Conflict Arises

Back to the conference room, this time it's Xin, Mikako and Hiyori left while on the other side are the Cipher Pol officers.

Cipher Pol is a series of secret agencies who do investigations, assassinations and espionage for the World Government.

The various Cipher Pol cells are stationed throughout the world and investigate for the World Government. They supplement the Intelligence Branch of the World Government's Marine forces, but seem to operate more as a counter-insurgency agency that also has more general law enforcement duties.

They have some authority regarding recruitment for the Marines, even dealing with the Underworld for unique individuals. If they encounter pirates, they will apprehend them, but, as an agency, Cipher Pol seems to focus more on political threats to the World Government than more generic criminals.

There are eight official Cipher Pols that are numbered from CP1 to CP8, with two unofficial units named CP9 and CP0. In general, the higher the Cipher Pol agency's number, the more important the tasks assigned to them.

Cipher Pol No. 9 has the license to kill any citizen that does not cooperate with the World Government or acts contrary to its interests. Because such a radical method of applying justice by the World Government should not be common knowledge, this group is a top secret organization.

CP0 is known to the public, but is different from the other units in that its members work directly as enforcers for the World Nobles, and thus are the strongest agency.

In order to exceed the limits of the human body, CP9 agents receive special training since their childhood. In order to become a full-fledged member of CP9, the agents must master a martial arts style that is called Rokushiki.

The training also has somewhat of a mind-molding process so that Cipher Pol agents only learn how to be assassins and that this is their only profession. Rob Lucci, for example, was not capable of feeling gratitude or mercy.

The members received individual training, but they also trained together a lot.

Right now, the officials come, and they silently leave their own ship far away from the island.

"So what is your business coming to our small department?" Xin asked.

"We come to take the prisoner,"

"Prisoner? You mean those intruders?"

"That's right, we are going to transfer all of them to Impel Down, where they will wait for their court judgment."

"Well I can't do that, they still need to be interrogated meticulously, after all, the Guild is not just a small department of the Marine that they can come and go as they please... right… Mr. Officer."

The officer finally said," I think you don't need to try to act like a fool, right Guild Master Xin, you know what I mean?"

"You mean give the people back to the person who wants to attack us and forget about the destruction they did to my Guild?

"Is that what you mean?" Xin starts to release his own pressure, this pressure comes from his own experience being a Captain of Soul Squad.

"You're just a small part of us so you don't have the right to question what we want to do."

"So you can kill us whatever you want? It seems you are forgetting what the Guild represents?"

"The World Government represents all the Noble and Celestial Dragons from the Holy Land."

The Marien Represents as the Justice of the Sea and Land."

"While Guild Represent the poor and ordinary people,"

Xin looked at them calmly," Now tell me Mr. Officer, do you think normal people are your pet that can kill anytime you want?"

"We don't care whatever you represent those normal people, what we want is our man back."

"So you finally admitted that they come from you and you try to attack my department?"

"It seems you forgot something important, Officer Xin," Finally they show their fangs, they don't even bother to respect Xin's position.

For them Xin is just a small officer that they can remove whatever they want.

"You release them and accept the juridical judgment that will come to you."

"He~ it seems you also forgot something important, you attack us to become you want to remove the Guild."

"You attack us because the World Government is scared that our power will become stronger and finally can't hold us anymore right?"

That's right Xin is right, they fear that one day they cant hold the Guild anymore, they don't want 3rd power to appear along their line so they need to at least weaken it before they become even stronger.

"But it seems you're too late, the Guild never becomes weak in the first place, the Guild is always strong and becoming stronger and stronger."

"That fact is hard to accept and you cant stop it even you did this kind of stupid conspiracy."

Hearing what Xi said, the thing they fear most finally comes, the guild already has the strait that they can't stop at all.

"Are you pushing us to use a radical move at your Guild, Officer Xin?"

"What kind of move?"

"Buster Call."

"Hehehe~ Buster Call? Then help the Marine pull their warship out of the Enies Lobby first before threatening us."

"And please, if you don't have money to pay the ransom, then you can go out."

"Mikako, how much is the ransom again?"

"10,000,000 Belli for each Prisoner."

"Ten million!! Are you fooling us!!"

"That's right, ten million, whether you take it or not, you can also wait for them to rot inside of our prison." Mikako said.

"Let's go, let's ask the Elder first."

The officer angrily stood up and shot a deadly glare at them.

"Watch your step, don't fall and take care."

"Hmmmp!"
