The Chapter get Retranslated
"Geppo!"
"Snap, snap..."
The air continuously burst with sharp cracks. A huge, blood-soaked jackal, its clothes torn into strips, soared up using Geppo.
"You hateful bastard, don't get too arrogant..."
His furious and murderous eyes, seemingly spewing fire, glared at Ichiji, who had appeared above the city wall at some unknown point. His wolf legs continuously kicked out: "Rankyaku: Pack of Wolves!"
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
One after another, fierce slashes transformed into wolf shapes.
"Roar—"
Fiery giant wolves, mouths agape, lunged at Ichiji, making one's scalp tingle!
"Boom..."
Dust and smoke filled the air from the city wall, obscuring the view.
"That's..."
"It's flying in the air!"
"Is he a Devil Fruit user?"
The Royal Army soldiers, who were beginning to arrive, were all dumbfounded, their scalps tingling.
"Bang!"
"Cough cough..."
Fukurou, spitting blood, struggled free and fell to the ground: "Kumadori, how are you?" Above, on the city wall, there was a shocking human-shaped hole.
His right hand was twisted unnaturally; one could even see the bone, bloody white, severely fractured.
"Pfft... This level... it won't... kill me!"
Kumadori was even more miserable, bleeding profusely, with countless broken ribs.
The long staff in his hand had snapped into two pieces; it had been kicked clean through!
"Bang!!"
Before the two could even struggle to their feet, a figure was violently hurled over, crashing down in front of them.
"Lord Ichiji!?"
The Royal Army general recognized Ichiji.
He glanced at the hotel building in the capital that had been split in two, as if cut by a sharp weapon, slowly sliding and collapsing, and then at the figure lying there, almost unrecognizably battered. His heart trembled, but he forced himself to approach.
He cautiously asked, "Excuse me, what just happened?"
"You may all withdraw..."
Ichiji calmly swept his gaze over the general, his eyes, visible through the black goggles, carrying a dangerous aura: "'The rebel forces that infiltrated the capital have all been suppressed.' I don't think I need to teach you this step-by-step, do I?"
"Yes, I understand..."
The general, dripping with cold sweat, quickly turned and shouted to the Royal Army behind him: "The rebel remnants who infiltrated the capital attempting to assassinate the King have been suppressed by Lord Ichiji of Germa! Immediately notify His Majesty and everyone, so they need not worry!"
"...Yes!!!"
Ignoring the Royal Army, who began to calm and disperse the panicked citizens and report to the palace, Ichiji stepped forward.
"Jabra..."
Fukurou quickly went forward and helped up Jabra, who was deeply embedded in the large pit, having reverted from his beast form and now a bloody mess. Though he was still stubbornly conscious, he couldn't move.
"Cough cough, to be this strong..."
Kumadori endured the intense pain in his body, straightened his tall frame, and "looked down" at Ichiji who was walking over, blood continuously oozing from his mouth.
Looking at the three half-dead individuals, Ichiji shook his head with some disappointment: "You three have truly disappointed me!"
Five years ago, he had finally persuaded Vinsmoke Judge to "befriend" Spandine, who was then the CP9 Director, through the connections Germa 66 had gradually accumulated over the years.
It cost a considerable price to get that greedy and cunning Spandine to agree to let him receive CP9 training and learn the Six Powers.
It was during that period that, as the eldest son of the Vinsmoke family and the future first-in-line heir to the Germa Kingdom, he came to Enies Lobby in the first half of the Grand Line and met Rob Lucci and other elite new generation CP9 members.
The World Government was rife with factions and complex relationships. Spandine, being able to climb to the position of CP9 Director and having hopes of further advancement, naturally didn't get there solely on his own merit, and he naturally had no shortage of political enemies.
In reality, Ichiji had effectively served as a "hostage" for a period, as a demonstration of Germa 66's "sincerity" in truly cooperating with Spandine. This continued until Germa 66 helped him deal with a political enemy whom CP9 found inconvenient to handle.
That hateful political enemy controlled the CP7 agency. Although his status was inferior to Spandine's, the family power behind him was not weak, and he intended to compete with Spandam, Spandine's son, for the position of CP9 Director. This was something Spandine could not tolerate.
In return, Spandine, who was then the CP9 Director, also gradually showed a good deal of "sincerity." Some of the confidential information he held was precisely what Germa 66 sorely lacked.
Thanks to the confidential information he provided about high-ranking government officials, Germa 66 had gained considerable influence within the World Government over the years, and the "connections" it had made were clearly not limited to Spandine alone.
Therefore, Ichiji's stay on Enies Lobby was not long, and he did not leave after mastering all of the Six Powers techniques. Instead, once the "deal" between Spandine and Germa was successfully concluded, he returned to North Blue with the Six Powers training methods.
"Five years, almost no growth! Have you been too busy with missions to train? Or have your opponents always been so weak that you believed mastering 'Six Powers' made you a powerhouse on this sea?"
Against these guys, let alone Haki, he didn't even use half of his strength.
"..."
Kumadori, Fukurou, and the unable-to-speak Jabra all gritted their teeth, silently seething with indignation.
Five years ago, they were confident they wouldn't lose to this guy.
Even with differences in talent, the gap shouldn't be this wide.
Perhaps Vinsmoke Ichiji was entirely correct.
"This matter is probably that idiot Spandam's own idea, right..."
Ichiji naturally knew Spandine somewhat.
Although greedy, he wasn't so unwise. It was obvious that his useless son, Spandam, had done this behind his back.
Over the years, under his deliberate guidance, Germa 66 and Spandine had too many dark, unsavory dealings. They were fixed by a strong bond of mutual interest. Spandine, with his dirty dealings, clearly understood Germa's power and wouldn't dare to easily "abandon" them.
Why had every spy the World Government sent to infiltrate Germa invariably been exposed?
Among the intelligence personnel trained by the World Government, some special ability users were quite troublesome.
One spy who infiltrated Germa once was a Clone-Clone Fruit user. If it weren't for Spandine's intelligence, they wouldn't have been able to easily uncover him!
If Spandine wasn't still useful to Germa, Ichiji wouldn't have let him off so easily after today's incident.
"However, this matter must be used to send a warning to Spandine. Otherwise, that guy might genuinely think Germa is a mud statue that won't get angry."
With a cold laugh, he ignored the battered trio of Fukurou.
Sitting on a nearby "rubble," Ichiji took out his Den Den Mushi and contacted Germa's headquarters...
[PS: To clarify, in this novel's setting, the previous user of the Clone-Clone Fruit ability was a CP spy, and then Mr. 2 acquired it later due to certain reasons. This is not a typo.]
