...

Upon hearing this, Iceberg could no longer keep his composure.

He trembled as he slammed his hands on the desk, shouting, "Who exactly are you?"

Noir fixed his gaze on Iceberg and said, "Noir, just a passerby who respects Tom."

Iceberg was stunned, instinctively thinking he was joking.

Does anyone still remember Tom?

But when he saw the seriousness in Noir's expression, Iceberg couldn’t help but believe him a little.

However, he couldn't understand and asked, "Why are you looking for Franky? What do you want from him?"

"I'm interested in his skills, particularly his weapon-making ability," Noir replied honestly. Meeting Franky was all about his craftsmanship.

The reward from the system related to Franky could only be about his skills, right?

Iceberg sat back on the sofa, trying to calm himself as he said, "How can I trust you?"

Noir smiled and said, "If I were a bad person, I would've already threatened you instead of wasting time talking."

"Pluton's blueprints are just that, blueprints. Who knows if anyone in this world can even build it? Why would I be interested?"

Iceberg remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Franky has formed a group called the Franky Family and does ship dismantling work on the shore."

In reality, apart from his identity, Franky's location wasn't really a secret, people in Water 7 knew about it, so there was no point in hiding it from Noir.

Now, Iceberg could only hope that Noir was being truthful about having no interest in Pluton.

Iceberg handed Noir a slip of paper with the address on it, and Noir smiled as he said, "Thanks!"

Having achieved his goal, Noir got up to leave but seemed to remember something and said, "Mayor, a word of advice, be cautious of the people around you."

Iceberg frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Noir responded, "The government you fear has already planted people close to you."

Iceberg's face darkened as he immediately denied it, "Impossible! Who?"

"Your secretary, for one. Oh, and two shipwrights, Kaku and Lucci."

Iceberg looked at him in disbelief and said, "How could that be? Lucci and the others have been with me for..."

Noir shook his head and explained, "Rob Lucci, known as the strongest CP9 agent in 800 years, is indeed a true agent."

Seeing that Iceberg was still in disbelief, Noir turned to leave, saying, "You'll understand soon enough."

"CP9 should be making their move against me soon. Where is your secretary?"

Iceberg paused for a moment and then said, "She took a leave of absence earlier and will be resting this afternoon. She's already gone."

Noir scoffed, saying, "Lucci is also out, and Kaku was sent away. Looks like they're about to act."

As Noir spoke, Iceberg’s trust in Lucci and the others began to waver.

Could they really be agents?

As he watched Noir walk away, Iceberg's resolve also began to weaken.

If Kalifa and the others were indeed agents, then how many confidential documents had been leaked over these past days?

Noir and Enel left Dock 1 and headed towards the address Iceberg had given them.

Walking slowly through the streets and alleys of Water 7, Enel complained in a low voice, "There are a few people following us. Looks like they want to pick a fight."

Noir nodded, and suddenly a little boy walked up to them, licking a lollipop and sniffling, saying, "Big brother, someone asked me to give this to you."

The boy's dirty little hand held a piece of paper. Noir took it and unfolded it, finding a threatening message written on it.

"Mr. Noir, your crew member is in our hands. If you don't want him to die, do as we say."

Noir frowned. Conis was with Robin, and he trusted Robin's vigilance.

Besides, he had thoroughly informed Robin about Enies Lobby before they landed.

So, was it Wyper who was captured? Did Kaku do it?

Impossible. Noir knew Wyper's strength. Even if Kaku, the second strongest in CP9, wanted to deal with Wyper, it would take some effort.

Unless Lucci himself came, or if the remaining CP9 members ganged up on him, it would be difficult to subdue him so quickly.

Noir asked the boy curiously, "Did the person who gave you this note say anything else?"

The boy, still sniffing, said, "Oh right, he told you to turn right at the next intersection, then left at the third alley."

Such caution.

Noir grabbed Enel and started running, following the directions given. But as soon as he turned into the alley, he was met with a familiar face.

"Wyper? What are you doing here?" Noir asked, puzzled.

Wyper was also surprised to see Noir and pulled out a piece of paper, saying, "After I delivered the ship to the dock, someone called me out, saying you guys had been kidnapped."

Noir's eyes glowed red as he grinned and said, "So that's the trap."

Enel, using his Observation Haki, suddenly found his body not responding well. He struggled to say, "Someone's coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, black walls suddenly rose from the ground at both ends of the alley.

The walls on both sides of the buildings also rose from the base, covering the walls in metal.

Looking up, even the top was quickly sealed.

In just a few seconds, the place turned into an iron prison.

The narrow alley was now almost devoid of light, making it difficult to discern directions using sight alone.

At this moment, a door-shaped outline appeared in the air, and then it seemed as if a hole had opened in the void. Inside the green dimension, several figures emerged.

Four people in total, all wearing black uniforms and masks. The leader had a white pigeon perched on his shoulder.

Noir looked at their leader and said with a smile, "Rob Lucci, your pigeon is too recognizable, so there's no point in hiding anymore."

Lucci didn't react to this, quietly removing his disguise, and the three behind him also took off their masks.

If they were going to take them off, why did they wear them in the first place?

Noir didn’t understand.

Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, and the Door-Door Fruit user Blueno, who had been undercover in a bar, were all here.

Out of CP9's seven members, four had shown up. It was clear they were determined to succeed.

Being confined like a caged animal, Enel was the first to lose his temper.

"You're dead meat!"

Enel struck his drums, and lightning formed the shape of a dragon behind him, charging forward and illuminating the dark space.

But the CP9 agents on the other side remained unfazed. Blueno quickly activated his ability, using the Door-Door Fruit to effortlessly absorb the Thunder Dragon.

In the next moment, Blueno stomped on the ground and shouted, "Rankyaku!"

The sharp Rankyaku slash struck the ground, clearing away the top layer of soil, leaving only a layer of dust.

With the soil removed, the ground beneath was revealed to be made of the same black metal wall.

Enel, already feeling unwell, now found the sensation even stronger. His body weakened, and he almost collapsed.

Wyper quickly caught Enel, saying in shock, "Could this be... Seastone?"

"That's right," Lucci finally spoke.

"In this room made of Seastone, your abilities won't work."

Noir clicked his tongue and said, "Quite the big move, pulling out all the stops to deal with me."

But then again, his Devil Fruit powers weren't affected by such things.

Besides, with the talents he copied from Hawkeye, his combat strength had long since shifted from Devil Fruit abilities to swordsmanship!
