Chapter 219: Prepare to Attack the World Government!
The ruins of G-5 were still smoldering with embers when Ryuunosuke and his crew arrived.
But amidst the destruction… seven figures sat atop the rubble like vultures on a corpse.
At the leader's feet lay Gunnado—lifeless.
The proud captain of the Logistics Division, reduced to a discarded body.
"The Dragon Hunter Pirates… hahaha! I knew you'd come," the leader sneered.
He kicked Gunnado's corpse aside like trash and stepped forward arrogantly.
"Allow me to introduce myself. We are the Dwool Organization, operating directly under the World Government."
"The order has been given—the Dragon Hunter Pirates are to be erased."
"And instead of hunting you down, I decided to wait here."
He smirked.
"And you fools really showed up. How convenient."
Ryuunosuke didn't flinch.
"Dwool, huh?" he said calmly. "That saves me the trouble of finding you myself."
He took out a Den Den Mushi from his coat and dialed.
"Morgans."
The voice of the News King came crackling through the line.
"I've confirmed the affiliation of the attackers," Ryuunosuke said coldly. "They're from Dwool. Pass this on."
"And one more thing."
Ryuunosuke's voice turned sharp.
"Three months from now, the Dragon Hunter Pirates will march on Mariejois."
"Let the entire world know."
"I, Ryuunosuke—the Fifth Emperor of the Sea—am declaring war."
"Publish it. Imperial Pursuit Order."
Morgans nearly choked on his cigar.
He had been gathering intel on the Dwool organization, and yet Ryuunosuke already had their names, faces, and corpses at his feet. How did he find them so fast?
There had been no news birds. No leaks.
Had they outed themselves?
Before Morgans could respond, the ground shook.
"BOOM!"
One of the Dwool agents—a hulking brute—suddenly lunged forward with a thunderous punch.
But he was stopped mid-air.
By Uvogin.
"Hey, can't you see our captain's on the phone?" Uvogin grinned savagely. "No sneak attacks allowed."
"Besides, I love throwing guys like you around."
With a flex of his hand, Uvogin crushed the brute's fist—despite his opponent's full Armament Haki defense.
"CRACK!"
The man didn't scream. He launched a flying kick instead.
Uvogin met it head-on, blocking it with his forearm.
"Oh? Not bad," he grinned.
With his aura intensifying, Uvogin's enhancement-type Haki roared to life.
The ground beneath him cracked.
With a bellow, he grabbed the man by the waist and launched him into the distance like a cannonball.
Boom!
A perfect arc.
Uvogin cracked his neck and laughed. "Now that's what I call fun."
Nearby, Ryuunosuke continued calmly discussing bounty logistics with Morgans.
The chaos around him was irrelevant.
"Is that the strongest fighter in your crew?" one of the Dwool agents scoffed. "Tch. I thought you'd be tougher."
The lead agent raised a hand.
"Kill them all. Let the world see what happens when you defy the World Government!"
The remaining five Dwool elites rushed in.
Their Haki was impressive—comparable to vice admirals of Marine HQ.
Strong?
Perhaps.
But against the Dragon Hunter Pirates?
They were nothing more than warm-up drills.
"Try not to kill them too fast," Machi said as strings floated around her fingers. "I want to study their bodies later."
"Too late!" Mine grinned, her Romantic Turret already deployed.
Energy gathered at the barrel as she entered sniper mode.
"I'll try not to leave holes… but no promises!"
"Such a pain," Escanor muttered, adjusting his glasses. "I was just cleaning these."
Behind Najenda, a crimson Susanoo materialized, its skeletal frame glowing with wrath.
"Hold position," she ordered. "Captain hasn't given us kill clearance."
"Disable them—don't obliterate."
Chrollo summoned his Bandits Secret Book, flipping through the abilities as phantom fish began swimming around him, their scales shimmering with ominous intent.
The moment the Dwool agents entered the kill zone, the Dragon Hunter Pirates' full pressure descended like a tidal wave.
The Dwool agents stopped mid-charge.
Their instincts screamed at them.
Retreat. Now.
Too late.
"BOOM!"
The same brute who'd fought Uvogin was launched backward—slammed into the ground in front of the team.
"Uvogin?" Machi raised a brow. "Wow. You got tossed around by that guy? Embarrassing."
"Hahaha!" Uvogin laughed as he climbed out of the crater. "He transformed. Some kind of bio-weapon thing."
"But he forgot—monsters like that exist because of us."
He grinned, bloodied but thrilled.
His aura exploded again, shaking the earth beneath his feet.
"This is getting good."
No one moved to help him.
They knew Uvogin's fighting spirit too well.
If he was still grinning, it meant he'd found prey worthy of a real fight.
The others? Unbothered.
They trusted Uvogin to report if something was truly dangerous.
Otherwise, he was just enjoying himself.
Pretending to be weak? Not their style.
"Wrap this up quickly," Chrollo muttered. "We've got a schedule."
At that moment, Ryuunosuke finally ended his call with Morgans and stepped forward.
"You can now transform."
His presence alone silenced the battlefield.
The lead Dwool agent locked eyes with him, now visibly tense.
This wasn't a man.
It was something beyond human.
And Uvogin? That brute was just a grunt.
If he was that strong…
Then what was Ryuunosuke?
"Hahaha… I see now. I misjudged you," the agent forced a smile.
"The others we killed—they said they were Dragon Hunter Pirates. I assumed you were weak."
"But now I know."
"My name is—"
"Didn't you hear me?" Ryuunosuke interrupted.
"I said you can transform."
"Not…"
"Introduce yourself."
BOOM!
Without warning, Ryuunosuke appeared in front of him.
His palm slammed against the man's face—
—and in the next instant, his head exploded into a red mist.
