Conquering The World With One Piece

3 days later…

I was sitting in my office and taking my afternoon nap as usual. There was neither any interesting pirate activity nor any results from training, leaving me with nothing much to do all day.

Thud-

At that moment, 2 people barged into my office. One of them was the familiar commodore Yarisugi, and the other was a man that smelled heavily of cigarettes, Smoker.

I opened my eyes slowly and focused my gaze on Smoker. After realizing who he was, I picked up a doc.u.ment and handed it to him with a grin.

"Congratulation on your promotion, commodore Smoker! It's good to have the hero of Loguetown here! Feel free to ask any questions…"

Smoker skimmed through the doc.u.ment I gave him with a visible frown on his face. The doc.u.ment just contained information on the duties and units assigned to him…

"Questions you say…! First, why the hell did you promote me and bring me here!? Second, what the hell is wrong with the Marines here burning prisoners alive?!"

Before I could answer, Yarisugi scratched his head and said, "We usually don't torture the prisoners this much… It's just that things have been a little melancholic here since Tashigi and Nami-Chan left…"

Smoker's nose wrinkled as he connected Nami-Chan to his assigned unit, Nami Corps. He conjectured that she may have been some strong leader that commanded the base here before him.

I rubbed my chin and added, "Smoker, you and I are both from East-Blue… I liked your achievements and wish for you to replicate them here."

Smoker smirked and tried to intimidate me by pointing his sea-stone tipped jitte at me.

"Of course, I'll be doing that… But don't you think you can just order me around however you like…!"

With a pronounced sigh, I teleported myself next to him and grabbed his hand made of smoke.

"Wha…"

Smoker mustered up all his strength to pull his hand away, but my grip was too strong.

I leaned a little closer to him and said, "Welcome to the New World, Smoker! Keep in mind that Logia-types like us aren't invincible anymore…"

Smoker's eyes blinked as he thought, 'This Magnus Leo sure isn't the current youngest vice admiral for nothing...'

Later in the day, I was flying in my lightning form to Marineford to meet Nami and Tashigi. Even though it had only been 3 days, I thought having a dinner with them wouldn't hurt their training too much.

After flying over the Red Line, the town of Marineford came into my view. I immediately headed over to the voice of Tashigi and my mom at the training grounds.

Presently, Momousagi's eyes were sparkling for some reason. She hummed a little and said, "Hahaha… Great news, Tashigi! Sengoku-Chan agreed to station me at G-5 in a few months from now… I'm going to be with my sweetie, every day now!"

Tashigi smiled wryly and congratulated my mom; then, she went back to her training.

I was just about to go bribe Sengoku to cancel my mom's transfer, when I caught the electric vibrations of something that jolted my heart in worry…

In the communication cell of the headquarter building, I could hear urgent orders being relayed around the room. Currently, a Marine officer seemed to be receiving a call from Enies Lobby at Judicial Island.

[Purupurupurupurupuru… Kachak….]

[Lieutenant commander Draco from Enies Lobby reporting here! We're going to be opening the Gates of Justice for the high-profile fugitive, Nico Robin, being transported from here to Mariejois]

[Communication officer Behan from headquarters here! What time will the gates be opening?]

[Nico Robin is currently about to be escorted by CP9 from San Faldo island city via the Puffing Tom Sea Train. The gates should be opening in about 5 hours...]

[Orders understood and relayed; we'll prepare additional security for when they get here… Kachak…!]

Without delay, I grabbed an Eternal Pose to Enies lobby from the navigation department and hastened away from here. I don't know how Robin got caught this easily, but I still needed her to be alive…

A few hours before, at San Faldo island town…

Nico Robin was running away from a group of pursuers. Exhausted and wounded, she went inside a huge factory to hide.

Some distance behind her, a tall, slim, and muscular man followed behind her. He wore a large black top hat and a two-piece black suit with a pigeon perched quietly on his right shoulder. He was Rob Lucci, a member of CP9.

"Just surrender and cooperate with us... You should know that once the World Government has you in its radar, your only option is to be killed or caught and interrogated. Now hurry up; you're taking too much time away from CP9's operation at Water 7…" Lucci said, his voice stern and emotionless.

Robin bared her teeth at him and yelled, "You never give up huh… I'm never going to surrender to the World Government…!"

"Suit yourself then..."

Nico Robin staggered away from Rob Lucci and made an 'X' shape with her hand, preparing to strangle him with her powers.

Rob Lucci smiled evilly at her actions and used Soru to rush at Robin…
