Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

Thousands of crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.

The floor tiles underfoot were made of precious lapis lazuli and white jade.

In the center of the hall, King Hamburg of Balleywood reclined on his throne.

This is a huge chair made of ivory and gold, covered with snow-white fox fur.

Hamburger wore a brocade robe studded with diamonds; the brilliance of a single diamond could probably buy the lives of everyone in the entire slum outside.

"Ha ha, look, our guests have arrived!" King Hamborg's voice boomed as he held a pure silver goblet filled with bright red wine.

The king's audience was not formal, but took place at a banquet.

In front of each table was a whole roasted suckling pig, its skin and flesh still trembling slightly, sprinkled with expensive spices.

Then came a mountain of desserts and barrels of top-quality champagne, some of which were still unopened.

Uchiha Hakuba's gaze swept over the table full of delicacies, without revealing the slightest envy. His mind was filled with the contrast between the luxury before him and the tragic scene on the street just moments before, creating a nauseating irony.

"Haha, welcome to my country. I have invited you here today only to make a few new friends."

Although Hamburger's words were very polite, his eyes seemed to be sizing up several prey, and his tone was indescribably strange.

The surrounding nobles let out a low chuckle, their gazes darting unabashedly over Bai Yu and the others, as if they were some strange monsters.

"Your Majesty, these are people with extraordinary abilities."

"Extraordinary?"

Hamburger raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued. He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to push the roast suckling pig in front of Bai Yu.

"Since he is an extraordinary hero, then let him try this top-quality suckling pig that was just transported from the south. If it doesn't suit his taste, he can just throw it away."

As soon as he finished speaking, several waiters came forward with silver platters, cut up the roasted suckling pig, which was golden brown and juicy and gave off an enticing aroma, and placed it in front of Bai Yu's table.

Uchiha Hakuba stared silently at the suckling pig, neither touching his knife and fork nor showing any expression.

"What? Aren't you going to eat?"

Hamburg chuckled, "Still feel this food is beneath your status?"

Bai Yu slowly raised his head, and the three tomoe in his Sharingan eyes slowly rotated, instantly spreading an invisible sense of oppression throughout the hall.

"Humph……"

Uchiha Hakuba's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly echoed throughout the entire hall: "This suckling pig does look delicious, but unfortunately, I don't like eating things that... have a bloody smell."

"The smell of blood?"

Hamburg paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. "This was just baked, how could it smell bloody? Or are you joking?"

"I'm not joking."

Bai Yu's gaze swept over Hamburg's diamond-studded brocade robe, finally settling on his greasy lips.

"The diamonds on His Majesty's body, and the gold in this hall, weren't they all bought with the blood of those who starved to death outside the city? This suckling pig was bought with the blood of some poor soul in the slums."

The laughter in the hall stopped abruptly, and the air froze instantly.

Hamburger's face darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"How dare you! Exile! Exile!"

Hamburger slammed his hand on the armrest, and the ivory armrest instantly cracked open, clearly demonstrating that Hamburger also possessed considerable skill.

Do you know who you're talking to?

"I am talking to a foolish ruler who sits on a mountain of gold and watches his people starve to death without doing anything."

Bai Yu met Hamborg's gaze without fear, the light in his Sharingan growing ever more dazzling.

"Instead of wasting this suckling pig here, you should give it to those who are still alive outside the city. At least in their mouths, it can be called food, not garbage."

"You..." Hamburger trembled with rage. He was about to order the guards to attack when he found that he could not move his body and then fainted.

"This is……"

Bai Yu slowly stood up, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, causing the entire hall to tremble under this power.

"We're not here to eat your food, nor to flatter you."

Uchiha Hakuba coldly said, "The rich feast while the poor freeze to death on the streets. Sooner or later, the Revolutionary Army will overthrow this place."

After saying that, Bai Yu turned to look at the people next to him: "Let's go, the air here is too polluted, I'm afraid it will get our clothes dirty."

The group turned and walked out of the hall, leaving behind a hall full of astonished nobles and a livid-faced Hamborg.

"Stop them! Don't let them get away, especially Nico Robin!"

Hamburg finally realized what was happening and roared hysterically.

It turns out that his target at the banquet was actually Nico Robin.

Chapter 46 Trivial Skills

At Hamburger's command, the guards outside the hall surged in like a tide, wielding spears and shields, instantly blocking the hall's entrance completely.

"Capture them all, don't let a single one escape! Especially Nico Robin. As a member state of the World Conquest, capturing Nico Robin is the best way to appease the Celestial Dragons."

Hamburger practically roared, his face contorted with rage.

Upon hearing Hamborg's words, Bai Yu slowly turned around, his Sharingan eyes spinning even faster.

"I can't say I can't hear you. Anyone who tries to harm Robin must die."

The next second, an invisible shockwave suddenly spread out from his body—

Conqueror's Haki!

Like a heavy hammer striking the water, the air vibrated violently.

The guards in the front row collapsed to the ground without uttering a sound.

The guards behind were also stunned and dizzy, their weapons fell to the ground, and they collapsed. The entire team collapsed instantly.

Hamburg's pupils constricted sharply: "What...what kind of power is this?! Could it be...could it be...but how is this possible..."

Why would an ordinary Uchiha like Bai Yu awaken Conqueror's Haki? The only explanation is that he has the talent for it…

Bai Yu ignored him and instead looked at the two people beside him.

"Rangiku, Robin, it seems we have no choice but to take action."

Matsumoto Rangiku smiled slightly and hoisted Xueji onto her shoulder.

Nico Robin calmly nodded, crossing her arms.

"Connor, take care of yourself."

Then, the two stepped forward at the same time.

Matsumoto Rangiku made the first move; with a light tap of her toes, she darted into the remaining guards like a gust of wind.

She didn't draw her sword, but used the scabbard as a weapon, employing the techniques taught to her by Uchiha Hakuba.

"Anyone who covets Robin is an enemy!"

With each swing, a whooshing sound filled the air, and the guards were sent flying like paper dolls. Some had their bones shattered, while many more were knocked unconscious.

At the same time, she formed a hand seal and whispered:

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

As a gust of wind emerged from Matsumoto Rangiku's palm, the guards found it extremely difficult to even stand.

On the other hand, Nico Robin's abilities proved even more effective against the weaker enemies.

"Sixty-wheeled flower - bondage".

Countless arms grew from the ground, walls, and ceiling, wrapping around the guards' limbs and weapons like vines, rendering them unable to move.

"A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom - Palm!"

Hundreds of arms exerted force simultaneously, throwing all the bound guards into the air and then slamming them hard to the ground, rendering them unable to fight.

Throughout the hall, screams, the clanging of metal, and the cracking of bones mingled together.

The nobles were terrified and huddled in a corner, not daring to utter a sound.

Hamburger's face grew even darker; he realized...

He hadn't messed with ordinary people, but a group of monsters with abilities!

"You...you all deserve to die, Royal Guards!"

As Hamburger suddenly stood up, a formidable aura erupted from his body.

Although he was a foolish ruler, he was still a king and had some power.

"You think you can win like this? The royal guards are still on their way! This palace will be your grave!"

Bai Yu slightly raised his head, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"grave?"

He repeated softly, "That depends on whether you're qualified to prepare it for us."

He then took a step forward.

The entire hall seemed to be pressed down by an invisible force, and everyone felt a tightness in their chest and difficulty breathing.

Hamburg felt a blur before his eyes, and Uchiha Hakuha's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"So fast!"

Hamburg was startled and was about to step back when he felt a scorching heat coming from above him.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

Bai Yu formed a hand seal in the air and spewed out a sea of ​​fire.

The flames cascaded down like a waterfall, instantly burning through the ceiling of the hall, and a huge wave of fire swept towards the guards all around.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The guards were instantly engulfed in flames, their screams echoing throughout the room.
