Holy Land Mariejois.

This is the heart of the World Government. At the top of this stately and elegant building, in a very s.p.a.cious hall, five people, sitting or standing, are all serious-faced. They are the core of the highest power of the World Government.

One of them frowned and hit the table with his fist.

"It's them again, The Ghost Hand Pirates."

"Even CP9 couldn't handle them?…"

Everyone's face was full of anger. For the high-ranking people like them, the Ghost-Hand Pirates name could not even reach their ears before they caused a huge storm.

But the Ghost Hand Pirates caused a huge storm, killing Crocodile who was one of the s.h.i.+chibukai, This new rising power caused them some headaches.

Different from the power of Yonkō (Four Emperors).

The Ghost Hand Pirates has no fixed place to stay and they wander around the sea and even disappeared inexplicably for six or seven months and no one was able to find them, even Marine Admiral Aokiji failed to find them.

Every Marine Admiral is an extremely important Battle force, not only to deal with all kinds of things in the Marine but to also protect the tenryubito and they are also needed to deal with the Yonkō (Four Emperors) that can make a big mess at any time. It is impossible for a Marine Admiral to hunt a single pirate force in the Grand Line.

"That seemingly small hole has become bigger."

"These Ghost Hand Pirates must be disposed of as soon as possible. With their dangerous behavior, if they continue to grow, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Ghost Shadow s.h.i.+p.

After dropping the seriously injured and comatose CP9 crew and letting Laffitte spy on them, Ross returned to the s.h.i.+p with Robin.

"It seems that you have made a decision."

Looking at Law who was standing at the deck Ross calmly said. With his current strength and status, It is not absolutely necessary for Ross to recruit Law as the s.h.i.+p's doctor, but with Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit, his potential is undoubtedly the biggest.

Law murmured, "If you can kill Doflamingo, I can join you."

Ross slightly smiled and without answering he made a gesture towards Robin, then turned and walked into the cabin and disappeared.

Robin watched Ross's back disappear into the cabin and she turned to look at Law and held her chin in one hand and smiled: "So, you can call him Captain the next time you see him."

Law sighed. He didn't know whether the decision today was right or wrong, but since the decision has been made, he can only take a step forward.

As Ross expected, Spandam put all the blame on Lucci and others in order to minimize his fault.

Coupled with his father, World Government's senior official Spandine manipulating the internal operations, the government finally issued a killing order on Lucci.

CP9 itself is a hidden organization which is independent of CP1-8. Now, not only are they completely exposed, but they also failed to complete their mission, so the existence of Lucci and others naturally loses its meaning.

Very soon.

The CP9 crew was hunted down by North Blue Marine. Because Lucci was seriously injured in Battle with Ross, and others were also injured, they could not resist the pursuit of Marine from North Blue branch, so they could only use Blueno's ability to flee continuously.

Although they have been brainwashed and are loyal to the World Government since childhood, this does not mean that they will be willing to be disposed of by the government, especially when they are blackmailed by Spandam.

For Ross.

They have no hatred, they are not as powerful as him and it was due to their luck that they managed to survive. All the anger they have has been transferred to Spandam.

"Spandam that b.a.s.t.a.r.d… sooner or later I will let him pay the price!"

Somewhere in the shady corner of an island, the wounded, woeful CP9 crew are staying and resting and Jabra is grinding his teeth in anger.

Lucci sat there without saying a word, he lost his fight to Ross. He believed in dark justice. In his eyes, weakness is sin, but he is weaker than Ross.

"It won't work like this. We have to find a place to treat our injuries first."

Kalifa watched Lucci's condition and the injuries and anxious expressions of the people present. Although they all had some first aid, they were not doctors after all. The injuries on their bodies could not be effectively alleviated and treated under the circ.u.mstances of Marine's constant pursuit.

In particular, Lucci was severely injured and he has not yet recovered any Battle strength. Some days ago, he even needed other people to help him. Only in these two days can he gradually walk by himself.

If they can completely recover from their Battle, let alone Lucci, Kaku, and Jabra, anyone of the CP9 members are not afraid of Marine's pursuit from North Blue Branch, It will be easy enough for them to beat them down.

"In our current state, Marine will kill us once we show up." f.u.kuro shook his head.

They are not very familiar with the environment of North Blue.

Kaku murmured: "The government and Marine's pursuit will not be obvious, ordinary civilians will not know about our affairs, the only problem is how to raise funds for treatment."

They are not pirates nor gangsters. Although they secretly executed countless disobedient people for the government, they only acted on their orders.

And just as the crowd was meditating, a voice suddenly came from the end of the lane.

"You don't need to raise any money to get treatment."

This voice changed the faces of all the CP9 people present, especially Lucci, who had been sitting there with his head down. He raised his head sharply and looked in the direction of the voice.

There.

Ross has appeared in the alleyway without them noticing his presence. His eyes were calm as he walked slowly toward the CP9 who was hiding in the depths of the alleyway.

"It's you……"

Kaku, Jabra, and others with Battle's strength stood up unconsciously and put on a defensive posture and stared at Ross with great vigilance.

But when they thought of the fight between Ross and Lucci which was not long ago, Ross defeated Lucci and crushed them easily, they could not help but feel powerless.

Ross was not very tall, but as he came and stood there, he gave them a feeling of suffocation, the scenes that lingered in their minds cannot be forgotten.

"Did you come here to taunt the losers?"

Lucci walked slowly to the front of the crowd and looked calmly at Ross.

Ross smiled and shook his head. "No, I'm here for only one purpose. That's to give you two choices."

"What choices?."

"First, work for me or

Second, all of you can die here."

Ross's voice was calm as it echoed in the dark lane.

Kaku, Jabra, and others were angered and they said: "What a joke, how can we work for a pirate."

"The choice is yours."

Ross stood there calmly, without raising his eyelids. He said lightly, "I want to remind you that you are not the CP9 of the government subordinates, but the fugitive pursued by the government."

"On the other hand, you should know all about me and the Ghost Hand Pirates, my purpose has never changed, that is… Hunting pirate."

At Ross's words, Kaku and Jabra fell silent.

Indeed.

They are no longer the members of CP9, but the fugitives pursued by the government. Strictly speaking, there is no difference between them and Ross.

As for Ross's second point… Their information about Ross and the Ghost-Hand Pirates is clear. The Ghost-Hand Pirates never raided civilians but kept hunting pirates all the way. As for the murdered Marine, it was also a counter-attack against the pursuit and suppression.

If Ross is the kind of pirate that plunders civilians, there is no acceptable possibility for them to work with him at all, but the fact is that Ross's behavior is not essentially different from them to some extent.

"It's not our Captain who led you to this situation. I think you know better than we do about the main person responsible for your current situation. Ha Ha…"

Laffitte's figure appeared silently.

Ross didn't intend to use words to conquer CP9. It was impossible to do it. At most, it will shake the hearts of the CP9 members. Laffitte's mission is to gradually pull them into the abyss of hypnosis when CP9's heart shakes.

"Spandam…"

"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d sooner or later I will make him pay the price for this."

Under the psychological guidance of Laffitte, the faces of CP9 were full of anger, but this anger was not directed at Ross, but it was directed towards Spandam.

He is greedy for life and is afraid of death, He always hides on the s.h.i.+p and does not come down, He let the Marines protect him and after the failure of the mission, he turned his head and fled without even saving them and he also dumped all responsibilities on them.

"Whoop, but if you deal with him, you will be going against the World Government." Laffitte's voice seems to have some magic, CP9's member's heart wavered and the belief in the heart gradually collapsed.

However.

Not everyone is gradually guided by Laffitte.

One person stood at his original position without any changes in his expressions, whether it was Laffitte or the reactions of Kaku and others, he did not do anything.

Rob Lucci.

"Weakness is sin, this is your point of view."

Ross's faintly said, Lucci's will is stronger than he expected, even now, he remains standing there without any expressions on his face, otherwise, he would have been affected by Laffitte.

If Lucci at this time affects Kaku and others, it is likely to cause Laffitte's guidance failure, leading to an irreversible situation.

"But a weak person become your chief and control your destiny. Isn't this a very sad thing?"

Laffitte is constantly guiding Kaku, Jabra, and others, while Ross continues to talk to Lucci, shaking Lucci's heart with what he knows.

Compared with other people in CP9, Lucci has more potential then all of them combined together. In the original series, he was defeated by Luffy. After being chased by the government, he actually returned and become the chief of CP0 and went he was able to fight Sabo who ate Flame-Flame Fruit without losing any ground.

Ross will recognize such strength and potential, he is even willing to let him join his official crew.

"I won't interfere with their choice."

Lucci was silent for a moment, then suddenly he opened his mouth calmly.

He knew what Ross is trying to do and knew what Laffitte is doing. It can't change him or affect him. He's still Rob Lucci, the strongest CP9 member in 800 years. He won't surrender to pirate or do anything for a pirate.

However, he will not change the choices of Kaku and others.

"I am Rob Lucci."

"Weakness is a sin… If one day you can be stronger than the government, then you are just… But at least for now, you're not."

"I can be loyal to justice, but not to the enemy."

Lucci's tone is calmly narrated. When it comes to this, his thoughts move and his body suddenly expands, It was a little difficult to enter the leopard form. "You are the only qualified enemy I have encountered."

Ross looked at Lucci and there were a slight regret and loss in his eyes. He said: "If you had met me a year earlier, it would have been a suspenseful Battle."

"Is that right? That's a pity."

Lucci had a slight smile on his face as he pounced on Ross.

Bang!

Lucci's body stops and solidifies there with Ross's fist resting on his chest.

"Lucci!"

Kaku, Jabra, and others were shocked and puzzled.

Lucci's body quickly recovered from Leopard Man's form and fell aside. There were no new wounds on his body, but the internal organs of Lucci's body had already been crushed.

"This is really…"

Laffitte shook his head. Fortunately, he had almost completed the guidance and preliminary hypnosis. Lucci took the initiative to make a choice and didn't interfere with his work. Otherwise, he might lose a lot.

Even so, he had to continue his work. Although Kaku and others were affected, their heart now has an even bigger flaw and he found an opportunity to invade it.

On the other side.

Ross slowly retracted his hand and shook his head.

At the same time, a familiar voice was heard in his ear.

"Rob Lucci, the strongest CP9 member in 800 years, has been killed, a reward of 100 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 point Free Talent Points has been acquired."

Looking at Lucci's body, Ross muttered to himself, "Whether it's life or death, You were worth it. You were indeed a qualified opponent. Unfortunately, I met you too late."

The death of Lucci adds hatred to Kaku and others, but this hatred does not point to Ross, but to Spandam, even without Laffitte guidance.

When Ross first beat them, he didn't kill Lucci.

It was a decent defeat.

After a while.

"The remaining CP9 members joined The Ghost Hand Pirates."

Laffitte completed the final guidance, He slightly smiled while looking towards Kaku and others, He performed a long brainwas.h.i.+ng and deep hypnosis, just in line with Law's treatment to Kaku and others to synchronize, to maximize their loyalty.

Kaku and others did not speak, although they decided to join the Ghost Hand Pirates, they were all in a low mood because of Lucci's death.

Very soon.

The CP9 members and Ross returned to the Ghost Shadow s.h.i.+p, Law was responsible for healing the injuries they suffered and Laffitte for further brainwas.h.i.+ng and hypnosis.

A month later, Ghost Shadow s.h.i.+p returned to Grand Line with Kaku and others and placed them on a large island and issued a Den Den Mus.h.i.+ for contact.

Ghost hand intelligence organization has been created.

At the same time, the World Government changed the bounty amount of the Ghost Hand Pirates, Robin's bounty increased to 80 million Berries and Laffitte's bounty became 120 million Berries.

As for the bounty of Ross, it was raised to…

300 million Berries!
