Justice

The Chief Judge stared at Xi Yan with an ugly expression, clearly never expecting him to have made his way into his room.

Most importantly, the gold and silver jewelry he had hidden had been discovered. How had the other party done it?

Perhaps seeing the Chief Judge's confusion, Xi Yan explained, "I came for you in the first place. I just happened to find your room."

For a Ninja, searching a room for hidden things was no difficult task.

After discovering the treasures, Xi Yan had unceremoniously stored them away using a Sealing Scroll.

There was no reason to be polite with an enemy!

"Bastard, those are stolen goods we seized from pirates!" Right Head roared. "You actually dared to touch them?!"

"You hid stolen goods in your own room?"

"What's wrong with the Chief Judge of justice confiscating stolen goods from pirates?"

That money had all been robbed by pirates. The Chief Judge did not think there was anything wrong with what he had done, and privately dealing with part of the treasure was also an Unspoken rule on their side.

"Hmm, reasonable." Xi Yan nodded. "Then there's nothing wrong with me confiscating your stolen goods, either."

"After all, we're enemies~"

As soon as those words fell, the Chief Judge's expression darkened further.

Yes, if one insisted on putting it that way, there was nothing wrong with what the other party had done. After all, he was an evil pirate!

"No, this guy must be bluffing us," the left head said. "Didn't you notice that he isn't carrying anything?"

If he had truly taken all that treasure, he would at least need a large bag to hold it. This kid only had a small weapon in his hand. Something's wrong.

"Whatever you say." Xi Yan shook his head, then said seriously, "Alright, I'll give you a chance. Tell me where Nico Robin and Franky are, and I can consider sparing you."

"We'll give you a chance too. Get on your knees and admit your mistake, and we can still give you a quick death!" the right head said.

"Then you should lie down first!"

The moment he finished speaking, Xi Yan instantly appeared before the Chief Judge and drove a vicious punch into his abdomen!

The Chief Judge's pupils immediately contracted. He instinctively tried to counterattack, but Xi Yan was obviously faster.

"Take my punch!"

Bang!

The immense force made the Chief Judge's eyeballs bulge out as he was sent flying.

Whoosh~

Boom!!

He flew into the distance and smashed through part of the stairs.

"Pfft..."

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Chief Judge's face turned much paler.

He had never expected the skinny-looking kid before him to be so strong. The power he unleashed in an instant was terrifying, nearly knocking him unconscious.

"Hey, are you alright?" the left head asked.

"I'm fine..." the Chief Judge said shakily.

"Evil pirate, I..."

Before the right head could finish, Xi Yan interrupted him. "There's no need to say such nonsense."

Standing atop a stair railing nearby, Xi Yan stared at the Chief Judge with a pair of Sharingan. "Tell me, where are Nico Robin and Franky?"

The instant the left and right heads saw Xi Yan's eyes, their own eyes lost their light, and they stood motionless like puppets.

"You think I'll tell you..."

"Nico Robin is in the building behind us. You..."

Chief Judge:!!!

The Chief Judge looked at his companions in disbelief. Although they had pocketed a little money, they had never stood on the wrong side when it came to major principles.

What did these two mean now? Were they selling out information to save their own lives?!

"Bastard!!"

He did not give the right head a chance to continue. He immediately burst out from his clothes, snatched the broadsword from the right head's hand, and slashed at the left head.

"Pfft!"

With one slash, Left Head was instantly severely wounded. He lowered his head and lost consciousness.

Without giving Right Head a chance to speak, the Chief Judge swung his saber again.

"Pfft!"

Watching the Chief Judge take them out one slash at a time, Xi Yan's eyelid twitched. Wasn't this a little too ruthless?

To keep the information from leaking, he had directly chopped down both of them?

Xi Yan examined the two people who had fallen, then looked at the Chief Judge. His gaze became somewhat strange.

So this guy was not a three-headed freak. It was three people hiding inside one set of clothes. What was the point of that?

After doing this, the Chief Judge leaned on his long saber, gasping heavily as he said:

"Even... even if I don't know how you did it, you... you can forget about getting information from me..."

"Why bother?"

"I admit that I do have some bad habits, and I've indulged those two guys in skimming a little money." The Chief Judge said, "But... Kid, don't underestimate the justice I've upheld for decades!!"

The enraged Chief Judge suddenly sprang up, raised his long saber, and slashed it down at Xi Yan's head.

The Chief Judge did not hold back with this strike. He knew perfectly well that his condition would not allow him to make a second strike, so this slash would decide life or death!

Clang~

Bang!

"Wha...?!"

Looking at the great saber Xi Yan had shattered with a single punch, a trace of confusion appeared in the Chief Judge's eyes.

The other party had actually reached his side in an instant, struck his saber, and shattered it... Was this the strength of the pirates who had invaded Judicial Island this time?

No wonder the Marines who came to report earlier had said there was no way to quickly take down this group of pirates.

If they were all this strong, only CP9 could defeat them. No matter how many ordinary soldiers went up, they would only be throwing away their lives!

The Chief Judge knew clearly what a strong person meant to ordinary people.

Pfft pfft pfft!

A large number of shattered blade fragments flew out and pierced the Chief Judge's body, causing his already unsteady body to gradually go limp.

Blood flowed down the stairs and eventually dripped onto the carpet below, making the already vivid red carpet even more brilliant.

His body also began to move little by little, sliding downward along the trail of blood.

"Perhaps the justice you've carried for decades is very heavy, but... I have reasons why I must do this too." Xi Yan looked at the Chief Judge. "Rest well."

After saying that, Xi Yan no longer paid attention to the Chief Judge, whose eyes were gradually losing their light, and turned to leave.

The other party had just said it was the building behind this Judgement Hall.

Since he had already obtained this crucial information, there was no need to waste any more time here.

After hearing Xi Yan's words, the Chief Judge's eyes gradually regained their light, as though he had experienced a final flash of life.

He struggled to turn his head and looked laboriously in Xi Yan's direction.

"Kid!"

Xi Yan stopped walking and replied without turning around, "What, are you still going to persist?"

"Hehe, you won't succeed." The Chief Judge sneered. "Do you really think you can rescue Nico Robin just because you defeated me?"

"Why do you think this Judicial Island has stood for eight hundred years without falling?!"

"Don't worry. Someone will come deal with you soon. When that time comes, what awaits you will be doomsday!!"

"You mean CP9." Xi Yan said. "Don't worry. Their fate won't be much better than yours."

After saying that, Xi Yan vanished from where he stood.

The Chief Judge did not hear Xi Yan's words, because after speaking his final sentence, his consciousness had already begun to fade.

At that point, he could no longer hear any movement from the outside world.

In the following few short seconds, the Chief Judge recalled his life. It had been a magnificent life!

"Teacher... my justice has never faded..."
