Buster Call

"Is there really a problem with the pigeon guy? What was his name again? Ah.. Lucci.. I thought he was the calm one." Ussop was surprised and said. He, like others didn't expect that Lucci was actually a CP9 agent.

One could really not judge someone from the face.

"How do you know that the CP9 is here?" Nami asked Ken.

"It's because they threatened me." It was Robin who replied.

"What?"

"How dare someone threaten the beautiful Robin-chwan."

"Once beating them up didn't teach them a lesson. We will need to show what we are." - Ussop still had the pride in his face for taking down Nero from Alabasta.

They were all angry that Robin was put in harm's way and thanked that Ken was nearby to take care. They wanted to revenge of course.

"Let's go and beat him up." Luffy declared.

"Yes.. Yes.." Followed by Sanji and Ussop but Ken came forward and stopped.

"If I wanted revenge, wouldn't I have gone and beaten them?" Ken replied.

"Then why didn't you?" Luffy argued back.

"It's because if we take one person down, it wouldn't mean anything and they will just scatter away. We will need to catch all of them in a single net." Ken said. This stopped everyone from acting impulsively and think about the words of Ken.

From the words of Ken it already meant that there were multiple agents here and they need to catch everyone in one go. With that, everyone calmed down.

"Wait, why are the CP9 agents here? To catch us? But our bounties hadn't gone up in such a long time." Ussop said, still salty about the fact that he hadn't gotten his bounty update after fighting with Nero.

"No. They have another important matter in addition to taking Robin." Ken denied that the agents were here to catch them.

"We need to go back to the ship. And talk with Jabra. We need to know what they are planning." Nami said. Everybody agreed. They were back on the ship, where Zoro spoke of Kaku. He also said that he didn't like him.

"Kaku!? That Ussop guy?"

"I am not him," Ussop shouted.

"Zoro, you can also tell that someone is right or wrong?" Luffy was surprised that Zoro was able to feel something off about another guy. Zoro's completion of Yoriichi was very close to 100%, and thus he had already started to see the world a lot differently now.

He had his emotions in check, could sense all the weak points of a person, and had been developing extraordinary perception like some kind of sixth sense. Now, coupled with observation haki, it had become much more powerful.

Ussop and Nami were more surprised that a square-nosed guy was a bad one and was an agent of CP9. Then they proceeded to talk about the agents of CP9 and asked Vivi to contact Jabra.

Vivi nodded and started producing a very long-range emitter in order to catch the signal from Jabra's phone. They had no satellites here for their normal calls, so they needed to use special equipment to make long-distance calls.

After establishing a long pole with a dish and finding the correct signal, Vivi dialed Jabra's phone.

"Hello.."

"Jabra, is that you?" Nami took the phone and said

"Ah, Nami-san, how are you?" Jabra answered with a quite excited tone. Robin was happy that her move was still very applicable.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me if you are safe." Nami asked.

"Nami-san, you don't have to worry about me. I am perfectly fine here and working out so that I can enter CP0." Those words by Jabra made Sanji very angry, and he almost wanted to travel through the phone and hit Jabra again. This shit was trying to flirt with Nami. How could he accept?

"Good. Now tell me, what is the plan of the superior? Is there any recent action to be taken in Water 7?"

"Uh. Oh yes. I forgot to mention. The asshole Spandam had gotten his hands on the Buster Call." Jabra said it with more sincerity now. This made Robin, who had been at peace, shudder. She didn't expect to hear the word "buster call" again.

The order that destroyed her home The order that destroyed her family She could never forget that. Ken put his hand on her shoulder to assure her that it was just trauma.

"What is Buster calling?" Luffy asked while munching on some chips along with Ussop. Ken then proceeded to explain what Buster Call was.

"So it's just a bunch of ships destroying everything. It's like how we did on our island and took care of the people around us. Hahaha.." Luffy said.

"Here people die," Vivi said.

"So your superior has a weapon to blow up an island. Any more information?" Nami didn't want to hold Jabra for too long and asked.

"I don't know much. I only know that Spandam might be going to Water 7. Wait, Nami-san, are you in Water 7? You need to get out with the other straw hats. Captain, are you there?" Jabra almost shouted as he seemed tensed. Luffy, hearing him, took the phone.

"Yo!"

"Captain. Ah. Thank god. You need to get out. If the Buster Call starts, it might get ugly, captain." Jabra seemed genuinely scared. Buster's call was a cleansing that everybody feared.

"Don't worry about us. You make sure to hide." Luffy said.

"Hai Captain. You need to take care of yourself too." Jabra said that, and with that, the call ended. Jabra genuinely seemed to care about the straw hats and considered himself a crew member. Robin really inserted all the details.

"So we can expect a Buster Call." Ken sighed.

"That shouldn't be. If we take care of the CP9 agents, then they wouldn't know." Vivi said.

"No. They don't really care about their agents. They are mostly used and thrown. But it's a matter of pride for their superior, Spandam. So his ego might help us." Ken said.
