Belo Betty

There was another knock on the door of the Sirius couple's room.

"Wake up, Slyussi! Get up now, there's an urgent mission!"

Someone shouted outside the door, then hurried away.

Sirius hadn't slept at all; he was thinking about how to deal with that Vulture guy.

Here we must commend the Revolutionary Army's excellent intelligence system; the Vulture were already informed upon their arrival, indicating that there are spies within the Kingdom of Bridges.

It's understandable, after all, to fight against a spy agency like the CCP that can be said to be all-pervasive, in addition to hiding one's whereabouts, one must also be very good at both espionage and counter-espionage.

Knowing that the Vulture had arrived, Sirius began to think about how to give that bastard a big surprise.

He wanted to surprise himself last time, didn't he?

And that guy's abilities are indeed quite troublesome.

We need to think of a way to keep him here without alerting him.

"It's finally starting."

But now it seems there's no need to think about it anymore, that guy has already taken the initiative.

Sirius chuckled and stretched. "Yamato, are you ready?"

"Yeah! This time, we're going to beat that guy to a pulp!"

Yamato carried the Spiked Club that was prominently displayed on the wall on his back.

A large black sword also hangs on the wall, intersecting the original Spiked Club in an X-shape.

The house had been searched many times, but no one had noticed the two weapons hanging on the wall.

Greatswords and Spiked Club are far too common on this sea.

Sirius also slung his sword behind his back, everything was ready, now it was just a matter of seeing how that Vulture would make his move.

As they left the room, they saw many overseers rushing in one direction.

"Don't just stand there, you idiot couple!"

Someone shouted, "Hurry up and keep up! It's an important mission!"

Although only a few days had passed, Sirius companion had already become quite renowned among the overseers in the area.

After all, no one has ever seen anyone eat as much as they do.

Sirius and Yamato caught up with the advancing group.

They soon learned what the mission was.

At the end of the bridge, in the construction area, lies the break in the road.

At this moment, a large group of people were gathered here, with their backs to the broken end of the bridge. Several beams of strong light shone from the front, illuminating their faces, but also making it impossible for them to open their eyes.

There were many people, at least several thousand.

There were men and women, young and old.

Sirius and his two companions, along with all the overseers, surrounded the group; they formed the first line of defense.

Behind the overseers was the country's army.

The outermost layer consisted of naval personnel who had come to provide support from surrounding Marine Base.

It's fair to say that this group of people under the spotlight were completely surrounded.

"What are they trying to do?"

Yamato couldn't help but ask.

"Who knows?"

A guy next to me, whose face I recognized, yawned. "Probably another search. It's never going to end."

Is it really just a search?

Sirius, however, did not think so.

The previous searches were completely different from this one.

So, what exactly is that Vulture guy trying to do?

Sirius looked back.

Behind the densely packed crowd was a group of portly kingdom officials, with no trace of CP0.

Sirius used his Observation Haki to carefully search the area and indeed detected several auras far exceeding the level that this country should have, but none of them were of the level of Vulture.

That guy has gone into hiding.

He can shrink his body, and his aura will weaken accordingly, making it no easy task to find him.

Ahead, among the people gathered around, the fat man muttered a complaint, "It goes on and on, what are they doing? Can't a person get a proper night's sleep?"

He sighed repeatedly.

Luo, who was sitting next to him with his baseball cap pulled low, glanced at him sideways.

I sleep like a log every night, snoring loudly, and you're telling me I didn't sleep well?

Noticing Luo's gaze, the fat man said, "Hey bro, you too! You've got dark circles under your eyes. Men need to take care of themselves too."

That's what I was born with.

Luo whispered, "The situation isn't good."

"What?"

The fat man was somewhat confused.

"I said, the situation is very bad now."

"Sinners!"

Suddenly, a loud and resounding voice boomed across the night sky.

"The government has forgiven you and has not taken your lives for your atrocities. It is simply asking you to atone for your evil deeds through your labor."

"But instead of being grateful, you actually dare to collude with Great Sinner who is attempting to overthrow this country and is hostile to the government!"

"The government is indeed tolerant, but such tolerance can never be unlimited!"

"Since you remain so stubborn, then now, pay the price for your crimes."

By this point, even the most oblivious person would realize something was wrong.

"Wait, wait, what does this mean?"

Sweat beaded on the fat man's forehead. He shouted, "Who colluded with some Great Sinner? No, or rather, I'm completely innocent! You've forgiven a damn fool!"

Nobody paid any attention to him.

The resounding voice simply said, "Raise your guns!"

The overseers, the guards, and the sailors all raised their weapons at the same time.

Of course, the overseers all carried ordinary swords or pistols.

But the two armies were different; their superior firearms were now aimed at the unarmed laborers.

The workers immediately erupted in uproar.

The sounds of wailing, arguing, and desperate curses filled the air in an instant.

But nobody cared.

"Either jump down yourselves, or we'll do it ourselves. Choose, sinners!" The booming voice carried a hint of glee.

"No way! These guys are serious!"

The fat man, his face ashen, swayed and sat down on the ground. "What a joke! I'm Marine Colonel!"

Is there any point in saying these things at this point?

Luo glanced at him.

"No, I just don't understand, what was the righteous navy, the old me, fighting for?!" the fat man roared hoarsely, tears welling up in his eyes.

Luo said, "It's not time to despair yet; you'll soon see a pleasant surprise."

"Surprise?"

Of course, no one jumped down voluntarily.

This bridge is hundreds of meters high; even if there's sea below, jumping off would instantly result in being smashed to pieces.

"Is that so? Then, all of you, listen to my command!"

The voice rang out again.

All the soldiers had their fingers on the trigger.

The trapped laborers were almost in despair.

Even the wailing had stopped.

But it was at this time...

"Stop it. You're looking for me, aren't you? I'm right here."

A voice suddenly rang out from the darkness behind them.

Slightly lazy.

Clap clap clap

Several beams of light shone on, instantly illuminating the tall figure standing on the rooftop behind.

"You've finally shown up!! You Great Sinner! Belo Betty!!"
