Enel quickly walked up to Noir's side and whispered, "Don't say I didn't warn you, soone has their eyes on us."
Noir smirked and replied, "I know."
If Enel could sense it, then Noir certainly could too.
The mont they landed, they were noticed. It seed soone had been watching them for a while.
Noir had a good idea who was tailing them, most likely governnt agents.
CP9. Noir hadn't gone looking for them yet, but it seed they were delivering themselves right to him.
Noir whispered, "Don't raise any alarms; we'll deal with it after we get into the city."
Everyone nodded in agreent and quickened their pace.
anwhile, the person observing them from the shadows extended a hand from beneath their trench coat, revealing a small Den Den Mushi on their wrist.
The Den Den Mushi opened its eyes, forming facial features with a soft, feminine look, likely a woman.
The man spoke in a hushed voice, "I've spotted Noir entering the Water 7 area. What should I do?"
There was a brief silence before a woman's voice responded.
Judging by the voice alone, she sounded like a refined and confident woman.
"Don't take any action yet. Follow them, but don't make it too obvious."
The woman's voice was calm and commanding, and the man straightened up imdiately, responding, "Understood!"
"There's a good chance CP9 agents are in Water 7, so be cautious in your actions."
The man nodded and said, "I understand. I won't make contact with Noir's group until I've assessed the situation."
To Noir's surprise, this person wasn't a governnt agent.
But at the mont, there was no way for him to gather more details.
As Noir reached the entrance to Water 7, they were greeted by nurous vendors selling bulls.
Bulls are a species unique to this area, commonly used as transportation by the locals.
The bulls had a dopey look in their eyes, but each one had a cheerful smile that was both ugly and cute.
Renting a two-person bull cost only 1,000 Beli, so Noir rented two.
Originally, Noir intended to share one with Robin, but Conis was adamantly against riding with Enel...
With no other choice, Noir reluctantly shared one with Enel.
The long-eared god looked thoroughly displeased, sulking as he followed Noir.
Once they entered the city, everyone quickly forgot about any unwanted feelings.
Water 7 was indeed a city full of wonder.
The streets were replaced by waterways, with canals stretching in every direction, filled with people passing by. Everyone wore a smile and greeted each other warmly.
This city, with its many water channels, imdiately reminded Noir of a similar city on Earth in his previous life.
Conis was dazzled by the surrounding architecture, exclaiming in wonder, "What a beautiful place!"
"Look, Robin, that person is selling so interesting flutes!"
Being on the Blue Sea for the first ti and exploring a new island, everything seed novel to Conis, who excitedly dragged Robin along to explore the shops.
Seeing Conis, who could afford anything she wanted, happily running off to play, Enel felt a sense of dread and looked longingly at Noir.
Feeling a bit sorry for him, Noir bought them each so street food.
The shop owner cheerfully promoted his wares, "This is our local specialty, Water at. The texture is amazing!"
Curious, Enel picked up a piece of the juicy at on a large bone and took a big bite.
The next second, his pupils contracted, his gaze went blank for a mont, and then he began chewing faster and faster, swallowing with a loud gulp.
"Oh wow!"
Enel was so overwheld by the taste that sparks of electricity began crackling around him as he shouted, "This is delicious! The at is so tender, it feels like water!"
Noir squinted against the bright sparks and said, "Is it really that good?"
He tried a bite himself, and his eyes lit up just the sa.
The at was both tender and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness. The texture was unique, it was at, yet it felt like he was biting into jelly.
"This at is incredible! How do you make it, sir?"
With his master-level cooking skills, Noir was genuinely curious.
The shopkeeper proudly explained, "It's our special thod of raising at here in Water 7. Try to make it anywhere else, and it just wouldn't be the sa!"
"I see..." Noir was disappointed that he couldn't take so with him but quickly said, "I'll take an extra serving to bring back to Wyper."
Enel quickly finished his portion and began eyeing the extra serving for Wyper. If not for Noir being there, Enel might have tried to snatch it.
Noir shot him a warning look but still ended up buying him another portion.
With his craving satisfied, Enel followed Noir to the shore, looking like a contented child.
"Good day, Mayor!"
"Mayor, take care of yourself!"
"Secretary Kalifa is as cool as ever!"
"Excuse , but isn't that harassnt?"
"Ohhh!!!"
As Noir and Enel strolled down the street, they were suddenly t with a thunderous cheer from the canal behind them.
Curious, the two pushed through the crowd to see what was happening. Enel, puzzled, asked, "What's going on? Why is that person so popular? Is he a god of the Blue Sea?"
Noir shot him a glance and said, "You're a god too, so why aren't you more popular?"
"Haven't you heard them? That's the mayor of this city."
Enel scratched his head, unsure of what a mayor was.
Not a god? Perhaps a high priest?
Noir didn't bother to explain further, instead focusing his attention on the beautiful woman standing next to the mayor, Iceburg.
CP9 agents had indeed infiltrated Iceburg's inner circle.
Kalifa, Noir rembered her well.
To be precise, Noir had a good mory of most of the beautiful won in One Piece.
In the original story, she was defeated by his little sister during the battle at Enies Lobby. He didn't think much of her combat abilities.
Noir stepped out of the crowd, moving closer to Iceburg's group, and called out, "Mayor Iceburg! I'd like to have a word with you!"
Iceburg, with his stylish hair and deep red lipstick, looked serious but surprisingly approachable. He turned to Noir and said, "What do you want to talk about?"
Kalifa, showcasing her acting skills, adjusted her black-rimd glasses and frowned, "Sir, solving your problems isn't part of the mayor's duties."
Noir glanced at Kalifa, his eyes briefly lingering on the cleavage hidden beneath her professional attire, before quickly looking away. He said, "I'd like your company's shipwrights to help modify my ship."
Kalifa's expression grew even colder as she responded, "If you need ship repairs, go directly to Galley-La Company. Don't block the mayor's way."
Enel, growing impatient, glanced at her, and blue electricity surged from under his arm, intending to shut this annoying woman up for good.
Seeing Enel transform into lightning, Kalifa's eyes filled with fear.
This man's subordinate is a Logia-type user?
Noir placed a hand on Enel's arm, holding him back, and gave Kalifa a knowing smile.
"Relax, Miss Secretary. I just want to ask sothing. No need to worry."
Noir turned back to Iceburg and asked, "One more thing, I'd like to know, where is Franky?"
