly announced his name.
"Hello! Guard! I am Spandam!"
And just as he opened his mouth to speak, an incredibly angry roar simultaneously echoed from inside the den den mushi.
"What the hell is that bastard Spandam doing?!"
"Didn't you say the den den mushi had already been delivered?!"
"Answer the phone, quick!"
The two voices almost simultaneously sounded.
Then, instantly, the air fell silent.
Spandam, with snot hanging from his nose, wore a bewildered expression.
And everyone else present couldn't help but feel surprised and confused.
Spandam's status was the highest on this island; who dared to speak to him like that?
Meanwhile, Franky was laughing gleefully from the side.
"Wahahahahaha…"
"Spandam! Even your subordinates say you're a bastard, they really have good judgment!"
Hearing Franky's loud laughter, Spandam immediately snapped back to reality, his expression becoming incredibly furious.
He glared fiercely at the den den mushi, his face contorted with rage, and he cursed angrily,
"Which suicidal bastard dares to speak to me like that?!!!"
The guard on the other end of the den den mushi immediately trembled and shivered.
However, looking at the scene before him, he once again reverted to his previous state of extreme terror, reporting in fright,
"Officer Spandam, I have an extremely urgent matter to report!"
Hearing this, Spandam temporarily reined in his anger, planning to capture and brutally torment this guard later.
He looked at Robin with a playful gaze, then spoke,
"Calm down, you idiot!"
"Listen carefully, report to me concisely and clearly!"
"What happened to the Straw Hat afterward?"
"Were they all killed?"
"Well, there's nothing that can be done, who told them they were too weak?"
As Spandam spoke, a triumphant smile appeared on his face again, and he looked at Robin with schadenfreude.
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely panicked voice immediately came from the other end of the den den mushi.
The guard had already rehearsed the report countless times in his mind.
"Reporting, sir!"
"The invading pirates number approximately 60 in total!"
"The Straw Hat has only had eight combatants fighting, and their Captain, Straw Hat, hasn't made a single move until now."
"We gathered all the forces on the Main Island and resisted desperately, but we couldn't stop the Straw Hat's advance."
"Now, they have already invaded the plaza in front of the courthouse."
"They are about to break into the courthouse!"
Hearing this particularly urgent report, everyone present was deeply shocked.
Spandam was instantly drenched in a cold sweat, his expression astonished and sluggish, and his snot involuntarily flowed out.
He suddenly remembered the warnings Luffy had given him, all of which he had now violated.
This made him incredibly frightened at this moment, afraid that Luffy would really make him die for it, just as the den den mushi said.
The members of CP9 who hadn't dealt with Luffy before were all shocked and disbelieving at this moment.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Is that true? Is the Straw Hat that strong? They've already broken through to the courthouse so quickly?"
"Only 8 combatants fought, and Straw Hat hasn't made a single move to this day! Is this really not a joke?"
"8 people broke through the blockade of 10,000 soldiers? That's too ridiculous!"
Jabra and the other two didn't believe it.
Meanwhile, Rob Lucci and the other two frowned tightly; they had personally witnessed Luffy's power once.
Although Kaku was not as strong as Rob Lucci, his strength was definitely not weak.
Yet, he was kicked away so easily by Luffy, with no chance to react or power to resist, which was enough to show how powerful Straw Hat was.
"I didn't expect that the Straw Hat would be even stronger than I imagined!"
"To break through to the courthouse so quickly, they must have ignored all the pursuing guards and kept advancing! They want to get here as fast as possible."
"It must be! Otherwise, how could they break through to the courthouse so quickly? And Straw Hat hasn't made a move, probably so that they can preserve his strength to deal with us, CP9! They're putting all their hopes on Straw Hat!"
Suddenly hearing the discussion of the CP9 members, Spandam immediately snapped out of his panic.
That's right!
The report just now said that the Straw Hat only managed to take down 8 people with great effort.
How could they have the strength to deal with the 10,000 guards on the island and the powerful CP9?
Thinking this, Spandam immediately became convinced of CP9's guess.
And his nervous and fearful mood completely relaxed at this moment.
"Seriously, Straw Hat is just trash pirate after all, what am I even afraid of?!"
Spandam reminded himself this in his heart.
Then he let out a long breath, regained his calm demeanor, and spoke into the den den mushi with a composed and confident tone.
"Calm down!"
"So what if they were lucky enough to break through to the courthouse entrance?"
"You all gather your forces now and surround them from the rear."
"To get from the courthouse to the Judicial Tower, they can't cross without lowering the drawbridge."
"I will contact Baskerville, the judge in the courthouse, and have him temporarily destroy the drawbridge."
"Then you will force them into a dead end from the rear, won't that make it easy to capture them?!"
As he spoke, Spandam couldn't help but reveal a triumphant smile, deeply admiring his own wisdom.
This way, the Straw Hat would have nowhere to escape!
Just as Spandam was feeling triumphant, the den den mushi once again transmitted the guard's utterly terrified report.
"We...we no longer have enough troops!"
Upon hearing this, Spandam immediately questioned angrily.
"What foolishness are you talking about?"
"Aren't there 10,000 guards on the island?"
"The previous report said that the Straw Hat took down 8 guards; at that rate."
"They would have taken down at most one or two hundred people by now, right?"
"How could there be insufficient troops?!"
As soon as Spandam finished speaking, an extremely panicked shout came from the other end of the den den mushi, clearly reaching everyone's ears in the room.
"Reporting, Spandam sir!"
"Now..."
"The total force of approximately 10,000 troops from the main gate, Main Island, including the courthouse, has now been..."
"...over 9,000 eliminated."
"Now, the remaining forces on the entire island are only a few hundred guards within the Judicial Tower!"
Suddenly, the communicator's voice escalated in panic once more.
"Reporting again..."
"The Straw Hat has already broken through the courthouse gate!"
"The forces within the courthouse are expected to be..."
"...completely annihilated in ten seconds!!!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah...."
An incredibly tragic wail echoed within the den den mushi, and then, there was no sound.
And at this moment, in the room where Spandam and his group were.
The air became incredibly quiet, as if it could suffocate people.
Everyone's face was filled with disbelief and terror.
Spandam's pupils contracted to a tiny dot, his face covered in cold sweat, and the back of his clothes was already soaked with cold sweat.
He slightly opened his mouth, with two lines of snot hanging, staring blankly at the den den mushi in his hand like a puppet.
As for the other members of CP9.
Jabra and the other two were now filled with fear and disbelief...
They too were drenched in cold sweat, unable to believe the report they had just heard for a long time.
"How is that possible?! That report is too exaggerated! How could the Straw Hat be that strong?!"
"Exactly! Didn't they say only 8 people were fighting? 8 people taking down 10,000 guards in such a short time! Isn't this a dream?"
"Although I don't think the guards would falsely report, this report is too unbelievable! Chapa-pa!"
On Rob Lucci's side.
Rob Lucci's brows were tightly furrowed, his expression extremely solemn.
Meanwhile, Kalifa and Kaku both had infinite terror in their eyes, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"8 people taking down 10,000! The Straw Hat is truly stronger than I imagined!"
"Although I've always taken them seriously, the fact proves that I still underestimated them far too much!"
"Although I really don't want to say this, facing such monsters, we simply cannot be opponents!"
All members of CP9 fell into panic and disbelief.
And Franky was also deeply shaken by this news.
"I didn't expect that the Straw Hat would be so strong! I always thought the news reports were fake before!"
"Hey! Nico Robin!"
"You are truly fortunate!"
"To have such a powerful and reliable group of companions to rescue you."
"If it were anyone else, no one would come to save them!"
Saying this, Franky immediately corrected himself.
"It's not that I'm jealous because my subordinates didn't come to save me!"
"But it's just that no pirate would dare to break into this place so openly like them."
While Franky was exclaiming, Robin kept her head down, sobbing uncontrollably, unable to utter a single word.
On Spandam's side.
After staring blankly at the den den mushi for several seconds.
He suddenly snapped back to his senses.
Shaking his head repeatedly, he kept muttering.
"Impossible!"
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"The person who made this report must be Straw Hat in disguise!"
"How could they have broken through to the courthouse?!"
"They only reported that they defeated 8 people earlier."
"And there are those two invincible Giant Race members on the island, they are so strong, they definitely won't be defeated."
"Also, there's the Judicial Dog Unit, and the Guilty Jury."
"These people are all very powerful combatants."
"The Straw Hat couldn't have defeated them so quickly."
"This report must be fake."
Muttering continuously, Spandam trembled all over and dialed a number.
"Baskerville!"
"As long as I ask Baskerville at the courthouse, I can expose Straw Hat's disguise!"
"Pick up the den den mushi, Baskerville!"
Spandam kept talking to the calling den den mushi, and by the end, he was even screaming.
"Purururu purururu..."
"Purururu purururu..."
The den den mushi kept ringing.
All the hopes of Spandam and the CP9 group rested on the other end of this den den mushi.
As long as they heard Baskerville's report from the other side, they could verify the truth of the previous report.
After all, an ordinary soldier's voice was too easy to fake; no one knew who 4.1 was.
But Baskerville was the judge of the courthouse, and everyone knew him well.
His voice definitely couldn't be faked.
After the den den mushi rang several times in a row.
Suddenly, the continuous "pururu" sound abruptly stopped.
This was a sign that the den den mushi had been answered.
Immediately, a look of joy appeared on Spandam's face.
The other CP9 members also breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions relaxing considerably.
Because the soldier just now reported that the court guards would all be eliminated in ten seconds.
But ten seconds had already passed.
And the fact that the den den mushi could still be connected meant that what the guard said was false.
After the den den mushi connected, Spandam immediately said excitedly.
"Hello! Baskerville!"
"Quickly report your situation to me!"
"Just now, that scoundrel Straw Hat disguised himself as a guard and gave me a false report."
"He said that the Straw Hat, with only 8 people, had dealt with 10,000 guards on the island, and had already invaded the court."
"How is that possible?"
"I'm not a fool, of course such a lie from Straw Hat couldn't deceive me."
"So I specifically called you."
"Now..."
"Just answer me simply and loudly."
"Has the Straw Hat... invaded... the court you are guarding?"
Spandam's tone was incredibly excited.
After he finished speaking, the room fell into silence.
Everyone waited anxiously and expectantly for the response from the other end of the den den mushi.
This answer would prove whether the report that everyone found unbelievable just now was true or false.
Finally, after a few seconds of quiet waiting.
An incredibly deep voice came from the other end of the den den mushi.
"I am Monkey D. Luffy!"
