The World Government officer responsible for reporting shivered and hurriedly ran forward, opening two carriage doors consecutively to reach the first carriage.
Next door to Nico Robin sat a white-haired man lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed, as if he were on vacation!
That face...
The official pointed at the man, trembling all over, "You, you are..."
"The Calamity, Norton Sage."
The calm voice sounded from behind.
"A bounty of six billion Belly, having murdered several kings, all the towns plundered have become ruins... For us in the World Government, you are indeed a notorious criminal."
Lucci bypassed from behind him, stood in front, and looked at Sage, saying, "Especially what you did in Carnival City, it made those above furious. The intelligence report says you and Nico Robin are siblings. Are you here now to rescue her?"
Beside him, all CP9 members gathered, but they were divided into two groups, Jabra and others were nonchalant, while Kaku and the other three were very tense and vigilant.
This guy in front, even though he looked completely relaxed, they dared not be careless.
Completely different from those petty pirates they had encountered before.
Having worked in Water Seven for several years, they certainly had contact with pirates, but those pirates were all weaklings with bounties of several tens of millions, and over time, they looked down on those people.
Including Nico Robin's current companions, the most capable was that 'Straw Hat Kid', with a bounty of one hundred million Belly, who appeared foolish, giving off no sense of threat.
But this guy was different; just by sitting there, the intense threat he emitted made one shiver involuntarily.
It was the aura that belonged to those famed dangerous Great Pirates!
A six-billion bounty, in itself, was a terrifying thing!
Although the Navy assessed pirates based on their threat level, those without enough power couldn't achieve anything too dangerous, and their bounties wouldn't be very high.
The most dangerous in the first half barely reached the three billion mark.
A six billion bounty had already proven that this 'Calamity' was not only dangerous but also very powerful!
"You are Rob Lucci?"
Sage looked him up and down with interest, "Quite a decent fellow, hey, want to work for me like Jabra and the others?"
"If the task requires, it's not impossible."
Lucci glanced at Robin next to them and said flatly, "Hmm... If you wanted to leave, you should have left early, it seems you have other purposes. We also don't have any task to capture you, so as long as you don't interfere with us, do whatever you want."
"What a perfect tool man..."
Sage smiled, "I just need to get to Enies Lobby anyway, riding this train just happens to be on the way. And, didn't you hear what I just said? Bring some food, serve ten people's worth at first, and make sure it tastes good."
Lucci glanced at him again, didn't speak, left the first carriage with the others, and returned to the back.
"Lucci!"
The reporting officer was unwilling to comply, "Just let him go like that? That's a six billion-level criminal! And he's Nico Robin's sibling, which means he..."
"Which means he must also know about the Poneglyph."
Lucci picked up his words and said first, "He knows, his ship has a piece of the Poneglyph, according to investigations, originating from Alabasta, but why he specifically plundered this piece of Poneglyph is still unclear."
"But that's not our concern, our task is to ensure Nico Robin reaches Enies Lobby and, according to the agreement, not to kill the 'Straw Hat Gang'. As long as the task can be completed, that's enough. That 'Calamity' won't interfere with our mission. As for what he will do upon reaching Enies Lobby, that's a matter for later."
"Indeed, engaging in combat with such a dangerous person, our mission is likely not going to be completed." Kaku remarked.
"Go prepare the food, Corgi, Captain Sage is hungry after all." Jabra laughed.
The reporting officer hesitated for a moment, and ultimately nodded, heading to the front carriage.
"Kumadori, that guy Wanze is on the train, we can't let him cook. The Captain is very picky about food, if he finds out, it'll be terrifying, oh oh yi!" Kumadori reminded.
"Hey, you're too mindful of that Calamity, who knows if it's not brought up? Though I've never tasted Wanze's food either." Kaku was puzzled.
"How could it not be brought up..."
Jabra rolled his eyes, pointing at Owl and said, "This guy will definitely talk!"
Sure enough, Owl chimed in, "Do you want food made by Wanze? Wanze will pull noodles from his nostrils, so disgusting, chitter-chat."
While saying this, he instinctively started to run towards the first carriage.
"That's enough!"
Jabra grabbed him, "He hasn't done it yet! Do you want the task to fail? Quickly go and watch what Corgi is up to!"
For Owl, who loves gossip and secrets, this was a very good idea, his eyes lit up, and he followed Corgi to the dining carriage.
Seeing that Owl had left, Lucci sat back on the sofa and thought, "Jabra, what do you know about that Calamity?"
"Give up, Lucci."
As a companion, even though it had been years since seeing him, Jabra knew what Lucci wanted to say.
"Even if your power level surpasses mine by a lot, you still won't be his match, none of us in CP9 will be his match."
Jabra said solemnly, "You just heard the intel, I saw it with my own eyes, that's a real calamity. My report also mentioned, it seemed like he was chased by Vice Admiral Garp into the Devil's Triangle Sea Region, but before that battle..."
He pressed his lips together, thinking of the scene where he and Garp exchanged cannonballs, if that person wasn't Garp...
"Warships pose no threat to him, neither do we pose any threat to him, he even faced one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Moonlight Moriah, and returned to his ship unscathed."
"Although I didn't witness the process, I later heard what he said, that guy was confident he could defeat Moriah. This kind of existence is no longer something we can handle. If this guy actually enters the New World successfully, perhaps we really might end up working under him."
Such a level of pirate, truly rushing into the New World, as long as he does not perish prematurely, is destined to become an Overlord, this is already foreseeable.
The World Government dispatching agents to those threatening pirates is very normal.
"Strange person."
Kaku said, "He doesn't care about our CP9 identity at all, really intends to make us subordinates, isn't he afraid we'll find an opportunity? Even the Four Emperors are guarded against us, let alone knowing the spy's identity."
"That's where it's terrifying..."
Jabra pressed his lips, almost sighing, "He intends to go to Enies Lobby to draw attention, thereby successfully robbing Water Seven. Such things are openly stated, yet we have no means."
Mobilizing the Navy, that takes time too.
Even if Sage doesn't hide a thing, notifying them of the plan, what can be done?
The Navy cannot reach Enies Lobby in time, and a six-billion pirate, while exaggerated in the first half, only ends there, the upper echelons can't focus all attention on him.
The only naval forces able to reach Enies Lobby are those near Water Seven, who can't threaten Sage at all.
Letting go of Nico Robin and Sage to specifically guard Water Seven?
Even more unrealistic.
Enies Lobby, one of the three main institutions under the World Government, cannot be allowed to encounter trouble.
After reporting this news, it's predictable that eventually, the Navy will still head to Enies Lobby, just to capture Sage.
Water Seven will definitely be successfully robbed.
His plan will surely be realized.
Even without hiding or plotting, simply stating things as they are, events unmistakably progress as he anticipated, this is what's terrifying!
As for capturing him...
Jabra really held no hope.
The longer he stayed on the ship, the more he could feel Sage's audacity as well as his unreadable strength.
Not being able to win is one thing, he surely can escape!
This guy is fearless yet good at planning, would never foolishly allow himself to be captured.
"Understood."
Lucci nodded slowly, "Then just wait for the orders from above."
He wasn't riled by Jabra's words, CP9 couldn't match Sage?
That wasn't important.
What he cared about was the task, not who couldn't surpass whom, as long as Sage didn't make a move on this train, he could act as if he hadn't seen a thing.
As long as the task could be accomplished, that's all that mattered.
Should the task demand, regardless of winning or not, he dared take on the Four Emperors.
Without a task, he could also stand by idly, even if that person was a criminal who had destroyed many towns!
