One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

It would be better to die here in battle; that would at least give an account of what happened.

"President, all ships have been sunk."

"Okay, proceed at full speed towards the island ahead. If you encounter any enemies along the way, eliminate them all without asking for permission, leave no one alive."

"Yes, President."

The Nightmare warship, having corrected its course, immediately began to rapidly approach Egerhead Island.

Meanwhile, Spandam and the others on the island were already panicking.

"It's terrible! The island's escort fleet has been wiped out by the enemy!"

"Who is it? Does anyone know?"

"That's...that's the Nightmare Battleship! The battleship of Abel, the guild master of the Dragon Hunter Guild and one of the Four Emperors!"

One person recognized him, trembling with fear.

"What?! How could this happen?!"

"Call for help, yes, call for help right now..."

When Spandam heard that it was Abel, one of the Four Emperors, who was calling, he was terrified.

Forget about the mission, he hurriedly and shakily took out a Den Den Mushi and sent an emergency call.

“Lord Nassuro, this is Spandam. I am on a secret mission on Eghard Island, but just now, we were attacked by the Yonko Abel.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi upon hearing the news, before someone, barely suppressing their shock and anger, asked, "What's going on? Where's Vegapunk? Was he kidnapped?"

"not yet……"

The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi seemed to quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"But the enemy warships are about to land. What should we do?"

"What should we do? It's come to this! What do you suggest we do? Even if I send reinforcements now, it's too late."

Upon hearing this, Spandam felt a chill run down his spine.

They were afraid that the Five Elders would abandon them directly.

But what the other person said next rekindled his hope for survival.

"Spandam, I'm giving you a task. If you complete it and come back alive, I will promote you to the rank of CP0 commander."

CP0!

Commander!

That's a really big pancake!

Even with the crisis looming, Spandam was so tempted by the promise of a windfall that his eyes turned red and he lost his reason.

"Please give your orders, and Spandam will do his utmost to complete them!"

“Very good, this task is not difficult. I want you to kill Vegapunk before Abel, one of the Four Emperors.”

what? !

Spandam immediately showed a look of shock.

He had assumed that the Five Elders' mission was for him to rescue Vegapunk.

Who would have thought it would be to kill Vegapunk?!

Do you really want to do this?

Am I going to be the scapegoat?

In an instant, Spandam considered many possibilities, and was so frightened that his back was covered in cold sweat, and he even forgot to reply.

Nassou-sei seemed to know Spandane's cowardice and fear, so he softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, just do it. No one will bother you about it afterward."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, Vegapunk did some unforgivable things in private, and the World Government has been turning a blind eye to it because of his talent and ability."

"But now that the pacifists have also been successfully developed, you alone have no way to rescue them. So what we can't have, we must destroy."

Do you understand now that I've said it?

Spandane nodded repeatedly. "I understand. I... I'll do it right away."

"Wait a minute, there's something else I need to tell you first. Actually, we have people around Vegapunk. The activation code is... Do you also want to become a Celestial Dragon?"

"After confirming that Vegapunk and all his clones have been killed, when retreating, take this person with you if you can, otherwise... then kill him as well."

Nasujiro Sei's voice was cold and ruthless.

When Spandam ended the call, his forehead was covered in sweat.

However, he had no way out.

He could only grit his teeth and say, "Let's go, it's time to get to work!"

Spandam led his men straight to the inside of the eggshell on the island [Punk Records].

It just so happens that Vegapunk took all his clones there to synchronize their memories.

This is the perfect time to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Spandam completely disregarded Vegapunk and his six clones, after all, in his mind, Vegapunk and his six clones were all researchers, trash with a combat power of less than 5.

He might not be able to save people.

But killing a few weaklings is something he'll do without hesitation!

They traveled on without encountering any obstacles.

Finally, Spandam and his men found Vegapunk before Abel arrived.

"It's bad, Doctor! Pirates are attacking! You all need to get out of here with me!"

Spandam hurried over, extremely anxious.

Chapter 918 Betrayal!

Spandam's disguise was very convincing, except that he had a pistol firmly gripped in his hand behind his back, ready to fire at any moment.

Closer, closer.

With the two sides only 3 meters apart, Spandam could no longer contain his impulse and immediately pointed his gun at Vegapunk, who was unaware of what was happening.

Then, with a sinister grin, he pulled the trigger, emptying the entire cartridge case.

His men immediately followed suit and opened fire, their target being Vegapunk's clones.

"Spandam! Are you insane?!"

Sentomaru was startled and immediately stepped in front of Vegapunk, placing the massive double-edged axe in front of him.

However, the expected hail of bullets did not hit them.

A layer of transparent, reinforced bulletproof glass shield blocked all the lead bullets without leaving a single mark.

Now that he knew Stussy had sent someone to rescue him, how could Vegapunk possibly leave without making any preparations?

When the cannons roared, he knew the time had come.

So they activated the protective shield early on, not to protect against anyone else, but against Spandam and other lackeys of the World Government!

Because he knew all too well that the World Government would never allow him to escape its control alive.

If you can't have something, then destroy it.

This code of conduct has always been practiced by the World Government and even the Celestial Dragons!

Looking back now, it's clear he was very farsighted and his guess was spot on.

"Spandam! How dare you assassinate Dr. Vegapunk! I will definitely report your actions to the authorities!"

Despite it being a false alarm, Sentomaru was still incredibly angry.

After all, he had long regarded Vegapunk as his father and Kizaru as his 'uncle'.

"Ha, report it? Do you want? Where do you think I get the guts to do that? If you don't believe me, just ask me."

Although Spandam looked rather grim, he refused to admit defeat.

Because he still has a trump card he hasn't used yet.

As if he had thought of some possibility, Sentomaru's expression immediately darkened.

"Impossible! How could the World Government do such a thing!"

"Alright, stop acting. That's enough. Now kill Vegapunk inside, and leave none of his clones alive either."

"You're dreaming! I would never do that! Even if it's an order from the World Government, I wouldn't do it!"

Sentomaru was very tough, but he didn't know that Spandam was saying that because he mistook him for a spy planted by the World Government next to Vegapunk.

After all, besides this guy, there was only Vegapunk himself and his six clones inside.

Surely the spy isn't Vegapunk himself?

Spandam chuckled. "Alright, I got it. You want to activate the code? Well then, listen up... do you want to become a Celestial Dragon too?"

"Now, open this glass cover and let me in immediately."

Swish...

As soon as he finished speaking, the glass cover actually opened!

But it wasn't Sentomaru who did it; it was someone completely unexpected!

boom!

The sudden gunshot even startled Spandam.

"Damn it, who fired the shot? Me..."

Spandam thought it was one of his men's guns that had gone off accidentally, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Sentomaru's eyes roll back and he fall to the ground.

The person who fired the shot and the person who activated the protective shield were the same person...
