Chapter 295 CP9
"Everyone's wearing masks... Are they having a party?" Usopp guessed as he looked at the gorgeous ship passing by them.
"Li~li~"
"Hey, Luffy, where are you going?" Usopp looked at Luffy who suddenly rushed out driving Blue in confusion.
Luffy ignored Usopp's question, eager to try the Shuishui meat that Blue mentioned. It sounded delicious. Luffy bought ten pieces of Shuishui meat from the stall and took a bite of the meat hanging on the rope in the shape of a water drop. "So tender and smooth! This meat is so delicious!!"
"Is it so delicious? Give me one, Luffy!" Usopp shouted excitedly as he looked at the juicy meat hanging in Luffy's hand.
"No, buy it yourself!"
"Why are there so many people wearing masks on this street?" Nami looked at the masked people in confusion. Forget it, let's see what to do next!
Nami took the map given by Uncle Blue, and then it was time to go to the tower-like building next to it to take the Watergate Elevator...
"The Seven Water Cities are so interesting!" Luffy exclaimed as he felt the water elevator slowly rising.
"Anything can be done on the water!" Nami exclaimed. She hadn't expected that the water elevator in the Water City would work like this. The water level in the circular building would rise and fall by opening and closing the gates to release water, thus forming something like an elevator to send people up or down.
Through the water elevator, they quickly arrived at the central street. The map allowed them to quickly find a large pawn shop to exchange cash. With Nami's wit, they successfully exchanged a full 300 million Baileys!
After coming out of the pawn shop, Nami and Usopp unanimously decided not to let Luffy take the cash box due to his carelessness.
"Why don't you let me take it!?" Luffy sat on Swordfish Blue's boat with his legs hugged, looking at the three boxes on Nami and Usopp's boat with grievance.
"Nami, let's go back to the Merry!" Usopp said anxiously, holding the box containing 300 million Beli.
"That will take too much time. As long as we get up this slope, we will reach the shipyard!" Nami said while driving Blue. "Once we find a ship repairman, we will definitely estimate the cost of the repairs. Then we will go back to Merry together."
"Yeah, this is the first time I have received so much money and I don't know what to do..." Usopp sighed.
Luffy was even more dissatisfied when he saw Nami and Usopp ignored him. He hugged his legs and complained aggrievedly, "I am really shocked. You won't let me take the money!"

Seven Water City Backstreet Commercial Street
"The waterways are clear and the streets are clean!" Chopper in deer form exclaimed as he looked at the busy streets.
"It's also very beautiful." Qi added, then looked at the masked guy walking past them and said, "But why are there so many masked people here?"
"Hmm, looks like there are a lot of places to go!" Chopper said happily, then noticed a strange mask hanging on the door of a shop across the street "Is that one?"
Qi followed Chopper's gaze and said, "Yes, that's it."
"The pirate town of Saint Pruitt that the Sea Train passed by happened to be holding a costume carnival these days!" Robin said with a smile, "Maybe because of this reason, this place is also affected."
"Robin, you are so awesome. You know all this!" Chopper looked at Robin with eyes full of admiration.
"Ah, this is my habit! I collect all the information around me." Robin explained with a smile, "Because I have been reading people's faces and keeping my ears open since I was a child..."
"Chopper!" Qi interrupted Robin and looked at the shop with a bookstore sign in front and reminded him, "There is a bookstore in front!"
"Really?" Chopper rushed to the door of the bookstore, turned to look at Qi and Robin and asked excitedly, "Can I go in and take a look?"
"Of course, come in!" Robin said with a smile, then turned to look at Qi and smiled gently.
"Well, I just want to say that I won't do that again in the future." Qi looked at Robin and grinned, "We will always be your partners."
"I know." Robin's eyes softened. "I am content to be with you."
"Yeah!" Qi nodded heavily, then turned to look at the mask shop and said with a smile, "I want to buy a mask, do you want one?"
"You want this costume?" Robin asked curiously, thinking of what Qi had said before.
"Not really, I just think it's fun." Qi said with a smile. Seeing the obvious disbelief on Robin's face, Qi scratched his head helplessly. "Well, actually I want to know why Lucci likes to wear a mask every time he goes to the island. I think he is hiding something."
Robin looked at Qi in surprise. She didn't expect this to be the reason. She thought he didn't want her to be discovered by the World Government because of her, but... Robin looked carefully at Qi's outfit. She didn't notice it just now, but now it seems that Qi's outfit today is very similar to the outfit when they first met Lucci, except for the hair and the mask.
"Why don't you just ask him?" Robin asked puzzled.
"Because he won't tell us. He will hide very well the things he doesn't want us to know." Qi said softly while looking at the mask shop.
Robin was silent. She knew the reason, but she couldn't say it because she had promised Lucci.
"Okay, I'm over there. Don't go too far." Qi said as he tapped his toes and crossed the river lightly.
Hearing Qi's instructions, Robin shook her head with amusement. Although it was for Lucci, but he paid more attention to her. It was probably because of what Lucci said on the boat. Just as she was thinking about this, a voice suddenly came into her ears.
"I am CP9"
Robin turned her head stiffly and looked at the man who was about to disappear in the crowd, then glanced at Qi who was choosing a mask. Robin turned around and followed the CP9. She didn't expect it to be so fast, and it was a CP9 agent who specialized in assassination. This was worse than she thought. She knew their abilities, and because of this, she knew how much of a threat they would pose to her crew.
"If you don't want us to issue a demon-killing order against the Straw Hat Pirates on this island, don't resist and follow me."
Although the sound was very slight, Robin still heard it, and her face instantly turned extremely ugly. Robin gripped the backpack straps on her shoulders, lowered her head with a desperate look, and followed him without any intention of resisting. CP9 never issued empty threats, which scared her more than she thought.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a fierce attack knocked the masked man in front of her directly into the wall. Robin looked at the person blocking her in shock. This scene was too familiar. Looking at the man's attire, she thought it was Lucci.
"Robin, you're just abandoning me and going off with a stranger. Isn't that a bad idea?"
"Be careful!" Robin was about to say something when he suddenly noticed that CP9 on the ground had stood up and attacked Qi at an extremely fast speed.
"Point gun!"
"Your move is quite interesting." Qi dodged sideways and the pipe in his hand drew a huge arc towards the masked man's head. Unexpectedly, the masked man stood still and took his attack.
