Ding!
"Congratulations, host — check-in at Enies Lobby successful!
Reward: Omniscient Log Pose unlocked.
Next check-in point: Sabaody Archipelago!"
Arthur's eyes lit up. He opened his system interface and looked at the brand-new addition to his inventory.
[Omniscient Log Pose]:
A recording device containing complete information on every island in the world of One Piece.
Displays detailed topography, island positions, ocean routes, and potential dangers along any given path.
Includes weather crisis forecasting and, when paired with a Spirit Assistant, unlocks advanced tracking functions — precise location pinpointing of any object or individual, available once per cooldown cycle.
"Oh, this is good. This is real good!"
Arthur grinned so wide his face nearly split in half.
It didn't look impressive on paper — but in truth, it was god-tier.
In the world of One Piece, what defines a truly great pirate crew? Raw firepower? Devil Fruit users? Legendary weapons?
Not necessarily.
The real backbone of any successful crew… was the navigator.
Without a skilled navigator, especially in the latter half of the Grand Line — the New World — even the mightiest fleet could be obliterated by a single freak storm or magnetic anomaly.
Before you ever meet an enemy, nature itself will kill you first.
But now?
With this Omniscient Log Pose in hand, Arthur's crew could chart the entire sea, without a single Log Pose or Eternal Compass.
They'd have full access to the world's map — weather forecasts, currents, sea monsters, all laid bare.
Hell, even an idiot with a rowboat could cross the Grand Line with this thing.
And that "Spirit-Assisted Precision Locator" feature? Combined with the World Tree Spirit tied to his system—
it was like the universe itself had handed him an endgame cheat code.
Talk about sleeping, and someone brings you a pillow…
He couldn't stop smiling. His excitement grew as another thought struck him.
Redfield's Mythical Zoan — Vampire Fruit reward was just around the corner!
First the Raikage's power.
Then Roger's Haki.
Now an artifact that makes even Nami obsolete.
Arthur was giddy with joy, completely oblivious to the stunned faces around him.
Every Marine, every CP agent, every government official nearby was frozen.
He was standing right there on Enies Lobby, the very island that symbolized the World Government's absolute authority…
and smiling like he owned the place.
Spandam's jaw was practically hitting the floor.
"Who the hell is this idiot?! Does he want to die?!"
The CP9 agents, however, didn't look as surprised. They'd seen Arthur fight before.
Rob Lucci's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"It doesn't matter who he is. He's our enemy—and I'll make sure he pays for it."
On the other side of the battlefield, Usopp puffed out his chest with a trembling bravado.
"Hmph! So what if he's flashy? This great Captain Usopp, with my eight thousand subordinates, won't even flinch before a demon like him!"
Then he immediately peeked over his slingshot to make sure Arthur wasn't looking his way.
Of course, in Arthur's eyes, Usopp didn't even register as worth noticing.
"Alright," Arthur said, glancing at his crew. "Mission's done. Let's grab Franky and get out of here."
The Marines and agents around him blinked.
Mission's done?
You came here, wrecked an island symbolizing the World Government's justice, and now you're acting like you just ran an errand?!
Redfield and Bundy World exchanged helpless looks.
"Our captain's a lunatic," Bundy muttered.
"And we're the idiots following him," Redfield sighed.
The three of them made their way toward the CP9 headquarters building.
Inside the Judicial Tower, the tension was palpable.
Both sides stood facing each other in silence.
Arthur had no interest in exchanging words — he wasn't one for speeches. But CP9 had picked a fight with him before, and he wasn't the type to forgive and forget.
A gentleman's revenge didn't need a day — a few seconds was enough.
As for CP9?
They knew exactly what kind of monsters they were dealing with this time.
Spandam, clutching the golden den-den mushi that connected directly to the Buster Call, felt his legs go weak.
He wasn't stupid — his subordinates' tense stances told him all he needed to know.
Whoever this young man was, he was dangerous.
"L-Lucci! Let's fall back! Mission first! Escort me to the Gate of Justice!"
Lucci frowned, clearly irritated.
"You should've left when you had the chance. Now you're in the way."
He sighed, then turned to his men.
"Owl, Bruno — intercept anyone coming from outside.
Kumadori, Kaku, Jabra, Kalifa — we're moving. Guard the director and the prisoners. Do not let them through."
"Yes, sir!"
Bruno immediately opened a Door Door Fruit portal, vanishing with Owl to stall the Straw Hats outside.
The rest tightened formation around Spandam and the two soldiers hauling Franky and Cutty Flam.
Their plan: retreat through the corridor toward the Gate of Justice.
"Move!"
"On my mark," Arthur said softly. "Kill them all."
Redfield, Bundy World, and Crocodile moved simultaneously.
The CP9 agents didn't hesitate either. Kaku and Kumadori engaged Redfield, Kalifa squared off against Bundy World, and Jabra stepped forward to meet Arthur head-on.
Rob Lucci, gritting his teeth, obeyed his orders — escorting Spandam toward the Gate.
"You're not getting away this time!" Jabra snarled, his form shifting as the Wolf Zoan took over.
"Shigan Fang!"
"Tekkai Kenpou: Iron Body Strike!"
At the same time, Kaku transformed into his absurd Giraffe Zoan form, neck spinning like a deadly turbine.
"Rankyaku—Round Slash!"
The whirling slash ripped through the air, fast as lightning and sharp as thunder.
Even the other CP9 agents paled at the sight of it — that kind of destructive power could cut through buildings.
"Kaku! You maniac! You'll hit us too!" Jabra barked.
"Hmph. If you're scared, then dodge!" Kaku replied smugly. "An old man like me can't afford to hold back!"
"Old man?!" Jabra nearly choked. "You're twenty-three, you moron!"
But while CP9 bickered, Arthur's side didn't so much as flinch.
The roaring Rankyaku wave crashed forward — only to disintegrate the instant it touched Arthur's Lightning Shield.
The air shimmered once, then fell silent.
Not even a spark reached him.
Meanwhile, Redfield deflected the excess energy with a lazy swing of Raiju, the crimson blade leaving a burning scar across the ground.
He didn't even look winded.
Kaku and Jabra both froze mid-attack.
Their strongest opening move — gone in seconds.
Redfield smiled thinly.
"You kids call that strength?"
