Wood's strength far exceeded expectations, and his three subordinates were instantly killed. The CP0 commander felt as if his face had been slapped.
In order to save face in front of Garp, the CP0 commander had no choice but to stand up from his seat and prepare to take Wood down himself.
The CP0 commander was convinced that there was something fishy about the slash just now, and that Wood could not possibly use such a powerful move repeatedly.
Otherwise, the enemy wouldn't need to run away at all; even though they outnumbered each other, they would still be able to put up a fight.
And the facts proved that the CP0 commander's idea was correct. That slash just now, the power of the 'Heart of God' directly drained a large amount of his life force, which is why the slash had such terrifying power.
Wood is now so weak that he can't even muster the strength to fire another shot, let alone fight the CP0 commander.
The depletion of his life force caused Wood's body to enter a brief period of lethargy. At this moment, Wood felt extremely tired, both mentally and physically.
Forcibly dispelling the fatigue in his body and mind, Wood turned around again after delivering the blow and used "Moonwalk" to begin a rapid escape.
The silver-white runes on his chest shone brightly. Although the light was not as dazzling as before, it made Wood's "Moonwalk" speed even more astonishing. In just a few breaths, he had once again darted several kilometers away.
The CP0 commander, who had gotten up to use "Moonwalk" to catch up, froze on the spot when he saw what was happening before him.
Given the distance of several kilometers, and considering Wood's previous Moonwalk speed, there was a good chance he could catch up with his opponent.
But at this distance, even if he used "Moonwalk" at full speed, he simply couldn't catch up with Wood.
"Brother, aren't you going to pursue them? I was originally looking forward to seeing just how strong the head of the world government's most powerful intelligence agency really is."
It seems now that I'm out of luck...
The CP0 commander, whose face was already alternating between pale and red, became even more furious after hearing Garp's sarcastic remarks.
Unable to do anything to Garp, he could only vent his anger elsewhere, ordering an increase in firepower to sink Enies Lobby as quickly as possible!
Wood, amplifying the power of "Moonwalk" with the power of the "Heart of God," could create sonic booms with every step he took in the air, and his speed was so fast that he was like a blur.
But just as he had run hundreds of nautical miles and realized that he was being pursued, in a moment of relaxation, his body fell from the sky to the sea like a kite with a broken string...
As for Enies Lobby, the twenty-seven warships waited patiently until the island was completely flattened.
But apart from Wood, who left earlier, and Gion, who later led hundreds of people away, no one else was seen attempting to leave Enies Lobby.
This means that before Wood left, Fisher Tiger, a major criminal of the World Government, and his group of fish-men had likely already left Enies Lobby.
The CP0 commander was naturally very dissatisfied with this result. After all, they had mobilized so many people, but they had not obtained either Fisher Tiger or the blueprints for Hades. In fact, they had even lost three warships. How was he going to explain this to the CP0 commander?
Chapter 190 Momousagi, the fourth designated general?
As the commanders of this operation, they failed to capture the fish-men, obtain the blueprints for Pluton, and even let the naval traitor Wood escape right under their noses.
As for their side, they not only blew up Enies Lobby, the island belonging to the World Government, but also destroyed three of their warships.
Even the CP0 commander wouldn't know how to report such a battle situation to the top echelons of the World Government.
Not only did he fail to achieve anything, but he also caused such great losses to our side. As the commander-in-chief, he cannot escape blame. It is not impossible that he would be sent back to farming.
Things went wrong, and the CP0 commander naturally wanted to find someone to take the blame, but Garp and Momousagi on the Navy's side were clearly not easy to fool.
Besides, the World Government had previously ordered the Navy to do just that, they were tasked with arresting the troublesome Navy traitor, Wood.
Fisher Tiger's involvement with the Hades blueprints has little to do with them, and it would be completely inappropriate for them to try to shift the blame.
"Sir, I believe that neither the Navy nor the CP organization should bear the main responsibility this time."
The mission failed miserably entirely because of Spandam, the highest-ranking officer on Enies Lobby.
The CP0 commander, who had been looking distressed and was thinking that he would probably have to retire as soon as he got back after this mission failed, suddenly brightened up when he heard what Gion said next to him.
"Major General Momousagi, please continue to explain in detail why you say the main responsibility lies with Spandam this time."
If they could avoid taking the blame, who would be foolish enough to go and die? Besides, the CP0 commander holds a high position; apart from the Celestial Dragons and the Five Elders, he is among the highest-ranking people. Naturally, he is unwilling to give up his current status.
"The Navy Headquarters is well aware of the strength of the Navy traitor Wood, so they specially dispatched Vice Admiral Garp and me to assist him this time."
Things were going very smoothly, but unfortunately, Commander Spandam refused to disclose any information about the plan to our navy and insisted on acting on his own.
It was also due to Commander Spandam's flawed decisions that the "Sun Pirates" emerged, coupled with Enies Lobby's own lack of fighting strength, that this tragedy occurred.
"As for the escape of the naval traitor Wood and Fisher Tiger, it was not due to the fault of the World Government's reinforcements."
It was Spandam's ambition that delayed his call for help, causing it to be too late by the time the CP0 officers arrived.
Not only Spandam, but also those who sought help from the Marine Headquarters through internal connections within the World Government bear significant responsibility this time.
"If the other side hadn't insisted on concealing relevant information, and if Fleet Admiral Sengoku had known the seriousness of the matter, he certainly wouldn't have just ordered Vice Admiral Garp and me to come."
After hearing Gion's words, the CP0 commander's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He then adopted a friendly attitude and said, "I have long heard that Rear Admiral Momousagi of the Marine Headquarters, although she is a woman, is more outstanding than many men. Now it seems that the rumors were indeed true."
Rear Admiral Momousagi not only possesses remarkable strength, but also exceptional insight and wisdom. I believe she will soon secure a place among the Navy Admirals.
Gion's words served as a reminder to the CP0 commander: yes, the Navy can't take the blame, but Spandam from Enies Lobby can.
Of course, Spandam, a minor figure, was certainly not enough to make such a grave mistake.
However, Gion also reminded him that if Spandam wasn't enough, there were still people from the World Government behind him, like Spandam's father, Spandam.
This is why Gion and Wood spared Spandam's life; it wouldn't make sense to blame a dead man, especially since he had died in the line of duty.
The benefit of doing so was that it eliminated the last trace of impact on the Navy, and Gion also gained the gratitude of the CP0 commander.
Didn't you hear what they said? Gion will definitely have a place among the future Admirals.
The three positions for Admiral have already been decided by the three most favored candidates: Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji.
However, the CP0 commander is a prominent figure in the World Government, and with some internal maneuvering, it's not impossible for the Marine Headquarters to produce a fourth admiral.
Gion helped CP0 resolve the aftermath of their mission failure, and the CP0 commander naturally reciprocated by assisting Gion in becoming a Marine Admiral in the future.
As for Spandam, who took the blame, the poor man, still unconscious, was unaware that he had inexplicably been burdened with a huge accusation while he was in a coma.
Even if he were awake, he wouldn't have a chance to speak here, since most of what Gion said was true.
"Gion girl, you're something else! Tsuru has a successor. I didn't expect you to be even more cunning than her."
When CP0 shelled Enies Lobby, I initially thought that, given your personality, you'd be seething with hatred for your CP0 superior. But surprisingly, you've taken the initiative to do him a favor.
Upon hearing Gion's conversation with the CP0 commander, Garp was initially taken aback, because while Gion was very clever, it was usually Sengoku and Tsuru who would use such methods.
"It was Wood who suggested that I do it. He said that although the people on Enies Lobby died somewhat unjustly."
However, it's impossible to hold the World Government accountable for this. Solving the problem this way would not only bring them benefits, but also allow them to apply for hefty casualty compensation for the soldiers who died in the line of duty.
As a member of the Navy, Gion was naturally dissatisfied with CP0's previous actions, but after experiencing so much, she had to admit that Wood was sometimes right, and that appropriate compromise was necessary to strive for a better solution.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm starting to wonder how that brat Wood's head is structured."
So, from seeking help from the Sun Pirates, to sparing Spandam's life, to CP0's arrival to provide support, was everything part of his plan?
"It's one thing to have considerable strength and talent, but to top it all off is that he's also incredibly smart. Where did Zefa find such a monster?"
I've heard that Wood was just an ordinary lumberjack on their island. Could an ordinary boy have such talent and intelligence? Could his parents be some important figures?
Garp secretly kept Roger's son, and now he's suspicious that Wood's identity might not be as simple as he thought.
After all, the theory of bloodline is still quite scientific in many places, and the bloodline of the strong is generally not bad.
Garp had seen Wood's identity information; he was born on Red Leaf Island in the first half of the Grand Line, but his parents' information was blank because he was an orphan.
If Wood were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be a big deal, but since Wood, who possesses such talent, is an orphan, the identities of his parents become quite intriguing.
Chapter 191 The Bounty Notice Updated by Everyone!
The Enies Lobby incident has come to an end, and the report submitted by CP0 to the World Government, after some negotiations with the Navy, has changed to shelling Enies Lobby, resulting in numerous Fish-Men casualties, the fate of important criminals Fisher Tiger and Tom unknown, and Navy traitor Wood seriously injured and escaping.
The phrase "life or death unknown" used here is quite evocative.
The CP0 commander dared not say that Fisher Tiger and others had died in the shelling, since he knew better than anyone whether they were dead or not.
However, if such a report is made, and the World Government learns that they used a large number of shells, even leveling Enies Lobby, yet failed to kill a single Fishman, the consequences would be severe.
It's easier to say if their fate is unknown; this demonstrates that they have achieved something, but it doesn't completely rule out the possibility of a definitive answer.
Otherwise, if Tiger and Tom reappear on the high seas in the future, how will they explain it to the World Government?
As for the countless casualties among ordinary fishmen, needless to say, apart from a few important fishmen like Fisher Tiger, the World Government doesn't care about the other fishmen at all.
However, even after submitting this polished report, the World Government was still extremely furious.
Fortunately, Spandam and his father were able to take the blame in the end, so CP0 was spared this time.
After Spandam woke up, he naturally launched into a fierce defense, but unfortunately, they had the navy as witnesses.
Furthermore, Spandam's delay report was undeniable, so Spandam was in trouble, and even dragged his father, Spandam, into the mess.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Sun Pirates took the people from Tom's Studio and Russ and his crew to a deserted island.
Tiger discovered that Wood's Life Paper was burning fiercely. Ignoring Jinbe and the others' attempts to stop him, he used the Life Paper's guidance to find Wood, who had been soaking in the sea for several hours.
Fortunately, Wood was not a superhuman, and due to his strong vitality, he survived even when he was exhausted and floating on the sea.
People in the world of One Piece generally have strong vitality and recovery ability. After only a few days of recuperation on the deserted island, Wood and everyone, including Tom, were fully recovered.
Upon regaining his past self, Tom's first action was to kowtow and express his gratitude to everyone.
He truly hadn't expected that Wood and Tiger would risk attacking Enies Lobby for his sake, despite their relatively distant relationship, and thus offend the World Government.
Since they had risked their lives to save him, Tom felt it would be unfair to his benefactors to continue hiding the truth.
