Noir pondered for a moment and said, "So, you're asking me to replace the government official on the escort ship to make it easier for you to infiltrate?"

Cretin nodded and explained, "Once we've infiltrated the fleet, we'll create opportunities to help you penetrate the lead ship."

"The lead ship is equipped with a powerful communication Den Den Mushi. We need to disable it to ensure the safety of the Revolutionary Army fighters outside."

Afterward, Noir and Cretin discussed many details, including the timeline, personnel information, and specific locations.

By this point, Lucci and Blueno had also figured it out: the people Noir was collaborating with were members of the Revolutionary Army.

The existence of CP9 was a secret known to very few, even within the Revolutionary Army. Despite Cretin's vigilance, she hadn't detected Lucci's true identity.

The reason Noir brought Lucci here was that he wanted to drag him fully into this situation.

After hijacking the Heavenly Tribute, what reason would Lucci have to return to the government?

Lucci, however, hadn't considered this. He was simply surprised that Noir was working with the Revolutionary Army.

During the infiltration, Blueno and Lucci's skills and experience would prove highly useful.

While Noir and the Revolutionary Army were deep in conversation, Enel was having his own kind of fun elsewhere.

Conis, holding onto Kalifa's arm with one hand and a thin string with the other, was leading them around. The string was attached to a floating bubble filled with various clothes and accessories.

It’s often said that shopping is a woman's nature, and in this, they often display astonishing stamina.

Kalifa and Conis had been walking without rest for a long time, still excitedly leading the way.

Trailing behind them, Enel and Wyper were about to lose their minds.

These two powerful users of Logia and Zoan Devil Fruits were being driven to the brink of insanity by this ordeal.

The reason they were following Conis and Kalifa was because they were nearly broke.

Persuaded by Enel, they pooled their money to buy some Sabaody bubble gum, and then…

And then… well, that was the end of their spending.

It wasn't until the sun was high overhead that the two women finally stopped and found a restaurant to eat.

Naturally, they brought their two companions along.

When it came to food, Enel was immediately revitalized.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Enel eagerly found a seat and shouted, "Owner, I want meat!"

After ordering, Enel sat with his knife and fork, eagerly awaiting his meal.

At that moment, a commotion from a nearby table caught the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

Annoyed, Enel glanced over. Who was making so much noise during a meal?

At the table, a group of men were devouring a colorful array of food with no regard for table manners. The one eating the most ravenously seemed to be their leader, wearing an orange hat with an unconventional necklace hanging around his neck.

He had some freckles on his face, making him look like a bright, sunny young man.

Seeing how young he was, Enel couldn’t help but feel a bit disdainful.

At this age, only someone like Noir could be considered extraordinary; everyone else... hmph!

Enel's natural arrogance kicked in, making him feel superior.

This young man, leading his crew and stuffing his face, was none other than Ace, who had agreed to meet Noir.

Ace and his pirate crew had been waiting on the island for three days, finally catching sight of Noir's group.

Seeing how much Ace and his crew were enjoying their food, Enel felt his own appetite grow. When his food arrived, he immediately dug in without a second thought.

Ace quickly noticed Enel as well. This guy was eating at an incredible speed!

Not to be outdone, Ace grabbed two plates, shoveling food into his mouth as fast as he could.

Without realizing it, a rivalry had formed between Enel and Ace, with everyone in the restaurant watching in stunned silence.

If Noir were there, he would undoubtedly find this scene very familiar.

The two made a spectacle of themselves, drawing the attention of everyone in the restaurant, while their companions hid their faces in embarrassment.

Wyper sighed, feeling utterly humiliated.

Meanwhile, beside Ace, Mihar wished he could crawl under the table.

Their eyes met across the room, sharing a look of mutual suffering.

While the restaurant was bustling with activity, the streets outside were eerily quiet.

The ordinary citizens had suddenly retreated to the sides of the road, not daring to say a word as they watched the people walking down the street.

Three elaborately dressed individuals, heavily wrapped in clothing, walked by, surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

To emphasize their high status, even their hairstyles were styled tall.

They wore bubble helmets on their heads, and the oldest of them appeared to be accompanied by his two children.

Yes... they were the infamous scum of the Sabaody Archipelago, the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons.

As nobles who enjoyed every privilege, the men were called "Saints," and the women "Palace."

Saint Rosward was leading his children, holding a chain. On the other end of the chain was a burly man, whose neck was shackled.

The man's body was covered in scars, his eyes lifeless, crawling on the ground in a numb, mechanical way.

Holding onto his slave, Saint Rosward half-closed his eyes, looking at the surrounding people with disdain.

"A bunch of filthy lowborn trash!" Saint Rosward shouted loudly, his insults unrestrained. The people heard him, but none dared to respond.

His son, Saint Charlos, with his pig-like face pressed against the bubble helmet, lazily said, "Father, let's hurry up. I heard there's a mermaid among the auction items this time!"

His daughter, Lady Shalria, wearing sunglasses and a silk scarf around her mouth, fanned herself as she spoke irritably:

"The fish-men we bought last time died after only a few days."

"But after we cooked one up, we let the others taste it."

"The looks on their faces were absolutely hilarious, hahaha!"

Saint Charlos sniffed, disdainfully adding, "Fish-men are no fun. It's the mermaids that are interesting!"

As he spoke, Saint Charlos’s gaze suddenly drifted to a spot along the street, and he noticed Enel and the others eating inside the restaurant.

When he looked through the glass and saw Kalifa sitting beside Enel, Saint Charlos’s eyes lit up.

Pointing at the restaurant, Saint Charlos laughed loudly without any restraint, "That woman looks good! I want to take her back to play with!"

Lady Shalria glanced over dismissively and said, "You're not afraid of getting dirty?"

Seeing that his father hadn't objected, Saint Charlos pulled out a golden pistol, raising it and aiming it at the people beside Kalifa.

His first target was Enel, who was still eating!

He said excitedly, "Alright, let's deal with the trash around her first!"

Bang!

Without hesitation, he fired. The bullet shattered the restaurant window, heading straight for Enel's temple.

The crowd outside looked on in horror, and those inside the restaurant ducked under their tables in terror.

Their swift movements showed just how accustomed they were to such incidents.

But Enel, still holding his fork, casually reached out and caught the bullet between his fingers just a few inches from his temple.
