"What happened, Rowen?" Vivi asked, looking towards him.

"Nothing much. Cutty Flam—now known as Franky—was captured by CP9," Rowen replied.

His words made Iceburg's pupils constrict sharply.

"There are more CP9 members in Water 7??" Iceburg exclaimed, his voice cracking.

Franky possessed the Pluton blueprints. His master, Tom, had sacrificed his life to prevent the World Government from obtaining those plans. He, too, had inherited Tom's will, determined to keep that terrifying weapon out of the World Government's hands.

But now—was it all for nothing?!

"Blueno. User of the Door-Door Fruit. A rather useful Devil Fruit ability," Rowen commented with a faint smile, looking at the unconscious Kaku and Kalifa.

The Door-Door Fruit, while not directly enhancing combat power, its spatial manipulation abilities were quite useful to Rowen. Blueno had been undercover as a bartender in Water 7. CP9's setup to obtain Pluton's blueprints was indeed meticulous: Kalifa as Iceburg's secretary, monitoring his every move.

Kaku and Lucci as Galley-La foremen, controlling information within the shipyard; Blueno, as a bartender frequented by various informants, gathered intel from outside Galley-La— _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

Franky, being a cyborg, needed cola as fuel and often visited Blueno's bar. Without cola, Franky's combat power plummeted. To capture Franky quickly—did they replace his cola with special juice, then seize him when he was weakened?

Rowen's Rumble-Rumble Fruit-enhanced Observation Haki scanned the situation, a curious smile playing on his lips.

Blueno, who in the original story, despite having the Door-Door Fruit, foolishly relied on Tekkai and was subsequently taken down by Luffy—

—This time, instead of senselessly confronting Franky, he used strategy.

'Perhaps the pressure I brought forced even an idiot to evolve a bit? Interesting.' But to dare complete their mission knowing he, Rowen, was here—gutsy.

Rowen's eyes flashed crimson-black.

"Blueno! He's CP9 too??" Iceburg broke out in a cold sweat.

Paulie and the other foremen also stared in disbelief. That unassuming bartender, Blueno—was also CP9??

"A bit clever... but do you understand the consequences of such actions? Playing these little tricks in front of me??" Rowen asked, walking over to Kaku and retrieving a Transponder Snail from him.

Blueno had acted prematurely, before confirming Franky's identity, precisely because Kaku used this snail to report their exposure.

"D-Damn it!" Kaku and Kalifa looked utterly defeated and unwilling.

This man's abilities were too SCARY!

Nothing could be hidden from him... All their schemes and plans—were like the laughable struggles of ants in his eyes!

<><><><><><><><>

"Mr. Rowen. Pluton's blueprints absolutely cannot fall into the World Government's hands!" Iceburg pleaded anxiously, looking at Rowen.

If this Emperor took action, even if Blueno captured Franky, they couldn't escape Water 7! This was his only hope now!

Iceburg's eyes filled with desperate worry.

Though on the surface, his relationship with Franky seemed strained due to their differing views, in reality, Iceburg cherished Franky, his junior apprentice, like important family—

Tom's death had already cost him one precious family member; Iceburg didn't want to experience that pain again.

"CP9's headquarters... is Enies Lobby, correct? Well then—Enies Lobby can be erased from this world," Rowen declared, a tyrannical crimson-black light flaring in his eyes.

Enies Lobby was where Buster Calls were authorized—Robin's severe psychological trauma from the Ohara Incident could roughly be divided into two parts:

Aokiji and the Buster Call.

The Aokiji trauma was completely erased the moment Aokiji fell to Rowen.

But the Buster Call... the thing that destroyed Ohara and caused Robin her greatest psychological scars—hadn't been dealt with yet.

Though Robin was much more confident now thanks to Rowen, no longer fearing Marine Admirals, even looking at CP9 with a critical eye—the Buster Call still held immense sway over her.

Psychological trauma, like the 'Desire' needed for Devil Fruit Awakening, wasn't something that could be simply wished away—

One had to experience it firsthand to truly overcome it. Only by experiencing another Buster Call could Robin completely eradicate the shadow of Ohara.

Whether for Robin's sake, or to display his 'imperial majesty'—Enies Lobby had to be wiped from these seas!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The moment Rowen's words fell—the sky above suddenly darkened. Countless air currents began to roil violently. Innumerable coiling serpents of lightning writhed within the black clouds!

"Changing the climate with a single thought... Is this an Emperor??" Iceburg, under the terrifying pressure, collapsed weakly to the ground, staring in horror at the dramatically altered, terrifying weather.

"As for saving Franky—give me a reason," Rowen stated, looking at Iceburg.

"A reason..." Iceburg fell silent upon hearing this.

He wasn't surprised this man knew he wanted Franky saved; everything that just happened proved no secrets could be kept from this man.

This man was an Ultimate Human!

But what could he offer to move an Emperor? His shipyard? Don't be ridiculous! Those mundane things were beneath this man's notice!

Wait... This man came here for ship repairs! Iceburg's head snapped up.

"A shipwright!" Iceburg yelled.

"Franky is the best shipwright in the world! IF WE WORK TOGETHER, WE CAN DEFINITELY BUILD THE WORLD'S BEST SHIP!" Iceburg declared, looking at Rowen, clenching his fists.

"Ha... HAHAHAHA!"

Iceburg watched as the man before him threw his head back and laughed with absolute power...

As he laughed, the very clouds in the sky trembled. The writhing lightning seemed to prostrate itself...

"A good reason!" Rowen smiled.

"Well then, for Merry's sake, we have to go to Enies Lobby and bring Franky back—" Rowen stated, looking towards Luffy.

"Shishishi! The world's best shipwright? Let's save him and make him our shipwright, Rowen!" Luffy replied, equally enthusiastic.

"A-Are we really going to flatten Enies Lobby?" Usopp's legs trembled. Enies Lobby was one of the World Government's three great strongholds.

Enies Lobby, Impel Down, Marine HQ—constituting the World Government's 'Absolute Justice'.

Anyone taken to Enies Lobby would be judged guilty, then passed through the Gates of Justice to be imprisoned in the great undersea prison, Impel Down, for detention or execution—

For 800 years, it had never delivered a 'not guilty' verdict, thus symbolizing the World Government's absolute justice.

Rowen said they were going—Usopp would naturally follow. But Usopp, whose cowardice was ingrained in his genes, couldn't stop his legs from shaking.

"Usopp, are you scared?" Chopper, also feeling uneasy, sidled up to Usopp.

"WH-WHO'S SCARED?! I am the comrade of the Fifth Emperor! Usopp the Brave! The world calls me the Fifth Emperor's reliable right-hand man!" Usopp roared.

"SUGEEEEEEEEE! As expected of the man with the 35 million Beri bounty!" Some shipwrights nearby gasped in admiration.

This exclamation instantly boosted Usopp's spirits, and he began boasting loudly about his upcoming heroic exploits on Enies Lobby.

"Excellent, Usopp. You'll lead the charge attacking Enies Lobby," Rowen stated, clapping Usopp on the shoulder, his expression one of profound approval.

FWOOSH!

WHOOSH!
