Inside the luxurious palace of Mary Geoise, a beautiful woman sat lazily atop an enormous sofa.
A transparent bubble covered her head while luxurious noble robes draped over her graceful figure. Her skin was pale and flawless, her eyes sharp and arrogant, carrying the disgusting pride unique to the Celestial Dragons.
Kneeling before her was a man wearing a bird beak shaped mask.
Heavy Sea Prism Stone chains bound his hands and feet.
Around his neck hung an enormous explosive collar.
The woman slowly raised one bare foot toward him.
"Lick it."
The masked man slowly lifted his head.
The killing intent in his eyes became impossible to hide.
In all his years, he had never suffered such humiliation.
The woman before him was not only a Celestial Dragon, she was also the person he hated most at this moment.
The instant their eyes met, the female Celestial Dragon felt her body go cold.
It felt as though a monster had locked onto her throat.
Her face stiffened briefly before anger replaced the fear.
Bang!
She kicked him directly across the face.
"What kind of look is that?! I'm your master!"
"You filthy slave!"
The masked man stared at her silently.
He did not resist.
He knew exactly what the collar around his neck could do.
Death did not scare him.
But his mission had not ended yet.
He refused to die in such a pathetic way.
The woman sneered arrogantly.
"Heh, stubborn bastard."
"You know, my last slave was also from your Revolutionary Army."
The masked man's pupils instantly shrank.
"What did you say?"
He had never expected another Revolutionary Army member to have fallen into the hands of a Celestial Dragon.
This man was Crow Rags, commander of the Revolutionary Army's Northern Army.
After the failed rescue mission, he had been imprisoned by the World Government for nearly a month.
Originally, he was supposed to be executed.
Instead, this female Celestial Dragon took him away to become her personal slave.
During the short time he had spent inside this palace, he had suffered endless humiliation.
This woman seemed mentally unstable.
She constantly forced him to lick her feet.
Even remembering it made his stomach churn.
At this moment, he was already considering escape.
Unfortunately, the Sea Prism Stone chains drained nearly all his strength.
Even standing up felt difficult.
If things truly became hopeless, he would activate the collar and die together with her.
Just then, chaos erupted outside the palace doors.
"What are you doing?!"
"Stop!"
"This is the residence of Sherylia Palace!"
"Don't come closer!"
"Ahhh!"
Screams echoed one after another.
Sherylia frowned.
"Someone!"
No reply came.
"Get in here immediately!"
Still nothing.
Her expression gradually changed.
Normally, the agents guarding outside would respond instantly.
This time, even after shouting repeatedly, nobody answered.
Even someone as arrogant as her realized something was terribly wrong.
Before she could react further, a faint blue barrier suddenly expanded throughout the palace.
Click.
Clatter.
Click.
Clang!
The sound of chains falling onto the ground echoed throughout the hall.
Sherylia turned around in shock.
Crow Rags slowly stood up from the carpet.
The collar and Sea Prism Stone chains had already fallen to the floor.
Beside him stood a tall young man wearing a spotted white hat and holding a long sword.
It was Trafalgar D. Water Law.
The moment Sherylia realized what happened, rage filled her face.
"You insects actually dare stand before me without kneeling?!"
Neither of them answered.
Sherylia's expression twisted further.
"Are you deaf?! Kneel before me!"
Crack.
Crack.
Crow Rags slowly cracked his knuckles while walking toward her.
Each step made her face turn paler.
"You... what are you trying to do?"
She hurriedly shouted toward the entrance again.
"Guards! Protect me!"
Law casually adjusted his hat.
"If you're looking for the agents outside, they won't be coming."
Sherylia's voice trembled.
"W... what do you mean?"
Law's expression remained indifferent.
"They've already been liberated."
The moment she understood those words, fear completely swallowed her arrogance.
Earlier, she already suspected something terrible had happened.
Now the truth stood directly in front of her.
Crow Rags continued walking slowly toward her.
She stumbled backward barefoot across the carpet.
"Stay away from me!"
"You slaves can't touch me!"
Her voice gradually became shrill.
Unfortunately, her threats meant nothing here.
Her heel suddenly caught the edge of the carpet.
Bang!
She fell hard onto the floor.
"Ah!"
Crow Rags looked down at her pale feet.
Disgust flashed through his eyes.
For half a day, those same feet had repeatedly stepped on his face.
He suppressed the urge to crush her skull instantly.
The next second, his body transformed into countless black crows.
The flock surged forward and completely swallowed Sherylia's screams.
Meanwhile, on another street within Mary Geoise, thunder echoed through the sky.
"Yahahaha!"
"So these are the so called gods of the world?"
"I expected more from insects arrogant enough to call themselves gods!"
Lightning flashed wildly across the streets.
Far away, inside the Room of Authority, the Five Elders quietly watched the live broadcast from Brown Plaza through a giant Transponder Snail projection.
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro narrowed his eyes coldly.
"Hmph. There are more rebellious insects than I expected."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn rested his chin against his cane.
"That's what makes this entertaining."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter adjusted the sleeve of his suit while speaking with indifference.
"No matter how much insects struggle, they can never challenge gods."
"If one insect rebels, kill one."
"If an entire world rebels, erase the entire world."
To them, humanity existed solely beneath the rule of the World Government.
Anyone daring to challenge that rule deserved extermination.
At that moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside.
"Report!"
Nusjuro frowned slightly.
"Enter."
A Special Agent rushed into the room and knelt immediately.
"Reporting to the Gorosei, intruders have invaded Mary Geoise and liberated all Revolutionary Army slaves!"
"And..."
His voice hesitated.
Saturn's expression darkened.
"Speak."
The agent swallowed hard.
"The life cards of Sherylia Palace, Saint Songlin Zhan, Saint Osaka, Rurumiya Palace, and Saint Wuzhi Taro have all burned away completely."
The room instantly fell silent.
The expressions of the Five Elders darkened.
Just as Saturn was about to speak again, a strange voice suddenly echoed inside their minds.
"You no longer need to concern yourselves with the Celestial Dragons."
"Focus all preparations on the Crusimia War."
The Five Elders exchanged glances before nodding silently.
Saturn waved his hand dismissively toward the agent.
"You may leave."
"We will handle this matter later."
The agent quickly lowered his head and withdrew from the room.
Inside the silent chamber, the expressions of the Five Elders gradually turned colder.
