Submit or Die (Alliance Leader 7/10)

In the backyard of the Kingdom, the God's Island, where the royal palace is located, Ye Chen spends all his free time with the guy, as if his entire Divine City is focused on him except when necessary.

Ye Chen played the childish game very seriously. As long as he could see the guy laughing, Ye Chen felt happy.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning roared across the sky and appeared in the blink of an eye, before slowly falling to the ground.

He tossed Tesoro to the ground like trash, Enel walked straight into the pavilion, picked up a teacup, poured himself a drink, and started drinking.

"Bss."

Luo felt somewhat embarrassed following behind.

"Not bad." Holding the weapon, Ye Chen sensed Luo's aura, which was much more solid than it had been two years ago. It seemed that everyone had made progress.

In his arms, the little guy blinked his big eyes, looked at Enel, looked at Law, and finally fixed his gaze on the bear behind Law.

Bepo's eyes were also fixed on the guy, and the two of them, man and bear, just blinked at each other and stared at each other.

She remembered Enel, but Law and Bepo were complete strangers to her.

"And this is!"

Seeing that the guy was staring intently at Bepo, Ye Chen gestured for Luo to introduce him.

"Bepo, he should be Mink Tribe like the boss, but Bepo is Polar Bear Mink Tribe."

Slightly stepping aside, Luo smiled and said, "He's a friend I'd risk my life for."

"Is that so?" Ye Chen looked at Bepo with an indifferent expression and nodded.

"Hello!" Bepo said cautiously, scratching his head and grinning at Ye Chen.

He knew that the man in front of him was his captain's captain, a figure widely rumored to be very powerful, and he especially admired the Rogue Rabbit that accompanied this man.

Perhaps also because of the Mink Tribe, Bepo idolized Bai Doudou from the moment he learned about Bai Doudou.

Ye Chen didn't care that Luo and the others each had their own groups; on the contrary, he offered his support.

"Sakura, let's play later, okay?"

After glancing at the pitiful Tesoro lying on the ground not far away, Ye Chen looked at the baby in his arms.

Pouting, the boy looked up at his father, then blinked his big eyes after a Bepo's thought.

"Kindness."

"Good boy." Ye Chen patted the boy's head, gestured for the nanny to come over, and then watched as the boy was led away from the garden, looking back every few steps.

As soon as the guy left, Ye Chen's aura changed instantly. If it was warm as spring just now, it was now like a biting cold wind.

"Bring him here."

Ye Chen glanced at Tesoro, picked up the coffee in the pavilion, and took a sip.

"I'll do it!" Luo stood up, left the pavilion, grabbed Tesoro by the collar, and threw him into the pavilion.

At this moment, covered in wounds, Tesoro lay on the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

Looking up at the man before him, Tesoro fell silent.

Tesoro was well aware of the rumors surrounding this man, but he was still somewhat frightened when he actually faced him.

After all, even someone as powerful as Thunder God submitted to him, so how strong must I be?

Before his battle with Enel, Tesoro might have been aloof and superior to Ye Chen, but now, he had no right to speak except to remain silent.

The difference in their social status is too great!

"I am very interested in your abilities. Now I'm giving you a choice: submit or die. You choose."

Looking coldly at Tesoro, Ye Chen didn't beat around the bush and directly gave him two choices.

Beside them, Enel, Law, and Bepo sat drinking coffee served by a maid, watching Tesoro with great interest.

Clenching his teeth, Tesoro's expression changed. Although the other person remained calm, for some reason, Tesoro sensed the danger of death.

"I surrender."

There was no third choice: life or death. Clearly, Tesoro lacked the courage to choose death.

Although he was arrogant, he understood his current situation. A smart person would only think calmly, not yell and threaten, saying things like, "Go ahead and kill me if you dare," or "I'd rather die than submit."

These things might just be a spectacle for others, something they can ignore, remain a bystander, and even offer some commentary; but when these things happen to you, that's when you realize what true despair and pain are.

It's obvious that Tesoro is a smart man.

"Very well, remember you only have one chance. I don't care if you're sincere now or not, it doesn't matter to me. But I'm warning you, if you make one mistake, it's death!"

Ye Chen had no reaction to Tesoro's answer. As he said, he didn't care whether the other party was truly subdued or not. Perhaps this was just Tesoro's delaying tactic, or perhaps Tesoro was currently thinking about how to kill him.

Ye Chen didn't care about any of that. He just warned Tesoro that he only had one chance, or no chance at all, because if he made a mistake, he would eliminate him without hesitation.

Even though the success rate of stripping Devil Fruit is only 50%, that 50% is enough.

"Luo, take him down for treatment, and while you're at it, let him familiarize himself with the country. We'll have a meeting tomorrow!"

Ye Chen waved his hand.

"Okay!" Luo stood up and nodded.

"Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now." After finishing his coffee, Enel also got up to say goodbye.

Immediately afterward, Ye Chen also left, clearly to go find his daughter.

The next day, the new palace council hall was filled with people.

Two years later, everyone gathered together, and yes, a lot had changed.

Sitting on the throne, Ye Chen looked at everyone, especially Law, Bege, and Ichi, and nodded in satisfaction.

"You five, it seems you haven't wasted your time these past two years, very good!"

Although none of them spoke, they all smiled, knowing that they were now all Supernova.

None of the bounties were less than 100 million.

Compared to the original work, it's significantly more powerful.

"Two years is almost up." With an ambiguous expression, Ye Chen tapped his fingers on the throne, his gaze chilling.

"Before that, I have some good news for the boss."

Suddenly, Caesar below, with an arrogant and smug expression, made several people want to beat him up.

"Spit it out, your expression is really annoying."

Sitting in the chair, Bai Doudou widened her eyes.

"Ahem, I am now announcing that the national floating transformation project has entered its final stage, and it won't be long before we can leave this place."

At this, everyone's expression changed.

"Caesar, Judge, you two did a great job."

Even Ye Chen's gaze sharpened.

"As long as the country can move, we won't have to stay in one place."

"This news is not bad."

"Alright, let's put this aside for now. We've added someone to our team. You all need to get to know each other. Rob Lucci, come with me."

Ye Chen glanced at Tesoro, waved to Rob Lucci, and then left the throne.

In the side hall corridor, Ye Chen and Rob Lucci walked one after the other. "The matter I asked you to investigate, still no leads?"

"Not yet. As for the Rainbow Mist, although we've regained control, I recently inquired with Henzo, and the Rainbow Mist still hasn't reappeared. Also, there are no leads regarding Sleepy Ancient Town. However, we have a lead regarding the Human Race."

"Look." Ye Chen sighed inwardly and frowned.

"In Dressrosa, ruled by the Shichibukai Donquixote Doflamingo, there's a fairy tale. We suspect it might be Human Race, so Kaku is already investigating."

"The Caesar Human Race is crucial to the proper development of Artificial Devil Fruit. This is extremely important; the current production of Artificial Devil Fruit is too low and must be increased!"

I will keep an eye on this.
