Three figures in black robes appeared on the summit of Drum Mountain.
Looking at the castle ahead, one of the black-robed figures slowly drew a blade resembling a longsword from his waist.
He swung it once.
A blue sword slash shot forth; with just a flash of sword light, the enormous castle was instantly split in two.
Rumbling---
The entire castle swayed left and right, collapsed, and erupted with a series of tremendous noises, dust and smoke filling the air.
Chopper, under his black robe beside them, stared wide-eyed at this scene, his mouth agape, wanting to speak but stopping, and only after a long while did he speak haltingly:
"Th-this..."
Sabo turned and glanced at him, saying in a calm voice:
"No need to be surprised, just routine! This is merely child's play!"
"Kyle's strength is far, far beyond this level; once you've been around him longer, you naturally won't be this shocked anymore!"
"Far... beyond this level?"
Chopper muttered softly, his eyes filled with shock.
On the other side, within the castle ahead, sudden bursts of angry shouts came from within, followed closely by several figures darting out from it.
Kyle glanced at them.
Mm-hmm! All small fry, didn't recognize them.
Before long, as two figures with distinctive features rushed out, Kyle finally recognized them.
On the left was a slightly above average height man with wavy lips, always sporting a mournful face, dressed in checkerboard, turquoise clothing like a clown's---the Bad of the Drum Kingdom, Chess!
On the right was a man with a black, afro-like explosive hairstyle and beard, wearing boxing gloves, dressed in orange clothing with white trim, and a yellow cloak over it---the Evil Affairs Minister of the Drum Kingdom, Cromolimon!
Why could Kyle remember these two minor characters?
Of course, it was because they were one of the Legendary Fusion fragments!
Those two, along with Wapol, could merge into a combined warrior known as 'Chessmarimo'!
Although it wasn't as impressive as the original's Giant Super Emperor!
Speaking of which, he had now also gathered three fragments for the Giant Super Emperor; with a bit more gathering, maybe he could fuse into the Giant Super Emperor too?
Of course, he definitely wouldn't be the one acting as a fusion fragment.
As a human being, that would be way too embarrassing!!
"Who are you?!"
Cromolimon frowned at the three and roared angrily.
Sabo stepped forward and spoke with a hoarse voice:
"Originally, with your status, you're not qualified for me to tell you our identities, but to satisfy your curiosity, I can tell you!"
"We are the Revolutionary Army!!!"
??!!
Upon hearing this, not only did Cromolimon and the others across from them show extremely shocked expressions, but even Kyle beside Sabo couldn't help but cast a glance his way, a trace of surprise in his eyes.
You little rascal, your Revolutionary Army heart never dies, right?!
They hadn't discussed what identity to use before coming; the original plan was just to avoid mentioning their identity.
But judging from Sabo's recent behavior...
Everything was improvised!
Not bad! Can't be a Revolutionary with your real identity, so you have to cook up a Revolutionary identity to play, huh?
Sabo had also come up with using the Revolutionary Army identity on a whim.
From his perspective, although he was a Marine, he didn't actually have any ill feelings towards the Revolutionary Army.
He even knew that the leader of the Revolutionary Army was Luffy's father, that old man Garp's son.
If he hadn't joined the Marines, perhaps the Revolutionary Army would have been a good place for him to go.
And using the Revolutionary Army identity for what they were doing today was perfectly suitable.
Because the Revolutionary Army had already done plenty of similar things; they had liberated the citizens of many places and overthrown the tyrannical rule of many country's kings.
Using the Revolutionary Army identity to do this made perfect sense!!
Beside him, Chopper was just acting like a transparent person at this moment.
Before coming, it had already been said that whenever they encountered people, he didn't need to say anything at all.
"Bastards!! Who's the dead fool looking for trouble? I'll chew you to pieces!!"
At that moment, another cursing, grumbling voice came from within the dust cloud, and then Wapol's figure jumped out from it.
He immediately spotted Kyle and the others ahead, and especially upon seeing the Shenchuan in Kyle's hand, he became even more furious and immediately intended to go over and pick a fight.
But just then, Cromolimon and Chess beside him quickly and sharply grabbed hold of him.
"What are you two doing? Let me go, I'm going to..."
"They're the Revolutionary Army!!"
The latter half of Wapol's intended words immediately got stuck in his throat, his face momentarily blank.
The next second, he suddenly jumped up and shouted:
"The Revolutionary Army?!!"
Wapol's mouth opened wide, his entire face twisted with shock.
After a moment, he calmed his shock, turned his head, and stared intently at the three, speaking with bluster despite inner fear:
"You have some nerve!"
"How dare the Revolutionary Army appear before me, a king of a World Government member nation?"
"Leave right now, and I might consider not reporting this to the World Government; otherwise, if the World Government finds out about your trail, you're finished!"
"Oh? Report to the World Government? I'm so scared, boo hoo!"
"The World Government is so scary, I'm going to be hunted to death!!"
Kyle shouted exaggeratedly, his movements large and utterly overdone, but his tone carried calmness and mockery.
"What do you think... if we kill you, will you still have the chance to report to the World Government?!"
As the words fell, a terrifying murderous intent burst forth from Kyle, sweeping towards the crowd ahead.
In an instant, the faces of Wapol and his underlings changed drastically, layer upon layer of cold sweat seeping out on their foreheads.
"You..."
Just as Wapol uttered a single word, Kyle's figure suddenly appeared before him, Shenchuan resting against his neck.
"Stop, you are not allowed to harm King Wapol!!"
Just then, from another side, a burly figure rushed out, charging at Kyle with a iron shovel in hand.
While charging at Kyle, he transformed into a humanoid wild bison, adding even more ferocity.
Dalton?
Kyle silently recited the name.
At this time, Dalton was still the captain of Wapol's guard; he hadn't yet fully experienced Wapol's tyranny, nor had he experienced the situation where Wapol abandoned his citizens and fled.
Therefore, at this moment, he was still loyal to Wapol.
But---
That was none of Kyle's business!
*Thump---*
A dull sound came, and Dalton's face instantly showed a horrified expression.
His full-force iron shovel attack was blocked by Kyle extending a single finger.
That one finger, in Dalton's eyes at that moment, seemed like an insurmountable chasm; he couldn't advance an inch.
"Just stay put over there."
Kyle said softly, and a powerful force erupted from that single finger, passing through Dalton's iron shovel and slamming into him, instantly blasting him away.
The terrifying impact caused him to lose consciousness in an instant, his eyes rolling back as he landed in the snow not far away.
Kyle turned his gaze, once again landing on Wapol.
"Are you ready to die, King Wapol?"
