One Piece: Pirate King? I just want to kill all of you-Chapter 120: It’s Actually That Man! Journey Through Hell—— -!{2}
The others didn’t respond to his words; they simply prepared in silence to unleash their respective attacks on the person about to walk into the shop.
However, every single one of their movements had long since been fully exposed within Issho’s "field of vision," rendering them utterly meaningless.
Robin, standing off to the side, didn’t doubt Issho’s words in the slightest. She immediately began analyzing the situation in her mind.
"Suddenly changing the original orders and having these people rush back to headquarters for a gathering could indeed alert them."
"But right now, they’re all inside the shop, and there are no windows on this side. So how exactly did they notice...?"
"Could it be because of that guy?!"
At that moment, she suddenly recalled that among the chief commanders was an Animal-type Devil Fruit user skilled at digging.
So it was very likely that the enemy had accidentally detected the movements on this side through the ground, which prompted the people inside the shop to react so quickly.
"Indeed, that person can dig rapidly underground, so they’d probably be even more sensitive to vibrations coming from the surface."
"I can’t believe I overlooked that detail..."
"What should we do now? Are we just going to launch a direct assault...?"
But before Robin could decide in her heart,
Issho had already slowly raised the staff-sword gripped tightly in his hand, his voice low and steady as he said:
"There’s no need for you to trouble yourself over this, Miss Robin."
"Since those people are all inside that shop right now, the matter becomes quite simple to resolve."
With that,
he unhesitatingly used his thumb to slowly push out the blade, letting out a soft shout:
"Hell Journey—!"
The next second!
Crack!
The single-story building nearly a hundred meters away suddenly began to tremble violently, accompanied by the sound of cracking and splintering.
The outer walls and roof gradually shattered and collapsed, as if an invisible force were relentlessly squeezing the entire structure from the outside.
"What’s going on...?!"
"How could... this..."
"It’s so heavy..."
"Who on earth...!"
"This girl... can’t hold on...!"
At that instant, every chief commander inside was crushed flat to the ground, completely unable to move a muscle.
The surrounding liquor and food also shattered and exploded at the same time, leaving them covered in filth and mess.
Their expressions could no longer remain calm; they all turned extremely ugly, with panic and confusion rapidly surging into their hearts.
Unfortunately, no one was there to answer their questions.
As the pressure bearing down on them continued to increase,
the people inside began rolling their eyes one by one, fainting dead away on the floor.
Boom!!
At that point, the entire building had reached its limit and instantly collapsed in a thunderous crash, kicking up a cloud of dust that scattered in all directions.
After sensing no further movement from the ruins,
Issho couldn’t help but sigh inwardly:
"As expected, not everyone possesses the kind of robust physique that Captain-dono has, capable of withstanding gravity head-on in place."
He then stopped drawing the blade fully, instead slowly sheathing it before suddenly snapping the scabbard shut.
Bang!
A massive explosion rang out ahead once more.
The Spider Café, already reduced to a pile of rubble, sank even further with a thunderous roar, sending up another massive cloud of dust.
"This is..."
Robin, who had felt a twinge of confusion when she saw him suddenly draw his sword, now wore an expression of utter shock.
She had no idea how he had done it—destroying the entire building from afar in mere seconds.
The only thing Robin could think of was that he must have eaten some kind of extraordinarily powerful Devil Fruit.
Looking now at the situation in the ruins ahead,
she knew the chief commanders inside had likely lost all ability to resist.
With just a single move, he had directly taken care of so many opponents who, in her view, were quite troublesome.
This made her realize that Vergo’s high regard for this blind old man was indeed a very wise decision.
She had no idea how Vergo had discovered this powerhouse.
In Robin’s estimation, this man’s strength was probably no less than Crocodile’s.
Issho, noticing that Robin beside him had suddenly fallen silent, immediately guessed what was on her mind.
So he took the initiative to smile and say:
"There we go, Miss Robin."
"The old man has already taken care of everyone inside the shop."
"It’s safe to say they won’t be waking up anytime soon."
"Therefore, we can head back to the capital first and decide what to do once Captain-dono returns."
Robin snapped out of her thoughts at his words and immediately nodded:
"Mm, let’s head back now."
With that, she turned toward the moving crab not far away, though her gaze still flickered with lingering uncertainty.
"That’s roughly how the truth stands."
Vergo stood with his hands in his pockets, having roughly recounted everything he knew, then silently scanned the reactions of those around him.
Seeing that the rebels were listening quite attentively and that no one had interrupted him earlier,
he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly:
"As expected, you need sufficient strength to intimidate everyone before they’ll calm down and actually listen to what you have to say."
After carefully hearing out the other man’s words, Koza could no longer control his expression and revealed a look of shock.
"You’re saying what?!"
"The one causing the kingdom’s cities to suffer years of drought, and the true user of the Dance Powder, is actually the man people call the ’hero of the nation,’ Crocodile?!"
It wasn’t just him—every rebel who heard these words wore expressions of disbelief.
If these words hadn’t come from the mouth of "Madman Vergo," the man bold enough to defy authority,
they probably wouldn’t have listened to a single word.
And now, even in their shock, many couldn’t help but start pondering the credibility of his claims in their hearts.
As the leader of the rebels, Koza’s thoughts were naturally clearer than the others’.
Knowing the other man’s true identity,
and understanding that he possessed immense strength while having no stake in this nation’s interests,
although the truth was indeed hard to swallow,
Koza had already more or less believed his words in his heart and immediately began thinking it over.
