Chapter 119
Hancock's gaze slid around and finally settled on Judge.
Insect, do you want to challenge King Judge?
In response, a powerful electric light shot out and instantly bombarded Germa's battleship in the sea.
Boom!
Fierce heavenly thunderclaps and lightning, resembling rays of hot and terrifying light, destroyed ten battleships in an instant. The giant snails, before they could scream, turned to ash, floating on the sea's surface.
A giant snake emerged on the sea's surface, allowing Judge to see its entire spiked body.
Monster!
What is this creature?!!
This is scarier than the person who controlled the meteorite!
What kind of forces are in Alabasta?
For the first time, Judge regretted agreeing to the World Government's condition to deal with Alabasta. He now realized that the World Government's offer, which initially seemed tempting, was actually disadvantageous.
"Did you set me up against an enemy of this level?!"
Judge now just wanted to yell at the World Government.
Baron Tamago and Pekoms were in absolute panic. They had been to Desert Black prison, and they really didn't want to return to that place again.
At this moment, Pekoms suddenly heard a voice:
Oh-oh, it's the terrifying Admiral of the Royal Fleet of Alabasta!
Judge, Pekoms, and Baron Tamago turned their heads and saw two individuals who had quietly appeared on the deck.
Judge was shocked. Before him stood a tall figure wearing brown sunglasses.
It was Admiral Borsalino Kizaru of the Marine Patrol!
Beside him stood a giant man several meters tall, holding a black bible.
The Shichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma!
The breath of all three, including Judge, caught in their throats as they looked at Kizaru and Kuma with some surprise, especially Judge. He had an arrangement with the World Government—had they canceled everything and come for him?
"Just two monkeys," Hancock said with a contemptuous smile, looking at Borsalino Kizaru, "who is there to fight with here?"
She truly was not afraid of the Admiral of the Marine Patrol; she hadn't feared them even before she acquired the Thunder Fruit ability, let alone now.
Of course, Hancock wouldn't naively think that these two had come to arrest Germa 66. Only ordinary people would make such an assumption. Germa 66 was insignificant in the eyes of the World Government. If Alabasta hadn't announced their interference in North Blue's matters, the Admiral of the Marine Patrol wouldn't be here at all!
Omm! — A laser shot directly at Hancock. However, half of Hancock's body immediately turned into lightning.
Kizaru's face twisted; he didn't understand what was happening. Why did she have these abilities?
Hancock immediately activated Conqueror's Haki. Her black hair fluttered, surrounded by an endless light of lightning, flashing with a series of terrifying electric flashes. Kizaru resisted.
Bartholomew Kuma glanced at the two of them and finally decided to make his move, but just as he extended his hand to release a shockwave, he was stopped by a sword.
Boom!
He slowly raised his head and saw a woman who had unexpectedly appeared on the gigantic Germa 66 ship.
"Allow me to introduce myself: Vice-Admiral of the Alabasta Marine Patrol, Tashigi," she said calmly.
The princes of the Vinsmoke Family had returned from the island, and Judge tried to stop them.
"Are you insane?! Do you want to interfere in a battle with monsters?!"
"You're scared, Father," Ichiji smiled fearlessly.
"A father who's afraid to fight is actually putting us in an embarrassing position," Niji said contemptuously.
"Ichiji and Niji are right. It's just an enemy. We'll just kill them. And if we're killed, that means we were weak. But not daring to charge at the enemy is the real shame," Yonji said, wrapping his arms around his father's shoulders.
"You idiots!" For the first time, Judge was horrified by his children.
There's no doubt that battles at the level of a Marine Patrol Admiral can create an apocalyptic scene.
For users with the best Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities, battles lasting several days and nights are normal.
Golden light collided with blue electricity, and the destructive force nearly caused further devastation to Swallow Island. The people there trembled at this terrifying power akin to a natural disaster.
"Are these gods fighting?!" Such were the thoughts of the people.
"Admiral Hancock, Swallow is about to be destroyed by Germa 66; we need to stop them as soon as possible!" Tashigi observed the actions of the fearless clone army and shouted.
Hancock clenched her teeth angrily and scolded Kizaru, who was holding her back:
"Monkey, isn't your World Government here to protect North Blue?!"
Kizaru smiled, with dangerous glints in his glasses, and slowly said:
"The order I received was to stop the Royal Fleet of Alabasta in North Blue, not to save North Blue."
He said nothing more, but Tashigi noticed that his movements had slightly slowed.
"What's with him?" Tashigi wondered.
Hundreds of soldiers rushed onto the deck of the Alabasta ship. At this time, the ship of the World Government's Marine Patrol also approached.
Watching the events unfold, Judge gradually realized that the monsters on both sides seemingly had no intention of paying attention to Germa for now. The World Government had fully kept its promises.
"It seems now is the perfect time to seize North Blue! Then I'll create countless clone armies, and let those who look down on Germa know who truly owns this world!"
He roared and ordered countless fighters to attack Swallow Island. Killings began, screams echoed everywhere, wealth was plundered, and the able-bodied population was captured and enslaved for the black market.
Boom! At that moment, an invisible force engulfing the world made the weak lose consciousness.
It was as if a boiling and roaring current swept through the sea. All the fearless clones and regular Germa soldiers stopped in their tracks and then fainted.
Terrifying Conqueror's Haki!
Hancock was momentarily distracted from Kizaru and looked at the approaching ship nearby.
On the ship's bow stood a group of people led by a man in a black cloak with a beard and blood-red hair.
His eyes were serious and piercing; no one could ignore his gaze.
One of the Four Emperors – Red-Haired Shanks!
