"Pluton..."
Robin looked at the blueprint in Sage's hand with astonishment:
"Sage, are you here for it? No, CP9's attitude towards you is strange. If they don't know, you shouldn't know either. You already know where Pluton is, why still..."
"Give it back to me!"
Franky shouted and lunged forward.
At that moment, two figures moved. Jabra appeared in front of Franky, pressing his face and pushing him back violently.
Lucci appeared behind Sage, reaching for the blueprint in his hand.
Bang!
Franky's head slammed into the wall of the carriage, splintering wood chips everywhere, leaving a dent with a hint of blood.
This made Franky's face contort; his back hadn't been modified, so the pain was real.
Simultaneously, there was noise from Lucci.
Without a glance, Sage kicked Lucci away with a powerful force that sent him flying, crashing through two rows of sofa seats, and slamming into the doorframe of the carriage.
Everyone's faces tightened, taking on a guarded expression.
"Sneak attacks don't work on me, Lucci."
Sage turned around, waving the blueprint in Lucci's direction, tucked it into his pants pocket, and laughed:
"I know you're all dissatisfied... Including you, Jabra, you always wanted to make a move on me. That's fine, I permit it."
At this moment, he was wearing a shirt with ruffled edges similar to Hawkins', but it was clearly more expensive, open to the chest with gemstone buttons and black-gold embroidery on the collar.
The lower half had leather pants with pockets, while the front of his boots gleamed with a metallic sheen, with the stack of blueprints half inserted into his pocket, brazenly unafraid of theft.
And no one could steal it.
The 'Thoughtless Shadow Kill' technique was impervious to sneak attacks.
Jabra licked his lips and chuckled, "The Captain sure is magnanimous, understanding our work. Although it's not my task, we CP9 are a cohesive unit, we're from the same place, we're partners."
All current members of CP9 hail from Crown Island, a place that serves as their homeland and the base for training assassins and CP9.
"Of course, I'm always generous, but only once. Choose the time freely, but after that, if you make a move again, it will be resolved according to ship rules."
Sage said casually, found a sofa, and comfortably lounge on it.
Lucci got up, dusted off his clothes, his expression still calm but with a hint of caution in his eyes.
The power was overwhelming...
Even he couldn't react in that instant.
"No wonder he's a 600 million bounty pirate... It's better not to fight here; it would destroy the carriage."
Lucci looked up at the window, from his position he could see amidst the dark nights and clouds, a light emerging ahead.
Sage sensed something too, turned his head to look through the side window, his pupils slightly dilated, "Oh..."
Surrounded by darkness and a massive storm cloud, but at the center of this cloud, the sky seemed torn open, descending light onto the island, turning it to daylight.
But it wasn't just daylight; from the position of the Sea Train, one could also see around the island, a circular waterfall with no visible bottom, resembling an abyss.
The whole island seemed to be floating in the air.
This is the miracle of the sea; without witnessing it firsthand, one wouldn't know how magnificent the world truly is!
"Daylight Island, Nocturnal Island... That is Enies Lobby, cha-ba-ba," Owl said.
The Sea Train surged through the waves, breaking turbulent waters, arriving at the daylight land, even the storm calmed down, unaffected by any weather change on this daylight land.
The train turned a corner along the track, riding close to the island, soon reaching the front of the island, with a whistle sounding, the train slowly stopped on the track in front of the main entrance.
"Someone's already here to welcome us..." Sage glanced out the window at the ready Navy and government officials, chuckled softly.
"Then let's go,"
Lucci said, leading Robin and Franky out of the carriage.
"That blueprint cannot be in your hands! Sage! As Robin's brother and an O'hara survivor, don't you know Pluton's danger?"
Being escorted by Blueno and Kumadori, one on each side, Franky still wanted to resist, continuously shouting at Sage.
Sage grinned showing his teeth, "I'm an illiterate, don't know what danger is. This thing in my hand is mine, destroying it would be my own doing."
Franky was escorted out, still struggling, was chained directly. They wanted to cuff Robin with Seastone Handcuffs, but Lucci shook his head at that moment, saying:
"No need, just take her away. Nico Robin has no intention to resist... You guys go see the officer."
"Yes!"
The leading Navy saluted, holding their weapons, surrounded the two, heading towards the main gate.
Meanwhile, the entire CP9 stood on the open ground, faced at least a thousand guard forces gathered at the main entrance, like protectors, guarding before the carriage.
