The next day, on the God's Island, in the Imperial Palace City, the enormous palace was packed with people, all holding their breath.

At the very front, Enel, Bai Doudou, Judge, Kalifa, and others sat, followed by Gan Fall and the others.

Ye Chen's sudden return made the atmosphere in the hall strange. Some people, even if they tried to remain calm, had shifty eyes and kept swallowing.

"Knock knock"

Just as everyone was getting impatient, footsteps reached their ears, and some people immediately lowered their heads.

Enel and the others were somewhat taken aback, because the person who appeared was different from the one they had seen before.

Seated on the golden throne, Ye Chen's face was icy cold. He crossed his legs, black smoke flickered in his right eye, and sparks occasionally flashed. A faint, eerie aura emanated from his entire body, lingering around him.

It's colder and more terrifying than before!

"BOSS!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Enel and the others bowed slightly, while ministers such as Gan Fall knelt on the ground.

The moment Ye Chen appeared, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly plummeted, as if a thousand mountains had collapsed. The pressure was so intense that everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

"Report on the nation's political affairs over the past six months!"

He shifted his gaze, and all was silent. Ye Chen looked at Reiju.

Reiju, who was being looked at, trembled, pursed her lips, and stepped forward.

"After six months of integration, the entire country has entered a legal framework."

As Reiju reported, time slowly passed, one hour, two hours. However, Gan Fall and the others remained kneeling on the ground, and even Enel and the others did not return to their seats but stood upright.

Everyone could sense that something had changed in the BSS (Browser Service).

"The above summarizes the country's development over the past six months!"

Her face was pale, Reiju slowly began, her body trembling slightly, because from beginning to end she could feel a cold gaze fixed on her, filling her with fear.

"I'm giving you a chance, yourself!"

Leaning back in his chair, Ye Chen noticed the black smoke drifting in his right eye growing slightly larger.

"BS, it's me."

With a "boom," blood splattered everywhere. Gan Fall and the others kneeling below felt a gust of wind sweep over their heads, accompanied by a huge roar. They slowly turned their heads, their pupils shrinking, because on the cracked golden wall, Reiju had fallen to the ground, coughing up blood, her breath suddenly becoming weak.

The entire hall was terrified by this sudden scene, and everyone quickly turned around and lowered their heads, afraid to even break a sweat.

This is a bad sign! Even Lady Reiju, who manages the entire nation's affairs, has been thrown out by the King. What does this signify?

As Ye Chen rose from the golden chair, he slowly began to descend the steps, each step like a thunderclap, making everyone's heart skip a beat.

Finally, Ye Chen stood before Judge.

With his head down, Judge's face was pale, his heart seemed to have stopped beating, and his whole body began to tremble slightly. He could feel a prehistoric beast staring at him, its aura chilling and menacing.

"Hiccup"

Suddenly, his face flushed red, and fear appeared in Judge's eyes, because a large hand was now gripping his neck and slowly lifting him up.

Terrified, "bbss" met those lifeless eyes and Judge felt fear; he sensed the impending death.

"Snort!"

The ground cracked, Ye Chen snorted coldly, and threw Judge to the ground, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You should be glad you still have some use, otherwise I would have eliminated you without hesitation after all the actions you've taken over the past six months."

Looking coldly at Judge on the ground, Ye Chen turned to look at Ichi and the other two. The three of them showed no anger whatsoever at the fact that their father and sister had been beaten and scolded.

Some were indifferent, while even the second son, Niji, laughed.

Unfortunately, after being modified by Judge using Lineage Factor, Ichi, Niji, and Yonji have lost their emotions. Now, even when their own father is humiliated, their first reaction is not anger, but indifference, as if they were looking at a stranger.

This was undoubtedly a tragedy for Judge.

"All the forces you've cultivated over the past six months will be dealt with after this meeting. If even one of them survives, then you are dead!"

"It's the boss!"

Lying on the ground, Judge clutched his chest, not even daring to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"If this happens again, your Vinsmoke Family will be obsolete. Now get out and deal with this."

Looking down at Judge and Reiju standing up in the distance, Ye Chen showed no mercy.

Still shaken, Judge and the others quickly took their leave, clearly heading to personally deal with the force they had painstakingly built up.

Watching Judge and the others leave, Ye Chen looked expressionlessly at Enel, Caesar, Law, Bege, and the others, and nodded. "You've done a great job these past six months!"

Originally, Ye Chen thought that Enel was the most likely to cause trouble, since this guy had always been defiant and arrogant. But in the end, he learned from Bai Doudou that this guy had actually been quite well-behaved all along.

"There are some things I just can't be bothered with. If I wanted to become the king of the country, I would definitely defeat you, boss, fairly and squarely, instead of acting like some other ugly clowns!"

With utter disdain, it wasn't hard to guess that the person Enel was referring to was Judge and his group.

"You Rabbit Lord, I've been admiring you for the past six months!"

Bai Doudou patted Enel on the shoulder, her face full of approval.

Back then, a month after Ye Chen was imprisoned in Impel Down, Judge started to stir up trouble, secretly causing mischief in the country. Bai Doudou wasn't blind, but what he feared most was Enel.

But to my surprise, this guy had an incredibly strong sense of pride. He openly told Bai Doudou that he wanted to become the god of Sky Island again, but there was a condition: he had to defeat the boss head-on, otherwise he wouldn't be happy.

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, Enel began to cooperate with Bai Doudou, attracting attention in the Blue Sea.

"Tch!" Enel glanced at Bai Doudou with disdain.

He was incredibly bold. Facing everyone in the hall, including Ye Chen, Enel made no attempt to hide his ambition, revealing just how arrogant he was.

"In short, you guys didn't let me down!"

Satisfied, Ye Chen looked at Enel, Caesar, Law, Bege.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, I just like researching. Anyway, whatever I need, Boss, just find it for me!"

Caesar was quite a bachelor; he didn't care about power or anything like that. In his eyes, there was only one goal: to surpass that damned Vegapunk and become the world's greatest scientist.

As for Law, his goal was simple: to train hard, seek revenge on Doflamingo, and in his heart, Ye Chen was the closest person to him besides Corazon.

Ye Chen saved him and imparted his power to him; he remembered all of this, and he had no interest in the rights of the country.

As for Bege, he was ambitious, but unfortunately he was too weak and couldn't compete with Judge. So he was smart and didn't get involved. Instead, he focused on training to become stronger!
