Chapter 128: Prepare to Take Action Against CP!

Chapter 128: Prepare to Take Action Against CP!

Seven Waters.

"Hahaha! You seriously claim to be part of the Handyman squad of the Dragon Hunter Pirates?"

"That's hilarious!"

"Hell, why not just say you're the captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates?"

"Wait, there's actually a squad for Handyman?"

In the heart of CP4, a tall, gaunt man named Fagula stood with his boot pressed down on Gunado's chest.

At that moment, Gunado was shackled by seastone chains.

He couldn't use his abilities at all.

"You'll regret this soon," Gunado growled, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. "The Dragon Hunter Pirates will come... and they'll tear you apart!"

Ptui!

He spat blood straight into Fagula's face. Not a hint of fear or begging in his eyes.

He was a proud member of the Dragon Hunter Pirates. Third Division Captain of Handyman.

No matter how small his role might seem, he carried the pride and trust of the crew.

Even in chains, Gunado had spine. He had glory.

"You damn bastard—you're asking for death!"

Fagula snarled and slammed his foot into Gunado, launching him across the room.

He crashed into the wall with a sickening thud, slumped to the ground, and vomited more blood.

But the look in Gunado eyes—still full of ridicule and disdain—stabbed straight into Fagula's pride.

And beneath that sting... a flicker of fear.

Yes. Fear.

That realization only enraged Fagula more.

He stormed over and began pummeling Gunado again in a blind rage.

By now, it was clear.

Gunado really was a member of the Dragon Hunter Pirates.

But a handyman? A low-tier grunt daring to mock CP4?

Ridiculous.

There was no way the Dragon Hunter Pirates would risk going to war with a World Government intelligence agency—for him.

"I'll show you who's coming to save you!"

"Drag him out. Hang him up in the port."

"If no one comes within five days... toss him into the sea as fish food."

At Fagula's command, several navy officers entered, grabbed Gunado, and dragged him out.

The Next Day. Aboard the Dragon Hunter Pirates' Ship.

"Navy... CP organization…"

"Perfect."

Ryuunosuke's voice was ice-cold as he listened to Roelki''s report.

A violent glint flashed in his eyes as bloodlust filled the air.

But just as quickly, he pulled it back.

He stood up and walked to the ship's bow, face blank but deadly calm.

If CP wanted to play games... then fine. He'd play along.

He picked up the Den Den Mushi and connected to Morgans.

"Captain Ryuunosuke! Need information?" Morgans chirped.

He loved clients like Ryuunosuke—straight to the point, no bullshit.

"I want the current location of all CP units across the Grand Line," Ryuunosuke said coolly. "And if you've got the whereabouts of any Celestial Dragons... send those too."

Morgans froze.

CP?

Celestial Dragons??

Was Ryuunosuke seriously thinking of going after them?

Even mentioning them was forbidden for most pirates. Attacking them?

That was practically a death wish.

What the hell was backing the Dragon Hunter Pirates that gave Ryuunosuke this kind of confidence?

"I won't charge you... but I want—"

"You can broadcast it live."

Ryuunosuke cut him off.

Morgans shot up from his chair.

A live broadcast!?

If this were done quietly, the World Government might not even trace it back to the culprit.

But a public broadcast? That was a declaration of war.

They'd go berserk. Mobilize fleets. Hunt down the Dragon Hunter Pirates with everything they had.

Was Ryuunosuke really that bold?

Morgans scrambled through his recent intel.

Only one thing related to the Dragon Hunter Pirates stood out—one of their handyman captains had been captured and strung up by the CP.

All this... over a handyman?

"Yeah," Ryuunosuke confirmed flatly. "Send the intel. Don't worry about the rest."

"I'll let your News Bird follow me for the next three months."

And with that, he ended the call.

Ryuunosuke stood at the bow, wind whipping through his coat.

They were setting course for Seven Waters.

---

Three Days Later. Seven Waters Dock.

"Hahaha! This is who's supposed to come after me!?"

Fagula laughed heartily as he stood by the port, Gunado hanging from a wooden post behind him.

"They really think the Dragon Hunter Pirates will show up over a damn handyman!?"

"They're a myth. Nothing but smoke and stories."

"It's been four days! If they were gonna come, they'd have come already."

He turned and spat on the ground.

"Let's be honest—this so-called 'Dragon Hunter Pirates' probably don't even exist."

But just then—

"L-Lord Fagula!"

A navy officer sprinted up, panting hard.

"The Dragon Hunter Pirates' ship—it's been sighted just offshore of Seven Waters!"

Fagula's grin froze.

No way...

Was this really happening?

Or just a coincidence?

Either way, this wasn't looking good.

Should he run?

"Hey... hey... hey…"

A broken chuckle echoed behind him.

It was Gunado.

Despite being bloodied, battered, and chained, he grinned like a madman.

"What's wrong, Fagula? Getting nervous?"

"Hehehe... HAHAHAHAHA!"

"You CP bastards! I told you... I warned you... no matter what kind of crap you think you are..."

"My Captain's coming for you."

"My Dragon Hunter Pirates don't abandon family!"

Fagula's fists clenched.

Gunado laughter was like nails on steel—grating, mocking, believing.

If Ryuunosuke asked him to give his life right now, Gunado wouldn't hesitate.

That's what real pride felt like.

"Fagula, get it together!" another CP agent barked.

This one was massive—built like a walking wall.

"So what if it's the Dragon Hunter Pirates? You really think they'll go up against the World Government?"

"We're CP! A direct agency!"

"Get the navy ready. We'll take them down."

"This so-called 'legendary pirate crew' is probably just hype."

Meanwhile, a familiar News Bird flew overhead.

"See that?" Fagula smirked. "The News Bird's here. That proves those rumors were crap."

"Ryuunosuke or whatever—he's nothing."

"A pirate group that can't even scare a bird?"

"He's all bark. The navy should've wiped them out ages ago."

But this time, no one laughed with him.

Everyone could feel it now.

That pressure in the air.

They were coming.
