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."
"Understood. Appropriate actions will be taken. Gather the others and wrap it by evening. It is predicted that the Aqua Laguna is coming. Third paradise out."
Ka-cha.
The call ended with ever secretive exchange of words. The third paradise mentioned in the call was the Enies Lobby. After ending the call, Blueno dialed the number once again and tried to call the other members of the CP9 who were with him here, but surprisingly the call didn't go through. He got agitated a little and after multiple calls he understood that he needed to talk to them face to face.
With that thought in mind he left the bar and went to Galley-la.
Meanwhile, the other group was busy heckling with the jewellery shops while selling the gold and getting money in exchange. Of course, Nami was the forefront of it and was bargaining with everyone on everything. She wasn't ready to sell the old gold which even had ornaments on it, cheaply and wanted to be paid the right price.
In fact, she wanted more money in exchange. So this went on for an hour and a half. It became so tiring that Luffy and Ussop decided to have food while Nami bargained. After selling almost all the gold to the shops, the group became loaded with money.
"Come in, Ken. Come in." Luffy spoke while taking out his walkie-talkie. He was crying when he spoke the words. He was crying not out of sadness but because he was too excited. Using the walkie-talkie always made Luffy very excited.
"This is Ken; what do you want idiot Luffy?" came the answer from the walkie-talkie. And in the next moment, Ussop was hit in the head by Sanji.
"Stop imitating Ken." Nami shouted. Luffy understood what was going on and started fighting with Ussop, not realizing that the voice on the walkie-talkie couldn't be Ken's. His brain cells really couldn't recognize faces or voices.
After all, the eyes of the Monkey King still failed to give the face recognition. What a tragedy.
"Ken speaking. Go on." Finally, Ken replied.
"Ah Ken. We have sold the gold. We are going to meet Iceberg and ask for help. Do you want to come?" -Luffy said
"Ah of.." Chopper, who was going to reply, was stopped by Ken while putting his hand on his mouth. Chopper wanted to free himself but couldn't.
"Chopper needs to buy some medical supplies. We will be there as fast as we can." Ken replied instead.
"Oh, okay," Nami replied. She didn't doubt Ken at all. With that, the call ended. Of course, Luffy became angry for not being able to talk to his brother and was shouting at Nami, only to be schooled by Sanji for disrespecting Nami.
While they had their shenanigans, the three boys did notice that various men had been slowly surrounding them when they passed through a quite lonely lane. It was the Franky boys.
"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.
