The royal capital, Albana.
Due to the explosions in Yuba and Yudi yesterday, martial law will be imposed across the country for one day.
All citizens are not allowed to go out and must wait at home for search.
Naturally, no one objected to such a request, and everyone cooperated very well.
After all, no one wants to be walking down the street and suddenly a bomb explodes next to them.
In front of the palace.
Ten strong and imposing men stood guard in front of Ajin, their faces calm.
In the square in front of the palace, thousands of soldiers were holding weapons, quietly waiting for orders from their superiors.
Ajin closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the steps in front of the palace.
People who didn't know him would think he was resting with his eyes closed.
In fact, he was currently using his full strength to open his mind network, constantly checking for suspicious people in the city.
Every few minutes, he would open his eyes and draw a circle on the map beside him.
After a long time, Ajin finally stopped drawing circles, stood up from the ground, and called the ten billionaire elders and the officers who cooperated with them to his side.
"The circled location on the picture is our target today."
"Each of you will take 200 soldiers and bring back everyone inside."
"If there is strong resistance, you can kill them on the spot."
"If you encounter an opponent you cannot defeat, please contact me immediately."
Ajin gave orders to the people in front of him with a calm expression.
For him, who had been the captain of a pirate group with fifty ships, this was not a difficult task.
After receiving the order, teams of soldiers marched out of the square in neat rows and headed for their destination.
The entire royal capital was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
In a house near the outskirts of the city, six men dressed in traditional Alabasta costumes were hiding in the cellar and discussing in low voices.
"It seems that the two explosions yesterday have angered Crocodile."
"What good will a one-day martial law do? I don't believe they can find us."
"We put a lot of thought into this cellar. It's difficult for anyone to find the entrance."
"Once the ban is lifted tomorrow, we're going to have a big show in the capital. We can't let other departments outdo us."
"Boom boom boom boom boom~~" A series of heavy footsteps came from far away.
Even though they were in a cellar more than ten meters deep, they could hear it very clearly.
What they didn't expect was that the footsteps stopped directly above their heads.
"Impossible? Have we been discovered?"
"It must be a coincidence. The people up there pretending to be a couple can handle it."
"Even if they are exposed, we will be fine."
"Those two officers are said to be very powerful."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of fierce fighting was heard from above.
Several people looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and panic.
Ajin led the soldiers straight to a private house in the east of the city.
After ordering the soldiers to cordon off the surrounding area, they knocked on the door of the room.
The person who opened the door was a beautiful woman in her twenties. She looked a little scared when she saw Ajin outside the door and the large number of soldiers behind him.
"Sir, what's the matter?" the woman asked pitifully.
"Don't be afraid. Officials are checking the entire city, every household will be checked. I have to go inside and take a look. It will be over soon."
Ah Jin said with a slight smile, but his sickly face made his smile really scary.
"Then please come in." The woman stepped aside and motioned Ajin to come in.
"Is there anyone else in the room?" Ajin asked casually.
"And my husband is preparing breakfast. Sorry." The woman looked apologetic.
When Ajin heard the other party's answer, the smile on his face became even more intense.
"Emily, are there any guests?" a young man came in from another room and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"It's an official inspection," the woman explained softly.
But when the man turned around and saw Ajin dressed casually and with a walking hammer stuck in his waist, his pupils shrank slightly.
"Are you sure there are only two of you at home? If other people are found, it will be a serious crime of treason." Ajin looked at the man and asked.
"You can search the house freely." The man shrugged nonchalantly.
"Before I conduct a thorough search, please put on these handcuffs."
"Don't worry. After all, I'm the only one conducting the search. I'm handcuffing you just to ensure my own safety."
"I'll unlock it for you once I'm done searching."
Ajin took out two pairs of green handcuffs from his waist and waved them in front of the two men.
When the two men saw the handcuffs, they looked at each other with unnatural expressions on their faces.
"Sir, I'm a reporter for the Alabasta National Newspaper."
"I haven't done anything wrong, I don't need to wear this thing." The man said indignantly.
"This is not up to you." Ajin's tone gradually became cold.
Before, he was not sure about the identities of these two people, but after several tests, the answer became obvious.
All eight people in this house are spies.
"Which department are you from? I'm going to expose you in the newspaper." the man shouted.
"What about you? Which department do you belong to?"
"CP5? CP6? Or...CP9?" Ajin asked in a grim tone.
When they heard this, their bodies trembled at the same time, and an incredible expression appeared on their faces.
"Are you an agent of Baroque Works? I haven't seen your wanted poster, so your rank shouldn't be high."
"I'm curious how you were able to lock onto our location so accurately."
"So far, neither of us has taken any action." The man's face darkened.
"How could I possibly tell you such a secret? Do you think I'm an idiot?" Ajin said with a sneer.
"Emily, it seems that at this point, our only way to escape is to fight our way out." The man licked his lips and said.
"I originally wanted to play the role of a housewife for a few more days. This kind of life is quite comfortable. What a pity." The woman's face was full of regret.
"Escape from here? You seem to be a little too confident in your own strength." Ajin said with a sarcastic look on his face.
"How do you know if you don't try?" The man said, and his body began to undergo huge changes.
The same thing happened to women, as fine white hair began to grow all over their bodies.
Seeing this, Ajin did not panic at all, but just silently pulled out the crutch hammer from his waist.
"Cat and mouse, what a strange combination."
"The user of the fruit ability is not someone you can make fun of casually. Get started!"
As the man spoke, he roared and suddenly attacked Ajin, and the woman followed closely behind.
Both of them were extremely fast, and at such a close distance, the attack would hit Ajin in an instant.
