Chapter 82
"Sorry about this, Agent Miss. It’s better if you sleep for a while now."
Rorschach flashed behind Kalifa and gave her a ’light’ tap. She immediately rolled her eyes and fainted into Rorschach’s arms.
"Lord Rorschach, are you planning to knock her out first and then take her outside..."
Iceberg made a throat-slitting gesture. He thought Rorschach didn’t want to make the office too bloody, so he knocked her out to drag her out and deal with her later.
"Come on, we’re civilized people. How could I do something so bloody and brutal?"
Rorschach said with a straight face, then hoisted Kalifa onto his shoulder.
"Mayor Iceberg, I’ll have to trouble you to come with me first to meet my companions, then take us to see the ship."
After sensing Nami and the others’ locations, Rorschach turned back and said to Iceberg.
"Oh, okay." ƒrēewebnovel.com
Iceberg snapped back to his senses and followed along. However, he still had a doubt in his heart.
When did pirates become civilized people? Weren’t they always bloody and brutal?
But he didn’t know Rorschach well — their only connection was the shipbuilding agreement from two years ago — so he didn’t ask abruptly.
Water 7 was a fairly large city, but since most transportation was by water, it was quite convenient.
However, Rorschach carrying a person on his shoulder naturally drew the curiosity of passersby.
Some busybodies wanted to come forward and ask, but when they saw Mayor Iceberg behind Rorschach, they held back their curiosity and didn’t ask.
As the mayor of Water 7, Iceberg still held considerable authority in the eyes of the citizens.
Following his senses, Rorschach arrived at a relatively remote part of the city. In an open area, he saw the girls.
"Yo, Rorschach, you’re finally here. Nami sensed your presence coming this way and said you prepared a surprise for us. What exactly is it that’s making you all so mysterious?"
Karina greeted Rorschach, then looked curiously at Kalifa on his shoulder.
The surprise wasn’t just bringing back another beauty, was it?
Rorschach looked at Nami. She gave him a playful smile and winked.
Clearly, with her Observation Haki and Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, she had already read the brainwaves of everyone in the city.
So she must have overheard the conversation between Rorschach and the others. However, Nami kept the secret and didn’t tell the other girls.
"I did prepare a surprise for you all. I can show you right now."
Rorschach dropped Kalifa on the ground and said.
"Is this woman also with those people? Part of that CP9 organization?"
Karina asked curiously while looking at the blonde woman on the ground.
"Hm? You already knew they were CP9 members?"
"Hahaha, those guys announced themselves as CP9 members as soon as they arrived. They tried to take Sister Robin away and told us to mind our own business if we knew what was good for us. We thought they were really strong, but they turned out to be this weak."
Mikita laughed, then looked disdainfully at the three people lying on the ground. They had talked big before the fight, acting extremely arrogant, making everyone take them seriously.
In actual combat, they couldn’t even withstand Nami’s lightning strike. They had been overestimated.
They still didn’t fully understand their own strength level, so they were still quite cautious when facing enemies.
Rorschach glanced at Robin. She had a calm expression and even smiled at him.
Clearly, she wasn’t as panicked as two years ago. Her strength had given her some confidence.
As long as she didn’t have to face Aokiji — her personal nightmare — Robin wouldn’t lose her composure like she did two years ago.
But one day, Rorschach would let her personally break her own nightmare.
"Mayor Iceberg, I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way now."
Rorschach then said to Iceberg. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"No problem," Iceberg replied.
He casually found a wooden plank, used his ability to float it, and threw Lucci and the other two onto it to carry them. As for Kalifa, of course Rorschach carried her himself.
Rorschach had his own plans for these CP9 members.
Instead of killing them outright like before, he intended to recruit them.
Lucci and Kaku had excellent talent. Kaku had developed his Zoan fruit from zero to awakening in just two years.
Bruno’s Door-Door Fruit was also very useful. As for Kalifa, she was tall, fair-skinned, and would make an excellent ’secretary’.
Soon, Iceberg led Rorschach and the others to a remote port.
A huge wooden house had been built on the sea surface. At the entrance, several oddly dressed thugs were laughing and chatting.
"Who’s there?"
Suddenly, one of them shouted at Rorschach’s group, drawing the attention of the others. They all turned with fierce expressions.
But when they saw who had arrived, their expressions softened. The fierceness disappeared, though their attitudes weren’t particularly friendly either.
"What? So it’s you, Iceberg. What’s up? Are you here to collect the ship?"
"That’s right. Thank you and the Franky Family for looking after it these past two years."
Iceberg nodded in response.
"Hmph. If it wasn’t for the good money you paid and our boss’s orders, we wouldn’t have bothered guarding this place."
The leading thug snorted coldly, then left with his subordinates.
Since someone had come to collect the ship, their mission was complete, so there was no need to stay here any longer.
"Lord Rorschach, please follow me."
Iceberg was already used to the thugs’ attitude and didn’t mind it. He pushed open the door and smiled at Rorschach.
"So... so big!"
The moment they entered, the girls couldn’t help but cry out in amazement. Even the usually calm and composed Robin slightly opened her mouth. Only Reiju, who came from a family that owned an entire island as a ship, wasn’t too surprised.
At the bow was a statue of a woman with closed eyes and arms crossed over her chest. On both sides near the bow were carvings of a golden dragon and a roaring lion.
"This is the statue of the Goddess of Water. We hope she can help you withstand strong winds, bring you good luck, and guide your way."
Seeing Rorschach’s curiosity about the bow, Iceberg smiled and explained.
"It doesn’t mean much to me. Just tell me about the ship," Rorschach shook his head and smiled.
Iceberg was slightly stunned. Indeed, with the Float-Float Fruit, ordinary winds and waves couldn’t stop Rorschach’s advance.
"This is a large three-masted sailing ship with one main mast and two auxiliary masts. It is 120 meters long, equipped with three main cannons and twenty secondary cannons. There are three charging stations inside. According to your requirements, after charging with electricity, it can accelerate the ship’s sailing speed. The main cannon at the bow can also fire electromagnetic cannons after being charged with electricity. The ship can accommodate over a thousand people."
Iceberg then introduced some of the warship’s features to everyone.
"Captain Rorschach, where are your other crew members? I haven’t seen them yet."
Iceberg suddenly asked in confusion. So far, he had only seen Rorschach’s female companions. He hadn’t seen a single other crew member.
"Crew members? Aren’t they all right in front of you?"
Rorschach was even more confused. What other crew members did he have?
"Don’t tell me Captain Rorschach plans to operate this large sailing ship with just twelve people? That would be quite difficult. I suggest Captain Rorschach recruit a few dozen sailors."
Hearing Rorschach’s reply, Iceberg was shocked.
He had assumed Rorschach had many crew members, which was why he requested such a giant warship. He never expected there to be only a dozen or so people.
