The six people sat down around the round table, yet the figure of Crocodile was still nowhere to be seen.
"He really has such a big air about him, actually letting the six of us wait for him alone."
Although Doflamingo had a smile on his face, everyone could hear the displeasure in his tone.
Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke, "We don't need to wait for him, the meeting begins immediately!"
"What exactly did the World Government summon us here for this time?" Jinbei sat very upright, asking out the doubt in his heart.
Vice Admiral Tsuru did not conceal anything, she went straight to the point, "The Government wants to gather your strength to deal with one man."
Doflamingo sneered, his words full of disdain. "One man? Who has such a big face that it requires gathering the power of the Seven Warlords to deal with him together?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru slowly said, "Kujo Jotaro."
At this moment, Hawkeye Mihawk, Bartholomew Kuma, and Doflamingo's eyes all suddenly widened.
"So it's him…" Doflamingo's smile became even stranger, "I've long wanted to butcher that guy."
"But Madam Tsuru, you really think highly of him huh, just for such a man summoning the seven of us, that's really making a mountain out of a molehill."
"If you really want him dead, I'd be glad to oblige, but me alone is enough."
Vice Admiral Tsuru sneered. "Oh? After so long without seeing you, you already have the confidence to defeat Whitebeard?"
Doflamingo was stunned. "What do you mean by that?"
———
Jotaro closed the book in front of him with a sigh.
"These people really are lingering like ghosts."
On the sea, a small boat was slowly approaching the Ark Maxim, the three on it were none other than CP9's Gabra and the others.
"Tonight is the day of his death!" Gabra said viciously, "Once they fall asleep, we'll board the ship and slaughter everyone."
Owl looked at him, always feeling things would not proceed so smoothly.
As if to verify his thought, sounds came from the Ark Maxim, startling the three.
"What's going on?"
"Look in the water, what kind of fish is that? Swimming so fast!"
"It's heading toward us!"
BOOM!! BOOM!!
The sea surged up with terrifying waves, water splashing sky-high.
"Report to boss, torpedo hit the target!"
At close range, torpedoes were much more efficient than missiles, and the damage was not to be underestimated.
Before CP9's three could even carry out their plan, they were directly blasted into the sky by the torpedo.
Even with their strong bodies, taking a torpedo head-on at close range directly robbed them of combat ability.
Clearing away this small trouble, Jotaro continued sailing the Ark Maxim toward Alabasta, drawing closer and closer to the target.
Alabasta, the World Government's temporary base for the intelligence organization.
Not long after, Spandam received the report of mission failure.
"How could this be!" he roared hoarsely, "The Navy plus CP9 still aren't his match! Is this man really that strong!"
Just earlier he had received a call from his father Spandine, who told him to complete the task of eliminating Jotaro as soon as possible, otherwise this credit might very well be snatched away by others.
Spandine had originally planned to silently complete this task and monopolize the credit, but who could have thought his idiot son would contact the Navy.
In order to deal with Jotaro, the Government even convened a Seven Warlords meeting.
Spandam clenched his fists, his knuckles faintly turning white.
He and his father were the same type of people, with only promotion and fortune in their hearts, nothing else.
He absolutely did not want to let anyone else take the credit.
"Damn it! Do I really have to summon Rob Lucci and the others?"
Right now he was fighting on two fronts.
He had split CP9's members into two teams, one team being Gabra and the others who were just annihilated by Jotaro.
The other team was Rob Lucci and the others, left in Water 7 to carry out the mission of acquiring the Ancient Weapon blueprints.
Compared to the first team, the second team was stronger.
But Spandam had already long laid plans to acquire the Ancient Weapon blueprints, he did not want to give up halfway.
Having both teams complete their missions, the maximum gain, that was his pursuit.
But now…
"Do I really have to abandon one side?"
Spandam's heart was very unwilling.
"Report to Chief Spandam, we have made a major discovery."
A member of CP7 reported using a Den Den Mushi.
"What discovery?" Spandam already had no hope.
"The woman you've been searching for, Nico Robin, we already have a lead."
"What!" Spandam's eyes lit up.
Nico Robin was one of the few in this world who could read Poneglyphs.
The Government very much wanted to obtain this woman.
Catching her was equally a great achievement.
"Quickly say, where is Nico Robin!" Spandam urged.
"Nico Robin is currently the subordinate of one of the Seven Warlords, Crocodile, they are all in Alabasta."
"Besides this, we also discovered some information that would be useful to Chief."
Under Spandam's questioning, they reported methodically.
"Ahahaha…" Spandam laughed wildly, "Truly heaven helps me!"
"Kujo Jotaro! Nico Robin, not one of you will escape the palm of my hand!"
———
"There, that's Alabasta!" Vivi saw the outline of her homeland, being close to home her emotions surged.
"Never thought Alabasta would be such a superpower!" Nami's eyes had already become the shape of Berries, "Vivi, once things are done, don't forget the payment you promised us."
"Hehe…" Vivi smiled helplessly.
Jotaro walked to Vivi's side and said, "The Ark Maxim is too big, if we rashly dock it will cause a commotion."
"Do you know which direction is more hidden?"
Vivi nodded, "Not long ago, I contacted Igaram, after I disappeared, he faked his death to leave the organization and secretly returned to Alabasta."
"In his letter he said, let us dock at Yuba, he would meet us there."
"So that's how it is." Jotaro muttered softly, "We'll land there then."
"To be safe, Mr. 9! Before we go ashore, use the drone to scout, once you confirm Igaram and the others' location, then we'll move."
Since the CP9 harassment earlier, their journey had been very calm.
Jotaro did not believe the Government would stop there, so he was cautious everywhere.
"Understood!"
Receiving the order, Mr. 9 quickly launched the drone, grasping the situation around the rendezvous location.
"Boss, I found a person on the shore, but not sure if he's Igaram. I've sent you the picture."
The man in the photo had strange curly hair.
The moment she saw him, Vivi exclaimed excitedly, "It's him, that's Igaram!"
Jotaro asked in a deep voice, "You're sure?"
"Since childhood, I was raised by Igaram, I would never mistake him!"
Jotaro put both hands into his pockets and said lightly, "Then let's go ashore!"
