Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 418 Sengoku, who knew Akihara Kagura very well

too difficult.

It's really hard to find someone who actually gets things done.

The CP9 agents were filled with mixed emotions.

At this critical juncture when the World Government's rule is on the verge of collapse, someone like Akihara Kagura is actually dragging things down, and yet this person has become a Vice Admiral...

However, these agents, who are still working diligently for the World Government and the Celestial Dragons' rule, are instead being questioned and hindered by their superiors... What a damned world...

It's simply impossible to see a future!

CP9's direct superior, Spandam, was already a bad guy, which made things very difficult for these agents. They didn't expect that another vice admiral in charge of the operation would come along and openly express his desire to steal the credit!

Judiciary Island.

The island has a very unique environment.

Because most of Enies Lobby is suspended in the air with a huge void below, only the main entrance of the front island has a port that connects to the sea, the central part of the main island is completely suspended in the air, and the core area of ​​the last part, the Tower of Justice, is connected to the main island only through a movable bridge, this island can be described as truly easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Besides that…

Enies Lobby also boasts an extremely advantageous geographical location, situated within the same vortex current as Marineford, the main naval base, and Impel Down, the deep-sea prison.

This is a giant whirlpool that can only be used by the World Government. Normally, it is only by opening the Gate of Justice, which can change ocean currents, that one can reach Enies Lobby.

of course.

These things are meaningless to the strong.

In order to protect Enies Lobby, the island is still under the control of the Navy, and a considerable number of Navy personnel are still stationed there.

To date...

Enies Lobby has never been breached.

However, while this heavily guarded island could stop pirates from invading from the outside, it couldn't stop the people inside who were being escorted there directly.

Tower of Justice.

The location of the highest-ranking official on this judicial island.

With the two Five Elders moving back to Mary Geoise, the person in charge here has once again become Spandam, the head of the World Government's CP9.

it is a pity…

This top official is having another unpleasant time.

Kagura Akihara sat in Spandam's chair with her legs propped up on his desk, wearing a large justice cloak and holding her Den Den Mushi.

Spandam…

He lay on the ground, looking rather disheveled.

The CP9 officer was completely blackened, as if he had just been electrocuted, and his body was still trembling...

The remaining CP agents, including Otonashi Owl, Lion Kuchiki, and Jabra, stood by watching, not daring to move, because the body of CP9 agent Nero lay nearby, with clear scorch marks on it.

Obviously.

Nairobi was used as a sacrifice to intimidate.

This guy took the initiative to attack Akihara Kagura, but was executed by the Navy Vice Admiral as a warning to others. The CP9 agents have witnessed the Vice Admiral's ruthlessness.

"alright."

Kagura Akihara, holding her Den Den Mushi, glanced at Spandam: "Your men don't seem very capable... those Water Seven agents even questioned my orders!"

"That idiot Lucci is so clueless..."

Gabra could only clench his fists to explain for his companion.

As a special agent, he was intimidated by the vice admiral's imposing presence, ashamed of his own incompetence, and even had to criticize Lucci, the strongest among them...

But he was helpless in this situation...

"Don't be afraid, you little devil..."

Otonashi Owl quickly reassured his companion.

"Shut up."

Akihara Kagura raised her hand and pointed at Otonashi Owl.

The Otonashi owl, which looked rather fat and strange, quickly reached out and pulled its beak up as if it were zipping up a zipper, and then quickly closed its mouth.

The lion-like figure stood to the side, not daring to utter a sound, because this vice admiral was too brutal in his methods. Once he was unhappy, he would not say anything, but would immediately torture their superiors or even kill their teammates.

I just looked at your documents.

Kagura Akihara put down her Den Den Mushi and picked up the documents on the table.

"That's a secret from the World Government's CP department..."

Spandam instinctively wanted Akihara Kagura to stop.

"What did you say?"

As Akihara Kagura flipped through the documents, she extended a finger, the tip of which crackled with electricity once more: "I didn't hear you quite right, could you repeat it a little?"

"No... I didn't say anything..."

Spandam struggled to his feet, forcing a smile. "I just thought you might not understand the contents, and I might need to explain it to you. After all, CP Department's classified information needs to be deciphered..."

"Assassination of the revolutionary army's branch leader..."

Kagura Akihara ignored Spandam and continued reading the document. However, at Spandam's urging, his fingers instantly withdrew their lightning and tapped lightly on the table, finally easing Spandam's tense and fearful mood.

same.

Anger and hatred welled up in Spandam's heart!

Spandam's eyes were sinister as he secretly watched Akihara Kagura. As soon as this man left, he would immediately go to his father, Spandam, to complain and do everything he could to get rid of this vice admiral who dared to harm and offend him!

"Assassinated so many revolutionaries..."

Kagura Akihara finally finished reading the documents and casually remarked, "It seems you have a lot of work to do..."

"yes…"

A bitter look appeared in Spandam's eyes.

If there's one thing that's giving the World Government the biggest headache right now, it's undoubtedly the increasingly powerful Revolutionary Army. At least twenty of the World Government's member states have seen civilians launch uprisings at the instigation of the Revolutionary Army. The Revolutionary Army has even liberated other kingdoms through armed rebellions, and their advance is so rapid that it's almost caught everyone off guard.

in…

This is certainly related to the fact that world governments are short of manpower.

However, the potential unleashed by the revolutionary army itself has also drawn attention.

Compared to the petty annoyances of those pirates, the Revolutionary Army, whose true goal is to overthrow the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, is the real threat to the World Government!

Recently, CP9 has been receiving a constant stream of orders from its superiors, frequently demanding that they send assassins to kill members of the Revolutionary Army and purge its cadres at all costs…

This also gave Spandam a major headache.

Because he only had so many agents at his disposal, and the revolutionary army's cadres were also quite capable, how could they possibly complete so many missions in time?

"I have an idea..."

Akihara Kagura slightly raised her eyes, a wicked smile appearing on her lips: "I've heard that the Revolutionary Army leader, Monkey D. Dragon, has a son..."

"This time..."

"I'll be more generous..."

"I'll help you capture the son of Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army."

"!!!"

Spandam's eyes suddenly lit up.

If we could capture the son of Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and obtain the bloodline of the world's most evil criminal, the higher-ups certainly wouldn't be stingy...

"etc…"

Just as Spandam was lost in thought, he suddenly remembered something: "How could you possibly give me such credit?"

"Of course I'd be willing to give it up."

Kagura Akihara chuckled, seemingly mocking his naiveté: "Monkey D. Dragon's son is Straw Hat Luffy, and Straw Hat Luffy is Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp's grandson. I'm a Marine, you know. This kind of achievement is a hot potato for someone like me who wants a promotion. I don't want to be accused of being ruthless among my colleagues, so I need to maintain good relationships with them..."

"But..."

Kagura Akihara looked at Spandam in front of her and continued to press, "You shouldn't mind offending a Vice Admiral Garp who's already old and nearing retirement, right?"

"..."

Spandam really didn't care about that.

If we're only considering Garp's status, even a naval hero couldn't threaten him as the son of a high-ranking world government official or an even higher-ranking official...

and…

I serve the world government!

This kind of thing would definitely get the support of Satan, the God of Science and Defense, and Nassuro, the God of Finance. Spandam had specifically tried to curry favor with the two Five Elders who were temporarily residing on Enies Lobby. He knew the two highest authorities' concerns about the Revolutionary Army, as evidenced by the fact that the CP department had been receiving orders from above to assassinate the Revolutionary Army branch leaders...

"good…"

Spandam readily agreed. As long as he could please his superiors and the Celestial Dragons, he didn't care about anything else. He was a man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals!

"If we successfully capture Straw Hat Luffy..."

"You can do even more."

Kagura Akihara looked at Spandam with a sly smile, speaking seductively as if she were a devil: "If we make a big fuss about capturing the son of the Revolutionary Army leader, Dragon, the Revolutionary Army will definitely come to Enies Lobby to rescue him..."

"With Enies Lobby's easily defensible location and massive military strength, you were even able to take the opportunity to eliminate some Revolutionary Army cadres. Shouldn't your achievements be even greater then?"

"..."

Spandam's eyes immediately lit up.

"But..."

There's a problem here.

Spandam frowned slightly and continued, "How can we make a bigger splash, at least enough to attract the attention of the sea? We need to link the capture of Straw Hat Luffy with a major event. These days, the seas are filled with news of the Konoha Pirates; ordinary little things won't attract anyone's attention..."

"and…"

"Straw Hat Luffy is just a pirate."

Spandam wasn't particularly bright, but he could still think about some troublesome issues: "Some things are better left unsaid. We can't capture many of the Revolutionary Army's cadres, so we can only arrest the sons of the Revolutionary Army leaders. If this gets out, it will seem too despicable, and it will bring bad publicity to the newspapers. Last time our men went to assassinate the Revolutionary Army's branch leader, they ended up killing more than twenty people. The newspapers were full of scathing criticism, and we were scolded by the higher-ups..."

Spandam was deeply impressed by this incident because he had just learned a lesson: the World Government leadership had severely reprimanded him for making the news of the CP9 agent's assassination attempt, which was why he desperately needed credit.

"That's easy."

Kagura Akihara nonchalantly suggested a method: "Then let him create a major incident. After we arrest Nico Robin, we send her to Enies Lobby. Straw Hat Luffy is her captain. We can lure and provoke him into attacking Enies Lobby, then frame him for that crime. That will mitigate the negative impact. The son of the Revolutionary Army leader attacking Enies Lobby will be enough to attract the Revolutionary Army's attention. The Revolutionary Army's officers will definitely come to his rescue..."

"..."

Spandam's eyes lit up again.

The CP9 agents present remained silent. They just felt that the vice admiral in front of them was more like a secret service chief than they were. Why was a vice admiral's mind so complicated?

"Now…"

Akihara Kagura tapped her fingers on the table again and said softly, "Spandam, should we wipe the slate clean of our unpleasantness?"

"certainly…"

Spandam immediately burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... As long as we can eliminate enough Revolutionary Army soldiers and capture the son of their leader, none of that matters!"

However, Spandam's hand was still tightly gripping his command sword. Looking at Akihara Kagura, who was also laughing, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes again!

Cooperation is cooperation, and credit is credit…

We still need to get rid of this lieutenant general in the future!

"Let's go then..."

Kagura Akihara stood up, shaking her cloak of justice. "Take your men and come with me to Water Seven. We'll capture Nico Robin first!"

The next morning.

The sea train from Judicial Island has arrived in Water Seven.

Mayor Espagu of Water Seven arrived with a group of people to welcome Kagura Akihara, as he had already learned the identity of the visitor from the driver of the Sea Train. Rob Lucci and his party were also mixed in with the welcoming crowd from Water Seven.

However, after a young man wearing a navy cloak landed, he didn't care at all about the people who were waiting for him. As if he were an upright and stubborn navy man, he clearly adopted a businesslike attitude and waved his hand to order the navy to be on guard in Water Seven.

"What a righteous navy..."

Kalifa stood in the crowd, adjusted her glasses, and sighed softly, "I can't believe this is the lieutenant general who ordered us not to steal credit last night..."

"Say less, are you out of your mind?"

Bruno stopped the audacious Kalifa and continued, "I received news from the owl that he executed the disobedient Nero directly on Enies Lobby..."

"..."

Kaku broke out in a cold sweat.

After the welcoming crowd in Water Seven dispersed, the four CP9 agents who had been lurking in Water Seven came to pay their respects to Akihara Kagura and Spandam.

Akihara Kagura waved them off nonchalantly to get to work, while she sat on the sea train to rest, clearly displaying an attitude of wanting credit but not doing any work.

"..."

The group of agents had no choice but to retreat and get back to work.

When everyone had left the sea train and only Akihara Kagura remained, he took a Den Den Mushi and dialed the Marshal's office in Marineford.

"Lieutenant General Akihara Kagura?"

After Sengoku answered the Den Den Mushi, he suspected something was wrong: "Did something go wrong with the mission I gave you to arrest Nico Robin?"

"It's more than just a little trouble..."

Kagura Akihara glanced at the departing CP agents and said softly, "Commander Spandam of Enies Lobby doesn't just want to arrest Nico Robin; he wants to create a large-scale operation..."

At this point, Akihara Kagura laid everything bare, including luring Straw Hat Luffy to attack Enies Lobby, having him arrested as the son of the Revolutionary Army leader instead of a pirate to significantly reduce negative public opinion, and then using him to lure Revolutionary Army cadres, etc.

"This is a matter for the CP department."

Sengoku hoped that Akihara Kagura wouldn't get involved in these matters. But as he thought of this, the plan seemed vaguely familiar, like a repeat of other incidents: "Wait... this plan... you didn't help with it, did you?"

"I only made some minor improvements."

Kagura Akihara couldn't help but admire how well her new boss understood her: "Many people are paying attention to Straw Hat Luffy's identity. Once news of his fall on Enies Lobby gets out, there will be even more troublesome guys coming to rescue him..."

"Spandam isn't thinking straight..."

"He really thought that Luffy only had the Revolutionary Army behind him..."
