"In short, send everyone out first."

Haschwalth walked along the main road of the Wandenreich, and passersby cast strange glances at him.

But he ignored it and walked away expressionlessly.

He was pondering the task Kaya had given him. If the Celestial Dragons were used as bait, the Navy and the World Government would surely take the bait.

This is similar to the previous battle on Hachinosu, where Kong was used to lure the Navy into battle.

But now we have to include pirates too.

Haschwalth thought it over and over. Temptation? That was unlikely. He decided to use force instead.

He could sense that the world was filled with Reishi.

The world has been completely transformed; those who can control more Reishi will be able to manipulate the world from a higher level.

Therefore, he prepared to order all the Quincy of the Wandenreich to be dispatched.

Establish Reishi pillars for receiving spirits around the world.

When the Wandenreich exerts its power, the whole world will respond to its call, and a decisive battle will end everything!

Um?

As Haschwalth approached the palace, he suddenly heard some noises ahead.

When he got there, he saw several Quincy beating someone.

"You bastard! Do you want to die?!"

This is not a place for you!

"Could he be an undercover agent?"

"Ha, Haschwalth?!"

One of them was startled to suddenly notice Haschwalth standing not far away, silently watching.

The others noticed and were also frightened. "Lord Haschwalth, please let us explain..."

After they moved aside, Haschwalth saw a man lying on the ground, a red-haired man with many wounds on his face.

Here's what happened.

Several Quincy suddenly discovered an unfamiliar figure entering the Wandenreich.

They went up to question them, but the other party was arrogant.

So, without a word, they started arguing and fighting, and taking advantage of their numbers, they pinned the stranger to the ground and beat him severely.

"He is indeed Quincy," Haschwalth said.

"Is that so...?" The group exchanged bewildered glances.

"Go down."

"Yes, yes!"

The Quincy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran away.

Haschwalth walked up to the man.

The man raised his head, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his hair disheveled, yet his smile remained defiant.

"What? You said the same thing to me, and the effect is so different!"

This person was the only surviving Quincy from Hachinosu. After arriving at God Valley aboard Roger Pirates's ship, he immediately escaped and entered the Wandenreich...

Basard!

The existence of the Wandenreich will be known to all Quincy, even those outside the Quincy.

Anyone who is Quincy can come and go easily.

When Basard arrived, he was surprised by this country that existed in the shadows.

But at the same time, he also wondered, could that man have taken the lives of so many Quincy just to establish the Wandenreich?

After that, things were simple.

When he met the other Quincy, he inquired about Kaya, Quincy were very unhappy that he addressed the Emperor by his name.

Even though he revealed the Quincy Cross to prove he was Quincy, he still got beaten up.

"This feeling... are you also a Sternritter?" Basard stood up from the ground, staring intently at Haschwalth.

"Why?" Haschwalth asked in a low voice, "You have Schrift, yet you couldn't defeat those Quincy? Did you deliberately let them beat you?"

"Heh! A few small fry, they don't know anything!" Basard sneered.

"What are you going to do?" Haschwalth asked.

"That way, I might be able to meet that king. That's what I think," Basard replied straightforwardly.

Do you think those men will escort you before His Majesty as a prisoner?

"If you hadn't come, it might have been done."

Haschwalth and Basard exchanged a glance, as if they could see the fire burning in the man's eyes.

"What do you want with His Majesty?" Haschwalth asked.

"Don't ask, just take me there. You know where it is, right?" Basard said bluntly.

"Do not disturb His Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Tsk! Enough with the nonsense!"

Haschwalth stopped talking to Basard and turned to leave. Basard pursed his lips and followed him.

The two entered the palace together.

During their journey, they encountered other Quincy, who were all Basard Haschwalth Quincy, but didn't ask any further questions.

"People respect you a lot, is it because you're Star Cross?" Basard asked, hands in his pockets.

Haschwalth didn't answer and continued walking.

Soon, they walked through the long corridor and stopped in front of a large door at the end of the corridor.

"That's it." Basard looked up.

Haschwalth, however, did something unexpected.

He walked up to the door, but instead of opening it, he stood in front of it, then turned around and faced away from it.

And then... that was it.

"Are you a guard?"

When Basard saw Haschwalth standing motionless in front of the door, he suddenly understood what the guy did and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hey! Is that king afraid of having nightmares? He even needs someone to guard the gate!"

He spread his hands and let out a boisterous laugh.

Haschwalth's expression remained unchanged; he simply drew his sword. "If you want to go in, you'll have to get past me first."

"Damn it! I've been wanting to get back at you for ages, and it turns out you're just a gatekeeper!" Basard roared, charging forward with an arrogant expression.

At the same time, the Quincy all received orders.

Leave the Wandenreich!

Go outside, disperse to all parts of the world!

We'll add as many Quincy as possible, maximizing Quincy presence in this world, no matter what Quincy do!

The gates of the Wandenreich have been opened!

Let's continue like this, whether it's one year or ten years, we'll wait for the day we're summoned!

And so!

Under the supreme command, many Quincy of the Wandenreich set out, filled with anticipation and fervor, to carry out this order.

"Finally, we can go!" Keel waved his hand casually and opened a large black door.

"You've all been waiting impatiently, haven't you? You just didn't dare leave." Gloriosa laughed, hands on her hips, her eyes filled with nostalgia. "I'm going to find Shakky after I get out."

"What? Looking for Shakky? I'm going too!" Ganzui said breathlessly.

"And... I..." John immediately chimed in, though his tone sounded weak.

"It's already like this, there's no need for this!" Kaido, helping John up, unable to help but complain.

The two men were beaten half to death for provoking Haschwalth, but perhaps because Haschwalth was kind, they were spared.

And so, almost everyone left, with only a very small number of Quincy remaining.

Just as expected.

When so many Quincy appear, it will have an unprecedented impact on the entire ocean, and the name of the Quincy will resound throughout the world.

People now know about the Quincy race; they may have multiple identities, but their power remains constant.

They are scattered throughout the world.

Some became pirates and made a name for themselves.

Some went back to serve in the navy.

Others are chivalrous and righteous.

But no matter how many years pass, they will never forget the order given before they left, and they will respond when needed.

Whether you like it or not...

And just like that, ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, within the Wandenreich, two children were practicing their skills against each other.

"Shanks, stay calm during the battle!"

"Understood, brother!"

Two red-haired ten-year-old children were fighting hand-to-hand. The short-haired child had a smiling face and was lively and active. The other child had slightly longer hair and appeared more mature.

On the steps of the square, a woman with long red hair watched with a smile, clapping occasionally.

Boom!!

An explosion suddenly rang out from the palace in the distance.

The woman glanced back, a hint of helplessness on her face. "They've started fighting again."

The two children also stopped what they were doing.

"Seriously, it's so old, and that Basard guy is still fighting with Uncle Haschwalth!"

"It's incomprehensible; what kind of obsession is this?"

Shamrock wiped his sweat, then tossed another towel to Shanks.

Shanks caught it, but his smile suddenly froze.

"What?!"

Shamrock looked up, his expression one of surprise.

An invisible wave spread throughout the entire Wandenreich in an instant, as if it were a symbolic signal.

Magnolia sensed it too, and her smile faded slightly, replaced by a look of disappointment.

"Is it time already? Wow, so fast..."
