Chapter 177 - Arrested at the Shores (2)

Zaraki stood before the somewhat strange-looking soldier standing in front of him with an intimidating stance—not that it affected him, though.

"I don't know who you all are or where exactly you all came from, but you are coming with us—all of you," Claudius said to them.

"But we have told you who we are already...," Zaraki said to Claudius, "our land was taken over by the Zion Empire back at the Nihonian Continent, and now we have come here for brief refuge."

"You lie," Lucius said from behind his subordinate, stepping forward, "I know of the Langford Capital. It is described as the greatest independent region in the entire Continent." "But if that is so, how does it follow that the Emperor took it down as you said?"

Zaraki did not know how to start explaining, as he wasn't present during the destruction of the city. So he hesitated to respond for a few seconds, and that was all the assurance the officials needed to initiate their mass arrest.
