Inside the Ryugu Palace banquet hall, after Renzo's cold remark, the atmosphere dropped to freezing point once again.
King Neptune and the three princes didn't dare even breathe.
They stared in terror at the Admiral who had just declared he would protect Fish-Man Island, and only one thought remained in their minds:
'It's over.'
'This unpredictable savior… surely he wasn't about to target the Celestial Dragons?!'
"Lord Renzo…" Neptune trembled, trying to persuade him.
"Rehn."
Renzo ignored him completely. Without even getting up, he lay lazily on the floating sofa and issued his order to the round figure still kneeling on the floor.
"By your command!!!"
Rehn instantly understood the full meaning of this divine decree.
His fat face flushed bright red with extreme excitement.
"Dispose of them."
"Throw them back."
This wasn't merely killing.
This… was a declaration of authority.
Renzo was announcing to the world: Fish-Man Island was his vacation backyard.
"Lord Renzo! Your humble servant Rehn will surely deliver your efficiency and majesty to those ignorant worms!"
He slammed his forehead to the ground, then sprang to his feet.
Despite his round body, terrifying pressure erupted from him. Golden lightning crackled across his body.
Without another word, he turned into a bolt of golden lightning and blasted through the palace gates, vanishing into the deep sea.
"Ahhh!!!"
King Neptune cried out in despair.
"Admiral… Admiral Kizaru!!"
He swam desperately toward Kizaru.
"This will cause a war! Those are Celestial Dragons!!"
"Maa~."
Kizaru slowly finished his cocoa milk and shrugged.
"Your Majesty, I didn't hear anything~."
He stood and stretched lazily.
"Ahh, vacations make one sleepy. I should go take a nap too~."
He turned into light and disappeared, leaving Neptune and the princes trembling in the empty hall.
.....
Outside Ryugu Palace, Coral Reef Detention Area
The four Celestial Dragon agents were tightly bound with Seastone chains.
They had just regained consciousness.
"Damn it… that fat bastard… who is he?!"
"Iron Wall" Barricade struggled, but the seastone and electric paralysis prevented even a finger from moving.
"When Saint Jalmack hears this… he's dead! The whole G5, no! Fish-Man Island will be buried with him!" Kama snarled viciously.
"That's right! The authority of the Celestial Dragons, ugh-"
He suddenly stopped.
A golden lightning bolt silently formed in front of them.
Rehn's smiling, harmless-looking chubby face appeared.
"Well then, gentlemen trash, awake?"
His voice was cheerful, like a child given candy.
"Y-you demon! What are you going to do?!" Barricade shouted.
"Me?"
Rehn tilted his head, fanatic light flickering in his narrowed eyes.
"I am merely a humble janitor."
"Under my lord Renzo's divine order, I am here to… harmlessly process you."
"What?! No! You wouldn't dare! We belong to the Celestial Dragons!!"
"Too noisy."
Rehn's smile vanished instantly.
"Honestly, I hate your kind. No ability, no brains, no efficiency, just hiding behind those even more disgusting 'god-pigs' making noise everywhere."
He crouched and spoke as if explaining science.
"You have committed two, no, three, capital crimes in Lord Renzo's world."
"First," he raised one finger, "you tried to touch Lord Renzo's private property, the mermaids."
"Second," another finger, "you created noise on my lord's territory."
"And the most unforgivable, third…"
A cold electric light flashed in his eyes.
"You disturbed Lord Renzo's vacation."
He stood, spreading his arms as if embracing truth.
"This is the ultimate blasphemy, worthy of being efficiently purified ten thousand times."
"Die, madman! Saint Jalmack will aven-"
"Quiet."
Rehn waved impatiently.
"Before your 'recycling,' here's free advice."
He tapped his head.
"In your next life, don't use Celestial Dragons to threaten a god."
"Because… gods get angry."
The moment his words ended,
ZZZT!!!
No screams. No struggle.
Only four blinding black lightning flashes.
"Divine Silent Execution."
The four agents froze mid-expression.
Their bodies were carbonized and erased by two hundred million volts of black lightning.
Only four empty seastone shackles remained in the sea.
"Whew…"
Rehn clapped his hands, smiling again.
"Done. Clean, environmentally friendly, zero pollution. Lord Renzo will be pleased."
He picked up the shackles and looked upward, toward the Sabaody Archipelago.
"…Time to dump the trash."
A golden thunderbolt tore through the ten-thousand-meter ocean and shot toward the surface.
Sabaody Archipelago, Grove 1, Slave Auction House
Night had fallen, yet the place was still brightly lit.
After the Supernova Kid had been kicked into the ground by the mysterious "lightning fat man," Grove 1 hadn't calmed; it had grown frenzied.
Pirates and bounty hunters gathered, loudly discussing the "monster boy" and the man behind him, Admiral Haiiroyo.
"I saw it myself! Kid couldn't even fight back!"
"Terrifying! Is that even human?!"
"Since when did G5 become this scary?!"
At the peak of the noise-
BOOOOOOM!!!
A terrifying thunderclap suddenly descended from the sky!
"Waaah!!"
"Here he comes again!!"
Everyone looked up in terror.
A bolt of golden lightning, thick enough to blot out the sky, like a divine spear, slammed fiercely into the main square in front of the auction house!
The ground shook violently. The ornate gate and steps were annihilated.
From the smoke descended a five-meter-tall "Thunder God", Rehn's fat lightning form.
"Silence."
His voice, amplified by thunder, echoed across the district.
All the pirates collapsed to the ground, trembling under this terrifying pressure.
Ren looked at these silent ants and nodded with satisfaction
He casually tossed something.
Clang… clang… clang… clang.
Four empty seastone shackles landed in the scorched ruins.
"Listen carefully, all you trash of the Sabaody Archipelago."
His voice turned cold and authoritative, proclaiming Renzo's divine will.
"The owners of these shackles tried to create noise on my lord's territory…"
"…and have been electrocuted until not even ashes remained."
His golden lightning eyes swept the terrified crowd.
"My lord, Admiral Haiiroyo, is currently on vacation."
"And his mood… is very bad."
He raised his hand, pointing at the ruins, Grove 1, and the entire archipelago.
"So, he sent me here to deliver a message to all of you."
"From today onward, Fish-Man Island is under my lord's protection."
"Anyone who dares extend filthy hands toward that sea again…"
"Pirates, slave traders, or even…"
He showed a vicious grin.
"…Celestial Dragons."
"My Lord Renzo will personally handle them."
"Like these shackles, leaving not even a trace of ash."
"Do you understand?!"
Complete silence fell over the scene.
No one dared to answer.
Only fear remained on everyone's faces.
"Good."
Ren nodded with satisfaction.
"Noise cleared. Warning delivered. Efficiency… perfect."
He once again transformed into a bolt of golden thunder, shooting up into the sky and disappearing into the night.
Leaving behind only the four empty Seastone shackles, a group of "trash"... utterly terrified out of their wits, and a Sabaody Archipelago, where no one would sleep.
