On the other hand—

South Blue.

Firland Kingdom.

After entrusting Vinsmoke Judge with the warning to Spandam, Ichiji put away his Den Den Mushi, his expression somewhat blank as he scrutinized the half-dead Owl trio.

"You should be glad you haven't actually run onto Germa's ship yet, otherwise it wouldn't be this simple..."

Amidst Owl and the others' complex gazes of fear, awe, and resentment, Ichiji stood up and walked directly towards the palace, saying without looking back, "This time, consider yourselves lucky, but there won't be a next time!"

He had no intention of recruiting them. These individuals, brainwashed by the World Government since childhood, would not have their inner beliefs easily shaken without experiencing a taste of "despair."

With Ichiji's previous orders, the King's Army naturally dared not approach this area, and even actively drove away busybodies who wanted to spectate, which saved some trouble.

It wasn't until Ichiji's figure disappeared that the trio finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah~~ that bastard, he really hits hard~~"

Grimacing, Kumadori threw away his two broken staves and staggered forward to help Jabra, who was covered in blood.

Just then.

"Bo-lulu-lulu..."

From Jabra's tattered and somewhat torn clothes, the sound of a Den Den Mushi rang out.

"It must be that idiot Spandam!"

With several teeth knocked out, making his speech a bit airy, Jabra's voice was extremely weak, and he could barely stand on his own, yet he gritted his teeth.

If it weren't for that idiotic fellow's fanciful, self-important notions, they wouldn't have been abused to this extent by that monster, Vinsmoke Ichiji.

Fortunately, though heavily injured, they were still alive. They would recover after a period of rest.

However, they needed treatment as soon as possible, otherwise they might suffer permanent disabilities, which would be troublesome.

Given Spandam's utterly petty demeanor, if they were truly crippled because of this, he would probably discard them like roadside trash.

"Moshi moshi, is that Jabra?"

From the Den Den Mushi, an ugly face appeared, seemingly nervous and flustered: "It's me, your respected superior Spandam. You haven't started infiltrating Germa yet, have you? Listen, the mission is cancelled, come back immediately, understand?

"If something goes wrong, it'll be terrible. My dad wouldn't scare me on purpose!"

Spandam's words made the Owl trio look at each other in bewilderment.

Anger and dissatisfaction rose in their hearts. If that was the case, why didn't you say so earlier, leaving the three of us in such a miserable state?

"Commander, you've really put us through hell, chababa~~~"

"Eh? What's wrong?"

"Commander Spandam~~~"

Kumadori shook his head, complaining, "If you had said something earlier, the three of us wouldn't have been severely injured by that monster, Vinsmoke Ichiji~~~"

"...What!?"

A flurry of activity, and the Den Den Mushi showed a face filled with shock: "Aren't you all superhumans? How could a mere sixteen-year-old kid be your match? Were you accidentally exposed and surrounded by Germa's army?"

"The situation is very complicated, cough cough, it's hard to explain in a few words. I'll report to you later..." Jabra, trembling, took the Den Den Mushi, enduring the severe pain, and gritted his teeth: "In short, please stop talking nonsense, Commander Spandam, please send someone to pick us up quickly, and a doctor too. The three of us need urgent treatment..."

...

The capital city was still somewhat noisy.

Under the King's Army's appeasement, the panicking citizens, still shaken, returned to their homes. Only residents whose houses were completely destroyed by the battle were on the verge of tears.

Such a sudden "big event" naturally extinguished the enthusiasm of Angus IX and his ministers and noble officials who were at a banquet in the palace.

Some "bold individuals," under the protection of a large King's Army force, came to the palace gate and peered out.

"Hey, hey, Ichiji, you made quite a ruckus, didn't you?"

At the palace gate, Niji pointed his thumb towards the large building that Ichiji had sliced in half with a Rankyaku and had now collapsed. He was somewhat speechless.

He smelled strongly of alcohol, but wasn't drunk at all.

However, he seemed somewhat schadenfreude, not directed at Ichiji, but at Angus IX, whose face was still pale and filled with lingering fear.

Upon receiving the report from the King's Army general, he naturally truly believed that they were assassins sent by rebels to kill him.

This time, a Germa expert happened to step in and resolve it, but what if there was a next time? Such a terrifying confrontation, his King's Army alone probably wouldn't be able to stop it, so how could he feel at ease?

"The enemies are not simple, there's nothing to be done..."

Shrugging slightly, Ichiji took off his gloves and said carelessly, "They might be from the 'Revolutionary Army'!"

"What!?"

"The Revolutionary Army?"

"No way..."

Not only Angus IX, but even the ministers and nobles turned pale, almost collapsing to the ground.

How could they not know about the Revolutionary Army, who preached "equality for all, democracy and freedom" and even aimed to overthrow the World Government?

Over the years, many nobles and kings had their regimes overthrown by the Revolutionary Army and were publicly executed on execution platforms.

If they were indeed from the Revolutionary Army, would these failed conspirators who tried to overthrow the kingdom's government continue to assassinate them?

"Let's end today's banquet here. Thank you all from Firland for your warm hospitality."

Having just disciplined Jabra and the others, Ichiji had no intention of comforting them or attending the banquet further.

He glanced at the black boxes being carried by the Germa 66 soldiers and directly asked the squad leader: "Has the payment been settled?"

"Your Highness, it has been settled..."

The squad leader respectfully replied, "The amount is correct."

"Then let's go back..."
