Dr. Clover, whose real name is Cloba, really has no choice. He has personally experienced the ruthlessness of the world government and pins his hope of survival on the demons who help them.
At the same time, in the submarine that was an unknown number of miles away from O'Hara, Spandam also woke up unsteadily.
"Laclo, where is this?"
Spandam made a confused sound, looked at the man next to him who seemed to have experienced a strenuous exercise and asked.
"In a military ship and submarine."
Fearing that the devil would chase him, the CP master who had just finished trampling on the human-powered submarine replied breathlessly.
"Hey, why are we here?"
Spandam hadn't reacted yet and was a little confused about the current situation.
"You probably haven't forgotten the sudden appearance of the demon, right? The navy general was killed without the ability to fight back. I was the one who escaped with you in a coma..."
Laclos explained succinctly how he immediately led the demon to escape after discovering that he could not be resisted by humans.
"I was afraid that the demon would catch up, so I didn't dare to come out of the sea until now, but now we have escaped far enough, and we need to go back to the sea for a breather."
With that said, Laclo threw a phone bug he brought out and continued: "Spandam, you should also contact your father quickly. There must be a reasonable reason for the failure of the demon-slaying order, otherwise we may Being labeled as incompetent."
Failure to do things well may just mean a punishment for an ordinary navy, but for members of a special agent organization, it may be a fatal situation.
Fortunately, Spandam has a background behind him. His father is the commander of CP9. He came here after selling the other party's favor. That person should be able to protect him.
And the failure of the demon-slaying order this time is indeed not their fault. No one knew that such a terrifying monster would appear in O'Hara.
Admiral-level officers were like babies in the opponent's hands, and were dispatched with just a few gestures.
"But I was unconscious before..."
Spandam was a little flustered. He was an irresponsible person and he was afraid of taking responsibility.
"I know, you only need to be responsible for contacting your father, Mr. Spangdyne, and I will report to you what happened after you fell into a coma.
It was not our fault that we ran away from the battlefield. To be precise, we just retreated strategically, took care of ourselves, and brought important news back! "
Laclo also looked down on his second generation ancestor, but he couldn't stand the fact that he had a powerful father behind him and that the family behind him was well-known for his connections with the intelligence agencies. Therefore, he patiently told Si the excuse for evading responsibility. Pandam listens.
The human-powered submarine surfaced, and the phone bug it had taken away before escaping had already regained consciousness, but was still a little depressed.
But after being washed by sea water and fed some food, it quickly restored its communication function.
"Spandam, have you completed the mission of the World Government?"
After the call was connected, the voice from the other side asked about this matter.
"Dad, we encountered an accident. A demon suddenly appeared in O'Hara!"
Spandam said quickly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Is O'Hara encountering some trouble?"
The phone bug showed some impatience, and Spangdyne on the other end obviously thought his son was talking nonsense.
"If you have any trouble, leave it to the navy to solve it. All you need to do is follow behind and take the credit. I have already made arrangements. When you come back, you will get the best of the two marines in this demon-slaying order. The third meritorious service besides Lieutenant General."
"No, Mr. Spangdine, I'm afraid we are the only survivors of O'Hara's demon-slaying order."
At this time, Laclo interjected.
"Well, what does that mean?"
The phone bug made a frowning expression, and asked in a Spangdyne voice.
"Devils are real, O'Hara's archeology
Scholars, they really resurrected the terrifying demon. Except for me and Master Ling who retreated in time, the others may have been killed..."
"What did you say? What did you say when you stepped on the horse?!"
The phone bug's ability to vividly express the speaker's expression directly revealed Spanda's shocked look at the moment in front of the two of them.
"Well done, Laclo, you protect my son. I remember this favor and I will speak for you. Now, take Spandam to the nearest island where the P organization is stationed. I will send someone I went to pick you up, and I will report the matter of the O'Hara Demon to my superiors. I will talk about the details when you come back."
In the office of the top executive of CP9 headquarters, Spangdine didn't look very good after hanging up the phone.
I originally thought that I could successfully pave the way for my son's future, so I relied on some connections to insert Spangdam into this safe Demon-Slaying Order incident, and took up the position of commander of the fleet representing the CP organization. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. Not only did Spandam Pandam's gold-plated resume has not been completed, and now he has become afraid of the enemy and is running away.
[Strategic retreat is simply a nonsense excuse. I have to help Spangdam survive a heroic defeat against the enemy.
As for Laclo, after taking out the detailed information about the devil from his mouth, let him die heroically. 】
Thinking about these things, Spangda began to arrange the drama resume that his son should have after the accident: [A survivor who fought bravely with the demon that suddenly appeared in O'Hara brought important information to the world government. He is a hero who is proud of the defeat of this demon-slaying order! 】
To do this, Spangdain needs to communicate with the people in the Navy, but as the chief of the intelligence agency CP9, he must first report some things to the upper level, that is, the Five Old Stars of the World Government. That's right, after all, the CP organization is an intelligence agency directly under the World Government.
Abuse of private power, nepotism, and assassination of subordinates are nothing, but if you can't be a good dog, you will die.
Spangdain knew this clearly, and as he was able to achieve great success in officialdom, he was naturally a good dog for the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, and a dog could not overstep his own authority and sacrifice someone else's leg first.
Spandain quickly applied for a request to meet the Five Old Stars, and the World Government's Five Old Stars also wanted to know what happened because of the sudden loss of contact with the Demon-Slaying Order fleet. As the first person with information to report, he was quickly allowed to see the scene.
In the holy land of Mariejoia, the five old stars who met Spangdyne soon received a somewhat ridiculous reply.
The group of archaeologists in O'Hara were actually studying the technology of resurrecting demons, and the demons actually appeared, and killed all the people from the navy and CP organization of the demon-slaying order.
"Spandyne, you know we don't like to be deceived. If you dare to deceive us with false information, you should know your fate, right?"
"Master Wu Laoxing, please forgive me. I did tell some lies. My son did not fight bravely, but ran away shamefully. But because of this, I was able to bring him back alive with information about the demon appearing in O'Hara!"
Spangdine knelt down directly, banging his head heavily on the ground, and honestly confessed some false information and admitted his mistake, but did not mention the matter of Laclo.
"Hmph, try to be clever."
Holding a long sword in his arms and wearing glasses on his nose, the Five Old Stars, who looked the youngest among the Five Old Stars, snorted coldly.
"As long as the information is correct, we will give your son a credit and forgive him for escaping from the battle this time."
As long as the dog is loyal enough, occasionally shows some cleverness and makes some small mistakes, it is nothing to the owner.
"Thank you for your tolerance, sir. After I bring that timid son back, I will immediately escort him over to apologize and report what happened to O'Hara to the Five Old Stars!"
Spangdine said loudly, hitting his head on the ground again, he is the dog, and the Five Old Stars are his master.
Regarding Spangdyne's performance, the five elder stars did not show any expression on their faces. The old man holding a cane in the middle said: "Loyalty is more important than ability. Your family has always been loyal to the World Government. As long as you continue to maintain your loyalty, With this kind of loyalty, your son and your son’s son will have a safe future.”
"yes."
"Go down, and as soon as you are picked up, you will be brought over here."
Spangdine withdrew.
"What do you think about the demon of O'Hara?"
"Hmph, how can we look at this? It's just a powerful person who has eaten a devil fruit. Do you really believe that there are real devils in this world?"
Although Devil Fruits are called Devil Fruits, they actually have nothing to do with fantasy creatures like [Devils]. Knowing that Devil Fruits are products born from people's desires, the Five Old Stars and others will naturally not believe that this world is really real. There is some kind of demonic existence.
"I remember that guy Sora arranged for two potential lieutenant generals to go in during this demon-slaying order, but now it seems that he made a mistake and was killed directly."
"Inform Kong and ask him to send some marines to O'Hara to investigate the situation. That guy Spangdine is getting more and more restless and is actually playing tricks in front of us."
"CP9, do you want to change someone?"
"We'll still use Spangdine for the time being, but we can expand the number of agents in other CP departments and throw some of the eliminated waste from other departments to CP9 and use it as waste."
"Can."
"Seconded."
…
In the conference hall with low-key and luxurious decoration, Wulaoxing concluded a conversation about personnel transfer.
.
.
That night, in the naval headquarters, Admiral Sengoku received a summons from Spangdyne and was informed of the demon's appearance in O'Hara.
At first, Sengoku didn't believe it. He was clearly dealing with a group of archaeologists who had no ability to resist. How could it suddenly turn into a situation where demons destroyed the Demon Slayer Order fleet?
And when Spangdine said that he would soon receive a higher-level notice, the Navy might send him to O'Hara to investigate the situation.
Moreover, Navy Marshal Cyborg Kong really came to visit him not long after, and Warring States had no choice but to believe Spangdyne's advance report.
"The fleet of O'Hara's demon-slaying order may have been completely wiped out. Sengoku, Aokiji and Akainu were recommended by you, and you have to take responsibility for this."
In the navy marshal's office, Sora said seriously to Sengoku, who was still an admiral.
"Aokiji and Akainu are very strong. They are just out of contact now, not necessarily dead."
Sengoku retorted.
"But in this situation, as the Admiral of the Navy, I can only consider the worst outcome. We have to send personnel to O'Hara to investigate the situation. If you want to sit in my position, you can't At this point, we are shirking our responsibility for unclear personnel. What the Navy needs now is a responsible commander."
Cyborg Kong said.
"I didn't want to be a marshal, you wanted me to be a marshal."
Warring States reminded.
"I can't help it. The only person in the navy who is qualified to take over as the next marshal is you."
"What about Garp?"
"Haha, let that guy become the marshal of the navy. In a few years, I'm afraid the navy headquarters will be treated like a pirate headquarters by the World Government!"
Garp has a very violent temper, and the behavior of the Celestial Dragons is completely challenging his bottom line of justice. If he wants to be the marshal of the navy, he will probably explode.
"Fortunately, that guy is also self-aware of his temper. After hearing that becoming a general might have to wipe the ass of the Celestial Dragons, he directly refused the promotion."
Cyborg sighed and said, Garp is undoubtedly a benchmark figure in the navy, but unfortunately his character is not smooth enough and he cannot compromise on some things.
"How do I feel that if I really become a naval marshal in the future, I will have to wipe that guy's ass?"
Sengoku's words made Cyborg Kong feel ashamed, because as a marshal, he often wiped the mess caused by Garp.
"This is an illusion. After you become the marshal, Garp will have to listen to you. After you become the marshal, you can display your talents and ambitions, of course, in a limited way."
Speaking of this, Cyborg Kong paused and looked at Warring States with deep meaning: "Don't continue the deal between you and the CP organization in the future. What the higher-ups want is balance, not the secret agents and our navy venting their anger. .”
Sengoku wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Cyborg Kong: "I know you are doing this to give the navy more opportunities to use your fists, but the Five Old Stars will not like this approach.
Remember, we are the navy, the navy of the world government. We have to consider the thoughts of the superiors. This time I have helped you hide it and suppressed the secret deal you had with the CP organization Spandyne, but I hope you can Think through the pros and cons. "
"I see."
Warring States was silent for a while before nodding in reply.
"I have prepared the ship for you. Be careful when you go to O'Hara to investigate this time. The guy who can make the dozen or so fleets of the Demon-Slaying Order lose contact in an instant is probably not much worse than the Golden Lion. I Most of the generals from the headquarters have been mobilized to accompany you on the ship."
Cyborg Kong said that he attaches great importance to the security of the Warring States Period. After all, the future burden of the Navy will be shouldered by the other party in the future.
"Where's Garp?"
"He left a note asking for leave [to go back to his hometown to visit relatives] and left directly. I didn't even see him in person. He should be over there in the East China Sea now."
Cyborg Sora replied.
"Why, you still want me to bring him back?"
"If it were an enemy like the Golden Lion, I might not be able to survive without him."
Warring States said seriously.
"I didn't ask you to fight to the death or retreat if you can't fight. Of course, if you are not worried about Garp, who might fish in the water or even cause trouble for you after learning the content of the demon-slaying order, I can let someone go. Find him back."
"Well, forget it, I'll lead the team myself."
Warring States thought about Garp's temper, and decisively gave up the idea of finding him to go with the ship to find out what was going on at O'Hara.
That night, several medium-sized warships from the Navy Headquarters left the port. In addition to the general Sengoku, there were also powerful lieutenant generals and rear admirals such as Kizaru who followed the ship. Most of Marine Fanta's top combat power It's all here.
The Navy Headquarters paid full attention to the lost Demon Slayer Order fleet. However, when the support fleet, which rushed to the West Sea through the correct sea currents at extremely fast speeds, arrived at the sea area where O'Hara was located, let alone what it was. There are no more people, even the island is gone.
"Are you sure this is O'Hara's coordinates?"
"Sengoku General, I am absolutely certain!"
"What about O'Hara Island?"
"have no idea."
The navigator on the warship shook his head.
"Wow, is there another [country thief]?"
Kizaru said glibly.
"Oz the Demon is just a legend. Look for him in the nearby waters. The island cannot disappear out of thin air."
The Warring States Period issued the order, and the naval soldiers became busy. Many people jumped into the sea and dived to investigate the surrounding sea areas.
And it didn't take long for someone to find a clue. A neat fracture was discovered about fifty meters below the sea surface.
"Well, I was just talking casually. I didn't expect that someone actually moved the island away."
The neat fractures under the sea only prove one thing: someone really cut off the roots of O'Hara Island and then transported it away directly.
"Is it possible that the legendary demon really appeared again?"
"No, there are other people who can also do things like transporting the island."
The naval officers around him were talking loudly.
"Call Impel Down
, confirm the imprisonment situation of Golden Lion Shiji! "
At this moment, Golden Lion, who was about to break his hands and feet to escape from prison, did not know that the current warden of Impel Down City was preparing to come down to check on his situation.
As the culprit who moved O'Hara Island, Wu Ke, who planned to strategically hide the people on the island, was manipulating anti-gravity magic to take O'Hara Island along the uninhabited sea route towards the ocean. It went in a different direction than the naval support fleet came.
"Going in this direction, we will reach the South China Sea soon. Sir JD, there are not many supplies on the island, and we need to replenish it."
A navigator, oh no, an archaeologist who should be called a pilot now, explained the current situation of the island beside Wu Ke.
