Zaydas, along with his people, teleported directly to Mary Geoise.
The Den Den Mushi filmed everything.
The once glorious castle was gone.
What remained was nothing less than a huge crater and not far away, five men lying on the ground, wasting away, in their final seconds of life.
Topman looks in their direction and stopped at Zaydas: "You... Why did you do this, why go against us?"
"Hahaha, very funny indeed." Zaydas said with a fake laugh: "Do I need a reason to get rid of people I don't like? Especially lowlifes who think they're Gods and treat human life as disposable?"
"Zaydas-sama, why argue with this trash who is about to die?" Shion said: "No matter what you say, they think they're something, but in the end, they're just that. Trash."
Looking at her, Zaydas nodded: "Yes, Shion, you're right."
After that, he turned to the camera: "As you can see, these are the Five Elders who control the world from behind the curtains and, behind them, there was someone... Well, it doesn't matter, it was someone irrelevant anyway. Now, if you marines still wish to follow the same path as them and won't stop doing evil. I will come to you~" He gave a playful smile.
Before ending the recording, Zaydas added: "Oh yes, you shitty pirates. If any of you are found by me or my people doing something heinous, hehe~"
And so, the live broadcast was ended.
"Now, let's finish off those who must die, and send the rest to some deserted island." Zaydas said.
""""Yes!""""
They had no objections.
'As for the World Government itself...' Zaydas looked toward Paradise.
Not everyone deserved to die, but they needed to be stopped.
As for the marines... They also need to be filtered.
───────────
Meanwhile, as soon as Zaydas' live broadcast ended, several journalists couldn't stay still while many others panicked.
Pirates mainly became fearful, but some thought this was a good opportunity and started to act.
However, the moment a group of pirates started acting recklessly, "Zaydas" appeared before that group of pirates.
"Looks like my warning went in one ear and out the other, huh? You little shits~" His tone was quite friendly, but when he landed on the ground and the red-feathered wings disappeared and he started walking toward them, none of them could move.
Some journalists had Den Den Mushi filming, but Zaydas didn't care.
When he reached the first pirate, he touched him with a hand surrounded by the power of destruction.
The moment he touched him, right before everyone's eyes, they saw this pirate begin to disappear.
It was similar to the castle in Mary Geoise that simply vanished when his attack hit it.
"D-Don't come any closer!"
The pirate leader had tears and snot running down as he pointed a pistol at Zaydas.
"Bang!"
The shot was fired, but it stopped in the air.
Then, that round bullet simply returned, hitting the pirate leader's head.
And, before he could fall, Zaydas appeared before him like a ghost and touched him.
The same actions were repeated, with the pirates being exterminated quickly and simply.
When it was over, Zaydas simply vanished.
"Where did he go?"
"Doesn't matter, we're saved!"
"Thank you, Zaydas, The Traveler!!"
While everything was filmed and broadcast to nearby islands, the same actions repeated across the world.
As soon as a pirate tried to take advantage of the chaos, a clone of Zaydas appeared and exterminated them.
───────────
"Why do you need to try so hard?" Grayfia asked him.
"I caused the chaos, so, do I not need to take responsibility to stop these disgusting pirates from taking advantage of it?" He replied.
"Zaydas-sama, do you intend to wipe out all pirates?" Shion asked.
"Of course not." He replied: "Only those who try to do something like Kaido and the idiots who kill for the simple thrill of killing and molesting women etc. But, I will only act like this until the chaos ends, after that, it would be better if the marines could become their support, but if they continue being as they are... I'll think of something by then."
"Isn't it simple?" Shuna said: "Just go and take this so-called One Piece and end this Pirate Era."
"It's an option." Zaydas didn't dismiss the idea.
───────────
Among the people in panic, the ones who were even more so were the nobles of the kingdoms that were linked to the World Government. Without their support, many of them who were dictators, it would be hard to say if they wouldn't be the next targets, which made them tremble in fear.
Of course, there was also the World Government itself.
Even with the departure of the Five Elders, they still existed in Mary Geoise.
The Holy Knights clashed directly with Zaydas's group.
Shion took the sword from her waist and pointed it at Figarland Garling.
Garling is a tall, well-built man, with an aquiline nose. His light blond hair is long and very distinctly styled.
"I will be your opponent." Shion pointed the sword at him which soon began transforming into a large Odachi.
When she saw the surprise in his eyes, a thin smile curved on her lips.
"Do you know what you've done?" Garling asked.
"Ehehe. If it's about the five useless ones and the other hidden in the castle, then, yes." She said proudly: "Zaydas-sama was simply doing good for humanity by getting rid of some useless ones~"
"You..." Veins became visible on Garling's forehead upon hearing that.
It was impossible not to get angry. He had great ambition, but with the end of Imu and the rest, all his ambition went away with them.
And, it wasn't just that, he knew that if he confronted the man with red-feathered wings flying in the sky, the chances of getting out alive were zero. That's why he wanted to capture one of them to earn a 'pass' to escape from there.
He wasn't foolish enough to think they could win.
Just by looking around, seeing one of the Holy Knights have his head cut off by a middle-aged man with a pair of horns, he understood that he couldn't just run away.
But, if he went against this woman who didn't look very strong... If he captured her, he might be able to get out alive.
As long as he stayed alive, there was still hope.
The world is huge, after all. Sooner or later, an opportunity would come! That's what he believed.
"You know, I'm a great cook and because of that I'm very good at cutting things." Shion said suddenly.
Her smile, her calmness—everything about her bothered Garling.
'Little bitch... Just wait, the moment I get my hands on you...'
Drawing his sword from its sheath, his Haki surrounded the entire blade, turning it black.
"Ohh, that must be Haki, right?" Shion commented: "Very well, I chose right this time. I hope you manage to last for a while."
That comment, even while treating him as an easy target, made the arteries in Garling's head almost burst.
"Let's see how long you'll stay so confident...!" He exclaimed through clenched teeth.
"Fumu." Shion let the Odachi fall, soon it touched the ground.
"CRACK!"
The instant the tip of her Odachi touched the ground, a crack opened and began extending forward very quickly.
The once confident Garling was astonished.
His expression froze.
When the crack in the ground reached him, he jumped into the air.
However, that did not lessen his unease.
What he saw was the simple fall of a large sword that soon made a huge gash in the ground.
It didn't seem to have any power involved, it was purely brute strength.
"Monster...!" He exclaimed.
In his view, Shion was no longer an easy lamb to subdue that he could use as a bargaining chip to get a 'pass' to escape that place.
Now that he saw she was not something he could handle, he no longer dared to be too arrogant.
This was someone who intimidated the weak and was feared by the strong.
In the World Government, there were many like him.
