****************

Everyone present looked at Colt with bewildered expressions.

Nami's cheeks puffed out in anger, making her resemble a pufferfish.

She seemed ready to pounce on Colt and bite him twice.

"You big jerk! That's way too straightforward!"

Just as Iceberg was about to say something, a red light flashed in Colt's eyes.

Iceberg's expression turned dazed, and his demeanor shifted entirely.

"Kalifa, take good care of Colt-san," Iceberg said, then calmly left the room, ignoring Kalifa's astonished gaze.

"BOSS..."

"Kalifa-san," Colt interrupted, his voice steady but cold.

"Please refrain from telling your colleagues about Robin's presence here."

Robin froze in place, her eyes wide as she processed Colt's words.

'Did she recognize me? And what does he mean by her colleagues?'

Kalifa's pupils contracted slightly, but a professional smile graced her face.

"Rest assured, sir. We never disclose our guests' private matters."

Her response was seamless, betraying no weakness.

It was no wonder she had been entrusted with such a critical mission alongside Iceberg.

If Colt hadn't known her true identity, he might never have suspected her.

But those fishnet stockings? Once seen, they're unforgettable.

Yes, that was how Colt recognized her.

"Kalifa-san," Colt said, his voice taking on a sharper edge, "I'm not asking for discretion with just Iceberg's staff. I meant to not let the other CP9 members know."

Kalifa's composed smile faltered for an instant before she acted.

With a flash of motion, she used [Shave], one of the [Six Powers], to dart towards the door.

Her instincts were clear: outnumbered three to one and being a non-combatant, she needed to alert Lucci and the others immediately.

However, just as her fingers grazed the handle, a spectral blue arm-Colt's Susanoo- snatched her back with unrelenting force.

No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape its grip.

"Relax," Colt said with a calm smile, dragging her toward him effortlessly.

"Running away will only reveal your identity to Iceberg, won't it?"

Knowing her escape had failed, Kalifa was unyielding. "Then kill me and be done with it."

"Kill you?" Colt tilted his head mockingly.

"Why would I do that? I told you, we're not enemies."

Clearing his throat theatrically, Colt continued in a serious tone.

"Come closer."

As she did, he whispered something into her ears.

Kalifa's eyes widened in disbelief.

'He's part of us!'

Colt looked a her with a smirk, releasing her from his Susanoo's grip.

Kalifa immediately straightened her posture, bowing respectfully.

"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know better."

She knew the code phrase could only be known by high-ranking CP agents or senior operatives within the World Government.

Colt's rank was clearly above hers, though his exact position remained a mystery to her.

"Well, now you know. Don't concern yourself with Nico Robin's actions-just continue your undercover mission as usual," Colt said smoothly.

Without missing a beat, Colt added, "You might not know this due to your lower rank, but Robin-san is actually a hero of the World Government. She infiltrated numerous pirate crews to serve as undercover support for the Marines."

He turned to Robin and added with a teasing smile, "Isn't that right, Robin-san?"

Robin's face was blank, though the faintest hint of a twitch betrayed her annoyance.

She wanted to protest the absurdity of Colt's claim, but she couldn't deny that her past actions, when viewed from a certain perspective, could almost fit the narrative.

Kalifa, however, seemed utterly convinced.

Yet, she still nodded respectfully.

"Understood. I'll proceed as instructed."

Before dismissing her, Colt encouraged her to pass a message to Lucci:

"Tell him to keep honing his strength. When he meets a man named Luffy in the future, he'll need to go all out against him."

Kalifa left swiftly, leaving Colt and the others alone in the room.

Once the coast was clear, Robin couldn't hold back any longer.

"How on earth did you become the chief of the CP organization?"

Colt shrugged nonchalantly.

"Since I already have people in the Marines, it's only natural to have some in the World Government too. The CP organization is now under my command."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Robin remained silent, her thoughts swirling.

Colt's influence felt limitless, like a puppeteer manipulating strings from the shadows.

Every subtle move he made seemed to trigger a chain reaction across the world.

After leaving, Colt, Robin, and Nami returned to their ship.

With 1.5 billion Berries still owed to Iceberg, and only 200 million on hand, Colt had his work

cut out for him.

Sighing, Colt tapped Nami on the forehead.

"You and Robin are such spendthrifts. Two billion Berries for one ship?"

Nami stuck out her tongue, a playful glint in her eye.

"How about we go rob some pirates to make up for it?"

Colt shook his head.

"Too inefficient. Even if we found a crew to plunder, we might only get tens of millions, if

that at all."

Thankfully, Colt already had a backup plan.

"Set course for Skypiea, the sky island" he ordered.

Robin's curiosity was piqued.

"The sky island? Does it actually exist?"

Legends of an island in the sky had persisted for centuries, but no definitive proof had ever

surfaced.

Colt's confident smirk was all the reassurance she needed.

"You'll see soon enough. Besides, there's a Poneglyph there you might find interesting."

*****

While Colt and his crew sailed for Skypiea, Sasuke took a portion of Whitebeard's crew to Gran

Tesoro.

Gild Tesoro, the self-proclaimed Golden Emperor, claimed to control 20% of the world's

wealth.

Sasuke couldn't let such a treasure slip through his fingers.

After an intense confrontation, during which Tesoro desperately tried to leverage his influence over the Celestial Dragons, Sasuke's sheer might left him no choice.

Reluctantly, Tesoro handed over five billion Berries to Sasuke.

As Colt's ship approached Jaya Island, a den-den mushi buzzed to life.

Sasuke's voice came through the receiver.

"You said before that you need 500 million Berries? Fine. I'll give you a billion," Sasuke said

smugly.

Colt chuckled.

'This kid Sasuke, he might have thought that I don't know what he's been up to.'

"You're getting devious, Sasuke. Robbing five billion and offering me one billion as a share?

Isn't that a little... stingy?"

The snail's expression mirrored Sasuke's annoyed grimace.

"Fine. How much do you want?"

"Half," Colt replied without hesitation.
