The bandage spirit becomes a spirit! Luffy and the others are surprised!

"Why is he here!!!" Bruno asked, suppressing his anger.

Aspagu, who had been chasing him, appeared in this funny way.

"We were tricked." Luz was not as angry as he had imagined. After the information was leaked, they had no choice.

The eyes of the whole world are focused here, and they can't stop it openly.

Even Spandam was having a headache about how to solve the problem.

"First of all, I don't think the design is in anyone's hands." Aspagu said his own opinion. It doesn't matter whether the person using the weapon is good or evil. The most important thing is that it is a double-edged sword and no one knows when it will backfire.

"As far as I know, you have been keeping the blueprints. Don't you have ambitions to dominate the world?"

“It is my ambition to be the mayor of this city.”

"Have the Navy been looking for you to buy the blueprints?"

"Indeed, it gave me a headache for a long time."

"According to what you said, it's best if no one can get the blueprints. Why don't you choose to destroy them, but keep them?"

"Because it is the only thing my master left for me to keep~"

"Your master, the sinner—Tom?"

"My master is not a sinner! He was framed!" Aspagud, who had always been calm, became excited when asked about this topic.

Aspagu slowly explained the frame-up seven years ago. His master was purged by the navy because he built a ship for the Pirate King. For this city, Tom built a sea train. He could have been exonerated with this achievement, but he was framed by others. In order to protect his two disciples, Tom took all the blame and was finally sentenced to death. Before he died, the design drawings were entrusted to him and he was asked to keep it well.

"Did you leak the blueprint? Do you know that everyone might be implicated by this blueprint and their lives might be in danger?" Carly asked sharply. Is this what the mayor of this city should do? Put the lives of all the people in the city at risk?

"It wasn't my brother who did this, it was me!" A familiar male voice interrupted, he sat down next to Aspagu and said to Carly.

"Brother? You are his dead brother, how come you are still alive? Why did you do this?"

"Because I really can't stand it anymore! Because of this design, my master died, and my senior brother was constantly threatened by the navy. I have to keep living with a fake identity."

"Humph, as for your worries, don't worry. How could the design drawings you got be real? They are all smokescreens. I drew them one by one myself. How could I really give them to you? I'm not so crazy as to let the people of an entire city be buried with me."

Franky said directly, the last sentence was a satire on the navy. Everyone knew that not all the people on the island destroyed by the Demon Slayer Order were evil, but the navy still chose not to miss any and wiped them all out.

Sometimes, the line between the navy and the pirates who fight and plunder is actually very thin.

"Then why spread fake designs?" Carly asked.

"Because I want to save myself! My family's lives are threatened, so I have no choice but to take the risk."

"Was it Mayor Aspago? The assassin was Nico Robin from the Straw Hat Pirates. You spreading fake blueprints won't mean much to them unless—" Carly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"That's right, the navy is the culprit that threatened my brother's life. Nico Robin is just a knife to them!"

"Why do you know this?"

"I worked with the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Junior brother, shut up and stop talking!" Aspagu pretended to be angry and yelled at Franky, wanting him to stop making dangerous remarks.

"Brother, even if you try to stop me, I will continue. All of this is due to my cooperation with the Straw Hat Pirates. They are doing this for their companions, and I am just trying to save my own life."

"You mean, Nico Robin didn't volunteer, but was threatened by the navy?"

"That's it."

"You believed what the pirates said?" Carly asked in disbelief.

"Navy, pirates, humph, at this time, I'll listen to whoever can help me!"

"So the real design is here with you?"

"I gave it to the Straw Hat guys as a reward." Franky replied with a sneer.

"You announced it directly to the world. Aren't you afraid of breaking up with the Straw Hats?"

"Neither the navy nor the pirates are good people. It would be best for ordinary people like us if they both fought each other." Franky said indifferently, looking like he couldn't wait for them to start fighting.

......

"Asshole! Didn't you turn on the shielding device? Why was it still broadcast live!!!"

Spandam slapped the soldier in the face and questioned him with a red face.

"Maybe they brought a more advanced anti-shielding device, and our shielding device is ineffective." The soldier answered tremblingly with a blue mark on the right side of his face.

"Straw Hat Pirates, Straw Hat Pirates, you have to take the blame properly!" Seeing the frightened look on the soldiers' faces, Spandam naturally knew that he could not be blamed. He turned his head away, his face ferocious, and muttered to himself, and it seemed that he had a lot of hatred for the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Sir, what should we do next?" the adjutant stepped forward carefully and asked.

"Go back, what else can we do? The design drawings have been packed up and sent to the pirates, why should we rush over? We have two hostages in our hands, aren't we afraid that they will be fooled?" Spandam said, looking at Robin and Dazai Osamu who had taken over from Ganifa and the others.

"What about this live broadcast?" the adjutant asked uncertainly.

"Are they going to be silenced in front of the whole world? Wouldn't it be just telling the whole world who silenced them? The navy will lose all face!" Spandam was also trembling with fear as he thought about the reactions of his superiors. This matter was completely messed up, and even if he had someone above him, he couldn't handle it.

Now he can only try his best to salvage some of it and get the design drawings of Pluto. There is still a glimmer of hope!

"Go back to Judicial Island!"

"Yes!"

Spandam came and went in a hurry, just going through the motions and was completely useless.

With their identities exposed, CP9 is no longer useful in Water City and follows Spandam back.
