"Enough already, you idiot!"
Spandam roared in anger. Watching someone commit seppuku hundreds of times in a year without shedding a drop of blood was a scene he was long tired of!
Thud!
He hurled the coffee cup heavily, and it hit the big fat face of the owl squarely.
"Duang!"
The cup bounced back hard, and the scalding coffee splashed all over his face.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!!"
Spandam screamed, clutching his face, his embarrassment turning to fury. "Someone, take these three useless fools away and lock them in the dungeon confinement room! Without my orders, nobody is to release them!"
"Also, have someone contact Navy Headquarters and inform them of Buggy's attack on the CP9 agents. Tell them to increase the bounty and intensify the hunt!"
"Yes, sir!"
The three agents were taken away. Spandam leaned on the table, his expression sullen.
Recently, Green Orge Dorry and Red Orge Brogy broke through Judicial Island, and as the CP9 chief, he should have been held accountable.
Fortunately, his father Spandam managed to maneuver in front of the Five Elders to barely save his position, but a detailed report was required afterward.
Now it seems.
Perhaps he could shift the blame onto these three idiots.
They can't accomplish anything but waste time; in the future, they might cause more trouble. He can't let them drag his valuable self down...
"That's the plan!"
Spandam sneered coldly, his mood slightly brighter, ordering the servant to brew another cup of coffee, and he ascended alone to the top of the Judicial Tower's outdoor observation deck.
The sea wind howled, and the white flag of the World Government on the flagpole overhead fluttered fiercely in the wind.
He sipped his coffee contentedly, gazing down at this sleepless city that belonged to him.
The taste of power, ah, it truly was mesmerizing.
He had spent only four years in CP5 gilding his credentials and another four becoming the highest officer of CP9. Was it because he was strong or his business abilities outstanding?
Of course not!
Heck, it was all because he had a good father and a good family, allowing him to ascend effortlessly and enjoy a life that commoners couldn't even dream of...
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Spandam squinted his eyes.
He noticed something bright flickering in the distant sky, rapidly approaching with rolling thunder and dense clouds along the way...
"A meteor?"
Spandam squinted his eyes, staring at the increasingly close cyan light.
"No..."
His pupils contracted sharply, "That's... Kaido?!!"
The cyan light drew closer, finally revealing its true form—a massive cyan dragon, covering the sky as it swooped down at an astonishing speed!
It's really that guy!
Four Emperors Kaido, how did he end up coming to Judicial Island?
Spandam's face turned ghostly white, his legs went weak, nearly unable to stand.
This was far more terrifying than those two giants last time!
He hurriedly turned, wanting to rush back inside the tower, but at this moment—
Boom!!!
A figure was swatted by the Cyan Dragon's tail, plummeting like a meteor towards the Judicial Tower!
Spandam heard the sound of wind behind his ears, instinctively turning his head.
The figure rapidly enlarged in his vision; it was a rather familiar black-haired youth, furiously cursing the sky:
"It's a sneak attack, huh, you old thing, you really lack martial virtue!!"
Bang!
In an instant, he was hit precisely. The youth's hard elbow, made of who knows what, slammed into his chest, directly blasting his heart and surrounding blood vessels away.
How could I...
Spandam's lips trembled, looking down at the hollow in his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief, his career was just reaching its peak—
"To die in a place like this..."
Before he could finish, his body collapsed backward like a rag, smashing heavily on the ground, completely lifeless.
...
The dust cleared.
Shano stood up from the rubble, grinning and baring his teeth, brushing the dust off his clothes, he looked down at the corpse with some surprise.
What a coincidence?
Earlier when Kaido landed in Water Capital, he took Lucci with him, and when Shano landed, he took Spandam?
The most unpleasant two scumbags of CP9 ended up in remarkably similar ways!
"Uro lo lo lo lo!"
Kaido, transformed into the Cyan Dragon, laughed loudly from the air, "Kid, your face-landing style is rather unique!"
"If it wasn't for you striking so suddenly?"
Shano instantly became angry, that old slippery eel, he ought to wait for him to land, instead of launching an ambush the moment Judicial Island appeared in the sights!
"No choice, isn't this Judicial Island's territory now? Fighting is a given, I'm a pirate, what rules are there? If you want to blame someone, blame your poor Observation Haki practice!"
"My Observation Haki is indeed weak!"
Shano didn't deny it, baring a sinister smile, "But my physique and Armament Haki are entirely different, hurry down here and taste my fists, you old geezer!!!"
"That's what I want!"
Kaido laughed wildly as he dove down, his dragon form quickly contracting back to human shape mid-air, the Wolf Fang Club in hand, wrapped in black and red lightning, smashing down!
"Thundering Hakken!!!"
Shano didn't dodge, crossing his arms to withstand the attack directly.
The terrifying shockwave exploded from the two as the center, instantly obliterating the fluttering white flag at the peak into gray ash.
And the remaining walls of the Judicial Tower crumbled like paper under this power!
Their bodies fell layer by layer, crashing through numerous walls, finally booming onto the vacant land at the center of Judicial Island.
This massive commotion finally alerted the guards across Judicial Island.
