One Piece: The story was spoiled for Im Saint right from the start.

The little thief cat and the devil's child were also found in the basement of the Iceberg Mansion.

"They've all been taken away and dealt with."

Before Sumer could speak, Macas Mazsan gave the order, then looked at the naval captain standing guard to the side.

When will the warship be repaired?

"My Lord, it will take at least eight hours!"

The colonel, who was being questioned, stood ramrod straight, carefully estimated the answer, and then replied.

Eight hours?

Marcus Mazsan's face darkened.

According to the original plan, they should have set off for Mary Geoise by now.

However, after the disturbance at the Frankie House last night, the warship was damaged and will be unable to set sail unless it is repaired.

Fortunately, we were in Water Seven, where many repair materials could be found in the various shipyard warehouses.

If this were on another island with limited resources, it would probably take three to five days before they could even set sail.

"The warships must set sail within five hours!"

"Yes!"

Marcus Mazsan once again gave the order, leaving no room for doubt.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm going back to sleep."

Sumer yawned, preparing to go back to sleep for a while.

After waking up, I need to exercise a bit to toughen up my willpower.

Shortly after Sumer returned to the hotel with Nami and Robin.

The Navy arrested a large number of the Franky House thugs, their families, and members of the Carrera Corporation led by Iceberg.

These people were all taken to the seaside.

There were over a thousand people.

With many citizens and various social figures in Water City watching from the sidelines, they were all executed.

The blood pooled into a crimson stream, flowing into the sea and quickly staining the entire shallows red.

This scene was utterly horrific.

Makas, who could issue orders, didn't care.

Because in his eyes, these were nothing more than lowly insects.

I wonder if Franky, and even Iceberg who was executed, will regret dragging so many people down with them for their own selfish reasons.

In the end, all that was really done was that Mazsan and the others stayed in Water Seven for five more hours.

44. Put a slave collar on him

Five hours.

Time flies.

Sumer felt as if he had just lain down when Kalifa carefully woke him up.

"Lord Sumer, the warships have been repaired, and Spandam has returned!"

Kalifa spoke as she dressed Sumer.

Bed.

Nami and Robin looked utterly hopeless; their eyes, which should have been bright and sparkling like stars, were now dull and lifeless.

Those five hours were extremely agonizing for them.

Because Zoro and Sanji were captured again, they lost all hope.

Most humiliatingly, both of them had slave collars placed around their necks.

As long as that beast Saint Germain—the Sumerian Saint—presses the switch, they will be blown to pieces.

They'll die a horrible death!

Robin's seastone handcuffs were removed because she was wearing a slave collar.

"Oh?"

Sumer still had some hope when he heard that Spandam was coming back.

Last time, Spandam brought Jabra and the other two, along with the Giraffe Fruit and the Bubble Fruit, to Water Seven to pay homage to him and Markus Maz-Saint.

She tried to please and flatter him in almost every way.

She practically wanted to kneel down and lick his shoes, like a lapdog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

During that time, he only mentioned wanting a handy gun, and the guy immediately pledged his loyalty and said he'd take care of it.

Then, without even having a meal, he left Water Seven.

They must have brought back gifts this time.

Let's tidy it up.

Sumer arrived at the hotel lobby and saw Spandam directing several government officials to carry treasure chests from outside.

"Holy Lord Sumer!"

Upon seeing Sumer, Spandam immediately performed the grand ceremony of kneeling and kowtowing three times and bowing nine times, his face practically etched with the words "utterly loyal."

In terms of being a lackey, Sumer considered himself inferior to Spandam.

This guy is willing to do anything to climb the ladder; he has no bottom line whatsoever.

Even if Sumer asked him to kill his own mother right now, Spandam probably wouldn't hesitate for long.

"Get up!"

Sumer's gaze was fixed on the six treasure chests, wondering what Spandam had brought him.

"Yes."

“Sage Sumer, we returned in such a hurry that we only managed to collect some ordinary items.”

Spandam approached Sumer with a fawning expression and waved for the government officials to open the six treasure chests.

creak~

As the six wooden crates were opened one after another, the first three contained neatly stacked gold nuggets.

It's obvious at a glance that it's very pure.

Sumer ignored it, because money was just a number to him now.

Does he need to buy anything he wants?

The fourth wooden box contained a Devil Fruit, which surprised Sumer.

Wasn't it only the giraffe and the bubble-bubble fruit that weren't eaten in the Enies Lobby arc?

"Lord Sumer, this is a Zoan-type Gray Rabbit Fruit, which I purchased at auction for 200 million Berries."

Spandam is very good at reading people.

Seeing that Sumer had skipped over the three full chests of gold nuggets and stopped in front of the gray rabbit fruit, he immediately began to explain.

"Two hundred million Berries? Isn't the market price of an ordinary Devil Fruit one hundred million Berries right now?"

Sumer picked up the Gray Rabbit Fruit to examine it, but it was just an ordinary one. It would have been better if it were an ancient or mythical beast.

Even a Paramecia type would be fine!

Spandam's abilities are still quite limited.

“Sage Sumer, this is, after all, a treasure of the sea, and it is not so easy to obtain. That is why I was maliciously outbid during the auction.”

"Although it's just an ordinary seed, I've seen your intentions."

Sumer put the gray rabbit fruit back into the wooden box, outwardly praising Spandam's gift-giving behavior.

From Spandam's perspective, there's nothing wrong with wanting to climb the ranks.

After all, everyone has dreams and aspirations.

He was the same in this respect.

In order to survive and have better conditions for his debut, isn't he just like a lapdog trying to please Narona Im Saint?

Again.
