#94 - Chapter 94: Ming Ge suffers, CP9 takes the blame

"Damn it, you guys were sent by Doflamingo!"

"No wonder, stuffing moles into the Navy, it's not the first time he's used this trick."

"If he could send Vergo to infiltrate the Navy, he could naturally send you guys too."

When Donquixote Rosinante heard that there was such a good thing as wrongly accusing his brother, he immediately perked up and seized the opportunity to cooperate with Hyuga Tenma, pinning a huge blame on Donquixote Doflamingo, and welding it on tight.

"Pirates!"

"Miss Kalifa, she's actually a pirate."

"Donquixote Doflamingo's people."

"Just like Vergo."

With Donquixote Rosinante providing an example, listing Vergo as a negative example, and with Kalifa admitting it herself, the Navy soldiers who had originally surrounded Hyuga Tenma were all disheartened and stepped back, making way for him.

Not long ago, due to Hyuga Tenma's actions, Vergo's identity was exposed early, causing a huge sensation at the Navy Headquarters.

Having this precedent, and then pinning the blame on Donquixote Doflamingo, they naturally chose to believe it.

After all, on the way to Minion Island, they had heard Donquixote Rosinante tell them that it was with Hyuga Tenma's help that Vergo's undercover identity was exposed.

Having a precedent of a 'thief-identifying expert,' they had no reason not to believe it.

After all, the people in the pirate world, whether Navy or Navy, are much easier to deceive than the ninjas in the Naruto world.

"You, all go back to the ship first!"

"I will personally report this matter to Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

"First Vergo, and now four more."

"Doflamingo is simply lawless."

As long as it benefits targeting Doflamingo, Donquixote Rosinante spares no effort.

No choice.

Doflamingo personally executed his biological father in front of him.

For Tenma.

For the Navy.

He must make Doflamingo suffer, and then let CP9 take the blame.

"Yes."

"Commodore Rosinante."

Being repeatedly deceived and manipulated, and feeling that the Navy goddess filter for Kalifa had been shattered, the Navy soldiers all dragged their heavy steps towards the warship.

"I think it's not Doflamingo who's lawless, but you two."

"Hyuga Tenma."

"Rosinante."

As the numerous Navy soldiers retreated, Kalifa stopped pretending, her beautiful face frosty, and she shouted in a cold voice.

"The World Government has a knife to my neck, am I supposed to just wait for death?"

Hyuga Tenma smiled coldly.

"Who told you to be so ignorant and try to get your hands on the Op-Op Fruit!"

Kalifa said with righteous indignation.

"So, if the World Government puts a knife to your neck, you'd choose to wait for death!"

Hyuga Tenma wasn't angry.

"That kind of thing will never happen."

Kalifa scoffed.

She didn't know that in the future, during the Enies Lobby incident, the World Government would choose to eliminate them, CP9.

At that time, they also chose to resist.

"Then, why don't any of you know Haki?"

"CIPHER POL, as the World Government's most trusted intelligence agency, CP9 is even the organization at the top of CIPHER POL, except for CP0."

"Why don't you CP9 members know Armament Haki, which even New World Navy soldiers use?"

Hyuga Tenma asked with interest.

"You."

Kalifa's pretty face was still covered with frost, but the eyes behind her glasses flickered.

She was a woman.

Compared to the other male members of CP9, she often paid attention to more unnoticed details.

Like Haki.

Logically speaking, an organization like CP9 should have a Haki training method for everyone.

As a result, even Rob Lucci, who was known as the strongest in CP9's 800-year history, didn't know Haki until he joined CP0.

"Because you are just a knife."

"A butcher knife specifically used to do dirty and disgusting things for the World Government."

"Once you're used up, of course, you'll be broken."

"But if the knife is too hard and too sharp, it's easy to hurt your hand when breaking it."

Hyuga Tenma walked around to Kalifa, changing from back-to-back to face-to-face, looking into each other's eyes.

"Say what you want."

"Anyway, the winner is king, the loser is the villain."

"Since the mission failed and I fell into your hands, it's just death."

Kalifa looked away after meeting Hyuga Tenma's eyes.

She knew that what Hyuga Tenma said might be true, but none of it mattered anymore.

The moment the mission failed and she was captured by the other party.

She no longer had a future to speak of.

"Tenma, what are you going to do with them?"

Donquixote Rosinante asked.

"You go back first, Rosy."

"This matter can't be hidden for long."

"After things are exposed, remember to cut ties with me completely, tell everyone that you were a poor judge of character and were deceived by me."

Hyuga Tenma didn't answer, but reminded Donquixote Rosinante.

"What do you take me for?"

"At worst."

"I'll just take off this uniform."

Donquixote Rosinante was a little dissatisfied.

He could risk his life for Trafalgar Law, so naturally, he could also go through thick and thin for Hyuga Tenma, whom he regarded as a friend.

"Law is still in the Naval Academy!"

Hyuga Tenma shook his head.

In the pirate world, he only had two friends, and only two friends with a favorability rating close to 90.

So, he didn't want to see Donquixote Rosinante and Trafalgar Law being implicated by him.

"This."

Mentioning Trafalgar Law, Donquixote Rosinante instantly went silent.

At this time, he remembered that he was no longer the Rosinante who was alone.

Now, he had his adoptive father Sengoku, Trafalgar Law whom he regarded as a son, and his close friend Hyuga Tenma.

"It's good to keep this Navy skin on."

"At least until Law grows up, this Navy skin is a protection for you and for him."

Hyuga Tenma warned Donquixote Rosinante not to act on impulse.

"Then what about you?"

"This time CP9 failed, next time it might be CP0."

"Or even a Navy Admiral."

Donquixote Rosinante's face was full of undisguised worry.

"It's okay."

"Back then, I was all alone, and didn't even have the Op-Op Fruit, but I still lived freely."

"Even the World Government can't do anything to me."

Hyuga Tenma was very steady in his heart.

Not to mention that the pirate world is vast and boundless, even if a powerful force like the World Government wanted to find him in the vast sea, it wouldn't be an easy thing to do.

Even if they found him, with a time-space door in hand, he could advance or retreat.

From the beginning, he was in an invincible position.

Moreover, this time he obtained the Haki training method, and even the Six Styles are beckoning to him.

In the future, as long as he develops a little, he will definitely be able to stand at the top of the world.

At that time, it is still unknown whether the World Government will come to settle accounts with him, or he will settle accounts with the World Government!

On the other hand, once Donquixote Rosinante leaves the Navy and loses that Navy skin, even Sengoku will not be able to protect him, as well as Trafalgar Law.

Just like Garp.

Unless Ace chooses to become a Navy soldier, even a hero is powerless.
