177. Let her take the stage
Blueno didn't speak any more and vanished into the crowd. Others in the plaza were moving around as usual, not knowing that a small tussle of strength had happened.
"Ken, why did you let him go?" Chopper asked as he was sure that Ken could overpower him and he was from CP9. They had faced CP9 in Alabasta and they had made a mess there. They needed to be taken down.
"No. There are others on this island. If we take care of him, the others will be alerted and might escape. I don't want any escapees this time." Ken said. Scaring Blueno was the only way he could bring all the CP9 agents in the same place and take care of them. Ken had done his job and now he needed to wait.
"There are others too. We need to alert Luffy and others." Chopper said.
"No. He is too much of an idiot and will destroy the plan. Let it flow naturally. I am keeping an eye on them using my Haki."
Meanwhile, Blueno, who had vanished from the crowd had went to his bar that he had opened near the Galley-la company and it acted as the point of exchange of all information related to the secretive outside world which the CP organizations sent information over.
He went straight to the bar and took out his den den mush and dialed a number.
"Third paradise."
"Under Holy Knights. Blueno."
"..."
"Go ahead Blueno, the channel is secure."
"Our cover has been blown. The demon isn't cooperating. Permission to take matters fast and request support."
"..."
"How did the cover get blown?"
"I don't know. The other party seems to know of us and challenges the order."
"So this is Straw Hat Luffy. If we can catch him, we will be rich."
"This must be Sniper Ussop." Oh, he too has a huge bounty."
"That's black leg, Sanji." Oh, we have hit quite the number."
Luffy and Ussop, who were pulling faces at each other, stopped fooling around and looked at them. Luffy was coming forward to take on these people since they had come here on the scent of money and bounty.
He was about to make a move when Nami stopped him and said,
"This time, let me take care of them."
"Nami!!" - Luffy.
"That is awesome, Nami."
"Nami-swan is the best." -Sanji
Luffy, respecting her decision, stepped back and let Nami take the stage.
"You guys didn't mention me. Don't I have a bounty?" Nami suddenly had fiery eyes as she looked at the Franky boys.
"You are.. You are a cat burglar, Nami." One of the boys finally recognized her.
"Good eyes. Sadly, it's too late." Nami said as she moved her hands and feet in a martial arts way. The Franky boys were confused at the beginning, but then, out of nowhere, a sudden huge gust of wind hit four of the Franky boys, and before they knew it, they were blown away from their place to a few dozens of meters back. They got dragged on the ground for quite a distance before finally stopping.
The Franky boys had their eyes wide open and jaws falling to the ground.
"KILL HER!!" One of the frantic boys said so, and in no time they took their small pistols and shot at her. Nami, in the meantime, had her staff in her hand and blew at them.
