Chapter 155: Baby Dragon
But this was Sky Island… and on top of that, he was tied up and injured. How was he supposed to escape?
A bitterness spread through Rear Admiral Reyes's heart.
Vaguely, he even felt a hint of uneasiness about the Marines' future. Even as a Marine himself, he knew their current condition all too well—they could barely maintain order across the seas.
Who knew how many powerful figures were hiding in the shadows, waiting for a chance to deal the Marines a fatal blow?
"Tell him to catch a few for me. He caught an entire bunch… That guy Raptorex…"
Looking at the pile of Marine soldiers, Jiang Qize couldn't help feeling speechless. He was not building a great wall—why did this look like rounding up laborers?
…
"Achoo—!"
Out at sea, Raptorex's sneeze made the surrounding waters explode outward as if they'd been blasted.
"Did I catch a cold?" Raptorex scratched his head and muttered.
Inside the God's Palace.
"A Marine rear admiral?"
Ze walked up to Rear Admiral Reyes and looked him over lightly.
"Summoner Ze…"
Reyes was tense, but he still glared at him, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
"Someone still remembers me? Looks like I'm not outdated yet. Good."
Ze gave a small laugh.
"Oh right—can you use Life Return?"
He suddenly asked.
He didn't care about the Six Powers themselves—but Life Return, the advanced form of the Six Powers, was valuable to him. It could burn stamina to enhance healing, growth, strength, and defense.
A very powerful technique.
When Reyes heard that question, he almost wanted to roll his eyes. If he could use Life Return, would he have been captured? He hadn't even mastered all of the Six Powers. He was just a branch rear admiral—this was giving him way too much credit.
"Forget it. Judging by your face, you can't. Won't tease you."
Ze smiled faintly. A wave of Conqueror's Haki burst out of him, sweeping over everyone instantly.
Buzz!!
Every Marine's eyes glazed over; their pupils slowly shifted into a golden hue. Within that golden light, a colossal silhouette spanning the world faintly appeared.
Even Reyes stared blankly, the reflected light in his eyes showing Ze's form from within that towering illusion.
"I… I am a Marine rear admiral…"
He suddenly muttered, hands clenching into fists as his expression twisted, trying to force his head downward.
Seeing this, Ze was genuinely surprised.
"So loyal to the Marines, huh…"
His Conqueror's Haki had a trait—submission. Submission to him.
But those with unwavering beliefs were extremely hard to make submit. Just like those Marines—none of them held absolute devotion to the organization. With enough pressure, they would leave.
Buzz!!
Ze exploded with another surge of Conqueror's Haki, a tangible force crashing into Reyes.
"Urgh…"
Reyes let out a muffled groan as his eyes rolled back and he collapsed.
The Marines around him toppled one after another.
"Dinosaur man…" Ze murmured.
He opened his system interface.

"Let's do Random Summon. The designated ones cost too much."
He muttered as he opened the Summon panel.
He tapped Random Summon. 1 million Beli deducted.

"Roooar~"
A huge dinosaur appeared—eight meters long and two meters tall. It resembled an oviraptor, but its scales were a bluish-gray marked with stripes.
