One Piece: Invincible Starting From The Fruit Of Words

"Pirates, it must have been done by those hateful pirates."

"The battle last night was due to pirates killing people."

"Damn, these pirates are truly unforgivable."

"Why did they want to kill Mr. Lucci and the others? They were just shipwrights and bar owners."

"Could it have been aimed at Mr. Bingshan?"

Lucci and Kaku are shipwrights of Bingshan Shipbuilding Company, and Kalifa is Bingshan's secretary. All three of them are inextricably linked to Bingshan.

Everyone thought for a while and felt they had guessed the truth.

"Find someone to notify Mr. Bingshan."

"Yes, we must protect Mr. Bingshan!"

As the mayor of the capital of Water 7, Bingshan is respected by the residents of the whole island.

Knowing that he might be targeted by pirates, the residents were terrified.

Bingshan rushed to the scene quickly, looked at the corpses in silence, and had someone take the bodies away.

He was saddened, but he didn't know that he owed Lucifer a big favor.

Bingshan never imagined that his effective staff and personal secretary were actually secret agents of the World Government.

When Bingshan sent people to collect the bodies, a man in a black suit quietly slipped away from the crowd of onlookers.

He walked into a hidden alley and dialed a Den Den Mushi.

"Hello, it's me."

"Master Lucci and the others have had an accident."

"The four of them—Lucci, Kaku, Blueno, and Kalifa—are all dead in Water 7."

"It's still uncertain whether their identities have been exposed."

"Understood. I'll continue monitoring the situation here."

The black-suited agent hung up the phone, and there was still a trace of shock in his eyes.

Who would have thought that CP9, who prides themselves on being the strongest in 800 years, would die here without a sound?

All of this was because of that devil-like man.

The agent turned his gaze to the distant port, where many pirate ships were docked.

No one dared approach one of the pirate ships, and the surrounding sea was considered a restricted area.

Although there was no evidence to show who the murderer was, the secret agents hidden on the island knew very well.

Only the Nether Pirates could have defeated CP9!

......

The death of Rob Lucci and the others also meant the complete failure of the World Government's undercover operation.

The Pluton blueprints were the very thing the World Government wanted to acquire. To achieve this, they didn't hesitate to send CP9 in person, which shows how highly the government regarded it.

The blueprints for Pluton... and the demon Lucifer.

Once the news reached them, it was reported step by step and eventually reached the ears of the Five Elders.

At the Pangu Palace in Mariejois, the Five Elders gathered, their faces grim.

"Sure enough, they are a bunch of trash. They can't even do something as simple as this!"

"Who is the head of CP9? The mission failed, so he should bear the responsibility. Send him to the guillotine."

"This is not the time for accountability; it's the Pluton blueprints that matter."

"The identity of CP9 must remain a secret. Lucifer shouldn't know the identities of Lucci and the others."

"There's no risk. Even if there's the slightest chance, it must be erased!"

"Marine checked Lucifer's background. He should not know about the Pluton blueprints."

"It looks like he's only hunting down strong prey."

The Five Elders spoke to one another, their voices flat but filled with authority.

After the incident broke, Lucifer's detailed information had already been sent to them.

They also had a clear picture of Lucifer's activities.

By analyzing Lucifer's actions after setting sail, the Five Elders concluded that Lucifer is someone who enjoys killing and hunting strong opponents.

Lucifer is very similar to Hawkeye, except that while Hawkeye hunts sword masters, Lucifer hunts all strong individuals.

This is a sharp blade; if used correctly, it might become a tool for the World Government.

But it's a pity that Lucifer became a pirate because of the Failoo Island incident.

They can't say that Marine's destruction of Fajru was wrong—they can only say it was fate.

"Lucifer probably doesn't know about the Pluton blueprints, but he has become a disaster in his own right and must be dealt with."

The blonde-haired Five Elder stood by the window, speaking calmly.

"Marine has decided to send Lucifer to the New World and use the pirates there to deal with him."

"That's not a bad idea. The way Lucifer operates, if he enters the New World, he'll soon clash with those few individuals."

"At that time, Marine will be able to reap the rewards."

The bald Five Elder agreed with Marshal Sengoku's plan.

"However, Marine's strength has grown in recent years. If the situation in the New World spirals out of control, Marine may also lose control. We need to keep an eye on this."

The bearded Five Elder spoke lightly.

In the eyes of the Five Elders, they didn't care much about Marines, pirates, or even the Four Emperors.

What mattered to them was balance.

As long as the overall situation in the world didn't tip too far, the World Government's dominance wouldn't be threatened.

A mere group of pirates—no matter how strong—so what?

After decades, they would naturally die of old age.

And the World Government would still be here.

The Five Elders didn't want the pirates to be too strong, nor did they want the Marines to be too strong. They didn't even want the Marines to wipe out the pirates.

They hoped that Marines and pirates would always be at odds.

That way, Marines would always serve as tools for the World Government.

If the pirates were wiped out, the Marines would become useless as tools.

At that point, the tool might backfire on its master.

"Although there's a high possibility that Lucifer doesn't know about the Pluton blueprints, we cannot completely rule out the possibility."

Holding a katana, the Five Elder spoke indifferently as he wiped the blade clean.

"You mean... invite him to become a Shichibukai?"

The curly-haired Five Elder exchanged a glance with his colleagues.
