Sorry, I'm Just Here for the Fun

The selection of new recruits was in full swing at the main venue.

The atmosphere in the live stream also reached a climax.

Because Hannyabal did not heed the Navy's advice to appoint Ma Qiao as technical advisor, the live broadcasts were rather monotonous.

Even so, this talent show, with its official backing, still stirred people's emotions.

All sorts of small gifts, especially free ones, were given out continuously.

This made Ma Qiao was looking at the backend data, exclaim with regret.

No script, no sob stories, no vote-buying or comeback battles—what kind of talent show is this?

Of course, if Ma Qiao were in charge of the World Government, he wouldn't agree to do these things either.

The entertainment of violent institutions, the entertainment of the military, the entertainment of politics—these are ideas only someone with a flattened forehead could come up with.

But...

Teacher Ma isn't a member of the World Government anymore. He's just a random passerby, or rather, just someone who enjoys himself.

People who love to have fun never think about making things worse.

Speaking of not liking trouble, Ma Qiao never forgot that there were three uncertainties on this island.

First, there are the CP9 agents.

Yesterday at noon, Garen reported that they encountered Spandam's small boat at sea.

Moreover, back when Garen was stationed in Water 7, he had already become close friends with the employees of the Galley-La shipyard.

He not only gained Mr. Iceburg's approval, but Barry also used him as a confidant.

Taking advantage of these convenient conditions, Garen naturally planted Vision Ward all over the Galley-La shipyard.

In this way, the agents' every move was under Ma Qiao's watchful eye.

Of course, having a field of vision is one thing, but whether you actually see it or not is another matter entirely.

Fortunately, Xin Zhao, the Xin Zhao, is indeed a reliable steward.

Since arriving in Water 7, Ma Qiao had entrusted him with the task of keeping a close eye on the minimap, and he had never made a mistake.

Besides these CP9 agents, there are two other unstable groups.

That's Blackbeard and his gang, including Ma Qiao's grandson Sabo.

Just as Ma Qiao was watching the new recruits play house and was about to fall asleep, Xin Zhao suddenly leaned down and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Excuse me, everyone, I need to take a dump." Ma Qiao stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute to those around him, and then turned and left with a cheerful, carefree gait.

Fire!

The dam has burst!

The prisoners have escaped!

Almost simultaneously, chaos erupted in multiple locations Water 7.

Hack, Karasu, Lindbergh, and others are all veteran Revolutionary Army.

This Revolutionary Army, similar to the Red Army, is adept at sabotage.

The actions of these three high-ranking officials immediately set the entire city on fire.

The thugs in the suburbs of Water 7 also took the opportunity to take to the streets and engage in some wonderful zero-dollar shopping.

The Franky Family is somewhat of an outlier.

They also dressed in strange clothes to harass pedestrians and rob them of their money.

But when Franky realized that the riot was getting out of control, he quickly took the two young female delinquents and other henchmen, rode "Blue" to various places to restrain other thugs, and even organized people to put out fires.

But the thugs, busy carrying tables and chairs to their own homes, were not so easy to control, and the situation quickly spiraled out of control.

The navy, which had taken over the city's security, and the Impel Down jailers were also exhausted from their duties.

The news quickly reached the meeting venue.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's all minor. Keep the music playing, keep dancing!"

Hannyabal was naturally unwilling to end the live stream; after all, it was just some local thugs causing trouble, a small matter compared to the Impel Down riots.

He ordered more jailers to be sent into the city to arrest troublemakers, which made security at the meeting place even more inadequate.

This is actually just a very simple diversionary tactic, but the simpler the tactic, the more effective it is.

As for Akainu, he silently took out his Mobile Den Den Mushi and opened the Didi Beatdown app. There were no orders for Water 7 on the app, so he didn't intend to leave his chair.

Admiral must maintain a high level of prestige.

If Admiral were to intervene in a mere riot by hooligans, he would be a laughingstock.

Even during the Paramount War, the Admiral remained firmly in their positions, either not taking action or exuding an air of superiority.

After Hack, Karasu, Lindbergh and their commotion, the security at the venue became increasingly weak.

Sabo didn't even use Barry's work pass this time, and easily infiltrated the shipyard again.

Based on yesterday's reconnaissance, Sabo went straight to a secluded building.

The unassuming building had a sign that read, "[Reserved server room, no unauthorized personnel allowed]".

Unlike yesterday when it was unattended.

Today, guards from Impel Down and a scorpion monster from Beast Hell stand watch here.

Impel Down is a very special location, and a sufficient amount of suppressing force must always be guaranteed.

This makes it impossible for Hannyabal to take too many high-end combat troops with him when he goes out.

He had already recruited the rather attractive Vice Warden Domino and the Chief Jailer Sadi. As the female anchor of the live broadcast room, she naturally had no choice but to bring out more capable subordinates.

Moreover, a significant portion of the troops have been drawn away by the unrest.

At this point, the server room's layout was clearly no match for Sabo's sneak attack.

The prison guards were struck down by Sabo's dragon claws before they could even sound the alarm.

Standing atop the unconscious scorpion, Sabo wore a look of delight.

This is his first time leading a mission, and it seems to be going very smoothly.

Sabo pulled out the expensive Supreme Den Den Mushi from his pocket and burst through the door.

This Supreme Den Den Mushi also functions as a portable hard drive; simply insert its antennae into the main unit, and the objective of this mission can be accomplished.

However, upon opening the door, Sabo was not greeted by a server room flashing with various lights, but by a sharp Shigan, accompanied by a whistling wind.

"Dragon Hook Claw!"

Sabo did not dodge.

Years of training in Dragon have instilled in Sabo a fighting instinct that is no less than that of any Revolutionary Army officer.

If someone is prepared but unprepared, it's very difficult to completely dodge Shigan that's so close at hand.

Let's confront them head-on!

The dragon claw and the Shigan clashed like a white rainbow piercing the sun, the fish and dragon colliding together.

If it were Sabo appearing four years later in the Dressrosa Arena, then this strike would have been fatal for Kaku.

But this was four years ago.

Although neither Sabo nor Kaku is as strong as they are four years later, it is clear that Sabo's potential for growth is far greater than Kaku's. In other words, the gap between Sabo and Kaku has narrowed at this point.

Even so, Kaku was still sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall before he could even use his Tekkai technique.

The good news is that because no Tekkai was used, Kaku only coughed up a mouthful of blood and did not lose consciousness immediately.

"CP agent? Or the East Blue Shadow Unit?"

Sabo stared gravely at the masked man lying on the ground. "That move was the Six Powers: Shigan, wasn't it...? You're CP agents!"

"Defeated... defeated... a monster like Superman actually lost..."

Spandam was so frightened by Sabo's performance that he almost dropped the Elephant Sword in his hand.

Just as he was about to turn and run away, he suddenly heard the cracking sound of finger joints twisting in the darkness.

Rob Lucci tossed his cloak onto Spandam's escape route, causing the latter to trip and fall, which brought him back to his senses.

"That's right, I haven't failed yet. I still have Rob, the strongest agent Enies Lobby has been in eight hundred years..."

"Cough cough!"

Lucci was almost driven mad by this idiot.

He used his real name while infiltrating Galley-La.

He was supposed to continue his undercover work in Galley-La, but this idiot commander almost betrayed him.

That said, using one's real name while infiltrating is such a childish mistake that it's understandable for Vivi to make it, but for all the CP spies to do the same is baffling. I don't know if the superiors are idiots or if the entire CP is just plain stupid.

To be fair, while Spandam might be a bit of an idiot and weak, his regenerative abilities are truly impressive!

Lucci remembered that he had been hit by a warship yesterday and suffered multiple fractures, but after being bandaged up, he was alive and kicking again today, as if nothing had happened.

The reason Lucci had this question was mainly because he didn't know an "ordinary person" named Usopp.

Spandam is probably just an "ordinary person" like Usopp; even with a fractured skull or a comminuted spinal fracture, he can recover quickly.

Having steadied his fleeing superior, Rob Lucci, wearing a mask, suddenly felt his muscles ripple and swell.

He instantly grew several times taller and more robust, and at the same time, he grew fur resembling that of a leopard. (See picture)

Zoan -type Cat- Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard Form, activated instantly.

From Kaku's swift defeat, Lucci had already realized that his opponent was extremely strong.

It's impossible to deal with such an enemy by playing around; we must exert all our strength.

"Zoan Devil Fruit user?"

Sabo also pulled out a water pipe from behind him, his expression serious.

Lucci swung his leopard-like arms, compressing his supple feline waist to its limit, unleashing a burst of immense elastic potential energy. "Rokushiki Ogi - Rokuogan!"

This is an advanced version of the Six Powers created by Lucci. It is a move that can only be used after mastering all Six Powers and training them to their limit. Its power is equivalent to the suicide weapon, the Sky Island's Reject Dial.

In short, this is a high-end martial art capable of severely injuring a powerhouse of Enel's caliber!

Lucci's arm swelled several times its normal size, as all the blood in his body rushed into it, strengthening his bones and muscles.

This punch carried a suffocatingly powerful force, the wind from the punch like a storm and a tsunami, pressing down on Sabo like a tidal wave.

The gate where Sabo was located was instantly deformed, twisted, and shattered by the force of the punch.

However...

Some people, on the surface, are the strongest geniuses seen only once in eight hundred years, but in reality, they suffer greatly from appearing on the scene too early.

No matter how Lucci transforms, how he roars, or how terrifying his punch is...

But ultimately, he has a fatal problem.

He doesn't know Armament Haki...

That Armament Haki from Amazon Lily / Amazon Lily is something everyone knows, something that's become commonplace in the New World...

"Dragon's Breath!"

Sabo instantly enveloped his forearms in Armament Haki, pressing his fists tightly against Lucci's massive leopard Riot Games.

They appear to be one small and one large, with an extremely disparate strength.

However, with a soft shout from Sabo, a tremendous burst of power suddenly erupted from his Riot Games, striking Lucci's forelimb at supersonic speed with a point-blank attack and enhanced by Armament Haki.

The inch-force strike, like a burst dam or a raging thunderbolt, collided with the full-force attack of Lucci, the strongest genius. The concrete ground beneath their feet cracked like a spider web.

But this stalemate did not last long.

Lucci's face turned pale, a trickle of blood appeared on his face, and he was sent flying backward.

Spandam watched the massive shadow approach, dodging left and right, but in the end, he was hit squarely by the falling Lucci.

Click, click, click!

Spandam's bones, which had just been set, broke completely again.

"I heard from my seniors that the Cipher Pol is the Revolutionary Army's greatest enemy. I thought it was something special, the strongest special agents in eight hundred years... and that's it?"

Sabo shook his head, his chest heaving violently.

The battle just now did take a toll on him, but it wasn't nearly dangerous.

He couldn't help but think that the headquarters' intelligence regarding the Cipher Pol was exaggerated.

"Oh dear, I've really been looked down upon..."

Lucci struggled to his feet and picked up the clothes he had dropped earlier.

When exerting force, it inevitably rubbed Commander Spandam's head against the hard, rough cement floor with its fat cat rear end.

"Oh? Zoan are really tough..."

Sabo nodded. "But you don't even Haki, you can't possibly be my match, give up."

Dragging his swaying body, Lucci's face revealed a hint of violence. "You blond brat, don't look down on me. I don't lack Haki not because I can't learn it, but simply because the time isn't right!"

As he spoke, Lucci, with trembling hands, groped through his tattered clothes and pulled out a large glass bottle.

"Secret medicine?"

Sabo frowned. "Are you willing to damage the very foundation of your body to stop me?"

"Damage to the foundation? If happiness can be considered a form of damage, then perhaps it is..."

Lucci opened his gaping maw, about to shatter the glass bottle in one gulp.

A refreshing aroma of wine filled the air.

Tton!

Lucci tilted his head back, downed the entire bottle of wine in one gulp, and then let out a long burp. "That felt wonderful!"

Then, Lucci's face flushed red, and all the muscles in his body suddenly began to twitch violently again.

However, this expansion is different from the previous one.

This time, his sharp, separated claws, bulging muscles, glossy cat fur, and even his unseen internal organs all slowly contracted, eventually transforming him into a near-human shape, retaining only some of the leopard's features. (See picture)

"Life Returns: Kami-e Martial Arts!"

This is Lucci's second-stage half-beast transformation, which allows his body to shrink more compactly, making his whole body look like a human, reducing strength, increasing speed, and greatly enhancing the Kami-e effect.

The so-called "Kami-e" is also one of the Six Powers.

Control your body with the ease and freedom of drawing on paper. By relaxing your entire body and taking advantage of the airflow generated when your opponent attacks, you can dodge every attack at the last second.

Simply put, this is a move that enhances evasion.

When it comes to dodging, there is an ancient Ma Family Kung Fu that is unparalleled in the world...

"Purchase 300 cases of Premium Short-Lived Ghost- Flavored Technology, plus a free comic booklet."

"I haven't mastered any of the Buddha's Palm or the Dugu Nine Swords, except for this one move Kami-e Drunken Fist, which I have some insights into... Excuse me!"

As he spoke, Lucci, drunkenly swaying like a cat, approached Sabo.
