Trafalgar Law didn't have the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so he couldn't cover as wide a range with his Observation Haki like Sabo could, and naturally he didn't know what had just happened.
So Kyle roughly explained the situation to him.
Just as he finished explaining, a mass of flas landed beside the two of them; like Sabo and Law, Ace also first swept his gaze across the surroundings after arriving here.
This was normal; when people arrived in an unfamiliar environnt, they always observed the surrounding situation first.
Then his gaze turned to Kyle.
"What happened?"
Kyle: ....
Kyle glanced at Law.
"I already explained it once, you tell him!"
Thus, a situation similar to a chain reaction unfolded; when the people behind them arrived here, they all swept their gaze around, then asked, 'What happened?'
And adhering to this fine tradition, the last person to arrive would always be the one to tell the next person what had happened.
Before long, except for the last mascot, pet, and ergency food supply Chopper who hadn't arrived yet, everyone had gathered here and learned what had just happened.
However, this thod of oral transmission always had one problem.
That was, when telling it to others, everyone added so of their own embellishnts, so even Kyle himself was a bit confused by the final version.
Was this what he had said?
When he first explained it to Law, he had only described the scene at the scene and Spandam framing Tom.
But by the end, it had turned into Spandam being utterly evil, using his position to kill countless people, with framing Tom being considered the most conscientious thing he had ever done; at the most exaggerated point, he had even massacred everyone on an island.
The only thing to say was that the last person to hear it was Luffy, and as everyone knew, that guy Luffy's brain might have been a tiny bit problematic.
So he actually believed it!
His gaze was fixed on Spandam, who was lying on the ground with more breath going out than coming in, his eyes full of anger.
"This bastard actually killed so many people?!"
"I'm going to beat him!!"
As he spoke, Luffy first stretched his left hand to grab Spandam and throw him up, then imdiately pulled back his right fist and fiercely punched out.
"Gum-Gum Pistol!!"
The punch, carrying imnse force, landed directly on Spandam; the trendous power erupting from Luffy's fist sent Spandam flying, hurtling into the distance at high speed like a cannonball.
Kyle sensed it with his Observation Haki.
Mm! There was a high probability he wouldn't survive.
Given Spandam's injuries just now, even with tily treatnt he would have died, let alone taking a punch from Luffy in this state.
He was definitely dead!
But this was good too, saved Kyle the trouble; he had never intended to let Spandam leave this place alive anyway.
Soone like Spandam living was just a waste of air.
Framing others was what he was best at; in the original story, not only was Tom frad by him, but after the Enies Lobby incident, CP9 mbers like Rob Lucci were also frad by him.
Among the World Governnt people Kyle hated, Spandam was one he found particularly detestable.
Tom walked forward and bowed to everyone.
"Thank you all for saving us!"
Tom's words ca from the heart; if Kyle hadn't appeared, the barrage of bullets just now hitting him would have worsened his injuries considerably.
Of course, the most important thing was the false charge of attacking the judicial ship.
Once this charge was confird, even with his achievent of building the Sea Train, he wouldn't have been able to cope with this situation.
After all, he was originally a criminal.
If he hadn't built the Sea Train, he wouldn't have been able to bear the charge of building the ship for the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, back then.
Iceburg and Franky, who were beside him, also stepped forward and bowed to everyone.
"Arigato!!"
"No problem, it's no problem! Don't worry about it!"
Luffy waved his hand, grinning as he spoke.
"You guys were frad anyway; if anyone's to bla, it's that detestable mishmash earlier, but it's okay, I already punched him away!"
"And you don't need to worry about anything; if there's trouble, just use my na, Monkey D. Luffy. But my na might not be famous enough yet; until my na can protect you, just use my grandpa's na!"
"Oh right, my grandpa's na is Monkey D. Garp!!"
"Monkey D. Garp?!!"
Hearing this, Tom and the others imdiately widened their eyes; there probably weren't many people across the entire sea who didn't know the na Monkey D. Garp.
He was the famously renowned Hero of the Marines.
This kid in front of them was actually the grandson of that Hero of the Marines?!
Feeling their shocked gazes, Luffy felt a bit lightheaded.
Before, he had disdained relying on his grandpa's na, but ever since following Kyle around and discovering that every ti Kyle used his grandpa's na, it solved a lot of troubleso problems.
Luffy had also learned this skill — relying on your elders!
If you didn't have an elder to rely on, there was no helping it, but since his grandpa was soone he could rely on, then shouldn't he, the good grandson, help spread his grandpa's reputation?
"Thank you again for saving us. To express our gratitude, how about letting us prepare a hearty dinner for you?"
Tom said to everyone.
"Hearty dinner?!"
Luffy murmured, unconsciously drooling from the corner of his mouth; he wiped it and imdiately said:
"Great, great! Then we won't stand on ceremony!"
The others also nodded; having just arrived at Water 7 and experienced this, having a local guide would make things more convenient for them.
Kyle also nodded; this was good, he wanted to get in touch with Tom anyway and discuss so things with him.
But...
It seed like sothing was missing?
Kyle swept his gaze over everyone and asked expressionlessly:
"Where's Chopper?"
"Chopper??"
Everyone suddenly realized, their expressions stiffening, especially Luffy and the others who had arrived last; they looked at each other, exchanging bewildered glances.
Finally, Kuina spoke hesitantly:
"Chopper... he should still be on the ship?"
After she spoke, Sanji imdiately followed up.
"He hasn't learned Moonwalk yet, and he hasn't mastered Observation Haki either; even if he made it to Water 7, finding us seems... a bit difficult?"

On the other side, at the port of Water 7, looking at the bustling crowd coming and going, Chopper looked left and right, but couldn't see a single familiar face.
"I, I... have I been abandoned???"
