Chapter 136: 136 Whitebeard pirates spy
Step! Step! Step!
Chaotic and dense footsteps sounded.
A team of Marine officers, personally led by Vice Admiral Onigumo, arrived and encircled the entire conscription area.
"What's going on?"
"Why are there so many Marine officers surrounding us?"
"Is something serious going on?"
The people who came to join the Marines started talking amongst themselves.
"Hmm?"
"Could this be part of the evaluation too?"
Issho entertained the idea and a hint of doubt crossed his face.
"Vice Admiral, do you have any orders?"
The conscription examiner hurriedly approached Onigumo
"Humph!"
"I'll make an announcement before anything else!"
Vice Admiral Onigumo snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. "One of the individuals here trying to join the Marines is a pirate who took part in the Festival Island War and assisted Whitebeard against the Marines. That person might be a spy sent by Whitebeard!"
"What?"
"Pirates among us? And possibly Whitebeard's spy?"
"Who could it be? Who's bold enough to do this?"
"Whitebeard, the king of the World, must be the one behind this!"
The people exchanged suspicious glances with those around them, as if anyone could be Whitebeard's spy.
"So, this is what's happening! No wonder the Marines are getting ready for a fight!"
"But why would Whitebeard send a spy?"
Issho pondered to himself.
At the same time, he discreetly looked around, as if trying to identify the spy mentioned by Vice Admiral Onigumo.
"It's indeed true that he's a spy sent by Whitebeard once his identity is exposed. If it weren't for Fleet Admiral Akainu's warning, I fear everyone would have been deceived by him!"
Vice Admiral Momonga couldn't help but exclaim upon noticing the calm demeanor of Issho.
When everyone heard this, they became even more surprised.
"Oh?"
"The spy has a calm demeanor, and I can eliminate at least 80% of the people here "
Issho thought as he used his Observation Haki to sense his surroundings.
He noticed that most of them looked flustered, with only a small number of people remaining calm and composed.
"Vice Admiral, who is Whitebeard's spy?"
The conscription examiner couldn't hold back any longer and asked.
"Listen up, everyone! The spy sent by Whitebeard is wearing a purple coat!"
Vice Admiral Onigumo announced in a deep voice.
"Purple coat?"
When people heard this, they started looking around.
After spotting individuals in purple robes, they quickly distanced themselves, fearing that they might be the spies.
"I'm not a spy! I'm not!"
The people in purple robes were nervous, defending themselves.
"Wearing a purple robe certainly narrows down the target range"
Issho remarked, feeling like he was getting closer to identifying the spy.
"That man not only wears a purple coat but also carries a katana!"
Vice Admiral Onigumo said with indifference, but suddenly became furious.
He hadn't encountered a spy like this before.
He stated it so clearly yet pretended to be ignorant, still trying to deceive everyone.
"Clever, very clever!"
"If Fleet Admiral Akainu hadn't recognized this individual, with their hidden talents, he could have easily infiltrated the Marines!"
He secretly thought to himself and simultaneously regarded Issho as a shrewd individual.
"Holding a katana?"
Everyone who had joined the Marines looked around.
Those who were wearing purple coats but didn't have katanas suddenly wore relieved expressions and quickly distanced themselves from those holding katanas.
"Katana?!"
Issho looked startled.
Although he couldn't see it, he knew that he was wearing a purple coat and also had a katana with him.
The characteristics mentioned by Vice Admiral Onigumo seemed somewhat similar to his own?
'The suspect can't possibly be a duplicate of me, right?'
The thought crossed his mind, startling him.
"Ah!"
"This guy finally can't stay calm?"
Vice Admiral Onigumo had an odd expression on his face, sneered, and announced the final characteristic: "This man not only wears a purple coat and wields a katana, but he's also blind and keeps his eyes closed at all times!"
As soon as the words were spoken, people quickly looked around.
It didn't take long for everyone to focus their attention on Issho.
Among the hundreds of people present, many were dressed in purple robes and carried a katana, but only one of them was blind, and that was Issho.
"Is he a spy sent by Whitebeard?"
"That's incredibly bold, trying to sneak into the Marines by coming to the conscription point."
"This guy was spotted by Vice Admiral Onigumo; there's absolutely no way he can escape!"
Everyone stared at Issho with mocking glances, while simultaneously moving away from him.
"I'm Whitebeard's spy?!"
Issho looked stunned.
He was left dumbfounded.
And completely confused.
He felt like even God could testify that he was truly not a spy!
Not only was he not a spy, but he was also an enemy of Whitebeard; he had even fought against Whitebeard during the Festival Island War.
Joining the Marines this time was solely for the purpose of upholding justice.
Why had he suddenly been labeled as a spy sent by Whitebeard?
And now he found himself in this situation, forced to admit it, without any opportunity to prove them wrong.
Observing the silent Issho, Vice Admiral Onigumo decided to offer an explanation, assuming that Issho's silence was an admission of guilt after his disguise had been revealed.
With a wave of his hand, a team of Marines swiftly surrounded Issho.
Issho snapped out of his daze and directed his gaze at the Vice Admiral. "I am not Whitebeard's spy. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstanding?"
"At this point, you still dare to argue?!"
Vice Admiral Onigumo was furious.
Onigumo had never encountered a pirate spy like this before.
As a spy, not only had he come to the conscription point to join the Marines, but even after being discovered, he was trying to explain that there's misunderstandings with him, Vice Admiral?
Was he considering him a fool, or did he think Fleet Admiral Akainu was an idiot?
"We should have a proper conversation and clear up this misunderstanding"
Issho suggested with a frown.
He truly couldn't understand how he ended up being labeled as Whitebeard's undercover agent, and even how Marines discovered him as spy
"How long do you plan to keep hiding?"
At that moment, a deep and angry voice rang out.
The people were stirred by this voice and turned to look in its direction.
They observed a majestic man standing on the balcony of the nearby building, wearing a Marine cape, a Marines hat, and a red suit. However, one of his arms was missing.
He fixed a sharp gaze on Issho.
"Fleet Admiral Akainu!"
All the Marine officers quickly saluted the Fleet Admiral.
"I personally participated in the Festival Island War. In order to help Whitebeard escape, this person did not hesitate to act against Marines!"
"Such behavior is unquestionably a crime!"
Akainu said coldly, then waved his right hand in a commanding manner: "No need to waste time with this pirate, arrest him and send him to Impel Down!"
