A New Path - Chapter 193

“Grandpa!” Robin said in the most cheerful tone she could muster. The horrifying realization for Spandam brough Robin great joy to see, and in turn, her smile grew wider.

“G-GRANDPA!?” Spandam screamed at the top of his lungs. “HES YOUR GRANDPA!!?”

“That I am! And, kidnapping her was a bad move, metal face.” The overpowered Grandpa pulled out his emperor tone and stared down Spandam with his casual killing intent leaking out, which made the CP9 agents unable to take a single simple step in either direction. Amell turned his gaze towards Robin and noticed the fading, but still visible red mark on her cheek. “Now, this! Makes me angry!” He took a step in Spandam’s direction and the CP9 chief almost left his boots behind as he was launched back by a great blast of air. He crashed into the wall next to Franky.

Amell turned to look at the core agents of CP9 and his tranquil smile sent a chill down their spine. “I am not killing someone who can not fight back.” He stopped the leakage of his intent. “Come at me one at a time or all at once, I do not care either way.” He stood casually with his hands behind his back and looked at Lucci.

“DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHO I AM? WHO WE ARE? DO YOU DARE TO MAKE AN ENEMY OUT OF US!!?” Spandam had struggled his way upon his feet. His eyes were bloodshot and his mind was in shambles.

“Lubbock, shut him up, please!” Amell said and Lubbock that stood by one of the windows. But, before he could do whatever it was he was planning to do to the chief, the massive door leading out from the office was slammed open and countless marines rushed into the room. This room was massive, so even though all of these marines rushed in, there was still plenty of empty space left.

“Well, what do we have here?” From out in the corridor to the office came Bradley. He strolled in casually like he owned the place. “This is not what I expected to find when I came here!” He walked to the front of all the marines and laid eyes on Amell.

“ADMIRAL BRADLEY! I COMMAND YOU TO KILL HIM! KILL HIM AND MAKE HIM PAY FOR HURTING ME!” At this moment it was like Spandam had seen the light. The graceful light of God. Bradley was known for having power comparable to an emperor, so it was no wonder that his confidence just shot through the roof.

Bradley looked at Spandam and then back at Amell. “You have returned! I suppose this meeting was inevitable.” His aura increased, causing random marines all around the base to faint. His might was truly immovable and rock-solid, just like a mountain.

“A little earlier than expected, but now, it’s not going to change anything.” The talk between these two thoroughly confused the marines around Bradley. CP9 stood frozen in their place admiring Bradley’s God-like presence.

“Sir, what are your orders?” Bradley’s second-in-command asked while keeping one hand on his sword. He couldn’t deny that he was terryfied standing in front of Amell, the strongest emperor. But, Bradley’s reputation did him justice for no marine in here thought they could lose this battle with him here.

“What a mess this is!” Bradley placed a hand on his sword and slowly pulled it out of its sheath. “May I?” He looked at Amell.

“You may!” Amell answered casually.

“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!? DO SOMETHING, YOU USELESS ADMIRAL!!” Spandam screamed at the top of his lungs as Bradley turned around and faced his own marine horde. His aura went dark and dark clouds gathered in the sky above Enies lobby. The marines took a step back unconsciously.

“I can’t believe that this is the second time I have to do this.” Bradley looked over all the marines and started speaking. “My name… Is Portgas D Bradley. Son of Portgas D Amell, also known as the Enigmatic emperor. I granted you this knowledge so that when you get to the Underworld, you know who to blame. Wait for me there when I eventually join you all!” Bradley raised his sword slightly as all the people unaware of the truth felt their heads spinning in terror.

“ADMI….!” A quick sideways slash was all it took for the heads to drop onto the floor, and for the sea of blood to quickly fill the floor of the office. Bradley sheathed his sword and looked back at Spandam. “Forgive this useless Admiral, for he just killed all of your men.”
