Sailing: I was falsely accused of watching Nami bathe, but I'm blind.

Rashly getting involved will only result in being torn to pieces by the combined forces of both sides.

But he forcibly suppressed the urge to leave immediately.

His mission target, the defector, is very likely related to this attack! This might be an excellent opportunity for him to find his target, or at least obtain crucial clues! Moreover, observing the combat methods and strength of CP9, the legendary highest intelligence agency of the world government, up close will also be of great reference value for him to understand the top forces in this world.

Ultimately, Kai made a bold decision—to stay behind for the time being, remain hidden in the shadows, and use his senses to "observe" the conflict as much as possible, gather intelligence, and search for clues related to his mission objectives.

He concealed his aura to the extreme, remaining completely still, like a rock merging into darkness.

His "mind's eye" was highly focused, carefully discerning every subtle energy fluctuation and sound coming from within the official residence.

He could clearly "see" (perceive) the intruders' methods of action.

They worked together with perfect coordination, like a precisely operating killing machine.

Some were responsible for a frontal assault to draw the iceberg's attention; others moved like ghosts, flanking and weaving, searching for weaknesses in the defenses; still others seemed to be moving quickly within the mansion, as if searching for some specific target or item.

The physical techniques they used also shocked Kai.

That wasn't any style he was familiar with, but rather... a combat technique that pushed human potential to its limits, a technique beyond the realm of reason! He could sense the immense power that erupted the moment their feet touched the ground as they moved at extremely high speeds (Moonwalk?); he could sense their defensive techniques where their muscles instantly tensed and became as hard as steel when attacked (Iron Body?); he could sense the terrifying power in their punches, kicks, or fingertips that could easily pierce through steel (Finger Pistol? Tempest Kick?).

The Six Styles of the Navy! Kai's mind immediately flashed to this signature martial art of the CP department, which was only mentioned in a very limited number of high-level intelligence reports! It really is CP9!

Among these intruders, several figures particularly caught Kai's attention.

They all wore peculiar masks (Kay could sense the material and shape of the masks), and the aura emanating from them was more dangerous and unfathomable than that of the other members! One was as swift as a cheetah, wielding a finger gun; another was as strong as a bull, skilled in iron-block defense; and yet another was as silent as an owl, seemingly directing from the shadows… Each of them posed a strong threat to Kai!

What shocked and puzzled Kai even more was that he actually detected an aura among these intruders' auras that he was once extremely familiar with!

Nico Robin!

How could she be here?! And... her aura was mixed in with those CP9 agents, carrying an indescribable complexity and repression, but it seemed... she was with them?!

This discovery was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Kai's mind blank for a moment!

Robin… that learned, elegant archaeologist with the ever-present mysterious smile, the companion who once stood with him on the Straw Hat Pirates and even expressed admiration and understanding (at least that's what he thought before he was abandoned), is actually… a secret agent of the World Government? And involved in the attack on Mayor Iceberg?!

How can this be? !

Kai felt his understanding had been overturned once again! If Robin really was a member of CP9, then was her joining the Straw Hat Pirates for some ulterior motive? Was she also involved in the Alabasta incident?

Countless questions and speculations flooded Kai's mind, making him feel dizzy.

He forced himself to calm down.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

He must memorize everything he perceives.

The appearance of CP9, the power of the Six Powers, Robin's mysterious identity... all of this indicates that the secrets hidden in Water Seven are much deeper than he imagined! His mission to hunt down the rogue agent has become even more unpredictable and dangerous.

He must be more cautious and careful.

In this game of chess, played by the world government's highest intelligence agency, he, a tiny pawn, could be crushed to pieces with the slightest misstep.

CP9's first raid on the mayor's mansion did not appear to achieve their ultimate goal.

Kai sensed that, after a fierce battle, Iceberg, though injured, had managed to repel the invaders thanks to his familiarity with the mansion's terrain and the timely support of the Carrera Company's shipwrights.

CP9 withdrew silently, just as they had arrived, leaving behind a messy official residence and an even more tense and solemn atmosphere.

However, just as the chaos caused by this sudden attack had not completely subsided, Kai's senses unexpectedly detected an aura that he had been searching for for a long time!

It's that former CP agent who defected!

His breath was unusually weak and filled with pain and terror, clearly indicating that he had just experienced a fierce battle and was seriously injured.

He seemed to be trying to sneak in during the CP9 attack on the Iceberg and the chaos inside and outside the residence to steal or destroy something related to him that might expose his identity or incriminating evidence.

However, he clearly underestimated CP9's strength and vigilance, and overestimated his own abilities.

Not only did he fail to succeed, he also unexpectedly encountered CP9 members who were retreating (or were responsible for perimeter security), resulting in a brief but brutal conflict!

Ultimately, thanks to some kind of life-saving trump card or familiarity with the escape route, he barely managed to escape from CP9, but at the cost of further injuries, and his breath became extremely weak.

Kai's heart skipped a beat! It was like finding a needle in a haystack! The goal he had been searching for had unexpectedly come to him!

He immediately focused all his attention on that faint yet unique aura.

He could clearly sense that the seriously injured agent was staggering like a stray dog, fleeing towards a more remote and chaotic area away from the city center and closer to Shipwreck Island.

Now or never!

Kai no longer hesitated.

He immediately emerged from his hiding place, like a hawk in the dark, and followed the faint scent of blood and weakness amidst the chaotic atmosphere at full speed!

He had to intercept the target before he completely disappeared, or before CP9 could find him again! The success or failure of this mission might hinge on this one move! The hunter's instinct to pursue his prey was completely ignited within him!

Just as Kai was racing after the heavily wounded rogue agent, the weather in Water Seven began to change drastically at a visible speed.

The once calm sea began to be swept by increasingly fierce winds.

·0 requests for flowers········

The clouds in the sky also quickly piled up, thickened, and darkened, pressing heavily onto the sea like spilled ink.

The air became unusually humid and stuffy, carrying a sense of oppressive tension, like the calm before a storm.

Kaina's keen perception allowed her to capture even deeper changes.

He could "hear" a series of deep and terrifying roars, like the awakening of ancient behemoths, coming from beneath the distant sea surface! He could "feel" that the seawater was gathering and rising at an abnormal speed and force, as if something incredibly huge was about to rise from the seabed!

"The Goddess of Water"! Akula Ragna!

Kai's mind immediately flashed back to that terrifying term that had been circulating in Water Seven for a long time and was feared by all! It was a super tsunami that Water Seven would experience every year, capable of submerging most of the city!

He had learned about the descriptions of the "Gods of Water" from intelligence reports, but he never imagined that he would experience it in person.

At this moment, feeling the terrifying pressure that permeated the heavens and earth, like the arrival of the apocalypse, Kai's heart sank.

The impending massive storm and tsunami will undoubtedly cause him enormous trouble in his tracking operation!

The strong winds would further interfere with his hearing and sense of smell; the torrential rain would wash away all traces left by the target; and if a tsunami were to actually hit, the entire city could be submerged, making tracking impossible and even threatening his own safety!

However, crises are often accompanied by opportunities.

Kai also realized that this massive natural disaster could create unprecedented chaos! When everyone is busy avoiding the storm and tsunami, the city's defenses and vigilance will inevitably be at their lowest point.

0 ........

For him, a "dark hunter" who excels at operating in chaos, this might actually be an excellent opportunity to complete the mission or even fish in troubled waters!

He must find and capture the rogue agent before the "Water Gods" truly descend! Otherwise, once the tsunami erupts, the target may disappear completely in the chaos, or simply perish in the natural disaster, and his mission will be a complete failure!

With this in mind, Kai quickened his pace! He pushed his senses to the limit, braving the increasingly fierce winds, and sped toward the ever-fading target aura!

The atmosphere in the city is becoming increasingly tense.

Kai could sense that countless citizens were running around in panic, nailing doors and windows shut, reinforcing houses, or moving to higher ground.

The gondolas in the canal have long since disappeared, replaced by the busy figures of Carrera boatmen who are urgently reinforcing the dikes and dredging the waterways.

All ships, regardless of size, had already sailed into the inner harbor or the huge dry docks for refuge.

The entire Water City was shrouded in a sense of apocalyptic panic and frantic activity.

Just as the storm was brewing and the whole city was on high alert, on the night before the "Water Goddess" Akula Ragna was to truly descend, Kai's senses once again detected intense energy fluctuations!

This time, the location of the outbreak was once again the mayor's official residence, which was at the center of the storm!

CP9 has struck again! And they chose this night, a night about to be engulfed by natural disaster! What are they trying to do?!

Kai immediately focused his senses on the mayor's residence.

He was shocked to discover that this time, CP9's target seemed to be more than just Mayor Iceberg! He also clearly sensed that Nico Robin's complex and repressed aura had also become one of CP9's targets!

Could it be... that CP9's target was Robin from the very beginning? Or perhaps it was the knowledge about the Ancient Weapons that Robin possessed?

What surprised Kai even more was that this time, it wasn't just CP9 that broke into the mayor's residence!

Those familiar auras that unsettled him had also appeared on the battlefield!

Luffy's aura is like rubber, full of resilience, yet bursting with amazing power!

Zoro's sword aura is as sharp and unparalleled as a demon, capable of cutting through everything!

Namina uses the Weather Stick to create strange energy fluctuations of lightning and wind!

Chopper's life force shifts between different forms, sometimes ferocious, sometimes agile!

The Straw Hat crew has somehow stumbled into the scene of CP9's second attack! Are they there to protect Iceberg? Or... to retrieve Robin from CP9 (or rather, those who cooperate with CP9)?

Kai didn't have time to think about the reasons in detail.

He could clearly sense that the mayor's residence had now completely transformed into a brutal and chaotic battlefield!

CP9 agents displayed a far more terrifying strength than during their first attack! They held nothing back, unleashing the full power of their Six Styles of Taijutsu! Finger pistols rained down like a dense storm, Tempest Kick sliced ​​through the air like sharp blades, Iron Body made them like impenetrable walls, and Moonwalk allowed them to move through the air like ghosts! (Kawa)

Chapter 62 I Have My Own Path

Carrera's shipwrights, though each one was exceptionally skilled, were utterly helpless against these monsters who were proficient in the Six Powers, suffering heavy casualties!

The arrival of the Straw Hat crew made the battle even more chaotic and intense!

Luffy's rubber body, seemingly indestructible like a cockroach, engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with CP9's expert fighters! The sounds of their fists colliding shook the entire mansion!
