Chapter 81
"Rorschach, look! Water 7 is right ahead! It’s so beautiful!"
Nami pointed forward and laughed happily. The long-awaited sailing had lifted her spirits, and everything felt especially fresh to her now.
"It really is beautiful."
Rorschach looked at the scene before him, which resembled a massive sea fountain, and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
The last time he came here, it was already night, so he hadn’t properly appreciated Water 7’s scenery and atmosphere. This time, he planned to enjoy it properly for a while.
Soon, the sailboat reached an uninhabited shore of Water 7 and docked.
[Ding! The sign-in system has detected the target: Water 7. Do you wish to sign in?]
"Sign in."
[Ding! Obtained Senzu Beans x10]
[Ding! Obtained Advanced Cooking Book]
[Ding! Obtained Agility Enhancement Pack]
[Ding! Next sign-in location: Sabaody Archipelago. Sign-in will open in 40 days. Please proceed to the sign-in location.]
Senzu Beans?! Another item from another world! Rorschach couldn’t suppress the wild grin on his face.
Senzu Beans were amazing — a bug-like item from the Dragon Ball world.
This thing had an effect that seemed thought up on a whim in the anime. Because it was too overpowered, it was later made extremely rare in the later parts of Dragon Ball through plot reasons.
Another life-saving divine item. After signing in at so many islands, he had already obtained several life-saving tools and skills.
Now he had another endurance divine item. With this, Rorschach felt he could fight the Navy for a whole month without issue.
"Here we go again. Rorschach, every time you arrive at a new island you get excited like a child. Is it really that thrilling?"
Nami held her head and spoke while looking at Rorschach, who was immersed in joy.
This wasn’t the first time Rorschach had shown this behavior. He often smiled like this every time they reached a new island.
Mainly because the sign-in rewards were always excellent, with one or two unexpected items each time.
"Nami, you guys go explore first. I have something to do — I need to find the mayor here."
Rorschach didn’t explain the joy of "drawing gold" to Nami. He simply spoke casually and then flew toward the mayor’s office at the highest point.
He hadn’t forgotten his other purpose for coming here — of course he had to go see his super warship first.
...
Thump. Thump. Thump.
In the quiet office, the only sound was the scratching of a pen on paper.
Iceberg was handling documents in his office when a sudden knock on the door startled both him and his ’secretary’ beside him.
"Come in."
Iceberg didn’t look up. He casually called out, and the person outside pushed the door open and entered.
"Long time no see, Mayor Iceberg."
"I’m here to fulfill my promise and collect what’s mine."
A voice that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar rang in Iceberg’s ear.
Iceberg jerked his head up in shock, then broke into a happy smile.
"Long time no see... Rorschach," Iceberg said with a smile.
Kalifa beside him frowned. She found Rorschach’s face somewhat familiar but couldn’t recall who he was. She quickly returned to her serious expression and said to Iceberg:
"Mayor Iceberg, now is not the time for chatting. You still have many tasks to handle today."
"Well, Kalifa-chan, when an old friend I haven’t seen in a long time comes to visit, it’s only natural to catch up for a bit. I’ll handle the official business later."
Iceberg stood up and refuted Kalifa.
"Mayor Iceberg seems to be living quite comfortably these past two years. Having such a beautiful secretary must be nice, huh?"
Before Kalifa could speak, Rorschach walked straight to the sofa and sat down, exactly like when he first met Iceberg two years ago.
"Sir, that is sexual harassment."
Kalifa pushed up her glasses. The reflection on the lenses made it impossible to see her eyes.
"Hahahaha, Rorschach, you’re here for that matter from two years ago, right? The ship has already been built. I didn’t expect that when you said ’a while,’ you actually meant two whole years."
"Yeah, that’s right. Besides coming to collect the ship, I’m also here to fulfill my original promise and help you deal with your troubles."
Hearing Rorschach’s reply, Iceberg’s eyes lit up.
"I see. So the time has finally come," Iceberg said with a smile.
Kalifa watched the two of them talking like riddlers and couldn’t help frowning again.
Just who was this Rorschach? Why did the name sound so familiar? And Iceberg had always been under her surveillance — no one should have been able to contact him without her knowing.
"You must have had it pretty hard these past two years pretending under CP9’s watch. It’s been tough on you."
When Iceberg didn’t know about CP9, he acted naturally. After learning their identities, pretending in front of them became much harder.
"CP9?!"
Kalifa’s expression froze. Her first thought was that someone on the island had been exposed, and this person called Rorschach was here to help Iceberg deal with CP9.
Two years ago... Rorschach? Rorschach! Kalifa’s pupils shrank.
She remembered now — the ’Golden Lion II’ Rorschach who had become famous two years ago!
Because he had disappeared for two years, many people thought Rorschach was dead. She never expected him to appear here after all this time! frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
This was a big shot. She definitely couldn’t defeat him. She needed to quickly notify her comrades to retreat.
Just as Kalifa’s mind was in turmoil, she completely failed to notice what Iceberg and Rorschach were talking about.
"Hey, CP9 girl over there, don’t just stand there. Come sit with us for a bit."
Suddenly Rorschach called out to Kalifa. She snapped back to her senses and walked toward them.
But halfway there, she suddenly noticed what Rorschach had just said. Her expression turned to shock.
Wh... What? I’m the one who’s been exposed?!
She had thought it was one of her comrades on the island who had been exposed. She never expected it to be herself.
"Run!"
This was the only thought left in Kalifa’s mind. She couldn’t possibly defeat Rorschach, who had fought Aokiji two years ago. She could only run!
Whoosh.
But the moment she turned around and tried to jump out the window to escape, she was met with Rorschach’s face right in front of her — she almost bumped into him.
Kalifa broke out in cold sweat and retreated two steps. Then she put her hand to her mouth and blew a loud whistle — an occasional signal they used in CP9.
She wanted to use this to let Lucci and Kaku know she had been exposed.
"Stop whistling. Your comrades outside are already gone. They’ve probably been taken care of by now."
Rorschach smiled as he pulled her hand away from her mouth. She didn’t dare resist and could only let Rorschach do as he pleased.
Rorschach’s Observation Haki could already cover the entire island. He had long since focused on monitoring Lucci and Kaku.
Right now, those two, along with Bruno who was disguised as a bar owner, had come into contact with the girls. With their strength, they were no match for the girls now. ƒrēewebnovel.com
They were probably able to find them so quickly because the girls hadn’t hidden their presence, and the spies noticed them and reported it.
