Chapter 401: Skirmish within the Straw Hats

The World Government has an espionage agency called CP9. This agency was ambushed in Alabastan more than 20 years ago to do something, but it was directly destroyed by Roger and his gang passing by.

Now, after more than two decades, CP9 has been rebuilt. But their leadership is a bit unreliable. Their leader is Spendham, an idiot who rejoices in his achievements.

This man has been doing things in the capital of seven waters. Because the world government got the information, Tom the Fishman has a design plan for a sea ship that has been passed down from generation to generation by the shipwrights of the Seven Waters Capital.

That ship is called Hades. It's a super battleship that claims to be able to destroy an island with a single hit!

When he learned the news, Spandam had a strong feeling that his opportunity to make meritorious contributions had come.

In fact, the world government has long found a stone tablet engraved with the text of history that records the whereabouts of the former super battleship Hades.

But it's a pity. No one in the World Government could understand the contents of the stele. Now Robin is probably the only one in the world who knows ancient writing.

She inherited O'Hara's knowledge and inherited the essence of O'Hara. He is the only survivor of O'Hara, the remnant of O'Hara.

In this case, the only hope for the World Government to get the battleship Hades is in this design of the Seven Waters Capital.

And the credit for getting the blueprints is definitely greater than getting the Hades from Robin. Who would dare to guarantee that with their technology they will be able to restore the battleship to the blueprints?

He had assigned his agents to lurk in the City of Seven Waters for five years. In particular, the mayor of the City of Seven Waters, Esbagu.

Esbagu's master was Tom the Fishman, the master of the ship who had the blueprints of the Hades.

It stands to reason that he should have given the blueprints of the Hades to Espargu before he died. However, they did not find the blueprints of the Hades in Esbagu.

However, by chance, the CP9s remembered one thing, that is, Frankie, the gangster of the City of Seven Waters, had met with Esbagu.

It was when they had just infiltrated the island, and the guy who claimed to be Frankie had approached Esbagu and had been told by his new secretary, Khalifa.

At that time, in order to be sure that he would be received by Esbagus, Frankie told Califa that if Esbagu did not agree to meet him, he would tell him a name: Carter Flam.

Sure enough, after hearing the name, Esbagu changed his mind and came out to meet Frankie.

Suddenly remembering this, Kalifa's contact looked up the name Carter Flam, and the result was very pleasantly surprised.

This is the name of Tom the Fish-Man's second apprentice. According to the World Government's intelligence, this man is dead, dying from the impact of the sea train.

Now things are clear. Espargu gave the blueprints to Frankie. In this way, there would be no need for them to lurk in the capital of the seven waters.

However, just as they were about to reveal their identities one day and end the operation in the capital of seven waters, a group of uninvited guests arrived.

It's a bunch of pirates. Well, the famous pirates, the straw hat boy Luffy and his gang who are plotting together with Klockdahl in Alabastan.

There was also one man on board, an O'Hara orphan who was also the target of their prefect, Spendham, Robin.

In fact, it is very risky to do it to Robin, especially not to let the news leak out. However, the brain capacity of Spendham's straw bale obviously does not take into account such a profound problem.

And his men, a group of sub-combatants led by Rob Busch, never considered these issues.

They were just following Spandam. When the chief says he wants to do something, they do it.

For example, when they reported Robin's presence to Spandham, Spandam decided to arrest Robin as well.

Originally, Robin was his second choice when he couldn't get the blueprints, but now he has met them together!

The overjoyed Spendham never had a small appetite. Naturally, he planned to capture Robin as well!

The timing of their shot was great. Now, most of the members of the Straw Hats are not with Robin, except for Usopp.

There was no way, Usopp fell out with Luffy when he heard that Luffy had decided to abandon the Merry and get a new ship in the capital of the seven waters!

However, this time, because of Robin's presence, the relationship between the two sides was not stiff to the point where Usopp wanted to choose a duel and quit.

Robin had the foresight to use his prescient abilities to cover Usopp's mouth and drag him away.

Robin tells Luffy that she will persuade Usopp, and she asks the others to do the same.

Actually, the reason that Robin wants to say to Usopp is very simple. That is, no matter how good the captain usually seems to be talkative, when he gives orders as a captain, the crew must obey them unconditionally.

Moreover, in fact, Luffy also cherishes the Merry very much. But he wouldn't let one Merry ignore the rest of his friends.

To continue sailing the Merry on the seas is irresponsible to them!

Robin, who has experienced a lot of life and death, is very open-minded. Moreover, not only the Merry, but also the departure of others, Robin felt that he should also see it.

However, just as Robin convinces Usopp and prepares him to go back and apologize to Luffy, Robin is kidnapped by a group of people who appear out of nowhere.

The gang moved extremely quickly, and they handcuffed Midori with Hailou Stone on the first moment they appeared, and beat Usopp away.

Usopp's melee combat effectiveness is still too poor. One of the three people who attacked them came out and knocked him to the ground, and he couldn't get up for half a day.

After that, they kidnapped Robin. But for some reason, they spared Usopp's life, and they weren't masked.

Bleeding from his brain and covered in dirt, Usopp recognized the faces of three men, two of Carrera's shipwrights, and one of the secret khalifa of Esbagu, the mayor of the City of the Seven Waters.

They had just taken Bailey to Carrera during the day! Moreover, the 300 million Bailey they had used to repair the ship had also been dropped in Carrera.

At that time, they didn't think that this was Carrera's Bailey, plus they still saved 100 million Bailey's funds, so they didn't bother with Carrera's people.

But I didn't expect it......

Usopp gritted his teeth and stood up, suffocating his head and running towards the Merry, now was not the time for him to recuperate, not for him to hang his head!

On the beach outside the City of Seven Waters, the dilapidated Merry is parked there. On the deck, the members of the Straw Hats were frowning on it. What are they waiting for......

Suddenly, from a distance, a familiar voice came from the beach, it was Usopp's. It was the voice of a heart-rending Usopp.

"Luffy! I'm sorry! I was too willful just now! I ignored the other guys!"

Luffy was relieved when he heard this. He let out a visibly sigh of relief and laughed.

However, the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore. Because Usopp's voice sounded again, it was still so heartbreaking.

"Luffy! Robin was caught!

With an angry face, Luffy jumped off the boat, and he saw Usopp with a bleeding head, swollen eyes, and a long nose holding it, covered in dirt.
