Andy arrived in front of the palace, looking at the tightly shut gates with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
He suddenly lifted a foot and kicked the gate heavily.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the gate was instantly kicked open, and wood splinters flew everywhere.
Andy strode into the palace, his figure appearing exceptionally tall and terrifying in the sunlight.
The guards in the palace saw Andy breaking in and drew their weapons, intending to resist.
But their eyes were filled with fear, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
"Overestimating yourselves," Andy snorted coldly, and with a gentle flick of his Demon Blade Zhu Chi, a crimson sword light flashed, and several guards instantly fell, their blood splattering on the ground, staining the marble floor red.
Seeing this, the other guards retreated in fear, not daring to advance another step.
Andy continued towards the council hall, his footsteps echoing in the empty palace, each sound like a heavy stomp on people's hearts.
Inside the council hall, the ministers heard the commotion outside and turned pale with fright.
They huddled together tightly, as if this would give them a sense of security.
"What do we do? He's already in!"
"We're dead..."
The ministers' voices were filled with despair; they had already prepared to meet their deaths.
Andy pushed open the door of the council hall and strode in.
His gaze coldly swept over everyone present, as if he was scrutinizing a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"So it was you who asked that trash Sabrino to kill me?" Andy's voice was cold and deep, devoid of any emotion.
None of the ministers dared to answer; they lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.
"You wanted to kill me, and I eliminated him. Now I'm here to eliminate you. It's only fair and reasonable," Andy said, slowly raising his Demon Blade Zhu Chi, the crimson light on the blade becoming even more dazzling.
"No... don't kill us! We surrender, we are willing to be your slaves!" A minister suddenly knelt on the ground, pleading bitterly.
"Yes, we surrender! Please spare us!" The other ministers followed suit, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly.
"Surrender? Too late." There was no trace of pity in Andy's eyes. He violently swung his Demon Blade Zhu Chi, and streaks of crimson sword light swept towards the ministers like a fierce storm.
Screams instantly erupted as the ministers fell one after another in the sword light, their blood staining the floor of the council hall red.
Andy stood in the pool of blood, his figure appearing exceptionally cold and ferocious.
"Ding~"
"Bounty Points +41 million!"
"Bounty Points +34 million!"
"Bounty Points +27 million!"
"Bounty Points +17 million!"
"Bounty Points +8.7 million!"
...
"A total of 127.7 million Bounty Points. You're still somewhat useful," Andy said coldly, then turned and strode out of the council hall.
He then collected all the valuable treasures in the palace before slowly walking out, satisfied.
At this moment, a large number of pirate descendants and guard soldiers had gathered outside the palace.
They watched Andy emerge from the palace, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
Just then, Andy heard the roar of battle from tens of thousands of civilians. The sound was like a surging tide, carrying endless anger and power.
"Tsk... Damn it, there's still hope," Andy's eyes indifferently swept over the guard soldiers and pirate descendants in front of the palace.
"Charge!"
"Kill those hateful pirates!"
"Die!"
"Follow Lord Andy, kill those pirate descendants, and those guard soldiers who aided the wicked!"
"Kill!!!"
The roaring sounds of battle quickly reached the palace. The guards and pirate descendants immediately turned, looking back in terror.
When they saw a vast mass of civilians charging towards them, their expressions were so fierce they seemed to want to tear them apart.
These commoners, who had once been casually bullied by them, now had flames of rage burning in their eyes, and their faces were filled with hatred and determination.
These commoners had always been objects of their casual bullying, but now, these "trash" dared to resist, and in such large numbers.
At this moment, their livers and guts split, and they were utterly despairing.
At this moment, they realized that they were finished...
Andy's indifferent gaze swept over these terrified individuals, then he leaped up, instantly leaving the palace and heading towards the sea.
He knew that the matters here no longer needed his intervention; the commoners would, in their own way, put an end to the dark rule of Skull Bay.
~~~~~~
Andy arrived at the seaside.
At this time, the sun was gradually setting, and the sky was dyed orange-red, reflecting off the clear blue sea, forming a beautiful picture.
He took out a tent and a carpet from his spatial storage, set up the tent, and then took out a pile of food.
He now had 402.7 million Bounty Points, and it was time to strengthen himself.
"System, consume 200 million Bounty Points to strengthen Swordsmanship Proficiency!"
"Ding~"
"Strengthening... 3... 2... 1... Strengthening successful!"
Swordsmanship Proficiency (Swordsman): 20/100 (Can add points, will undergo qualitative change after max level!)
"Hiss!"
"100 million Bounty Points only strengthened 10 points of proficiency. To reach the Great Swordsman realm, it will cost 1 billion Berries!" Although Andy was prepared, he was still shocked by this huge consumption.
After all, he was planning to strengthen himself in all aspects!
Bounty Points were becoming increasingly insufficient.
"System, consume 200 million Bounty Points to strengthen Armament Haki, and consume 2.7 million Bounty Points to strengthen Physical Strength!"
"Ding~"
"Strengthening... 3... 2... 1... Strengthening successful!"
Armament Haki Proficiency (Normal): 46/100 (Can add points, will undergo qualitative change after max level!)
Physical Strength: 138.7 million Berries level (Can add points)
After the strengthening, Andy was truly a pauper, with no Bounty Points left, but he also felt his strength had increased several times over!

"Hiss~"
"Sure enough, every time I strengthen my physique, I get hungry." After carefully experiencing his strength, Andy felt an emptiness in his stomach.
Fortunately, he had prepared food in advance.
However, with the strengthening of his physique, the scar left by the wound Duke (Bones) had inflicted on his face also disappeared, which made him feel a bit regretful.
Just as Andy was about to enjoy his meal, he suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
It was the commoners.
Tens of thousands of commoners had surrounded him. Their eyes, aside from a slight fear, seemed to be filled with gratitude?
Could they be here to thank him?
Thinking of this, Andy instantly got goosebumps.
Just then, the old man, walking with trembling steps and a stooped figure, appeared.
Immediately after, a cacophony of angry shouts instantly engulfed Andy.
"You hateful Red Hawk! It was you who brought our Skull Bay to this state!"
"Get lost quickly, don't let us see you again!"
"Take your treasures and get out of our Skull Bay! We don't welcome you pirates here!"
"Once you've eaten your fill, just get out!"
"None of the pirates are good! They stole all the treasures from our Skull Bay!"
"Pirates indeed only bring disaster, they can't be trusted at all..."
A group of people cursed and grumbled, throwing a pile of treasures heavily near Andy, their faces showing what seemed like genuine anger, as if they were about to rush forward and beat Andy up the next second.
Andy was completely stunned, looking at the commoners in front of him. At some point, their faces were covered in tears, shimmering in the firelight.
"Hahahaha! You fools, I'm a genuine pirate! If I don't rob treasures, what kind of pirate would I be?" Andy laughed loudly, a wild look on his face. "All of you, live well, and wait for me to come back and rob you next time!"
With that, he waved his hand, sweeping all the treasures, the tent, and the food into his spatial storage, then immediately rode his jet ski and left Skull Bay.
On the shore, the commoners of Skull Bay watched Andy's receding figure in silence, only tears flowing uncontrollably, speaking of unspeakable emotions in the sea breeze.
