Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

At the horizon, three heavy aircraft carriers, accompanied by a massive formation of fighter jets that blotted out the sky, rolled in like steel behemoths.

The dazzling red and blue tail flames streaked across the gloomy downpour, leaving blinding arcs.

Those weren't just one or two seabirds, but hundreds or even thousands of supersonic fighter jets representing the pinnacle of human industrial technology.

The deafening roar of the engines even momentarily suppressed the raging waves of the entire Bermuda Triangle.

In the very second that the massive steel shadow completely enveloped the three-masted wooden sailing ship.

Lu Jingyan's pale blue "absolute rationality" vision broke down all the panic and shock into the most intuitive physical data.

At 0.1 seconds, a low-flying carrier-based fighter jet produced a panic-inducing sonic boom.

The shockwave spread out in a radial pattern, instantly shattering the few remaining tattered sails on the wooden sailboat.

In 0.3 seconds, the green-haired swordsman's fingers gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

He attempted to use his so-called "Sword Master's Will" to lock onto the lightning-fast steel bird in the sky.

But to their horror, they discovered that their dynamic vision was simply unable to keep up with the speed limits that crossed the sound barrier.

At 0.5 seconds, the turbulent air currents carried the pungent smell of aviation kerosene.

The blast wave instantly blew away the half-smoked cigarette that the blond chef had just lit from his mouth.

The intense heat even caused a slight, uncontrollable numbness and spasm in his calf muscles.

In 0.8 seconds, the automatic air defense system on the aircraft carrier deck completed its calibration.

The dense array of infrared beams from the fire control radar coldly swept over the pirates, leaving streaks of crimson light.

It ended in one second.

The group of pirates, who had been shouting about pursuing freedom and acting lawlessly on the high seas, froze in place in perfect unison.

Their mouths were agape as they looked up at the sky, their pupils filled with unbelievable despair.

This kind of violent aesthetic, built purely on industry and technology, completely shattered their youthful idealism.

"Hey, Green Moss Head... have we ever seen anything like this when we rob merchant ships?"

The blond chef's voice trembled particularly loudly amidst the clattering of his teeth.

The green-haired swordsman did not answer, because cold sweat was already running down his forehead and into his eyes, stinging painfully.

"No...no, those navy men used to be afraid of my sword."

The swordsman swallowed hard. "But those big iron birds in the sky seem to have no intention of paying any attention to my sword intent."

Just then, the straw-hatted boy on the pirate ship also completely sobered up from his excitement.

He looked around at the dark mass of heavy battleships and cruisers that completely blocked the horizon.

The slogans that were originally meant to be shouted were instantly stuck in his throat and turned into a series of comical burps.

"This isn't fair!" The boy, clutching his right arm which was riddled with bullet holes, shouted at Lu Jingyan in a wronged tone.

"The sea should be a stage for free adventure! Why do you use so many large iron ships to bully people!"

Standing on the command platform of the peacekeeping cruiser, Lu Jingyan meticulously buttoned up his police uniform jacket.

"An adventure of freedom?"

The man's cool voice pierced through the loudspeaker, carrying an absolute sense of rational disdain.

"In the face of the true machinery of the state's rule of law, any expedition that is detached from production and construction and relies on plundering civilians for survival is a parasite of society."

"I gave you the opportunity to abide by the law and comply with regulations, but you chose to violently resist the law."

Lu Jingyan raised her right hand, her slender fingertips gently waving downwards in mid-air.

"Fire! Give these high-seas pirates a good beating. Avoid vital areas and execute non-lethal deterrent fire."

"Alright! Chief, just you wait and see!"

Zhao Tiezhu shouted excitedly and immediately gave the firing order over the walkie-talkie.

"boom--!"

On the frigate closest to the pirate ship, a single-barreled main gun spat out a blinding tongue of fire.

A single high-explosive armor-piercing shell grazed the stern of the pirate ship and landed in the sea.

The violent explosion instantly created a towering wave several meters high.

The violent shockwave instantly shattered the old wooden mast ship in half.

The sound of the keel breaking was particularly jarring amidst the raging waves, and wood chips and sails turned into countless fragments flying everywhere.

The green-haired swordsman gritted his teeth and leaped into the air with all his might.

His twin blades flashed in the storm, leaving two cross-shaped streaks as he tried to stop the rapidly approaching special anti-riot munitions.

However, modern air defense systems gave him no chance to demonstrate his swordsmanship.

The aircraft carrier's close-in weapon system deflected slightly, and a supersonic anti-aircraft interceptor missile, accompanied by a sharp whistle, exploded with a bang fifty meters away from him.

The powerful sonic boom and shockwave instantly caused the so-called swordsman's eardrums to bleed, and he was sent flying like a sandbag into the sea.

His sword intent and his pride, in the face of modern heavy firepower, didn't even have a chance to touch the edge of a missile.

thump.

Giant waves crashed against the wooden boat, which had already begun to sink.

The icy seawater washed over the deck, extinguishing the last vestiges of the pirates' youthful fantasies.

"Help! I can't swim! Is there any meat? I want to eat meat!"

The straw-hat boy who once clamored to become the Pirate King was now soaking wet, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face.

His rubber body became weak and powerless after being soaked in seawater, and he was no longer as arrogant as before.

The boy pulled a dirty white apron from his pocket, a piece of clothing he had somehow acquired.

He raised the apron that served as a white flag high, knelt down on the rotten wooden planks filled with water, and surrendered with tears in his eyes.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! We give up! We'll go to jail, okay?!"

Seeing this scene, the observers standing in the command vehicle all wore complex expressions.

The Bermuda pirates, who once struck fear into the hearts of the entire international shipping industry, were brought to their knees in just ten minutes.

Lu Jingyan snapped his fingers expressionlessly. "Tiezhu, put on the specially made high-density alloy handcuffs and take them away."

Zhao Tiezhu grinned widely and led a team of fully armed peacekeeping soldiers, quickly approaching on special assault boats.

The heavy handcuffs clicked shut with a crisp sound.

Those pirates who boasted of having superpowers and having eaten all sorts of Devil Fruits, the moment they touched the high-density special alloy...

Everyone was completely paralyzed by the physical pressure and obediently put on the silver bracelets.

Wearing handcuffs and a detention warrant, Lu Jingyan looked down at the straw-hatted boy being carried onto the deck.

"According to public international law, your actions will be referred to the International Criminal Court in The Hague for trial."

"Go inside and honestly confess about your superiors and the whereabouts of the stolen money."

The boy nodded, sobbing, as the straw hat that symbolized his dreams drifted away in the sea, without him even daring to glance at it.

With the last pirate being taken to the high-security prison on the peacekeeping cruiser.

The strange, strong magnetic field and dark clouds that had enveloped the Bermuda Triangle began to slowly dissipate.

From the moment that dead sea was cleared away, sunlight once again shone on the calm surface of the sea.

The last lawless place on Earth was completely eradicated at this moment.

Six months later.

Beijing, the capital of China, the headquarters of the Special Investigation Team.

Sunlight streamed through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow on the clean and tidy desk.

Lu Jingyan sat in a comfortable leather chair, holding a cup of flower tea that Su Xiaoxiao had just brewed.

On one corner of the desk, letters of tribute from major security agencies around the world are neatly stacked.

After more than half a year of high-pressure legal education and heavy-handed rectification.

Gotham City's superheroes now clock in on time for work every day, and even gangsters ask for receipts when they go out to buy hamburgers.

In Paris, thieves knead dough in a baguette factory until their hands cramp, while in Japan, Yakuza run frantically through the streets with city officials for a mere two euros.

Meanwhile, the Bermuda pirates across the ocean are diligently reciting the Civil Code behind bars at the International Court of Justice.

All those who are ignorant of the law are now bound by the reins of the system, and their chaotic superpowers retreat without a fight in the face of reason.

Su Xiaoxiao was humming a cheerful tune as she typed out the last archived report on the completion of the national legal education campaign.

The girl turned her head playfully, her eyes sparkling.

"Captain Lu, the Skynet system has just updated its data. The global real-time crime rate has been zero for three whole months!"

"Does this mean we've successfully recruited all the demons and monsters on Earth?"

Lu Jingyan took a sip of the flower tea, a gentle light flashing in his deep, starry eyes.

"The rule of law is not the end goal, but merely a set of physical rules for maintaining order."

The man's voice was deep and magnetic, carrying his usual absolute rationality.

"As long as human nature has selfish desires, the rules will need to keep running."

Standing to the side, holding a Gatling gun, Zhao Tiezhu sighed somewhat listlessly.

"Sigh, it's good that the world is at peace, but seeing these superheroes helping old ladies cross the street every day is making my gun barrel rust."

Just as the office was filled with laughter and a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere.

The red private telephone on the desk, used for top-secret international communications, suddenly rang sharply without warning.

A blinding red light flashed wildly in the spacious, brightly lit office.

Lu Jingyan frowned slightly, and that absolute rationality with its strong sense of order once again enveloped the entire room.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop suddenly in that instant, and even the steam in the teacup stopped rising.

His slender fingers extended steadily, and without the slightest hesitation, he picked up the red receiver.

The voice that came from the other end of the phone was that of an elderly man, filled with extreme reverence and trembling.

"Director Lu, I'm sorry to bother you at this time."

"However, with the unanimous approval of our review committee, there is an unprecedented and prestigious honor that you must personally witness."

Lu Jingyan listened to the other party's statement with a blank expression, his tone as calm as still water.

"I am Lu Jingyan, get to the point."

The old man on the other end of the phone took a deep breath and shouted excitedly in an almost trembling voice.

"Director Lu, this year's Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded to you alone in Stockholm!"

Upon hearing this news, Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Tiezhu both showed expressions of extreme surprise and shock.

Lu Jingyan simply rubbed his temples lightly, a slightly helpless smile curving his lips.

"It seems we need to prepare to head to the next stop."
