61 Agent Merry's Kick of Doom

Robin looked at Merry's angry face and said, "Don't be angry. Did you forget we are on a secret mission? It's time to report to everyone about our findings." Merry's eyes started to shine as she took on a serious expression. "You are correct, Agent Robin!" said Merry while trying to make her voice sound heavy.

At the dock, everyone was waiting for Merry's report. When Merry's voice sounded in their heads, she said, "Agent Merry to Straw Hats! Can you hear me?" Luffy asked, "Merry!! You finally called! Where are you? Are you and Robin alright?"

"It's Agent Merry!! And yes, we are doing well," replied Merry. Nami had a realization, "Now I get it! When Merry contacts us, we can reply too, but we cannot initiate the call."

"Yes, she's using her ability on us to communicate. That's why we cannot contact her since it will require her to use her ability," commented Gohan.

"Agent Merry to Straw Hats! Is it not working?" muttered Merry in confusion. "We can hear you; please report, Merry," said Lily. Merry shouted, "It's Agent Merry!!" Everyone grabbed their heads because of her loud voice.

"Okay, Agent Merry, please report," said Gohan with a sigh. Merry then proceeded to tell them about CP9's plan. After hearing their plan, everyone was furious. Sanji and Luffy shouted, "Those bastards want to frame us? I will kick their asses!"

"Merry," said Gohan, but Merry shouted, "Agent Merry!" even louder. Gohan rubbed his forehead and said, "Agent Merry, stay put and inform me when the backup arrives. I am sure they will take Robin to receive the people who are on their way here. Then we will start the plan," said Gohan.

"Okay, I understand. Over and out," said Merry. Gohan sighed and thought, "Let's hope Merry doesn't get too excited and do something silly." Gohan looked towards Nami and said, "Nami, give me the Eternal Pose of Alabasta Kingdom."

"Hm? Why do you want that?" asked Nami with a confused look on her face. "Just give it to me. You will know why when I get back," Nami brought the Eternal Pose of Alabasta from the cabin and gave it to Gohan. "I will be back in a while. I have a feeling that the Franky family will try to take our money. Just make sure not to kill them; they are useful," instructed Gohan, and he flew away at high speed.

"There he goes, acting all mysterious and giving out random orders," said Nami in frustration. Chopper asked, "What should we do now?" Everyone looked towards Luffy, who smiled and said, "Let's eat! Sanji, food!" Everyone sighed but agreed with his suggestion.

After a while, when Gohan returned, it was already nighttime. Everyone sensed his arrival and appeared on the deck. "Why have you brought him here with you?" asked Lily in surprise as she looked at Bon Clay, who was waving his hands towards them.

"Everyone! Did you miss me? I have come to help you guys again," said Bon Clay while doing ballet. "He is very important for my plan," stated Gohan. "Did Merry contact you guys?" asked Gohan.

Before they could reply, Merry's voice sounded in their heads. "Agent Merry to Straw Hats! Agent Merry..." "We can hear you, Agent; please go on," said Gohan. "The baddies have brought us to the train station. It looks like more baddies are about to arrive at any moment," said Merry.

"Okay, we will be there in a few minutes," replied Gohan. He then looked at Sanji and said, "Everyone, take Bon Clay with you and go towards the station. I will be there in a few minutes, and don't ask for the reason; you will know when I get there," said Gohan and disappeared.

Gohan appeared inside Iceberg's house and knocked on his door. He waited for Iceberg to open the door, but just as the door opened, he saw Iceberg pointing his gun at him. "Ohhh!! Calm down, Mr. Mayor! I am not some assassin. I am here to tell you something very important," said Gohan with a smile.

But Iceberg didn't budge and kept his gun pointed at Gohan's face. "What would a famous pirate like you want to tell me this late at night?" asked Iceberg with a serious expression. "Nothing much, just that you are being targeted by CP9, and they are planning to assassinate you tomorrow," said Gohan.

"What?? Cipher Pol? Since when?" asked Iceberg in shock. He somewhat believed Gohan because he already knew that someday he would be targeted by them. "They have been watching you for a long time. Now that we have come to this island, they have a perfect scapegoat to kill you and put the blame on," replied Gohan.

Iceberg lowered his gun and asked, "What do you want from me?" "I want you to come with me. Before you refuse, believe me, you will not regret going with me," said Gohan with a mysterious smile. "Where are we going?" asked Iceberg. "Train station! Agents of CP9 are already there, and my crewmates are about to reach the station," replied Gohan.

"Are you guys serious?! You know if you fight with them, you will be going against The World Government," warned Iceberg. "Oh? Fortunately, we are pirates, or we might have been in big trouble," said Gohan with sarcasm.

Iceberg's lips twitched, but he stayed silent. "Now, we have to pick up Franky. Let's see where he is right now. Hmm... Ah, there he is! Let's go!" said Gohan. "What? How do you know about him? Who the hell are you?!" asked Iceberg in shock. "Don't worry about the small details," said Gohan as he grabbed Iceberg, and both of them disappeared.

When they appeared inside Franky's hideout, Franky was sleeping. So Gohan didn't wake him up and grabbed him with his other hand and disappeared.

Meanwhile, the sea train finally arrived at the station. Jabra, Kumadori, and Fukurou came out from the train. "Oh? Look who has come to welcome us, Rob Lucci himself," mocked Jabra. "We have come to help you guys Chapapa," said Fukurou, while Kumadori just made weird poses.

Merry crossed her arms and started walking around them. "So you guys are the ones they were waiting for. I must say, you don't look strong at all. Just wait for everyone else to come here, and then I will take care of you guys by myself," she said with a confident smile.

But suddenly someone appeared behind her and said, "Hello, everyone!" greeted Nero while Merry got frightened and fell down comically. "Hm? Are you the new guy?" asked Kaku. "Yes, I am Nero. It's an honor to work

with you guys," said Nero with a smile.

Merry got up and looked around to see if anyone saw her sorry state, but she remembered that nobody could see her except for the Straw Hats. So she sighed in relief. But suddenly, she looked towards Robin with a nervous expression.

She saw that Robin was looking at her while trying hard not to laugh. Merry's face turned red in embarrassment. She looked at Nero with a furious expression. "You dare to embarrass me on my first mission! I will make you pay!" shouted Merry and jumped while shouting, "Take this!! Meteor Kick!!!"

But since she couldn't jump high enough, the kick landed on... You know where. Nero's eyes widened, and his face turned red, then blue. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted because of the pain.
