Chapter 24

In contrast to the joyful mood on the Golden Hind, a warship bearing the World Government logo was gloomy.

"Saint Ronald can no longer be contacted, and no word from him. Are you really a good Marine?!" The white-masked CP0 agent glared angrily at the vice admiral in front of him.

"If you can't find him, World Nobel will not spare you."

"Humph, don't try to threaten me, CP0." Facing CP0's intimidation, Onigumo said while holding his knife calmly.

"I didn't come here to investigate the World Nobel matter. You invited us by force when we were investigating colonel Nezumi's corruption."

"The Five Elders assigned this task to you, and you are in charge of the investigation."

"You!" CP9 pointed at Onigumo angrily.

CP0 himself knew that what Onigumo said was true. The reason why he recruited Onigumo for this mission was none other than to further accelerate the progress of his mission.

If he cannot provide news to the Five Elders, his position as CP0 will be revoked.

But there was nothing he could do. The sea is vast, and without any witnesses to assist him, it is difficult to establish the attacker's identity.

So far, in order to find the attackers of the Tenryuubito, many pirates from East Blue have been destroyed by them.

Even the Sea Kings who might have eaten the Tenryuubito's body were beheaded!

But all these efforts yielded no results; no one could find the assailant.

"Huh? Wasn't that the pirate group that had attacked Nezumi's ship?" Vice Admiral Onigumo was surprised to see the Golden Hind approaching them.

"How dare they show themselves in front of us. As long as I'm here, they won't be able to escape!" Onigumo walked towards the bow while taking out his sword.

Although Colonel Nezumi's corruption is proven right, but the pirate dares to attack the navy!

"You need to go to prison to atone for your crimes."

CP0, who no longer wants to see Onigumo decides to go to Golden Hind using Geppo.

But when he wanted to squat down, he saw a red figure flying from the pirate ship!

***

*Ding!*

[Devil Fruit detected.]

Hearing the system's sound, Vermillion looked at the warship not far ahead.

"I think the Devil Fruit is in that ship."

"Vice Admiral Onigumo and CP0? What a shame... since you guys have hidden Devil Fruits, I have to take them."

Turning to his side, Vermillion said, "Emiya, do you want to go?"

"Although your strength still hasn't reached the pinnacle, but with your Nobel Phantasms it shouldn't be a problem to defeat them."

"As you wish, Master." Emily stepped forward.

"Continuous cooking makes me feel a bit bored. Besides that the Devil Fruit should be able to increase my strength."

"Good luck." Vermillion smiled.

"If you need help, I'll tell Drake to shoot."

"Emiya, don't worry, my cannon will keep you in track." Drake patted her chest proudly.

"I don't know why, but what you said pissed me off a little. Letting your cannon keep me in track?" Emiya shook his head.

"Forget it; I'll go." Shortly after, Emiya ferociously jumped toward the World Government's ship.

***

Onigumo didn't try to attack Emiya. Instead, he let the man board entered his ship.

Holding his sharp sword, Onigumo looked at Emiya calmly.

"Dare to jump into the warship with strong firepower and enter the enemy's camp alone... you are indeed a brave man."

CP0 walked over to Onigumo's side.

"I don't know if you are very brave or just stupid."

"I'm not here to chat with you guys. If you can, hand over the treasure on board." Emiya projected two swords with his magic.

"If not, then a battle will ensue."

"Hmm? Devil fruit abilities?"

"There are indeed some people in the world who have eaten Devil Fruit who think that they are invincible."

"And people like that tend to die quickly." Onigumo said after seeing Emiya's action of summoning a sword out of thin air.

"Are you the one who killed Colonel Nezumi?" Onigumo took out his sword.

"Onigumo, stop talking and kill that man immediately. We still have important things to do." CP0 spoke.

"Humph... looks like a battle is unavoidable." Emiya crossed his swords, "In that case, please forgive me."

Emiya immediately controlled his two swords in the air, then the two swords flew toward Onigumo.

After Onigumo managed to dodge the attack, he dashed toward Emiya and was about to counterattack him.

But the two swords reappeared and blocked his attack!

Onigumo swung his sword to dispel the opponent's attacks. Still, the two swords kept coming back and trying to attack him continuously.

As a Vice Admiral, his combat experience was extremely rich. Otherwise, he might have been pierced by the opponent's swords!
