Spandam

Man was sent to prison for his failure, I guess.

Weird, considering when Lucci and Spandam fucked up, they were given promotions.

Jinbe shows us all what he's made of, though, and literally breaks Who's-Who's fingers mid-attack.

Jinbe, you bad mother lover.

From there, CP9's independent report was serialized on the covers, and CP9 was accused of failing their mission.

Director Spandam took advantage of that, so P- CP9 vanished into the wind.

That was the beginning of their training to become even stronger.

Meanwhile, Spandam somehow became the head of CP0 through the influence of his father, Spandine.

Then Lucci and his friends teamed up with Spandine to uncover a criminal conspiracy by underworld bigwigs and former Level 6 prisoners, and destroyed the organization to stop it.

Due to that incident, Lucci and his friends returned to the el- intelligence service as CP0 agents.

Spandine later fell sick..." uh, "Spandine later fell sick, lost much of in- in- lost much of his influence, causing Spandam to be demoted to Lucci's underling." [laughs]

[blows raspberry]

The world government's insistence that it represents justice becomes increasingly questionable because the narrative repeatedly exposes the inequalities and violence that its authority protects.

Can't believe in the last section I also forgot to mention the political portion of Water Seven, but yeah, that's another piece where we get an expansion of the corruptness of the world government with Spandam and everything else.

Anyways, that's not the point.

We'll talk about this when we get to Marineford.

S- you know, we have, um...

I guess the, the longer long-run villains would be what? Um, Eneru, Crocodile, and Spandam for me so far.

Mm, yeah.

I guess Spa- Spandam is, uh-

I guess he is the villain.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Um-

michael jackson and horty jones Yeah, no, I don't think that.

Mick Foley and Spandam.

Like Jim Carrey and

To avoid execution, he agreed to build the Sea Train for the government.

However, after construction was completed, in a plot to acquire the blueprints to the ancient weapon Pluton, CP9's Spandam used Franky's battleships to stage an attack on Water 7.

In the end, Tom received the blame for the attack and was sentenced to death.

In an effort to stop CP9, Franky hits Spandam's face with a rifle, permanently scarring him.

And he also stood in the way of the Sea Train in an effort to stop it from taking Tom to Enies Lobby, which horribly wounded Franky.

However, in a stroke of real genius, Franky was able to rebuild himself into the cyborg that we know and love today.

Speaking of Spandam, though, he started in the family espionage business early following in the footsteps of his father, Spandine.

He and the rest of the CP9 members from the Enies Lobby arc are also pictured here as kids.
