Spadam was not only cowardly, but also a vindictive person. Moreover, Spadam was worried that Tom had already given the blueprints for "Pluto" to Wood, so now he was not going to let anyone get away with it!

"Storm Kick - Kamaitachi!"

Surrounded by the navy, Wood raised his foot and unleashed a powerful slash with the force of tearing through the air, aiming directly at Spandam.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

At the same moment Wood suddenly attacked, all the navy personnel around him who had raised their guns fired at him.

Unfortunately, in the world of One Piece, muskets and cannons are practically a joke in the face of true powerhouses.

Despite being in a small indoor space, Wood was being pointed at by dozens of flintlock pistols, yet he remained completely unharmed amidst the hail of bullets.

He picked up the Heavenly Dew and Morning Dew that were originally on the ground, and with a single stroke, he easily cut a huge gash in the ceiling. Then, he hugged Robin, who was still in a state of panic, and disappeared from the spot using Moonwalk.

After a cloud of smoke cleared, all that remained were bullet holes and rubble that had fallen from the ceiling. Wood and Robin had long since vanished.

The two CP9 members beside Spandam were also in a rather disheveled state; they had been able to hold off Wood just now.

However, the storm kick that Wood unleashed shot directly towards Spandam. Given Spandam's weak fighting ability, being hit by this storm kick would almost certainly mean certain death.

So, out of desperation, the two CP9 members had no choice but to physically reach Spandam and use "Iron Body".

Unfortunately, even by the standards of "Tao Power," which is used within the CP organization to measure the level of "Six Styles," Wood's Tao Power far surpasses theirs.

Although Wood's Tempest Kick wasn't serious at all, and could even be described as a quick move made in desperation, the difference in their skill levels was too great, and these two CP9 members simply couldn't withstand it.

The crescent-shaped slash, imbued with wind blades, easily tore through their black suits and caused their "iron blocks" to shatter.

The powerful impact sent the two of them flying, their feet carving four deep furrows in the ground.

Fortunately, the opponent wasn't serious about the Tempest Kick; it was just a casual use to escape. So, just before the Tempest Kick was about to cut into the bone, the "Iron Block" managed to withstand it.

However, the two CP9 members themselves were not seriously injured, but Spandam, who was being protected by them, was in a terrible state.

These two CP9 members were previously sent flying by Wood's Tempest Kick, while Spandam was right behind them, so his body was naturally pushed back as well.

Although the two CP9 members managed to stop their bodies, Spandam behind them was forced into the wall by the impact, leaving a human-shaped groove in the wall.

Because the two CP9s used "iron blocks," their bodies become as hard as iron, so Spandam was no different from being hit directly by two large iron blocks.

As everyone knows, Spandam's power is even less than that of an ordinary soldier, so this collision knocked out several of his teeth, and now he even has a lisp when he speaks.

"What a mess! We've got so many of us, and that guy still managed to get away!"

Spandam was very unhappy. He had brought a large group of men today to establish his authority and show off, hoping to eventually become the highest-ranking officer on Enies Lobby.

However, they never expected that such a large group of them would be so thoroughly humiliated by a mere pirate. How is Spandam supposed to face the world now?

"Sir, you should be glad that the other side didn't try to kill you just now, but only thought about running away, probably because they were thinking about Lieutenant General Garp outside."

Otherwise, with just the two of us, the enemy would be perfectly capable of killing us all before Vice Admiral Garp could even charge in!

The two CP9 members around Spandam also knew that Wood was very strong and felt that they were no match for him.

But they never expected that the gap between them would be so large, otherwise they wouldn't have let Spandam come in so easily.

Previously, they thought that even if the two of them together were no match for Wood, they would at least be able to put up some resistance.

However, the painful reality they had just witnessed told them that even though they had mastered the "Six Styles" and were known as superhumans, they were basically no stronger than ordinary people in front of their opponent.

Chapter 162 Old Tom, with a Suicidal Mind

"Damn it! Take everyone else and their pirate ships back with us. Without a ship, let's see how that guy leaves this island!"

Upon hearing what CP9 said, Spandam looked terrified and decided that he should try to stay with Garp or Momousagi as much as possible in the future.

What the hell? Two elite intelligence agents from the World Government combined couldn't even withstand a casual blow from the other side.

He had previously heard that Momousagi had been defeated by Wood, and thought that the famous rear admiral in the Navy was all talk and no action.

Looking at it now, it's not that Momousagi wasn't strong enough; it's just that her opponent was too abnormal.

Two superhumans who mastered the "Six Powers" couldn't even withstand a casual blow from their opponent. In other words, Momousagi, who was once evenly matched with Wood but ultimately lost, is naturally far stronger than CP9.

"Hahahaha, Spandam, you little brat, did you get beaten up?"

He seemed perfectly normal when he went in, but now he's speaking with a lisp.

Others might have considered Spandam's status, but Garp, upon seeing Spandam's miserable state, simply burst into mocking laughter.

Just kidding. With Garp's current status and achievements in the Navy, as long as he doesn't directly confront the World Government or kill a Celestial Dragon, basically no one can do anything about any mistakes he makes.

It's not without reason that Fleet Admiral Sengoku was completely helpless against this stubborn guy. Spandam was just a second-generation ninja, and even with the World Government's backing, Garp didn't need to give him any face at all.

As it turns out, Spandam, who would have turned on others in the face of ridicule, could only smile in acquiescence when facing Garp, the naval hero.

"Mr. Karp, didn't you see anyone rushing out from inside when you were outside?"

It's not surprising that CP9 was no match for Wood. What Spandam couldn't understand was why even the naval hero Garp couldn't stop that damned guy.

"I saw it, but I didn't stop them," Garp said with an indifferent expression, but his tone made Spandam so angry that he almost jumped up and down.

"Why! Is it just because that person was a former colleague of yours in the navy?"

Vice Admiral Garp, I hope you don't forget why you came here. If your momentary recklessness leads to the mission's ultimate failure, I don't think the World Government will be happy.

Spandam had no choice but to invoke the World Government's authority and warn Garp not to act rashly.

"Don't try to scare me with the World Government. Even if your father were in front of me, I would still beat him up without hesitation."

When you went in to catch the person, you said that I would steal your thunder and told me to just wait outside with my men. Now that the person has escaped from your sight, you turn around and blame me.

Besides, I'm quite old, and it's getting late. It's normal for my eyesight to be failing. Who could have seen that the person we just saw was the traitor our navy was looking for?

Wood just used "Moonwalk" to escape. Anyone with a brain knows who the pirate inside who can use the Six Powers is.

However, Garp is now insisting that he is old and his eyesight is failing, and Spandam has no way to deal with him.

Moreover, considering the strength Wood had demonstrated, and the fact that Garp would have to stabilize the situation later, he ultimately compromised first.

Anyway, Tom's studio has captured everyone. As for arresting the Navy traitor Wood, that's a mission given to the Navy by the World Government. What does it have to do with Spandam?

Tom's crew, along with Garrus and the other unlucky guys, were eventually captured by Spadam and taken back to Enies Lobby.

In the Enies Lobby prison, Tom also saw Franky, who had been tortured beyond recognition.

From Franky, Tom also learned what the so-called attack on the judicial ship was all about.

Unfortunately, the ship that attacked the ships at Enies Lobby was indeed the "Frankie Battleship" built by Franky. Although they were framed, once they entered Enies Lobby, Spandam basically had the final say on what crimes to pin on them.

Tom could disregard his own life and death, but he didn't want to implicate his two disciples and Granny Kokoro, so in the end he took the blame alone.

"It's no use trying to take all the blame. As long as I insist that Tom is the mastermind and the others in your studio are accomplices, none of you will escape."

"I'm giving you one last chance. If you hand over the blueprints for 'Hades,' I might just take pity on you and let you go."

If Tom were to produce the blueprints for "Pluto," would Spandam choose to spare the lives of Tom's studio?

Of course not! Just kidding. The World Government doesn't even plan to reveal information about 'Pluto' to the Navy, so how could they possibly let Tom's Studio, who know the details, leave?

If Spandam hadn't failed to find the blueprints for "Pluto" on Tom and his crew when they entered Enies Lobby, he would have finished them off long ago.

Tom wasn't stupid either; he knew that they were only alive because the other side hadn't found the blueprints for "Pluto."

This is their only lifeline right now; if they really hand it over, they'll probably die here.

“I can tell you where the blueprints for ‘Hades’ are, but you need to get the others out of here first.”

Otherwise, even if you kill us all, I won't tell you where the blueprints are.

"We all know how the World Government operates. If I hand over the blueprints here, I'm afraid none of us will even make it out of Enies Lobby."

“I can stay here on Enies Lobby, but my disciple and the others must leave.”

Then you can choose to have me tell you the location of the design drawings directly, or have my disciple bring the design drawings back to rescue me.

Now that some of them are stuck on Judiciary Island, Tom can only use his only bargaining chip to negotiate with Spandam.

At first, Spandam was naturally unwilling to let Franky and Iceberg leave, but Tom's attitude of "it's all or nothing" eventually forced Spandam to relent.

Killing Tom's crew was meaningless to Spandam; his only goal was the blueprints for "Pluto," as only that could please the bigwigs of the World Government and secure his own promotion.

As for Tom and Franky, they were just fishmen and lowly commoners. If it weren't for the fact that they had something they wanted, Spadam wouldn't even give them a second glance if they were walking down the street.

"If you don't come back after leaving Enies Lobby, I'll kill this old man and then issue arrest warrants to hunt you down!"

Chapter 163 Wood: Let's take down Enies Lobby!

After a full day of deadlock, Spandam finally agreed to Tom's deal.

The reason is simple: no matter how Spandam threatened him, Tom remained completely unmoved.

As long as Tom, the insider, is in my hands, the blueprints for "Pluto" will not escape, and everyone else is just a small fry.

So after some hesitation, Spandam released them, and after Franky and the others left, he didn't forget to threaten them with the consequences of going back on their word.

In fact, Tom had told Iceberg and the others where the "Pluto" design blueprints were hidden.

Obviously not. Tom instructed Iceberg to find Wood and his crew as soon as possible after leaving Enies Lobby, and then leave Water Seven with Wood's pirate crew.

Tom stayed on the condition that Spandam release the rest of Tom's workshop and also Ruth and the others.

Spandam had even released Tom's disciple, so he naturally paid even less attention to Ruth and the other passersby.
