Chapter 408: Declaration of War
"What about the future member?" said Spendham, who turned to Kakudo after venting to the captured Robin and Frankie. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Hey, I was there just now, I don't know where I went. Kaku shrugged, indifferent, "He said he didn't want to see your sloppy face. ā
Many people present laughed directly, and Frankie, who was bound by chains, was lying on the ground and laughed wildly, making Spendham's face full of anger but helplessness.
He is nominally the commander of CP9, but he himself is just a scum with a combat strength of only 9, and he can't even compare to ordinary soldiers. He didn't dare to offend the wolf-like CP9 under his command, in case he annoyed this group of bad-tempered killers, the other party wouldn't care if you were their boss or not.
Even if Edward didn't want to join CP9, in the eyes of all CP9 members, it was already an established fact, so Spandam could only swallow his anger.
............
Edward had indeed been identified by the CP9 as one of them, and he had no one stopping him from hanging out in the Justice Tower. After a cursory walk, he found himself in a luxuriously furnished living room, where Luci was sitting on the couch, holding up a glass of wine to him.
"Have you figured it out, Edward Lee. Lu Qi stared at Edward Dao with a rebellious gaze, "Join us, and you will get great power and the right to kill at will." If you still refuse, then you will be sent to the undersea prison to advance the city, where you will spend the rest of your life. ā
"I'm not happy with your chief. Edward came to the sofa next to Lu Qi without fear and sat down directly, "That kind of scum, can you really lead you?"
"Lead us, don't laugh, Edward. "He's just a puppet sent by the political axe, and he can only help us with the political and logistical things." ā
"I am the leader of CP9 and the strongest of my fellow students. ā
"We CP9 have our own will, and we are not the kind of miscellaneous fish that can touch them at will. ā
"Why do you think so highly of me?" Edward said as he stared at Lucky, "I think it's not all because of my Light's healing powers. ā
"So this light is called the most holy light? Luqi poured a glass of wine and said, "In the beginning, this ability of yours was the only reason I wanted you to join. ā
"However, in the process of escorting you, I also discovered one of your characteristics. Luki stretched out a finger and pointed to his heart, "You can heal not only our physical wounds, but also our mental wounds. ā
"Originally, when you were on the sea train, it was your last chance to take a stand, but when I discovered this other characteristic of yours, I plan to give you another chance. ā
"As you say, the ideas that the world axe has instilled in us, and the purgatory-like training, distorts our character and keeps us on the verge of rage and murder at all times. When I'm in a state of rage, I even feel the urge to destroy everything around me!"
"I don't like the feeling that we're dominated by rage. ā
"Now, you have a choice, answer me! Join us or be sent to Advance City. With that, Luci shook the wine in his goblet while waiting for Edward to answer.
Edward didn't answer immediately, but looked down and thought about it.
"Mr. Luffy!" just then, a Navy soldier hurried in, and was glared at by Luffy's gaze, and immediately fell to the ground in fright.
"What's the matter? I said I'm dealing with something important, don't bother me!"
"S...... Chief Spendham wants you to meet at the balcony of the Justice Tower, as if the Straw Hats have come in. The sailor replied tremblingly.
"I see, get out. Luki's fingers moved, but retracted when he saw Edward, "Looks like you've got another chance, and when we've cleaned up the Straw Hats, you'll have to give me an answer, Edward Lee." ā
With that, Lu Qi got up and left the living room.
Edward's clenched fist loosened, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Edward did want to learn the six forms of CP9 and was not averse to being commanded by Lucky. But this dark organization is subordinate to the world political axe, and their actions are very disgusting to Edward, which makes him a little torn.
With Lu Qi and the others, Edward did not feel any hope at all, the future of such an organization was not the slightest bright, and joining them was tantamount to plunging himself into darkness.
But Edward is not very reluctant to join, he believes that the light in the darkness is the best way to illuminate the surroundings, and he can use his beliefs to turn this group of powerful people around, so that they can come out of the darkness and meet the bright future.
Edward, who still had to think, did not follow Lucci, but came to the arsenal of the Tower of Justice with a heavy face, where he picked out the heaviest long-handled broadsword, and then dragged it slowly to the balcony.
............
On the balcony, Robin, whose hands are bound by the sea tower stone, is telling the story of O'Hara, the woman Edward's favorite woman on the pirate ship, but who has a very tragic childhood.
Edward stood silently, listening to her hoarse cries, and his heart was instantly infected with a wave of sadness and pity, and at the same time, he recognized the face of the World Political Axe and the Navy Headquarters.
"Even if I flee to the ends of the earth, I will not be able to escape the clutches of my enemies, because my enemies are the axes of the world!
"The last time I met a pheasant, this time too, I don't want to drag you down anymore. If this continues, even if you can put up with me now, sooner or later you will abandon me and betray me because of such a burden!"
"That's what scares me the most!"
"If I'm going to die sooner or later, I'd better die here!"
The clever Edward instantly heard from Robin's conversation with the Straw Hats what had happened recently, and Robin, who thought he was a burden, was caught in self-defeat to keep her companions out of danger.
Faced with this situation, Edward was eager to see how Straw Hat Luffy did it. The Straw Hat Pirates, who were able to break through many obstacles and risk their lives to come to this place to save their companions, would definitely not give up easily.
However, if they continue to fight against CP9, they will face the entire world political axe - an alliance of more than 170 countries!
In Edward's case, he may have acquiesced to this fact and continued to save his companions. But Straw Hat Luffy's approach is even more powerful than him - Captain Luffy directly asks the masked Usob to burn the flag of the World Political Axe on the Justice Tower!
This move shocked everyone, including Edward!
But I have to admit that the behavior of this swaggering captain made the blood in many people's hearts tumble again.
In this world full of blood and dreams, as long as you keep moving towards your goal, occasional willfulness and impulsiveness are completely desirable!
"What an amazing team!" Edward looked at Straw Hat Luffy with blazing eyes, and made a decision in his heart.
