"Ho-ho-ho, are you leaving?"
Laffitte is still the same as before. After being recalled by Ross, he smiled and pinched the edge of his hat and nodded slightly.
For him, the seven months on the Sky island can be said to be very boring, and the Devil Fruit that Ross wanted him to search for was not seen at all.
Naturally.
The main purpose of coming to the Sky island is to avoid the extremely dangerous situation that the government and Marine may create in anger, so although Laffitte is very bored, he is also reasonable.
"Seven months without sailing, your level of sailing should not have declined, right?"
Ross smiled at Laffitte.
Laffitte's strength has also improved a little in the past seven months. Even though he is still not the opponent of a Headquarters Vice-Admiral, he can still deal with a general branch Vice-Admiral for a while.
As for Robin, her current strength is probably stronger than in his memory when she set foot in the New World. Even if she is not as good as Laffitte, she is still capable of fighting against a general Rear Admiral.
"Ho-ho-ho … Captain will see it soon."
Laffitte held his cane and opened his arms slightly, showing a smile.
"Give me an order to let the Birka tribe continue to search for Devil Fruit. As long as it is found, immediately hand over the fruit to the chief for safekeeping." Ross ordered.
Birka has been governed by him and Laffitte for the past seven months, especially the chief and many priests, who have been deeply hypnotized and brainwashed by Laffitte one by one.
Even if Rumble-Rumble Fruit appears, as long as it falls into the hands of these priests and chiefs, they will immediately hide it in fear and awe, waiting for his return.
"Okay."
Laffitte made a noble etiquette and turned to go outside.
Ross thought about it again and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he walked to the edge of the island with Robin and soon came to the dock and re-boarded the Ghost Shadow Ship.
There are a few sailors on board. Ross selected three Sky islanders from Birka, one man and two women. The man is strong and his strength is second only to the chief and the priest of Birka. One of the two women is an excellent chef and the other is one of the seventeen-year-old candidates for the priest. Like an elf, Ross felt that serving the priest was too wasteful and changed her fate.
Although Robin is very capable, it is good to have someone to share the burden for her.
On board today, Ross's authority is unshakable, followed by Laffitte and Robin, both of whom belong to the cadres of the ship, and the rest of the people are of equal status.
Very soon.
Laffitte returned to the Ghost Shadow Ship after issuing Ross's order.
"Next stop, North Sea."
After Laffitte came back, Ross calmly said: "It's time for a ship doctor on board."
For a long time, Ross has been considering the candidate for the ship doctor, wandering between the future Blackbeard Pirates' poison Q and the Surgeon of Death Trafalgar Law.
Because Law was too young before, Ross has been searching for intelligence on Poison Q, but he never found it. Finally, he decided to change candidates and go to North Blue to find Trafalgar Law.
Robbie was seven years older than Luffy, so he should be around 15 years old this year. This was the age when he was about to grow out of his childhood, but he was still unable to take charge of things on his own. It was the best time to subdue him.
"The location has been confirmed. It seems like the captain has already chosen it."
Laffitte smiled.
If there was a ship doctor on the ship, they wouldn't have to worry about encountering a strong enemy and being beaten to a serious injury that couldn't be treated and eventually dying. Minor injuries and illnesses during the voyage would also be guaranteed.
Of course, more importantly, Ross has a very high vision. Those who can be selected by Ross are probably reassuring in terms of strength.
"Let's go."
After Ross nodded, he lifted his foot and stepped gently. The Ghost Shadow Ship roared and trembled, and the sea clouds below split silently to both sides, revealing a huge crack that was hundreds of meters long across the sea.
The Ghost Shadow Ship fell into the crack and eventually disappeared.
… …
A few days later.
On a ship cruising on the sea, flying the flag of the World Government, a man wearing a top hat and standing on his shoulder was holding a Den Den Mushi to connect to the other side.
He is a subordinate of the World Government and is known as the strongest member of CP9 in 800 years, Rob Lucci.
More than half a year ago, the World Government's mission of secretly assassinating and executing Ghost Hand Ross and secretly arresting Devil Child Nico Robin was given to him.
"Seven months … he finally appeared, but how could he appear in North Blue …"
Lucci listened to the intelligence reported from the other side of the Den Den Mushi and frowned slightly, showing a touch of thought.
"Did the damn Ghost Hand Pirates finally appear?!"
Spandam, standing next to him, listened to the conversation between Lucci and the Den Den Mushi on the other side, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
The mission assigned by the government will not be completed directly because of the disappearance of the Ghost Hand Pirates, but will always be hung on the head of CP9.
As the current chief of CP9, he has been delayed by a mission for more than half a year and can't get any credit. He is very annoyed with the Ghost Hand Pirates. In the past, with the work efficiency of Lucci and others, the credit can be brushed away, which is why his father specially transferred him to CP9 to serve as a chief.
As long as he stays in CP9 for ten years, it will be a matter of time before he can be promoted to a high-level position in the government and he will be able to overlook the whole sea.
"…"
Lucci hates Spandam far more than the pirates he defeated, but because he is a chief, he was trained to obey orders from an early age and he can only press down his disgust for Spandam.
He hung up the Den Den Mushi and turned to look at Spandam and said, "The Ghost Hand Pirates appeared in North Blue. I think we can go to North Blue now. What do you think?"
Spandam hesitated for a moment and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
Although he didn't want to go so far, the World Government issued a task that required him to complete it quickly and it has been delayed for half a year. Now that the Ghost Hand Pirates have appeared, if the government knows that he is doing nothing, I am afraid that the condemnation order will come down.
"Let the Marine fleet in North Blue prepare for support … No, let the branch base on the Grand Line directly send Battleship to North Blue."
Ghost Hand Ross destroyed the Marine branch elite and Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile. Spandam is still clear about this. Although he trusts the strength of Lucci and others, for him, the safer the better.
Lucci shook his head slightly and his eyes were full of boredom, but Spandam is the chief of CP9 and his decision is the decision of CP9.
Unable to vent his frustration on Spandam, Lucci's emotions quickly shifted to the object, that is, the culprit who caused them to wander around the sea for more than half a year …
