Judicial Island.
Perpetually daytime, with no night, also known as the "Island of No Night."
This is one of the three major institutions under the World Government's jurisdiction, a place specifically for judging pirates.
Any prisoner who comes here is bound to have no return, symbolizing the absolute justice of the World Government.
In short, once you arrive, you are guilty.
On the Bridge of Hesitation leading to the Gate of Justice, Spandam held his elephant sword with a panicked expression.
"Damn it, why would Reno come here? These useless Marines, even an Admiral couldn't catch him."
Spandam cursed frantically, spittle flying everywhere.
Although it was just Sengoku's guess, he dared not gamble.
He had already received intelligence that Lucci and Kaku had been killed by Reno.
As for Kalifa, she was nowhere to be found.
But it was definitely related to Reno.
If Reno really came to Judicial Island, he would surely be treated as a soldier to be replenished.
Dead legs, run!
As long as he crossed the Bridge of Hesitation and opened the Gate of Justice, he would be saved.
"Spandam, where are you going?!!!"
Buzz!!!
A chilling voice drifted over. Spandam's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked back.
"Nami… Nico… Nico Robin?!!!"
Upon seeing Robin, Spandam screamed as if he had seen a ghost.
The devil child, Nico Robin, whom they had searched for years, had actually joined the Reno Pirates?!
Thinking of all the things his father had done to Nico Robin back then, Spandam felt a sudden chill.
Robin and Nami's synchronized footsteps, a rhythmic pounding, sounded like a death knell, scaring Spandam into retreating repeatedly.
"Don't come any closer!!!"
Spandam screamed hysterically at the two, waving his elephant sword Funkfreed while frantically pulling something out of his pocket.
It was a gold den den mushi.
Clutching the gold den den mushi, Spandam felt a wave of relief as if he had grabbed a life raft, and immediately said proudly, "You two stop right there! This is a gold den den mushi that can activate a Marine Buster Call! As soon as I press it, you two will be buried with me!!!"
Tap, tap, tap.
Tap, tap, tap.
Nami and Robin were unmoved, gradually closing in on Spandam.
"Robin, is this the guy?!!!" Nami glanced at Spandam with some disgust.
Robin nodded in response, her face as cold as frost.
Her current predicament was all thanks to Spandam's father, Spandine.
Since Spandine isn't here, I'll deal with Spandam first.
"Hey! You two, did you hear what I said?!"
"This is a Buster Call, Robin. You wouldn't not know what a Buster Call means, would you?!"
Seeing that the two women still showed no signs of stopping, Spandam's eyes turned bloodshot, and he shouted in a outwardly fierce but inwardly cowardly manner.
At these words, Robin stopped, and said coldly, "Spandam, you shouldn't have brought up that incident from back then!"
"Thirty Fleur: Lock!"
Along with a flurry of petals, several arms suddenly appeared on Spandam's body.
The next second, the arms firmly bound his hands, head, and neck.
"Robin, you... you want—"
"Claw!"
Before Spandam could finish his sentence, Robin's two slender hands clenched tightly.
Crack!
Crack!
In the quiet underground passage, the sound of bones dislocating echoed repeatedly.
Spandam's eyes widened, his neck twisted, and his life instantly ceased.
"He deserved to die!" Robin looked at Spandam's corpse expressionlessly, and said coldly.
Nami picked up the elephant sword and the gold den den mushi (golden snail phone from the ground, and looked at Robin, "Robin, let's go to his office to find those two Devil Fruits."
Robin nodded slightly, took one last look at Spandam's corpse, and then left.
Not long after they left.
A crack suddenly appeared in the Gate of Justice, which had not been opened for a long time.
At the same time, at the main entrance of Judicial Island.
Reno successfully found the Giant warriors Kashii and Oimo, who were guarding the gate.
"What did you say?? Captain Brogy and Captain Dorry weren't captured by the World Government, and are currently dueling in Little Garden?!"
Kashii and Oimo stared at each other, feeling like their brains weren't working properly.
One person had one story, who was telling the truth?!
Reno couldn't be bothered to explain to them, and directly teleported with the two!
The ancient island, Little Garden!
Deep in the forest, Reno appeared out of thin air with Kashii and Oimo.
"This... you... I..."
Kashii and Oimo looked around, already incoherent.
What kind of ability was this?!
It was too amazing.
One second they were in Judicial Island, the next second they arrived at... um, where was this?!
Ignoring the two giants' surprise, Reno directly activated his Observation Haki, sensing the entire island.
Although his Observation Haki had not yet been upgraded and advanced, and had not reached the level of foreseeing the future or hearing voices.
But with the current strength of his Haki, plus the blessing of Thunder Power, his Observation Haki could easily cover the entire ancient island, and even further.
Just like Eneru on Sky Island back then.
Soon, he found Brogy and Dorry, who were barbecuing.
He took the two and teleported again!
On the other side.
A marine warships of the highest specifications had already passed through the Gate of Justice and arrived at Judicial Island.
There weren't many people on the deck.
But if any pirates recognized their identities, they would definitely run as far as possible, without even looking back.
Because if they ran too slowly, they would experience someone's light-speed kick.
At the bow, four people stood.
Two in front.
One was wearing a yellow and white striped suit, with sunglasses on his face, and a shifty appearance.
The other was muscular, wearing a Marine justice cloak, with a scar over his left eye.
They were none other than Admiral Kizaru and Marine Hero Garp, who were carrying out this mission.
On their sides were two Naval Headquarters elite Vice Admirals—Eight-Sword Style Onigumo and the Dalmatian.
Further back on the deck were dozens of elite Marine Soldiers.
Although the number of people was not large, the lineup was extremely luxurious.
"Vice Admiral Garp, do you think Reno and the others will really come?!" Kizaru looked at the calm Judicial Island ahead, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
As an Admiral who worked nine to five, he felt that Sengoku was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Even if Reno's direction of departure was consistent with Judicial Island, it didn't mean they would come to Judicial Island.
"Hahahahaha... It's best if Reno comes. This old man has always wanted to give him a good beating." Garp picked his nose without any regard for his image, flicking bits of snot into the sea.
To this day, he still harbored resentment over Luffy's incident.
Since the day Luffy ignored his advice and chose to become a pirate, he knew that Luffy would definitely encounter many enemies, even powerful ones.
To grow, some things had to be experienced.
But it was one thing if he didn't know; it was another if he knew his own grandson was almost killed by Reno, yet remained indifferent.
He was a very incompetent grandfather.
Don't talk about using public office for private revenge; it was only natural for the Marine to discipline pirates.
Every time he thought about this, he got angry. That little brat was so embarrassing, he knelt as soon as he left Windmill Village.
He was far worse than Ace.
"Hmm?!"
Just then, Kizaru suddenly raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping towards the Tower of Justice.
His face then showed an extremely exaggerated expression, "Oh oh oh, as expected of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, truly omnipotent."
After a self-deprecating smile, Kizaru's body transformed into countless golden particles, suddenly disappearing from the deck.
Garp also looked at the Tower of Justice, grinned, and said, "Reno, this old man is coming for you!!!"
On the other side.
"Hahahahaha Robin, today was really worth it. Two Devil Fruits, an elephant sword, and a gold den den mushi (golden snail phone." Nami proudly showed off her gains from this trip.
Although there was no gold or silver treasure, these items were worth at least several hundred million Berries.
"Captain will definitely like them." Robin showed an elegant smile.
For her, the biggest gain was still getting rid of Spandam.
Just as Nami was about to summon an island cloud to take Robin away, her movements suddenly froze, and her gaze became solemn.
Before the two, a pile of golden particles flashed, condensing into a yellow, shifty figure.
"Oh oh oh, let this old man see who this is?!"
Kizaru, with his hands in his pockets, slightly lifted his sleepy eyelids, sizing up the two women, and pouted, "The navigator of the Reno Pirates, Nami, and... hmm??! Nico Robin?!"
A rare hint of surprise flashed in Kizaru's eyes.
Aokiji's intelligence didn't say that the devil child, Nico Robin, had also joined the Reno Pirates.
"Admiral Kizaru?!" Nami's face darkened, and she immediately revealed Kizaru's identity.
Although it was her first time seeing Kizaru, Reno had previously given them a crash course.
As long as they saw a man in a yellow suit with a shifty appearance, it was undoubtedly Kizaru.
Yellow suit, shifty appearance.
It all matched up.
His identity was naturally obvious.
"Hahahahahaha, two little brats, why are there only two of you?! Where's Reno?!"
Not far away, another hearty laugh came.
Nami and Robin looked closely, their faces becoming even uglier.
"Garp!!!"
It was Marine Vice Admiral Garp!
"Hahahaha, since you know this old man, quickly tell that brat Reno to come out. I want to teach him a good lesson!" Garp laughed, his Observation Haki covering the entire Judicial Island.
"Huh?? Is it really just you two?!" Garp scratched his head, looking puzzled.
"Hmm?!" Kizaru, who also found nothing, narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since Reno isn't here, I can only take you back to report, especially you, Nico Robin."
When mentioning Robin's name, Kizaru deliberately drew out the sound.
In his opinion, Nico Robin's value was far higher than Reno's.
Taking her back would also be a great achievement.
"Want to take us back?! Daydreaming!" Nami snorted, completely unafraid.
The current Nami was no longer the Nami who had just left Cocoyasi Village.
Even if she wasn't Kizaru's opponent, she wouldn't sit idly by.
"Kizaru, if you want to take us away, you'll have to ask our Captain if he agrees." Robin chuckled lightly, striking a fighting pose with her hands.
"Hmm?!" Kizaru let out a surprised sound, looking at the two women in disbelief.
What kind of spell had Reno cast on them?!
They knew they were facing two Admiral-level combatants, yet they were still so fearless.
In his script, shouldn't Robin have been pale and trembling all over after seeing him?!
"Hahahahaha, Reno has already run away. Are you still hoping he'll come to save you?!" Garp shook his head, feeling that Nami and the others were too naive.
After so many years in the Marine, what kind of pirates hadn't he seen.
Betrayal, abandonment, exploitation—it was all too common.
Facing Garp's taunts, Nami and Robin exchanged glances, and said disdainfully, "Garp, Reno isn't that kind of person. He'll definitely come to pick us up after he's done with his own business."
Robin nodded in agreement, "Our Captain isn't someone who abandons his comrades, and..." Robin paused slightly, then coldly swept her gaze over Kizaru and Garp, "He hates it when others bully his women."
"When he comes back, you'd better think carefully about how to endure his wrath."
A moment of silence.
After a while.
"Hahahahaha..."
"Hahahahaha..."
"..."
On the marine warships, all the Marine Soldiers, including the two Marine Vice Admirals, burst into laughter.
They really couldn't hold it in.
Anyone who didn't know would think Robin was talking to some stray cats and dogs.
This was Admiral Kizaru and Marine Hero Garp!
"Is it that funny?!" A playful voice suddenly rang out.
The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
The next second, Reno appeared beside Nami and Robin.
Garp and Kizaru exchanged glances, frowning simultaneously.
Just now, they had clearly used Observation Haki to sense, but hadn't found Reno. Where did he come from?
"Captain, I knew you'd come." Robin looked at Reno calmly, a smile blooming on her face.
"Reno, these two old geezers are bullying Robin and me. Teach them a lesson for us." Nami put her hands on her hips, imperiously looking at Garp and Kizaru.
Did they really think she had no backing?!
As if remembering something else, Nami leaned into Reno's ear and whispered, "If you can't beat them, run first. We can teach them a lesson next time."
She had been so angry that she forgot she was facing two Admirals (in terms of combat power).
Reno was startled, then shook his head with a wry smile.
They were so close that Garp and Kizaru had heard everything.
"No need, Robin is right." Reno turned, his cold gaze fixed on Garp and Kizaru, his expression gradually darkening as he said chillingly, "I really hate it when others bully my women, especially these two."
Boom!!!
As his words fell, a powerful and furious aura, strong enough to move everyone, erupted from within Reno.
"Hmm?!" Kizaru and Garp both turned their heads, staring at Reno with interest.
He indeed had some skill; no wonder he managed to escape from Aokiji.
"Oh my, what a scary little monster." Kizaru still maintained his lecherous demeanor. He casually glanced at Reno, then looked at Vice Admiral Garp, saying indifferently, "Vice Admiral Garp, will you go or will I?!"
Garp picked his nose, then grinned, "You cover me, just don't let him run away."
The revenge for his grandson had to be handled by the grandfather himself.
"Hahahahahahaha..."
Hearing their conversation, a cold smile bloomed on Reno's lips, "You two old geezers, you really know how to put on an act!"
"From Naval Headquarters all the way to Judicial Island, right?!"
"Don't hold back, come at me together!"
Rumble
Rumble
Silver lightning fully erupted, and rolling thunder assaulted all directions. The entire Judicial Island instantly transformed into a lightning domain.
Everyone looked up in terror, watching the scene above, like a natural disaster, speechless with shock.
In mid-air, Reno spread his arms, his pupils already a terrifying silver-white, like a thunder god descended.
Thick bolts of lightning coiled around his body, like venomous snakes weaving and slithering.
Reno looked down at the two from above, uttering chilling words: "Garp, Kizaru, come fight!"
Rolling sound waves swept out.
"To have developed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to such an extent, a dangerous individual like you, Impel Down is your ultimate destination."
Garp's face no longer held its previous relaxed indifference, and Kizaru's was the same.
In Marine records, all Rumble-Rumble Fruit Users were incredibly troublesome!
They just hadn't expected Reno to grow so quickly.
"Nami, Robin, the others are yours!"
"Remember, leave no one!"
"Don't worry, Reno, we've long found them unpleasant!" Nami looked at Onigumo, a cruel smile appearing on her face.
She was indeed no match for an Admiral, but against a Vice Admiral, she could kill!
