Chapter 395: Plundering the Heavenly Tribute (2)
Ignis stood inside the Treasury, maintaining his Phasing state.
A substantial vortex spread outwards from Ignis as its center.
A large amount of Treasure and Beli was sucked into Ignis's Body.
This was the Ability of the Void Fruit during Phasing.
As Ignis further developed the Void Fruit, a Void Space gradually opened up within his Body.
However, Ignis preferred to call it the Void World.
This World would continuously expand as Ignis's Strength improved and his Ability was developed.
It was the existence of the Void World that led Ignis to decide on the Operation to Plunder the Heavenly Tribute.
The Void Space had not existed for long.
In the past, Ignis focused more on developing and utilizing the Void Power.
However, after realizing the necessity of a portable Space for himself, Ignis spent some Time developing it.
Ignis had possessed the Void Fruit for over ten years.
This was not a difficult matter for him, as the Void Fruit itself was a Devil Fruit that touched upon Space.
Finishing all of this.
Ignis left the Treasury, taking with him the Positioning Device he had placed in the Ship's interlayer beforehand.
At the same Time, he took out a small silver Machine and attached it to the original location of the Positioning Device.
This was a Powerful Bomb created by Doctor Miguel.
Its powerful Destructive Power could completely destroy the entire Transport Ship.
Ignis only needed to press the switch for this Bomb to Explode.
This was the surprise he left for the World Government.
It was also to mislead the World Government in case they might suspect him in the Future.
Furthermore, it was to erase any evidence that might be left behind.
When the people guarding the Heavenly Tribute died, who would know exactly what happened?
Ignis's Time was tight.
After placing the Bomb.
He hurried towards the next Transport Ship.
Ignis's flying Speed was not slow, yet it took him twenty-five days to finish Plundering the Heavenly Tribute from twelve Member Nations.
The Change in the Transport Ships' Shipping Route also disrupted Ignis's originally set route, causing him to spend more Time chasing the Transport Ships.
He didn't know how far he had traveled before completing his preset Target.
The Heavenly Tribute from twelve Member Nations amounted to over sixty billion Beli falling into his hands.
The World Government's Heavenly Tribute suffered Losses of nearly one-tenth.
With the Losses of twelve portions of Heavenly Tribute, at least four or five Responsible Parties for the World Government's Heavenly Tribute would lose their lives.
This was an undeserved disaster for them.
As the World Government became increasingly strict, the risk of the Heavenly Tribute being stolen was getting lower and lower.
Especially with the wars among the various giants in the New World, which had fallen silent.
Ignis followed the twelfth Transport Ship to Red Port.
Red Port connected to the Red Line.
Ignis was somewhat surprised to find that on one side of Red Port, there was an exclusive Area belonging to the World Government.
Following an artificially excavated Secret Path, one could directly reach below the Red Line.
This was a Special Passage that ascended directly to Mary Geoise, ten thousand meters high.
"What a grand undertaking."
Ignis exclaimed.
The Red Line had actually been directly breached, and from top to bottom at that.
To create such a Passage, who knew how much manpower and Material Resources it would cost.
Ignis somewhat guessed what the World Government needed so many Slaves for.
This Passage showed clear signs of excavation, and even Imprints of Blood.
Perhaps below Mary Geoise, there had long been Passages connecting to the Great Sea.
However, this was not his primary Target.
World Government staff were handling the handover and registration at Red Port.
Once registered, they could open the Treasury and transport the Heavenly Tribute.
Ignis had already guessed how the Heavenly Tribute would be transported to Mary Geoise next.
This Transport Ship was the first among Ignis's Targets to arrive at Red Port.
There were no other Heavenly Tribute Transport Ships at Red Port, otherwise Ignis would have wanted to take this opportunity to Plunder a few more portions of Heavenly Tribute.
Ignis knew the Time had come.
He had to detonate the Bomb before the World Government opened the Treasury.
Secretly moving away from Red Port, Ignis's Body remained suspended in the Sky.
He took out a Secret Mechanism from his pocket and pressed it without hesitation.
Inside the Transport Ship's interlayer, the dormant bomb suddenly lit up with a red light, silently flashing twice.
"Boom!"
The terrifying Explosion instantly destroyed the entire Transport Ship.
A large amount of debris rose into the Sky, scattering and falling.
Only the Treasury inside the Ship remained intact, and under its immense weight, it quickly sank into the Seabed.
The nearby Marine Warship was nearly half-destroyed due to its close proximity, and there were even considerable casualties.
The people on the Shore were all stunned, never having expected such a thing to happen; it was simply too sudden.
"Quick! Salvage the Treasury and see if there are any Losses to the Heavenly Tribute." A cry of alarm snapped everyone back to reality, and they frantically tried to salvage the sunken Heavenly Tribute.
The terrifying Explosion even startled the Merchants in other Areas of Red Port and the Marine Base stationed at Red Port.
They all knew something had happened, because that was the World Government's exclusive Area.
Based on the timing, it was clearly the days when the Heavenly Tribute was continuously being transported.
The news began to Secretly spread.
There was no way to cover it up.
Red Port was a chaotic mix of people, and the World Government essentially accepted anyone who paid.
Soon, the Treasury was salvaged.
Upon opening it.
"It's over, it's over!"
The Government Official receiving the Heavenly Tribute trembled so much he couldn't stand.
His eyes were somewhat vacant, and his face was filled with Fear.
Inside, it was completely empty.
"The Heavenly Tribute has been Plundered!"
"What?"
A loud roar erupted from the Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral's Office.
It was truly unbelievable.
They had thought that this Time the Heavenly Tribute transport would be safe and sound, and everyone who had Targeted the Heavenly Tribute had failed.
But at this final juncture, such a thing had actually happened.
Right at Red Port, the Transport Ship was blown up, and the Heavenly Tribute was stolen without a sound.
The Office door suddenly opened.
Advisor Tsuru entered, her expression grave.
Kong swallowed, his heart skipped a beat, and even his Three Corpse Nerves instinctively felt a pang of pain.
He knew that even worse news was coming.
"It wasn't just one Transport Ship that had an accident. Eleven other Transport Ships on their way were also blown up. Nearby Warships suffered severe damage, and the Treasuries sank into the Seabed."
"We need to send people to salvage the Treasuries. Currently, we don't know if the Heavenly Tribute inside these Treasuries has been affected."
Tsuru's tone was somewhat grave.
Although she said that, their intuition told them that the Heavenly Tribute on these Transport Ships had also been affected.
