Chapter 16: Assault

Time was slowly getting into the middle of the night. Everyone who had boarded the ship had already gone to their rooms to rest and enjoy the comforts of the rooms on the ship belonging to the Fortis Kingdom. Simultaneously a silhouette moved furiously up onto one of the ships belonging to the Fortis Kingdom. The ship that the silhouette was riding on was the ship used by Hashirama and the others earlier and it was also the ship currently occupied by them.

The one who snuck inside was CP-9 agent Nero.

"Hehe~ Do you think you can easily deny our existence? We will soon find out the location of your kingdom and slowly start—"

Before Nero could finish his sentence. Instantly an extremely terrifying pressure instantly pressed down on his body. The pressure was very heavy and directly hit the soul possessed by Nero. Nero's face immediately turned pale, his body was currently sweating profusely, and his body couldn't move. His face was currently filled with fear as he endured the pressure.

"Slowly start? What do you want to do with our house?" An emotionless cold voice rang out which was followed by footsteps.

Nero slowly raised his head which was currently showing deep fear and looked at Hashirama who was walking towards him with eyes that showed no emotion at all.

No words can come out of Nero's mouth at this time. Because the pressure Hashirama was putting on him right now had made him unable to do anything or even speak. The clothes he was currently wearing were covered in cold sweat.

*Slings!*

Without waiting for a long time, Hashirama immediately took out the kunai that was stored by him then slashed the neck of Nero which killed Nero instantly with his face now showing deep fear.

Hashirama immediately formed a seal and created his clone then asked the clone to immediately clean up Nero's corpse so that no one would find it.

"Turns out you can be very cruel, Hashirama" Jouichirou who was still not sleeping saw all that happened and slowly walked towards Hahsirama while looking at the corpse of Nero who was currently being taken care of by Hashirama's Clone.

"This person can endanger our home. He has the goal of obtaining our Eternal Pose and will slowly send their men to infiltrate. Ars has given me an order to immediately kill anyone who dares to do something bad to our house" Hashirama said calmly.

Jouichirou sighed and continued, "We're lucky they attacked tonight. I don't want Shiina's innocence to disappear because of this matter."

"It's not just you" Hashirama gave a small smile, "I'm sure Ars also doesn't want Shiina's innocence to disappear because of their actions."

"Well, what are you going to do after this?" Jouichirou asked.

"Ars has asked me to finish off someone named Spandam. He seemed to be the one behind this attack. At the same time, Ars asked me to take the treasures they have as spoils of war."

"We will get a lot of benefits. The World Government is the largest organization in this world. The price of their wealth must be very high, especially when it is still in the early months. They still have a lot of fresh funds that we can get."

"That's also said, Ars." Hashirama nodded.

"Go. I will try to cover up your departure so that Shiina and Iowa don't find out. However, I'm not sure about Kaijin and the others. They must want to know about this incident."

"There is no need to cover this up against them. They could figure it out and Iowa didn't seem to mind telling him either. However, don't tell this to Shiina. Ars will be angry with you if you do that"

"I know. You don't need to remind him. After all, I still have a desire for adventure."

Hashirama then quickly used his abilities and flew to Enies Lobby Island which was only less than 5 kilometers from their current location. On the way to Enies Lobby Island. Hashirama had used his ability to change his current appearance and immediately landed right in front of the entrance of Enies Lobby.

"Stop! Who are you?!" At the time Hashirama was about to approach. Immediately the Marines on duty there immediately stopped Hashirama due to the current lack of lighting.

Hashirama immediately walked towards them without answering. By the time the Marines saw who was going to enter. Their expressions softened and immediately allowed Hashirama to enter.

Hashirama calmly walked straight into Enies Lobby and immediately walked towards the main building that was there because Hashirama knew that the person who was the leader of the CP-9 was the one who would sit in the highest position.

Spandam, who was currently in his office at the top of the Enies Lobby building, was relaxing quietly drinking the wine that had been prepared by him.

"Hehehe… Tonight, I will definitely get a lot of praise from the Gorosei" Spandam's face was full of a smile of joy as he fiddled with the glass filled with wine, "If I manage to get the Eternal Pose from a small kingdom like Fortis Kingdom and tell me about the natural resources possessed by the kingdom. I will definitely be promoted straight away and it is not impossible to get into the main ranks of World Government officials. Hahahaha…" An excited laugh escaped Spandam's mouth as he continued to drink his wine.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Simultaneously, a knocking sound came from the entrance of the room. Spandam's eyes instantly got excited and shouted, "Come in!"

The door was immediately opened and showed Nero who walked in there. The incoming Nero was Hashirama.

How did Hahsirama find the location of Spandam's room by asking the people on Enies Lobby Island. Because of the status problem that is owned by Spandam. Wherever he is, many people will know about him. This is also a fatal mistake for someone who is already very famous very easy to find.

"That is you!" Spandam immediately stood up from his seat and excitedly looked at Nero, "Hurry up! Give me the Eternal Pose to head to the Fortis Kingdom. I will give you a great reward for your contribution." Spandam's face was now full of enthusiasm.

Luckily when Hashirama entered the room. Hashirama had locked the door of the room at the same time as he did not find any den-den mushi monitoring the place. Hashirama immediately appeared behind Spandam which surprised Spandam.

But before Spandam took action to defend himself or whatever. Hashirama had already slashed his neck until his head was cut off instantly. Spandam's head was in the air and he could see his eyes staring at Nero with a face that was hard to believe.

"You—" Before he could finish his sentence. The consciousness of Spandam immediately disappeared and at this time Spandam had been killed by Hashirama.

After you finish killing Spandam. Hashirama Seegra immediately used his Senjutsu and started tracking their treasures. It didn't take long for Hashirama to find his location and immediately use the key he found in Spandam's clothes and open the door.

Upon entering the room, Hashirama did not find any den-den mushi lurking. Hashirama immediately put all the treasures that were there into his storage room then walked out of the treasure warehouse back to Spandam's room to give the key back to him. After after, Hashirama then left Enies Lobby Island without anyone knowing at this time the head of CP-9 had been killed because of the killings committed by Hashirama at this time very silent and there was no sound at all.

Currently in the sky.

Hashirama has given up Nero's appearance and is currently in contact with Ars.

"How?"

"As you predicted. An agent named Nero came to the ship to steal our kingdom's Eternal Pose. I've managed to finish it off and also dispose of the corpse of that person so that it can't be tracked by the World Government"

"Good" Ars nodded and looked at the den-den mushi, "What about Spandam? Did you manage to finish it too?"

"Of course. That person has been killed by me. At this time no one knows that the current leader of the CP-9 has been killed nor do they know that their treasure has been taken by me."

"Good job, Hashirama" Ars said happily, "How much treasure do they have? Reasonable?"

"Well, they have a lot of treasures. It is possible that this treasure is comparable to the treasure we obtained through the sale of timber to the Gally-La Company."

"Not bad for our harvest this time" Ars said, "If you guys the quota for construction workers has been reached. Just go back. We will immediately start the construction project."

"I see"

The communication line was immediately closed and Hashirama immediately returned to his ship and then continued his journey towards the room to get some rest.

The next day.

Recruitment activities went well as yesterday. However, since the current quota for the royal palace maids has been fulfilled. Hiring today is only done by construction workers. Even so, there were still many people who were there to watch the recruitment and see who would later be selected and rejected in the recruitment.

Whoever is chosen will have a deep sense of pleasure. Besides being able to get a decent job, they will also get a big salary while getting a beautiful luxury house. Meanwhile, those who are rejected will have a very deep and sad sense of completion.

The recruitment activity only lasted until 10 am. Because in just a few hours, the quota for construction workers has been fulfilled and this is what makes many people who are currently waiting in line sad and disappointed. Simultaneously, Iceburg was there monitoring that the activity would run smoothly.

You can see that Kalifa's face is still calm. It can be concluded that the current Kalifa still doesn't know about the death of Spandam or maybe he doesn't care about it.

After the quota had been fulfilled, Hashirama immediately asked all the people who had been selected to immediately bring the goods on the ship because they would set sail at 11 o'clock later to the Kingdom of Fortis.

"Thanks for the help, Iceburg-san. If it wasn't for your help, it would probably be difficult for us to recruit workers so quickly." Lowellmina was the one who was talking to Iceburg at the moment since Lowellmina was the head of the foreign relations department and it was her job to do these kinds of things.

"Maa… It's not a difficult matter. Even if we don't help you. With the offer that you give. Anyone would be happy to work and become a citizen of your kingdom."

"Though it might happen. However, it is difficult to find workers in such a short time because at this time our kingdom wants to start construction quickly" Lowellmina said with a smile.

The two of them continued some conversation.

"Then, Iceburg-san. We said goodbye first. It's time for us to sail back to our kingdom. I hope we can meet again in the future."

"Maa.. Me too" Iceburg replied with a smile.

Lowellimina immediately made her way to the ship which was met with cheers from her male fans. In just 2 days of being on Water Seven Island. Lowellmina and Shiina currently have a lot of fans.

They are both liked because of their appearance and attitude because they are very kind to everyone. Even the current Iceburg if it wasn't for the fact that he already had Kalifa as his secretary and also if it wasn't for Lowellmina and Shiina were the top brass of the Fortis Kingdom. Iceburg has the desire of one of the two of them to be his secretary. However, what a shame. Desire is just an eternal dream.

"Do you like women like Miss Lowellmina, Iceburg-san?" Kalifa, who was currently close to her, immediately asked.

Iceburg was immediately surprised by this question and faked the stone, "Don't get me wrong, Kalifa" Iceburg immediately hid his embarrassment even though what Kalifa said was the truth, "What's my schedule today?" Iceburg immediately changed the subject.

Kalifa herself doesn't really care about this because her job here is to monitor Icuburg and slowly try to approach it so that she can get the design of the Pluto ship that is currently the target of the World Government.
