Chapter 13 (2/2)
West blue, a few hours away from Ishiria island, Marine battleship
A group of indivduals stood together, discussing the approaching mission. One half of the group was clothed in suits completely in white, namely the three CP0 agents, who had the command during this mission, being the strongest unit belonging to the Cipher Pol agency, while the other half of the group consisted of three individuals clothed completely in black suits which belonged to the CP9, the special assassination and infiltration unit of the world government, officially noneexistent.
”What do we know about the target?” Asked a slim man, the leader of the CP9, with a dove sitting on his shoulder, which now and then produced a silent *guru* as if trying to enter the conversation.
The leader of the CP0, a tall man with a white mask, spoke up in answer.
”The target was once known as 'the swords fury - Lee Mu Bai' with a bounty of 1.100.000.000 Berry. He was renowned to not discriminate between pirates or marines when it came to battling and never lost a fight against anyone. This is even more suprising when you take into consideration that he once clashed with Kaidou, one of the four emperors of the sea. Though, neither did win. It was a stalemate.”
”Then how are we supposed to kill the target? We would stand no chance against an emperor if it came down to it.” Bruno, a tall man from the CP9 spoke up, who had two horns made of his hair protruding from the sides of his head.
”The target has become rather old and the Gorosei suspect that he has grown increasingly weak over the years, so much so that he probably had to raise a disciple to pass down his legacy, which is the main reason we were send here. If there is a disciple it is our task to find and eliminate said target, no matter the cost. But to do that we need to get past Mu Bai, who undoubtedly already knows the world government sent a deligation to eliminate the thread which will make our task increasingly harder but we have our orders and failure is not an option. Either you complete your mission or die trying. I will not put the reputation and honor of the CP0 up for sale due to failure. Is that clear!?”
”Yes sir!” came the unified answer along with a salute and the straigthening of the mens spines.
”Now listen, this is how we will proceed in said operation. Kaku you and Bowser will...”
And so the plans were being made, not knowing that it would come completely different than everyone expected it to go.

West blue, a few hours away from Ishiria, ship of the Zambatta pirates (ex mafia)
”We are nearly there. Prepare for raiding and burn the whole city roku to the ground! Doflamingo will curse the day he nicked the leadership of my cartell in the west blue from me. You will pay Doflamingo, do you hear me? You will pay!” An older man in a blue suit yelled towards the sky with a raised fist, proclaiming his hatred towards his nemesis for all to hear.
”Errr, sir? Just wanted you to know that we got a leak on the ship so we may arrive a little later than we expected...” Another pirate said with an ashamed look on his face, trying not to look his captain directly into the eyes while trying to defuse some pressure by sticking his finger into his nose on the tiring search for the king of all boogers.
”What the hell happened down there? In the morning all was still fresh and chipper!”
”Errr, we may have practised a little bit of shooting which got kind of out of hand...” The subordinate said while trying his hardest not to explode from how red his face had gotten from embaressment.
The captain, hearing his subordinates words nearly collapsed in stupor with a giant sweatdrop on his forhead. ”Arrrgh, am I only surrounded by incompetence? Fix it you morrons, THIS INSTANT!”
”Y-Yes sir, right away sir!” and with that the subordinate skimpert away to fix the problem to not get thrown over board instead. Not that it would make much of a difference if he didn't fix the problem.
And so it seemed one group would arrive a little later than expected to the party which would throw some people mightily off the rails.
