26 Ch 26 : An offer you can't refuse 2

' Fumu fumu, they must be so shocked by my acting.'

Inside the room, Cade, who was dressed as Itachi looked at the frozen Cp9 member and thought so.

But unknown to him, the other Cp9 actually didn't share the same sentiment.

Their eyes looked back and forth at Khalifa and Itachi, and even Khalifa had a blush all over her face.

She knew she was pretty but wasn't this too sudden? At least they should learn about each other first, and…..

*Blush*

' Sexual harassment! This is Sexual Harassment!'

Nonetheless, as a Cp9 agent member, she quickly regains her composure.

" What do you mean by that?" Khalifa asked, her hand trembling as she tried to keep her face as calm as possible.

The other Cp9 members also gritted their teeth. Through the years, they also began to share a sense of comradery. And even if they knew they were a lot weaker, they would not hesitate to attack if they knew Khalifa was being targeted.

" Hmmm? Are you guys stupid? Of course, since you guys could no longer work in the World Government, are we not on the same side now?"

"...."

Itachi's nonchalant response almost made the Cp9 puke. And complaints rose in their heart:

' Can't you not say it with such misleading words?'

Khalifa even had the urge to slap this guy in front of her for making her think too much.

However, the Cp9 quickly calmed down. They continued to observe Itachi, who was standing there quietly.

" You know we are members of the World Government, right? So why would you think that we are on the same side?" Khalifa's eyes narrowed. She glared at Itachi.

" Haha.. please. You guys have known about that secret. Do you think you could still stay in the World Government? Believe me. There was no longer a place for you in the World Government. And your best option was to follow me." Itachi calmly said.

" This… there is still a chance that the information you give us is false!" Khalifa tried to rebuke.

However, the more she tried to reject it, the more she knew she was just trying to comfort herself.

" Well, whether to believe or not. It is up to you guys. But you should have known that the chance of me lying is almost abysmal. The World Government, they were crueler than you thought."

Hearing these words, the eyes of the Cp9 member gloomed.

If what they dreamt was real, then what Itachi said might be true.

To know such a secret, it would not be hard to guess that they would soon be deemed as a threat.

And for the person that dragged them to muddle water in front of them, the Cp9 could not help but want to pummel him to the ground. However, it was just like Itachi said. They were left with no choice.

As for Itachi or Cade, he absolutely would not care about what they think.

His purpose had been achieved, and whether they were willing to join or not, it didn't really matter. After all, they simply did not have any choice.

A smile soon rose on Itachi's face before he stood up and disappeared just the way he came to this place.

. . . . . . . .

The next day, in the training ground.

Cade was forcefully dragged around by Zephyr and was forced to undergo intense physical training.

But this time, he had a lot of company with him.

" Fufu, aren't you a bit too weak? Mr. Prince?"

" Don't be too harsh to him, Khalifa. But well, Mr. Prince is indeed a bit too weak."

" ... "

Looking at his side where Kaku and Khalifa were talking about him with such a nonchalant expression, Cade almost puked his heart.

How could he not? After all, his body was the average body of a One Piece person. And even if he was stronger than your average joe, he was absolutely far if compared to those monsters.

Especially when he looked at Vivi, who was running with Rob Lucci next to her.

Obviously they started together, so how could Vivi be this strong physically…

Was this the difference between him and an important character? Cade really wanted to protest.

Nonetheless, looking at the Cp9 training together with him, a feeling of satisfaction rose in Cade's heart.

This morning, the member of Cp9, realizing their weakness came to Zephyr and asked to be trained. And with Cade's recommendation. Zephyr also didn't refuse them, Though his eyes looked as if saying: "Don't you dare do anything when I'm here!"

Though for now, he could not be so sure that the Cp9 would not betray him, he knew that they began to consider his offer of staying in this Kingdom.

And with the help of Cp9 members, the strength of Sullivan Kingdom had once again risen.

Zephyr, Cp9, and also Lake.

The small Kingdom that was dying now had its own force, and maybe later it would be one that would not need to be afraid of a Shicibukai attack.

Cade though, didn't notice that his smiling face was seen by Khalifa, and she subconsciously took a step back.

" Hmph, smiling like that. That is sexual harassment!"

" ... "
