Who am I? Where am I? What should I eat tonight?
Fwo was completely dumbfounded!
Not to mention Fwo, even Momousagi was completely dumbfounded...
She was the only one present capable of stopping the attack, but even with her caution, she was only worried that Shiryu might become enraged and kill Vice Admiral Fwo. Who knew...
I didn't even have time to react!
After a moment of silence, screams, shouts of alarm, and curses erupted from the scene. Just then, Shiryu roared, "Don't move! Anyone who disobeys will be considered a traitor and executed on the spot!"
With a shout, Conqueror's Haki swept across the area— Sig's Conqueror's Haki was naturally under his complete control, and at this moment he controlled it to a level that could intimidate without stunning ordinary marines, which was much more difficult than a normal outburst of Conqueror's Haki.
At the same time, "Shiryu" also secretly applied "appeasement" to several specific targets.
Fwo, who should have immediately launched an attack, was now locked onto by Shiryu's undisguised murderous intent. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he couldn't utter a word.
The marine who was slashed did not die— Sig was a master surgeon and had studied Trafalgar Law's body for quite some time. He also had a basic understanding of the "Op-Op Fruit." If he didn't want Law to die, Law wouldn't die, and the amount of bleeding was not even significant.
However, he was now trembling with fear, lying on the table behind him, feeling cold all over and all his strength drained away—partly from fear, and partly from the fact that Sig had hypnotized him, making him feel that he couldn't move.
Meanwhile, Shiryu calmly stepped forward and removed some remaining contents from his stomach...
"Is this meat residue? My entire stomach and intestines, apart from this tiny bit I just ate, have absolutely no meat residue left! And Oxtail Seaweed... this is the residue of the cheapest oyster!"
Shiryu slammed a handful of messy things onto the table.
Whether it was Momousagi who Shiryu, Momousagi's subordinates, the branch navy members present, or even Fwo, they were all completely dumbfounded.
Shiryu's judgment was professional, the current situation...
Just to prove the cafeteria's menu was fake, you killed a Marine?
Aren't you the one who should be under scrutiny the most?
I, Vice Admiral Fwo, may have embezzled military funds, extorted Affiliated Nation, and collaborated with pirates, but I have never been as arrogant as you, brazenly and openly killing innocent marines in front of everyone!
Compared to you, I'm just a good navy officer!
While "Shiryu" appears unrestrained and seemingly insane, Sig has actually been secretly and cautiously using his "Visionary" abilities to guide the thinking of the thousands of people in the large dining hall.
They constantly try to exclude certain individuals who want to jump out and criticize them, just to make their own ideas flow smoothly.
Otherwise, Shiryu wouldn't be afraid of them swarming him in terms of current strength, but if they were to rebel and claim that the inspector disregarded the lives of the lower-ranking naval officers and acted recklessly, thus inciting everyone to resist, the mission would be impossible to complete.
"You, step forward and tell me... what the real menu was today and yesterday," Shiryu said, looking at a marine beside him.
As he spoke, Shiryu removed his blood-stained gloves.
Sig had long noticed that the marines in the mess hall were different from the trusted men Fwo had brought—it wasn't that Fwo didn't want to play the part, but that he genuinely didn't have that many trusted men.
After all, among the naval division commanders, he was one of the more excessive in his actions, even embezzling military supplies. Otherwise, if it were just a matter of extortion, Sengoku might not have taken any action against him.
The navy man Shiryu looking at still had two drops of blood on his face—splattered there earlier.
At this moment, he stammered, "Reporting... to... the officer..."
"Wait! Shiryu! What have you done, you jailer? How dare you kill me..." Fwo managed to ask.
However, Shiryu just glared at him and said, "Shut up!" Then, Shiryu slowly put on a new pair of gloves.
After glancing at Commander Fwo, the young marine, who had initially been hesitant to tell the truth, immediately recited every recipe he could remember, not daring to lie in the slightest.
He was also thinking to himself—if he didn't tell the truth, wouldn't this new helmsman's gloving be meant for him?
However, he was wrong. Shiryu then took out a small box from his pocket, inside which were... sterile needles and thread.
As Shiryu sewed on the motionless sailor lying on the table, he continued to ask, "Oh? So, this recipe is fake? What kind of vegetables do you usually eat, and only occasionally do you have cured meat? Then how come you have physical training?"
"Reporting to the sir, we haven't had proper training in a long time..."
"Hmm? But you've won a few battles recently? Could it be... you're lying to me?"
"No! No, sir! It's... it's Commander Fwo's elite troops! They're trained, they eat differently than us, and... and among the pirates we've wiped out recently, two were merchant caravans! It was on those two occasions that we got to eat cured meat."
"Shut up! You're talking nonsense... You private first class, what evidence do you have...?"
Seeing that his life and death were at stake, Fwo knew that "appeasement" would not work.
Unless Sig undergoes deep hypnosis, although Fwo is weak, has been quite lazy in recent years, has gained weight in middle age, and his strength has declined, deep hypnosis still requires some action. Moreover, if it is truly deep hypnosis, Sig is afraid that Momousagi will see through his disguise.
"I'm asking a question, is it your turn to interrupt?" Shiryu glared at him, and... his "needlework" didn't stop.
Fwo felt the pressure and knew he couldn't win a fight, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Shiryu! You... abused your power and killed the branch marines! I... I'm going to report this to headquarters! Brothers, he doesn't value our lives..."
Shiryu stopped what he was doing, turned to the side, and looked at Fwo, saying, "First of all... call me Shiryu Vice Admiral Shiryu. Secondly, who said I killed any marines from the branch? Haven't you had enough of lying down yet?"
As Shiryu spoke, he lifted the young navy man lying on the table. The young man, now unhypnotized and instead soothed, immediately realized... he seemed alright?
The young marine looked at the fine stitches on his stomach with fear and surprise, and even patted it, trembling as he said, "I... I'm alright? Ah! I'm really alright?"
Seeing this, the naval soldiers who were initially afraid of Shiryu finally calmed down, their will to resist greatly diminished, and they were completely pushed towards the direction of "the inspector is doing this entirely for our sake," "the higher-ups are really going to clean up the G8 Branch," and "this time it's for real, we have to report everything Commander Fwo has done"...
