175. Venice

175. Venice

The ship soon arrived at an harbor that was exclusive to the ships that were not affiliated to any organizations, which in other words meant Pirates. Everyone was excited as along the shores they could see many people being building or remodeling the ships. It meant that the people here were specialized in ship building.

This was great news for everyone.

"Merry, we will soon make you better, and then we can set sail again." Ussop was very happy, thinking that at this place they would get some much-needed rest and recuperate.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

"Zoro, you guard the ship, and we will go and exchange the gold for some money." Nami said.

"Doctor-san, do you want to come with me?" Robin said she wasn't interested in the part about exchanging gold for money.

"Calling me a doctor doesn't make me happy at all, you idiot." Chopper got into his usual routine and started dancing, while being happy.

"Let me join you. Vivi gave each of us a walkie-talkie that would help us contact each other. When you get to Iceburg-san, do call us." Ken said. There was no way he was going to leave Robin now. There were CP9 agents here, and he was pretty sure that these people would be more serious with them than they were in the actual story.

Their bounty was already high, and even though CP9 were arrogant, that didn't mean that they didn't do their job effectively. Robin was their target from the get-go, along with Franky. So both of them were on Ken's main agenda.

Though Robin found it odd that Ken had decided to join them, she didn't refuse. Vivi soon gave each of them a very long-distance walkie-talkie, and the crew divided into two teams. One was Robin, Chopper, and Ken. And the others were Sanji, Nami, Luffy, and Ussop.

Zoro and Vivi would safeguard the boat. Vivi wasn't ready to go because she was a princess, and it might not look good for the kingdom if some people recognized her. Her face had already been posted in different newspapers, and thus she needed to avoid the limelight for the moment.

"What is it?"

"Something that I have been waiting for a long time." Ken spoke in a serious tone. But his voice was also quivering. Shaking in excitement.

"Ken.. You are making me scared. Is there any danger?" Chopper asked.

"Danger? No. It's just danger for somebody else." Ken replied, and as if to put a verification stamp on his words, a tall, 7-foot man wearing a huge mask appeared near them. He looked bulky and had huge muscles.

Robin stiffened in his position as she wondered how this man had come so close to him while Ken was still holding her hand.

"Nico Robin, we are from CP9."

The man whispered in her ears. Ken didn't stop this small interaction. Chopper was also surprised, as he saw the man but didn't hear what he had just whispered; only Ken did.

Ken, seeing the whole body shape, knew who the agent of CP9 was. Blueno. The one with the door-to-door fruit That fruit too was quite broken, and if this guy had some brains and character, then maybe he would have been a great adversary.

But all went to waste due to being a side character. Blueno, after speaking of his identity, chose to sidestep and leave. He was confident that Nico Robin would take the right step and choose to safeguard the lives of straw hats. Their names would always be accompanied by horror for those who knew of them.

He didn't put the straw hats in his eyes even though they had such a high bounty and just thought of a new bunch of upcoming pirates who didn't know anything about the world.
