"Since the other party is such a dangerous guy, why don't we take this opportunity to capture him..."
Spadam's idea was simple: since the plan to directly attack the sea train had failed, he had to choose other methods.
Judging from the previous relationship between Wood and Tom, the two should be good friends. So, as long as Wood is captured and taken to Enies Lobby, it will be possible to threaten Tom into handing over what he wants.
Upon hearing what Spadam said, the two CP9 members sent by Spadam to assist him were speechless.
They felt that their superior either hadn't understood what they had just said, or was simply not very bright.
CP9 is actually considered an elite organization among all the CP organizations of all world governments.
Because those who can enter CP9 are all superhumans who have mastered all six "Six Powers," and in terms of combat power, they are second to none among the World Government's intelligence agencies.
Even superhumans like them wouldn't dare say they could reliably defeat a rear admiral from headquarters in terms of combat strength.
Moreover, Momousagi is not an ordinary rear admiral, but a genius naval officer whom the Navy is grooming to become a future admiral.
They had no confidence even against a Marine Rear Admiral like Momousagi, let alone Wood, who was capable of defeating Gion.
Send them to Enies Lobby? How are they supposed to catch him? Are they supposed to capture him with their heads?
"Useless! You're all useless. A former naval lieutenant commander and a mere rookie pirate with a bounty of over 100 million berries have scared the crap out of you."
"With this level of skill, you guys told me before that you were superhumans who transcended the realm of mortals, the elite of the CP organization!"
Upon hearing the statements from the two CP9 members, Spadam spat in their faces, but although they were also very unhappy, they were helpless against Spadam's taunts.
Although he's a complete weakling, a superior is a superior. In the World Government, disobeying a superior has serious consequences.
Spadam, who had been cursing for a long time, was unwilling to let Tom and Wood, who had ruined his plans, off so easily. So he quickly took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed the number.
That's right, although Spadam's own strength isn't that great, his backing is strong enough.
The task assigned to him by his superiors is not yet completed. If he were to seek help from the World Government, it would make him appear quite incompetent. Therefore, the person Spadam is now seeking help from is his father, who has recently been promoted.
"Bru bru bru bru—!"
In Sengoku's office at Naval Headquarters, a small Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.
But upon seeing the Den Den Mushi making a sound, Sengoku's expression subtly furrowed.
If he could, Sengoku would never want to see that Den Den Mushi ring again in his entire life.
Because this Den Den Mushi is the exclusive Den Den Mushi used by the World Government to contact him, every time it rings, it's usually not a good thing.
They either assign the navy troublesome and arduous tasks, or the Five Elders summon him to get a beating.
However unwilling he was, as the Fleet Admiral and a lackey of the World Government, Sengoku ultimately had no choice but to answer the Den Den Mushi...
A few minutes later, Sengoku, who had just put down the Den Den Mushi, felt a heavy weight in his heart and ordered the naval soldiers on guard to summon Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Gion for a meeting.
Vice Admiral Tsuru is stationed at headquarters year-round, and Garp, who has been finding various ways to slack off, is also currently at headquarters. Gion was about to go on duty, but was quickly summoned back by the Navy.
Needless to say, the Den Den Mushi that just called from the World Government was about something related to Wood.
It must be said that although Spadam was a bit weak, he still had a lot of influence, and his father Spadam seemed to think highly of his son. Shortly after receiving Spadam's request for help, he immediately contacted the Navy Headquarters through his connections.
Sengoku had just received his mission and was ordered to immediately dispatch the navy's elite forces to Enies Lobby to assist Spadam in completing his secret mission.
As for what the so-called secret mission was, the World Government did not specify, only stating that the traitor from their navy had seriously affected the progress of their plans.
Since the person defected from their own navy, they should naturally solve the problem themselves, and, if conditions permit, assist the commander of Enies Lobby, Spadam, in completing the classified mission.
Upon receiving this mission, Sengoku's first reaction was extreme annoyance. They were the Navy, their duty was to arrest pirates causing trouble at sea; when did they become expected to meddle in matters like Enies Lobby?
Moreover, it's a complete sham mission; they didn't reveal a single piece of information to the navy. How are they supposed to assist them?
"Tell me your thoughts? I already regret sending that kid Wood to be an undercover agent."
Before, when I saw him at the Marine Headquarters, he seemed quite reserved and low-key. Who knew that after becoming a pirate, he would completely let loose!
I haven't even settled the score with him for killing a naval branch captain without authorization a while ago, and now he's causing trouble on Water Seven again.
Even more outrageous is that he seems to have offended the new commander of Enies Lobby, obstructing some plan of his, and now the World Government has just come to demand an explanation!
The Sengoku Association previously chose Wood to be a pirate spy because he was a cowardly character in the headquarters, knew how to hide his strength, and was smart enough.
But Sengoku never expected that since Wood became a pirate, he would cause even more trouble than those troublemakers in the New World.
First, they released a hundred prisoners from Impel Down against plan, then they attacked the Navy branch in the West Blue, and now they're at odds with the new commander of Enies Lobby.
Undeniably, given Wood's current actions, probably no one doubts that he is a fake naval defector. However, this guy keeps making headlines every few days, and even Fleet Admiral Sengoku is about to be overwhelmed!
The World Government's message was clear: to prevent Wood from learning anything he shouldn't know, in addition to assisting Spaddam in completing his mission, this naval traitor Wood must also be killed!
Chapter 155 Does the Marine Headquarters also want Pluton?
"Hahahaha, it seems that kid Wood is born to be a pirate, rather than a navy officer."
Or perhaps he was quite clever, knowing that the Marine Headquarters was a corrupt and unpleasant place, so he chose to stay there. As a Marine, one must learn to keep a low profile to avoid being betrayed and killed sooner or later.
Being a pirate is different. On the vast ocean, if you don't choose to be flamboyant, when will you ever get ahead? Pirates don't buy into flattery or sucking up to their superiors.
Garp, as always, showed no concern for what Sengoku said, and even quite admired Wood's actions.
In fact, if it weren't for his immense fame on the high seas, which meant he was practically already loyal to the Navy and there was no possibility of him betraying them, Garp would actually be considering applying to become a pirate spy.
As long as they are naval personnel with a sense of justice, they will occasionally encounter things they find objectionable, but because of their naval identity, they are often constrained.
But Wood is different now. His true identity is still that of a Marine, but the identity he currently uses as a disguise is that of a pirate.
Pirates can do whatever they want, because they live for themselves.
Even if Wood does things that the Navy forbids, he can easily use the excuse of needing to disguise his identity. As long as Sengoku is certain that Wood has not really betrayed them, he will have to willingly clean up their messes. This kind of treatment is simply too good to be true.
Although what Garp said was true, Sengoku was still unhappy that the old man had so bluntly pointed out the shortcomings of the Navy, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face to him as the Fleet Admiral.
To avoid getting infuriated by Garp, Sengoku could only selectively ignore the old man and turn his attention to Vice Admiral Tsuru next to Garp.
"I just contacted Wood using an encrypted Den Den Mushi, although the World Government did not reveal to our Navy Headquarters what the so-called classified mission was."
But according to Wood, the World Government is most likely after the blueprints for the ancient weapon "Pluton," which was created on Water Seven hundreds of years ago!
At the level of Sengoku and Garp, they naturally had heard of the legendary ancient weapon "Pluto," which was said to be able to sink an entire island with a single shot.
However, they never expected that the ancient weapons actually existed, and that their design blueprints were even located on the island of Mizu no Nanashi.
Sengoku was naturally very satisfied that Wood was able to obtain such important intelligence in such a short time.
If Wood just keeps causing trouble for him but doesn't show any value, then Sengoku should consider making this pirate supernova disappear for a while.
"According to Wood's report, the blueprints for 'Pluto' are not only on Water Seven, but also on someone at Tom's Studio."
That's why the officer on Enies Lobby chose to frame the people at Tom's Studio.
Tom's Studio only has five people: two teenagers and the frog. The only possibility for the design drawings is that they are on the fishman Tom and the mermaid Kokoro.
However, it's more likely to be Fishman Tom, after all, he's the world's most renowned shipwright.
As the second strategist of the headquarters, Lieutenant General Tsuru only glanced at the intelligence before he had roughly guessed the cause and effect of the matter and deduced that the blueprints should be in Tom's hands.
Sengoku nodded in agreement with Tsuru's analysis, then turned to look at Gion.
Normally, Gion wouldn't be qualified to attend a meeting of this caliber, but because of his deep understanding of Wood, and because Gion is one of the few resourceful young admirals in the new generation of naval commanders, Sengoku made an exception and allowed him to participate.
"That CP9 commander named Spadam is a real bastard. In order to achieve his goal, he actually plans to sacrifice so many innocent residents of Water City to frame someone else."
Enies Lobby is a place where criminals are tried, and yet this guy is appointed as its highest-ranking official. What was the World Government thinking?
Hearing Gion's rather indignant words, Sengoku chose to ignore her opinion and directly discussed it with Vice Admiral Tsuru.
Gion is excellent, but she is still too young. Not to mention that the World Government doesn't know what kind of person Spartam is, even if they knew what Spartam has done, they wouldn't care about it at all.
If the World Government deems it necessary to do something, it will carry out the "Buster Call" to destroy an island without hesitation, and would it care about the lives of a hundred or so innocent people?
Didn't you see that even Garp, a naval hero, was unsurprised by this?
Gion's anger stems from her youth and lack of understanding of the true World Government.
There were four people in the meeting, but the discussion only focused on Sengoku and Tsuru. As for Garp and Gion, one always liked to act crazy and the other was too young and had no scheming or cunning.
Soon, the results of the discussion came out.
The Marine Headquarters could not refuse the World Government's mission, so it had to comply with their request and send a sufficiently powerful navy to arrest Wood.
Of course, their navy was only dispatching powerful naval forces to hunt down the traitor Wood, as requested by the World Government, but whether they could successfully capture him was another matter entirely.
After all, the CP organization's intelligence should also know that Wood's strength is not as simple as he appears, otherwise they wouldn't have asked the Navy for help.
As for the so-called "classified mission," the World Government doesn't want to reveal anything to them, so they can only do their best to cooperate. Even if it fails, they won't be held responsible.
To put it simply, Wood is definitely going to be captured, even if it's just for show for others.
However, Sengoku said he couldn't guarantee whether he could catch them, since the other side was no pushover either.
As for the design blueprints of the ancient weapon "Pluto", Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru's idea was to steal them if they could, and even if they couldn't get their hands on them, they couldn't let the World Government get their hands on them.
To be honest, the World Government is already powerful enough. The Navy is already at their mercy. If they were to get their hands on the blueprints for "Pluton," wouldn't the Celestial Dragons become even more arrogant?
Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru, as members of the orthodox navy, while hoping for the navy to become stronger, did not want the world government to become stronger.
The World Government is essentially the Celestial Dragons' lackeys, and these people at the pinnacle of power are all scum. If they were to gain even greater power, the world would be doomed.
The Ancient Weapon "Pluton" is a powerful force. If we could master it, who knows, one day it might be able to free the Navy from the control of the World Government.
As for whether the World Government would suspect their navy, Sengoku was not worried at all.
