Chapter 622: Top Secret of CP Department

...

Aboard the Merry.

"How strange! There is no one on the ship. How did the Merry arrive at Judicial Island by itself?!"

Everyone looked puzzled.

"Hey, Straw Hat Pirates, have you ever heard of the Ship Spirit?"

Kaku, who had been sitting nearby and thinking about life, spoke up.

"Ship Elf?"

"Yes!"

Kaku began to explain.

"There is such a legend circulating among us shipwrights!"

"It is said that when the crew really cherishes the ship, the ship will also be grateful to the crew and will do its best to send the crew to their destination safely. It may even transform into a spirit to guard the ship."

"You mean Merry?"

Usopp's expression was excited, with tears in his eyes. He had seen a white figure repairing the Merry before, and thought he was just dazzled by sleep.

"Yes, this ship has a ship spirit. It should feel very happy to go on adventures with you!"

Kaku looked up at the goat's head on the bow, and recalled the night before the arrival of the water gods, when he met the ship elf in the scrapyard who asked him to repair it.

"Merry! So you've been protecting us all along! Woohoo! It's so nice of you to come pick us up!"

Everyone was moved, but when they learned that the repairs Kaku had done to the Merry were only temporary and that this might be the ship's last voyage, the atmosphere became heavy again.

"Let's leave this sea area first. I don't know if the navy will chase us!"

Robin reminded.

The Merry continues to move at full speed on the sea!

...

"Hoohoo! Finally safe!"

Now that they are out of danger, the Straw Hat Pirates can finally relax a little.

"Woohoo! I survived! That's great!"

Usopp's legs went weak and he knelt on the deck.

"Hey Luffy! Everyone, thank you for coming to save me! I said such harsh words before! I even said I would leave you, I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! Wuwuwu!"

Usopp cried and apologized.

"Hahahaha, don't worry about it! And Usopp, you just can't let go of the Merry!"

Luffy, unable to move, lay on the ground and accepted the other party's apology with a laugh.

"I'm sorry, Usopp, and everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates. Everything started because of me. Their real goal is to arrest me!"

Kaku began to narrate the cause and process of the whole incident.

He was originally an orphan adopted by the World Government's CP department. When he was 13 years old, he was taken away from the base by the former CP9 commander Spandine.

On the ship he accidentally overheard the officer's shocking secret!

As the highest officer of CP9, Spandain actually took advantage of his position to take away some clever children from Guanhao Island all year round. However, it was not because he valued the talents that he brought the talented children to cultivate them, but he used them as gifts to curry favor with the rich and powerful! !

Kaku felt a chill down his spine at the thought that he would soon be handed over to those perverted nobles who liked little boys, so he chose to jump off the boat and escape. Fortunately, he was rescued by a merchant ship and taken to the Seven Water City.

In order to prevent other orphans in the base from falling into the hands of Spandine, Kaku has been trying various methods over the years, such as writing letters of complaint to the "relevant departments" of the World Government and exposing the matter to newspapers. However, he did not expect that the other party was so powerful that even the World Economic News Agency, which usually liked to expose the black material of the World Government, chose to remain silent. This made Kaku depressed for a long time. Other reports also fell into the sea without any news, and instead exposed his own whereabouts.

So CP9 took Kaku's photo from ten years ago and divided into two groups and came to the Seven Water City to carry out the arrest mission. Unexpectedly, both groups completed the mission!

One of the groups mistakenly captured Usopp for Kaku, which led to the following story.

"Soga!! No wonder they captured Usopp, you two look so much alike!"

Luffy's "toilet" suddenly opened!

"That's right, it's exactly the same!"

Chopper nodded wildly.

"Asshole! How do they look alike?"

Usopp retorted, knocking both of them on the head.

"How horrible! They don't even let children go. I never thought the World Government's intelligence agency would be so dark and horrible!"

Nami couldn't help but sigh, and everyone began to criticize the World Government and expressed sympathy for Kaku's experience.

"Thank you for saving me. Please find an island for me to disembark. I've been targeted and can't go back to the Seven Waters to cause trouble for everyone."

Kaku said as he stood up.

Although he liked these guys very much after fighting side by side on Judicial Island, he also didn't want to stay on the ship and cause trouble for the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Hey! That won't do! I've decided to let you be our shipwright!"

Luffy said with a smile.

"Huh? I didn't promise you, Luffy! I told you I'd cause you big trouble!"

"Tsk, I don't care!"

Luffy said willfully.

"I am a man who wants to be the Pirate King. I am not afraid of such troubles! The World Government and the like, don't even think about hurting my friends!"

"There's nothing we can do about what the captain has decided. Although your nose looks unreliable, you still look much more reliable than Usopp."

Zoro raised the corner of his mouth and said coldly.

"Hey, hey, hey, Zoro! Who are you calling unreliable?"

"That's right! Welcome to join us. It's impossible to sail on the sea without a reliable shipwright!"

Nami smiled as well and held out her hand.

"Haha, even though the captain is usually unreliable, this ship is really interesting! This is the advice of the "senpai"."

Robin said in a teasing tone.

"Want a cigarette?"

Sanji handed over a cigarette to express his goodwill.

"Great! A new partner with great fighting ability has joined us! Usopp, we are safer now!"

Usopp and Chopper hugged each other and celebrated happily.
