Upon hearing this, Iceberg could no longer keep his composure.

He trembled as he slammed his hands on the desk, shouting, "Who exactly are you?"

Noir fixed his gaze on Iceberg and said, "Noir, just a passerby who respects Tom."

Iceberg was stunned, instinctively thinking he was joking.

Does anyone still remember Tom?

But when he saw the seriousness in Noir's expression, Iceberg couldn’t help but believe him a little.

However, he couldn't understand and asked, "Why are you looking for Franky? What do you want from him?"

"I'm interested in his skills, particularly his weapon-making ability," Noir replied honestly. Meeting Franky was all about his craftsmanship.

The reward from the system related to Franky could only be about his skills, right?

Iceberg sat back on the sofa, trying to calm himself as he said, "How can I trust you?"

Noir smiled and said, "If I were a bad person, I would've already threatened you instead of wasting time talking."

"Pluton's blueprints are just that, blueprints. Who knows if anyone in this world can even build it? Why would I be interested?"

Iceberg remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Franky has formed a group called the Franky Family and does ship dismantling work on the shore."

In reality, apart from his identity, Franky's location wasn't really a secret, people in Water 7 knew about it, so there was no point in hiding it from Noir.

Now, Iceberg could only hope that Noir was being truthful about having no interest in Pluton.

Iceberg handed Noir a slip of paper with the address on it, and Noir smiled as he said, "Thanks!"

Having achieved his goal, Noir got up to leave but seemed to remember something and said, "Mayor, a word of advice, be cautious of the people around you."

Iceberg frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Noir responded, "The government you fear has already planted people close to you."

Iceberg's face darkened as he immediately denied it, "Impossible! Who?"

"Your secretary, for one. Oh, and two shipwrights, Kaku and Lucci."

Iceberg looked at him in disbelief and said, "How could that be? Lucci and the others have been with me for..."

Noir shook his head and explained, "Rob Lucci, known as the strongest CP9 agent in 800 years, is indeed a true agent."

Seeing that Iceberg was still in disbelief, Noir turned to leave, saying, "You'll understand soon enough."

"CP9 should be making their move against me soon. Where is your secretary?"

In just a few seconds, the place turned into an iron prison.

The narrow alley was now almost devoid of light, making it difficult to discern directions using sight alone.

At this moment, a door-shaped outline appeared in the air, and then it seemed as if a hole had opened in the void. Inside the green dimension, several figures emerged.

Four people in total, all wearing black uniforms and masks. The leader had a white pigeon perched on his shoulder.

Noir looked at their leader and said with a smile, "Rob Lucci, your pigeon is too recognizable, so there's no point in hiding anymore."

Lucci didn't react to this, quietly removing his disguise, and the three behind him also took off their masks.

If they were going to take them off, why did they wear them in the first place?

Noir didn’t understand.

Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, and the Door-Door Fruit user Bruno, who had been undercover in a bar, were all here.

Out of CP9's seven members, four had shown up. It was clear they were determined to succeed.

Being confined like a caged animal, Enel was the first to lose his temper.

"You're dead meat!"

Enel struck his drums, and lightning formed the shape of a dragon behind him, charging forward and illuminating the dark space.

But the CP9 agents on the other side remained unfazed. Bruno quickly activated his ability, using the Door-Door Fruit to effortlessly absorb the Thunder Dragon.

In the next moment, Bruno stomped on the ground and shouted, "Rankyaku!"

The sharp Rankyaku slash struck the ground, clearing away the top layer of soil, leaving only a layer of dust.

With the soil removed, the ground beneath was revealed to be made of the same black metal wall.

Enel, already feeling unwell, now found the sensation even stronger. His body weakened, and he almost collapsed.

Wyper quickly caught Enel, saying in shock, "Could this be... Seastone?"

"That's right," Lucci finally spoke.

"In this room made of Seastone, your abilities won't work."

Noir clicked his tongue and said, "Quite the big move, pulling out all the stops to deal with me."

But then again, his Devil Fruit powers weren't affected by such things.

Besides, with the talents he copied from Hawkeye, his combat strength had long since shifted from Devil Fruit abilities to swordsmanship!
