Tatsuki pulled a special megaphone den den mushi from his chest and cleared his throat.
"Hello? Mic check, mic check. Boom-chick-a-boom, boom-chick-a-boom. Hmm, the sound quality is good."
The next second.
The voice, amplified several times, instantly rang out over the entire sea, drowning out the continuous sound of cannon fire.
On the Germa flagship, Judge suddenly looked up.
All the Clone Soldiers who were firing froze.
Even the civilians on the bombarded island were stunned.
Who the hell is this? Doing a mic check on the battlefield?
The voice continued.
"Ahem! Germa 66 illegal armed group ahead, hello! This is the Marineford 'Special Operations Enforcement Squad'!"
"I am the Commander-in-Chief of this enforcement operation, Warrant Officer Tatsuki."
Tatsuki didn't give them a chance to react and continued loudly, "We have received reports from concerned citizens that you are suspected of serious illegal gathering!"
"First, you have assembled more than three hundred warships here, which constitutes an extra-large illegal armed gathering! According to the latest Marineford regulations, any armed gathering of more than three people must submit a written application to Marineford thirty days in advance! Did you apply? No!"
"Second, you are firing cannons recklessly, causing this sea area to be filled with smoke, seriously damaging the air quality of the North Blue, and even causing ocean noise pollution! Have you considered the feelings of the fish sleeping in the sea? Simply devoid of morality!"
"Third and the most serious point! We need to check if you are carrying any contraband! Such as weapons of mass destruction!"
"Now, on behalf of Marineford, I will conduct a surprise inspection on you!"
There was a deathly silence.
Not only were the Germa soldiers dumbfounded, but even the Marines on the warship were stunned.
What illegal gathering! What fish sleep quality!
Sir, you just want to rob them openly, don't you?
Tatsuki's smile grew wider. He took a deep breath and threw out the final bombshell.
"Given the severity of your actions, you are hereby ordered to stop all activities immediately! Everyone disembark for a body search! Furthermore, you must pay a fine of five hundred million Berries!"
"If you don't cooperate..."
Tatsuki paused, his tone becoming cold. "We will have no choice but to deem you as violently resisting enforcement and will take all necessary mandatory measures, including but not limited to stewing you and your snails into soup together."
In the flagship command room.
Crack!
The goblet in Judge's hand was crushed, and red wine spilled everywhere.
"Five hundred million? Why don't you just go and rob the Heavenly Tribute?!"
The veins on Judge's forehead throbbed. The absurdity of being insulted by an ant made him laugh in anger.
"Stew us into soup? A mere Marineford Warrant Officer dares to speak so arrogantly in front of Germa?"
Who was he?
He was a scientist who once worked with Vegapunk! He was the overlord who ruled the North Blue!
"Fire!"
Judge swung his spear, his roar echoing through the hall, "Blast that scrap ship to pieces! Capture that bastard for me, I want to turn him into a specimen and hang him at the very top of the castle!"
Following the Commander-in-Chief's order, the Germa fleet showed impressive military discipline.
Clang... Clang...
Hundreds of snail warships turned their muzzles almost simultaneously, the dense black barrels locking onto the lone warship.
Boom... Boom...
The next instant, cannon fire poured down like a black rainstorm, the flames turning half the sky red.
That kind of terrifying fire density was enough to wipe a small island off the map in an instant.
[Ding! Detected that the host is extorting a government-affiliated nation!]
[Judgment: Extremely serious!]
[Violation Points +5000!]
Facing the sky full of cannon fire, Tatsuki sighed and took a step back.
"Oh my, getting anxious already?"
"Did everyone see that? The other side is violently resisting the law and intends to murder a Marine officer. The evidence is conclusive."
He turned his head, looked at the three people behind him who were already unable to hold back and smiled slightly.
"In that case, Sakazuki, Kuzan, Borsalino, it's up to you. Give this North Blue overlord a little Logia shock."
"Hmph, no need for your nonsense."
Sakazuki had long been unable to suppress the desire for destruction in his heart.
"Delusions of dominating the sea, scurrying around like rats, creating chaos..."
Sakazuki took a sudden step forward, and the warship's deck beneath his feet instantly carbonized and turned black due to the high temperature.
He soared into the air, his right arm rapidly expanding in mid-air and turning into rolling, flowing dark red magma, instantly reflecting a crimson glow across the originally gloomy sky.
On the Germa flagship, Judge looked up, his pupils shrinking violently as he saw a sight through his mask that made his soul tremble.
A giant lava fist, as large as half a fleet, obscured his vision like a falling meteorite.
"That's... a Logia?!" Judge's voice went out of tune.
In mid-air, Sakazuki looked down coldly at the ants below, his voice booming. "A bunch of trash relying on external objects, yet you dare to provoke justice?"
Great Eruption!
BOOM!
The destructive lava collided with the sky full of cannonballs. There was no suspense at all. The projectiles vaporized the moment they touched the magma, unable to block it for even a second.
Immediately after, the magma's momentum remained unchecked as it smashed heavily into the vanguard of the Germa fleet.
Sizzle—
The sea surface boiled.
The first giant snail ship didn't even get a chance to explode, it was directly melted by the high temperature.
Next came the second, the third...
A dozen sturdy steel fortresses turned into a sea of rolling molten iron in an instant.
"Aaaaaah!"
Countless Clone Soldiers returned to dust before they could even scream.
[Ding! Detected teammate Sakazuki causing destructive damage!]
[Judgment: Excessive law enforcement! Serious violation of Marine humanitarian spirit!]
[The host, as the commander, bears joint responsibility... Violation Points +2000!]
