Chương 50: Grim Intel
Rosinante crossed his arms and legs, reporting seriously "The Marine Vergo that recently joined the Marines is a spy placed there by Doflamingo. His group has been pirates and normal civilians alike! Plus the worst of it is still to come! Doflamingo has plans to take over the Kingdom of Dressrosa!"
Galan frowned and said "How?" Rosinante grit his teeth and said "He'll use his Devil Fruit to force the King to attack his own people before saving them and proclaiming himself king!" Galan narrowed his eyes and Rosinante continued "Not only that but he has the Hobby-Hobby fruit!"
Galan closed his eyes, muttering "That's really a problem then." Ryuga walked over and leaned in, asking curiously "What's the Hobby-Hobby fruit, boss?" Galan opened his eyes and stood up explaining "The User of the Hobby-Hobby fruit can turn people into toys. The memories of the people are erased from the minds of everyone in the World."
Everyone was horrified and Galan furrowed his brows, "Did he use the Hobby fruit?" Rosinante shook his head, replying "Not yet. I can give you a report on everyone in his crew as of right now, but there may be more to come."
Galan blinked, saying slowly "Not necessary. The fact of the matter is we're on a timer right now. First the Hobby fruit must land in our hands, or the user must be in custody. Secondly, we need to form a perimeter guard around Dressrosa. He shouldn't be out of the Blues yet. I'll have Tsuru and Sengoku head to Dressrosa under the pretense of inviting King Riku to the Levely next year."
He frowned and said "I want you all to infiltrate Dressrosa's waters and search for Doflamingo. If you can find the Hobby Hobby fruit, take it and bring it back to me. If you can't, grab the person who may have it and bring her back to me as well. All of you bring seastone cuffs and weapons with you. I want you to form your team and write down the number of squad members on your hands or somewhere conspicuous."
He looked at the 4 clowns and continued seriously "When you look at the numbers remember my words. The Hobby fruit will make you forget someone when they're touched. If the number on your hand doesn't match up with your amount of team members, it means your team is compromised. One of them has been turned into a toy, whatever that toy tells you, you believe it."
Ryuga stroked his chin and hummed, "Sounds like fun!" Galan raised a finger, "You cannot kill the eater of the Hobby fruit! It will only become a bigger issue in the future! Bring whoever it is to me."
Rosinante looked up and asked "What are you going to do?" Galan snorted and said "I'm going to solve the problem. Now go. Rosinante, stay." The other four nodded and realized how serious this was.
They were usually unreliable and idiotic off-duty, but make no mistake. These people were trained by Galan since young. They were cold-blooded killers and took their operations extremely seriously.
This was the Justice in their hearts.
On the mission there was no in-fighting, no petty jealousy. There was only the completion of the mission and the most efficient way to do it.
Bolin walked over and whispered in his ear "Caged Bird is safe, seems to have awakened Observation Haki since stimulated. Every organization that betrayed her has been erased and the ones who've blackmailed for sexual favors were eliminated. She's been unharmed during the entire surveillance."
Nobody heard what he said except Galan himself, even Olvia couldn't hear it. Galan made sure of it. He turned and said slowly "Sexual favors?" Bolin grinned grimly "A couple assholes who don't know their place in the world. I took care of it personally."
Galan nodded and turned back, "If that happens again, eliminate every pirate in the area. A radius of three islands and every underground connection they have." Bolin shuddered and nodded, "Yes boss!" before leaving with the others, seemingly shocked.
Rosinante was stunned and sat there not knowing what he was supposed to do. Olvia looked at Galan suspiciously, she didn't hear what he said but she could read his lips. Although Galan barely moved them when he was speaking to avoid that, she could. She spent years with him, she liked to think she knew him best.
She was confused as to who was being eliminated and why it was so serious as to eliminate every pirate and underground organization within a 3 island radius! You have to know, that's easily thousands of people!
Galan moved on, looking at Rosinante, saying "Sengoku thinks you're dead. You have 2 options now." Rosinante was stunned and Galan went on, "You can return to Sengoku and the Marines, risk all of our information on Doflamingo's plans leaking back to him and being changed, putting many more at risk…"
Rosinante's lips twitched, saying "Not really much of a choice, is it…" Galan gave him the second option, "You stay behind the curtain and pretend you're dead, becoming the head of a secret Marine Task force. Your records will be wiped, your existence erased, and everyone will cease to remember who Donquixote Rosinante is. However!"
He looked down at Rosinante, saying "You will be my Sword. The hidden blade against Evil, the blade that doesn't care about the rules and executes Justice on criminals no matter what." Rosinante was stunned and felt a fervor in Galan's words.
Olvia covered her mouth, unexpectedly Galan can express this kind of passion! It was special in his own special type of way. She liked it quite a bit.
Rosinante muttered "Sword?" Galan nodded and explained "You will be trained by me and I will supply you with the weapons and team. All of you will be members of SWORD, not even known to any other Marines. Only myself. Do you agree or not?"
Rosinante thought about it and asked "My brother.." before he could finish, Galan cut him off, saying "I will take care of it. Make a choice." Rosinante frowned and calculated before saying "I don't want to be like the rest, chasing slaves and returning them to hell. So if that's what this SWORD is, then forget it."
Galan looked at him for a few moments before walking away. Rosinante blinked in confusion and Olvia smiled "Congratulations, Rosi-chan. There isn't much room in the house, but we usually start training at dawn." before walking away, following Galan.
Rosinante let out a breath and smiled "Thank you, Robin-san. He's very scary." Olvia smiled happily, "I suppose." before walking into the house.
Rosinante got up and sighed, scratching his head and muttering "Well, looks like I'm homeless…"
