One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

But if Alec really wanted to take all the Heavenly Gold away, that would be absolutely impossible.

Because he holds the highest authority over the clone warriors, if anything unexpected happens, Judge will immediately have the bomb hidden inside Alec's body detonated.

Yes, even though Alec holds a high position in Germa and is highly regarded by him, once he joins Germa, he will definitely have a micro-bomb implanted in his body.

Apart from his own children, Judge never trusted anyone.

Judge originally thought that this time it would be foolproof as well.

It should be foolproof.

But now, more than half a day has passed, and Alec has not replied with a single message.

The Den Den Mushi kept dialing, but no one answered.

This sudden turn of events infuriated Judge.

"What on earth is that bastard Alec up to? Why isn't he answering the phone?"

After half a day without anyone answering, Judge was extremely anxious.

He was not only worried about the huge amount of celestial gold that Alec was transporting, but also about the war operations against the four surrounding countries.

Without a timely response from the World Government, he would be constrained in everything he did.

Especially the Kingdom of Lubnilu, a constituent country.

No one knows his child better than Judge.

If Reiju still knows how to weigh gains and losses, then Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are just emotionless killing machines.

Given their personalities, their so-called attempts to persuade those kingdoms to surrender would inevitably take place amidst gunfire.

If Alec fails to handle things properly, he will be without a legitimate reason, and will likely face even greater extortion from the Holy Land afterward.

Thinking of this, Judge couldn't help but sigh in frustration.

I should have sent Reiju to the Kingdom of Lubnilu.

The other three non-member states can be ignored; let the Izh do whatever they want.

"It's no use thinking about this now. Let's contact Ichi and the others first and see how they're doing with the surrender negotiations. As for Alec, let's contact the World Government official in charge of receiving the Celestial Gold later. Hopefully, the Celestial Gold has arrived successfully."

Immediately, Judge began dialing Ichi's Den Den Mushi.

"Pulling pulling, pulling pulling..."

The Den Den Mushi rang for several minutes, but no one answered.

Judge shook his head.

He thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Ichi is probably wreaking havoc in the Kingdom of Lubnilu right now, isn't he?

The awakening of his bloodline factors brought him immense power, but also a fierce bloodlust.

Ichi and his companions were by nature indifferent and extremely bloodthirsty.

Now it's even more brutal.

Judge placed the incessantly ringing Den Den Mushi on the table in front of him, then picked up Niji's Den Den Mushi and dialed the number.

"Puff puff..."

No one answered.

Then he dialed Yuji's Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter).

Still no one answered.

At this point, Judge began to have a bad feeling.

His eyes flickered, his breathing became heavy, and he quickly reached out to grab the last Den Den Mushi.

This is Reiju's Den Den Mushi.

The reason why the three Ichi brothers did not answer the phone may be that they were too engrossed in the killing to pay attention.

However, if it were Reiju, who is thoughtful and calm, she would definitely answer the call immediately, no matter what she was doing.

As the fourth Den Den Mushi rang, Judge's heart leaped into his throat.

On the table in front of him, four Den Den Mushi (snail phone) were lined up, ringing incessantly, creating a noisy atmosphere, much like being in a pond full of frogs.

"Pulu pulu, pulu pulu".

Still no one answered!

"Can anyone tell me? What exactly is going on?"

Judge, who couldn't even get through to Reiju's Den Den Mushi, instantly lost his temper and let out a low growl.

The Den Den Mushi in five different locations could not be reached.

Either all five groups of people sent out have encountered problems and have been captured.

Or perhaps his Den Den Mushi signal was cut off.

Judge would rather believe the latter than believe that his four children, whom he trusted so much, would have such a sudden and uneventful accident in such a short time.

Keep in mind that when the four of them went out, each of them led a clone army of five thousand men.

Given the desolate nature of the North Sea, Judge couldn't imagine who could have defeated Ichiji and his group so silently that they didn't even have time to contact him.

"Wait! There are indeed powerful individuals of that level in the North Sea."

Suddenly, Judge seemed to realize something, and his heart sank.

Revolutionary Army!

Even when he was in contact with Lawrence, Abarro, and the Kingdom of Frevans, the astute Judge had already spotted those rats hiding in the gutter, waiting for their chance to strike.

However, due to his fear of the Revolutionary Army's immense power, Judge has never acted rashly.

But now that he has made it clear that he intends to use his power to subdue the three non-member states, it is hard to guarantee that the revolutionary army lurking in the shadows will not cause trouble.

What if Reiju, Yuuji, and the others happen to walk into an encirclement of these rats...

Gaji was in a state of utter confusion.

The inability to get through to him fueled his anger.

Just then, a rumbling, buzzing sound came from the sky outside, like thunder rolling across the horizon.

A cold and furious voice, like thunder, boomed across the sky above the Kingdom of Germa.

"Judge! Get out here!"

Chapter 437 With a flick of the wrist, a nation can be destroyed.

"Judge! Get out here!"

A loud, angry voice, like a thunderclap, exploded across the entire capital, like the roar of a god.

The air and earth in the capital seemed to tremble and buzz at this loud shout.

The thunderous sound instantly silenced the bustling work in the capital.

One by one, the kingdom's residents, who were working hard, looked up in astonishment at the sky.

Their hearts pounded with anxiety, like drums beating rapidly.

Who dares to call the king by his name in the capital?

Why use such obviously contemptuous words as "get out"?

Meanwhile, the clone warriors, whose minds were imprinted with various commands, raised their weapons one by one and aimed them at the white shockwave rushing in from the distant horizon.

At the forefront of that blast wave, there was a blurry human figure.

Inside the palace hall, Gaji, who was already anxious because he could not contact his children, heard the impolite and angry shout from above, and his anger was instantly ignited.

"Who?"

He grabbed the golden spear from the sofa, and his burly body leaped into the air, crashing through the dome of the hall with a deafening roar, smashing the ancient murals that had stood for hundreds of years into pieces, which then flew outside.

Judge's golden hair danced wildly in the wind as he held a golden spear, looking up at the sky like an angry lion.

Before he could even see the person's face clearly, a blurry afterimage hurtled down on him from the sky.

Its speed was so fast that it sent a sharp whistling sound in Judge's ears.

"Hmph! Trying to launch a sneak attack while I'm not on my feet? How naive!"

Judge sneered, flicked his wrist, and streaks of lightning burst from the golden spear he held, swinging it towards the oncoming black shadow.

"Oh!"

The spear, trailing streaks of lightning, struck the incoming black shadow with lightning speed, producing a dull thud.

Judge was very familiar with that sound.

That was the mixed sound of skin, muscles, and bones being broken when the body was struck with great force.

So, the thing that hurtled towards him was a person?

Judge frowned and turned to look.

When he saw the dark figure that he had swung out, crashing onto the bridge below and smashing the heavy surface, sending shards of stone flying everywhere.

His imposing eyes widened instantly, a look of disbelief appearing in them.

"Iji?!"

Judge swooped down like a madman and pounced on Ichi, who was lying at the bottom of the pit.

On Ichi's body, there was a huge indentation that stretched from his waist and ribs upwards, past his collarbone and neck, all the way to his skull.

Within the crater, Ichi's flesh exploded and tore apart, turning into charcoal. His ribs, collarbone, neck bone, chin, and half of his cheek were all pulverized and mixed with sticky blood and flesh, a truly gruesome sight.

Judge trembled all over as he stroked Ichiji's rapidly cooling body, feeling his life force dissipating at an unprecedented rate. An unprecedented mix of panic, anger, despair, and confusion filled his chest, as if it would burst him apart.

He stretched out his hands, knelt at the bottom of the broken pit, and held the fading breath of Ichi tightly in his arms. His once majestic eyes were now red and tears kept falling from them.

"No! No! No! Ichiji!! Don't die!"
