Pirates: Usurping a Kingdom Is Surprisingly Easy

On the other side of the battlefield in Alubarna, the capital of Alabasta, Issho did not possess Conqueror's Haki, so he couldn't clear out soldiers and intimidate them like Kael could. He had originally intended to use his fearsome reputation as Heavenfall Marquis to force the Rebel Army and King's Army to cease fighting. However, he found that the massive battlefield, with hundreds of thousands of people, had already descended into madness. Hardly anyone listened to him.

He could only summon meteorites to strike the edges of the battlefield, intimidating these irrational warriors. The effect was indeed excellent; the descent of the meteorites was no less intimidating than Conqueror's Haki. As for the unfortunate individuals who were accidentally killed by the blasts or shockwaves, Issho could only express his helplessness.

"Whoever does not stop fighting, meteorites will fall upon your heads!"

"Everyone, stop!"

"Lay down your weapons!"

Issho stood on a floating rock, roaring at the Rebel Army and King's Army on the battlefield. He felt immense sorrow and helplessness seeing so many lives lost in a civil war. These people were originally subjects of the same kingdom, yet now they were dying by the blades of their own kind. This was even more unacceptable than a war between two nations.

A terrifying gravity field pressed down on the Rebel Army and King's Army within several kilometers of Issho, forcing them to their knees. "If anyone dares to raise arms again, this Marquis's blade will show no mercy."

After intimidating this section of the battlefield, Issho immediately urged the rocks to fly to another part of the battlefield. He intended to personally suppress this large-scale war. He couldn't prevent the fall of the Aoi Kingdom back then, but today, he had the power to stop this war. The meteorite strike just now had been witnessed by soldiers on all parts of the battlefield. As Issho flew over, countless soldiers were terrified and obediently ceased fighting. Issho's fearsome reputation and deterrent power finally became evident.

Meanwhile, King Cobra, who had received treatment, along with Princess Vivi and Pell, rushed to the battlefield to order the King's Army to stop fighting.

...

Inside Alubarna City, as the members of Baroque Works scattered in terror, Aramaki, who had charged in first, chased after these Baroque executives. Aramaki, leading the charge, surprisingly didn't pursue the strongest, Mr. 1 (Daz Bones), but instead targeted the fake King Cobra. This sent Mr. 2 (Bentham), the flamboyant cross-dresser, fleeing frantically. The other executives also took the opportunity to scatter and escape.

Aramaki chased for dozens of streets, draining countless escorting soldiers, before finally capturing the Clone-Clone Fruit user who had repeatedly changed faces to escape. This fellow kept changing back to the king's face, ordering soldiers and civilians to block him, then transforming into other appearances to sneak away. This angered Aramaki so much that after he caught Mr. 2, he directly drained him dry.

If Kael hadn't instructed him to try not to kill these Devil Fruit users, Aramaki would have truly wanted to turn that flamboyant cross-dresser into jerky.

At the Medi Council Chamber in the southern district of Alubarna, the lost swordsman Zoro actually encountered Mr. 1 (Daz Bones), who was hiding from Aramaki, and a fierce battle immediately erupted between them. This was a struggle between a Three-Sword Style swordsman and a Dice-Dice Fruit user.

Meanwhile, White-haired Saga, a few streets away, cornered Mr. 1's partner, Miss Doublefinger (Paula), a Spike-Spike Fruit user. Saga and this female assassin, who could turn her entire body into spikes, also fought with extreme ferocity.

Mr. 3 (Galdino) and Miss Goldenweek's combination encountered Capone Bege and Lafitte, the two newcomers from West Blue.

"Interesting, this little girl's color patterns can actually hypnotize and create different effects through suggestion."

Lafitte, the master hypnotist, had a false smile filled with mockery and fury. If it weren't for her Devil Fruit ability, he would have even considered learning it. The Devil Sheriff's words made the little loli Miss Goldenweek break out in a cold sweat, and she turned and ran. Her color suggestions were ineffective against this pale-faced man. And her partner, Mr. 3, was also blocked by that castle man, leaving no one to protect her, a weakling.

"How can a candle possibly compare to a strong fortress!"

Capone Bege surprisingly didn't have his subordinates use concentrated firepower on the Candle Man. Instead, he transformed into a tank-like castle man and directly clashed with Mr. 3's Candle Champion. As the Godfather of West Blue, how could he be afraid of a Candle Man with a bounty of only 24,000,000 Berries?

Although the future 'First Mate' Mr. 3 also had his moments of glory, such as using Candle Bind on the giants Dorry and Brogy, resisting Magellan in Impel Down, and saving Ace on the execution platform... But as a Baroque executive, he truly couldn't defeat Bege, the West Blue Mafia Godfather, at this moment.

Mr. 3, who was being beaten back step by step, had already decided to abandon his partner, Miss Goldenweek, and escape on his own. However, he was quickly surrounded by Bege's subordinates, leaving him no choice but to fight Bege one-on-one, eventually surrendering directly. Miss Goldenweek's color suggestions were ineffective against Lafitte, and she was quickly captured alive by him as well.

...

Whirlwind Erick and Sanji intercepted the Bomb-Bomb Man Mr. 5 (Gem) and Miss Valentine (Mikita) combination. Sanji, citing his inability to lay hands on a woman, voluntarily took on the Bomb Man Mr. 5. But he didn't expect that he would soon experience the most disgusting battle of his chef's life. Sanji was bombarded by various booger bombs and armpit grime bombs, making him question his existence. As a chef, he hated such unhygienic scoundrels the most.

Sanji, enraged to the point of a small-universe explosion, kicked the Bomb Man Mr. 5 until he was black and blue, and several of his booger-picking fingers were flattened.

Meanwhile, Miss Valentine, who used the Kilo-Kilo Fruit to float and fly and deliver heavy downward blows, was directly cut down by Erick's Wind Blade.

"Your ability, fellow, is far inferior to that of the Ton-Ton Fruit user from the Donquixote Family."

Erick easily captured this woman. This attack method reminded him of Machvise, who had visited the Goa Empire before.

"You're quite pretty. You could be His Majesty's pirate slave."

Erick looked at Miss Valentine's pretty face and recalled the Paste-Paste Fruit user, Honey Queen. Now, this woman, along with Iron Bear (Bear King) and Jango, had gained their freedom. Honey Queen still served as a maid on the ship, while Iron Bear (Bear King), Jango, and the Nyaban Brothers were with Bartolomeo, helping to unify the East Blue underworld.

Hearing Erick's words, Mikita felt immense despair. She had only joined Baroque Works to earn some money and go back to open a dessert shop. She had only completed a few missions, and her bounty had just reached 7,500,000 Berries. She was unwilling!

Had she known she would have to deal with the ruthless individuals from the Goa Empire, she should have run faster and immediately quit Baroque Works. Now, it was over.

Meanwhile, Van Augur, the sniper, chose to act alone. He easily sniped Mr. 4 (Babe), seizing the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Dachshund weapon from the fat man's hands. He also severely wounded Mr. 4's partner, Miss Merry Christmas, a woman with the Mole-Mole Fruit ability, leaving her no chance to even dig her way to escape.

Van Augur called a few clone soldiers to capture this Devil Fruit user. Although this captive was a bit weak, she was still more than enough to become His Majesty's pirate slave. After all, she was a Devil Fruit user with a bounty of 14,000,000 Berries. Capturing her to dig tunnels for construction in the Goa Empire was an option, or simply exchanging her for the bounty money.
