Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

"This can't continue like this! We must find a way to force people out!"

Lu Qi summoned his companions and asked Big Bear to go to the warship to meet with Kizaru and Stoloberg.

It's hard to say who has the higher status between CP9 and the Lieutenant General, but Kizaru is the overall person in charge of this mission.

Lucci participated in the action on behalf of the World Government, and his voice was at the same level as Stoloberg, or even slightly higher.

Kizaru is sitting here trimming his nails to give face to the World Government.

Daxiong is trying to maintain his character, but he also has other ideas.

Stoloberg didn't like him any more. When Kizaru didn't say anything, he asked, "Then what are your plans?"

Navy soldiers and CP agents can barely be considered colleagues, but they belong to different systems.

Most of the time they work together, but there are times when they disagree.

Many navies actually don't like agents.

CP9 is the most revered among them, but also the least popular.

Awe is because they are very strong on average and can complete tasks very efficiently.

They are disliked because they do whatever it takes to get the job done.

The leader among them is Rob Lucci, who is known as the "strongest genius in 800 years" in CP9.

When he was 13 years old, this guy personally killed 500 hostages to complete his mission and pursued dark justice.

Now that he is twenty years old, no one knows how strong and ruthless he is.

Lu Qi doesn't care what others think of him, he just wants to complete the mission: "Let's return!"

"What?" Stoloberg didn't expect him to say this. "You want to give up the mission?"

"Of course not, this is just an action taken to lure the enemy to show up." Lu Qi said confidently,

"The opponent's target is Dr. Vegapunk, but since they adopted such a strategy, it must be because they lack combat power and are not sure of defeating us."

"They are sure that our target is Egghead, so they won't rush to take action until we arrive. Maybe they have already set up an ambush nearby."

"But if we return suddenly, it will definitely disrupt their plans and make them eager to take action. This will create loopholes!"

"What if they don't show up?" Stoloberg asked.

Lu Qi said: "Then really withdraw."

Stoloberg said: "Dr. Vegapunk will not agree, and this kind of thing needs to be reported to the Marshal and the Five Old Stars."

Lu Qi denied: "No, the phone bug may be monitored."

Stoloberg said: "If we have to retreat without even seeing the enemy's face, why not build the laboratory in Mariegioa."

Lu Qi didn't want to quarrel, but said calmly: "Well, if the other party doesn't show up within a day, we will contact the Navy Headquarters and request fleet escort."

"Now that the whereabouts have been exposed, there is no need to keep a low profile. It is better to add more troops to ensure safety."

"Do you think troop movement is child's play?" Stoloberg was very dissatisfied with Lu Qi's making troop movement so easy.

The Navy has been very busy recently, and its funding has also been reduced. If there is such an increase in unplanned troop mobilization, the burden on the headquarters will be even heavier.

"This is to complete the mission without fail." Lu Qi said firmly, "If we continue to advance and are ambushed, causing the mission to fail, who will bear the responsibility?"

"..." Stoloberg looked at Kizaru, "General?"

Kizaru blew on his fingernails and said lazily: "If there is no other way, just do what Lu Qi said. I also want to have a peaceful sleep~"

Kizaru just wants to complete the mission in a down-to-earth manner. He is a 'social animal' and just needs to do his own thing well. Leave the cost of the mission to the marshal.

"...Yes." The immediate superior gave the order, and Stoloberg had no choice but to carry it out.

After everyone chatted about the details of the preparations, the warships and World Government ships really began to return.

Vegapunk protested, saying he didn't want to waste time, but the protest was ineffective.

What he has within the world government is limited respect, and he cannot participate in decision-making.

…

"Returning?" Zhang Da was indeed caught off guard by the sudden news.

When did the Navy and the World Government become so cowardly that they would just retreat after just harassing them?

Shouldn’t they have the mentality of ‘I am the best in the world’?

Jackie Chan said: "Maybe it's because Vegapunk is so important that they are cautious."

Ye Yan said: "It may also be a strategy specifically used to lure us into action."

Although many people I met in the past didn't use their brains very much, people with brains could still meet a few occasionally.

Rui Mengmeng asked: "What should we do? If we attack directly, will we be fooled by them?"

Zhang Da also frowned.

Uncle Yixiao said: "The prerequisite for being fooled is that they are really capable of catching us."

"I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but Tatsuya, in order to make a thorough plan, sometimes is not decisive enough."

"I know that you are thinking about the safety of your companions, but there is no foolproof plan in the world. We have already prepared enough in advance. All we need to do next is to take action!"

Zhang Da also smiled bitterly. He was really afraid of Kizaru's ability and was a little too cautious.

At this time, you should be more decisive. If you miss this opportunity and try to find Vegapunk again, you don't know how much effort it will take.

He nodded: "Okay, then let's catch up and act as planned."

…

"I'm so sleepy, ha~ah~"

"Hey, if you fall asleep on the observation deck, you will be severely punished."

Two naval lookouts were standing guard at the lookout point on the mast, and one of them was yawning profusely.

"Of course I know that kind of thing, but I didn't sleep well last night, haha~"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawned again and cursed, "Damn pirates! Damn ghost ship!"

"Ha~ah~" The companion couldn't help but hit one too and complained, "Damn it, I've been infected by you too!"

"It's obvious that you were sleepy. How can you... blame me for this kind of thing..." The soldier felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and finally fell asleep.

"Hey...I told you not to sleep..."

Snap, his companion also closed his eyes and fell down on the observation deck.

Similar scenes were played out all over the warship. The soldiers fell asleep one by one and fell asleep one after another.

Stoloberg thought the soldiers were too tired at first and yelled at them, but he found that they couldn't wake them up.

Even he himself felt sleepy: "Is this... sleeping gas?"

Stoloberg quickly held his breath, the enemy was really coming!

Rob Lucci's plan to lure the enemy was successful!

But he looked around and looked at the swaying soldiers, and felt that the situation seemed not good.

Things aren't much better aboard the World Government's ships.

Lu Qi looked at the ordinary agents lying on the ground with a sad look on his face:

How could hypnotic gas have such a strong effect in such an open environment?
