Chapter 258: The Homeless CP9

Enies Lobby, at this moment, still looked like a ruin; a streak of blood-colored light descended from the sky and landed here.

"How strange, why was the Buster Call triggered again? Where did that guy Spandam get a Golden Den Den Mushi this time?"

Standing on the ruins of Enies Lobby, Uchiha Feiyu was slightly puzzled. In the original story, the appearance of the Buster Call was actually not because of the Pluton blueprints, but because CP9 had captured Robin, drawing in Robin's "old father," Aokiji.

This Marine Admiral didn't know what he was thinking either; perhaps he had some desire to see the World Government agents make fools of themselves, so he actually handed his Golden Den Den Mushi directly to Spandam, thus creating the dark humor of a Buster Call attacking Enies Lobby.

Moreover, after this chaotic operation, Enies Lobby suffered heavy casualties, with almost no survivors. Yet, the Marine Admiral who provided the tool was completely fine, Spandam, the perpetrator, escaped punishment, and although the CP9 agents were hunted for a time, they later rejoined the World Government and even received promotions...

Enies Lobby, which claimed to be on the same level as Marine Headquarters, ultimately exposed its embarrassing reality of not being valued at all through this dark joke.

In Uchiha Feiyu's view, this was truly a dispensable government institution.

After all... the World Government had never pursued any judicial justice. The so-called Enies Lobby was, in the end, just a facade project. Let alone comparing it to Marine Headquarters, the violent institution under the World Government, it couldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as the Impel Down prison.

But regardless, this was Enies Lobby; under normal circumstances, it would certainly be impossible for it to be attacked by a Buster Call.

Although the Marine Admirals each had their own personality flaws, having them launch a Buster Call on Enies Lobby was tantamount to a fantasy. Only in a situation like the original story, where the Buster Call was placed in the hands of a piece of trash like Spandam, would the current situation occur.

"Forget it, why worry about so much! Maybe some Marine Admiral or the Fleet Admiral had a lapse in judgment again and gave the Golden Den Den Mushi to Spandam. Better to go find those CP9 agents first."

In the original story, the CP organization did not defeat the Straw Hat Pirates. This time, although the Straw Hat Pirates were missing a few members and hadn't gained the experience points from Sky Island and Alabasta, the main trio had all been strengthened by Uchiha Feiyu. Their vitality was more tenacious, and their potential was even greater, so after a bitter battle, they still defeated CP9.

The final result was much the same; the Door-Door Fruit user Blueno rescued all his companions, and that Spandam pushed all the blame onto Lucci and the others. At this moment, there were already many Marines on the island hunting these agents. If Uchiha Feiyu hadn't added a layer of illusion to himself, he might have been discovered long ago.

During this time, Uchiha Feiyu's Vampire Fruit ability had been improving, and now he had begun to awaken the ability to create illusions. It didn't provide any bonus to his absolute Power Level, but it did increase his methods quite a bit.

"I can feel it... the blood aura of those CP9 guys disappeared right here..."

Arriving beside the ruins, Uchiha Feiyu narrowed his eyes and paused for a moment.

Subsequently, a strange sound came from the air, and a circular air door opened.

"Blueno, what are you doing? Who exactly is the person outside?"

A complaining voice rang out immediately, yet the bull-horned man who walked out of the air door didn't care at all: "Sir, all the members of CP9 are here."

Following Blueno's voice, a group of disheveled CP9 members walked out from the green space behind him. This time, the injuries on these guys seemed even more severe than in the original story, especially several CP9 members who were showing symptoms of anemia.

Uchiha Feiyu thought for a moment and realized that by the end of the battle, these guys must have had quite a bit of blood sucked by the Straw Hat trio. After all, the Straw Hat trio had only just been turned into blood servants by him, and many of their abilities were likely still being explored. It was very normal for them to go berserk and suck blood due to injuries midway through the fight.

In a berserk state, the Straw Hat Pirates' Power Level might even increase a bit, and they would absolutely not hold back. Moreover, after sucking blood, they could not only replenish their stamina but also fully recover from their injuries. With one side growing stronger and the other weaker, it was completely understandable that these guys suffered even heavier injuries.

"Aren't you going to explain to us, Blueno? This gentleman, could he be an official of the World Government?"

Kaku, who had a long nose, looked at Uchiha Feiyu with a trace of wariness and asked.

Uchiha Feiyu looked at the few people who were still fantasizing and spoke indifferently:

"Sorry, you guessed completely wrong. I have no relationship with the World Government. And if I were a member of the World Government right now, you would be in even greater danger. The World Government has already issued a warrant; your crime is summoning a Buster Call to destroy the entire Enies Lobby."

"What!"

"Are you kidding!?"

"Impossible, when did we summon a Buster Call! And even if we really did summon a Buster Call, there's no reason to bomb ourselves along with it!"

"It must be that bastard Spandam, pushing all the blame onto our heads! It was clearly that bastard who, disregarding our lives, summoned the Buster Call!"

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now." Watching the severely injured CP9 members so indignant—some were even so angry that their wounds burst open again—Uchiha Feiyu spoke up to stop them from complaining further.

If the Straw Hat Pirates didn't beat them to death and the Buster Call didn't blow them to death, but they ended up dying of anger, that would be quite the joke.

"If you don't believe me, you can walk around this island and see the situation; there are Marines everywhere looking to capture you."

"And don't play dumb with me. As an agent, you should have recognized my identity the moment you saw me!"

Kaku gave a bitter smile:

"Sorry, Mr. Blood Demon... your name should be Uchiha Feiyu, right? The CP organization does indeed have intelligence on you."

"I don't know, Mr. Feiyu, what business do you have with us stray dogs now?"

"What, you believed my words so quickly?"

"No, I didn't believe Mr. Feiyu's words, I just know our former superior, that Spandam's style, very well. I have full confidence that he would do such a thing."

Kaku said with a face full of bitter smiles, and the group of CP9 agents behind him nodded in deep agreement.

Well, this wave was a case of reverse-increasing trust. These agents might not trust him, but they had great confidence in how much of a disaster their former boss was, so as soon as Uchiha Feiyu mentioned Spandam's actions, these agents all believed it.

"Alright, Blueno and I can only be considered friends. This time I'm just here to do you a favor and take you away from here. Now, follow me!"

"Your actions are a bit too suspicious, aren't they! Seriously, does everyone really believe him? Chapapa!"

The most famous big-mouth in the CP9 organization, Fukuro, looked at the other agents following behind Uchiha Feiyu and couldn't help but feel strange, blurting out a sentence.

Kalifa, standing in front of Fukuro, sighed and turned her head to look at the big-mouth behind her:

"What's the point of saying this now? Whether we believe it or not, we don't have any other choice now, do we!"

"Even if we wanted to return to the World Government, we have to save our own lives first. Based on my understanding of our former superior, that guy will definitely spare no effort to send assassins to wipe us out!"

These CP9 members were a liability while alive. Not to mention what kind of end Spandam would meet once the matter was exposed, just the fact that every one of these agents was a superhuman with extraordinary strength—if any surviving agent relied on their own personal power to take revenge, it would be enough to give Spandam a headache.

After all, he was just a piece of trash with a Power Level no higher than a Marine soldier. Any member of CP9 could kill him instantly. If these agents really wanted to assassinate Spandam, Spandam would likely not be able to escape.

So, of course, Spandam would try every possible way to kill his former subordinates. Every one of these agents that lived was a sign of disrespect to his own life.

Hearing this, Fukuro's face immediately revealed a look of realization, and then he hurriedly followed the main group.

At this time, the number of Marines who had arrived on the island was not yet large; they had only searched in a scattered manner and had not formed a perimeter, so it was easy to slip out through the gaps in the search.

After seeing the terrifying scene of the Buster Call, these Marines had already considered the CP9 agents as dead men. Even if one or two survived, they were likely severely injured and had no combat capability, so naturally, they wouldn't search too rigorously.

During the walk, these agents had also heard the Marines' conversations, confirming the news Uchiha Feiyu had just told them. Now, they had truly become wanted criminals of the World Government.

With this, these agents became completely docile. The World Government, this behemoth—it was fine when they were relying on it as a backer, but now that they had to face it, the psychological pressure it exerted on these agents was incomparable.

When they were at a loss, these agents instinctively chose to follow Uchiha Feiyu's advice. Soon, the group arrived at the entrance to the Enies Lobby Sea Train.

"You guys leave from here first! Walk another five or six kilometers from here, and you'll encounter the ship I left behind. There is an Eternal Pose on the ship; just take the ship directly to Alabasta."

"Sir, aren't you coming with us?"

"I have to stay behind to clean up the aftermath, otherwise you guys probably won't be able to get away."

Uchiha Feiyu turned his head and spoke indifferently:

"Am I right? Admiral Kuzan."

Behind a giant rock behind Uchiha Feiyu, wisps of cold air suddenly emerged, and a large amount of ice gradually rose from the ground, transforming into a tall, thin figure.

With a head full of curly hair, an eye mask on his head, and a somewhat lazy expression on his face, it was none other than the current Marine Admiral Aokiji:

"Oh my, my... I was discovered all of a sudden!"

"After all, it's easy to figure out; how could there be a frozen puddle on Enies Lobby, which just had a Buster Call executed on it?"

Uchiha Feiyu wore a polite smile on his face and spoke:

"And my Observation Haki is at a pretty good level..."

"It's more than just a 'pretty good' level; at least in the first half of the Grand Line, your level of Observation Haki can be called one in a million. Could it be that you are one of those freaks who are born with an Awakening of Observation Haki?"

"Asking about other people's information so casually isn't very polite, is it!"

Glancing at the Agent of the CP organization who was retreating along the Sea Train tracks, Uchiha Feiyu felt slightly relieved and continued to chat with Aokiji.

"What are you trying to do, hiding here, Admiral? As far as I know, you were the one who gave the Golden Den Den Mushi to that idiot Spandam. You can't possibly think that these unlucky Agents destroyed Enies Lobby, can you!"

Aokiji chuckled and leaned back against the rock behind him:

"That has nothing to do with me. The Marine high command has never interfered in the affairs of the World Government and these Agents. I won't move to arrest these Agents, but I won't report them to the World Government either."

"Heh, then I must thank you for your mercy on behalf of those Agents."

"Even if I wanted to kill them, it would be quite difficult, wouldn't it!"

Aokiji said this very nonchalantly and looked up at Uchiha Feiyu:

"With you, the Blood Demon, protecting them, I don't have that much confidence."

"If it's not for these Agents, then what business do you have with me? I'm not a Pirate; are you Marine Admirals all this idle?"

Aokiji recalled for a moment and felt that Marine Admirals were indeed quite idle—as a deterrent force, Marine Admirals are matched against the Four Emperors of the New World, yet battles between an Admiral and a Four Emperor often don't happen even once or twice in several years.

As for whether to pursue other ordinary Pirates, that depends on the Admiral's own interest. If they are in the mood, they go out to sea to catch a few Pirates; if they aren't, they hide in their offices every day drinking tea and reading newspapers, and no one says anything.

After all, while an Admiral's strength is certainly overwhelming when they take action, their efficiency is definitely not as good as that of so many Marine bases. Furthermore, even with overwhelming strength, it is not impossible for someone to escape an Admiral's pursuit by relying on various conditions.

Strange Devil Fruits, all kinds of unexpected high-tech ships, or simply jumping directly into the sea... Marine Admirals are not omnipotent. The cost-effectiveness of pursuing targets on the sea is simply too low; it is more meaningful to guard Marine Headquarters or Mary Geoise.

Thinking to this point, Aokiji also felt a bit ashamed; it seems that eighty percent of the hard and tiring work in the Marines is contracted by that guy Akainu... Oh, I originally uphold lazy justice anyway, so that's fine.

Of course, he certainly couldn't say this to Uchiha Feiyu, and Aokiji had indeed come to find Uchiha Feiyu. Although he had also sensed those fleeing Agents with his Observation Haki, he had just turned a blind eye and hadn't intended to find them, until he saw Uchiha Feiyu, which prompted a whim to specifically come here and wait.
