Spandine

Jaguar D. Saul looked at Lin Yan intently and asked.

With the Buster Call looming, he had virtually no choice but to trust this mysterious figure before him.

Putting aside the fact that he is a giant, such a conspicuous target could not possibly escape from under the Navy's nose.

Just these past few days with Robin.

Jaguar D. Saul had long considered the adorable little guy his friend.

People like him.

I would never abandon my friends!

"Very well, since you've agreed to the deal, I'll collect my payment after everything is over."

Seeing Jaguar D. Saul's decision, Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Then, to Jaguar D. Saul's utter bewilderment, he suddenly vanished from the spot.

Jaguar D. Saul:...

Are you kidding me?!

What happened to the deal?!

Is it really okay for you to sneak away by yourself?

However, now was clearly not the time to talk about these things. Although he was somewhat annoyed at being tricked by this mysterious guy, Jaguar D. Saul quickly came to his senses.

Even if I'm the only one left, I must protect Robin's safety!

She's still a child!

Thinking of this, Jaguar D. Saul didn't care about anything else and hurriedly rushed towards the Tree of Knowledge.

At this moment, Lin Yan arrived at the sea area on the outskirts of Ohara.

He wasn't framing Jaguar D. Saul.

Instead, we need to stay here and buy the necessary time for everything that follows!

"Well, let me teach you a lesson first."

Lin Yan stood tall on the sea, then snapped her fingers with a smile.

Although he didn't intend to directly attack the Navy this time, out of a desire to protect Robin, he didn't do what he did with Little Hancock.

But it's still possible to cause them some trouble!

It's just a normal natural disaster, what does it have to do with me?

Rumble----!

In an instant, thunder roared across the sky, threatening to unleash a massive storm.

The Buster Call, naturally, also noticed this.

"Look! What's that?!"

"A storm?! Damn it, why now?!"

"Quickly! Get ready! Keep an eye on the people around you!"

The navy naturally descended into chaos.

Only the generals remained unfazed.

"Has Aokiji already passed away?"

At that time, the still very young Akainu stood at the bow of the flagship, his voice cold and authoritative, a stark contrast to his later appearance.

Although his personality remains the same, he sees things in black and white.

"Yes, Aokiji Vice Admiral already landed on the island. I believe our operation will go very smoothly this time."

One of the Vice Admiral admirals spoke respectfully to Akainu.

Akainu simply nodded noncommittally.

easy?

That would be very easy!

You have to understand that the Buster Call destroyed Ohara this time, how could anything go wrong? Not a single person on this island will escape!

Thinking about it, Akainu slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

"A mere storm, how could it possibly stop our advance! All men, listen to my command! Surround Ohara! Don't let a single fly out, or you will be court-martialed!"

"Yes!"

The navy warships slowly surrounded Ohara.

Lin Yan, however, paid no attention to him at all. Hearing Akainu's triumphant command, she merely curled her lip in disdain before disappearing from the spot in a flash.

When the person reappeared, they had abruptly wandered into Dr. Clover's research lab Tree of Knowledge.

They had no intention of being discovered.

Lin Yan was completely hidden in the corner; even if she were seen, people would probably only think there was a shadow there.

At this moment, Dr. Clover's face turned ashen.

"I told you, I have nothing to tell you. Aren't you afraid of the consequences of doing this?"

Dr. Clover glared at the man before her.

Lin Yan happened to know this person very well.

It was Spandine, the commander of CP9, a rotten, vile creature, inside and out.

However, at this moment, Spandine's smile appeared extremely arrogant.

"Consequences? I'm telling you, this was an order personally issued by the World Government's top brass, and those archaeologists have already been executed!"

"You know what this means, right? Old man, there's no point in denying it now. You might as well surrender obediently, and maybe I'll spare your life?"

Spandine a chuckle.

He then brandished the golden Den Den Mushi in his hand.

This is the authority granted by the Buster Call!

It is also the highest level of military force in the entire world, and no one has ever dared to resist it!

Those who resisted are all dead!

Dr. Clover glared at the man before her, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, especially after hearing that all the Ohara scholars who had accompanied Nico Olvia had been executed.

Compared to these old folks with one foot in the grave, these outstanding young scholars are Ohara's true treasure.

Thirty-three people died this time.

How can Dr. Clover not feel heartbroken?

Looking at the arrogant Spandine before him, he was already prepared to perish together with him.

Seemingly noticing Dr. Clover's gaze, Spandine laughed dismissively.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're not thinking of fighting me, are you? I'm the commander of CP9! Do you know what the consequences would be if you killed me? Besides, you can't even do it!"

He held aloft the Golden Den Den Mushi, a symbol of power and control.

Spandine unrestrained laughter.

It seems they don't realize how bad they've done at all.

What Spandine didn't notice was that, just as he was laughing wildly, a bottle of medicine slowly rolled off the bookshelf behind his chair.

Bang----!

Then, with a crisp crack, it landed squarely on his head.

"Aa...

It was probably some kind of highly corrosive solution; the moment it came into contact with Spandine, he immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

The skin on my face was dissolved so easily; it looked incredibly painful.

"You old fool! You tricked me!!!"

Under intense pain, Spandine instantly revealed his true colors, a ferocious expression on his face, and pointed his gun directly at Dr. Clover in front of him.

In his opinion, if the old man in front of him hadn't left the bottle of solution there, he wouldn't have been injured!

The people of Ohara deserve to die!

With Dr. Clover looking somewhat taken aback, Spandine pulled the trigger without hesitation.

BOOM!

With a loud thud, Dr. Clover's body fell limply to the ground.

What Spandine didn't notice was that just the moment he fired the shot...

The old man's figure seemed to flash by suddenly...
