The power of the explosion truly shocked Linley. Even someone like him, who had been mentally prepared, was shocked, let alone Robin, who had suddenly seen this scene. His mouth was wide open in shock, and his expression was extremely adorable.
He walked to Robin's side and couldn't help but reach out to touch Robin's head." Don't open your mouth so wide. This is my fruit ability!”
"Fruit ability? Brother, have you eaten the Devil Fruit before?”Robin said in surprise,"Like my flowers and fruits."
"Of course." Linley laughed."What I ate was a fruit of bombs, and the power of the fruit is explosive."
"Amazing." A brilliant smile appeared on Robin's face, feeling happy for Linley.
Just as the two of them were chatting, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out from outside. Two bodyguards quickly walked over to Linley, their faces filled with panic.
" Boss, bad news! There's a group of navy soldiers surrounding our castle!"
"What are you panicking for? We're not pirates. Why are we afraid of the navy?”
Linley berated the bodyguards who had barged in, but in his heart, he knew that things were bad. He hadn't expected that the navy would be able to find him so quickly. He had to let Robin escape first. Thinking of this, Linley waved his hand at the two bodyguards. You guys go ahead, I'll be right behind you.
"Is it because of me?" Robin asked timidly from behind.
"It's nothing. Don't worry. Hurry up and escape through the secret passage at the back door. Go to the dark harbor by the sea that I told you about. I'll stall them here first and then go find you.”
Because time was tight, he couldn't say too much. Linley comforted Robin, who was blaming herself, and told her to leave first, then quickly walked towards the front hall.
On the way, Linley stared at this beautifully decorated castle. As he lamented, he threw cards filled with explosive energy all over the castle. He had to have a backup plan.
Arriving at the front hall, he saw a middle-aged officer sitting in the guest seat. He was dressed in a white robe of justice, and a katana was strapped to his waist. Linley had seen him before. He was one of the rear admirals stationed at the 163rd branch of the navy, which was also the W-1 base. His name was Andre, and he specialized in saber techniques.
Putting on a puzzled look, Linley took the lead and asked Andre.
"Major General Andre, what brings you here? I'm very troubled by your arrival in such a large number.”It seemed like a compliment, but in truth, Linley was secretly mocking Andre for bringing so many people here with ill intentions.
"Mr. Caesar, I'm also on a mission. I have no choice. After all, it concerns the whereabouts of the Son of the Demon. I have to be careful."
What Andre meant was, Linley, you are protecting a criminal that the World Government wants to arrest, so I have to do this.
Hearing this, Linley felt that something was wrong. There must be a traitor on his side, and Andre had obtained concrete evidence. Otherwise, given his relationship with his superior, he wouldn't have the guts to speak to him like this. After all, the protection fees of tens of millions every month were not paid for nothing.
"The son of a demon? I don't quite understand what you're talking about. I've never seen a son of the devil.”
Linley didn't hesitate to deny it. But of course, no one would admit to something like this.
"But according to your maid, you seemed to have adopted a little girl who came to your house to steal food two days ago. Is that true? Dear Mr. Caesar?" Andre's mustached face revealed a strange smile.
He sighed heavily in his heart. It was indeed like this. But on the surface, Linley wouldn't be so foolish as to admit it.
"Oh? Was that so? Two days ago, a maid here was crazy and was chased home by me. Maybe it was that maid who lied. Andre, don't malign a good person like me because of a lunatic.”
"Hmph." Andre laughed coldly, not looking at Linley again. He knew that no matter what, Linley would never admit to it. Thus, with a wave of his hand, he shouted at the hundreds of navy soldiers behind him,"First Squad, capture him and bring him back to the branch base for interrogation! Team Two, go in and search. We have to find Nicole Robin no matter what!”
Linley looked at the navy soldiers charging towards him, then let out a heavy sigh. "I didn't want to make a move at first. Why do you have to force me?”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Dozens of cards flew out from his pocket, circling around Linley's body. Blood splattered everywhere, and a few of the nearby soldiers were instantly sliced into pieces by the sharp cards. Their limbs and organs scattered all over the ground.
Andre was shocked. He hadn't expected that a wealthy man like Linley would actually be an expert. Looking at the dead navy soldier, his expression immediately became dark and solemn. His hand was on the hilt of his saber, and he was in a battle stance.
Linley didn't pay him any heed. He took out his pocket watch and said,"Calculating the time, Robin should be here by now. I should be leaving."”
"Caesar, it's really you! You're not going anywhere today! Stay!"
"You can't make me stay." Linley looked at the enraged Andre."You should think about how to survive this explosion."
"What is it? Explosion?" Before he could react, Linley had already charged out of the hall. But before he could chase after him, he saw Linley standing at the door, quietly staring at him with a strange expression.
"Kaiser L. Linley, you…" But before he could say anything, Linley opened his arms.
As his eyes were about to pop out, he spat out a sentence in an extremely cold manner as if he was embracing the world.
"Art is an explosion!”
"Rumble! Rumble!" From a bird's eye view, the entire castle was like a huge firework that exploded with a bang! Thousands of lives were instantly devoured by the explosion!
The smoke dissipated, and Linley stood where the castle had been. Compared to the ruins of the castle, aside from his hair being slightly disheveled by the heat waves, Linley didn't suffer any damage at all. The Exploding Fruit was just so willful!
Under his gaze, Andre, who was covered in blood and had lost an arm, struggled to crawl out of the ruins.
"Go back and tell them that my title is Card King!”
Linley's eyes were cold. Staring at the crippled Andre, he said these words, then left without even turning his head.
-----------
Seeing Linley return safely, Robin let go of the worry he had felt when he had heard the explosion. He threw himself onto Linley, tears of joy flowing down his face.
