"Is that really it?"
"His Majesty exiled him?"
Zoro and Saka, who had been prepared to fight to the death, stood with their swords raised, unable to react.
The most powerful warrior of Germa, who had charged at them so fiercely, had vanished without a trace.
So this was the power of the King of Exile?
Van Augur, Eric, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
If Wang Shi couldn't even deal with this Blue-Haired Lightning Man, they would have to find a way to escape.
But it seemed that everything was under Wang Shi's control.
Wait, if Wang Shi could exile one of the four super soldiers of the Germa Evil Legion,
did that mean he could exile the other three super soldiers just as easily?
Then what threat did the Germa Evil Legion pose to the Goa Empire?
They were safe! They were safe!
As long as they crushed the Germa Evil Legion, the name of the Goa Empire would resound throughout the world, and it would become one of the most powerful and foremost Affiliated Nations.
"The Exile Ability? It's unbelievably unreasonable!"
Zeff had been badly shaken by Niji's powerful lightning, but their King Wang Shi seemed even more bizarre and impossible to counter.
"His Majesty Wang Shi is so cool!"
Nami, Nojiko, Kaya, and the others cheered. They had more faith than ever in Wang Shi's abilities and would never again doubt his strength.
"All soldiers, heed my command! Take down the invading enemy!"
Seeing the Clone Soldiers continue their charge, Wang Shi immediately ordered a counterattack.
These emotionless cloned soldiers wouldn't stop attacking just because Niji had disappeared.
On the contrary, with Niji gone, no one remained who could give them orders, making it even less likely they would stop fighting before they were all killed.
Smith, their liaison officer, had no authority to command these Clone Soldiers.
After all, only the Vinsmoke family and a few senior scientists were permitted to command them.
"If I can't blast that lightning freak to death, I can at least blast you!"
El Drago immediately fired his Sonic Cannon at the Clone Soldiers charging fearlessly toward them.
Explosions rang out in an instant.
Van Augur and Eric also began picking off the impassive soldiers as they charged.
"Finally, I get to cut someone down!"
Zoro tied on his bandanna and entered battle mode.
These Clone Soldiers were elite troops of the Germa Evil Legion. He wouldn't underestimate them.
"Zoro, be careful. They're the evil soldiers who dominated the North Blue!"
Saka's expression was deadly serious. These Clone Soldiers were more than ten times stronger than the soldiers of the Goa Empire's Guard Army.
"If I can't even beat a bunch of nobodies, what right do I have to challenge Hawkeye Mihawk?"
Zoro's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. He charged first onto a nearby Snail Ship and plunged into a fierce battle with the mass of Clone Soldiers.
War erupted between the Guard Army of the Goa Empire and the Germa Evil Legion.
At Wang Shi's command, five warships even moved to intercept the Sasba Kingdom fleet following behind.
As for the Flaws Kingdom fleet at the rear, it had actually turned around and retreated.
The moment Wang Shi exiled Niji
had thoroughly shaken King Ba Dodeshinai.
He hurled the half-finished celebratory champagne bottle at the Minister of the Left.
The Minister of the Left was instantly covered in blood, looking utterly pitiful.
"What a load of nonsense about being the strongest warrior! He was taken out in a second!"
"I told you to send one or two more modified soldiers! It's not as if I didn't pay!"
"Damn Niji! Useless! Completely useless!"
As King Ba Dodeshinai cursed, he ordered the Guard Commander to have their fleet retreat at once.
If even the Germa Legion couldn't deal with Wang Shi, then going there now would be like feeding themselves to the enemy.
At that moment, all he wanted was to notify Vinsmoke Judge of the news immediately,
so the Germa Kingdom would send more of its strongest warriors and the Evil Legion.
Preferably, they would bring their entire force from the North Blue.
King Ba Dodeshinai also wanted to immediately unite the other Affiliated Nations of the East Blue, form an alliance, and fight the Goa Empire together—or even pressure the Goa Empire.
After the Germa Kingdom had dominated the North Blue for sixty-six days, hadn't the other kingdoms joined forces, with a little help from the World Government, to overthrow its rule?
They had even wiped out the Germa Kingdom's ancestral homeland,
reducing the Germa Kingdom to a nation without territory.
After all, one kingdom could never stand against a whole group of kingdoms.
Ba Dodeshinai refused to believe Wang Shi could keep running rampant forever!
The Flaws Kingdom fleet behind them fled outright, throwing the Sasba Kingdom fleet in the middle into a panic. Their formation immediately fell into disarray.
They were driven into a headlong scramble by just a few Goa Empire warships, and many of the Sasba Guard Army surrendered on the spot.
On the battlefield between the Goa Fleet and the Snail Ships,
the Clone Soldiers fought on fearlessly, undeterred by death. Apart from those Wang Shi had exiled, the rest were all killed by the people of the Goa Empire, either cut down or shot.
The Goa Guard Army suffered considerable casualties in the process.
The ordinary guards were indeed no match for the Clone Soldiers.
Wang Shi had tried having Sanji give the Clone Soldiers an order.
But it was obvious that the Vinsmoke family's disowned third son had no authority to command them.
Sanji could only watch as Wang Shi and the others killed the Clone Soldiers one by one while they charged and fought mindlessly.
Otherwise, there was no way to stop the Clone Soldiers from fighting.
"These soldiers are incredibly tough!"
Wang Shi casually cut down a Clone Soldier who had suddenly appeared, unable to help but marvel.
No wonder Judge and Ichiji liked using these Clone Soldiers as walls and shields to block enemy attacks.
They really were clone templates that Judge had carefully selected.
They could be used to create soldiers who were both powerful and loyal.
Sanji looked conflicted as he gazed at the Human Weapons lying in pools of blood.
Were these Clone Soldiers weapons, or living beings?
These cloned people had been stripped of their emotions, feared no death, and did nothing but obey orders.
Perhaps their very existence was a mistake.
"Damn Germa!"
Sanji muttered a curse. He felt no connection to that cold-blooded family, devoid of emotion.
He was furious and helpless over the deaths of the Clone Soldiers.
There was nothing he could do to change any of it.
"Your Majesty, these ten Snail Ships look pretty good. I just don't know how to control or command them."
Eric gazed at the technologically advanced living ships with undisguised longing.
He had heard that the Germa Evil Legion's Snail Ships could cross the Red Line and reach any of the seas.
"Your Majesty, we caught someone who can talk!"
Silver-haired Saka brought over a man wearing a Germa uniform.
This man clearly had emotions of his own, unlike the Clone Soldiers who knew only how to fight.
Smith, Germa's liaison officer, had never imagined they would be defeated so quickly.
The unstoppable second prince, Niji, had simply vanished.
Was the King of Exile's ability really that powerful?
The Goa Empire even had two powerful Devil Fruit Users, along with several formidable swordsmen and snipers.
When Smith was brought before them, his eyes widened in shock at the sight of Sanji, with his blond hair and curled eyebrows.
How could this blond, curly-browed man look so much like their prince?
