Surrender Or Death?

"No, don't kill me, please don't kill me." The chief of the city knelt in front of Momousagi, begging with fear on his face.

Seeing this, Momousagi curled her lips in disdain, did not reply, looked directly at her adjutant, and ordered. "Use Den Den Mushi to inform the camp that someone will take over the people here, and leave a hundred people to guard the place. Anyone who dares to resist can be killed directly without any hesitation."

"Others, continue to set off with me."

As she said that, Momousagi raised the corners of her mouth, twisted her neck, and showed an expectant smile. "Maybe, we can take care of this country in one day."

Her adjutant nodded and said, "After that we will inform His Highness. With our speed and efficiency, His Highness will probably reward us, right?"

"It shouldn't be a problem, His Highness definitely doesn't lack the money."

"Stupid, who wants money?" Momousagi said with an angry look at her adjutant. "Of course, the share of the genetic medicine from the zombie world, and those technological weapons, the more the better."

Hearing this, the adjutant was stunned, stuck out her pink tongue, and showed an embarrassed smile.

"Okay, let's go on."

"Yes."

Momousagi maintained absolute speed.

No rest at all.

After several hours passed, they reached a new checkpoint.

Compared to the first checkpoint, the soldiers here seemed to have received the news in advance and were ready to fight. As soon as Momousagi appeared in their field of vision with an army, they waved their hands.

The soldiers immediately pulled the trigger, and bullets sprayed out.

Seeing this, there was no need for Momousagi to act.

A figure flew out from the soldiers behind her, followed by a low growl, frantically urging his abilities.

The soil on the ground rose up and quickly formed into a massive wall, intercepting all the bullets.

This was a Paramecia Devil Fruit user: the Wall Fruit.

Similar to the Barrier Fruit.

Boom. Boom. Boom!

Bullets rained down crazily.

The walls remained solid.

It wasn't until a moment later that the bullets stopped.

The walls dissipated in the next moment.

Seizing the opportunity, Momousagi drew her sword and slashed.

Snort!

A golden slash launched from the sword.

The entire city wall of the checkpoint was split apart in one strike.

"Kill!"

Momousagi ordered coldly, rushing forward herself. She used Shave and Moonwalk, arriving at the city wall in a single breath.

With another slash, dozens of soldiers were cut in half.

Then, the army behind her began their attack.

Just like at the first checkpoint, this one was completely overrun in a few minutes.

Only three cities remained.

After crossing them, they would arrive at the capital of the kingdom.

At the same time, within this kingdom...

The king of the Gudal Kingdom indulged himself every day. This world was rotten to the core, much like the imperial capital.

The nobles seemed kind and gentle on the surface, friendly to others.

But in truth, all outsiders were secretly kept in captivity, and even citizens were abducted, tortured for pleasure until death, and then replaced by new victims.

The entire world, whether the imperial capital or other nations, was the same.

When Momousagi set out, the soldiers who had been ordered by the checkpoint chief to deliver a letter finally reached the palace after galloping all the way on horseback. They anxiously entered the grand hall.

Inside, the fat and greasy king held a beauty in his arms while drinking and feasting with his officials.

"Your Majesty!"

The soldier swallowed nervously and saluted.

The king snorted and asked, "You came from the border checkpoint. What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty! A large army is attacking the border defenses! The chief instructed me to deliver this message immediately, requesting reinforcements."

At this, the officials froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"An enemy? Could it be the foreign race?"

"At this time, it must be them. The imperial capital is occupied with the northern front and won't intervene here."

"If it's the foreign race, there's no need to worry."

"Our Gudal Kingdom is more than capable of handling them."

"Hahaha, true, but we should still send reinforcements. Losing the border checkpoint would cost more to reclaim later."

The soldier's report failed to alarm anyone, including the king.

Perhaps they feared the foreign race at times, but the country remained safe for now, fueling their arrogance.

After consulting with his ministers, the king dispatched 10,000 troops and laughed. "The foreign race is nothing. Now, let us drink and celebrate their inevitable defeat!"

"Your Majesty speaks the truth."

"Hahaha, it's a time for celebration!"

In the hall, the monarch and ministers continued their revelry.

Three hours later.

A bloodied soldier stumbled into the hall, panic written all over his face.

"Your Majesty! Disaster! The enemy is too strong. When we engaged them, the general was killed in one strike, and the army was wiped out or surrendered! The city of Cuba has already fallen! They're likely heading for the city of Guysa now. Please, Your Majesty, call for reinforcements again!"

The hall fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared at the bloodied soldier, their faces pale.

Even the king trembled as he overturned food and drink, too panicked to care. "How is this possible? How can the foreign race possess such strength? Could the imperial capital be behind this?"

"No! That's impossible! Gudal is a vassal of the imperial capital; they wouldn't do this!"

"No matter what, we cannot let the kingdom fall!"

Turning to his ministers, the king pleaded, "Does anyone have a plan? Speak quickly!"

The officials remained silent.

Finally, a burly, middle-aged man snorted and stood up. Taking a sip of wine, he said disdainfully, "It's just a group of foreign races. Why panic? Your Majesty, allow me to handle this. I'll crush those pests."

"General Wayne!"

The king's face lit up. "Excellent! With your strength and the Teigu, you'll surely annihilate them. The task is yours! Upon your return, I shall reward you handsomely!"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, rest assured. I will exterminate them immediately!"

General Wayne laughed arrogantly, casting a disdainful glance at the other ministers before departing.

The king felt a brief sense of relief.

But moments later...

"Ahhh!"

A scream echoed outside.

The hall froze.

Footsteps approached.

Momousagi entered, her right hand gripping a blade and her left hand holding a bloody head.

She threw General Wayne's head to the ground with a thud, her gaze sweeping over the stunned crowd.

"Is this the strongest person your country has to offer? Pathetic."

Calmly, she declared, "From today onward, this kingdom no longer belongs to you."

"You have two choices."

"Surrender."

"Or death."

Momousagi truly lived up to her word—one country in one day.
